Chapter 310 Confrontation (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone)
The next day, just as Gu Chen was about to leave work, the phone rang.

Gu Chen took it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and it was a phone number from Shanghai.

Gu Chen suddenly thought of what Mr. Duan Zhiyi of Dinggua Company said yesterday, and immediately guessed that this call might be from Li Xingzhou, CEO of Hanhai Group.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, and then connected the phone: "Hello, hello."

Then, an angry voice came out from inside: "Is this Mr. Gu from Qingchen Group? I'm Li Xingzhou from Hanhai Group."

Gu Chen thought it was indeed Li Xingzhou, and then said calmly: "Haha, Hello, Mr. Li. I am Gu Chen. I am very glad that Mr. Li can call me. I admire Mr. Li's achievements in Hanhai Group Very good."

Li Xingzhou laughed: "Mr. Gu is over the award. I am just a migrant worker. What can I achieve? Moreover, the performance of Hanhai Group has declined severely in recent years. I have been criticized by the outside world."

Gu Chen said lightly: "In fact, everyone knows the deep-seated reason, and it's not your reason at all, so don't belittle yourself, Mr. Li. I'm more straightforward when I speak, so I want to invite you to Qingxi Village as a guest and have a face-to-face chat. I wonder if Mr. Li is interested?"

"Since Mr. Gu invited me, I'm not going to be polite. I've been a little tired recently, so let's take it easy. I'll make some arrangements here, and I'll fly to Rongzhou the day after tomorrow. I look forward to meeting Mr. Gu." Li Xingzhou readily agreed Gu Chen's request.

Gu Chen also smiled and said: "Haha, I am also very much looking forward to the meeting with Mr. Li. By the way, Mr. Li will send the flight information to my mobile phone later, and I will go to Rongzhou to pick you up in person."

"How dare you bother Mr. Gu to pick him up in person, you can just arrange for someone to come over." Li Xingzhou over there was a little flattered when he heard that Gu Chen was going to pick him up in person.

Gu Chen laughed: "It's okay, I just have to go to the city to do something later, so I just drop in."

Li Xingzhou knew that this was just Gu Chen's excuse, and he was a little moved in his heart, and couldn't help but said, "Um...that's fine."

Gu Chen said: "Mr. Li, you don't have to be polite, by the way, you can increase my prestige, and you can talk about things later."

"Okay." Li Xingzhou said.

Shanghai, Hanhai Group headquarters building, 37th floor.

Li Xingzhou who hung up the phone was stunned, thinking of Gu Chen's enthusiasm, he was also a little excited.

Regarding Gu Chen's Qingchen Group, he also learned from the Internet that it is an agricultural group with great potential, and it can be said to be much better than the Hanhai Group, which is already a bit late.

Qingchen Group's products have no rivals in the market at all, relying entirely on cross-level advanced technology, the peers are simply defeated in front of Qingchen Group.

For Li Xingzhou, it is not difficult to work in such a company.And according to friends, Gu Chen's background is also very deep, and he has a very good relationship with the Xu family of Tianxia Group, as well as the Zhang family and Zhang family of Yanjing.

As long as there are no major problems, Qingchen Group will have no difficulty in developing.And from the fact that Qingchen Group easily spent 20 billion to build the headquarters building, we can know that Qingchen Group is not short of money at all.

It's just that Li Xingzhou doesn't know what the development direction of Qingchen Group is in the future. Besides Qingchen vegetables, agarwood roast chicken, and Binhu old wine, what other projects does Gu Chen have?

Since his friend told him about Gu Chen's invitation in the morning, Li Xingzhou has been very interested in taking charge of the Qingchen Group.

After all, Qingchen Group has just been established, and urgently needs a general manager to set up the group and complete the initial development of the group.Gu Chen is just a young man who has just graduated a few years ago. He may be very good technically, but he must be far behind in organizational management.This is probably the reason why Gu Chen urgently needs a CEO, and Li Xingzhou can be said to meet this requirement very well.

In addition, the current Hanhai Group is a quagmire. If Li Xingzhou and Wu Bingjiang continue to stand in a stalemate, the Hanhai Group may collapse immediately.

Therefore, Li Xingzhou's idea is to leave the Hanhai Group as soon as possible. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he is not willing to give up.

But with my own [-]% of the shares, this problem is a bit difficult to handle.

The current Hanhai Group simply does not have the ability to pay itself billions of dollars, so it is still somewhat impossible to exchange this share for funds.If it is sold to other companies, but the current situation of Hanhai Group is so bad, there are probably very few people willing to take over.If Li Xingzhou sells it at a discount, it may be a bit of a loss, and Li Xingzhou is a little reluctant.

But if he watched the Hanhai Group continue, maybe the 5.00% shares would shrink a lot in the end, which was not what he wanted.

"Hey, I can only talk to Wu Bingjiang about the conditions first. On the condition that I leave Hanhai and don't take away most of the core employees, let Wu Bingjiang invest in the purchase of my shares. In this way, I can get a lot of money , to invest in other projects.”

