Twelve hours later, the plane finally landed at Maputo International Airport. Due to the time difference, it was also past nine in the morning.

Southern Philippines has changed a lot in recent years. In addition to the rapid economic development, another major event has occurred, that is, the capital was moved from Cape Town to Maputo.

So Maputo has an international airport.

As for the relocation of the capital, there are two reasons:

On the one hand, Cape Town is too far south, which is not conducive to communication between the north and the south.

Moreover, it is close to the Southern Philippines Plateau, and the coastal areas are generally steep terraces. The coastal lowlands are small and the development potential is very limited.

In comparison, Maputo is located in the East Philippine Plains, with much better terrain conditions, and it can also drive the development of Madagascar Island.

On the other hand, because of Xu Dong's coincidence in the past, Maputo has become a hot spot for investment and has driven the development of surrounding urban agglomerations.

Today, the "East Philippine Coastal Economic Belt" centered on Maputo and the "Mediterranean Economic Circle" in the north, one in the south and one in the north, together constitute the two major economic centers of the Philippines.

Relocation is inevitable!

As soon as the group left the airport, Captain Zhou immediately pointed to a large group of people in front and introduced:

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Ye and others are here to pick us up, and Mr. Xu seems to be among them."

Mr. Xu in Zhou Yinsheng's mouth refers to Dabao. Eight years have passed, and Dabao has now firmly become the head of the marketing department, a senior executive of the group.

Xu Dong immediately led the group over.

Ye Hui has not changed much over the years. Except for a few more wrinkles on her forehead, she still looks smart and capable.

"Mr. Xu, you've worked hard!"

Xu Dong waved his hand: "I've said that there's no need to mobilize a large number of people. As long as you can do your job well, it will be the greatest support and respect for me."

"Mr. Xu, if it were normal times, we would definitely not make such a big scene. This time is different. No one knows if there will be a next time. Everyone came here spontaneously."

Ye Hui quickly explained.

The chairman's retirement was no secret, and it had long been spread among the group's senior executives. This time, everyone wanted to express their respect and take the opportunity to get inside information.

At such a critical moment of transition from the old to the new, there will definitely be a big change in personnel. For everyone, there are crises and opportunities.

Xu Dong smiled and said nothing more, and then shook hands with everyone on the scene.

When it was Dabao's turn, as an old father, looking at his eldest son's mature and steady face, he couldn't help but pat his shoulder.

Dabao straightened his chest slightly and smiled back, everything was self-explanatory.

...

After the airport pick-up, Xu Dong did not return to the company, but sent everyone away directly.

Then he sat in his eldest son's car. The company's business was not urgent, so he went to his eldest son's house to rest for two days and visit Xiao Haizao by the way.

Speaking of which, the grandfather and grandson haven't seen each other for more than two years.

Of course, it was not to save travel expenses.

The main reason is that there have been floods everywhere in the past two years, transportation is inconvenient, and there is a super flu outbreak in the Philippines. For safety reasons, we can only choose to celebrate the New Year in the same place.

On the way home, the father and son chatted about family matters.

After a brief greeting, Dabao went straight to the point:

"Dad, are you really going to retire early?"

Xu Dong nodded and couldn't help but joked: "Why, are you afraid?"

"Well, I'm not afraid, it's mainly because I'm unsure..."

"What are you afraid of? The chairman's job is much easier than your department manager. You have done well in these years and you are definitely competent. Don't worry."

"I had planned it all. I plan to go back to Sydney this year and learn from you for another two years."

Dabao replied.

"Don't be so troublesome. Just call me if you have something. Even if Dad retires, I can still teach you."

Xu Dong waved his hand.

Dabao breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject:

"Dad, do you think the board of directors will agree to my taking over?"

Three years ago, in order to go public, Nanfei's subsidiary was reorganized into Nanfei Hi-Tech Group. Their family is currently the largest individual shareholder, holding 21% of the shares.

"Don't worry." Xu Dong quickly comforted, "Our family's shares, plus those of the Nanfei Chamber of Commerce, plus those of the Nisang Chamber of Commerce, are already more than half."

"Dad, Chairman Liu and his men will definitely stand on our side, but it's not certain for the Nisang Chamber of Commerce. They have been doing very well in recent years, and I'm afraid they will secretly interfere."

Xu Dong frowned: "Have you heard any rumors?"

"I did hear some. The Nisang Chamber of Commerce has been very close to the Babylonians in recent years. If the two sides unite and win over some major shareholders..."

"Impossible." Xu Dong interrupted immediately, "Even if they unite, the shares are far from enough, and the higher-ups will not allow the group to fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Dad, I'm not exaggerating. This matter really needs to be prevented. After all..."

"After all what? Don't keep me in suspense."

"I also heard from others that the Nisang Chamber of Commerce seems to have a grudge against our family."

"What's the reason?" Xu Dong asked.

"Dad, you forgot that for the first phase of the project, the Nisang Chamber of Commerce lent you hundreds of billions of start-up capital.

As a result, not only did they not get any shares, but they didn't even receive a dime of interest.

Look at the current market value of the group. If it were you, would you be willing to accept it?"

Dabao reminded him quickly.

Since its listing, the Xinke Group has been riding on the favorable wind of foreign trade, and its stock price has been rising steadily. Today, its market value has exceeded 3 trillion yuan.

His father's wealth has also exceeded 500 billion yuan in one fell swoop. If the dividends from the donated shares are included, it is estimated that it has already exceeded 600 billion yuan.

Xu Dong patted his thigh: "You are wrong, they didn't lend me money, they lent it to Xinke Haizao, otherwise I wouldn't have such a small share.

Besides, they begged me for a loan to develop the industrial zone. Now that the industrial zone has developed, it should be a win-win situation."

"Dad, don't be fooled by the Nisang people. I have dealt with them a lot over the years. These people look gentle on the surface, but they are actually very narrow-minded and like to hold grudges."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Dabao whispered back: "I found that there is a phenomenon of labor abuse in the Nisang factory, and many people have died."

"Labor abuse? Aren't they afraid of being investigated?"

Xu Dong was shocked.

"They abuse foreign workers, most of whom are from Europe. You know the European Union, they are so poor that a life is only 100,000 yuan at most."

Dabao couldn't help but sigh.

After so many years of development, although the European Union has achieved a lot of results, due to the plight of poverty in the country, the living standards have not improved much.

It is only a little better than the Indians.

"They are fine, why do they abuse workers?"

"Because the Neon people have a bad reputation in the Philippines. In order to save costs, they like to exploit workers and often deduct their wages, which has caused a lot of criticism.

Although those foreign workers dare not resign, they can't do without verbal attacks. They privately make up all kinds of Neon people, and the two sides have accumulated a lot of conflicts."

Dabao answered patiently.

Xu Dong nodded in understanding. This is indeed in line with the character of Neon people.

With the marginal status of Neon people today, they can only occupy a small piece of land in the growing system of Asia Mutual if they grow bigger and stronger quickly.

Time waits for no one!
