Happy Shennong

Chapter 108
After owning his own company, Hong Ying's career really lived up to his name, soaring to the sky like an eagle spreading its wings.

At the time when Hong Ying started his business, there was no such thing as a mortgage when buying a house.So those who engaged in real estate at that time, the funds returned to the circulation quite quickly.Basically, when the real estate project is completed and the house is sold out, all costs and profits can be obtained.

But when his real estate business was in full swing, he suddenly announced that he would quit the real estate industry and transfer to the catering and service industry.As soon as this news came out, many people were shocked, because it was too sudden and bizarre.There are also rumors that he is crazy, otherwise he would not have blocked the great money.

The most important thing is that he bought a lot of land, because the location is too remote, and there are many useless land that have not changed hands.

In fact, all of this was planned by him...

In a few years, his catering and hotel have developed in a decent way.Until this time, no one realized that real estate was only a springboard for his career.There are restaurants and hotels opened by him in almost all the prosperous areas in the city, and all the houses he built and reserved are used.

The unused remote land in his hands became a new urban planning area within a few years.He made another fortune by selling land.Then, he used the money to further consolidate and expand his business empire, and formed the Hongying Group.

Just when everyone predicted that he would monopolize the catering and hotel industry in Longteng City, he once again made a shocking decision: instead of making further expansion in this city, he chose to build a national chain.

Until now, the catering and hotels under the Hongying Group only accounted for about 50.00% of Longteng.However, the flag of Hongying Group is flying in nearly a hundred cities across the country.Including Qingyun City, he also holds about 20.00% of the shares.

Even if he only accounted for 50.00% on average in other cities, the total sum would be much more than the [-]% he gave up in Longteng.What's more, he can't completely occupy Longteng's market at all.

The current Hongying Group has a market value of more than 1000 billion. It was once the group with the highest market value in China. He has also been the richest man in the country for nearly ten years.Later, although these two titles were taken away by emerging electronics and e-commerce companies, they did not make it to the top five.

Moreover, his legend is enough to leave a strong mark in the domestic business history.

Linley listened carefully to what Zhong Wanlong said as if it were a story.After listening to it, I was still immersed in the atmosphere of the story, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

After a while, Linley said with emotion: "Old Hong's experience in business is indeed a legend. His few attempts to be the first are definitely not something that anyone can do. No, most people dare not even think about it." think."

"So it is he who rises up, not others." Zhong Wanlong nodded.

"Uncle Zhong, it sounds like the Hongying Group should be the model for the Shunchang Group. It's a pity that the Shunchang Group is stagnant and has given up the opportunity to grow."

"It's also a template for our group." Zhong Wanlong said with a smile, "When our group hit a bottleneck, I went to visit Brother Hong with the mentality of giving it a try. That was also the first time we met."

Linley's eyes lit up: "Before that, you didn't know each other?"

"We must know each other, but we have never met. When we first met, he had only 10 minutes to spare, but after we chatted for 10 minutes, he found that we hit it off. We all started from the grassroots, step by step. When we grew up, we all started in real estate. In addition, we have many similarities in personality, so chatting is like finding a bosom friend. Then, he postponed the scheduled meeting and chatted with the old man for three full days. Hours."

"This should be the so-called hero who sees the same thing."

"After I came back, I thought about what I had talked with him for several days, and finally set the tone for the transformation, and locked the new direction in retail. Since then, we have often chatted and encouraged each other , improve each other, and this is how the current Bandung Group is. It can be said that he is my business mentor.”

Linley nodded: "It's no wonder Mr. Hong holds such a high place in your heart. It turns out that's the case. By the way, Uncle Zhong, you were also inspired by him when you entered the catering industry later?"

"Haha, getting involved in catering is the most frivolous decision I have ever made in my life. At that time, Brother Hong joked that I have two descendants, and it is difficult to choose an heir after I retire. Maybe I will divide the group. The second reason. The old man also joked that if the old man also started catering, then the sons and daughters would inherit the same. He persuaded the old man to change his career, because he felt that the old man would definitely not be able to survive in the catering industry."

"Uh... being rich is self-willed. You can spend hundreds of millions just because of a joke..."

"In fact, the old man later felt that that joke was really a good solution. It's a pity that as the old man's health is getting worse day by day, let alone the independence of the food and beverage department, it is estimated that the day when the food and beverage department will rise. That's why they had to compete for the right to inherit. But now, this matter has turned again. With your help, the old man's health has recovered, and the food and beverage department has also developed rapidly. Therefore, the old man decided to continue to use that idea. "

"Then their competition is meaningless?"

