Chapter 2230
Shift in Development Focus
During this period, He Yuzhu has been busy with his own work, in addition to cooperating with the city government.
They also reflected on their actions.
He's had it too easy these past few years.
He got so carried away that he became arrogant, so carried away that he actually believed the world could operate according to his will.
Lou Xiao'e is now a billionaire.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will become one of the most prominent conglomerates in Asia.
The kind of wealth that can last for three generations or more.
But frankly speaking, Lou Xiao'e's wealth was actually based on a very shallow foundation.
Let alone comparing them to the top Hong Kong families like the HUO family, even compared to Mr. Chen whom I met a few days ago, their background is still a bit shallow.
They've been running this business for two or three generations in Malaysia and throughout Southeast Asia.
The foundation is already quite solid.
So when Xiaoqian came over this time, He Yuzhu treated her very kindly.
It wasn't because the girl respected him, but because He Xinghua also liked her.
Rather, he truly understood that Lou Xiao'e's business needed such a marriage alliance.
This is also He Yuzhu's compromise with reality.
What else can we do?
Given He Yuzhu's insight, the trust that Lou Xiao'e and her son had in him, and his ability to execute orders.
He Yuzhu is confident that he can make He Xinghua the world's richest man within the next twenty years.
But so what?
Having money without the corresponding voice is nothing more than a delicious delicacy on someone else's chopping block.
Just like the Hunt brothers who invested in silver this time, they are top oil tycoons in Armenia.
As a result, a single announcement from the London Stock Exchange raising investment margin requirements led to the bankruptcy of the Hunt brothers, billionaires in the process.
He Yuzhu believes that the Hunt brothers must have financial backing.
This recent surge in silver prices is, frankly speaking, a battle between capital players.
The results are obvious.
The new capital led by the Hunt brothers can be easily manipulated by established capital such as the gold exchange, which holds the power of discourse.
In other words, the Hunt brothers originally wanted to challenge the rules and gain control of the discourse.
But he was slapped to death.
It's that simple.
Therefore, to survive in this jungle where the strong rule, one must...
Being low-key, and even more low-key, is the choice that ordinary families should make.
At He Yuzhu's suggestion, the production of security doors was divided into three parts.
Tianjin, a small southern city, and Shanghai each received a portion of the orders.
This time, He Yuzhu didn't take Sijiucheng out for a trip.
The reason is quite valid; even if he leaves the orders in Beijing, transportation costs will be a major problem.
Of course, the city government will definitely get some benefits in the allocation of foreign exchange, but that has nothing to do with Ho Yu-chu.
As long as He Yuzhu ensures that his college's interests are not harmed, that's enough for him.
There's a reason for this arrangement, of course.
For example, in that factory in the small southern town, the CNC academy collaborated with a local collectively owned wrought iron factory.
It probably absorbed several small street factories, such as some woodworking workshops.
There are currently over three hundred people.
He Yuzhu is quite unreasonable on this matter.
He absolutely refused to relinquish management and operational rights.
The local government only has the right to receive dividends and the right to supervise.
The key is this supervisory power. If a problem is discovered, it can only be reported to the School of CNC. The final decision-making power is still in He Yuzhu's hands.
This kind of operation definitely wouldn't work for a factory jointly owned by a private and a public entity. But the CNC academy is also a collective entity, and He Yuzhu can place the factory in a small southern city or somewhere else.
The current strategy involves He Yuzhu transferring some production tasks to a small southern city to help them revitalize some non-performing assets.
With this cooperative relationship established, He Yuzhu naturally prioritized orders from that side in the future.
Of course, He Yuzhu could also play it another way.
With these orders in hand, he could request funding from higher authorities to establish a door manufacturing factory entirely controlled by the CNC academy.
But there are problems here too. Whoever's money you take, you're bound to be under their control.
If the city government provides him with this money, then He Yuzhu will have to listen to the city government of Sijiu City.
After comparing the two options, He Yuzhu still preferred to cooperate with the small southern town.
At least in terms of location matching, He Yuzhu, as an investor and the client who controls the sales channels, can have absolute dominance in that small southern city.
However, if they cooperate with the city government, He Yuzhu would be in a weaker position, essentially subordinate...
In fact, everything involves exchange.
He Yuzhu promised the municipal government that he would persuade the leaders of those small specialized factories to genuinely cooperate with the reform of the "City Investment" company.
In this respect, He Yuzhu did not betray his allies.
The trend is irreversible.
The leaders of the various specialized factories, constrained by the rules of collective enterprises, dared not venture out.
Joining the 'city investment' system now and fully cooperating with its work will maximize the interests of each factory.
At least those factories in the south, if they develop well, will be able to distribute dividends year after year for each of their smaller, specialized factories.
It's better than being inexplicably merged into another factory.
Then all the small, specialized factories in Beijing got nothing.
The development of physical industry and commerce in Beijing has always been inherently disadvantageous.
There are many mothers-in-law, many rules, and it's not cost-effective.
It's no wonder that this place later became an education center, a financial center, and a research and development center.
Because we can't do anything else here.
The city government was willing to forgo orders worth tens of millions of dollars.
It was also because some people realized that the industry in Beijing had truly fallen into a bottleneck period.
The factory developed after a major construction project following the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Many of these things have now become a burden on Beijing.
Aging factory machinery, retiring employees, environmental pollution...
These matters consumed most of the city government's energy.
Therefore, the heavy industrial megacity that was originally intended to be built when the country was founded now seems to have to undergo transformation.
The commercial construction company that ran Nanluoguxiang was essentially taking over the idle warehouses and storefronts of various street factories and managing them in a unified manner.
In retrospect, it has worked very well.
According to some economic experts, urban investment companies are also the right direction for future development.
To put it simply, it means that factories and enterprises are relocating to surrounding areas.
Ordinary workers also migrate to surrounding cities or switch to service industries to alleviate the urban burden on Beijing.
How can we prevent damage to collective interests during this period?
The development model of urban investment companies should be appropriate.
If this model can be successfully promoted, Beijing will surely usher in a new era of development.
This is also why the city government is so generous.
As for why He Yuzhu wanted to share the profits with Shanghai, there are explanations for that.
Isn't Lao Niu going to Shanghai later?
He Yuzhu should make a good impression first, so that he won't be too ostracized by the Shanghai business community in the future.
Not only him, but Lou Xiao'e has also recently started making moves in Shanghai.
Without realizing it, the couple gradually shifted the focus of their business development to the south. (End of Chapter)
