The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 421 The Covenant
"This hotel belongs to you?" Liu Xiaoli was startled at first, and then said quickly, "Are you Chen Zhiwen?"

"Guess right." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, it is impossible to keep his identity hidden all the time, he is not interested in acting in an idol drama that conceals his identity in the early stage, he just admits it if he has to.

The value of a man lies not only in his appearance and height, but also in his career, which is his greatest charm. When it is time to show off, you should naturally show it off. In those idol dramas, the domineering president or the rich man hides his identity to find Cinderella, which is purely to satisfy the fantasy of the female hanging silk. , and the immortal love between the scholar and the fairy written by the ancient scholar is a bird-like purpose.

Of course, women are not limited to appearance and figure, but more importantly, cultural literacy, conversation and so on.

Besides, at the moment, he is so famous that almost overseas Chinese know it, even in China, as long as there is a little channel, not just working in the countryside, you should basically have heard of his name.

"Really?" Liu Xiaoli still couldn't believe it.

"It's not easy to prove. How about you go to Hong Kong with me, and I can prove it to you!" Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said. Plant something, but you can't take it out at will.

"Ah, forget it, I believe you." Liu Xiaoli didn't seem to have fully reacted.

"It doesn't really matter who is who. We all have two eyes and one nose. In fact, there is no big difference." Chen Zhiwen smiled, then took out a beautifully packaged box and said, "This is the first gift I have given to you. It’s a gift, open it and take a look!”

"No need! I shouldn't accept gifts casually." Liu Xiaoli said with a quick wave of her hand.

"It's not something precious, it's fine." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. The current domestic habits are still quite resistant to receiving gifts, which may also be related to the previous culture. There is no foreign debt or domestic debt at all, and the development is entirely on its own. The result of this is that the economic development is very slow. After the reform, it began to borrow money from overseas for development. However, it is also relatively conservative, and the control of the debt ratio is very strict. For example, the European nouveau riche France once boasted that it could borrow 50 billion US dollars from the mainland, but it was rejected by the mainland government because it was too much.

However, this is also beneficial, avoiding a sovereign crisis similar to the current outbreak in South America.

This is the case at the national level. They don't accept the benefits from outsiders very much, and the domestic people are naturally the same. They don't borrow much money, and they don't receive any benefits, etc., at least most of them are like this.Those who can let go of the courage to develop in debt will become rich in the future.

Hearing that it was not an expensive gift, Liu Xiaoli took it and opened it, only to see a beautiful emerald green pebble placed in the center of the black gift box.

"Is this jadeite?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Yes, there is a necklace next to it. You can wear it when you need it, and put it away if you don't need it." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"Is it possible that this is not expensive?" Liu Xiaoli asked again.

"It's not expensive, don't worry, but most people can't tell the difference, you still have to pay attention to safety on weekdays." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

It’s really not very expensive. I bought it at a shop in Hong Kong before, it cost several thousand Hong Kong dollars. It’s purely because I like the shape, so I bought it. With his current net worth, it costs several thousand or tens of millions. The gifts are the same, but if they are in the Mainland, they may be worth more.

But it’s not necessarily true. Unlike gold, emeralds and diamonds may be very expensive when you buy them, but you may have to discount them when you sell them. Unless some high-end diamonds have ID certification, the price can be kept.

Giving someone a gift is not about the more expensive the better, just the right one. Those who hang silk like to give the most expensive gift to the goddess in their hearts, and then eat pickles by themselves. Those who are really not bad for money just choose the right one. .

Seeing Liu Xiaoli still playing with the jade, Chen Zhiwen said again: "Why don't you put it on now?"

"Ah? Now?" Liu Xiaoli was taken aback.

"Give it to me." Chen Zhiwen took the jadeite necklace without giving the other party a chance to object, then walked behind Liu Xiaoli, and put it on for her.

"Thank you." Liu Xiaoli said with a slightly red face.

"You're welcome." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

At this moment, the hotel also served steaks, and a waitress was also beside her. She opened the oil-stopping paper and covered the space between the steaks and the guests. After a while, the oil under the steaks stopped boiling.

After the waiter left, Chen Zhiwen picked up the knife and fork and said, "Just follow me and learn. This is Wagyu beef from Japan. It is the highest-grade beef in the world and it tastes very good."

"Okay." Liu Xiaoli is also very interested in the delicious food in front of her. Who doesn't like delicious food?

After taking a bite, Liu Xiaoli said: "This tastes much better than the beef I have eaten before."

"Of course, this is one of Japan's national treasures. This kind of Wagyu is not allowed to be exported alive. Otherwise, I will raise this kind of cattle on my ranch in the United States." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. .

Japanese Wagyu beef was bred in the 50s. It may have been lucky. The fat and muscle of this beef look like marble, which is very pleasing, and the fat structure leads to a very good taste. Therefore, Protected by the Japanese government, live cattle are not allowed to be exported, only wagyu beef is exported.Japan itself does not have much land to raise cattle, and the number of new breeds is small at the beginning. Therefore, Wagyu has become a luxury item in steak ingredients. The price is very expensive, dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive than later generations, and there is no wealth. I really hate to eat it.

It wasn't until the end of the 80s that the Australian government introduced wagyu into the country after years of hard work, and then went to Canada and the United States. Since then, the price of wagyu has plummeted. Although it is still an expensive ingredient, it is not a very top luxury.