In this situation, Li Xingzhou can only negotiate with Wu Bingjiang in this way, hoping to get some funds. If not, the high-quality assets under the Hanhai Group are also possible.

As long as the company is brought over and separated from the Hanhai Group, it will be no problem to develop with Li Xingzhou's ability.

Of course, it would be better if it can be exchanged for funds. On the one hand, it is to prevent the depreciation of the shares of Hanhai Group, and on the other hand, I want to rely on these funds to invest in the industries under Gu Chen, so that my position will be more stable.

After thinking it over clearly, Li Xingzhou made a phone call directly: "Su Tong, help me book a ticket to Rongzhou the day after tomorrow."

……

In the evening, Gu Chen received the ticket information from Li Xingzhou in Weixin, showing that he will arrive at Rongzhou Airport at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.

For Li Xingzhou's arrival, Gu Chen did not deliberately prepare anything, but decided to talk about the situation of Qingchen Group and future development plans in detail during the meeting.I believe that after Gu Chen said it, there is a high probability that Li Xingzhou will agree to Gu Chen's request and become the first CEO of Qingchen Group.

On the morning of the 22nd, Wu Jun drove Gu Chen directly to Rongzhou Airport, and then the two went to the pick-up gate, waiting for Li Xingzhou who came from afar.

At [-]:[-], Li Xingzhou's flight landed, and Gu Chen saw Li Xingzhou at the exit more than ten minutes later.

Li Xingzhou is in his 40s, less than 1.7 meters tall, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, looking like he is on vacation, and wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Gu Chen was wearing shorts and sandals, a very casual attire, which surprised Li Xingzhou opposite.

The meeting between the two took place in such an atmosphere, no matter their age or temperament, they were quite surprised.

"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect you to be so free and easy?" Looking at Gu Chen's clothes, Li Xingzhou was a little speechless.

Well, in his opinion, he can only use this word to describe it.

Gu Chen laughed: "Mr. Li, our company is not one of the top office buildings in Shanghai, and the rules are not so strict. Therefore, in terms of clothing, employees can wear whatever they want, as long as they are comfortable. Of course, my boss is more An exception. On this hot day, only shorts and sandals are the coolest. You don't mind, do you?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said: "Of course I won't. In fact, I also think that it doesn't matter what I wear, as long as I do things well, doesn't it?"

Gu Chen nodded fiercely: "That's right, I think so too, as long as the work is completed on time, it doesn't matter what you wear. Mr. Li, please, let's go to Ningqing for lunch first, about 10:[-] minutes away."

Li Xingzhou nodded: "No problem, just follow Mr. Gu's arrangement. I'm here for vacation, and I've heard about the name of Qingxi Village a long time ago. Now I have the opportunity to take a look. Thank you Mr. Gu for giving me this opportunity."

Gu Chen said with a smile: "The current facilities in Qingxi Village are not very complete. If you come next year, you will definitely see a different Qingxi Village. But it's not bad now. Biqing Peak is no better than Rongzhou's bamboo sea, stone Haicha."

Li Xingzhou also laughed: "I heard that Mr. Gu has invested heavily in the tourism development of Qingxi Village. I believe that with the construction of the scenic spot, the tourism industry of Qingxi Village will definitely develop rapidly."

Gu Chen smiled and said: "That's for sure. In fact, there are still many things that the outside world doesn't know. If Mr. Li can come to Qingchen Group, he will definitely know a lot of things."

Along the way, Gu Chen and Li Xingzhou just chatted casually without getting into specific matters, which made Li Xingzhou on the opposite side very satisfied.

In the past, Li Xingzhou thought that Gu Chen had achieved such a great achievement at such a young age, so he must have been a little arrogant.

But after chatting with Gu Chen, he found that Gu Chen was very humble, and at the same time very knowledgeable, and he was very surprised that many topics were clear.

In his opinion, Gu Chen is less than 30 years old and can have such a good planting technology. He probably spends in the experimental field every day, but what he didn't expect is that Gu Chen has a very broad understanding of other aspects, and he communicated with himself. There is no pressure at all, and sometimes Li Xingzhou, an old man in the mall, is a little touched by the opinions he puts forward.

He didn't know that since Gu Chen took low-level genetic optimization, his thinking, memory, and reaction have all increased a lot, and the books he read now can fill a room.

At this moment, Li Xingzhou had no choice but to lament that Gu Chen can achieve such a great achievement, he really cannot be regarded as an ordinary genius, such a person is simply a monster.

Regarding whether to work in Qingchen Group, Li Xingzhou is slowly leaning towards this side at this time.

Of course, Gu Chen didn't know about the change in Li Xingzhou's attitude, but he was always confident that Li Xingzhou couldn't escape.

At noon, Gu Chen hosted Li Xingzhou at a well-known private kitchen. Of course, because Li Xingzhou is not very good at spicy food, he ordered non-spicy dishes.

After the meal, without stopping too much, Gu Chen directly brought Li Xingzhou to Qingxi Village.

Along the way, the good traffic and the beautiful natural environment around him also relieved Li Xingzhou's previously depressed mood.