Zhong Wanlong waved his hand: "There are still some. First of all, there is competition to motivate them. Through competition, they can grow faster so that they can better take over the family business in the future. Therefore, the old man will not take this idea for the time being." Tell them. Otherwise, they will feel that regardless of whether they win or lose, they will get the inheritance right, and they may slack off, which will not achieve the effect of motivating them. Besides, after the competition is over, the old man will give the winner the priority to inherit The same power. And the loser can only inherit the other party's choice."

"Uh..." Linley said in embarrassment, "Even if we picked the rest, it would still be billions of dollars in assets, a height that ordinary people would not be able to reach in a few lifetimes. It's really more popular than others."

"Don't be envious. In the future, your achievements will definitely surpass this old man, even Brother Hong."

"Haha, if the day you said really happened, then my life would be perfect."

……

The next day, the International Bonsai Conference officially started.The first thing to be held is the routine opening ceremony.The president of Longteng City Flower and Bonsai Association and the deputy mayor delivered speeches in person, wishing the event a complete success.

Then, the exhibition hall opened, and a large number of flower bonsai lovers entered the hall.

The expert team led by the president of the Flower and Bonsai Association also started a comprehensive assessment of the exhibited works.They have to select twenty pots of relatively better works within one day.From these works, one Gold Award, two Silver Awards, three Bronze Awards, and six Excellence Awards will be selected.

In addition, the jury will also select individual awards, such as Best Bonsai Award, Best Flower Award, Best Modeling Award, Best Creative Award, Best Style Award and so on.

In order to encourage flower bonsai lovers in a more comprehensive way, the jury decided that all awards cannot be won repeatedly.If a work meets the requirements of multiple awards, it will be based on merit.

However, the jury cannot let the excellent bonsai be buried in order to take care of more people.Therefore, the jury stated that multiple bonsai under the same person's name can win awards at the same time.

This also makes it possible for one person to win multiple awards.

Although there are many awards, Linley still has no extravagant hopes.He is very clear about the level of his bonsai. They are all small and niche. Compared with Zhong Wanlong's real cypresses, they are not worth mentioning.The sole purpose of his visit is to hope that all the three pots of bonsai he brought can be sold.

Zhong Wanlong and Hongying, the two lovers of this rare event, were not idle and kept wandering around.

Linley kept following behind with an attitude of being curious and knowledgeable.

In fact, he really wanted to see what Hong Ying's bonsai looked like, after all, it was related to his 100 million.Although there are more than 200 million on the card, he is not Zhong Wanlong after all. If he loses just like this with 100 million, he will be seriously injured.

Before coming, he really thought that in addition to making money, he might also spend money here, because business opportunities do exist, such as buying potential bonsai or something.

But he didn't expect that the first huge sum of money was used for gambling...

Zhong Wanlong seemed to be full of confidence, and had been leisurely wandering around with Hong Ying.

Not long after, Hong Ying took the initiative to bring it up: "Brother Zhong, Xiaoyou Lin, we still have a million bets. Don't you care about my bonsai at all?"

"To be honest, I really don't care much." Zhong Wanlong said casually.

"Brother Zhong, just pretend. The results of the selection won't come out until evening. I'll take you to see my bonsai first, so that you can be mentally prepared, so that you won't be able to accept it, haha. If you are impulsive, Turning against me on the spot will make people laugh."

With his hands behind his back, Hong Ying came to a large pot of bonsai and introduced: "This pot of sparrow plum is a relatively better pot that I brought this time. How about it, does it look like a champion?"

"If the old man hadn't come, your sparrow plum is indeed likely to win the gold medal." Zhong Wanlong smiled, slowly approached Hong Ying, and asked nervously, "By the way...Brother Hong, you didn't bribe the judges, did you?" ?”

Hong Ying stroked his beard lightly, and said calmly: "No matter what I do, I never go through the back door."

"I can rest assured that."

"Brother Zhong, you are really good at showing off. I admit that my confidence in this bonsai is almost shaken by what you said. Why don't you take me to see your bonsai?"

"Brother Hong, you are not interested in the old man's bonsai, haha, you will know when the result comes out."

Hearing their lively chat, Linley took out his mobile phone and searched.

It is known from the introduction information on the Internet that bird plum has been an important material for making bonsai since ancient times, and is known as one of the "Seven Sages" of bonsai.It is one of the five famous trees in my country's bonsai and one of the bonsai plants exported after my country's accession to the WTO. It can be said to be a national treasure!