If there is a chance, it would be a very good opportunity if one’s own farm can introduce wagyu beef in the future, which is equivalent to making industrial products with higher profits in the industrial industry. However, Little Japan wants to ensure high-end profits, and it is estimated that there will be some opportunities for these. limit.

"Do you still have a farm overseas?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Yes, it's a very big one, almost more than 2000 square kilometers. You can think of it as a rectangle, with the length and width being 50 and 60 kilometers respectively." Chen Zhiwen said.

"So big?" Liu Xiaoli said in surprise. She knew that Chen Zhiwen was rich, so it was understandable to say that there were many buildings in Hong Kong, but such a large area of ​​farmland really surprised her.

"In the future, if you have free time, you can go to play. There are mountains and water, and there are all kinds of wild animals, such as deer, mink, rabbit, fox, wild wolf, wild boar, waterfowl, etc. There are thousands of wild animals. Especially in autumn, a species of white cranes will gather on a large scale, hundreds of thousands of them, they will fish and drink in my lake during the day, and they will leave in the evening, no matter when they come or take off, the scene is very spectacular.” Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

As for large farms, if the previous people have already developed them, then after Chen Zhiwen takes over, they can naturally continue to plant crops or raise livestock, but if they have not been developed, they will remain the same.

For an uncultivated land, if you want to grow food on a large scale, it requires a huge amount of investment. From the perspective of income, after the investment is completed, you can earn back the cost in the long run, but the efficiency is too low. Chen Zhiwen casually It is much more cost-effective to invest with your eyes closed. Therefore, the current acquisition of farms is purely based on income. If you have guaranteed development rights and water rights, you can just buy them. Wild areas should remain wild and continue to be maintained. Just go down, and later, when you have a lot of cash in your hands, you can develop these lands.

For example, we have recently purchased a large amount of land near the Amazon forest with Argentina. The area is much larger than that of Wagner Farm. If you want to convert this large rainforest into a farm, the investment will be much more expensive than buying land. Therefore, all maintenance As it turned out, the purpose now is to take advantage of the difficult economic times in South American countries to acquire more land with permanent property rights. Otherwise, if you have money in the future, you can only buy a 99-year lease.Because after the 90s, many countries in South America will start to change the previous policy of permanent land sale. At first, it will be changed to a 999-year lease, and later it will be changed to 99 years. Once that time comes, there will be no more permanent rights. , so now is the best and last time to buy.

Although there is no development, these places must be good places for tourism and vacation. Even some large carnivores that may be harmful to humans have been driven away by professional teams. It can be said that they are the best places for the Chen family to vacation.

"Sounds very good." Liu Xiaoli nodded and said.

"Of course, you'll know when you go." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Afterwards, the two casually chatted about various interesting things at home and abroad, and then they talked about the fact that the Hankou Opera House came to compete for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

"How sure are you?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Although I am very confident in myself, the opera houses in Shanghai, Guangdong, and Yanjing are also very strong, and you know that some things may not only depend on strength, especially if everyone's ability level is different. Around the same time." Liu Xiaoli said.

"That's right, it's a bit difficult, but as I said yesterday, if CCTV is not selected, then go to Hong Kong. The audience in Hong Kong is actually no less than that in the Mainland, at least for now." Chen Zhiwen said.

It is true that there are many people in the mainland, but it is hard to say how many TVs there are. It may not be comparable to the number of people covered by Hong Kong + Macau + future satellite TV.

"Then if we fail in CCTV's selection, let's think about it again." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

……

After the two finished eating, Chen Zhiwen drove Liu Xiaoli back to their hostel again, and also got the public phone of the Hankou City Opera House, as she didn't have a phone at home.

After returning to his hotel, Chen Zhiwen called Midea's resident person in charge in Yanjing City and asked: "The [-]-port switch we built in China is now in mass production, right?"

As early as after the re-opening, Chen Zhiwen arranged for Midea and several universities in Yanjing to jointly develop high-end telephone port switches. Later, some results were achieved. Chen Zhiwen remembered that mass production had already begun, but because the investment scale was not too large, he Did not pay attention to the specific situation.

For domestic telephones, the current installation fee alone costs several thousand. The fundamental reason is that a large number of imported switches need to be purchased from overseas. If you don’t have the technology, you will naturally be ripped off. This will naturally lead to higher domestic telephone installation fees. The prices are extremely high, much higher than those in Hong Kong. Even Uncle Chen Zhiwen’s family had to spend US dollars to buy the goods.

"Yes, Chen Sheng, but the current production capacity is limited, and it will take some time for mass production." The visitor said.

"If the production capacity is not enough, we will first arrange to go to Hankou City for large-scale installation testing. We have to choose a place for testing no matter what." Chen Zhiwen added.This can be said to be one of the greatest benefits of conducting research and development in the Mainland. It can be directly tested on the market, which is impossible in foreign countries.

"Hankou? Okay." Although the visitor didn't know why, he still agreed. The boss's order doesn't mean that you can't ask why, but only the top management is qualified to ask.

Afterwards, Chen Zhiwen met a senior employee of Red Bull who is currently in contact with CCTV, and said, "I prefer the Yanjing Opera House. You can tell CCTV that during the Spring Festival Gala, I can buy the advertisement after their program."

"Yanjing Opera House?" The staff of Red Bull was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, saying, "Okay, Chen Sheng, I'll go and handle this right away."