Looking at the endless stretches of green hills, Li Xingzhou said in a relaxed mood: "As expected of a famous mountain in Bashu, the natural scenery of Daqingshan is indeed unique."

Gu Chen nodded: "In the past, the traffic was inconvenient, so many outsiders didn't know that the scenery of Daqingshan is not much worse than other scenic spots in the province. That's why I want to vigorously develop the tourism industry of Qingxi Village, and drive the entire Daqingshan. With the development of tourism, I believe that with the establishment of the scenic spot, the whole of Ningqing will benefit from it."

Of course, Li Xingzhou knew that Gu Chen had invested more than one billion in the development of tourism in Qingxi Village.

I also appreciate Gu Chen's courage in developing his hometown, but like everyone else, he also has some doubts.

So I asked: "Mr. Gu, to be honest. I know that your idea of ​​developing your hometown is good, but I didn't expect it to be so bold. The investment in Qingxi Riverside Fengqing Street and Qingchen Holiday Villa alone is a lot of money. It’s no less than one billion, and there are hundreds of millions from the tourism development company. They even invested tens of millions to build fast lanes in order to shorten the traffic. But to be honest, even if it becomes a nationally famous 5A-level scenic spot, the short-term income It can’t reach the level of hundreds of millions or even more than one billion. You must know that many scenic spots have gradually developed step by step before reaching the scale of billions of income this year, so I think Qingxi Village is nothing It's all done, and it won't be able to reach this point in the short term. And I see what you mean, Mr. Gu, in the early days, Qingxi Village won't charge tickets at all, right?"

Gu Chen nodded and said: "Mr. Li is right. In the early days, in order to increase the influence of the scenic spot, tickets must not be collected. So the income of the scenic spot is the consumption of tourists for accommodation, catering, shopping, and entertainment. Compared with other scenic spots, the ticket revenue alone is hundreds of millions, and billions are incomparable.

But Mr. Li, don't forget that our Qingxi Village has many features that other scenic spots do not have, such as the Tianhou ruins, which must be charged.There is also Qingchen vegetables, which are well-known all over the country. After tourists come, they will definitely want to buy some to eat for themselves.Moreover, the price of Qingchen vegetables is not comparable to ordinary vegetables, and it is very normal to buy one or two hundred at a time.In addition, there are mutant mosquito repellents. I think every tourist who comes to Qingxi Village wants to bring a few pots back. If I let go of the restrictions and provide [-] pots a day, the income will be greatly increased.The annual income is also hundreds of millions.

And eating in Qingxi Village, if it is Qingchen vegetables, then the cost of eating here for two days will be at least one or two thousand.There is also the magical canopy of the Qingxi Riverside Street that is under construction. The investment for this alone has reached 8 million yuan. I think this will definitely attract many tourists to visit.And I still have a lot of amazing things here, next year it is guaranteed that tourists will flock here, and it is optimistic that the annual number of tourists will reach tens of millions, and there is no problem.

If the number of tourists reaches tens of millions, even if each person spends about 20 yuan per person in the scenic spot, that is an income of 50 billion yuan.But is it possible to spend only 30 yuan? The cost of lodging alone is more than [-] yuan. If you add shopping, entertainment, and meals, I estimate that the average cost will reach about [-] yuan.In this way, even if there are tens of millions of tourists, the annual tourism revenue will reach [-] billion.And I only invested two or three billion yuan, maybe within three to five years, I can fully recover the cost, and I will make money in the next few decades. "

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Li Xingzhou couldn't believe it, feeling that Gu Chen's expectations were too high.

"Ten million, Mr. Gu's expectations are too high! As far as I know, in 2016, the number of tourists in scenic spots across the country exceeded 5000 million, only Taihu Lake, and there were only seven scenic spots with more than 3000 million tourists. There are not many. Mr. Gu thinks it will exceed [-] million next year, which I think is simply impossible."

Gu Chen was noncommittal: "Well, since Mr. Li doesn't believe it, let's wait and see. After watching other projects, I hope Mr. Li can maintain the status quo."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen still smiled mysteriously, making Li Xingzhou a little puzzled.

Immediately, Li Xingzhou was a little puzzled, and asked inexplicably: "Is there any special project in Mr. Gu's hands to make Qingxi Village's tourism develop by leaps and bounds? But I think Rongzhou Airport is still too far away from Qingxi Village." It is far away, and it is still very inconvenient for tourists. If an airport can be built directly in Ningqing, the tourist environment of Qingxi Village will be greatly changed."

Gu Chen was taken aback, and smiled wryly: "Mr. Li, it is not a simple matter to build an airport. Not to mention the huge investment, the time is also very long. Without five years, it is impossible to build this airport."

"However, if Qingxi Village's tourism wants to develop into a world-famous one, this airport is a must. If it's only famous in China, it can be slowed down."

Of course Li Xingzhou knew that the airport would be difficult to build, but he said it anyway.

Gu Chen nodded: "I know what you said, but under the current situation, the airport can only come slowly. If the number of tourists in Qingxi Village can reach [-] million next year, then the proposal to build the airport should be submitted. It is likely to be approved."
