Chapter 137 Thoughts
The early summer sun shines on the ancient city walls with a different luster, which looks old and dilapidated from a distance. The walls of the ancient city of Xi'an have not been repaired for a long time, and their vicissitudes are undoubtedly revealed. At this time, two temporarily new cars drove into the city gate. The sentry standing guard checked the pass and released respectfully.
As soon as the subordinates reported, Yang Hucheng stood in front of the office and waited quietly. It was not difficult to see from his face that the status and status of the guests he was greeting was enough to explain the problem. At present, the business in Xi'an City is very active. Since he took office in Shanxi, especially as the chairman of Shaanxi Province, he saw that the trend of improvising business activities in Xi'an was very enthusiastic, and he was ready to move.
When he learned that Wang Debiao was in Baoji and had gained a lot of money, he was even more anxious, so he invited Wang Debiao to Xi'an to discuss. The two cars were parked in front of the door. Yang Hucheng was a little jealous when he saw Wang Debiao, "Mr. Wang is worthy of being rich and powerful, I am really envious!" Wang Debiao said: "Brother, you are the victorious army. Now that you are back in your hometown, I am the one you should envy!"
Yang Hucheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm smart! I don't hurt my muscles or bones, sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and enjoy the fruit of victory. I'm convinced that I have such a strategic vision, so don't laugh at me." Wang Debiao said boldly: "Brother, I can't help but be in the world. I know your thoughts. Brothers came this time, first, thank you for your kindness, and second, I'll give you two cars to me to give you cousins. Please accept it with a smile."
Yang Hucheng was overjoyed and said, "It's rare to be a brother, so Yang is very grateful." Then Yang Hucheng and Wang Debiao continued to get into the car and drove to one of the most famous restaurants in Xi'an City. Yang Hucheng specially arranged a welcome banquet for Wang Debiao. After the guests and hosts sat down, Yang Hucheng took out the treasured Fenjiu in Shanxi Xinghua Village and filled the cup with it himself. In an instant, a mellow fragrance of wine was refreshing.
With the stimulation of alcohol, the two sides talked loudly. When they were drinking happily, Yang Hucheng asked: "Brother Wang, you run a large business and build a farm in Baoji. This is a unique vision. I heard that your army, food and quilts can be self-sufficient. No wonder you are so arrogant. You are not controlled by others. It is not something that ordinary people can do. I really want to hide it from you. I have this intention for you, but I don't know where to start. I hope you can give me some advice."
Wang Debiao smiled and said, "Brother has such an idea and my intention. There is no strong economic foundation for the world today as a backing. No matter how strong our military strength is, it is a rootless duck. Besides, you and I are still miscellaneous brands and it is impossible to get normal treatment. Therefore, we must strive for self-improvement. Since the central government calls for the development of the Northwest, we must take the opportunity to become bigger and stronger."
"Oh! Commander Wang has a brilliant plan. Yang is just asking for it. Why don't you tell me it?" Yang Hucheng asked anxiously. Wang Debiao smiled and said, "I am a soldier, how can I know how to run an industry and do business. But I can recommend someone to you." "Who is it?" "This person is Bi Chengen, general manager of Northwest Trading Company."
Yang Hucheng said: "I have heard of this person. His business is spread all over Shaanxi. Could it be you and this person..." Wang Debiao said: "Yes, my source of income is to rely on this person. To be honest, this person is very business-minded, and this person is in Xi'an." Yang Hucheng said impatiently: "I really look for it without searching. It turns out that my God of Wealth is just under my nose. The next day is worse than a day. I beg me to invite this person. How about we drink together?"
Wang Debiao agreed and said, "No problem, but some time ago, Bi Chengen went to Lanzhou. I don't know if he is at home. You are waiting for me to call." After Wang Debiao said that, he got up and left the seat. Yang Hucheng began to think about how to obtain the help of the God of Wealth, how to understand it with reason and emotion, so that the God of Wealth would bleeding.
Bi Chengen returned from Lanzhou for less than two days because this trip to Lanzhou was planned. Lanzhou established a new trader. According to Mu Yaping's instructions, he first started logistics, and then launched a new round of trade activities in Gansu and Qinghai to promote the orderly development of the economy. At present, Bi Chengen has been a heavyweight in the business world in Xi'an and even Shaanxi. Since the completion of the Northwest Textile Factory, its good benefits have prompted Dai Zicheng from Shanghai to increase its investment. Under his leadership, the Shanghai business and industrial circles have all turned their attention to Xi'an. At present, Dai Zicheng has planned to build a flour mill in Xi'an.
Bi Chengen's trading company has received unanimous praise from many merchants with good logistics channels. Almost Shanghai's industrialists and merchants are willing to deal with him. In just a few years, Bi Chengen's trading company has become the largest trading group in the northwest. Due to his advanced business philosophy, every customer has received good returns.
Bi Chengen himself was not idle either. He built many small factories in major towns in Shaanxi, such as match factories, small machinery factories, hardware factories, clothing factories, shoe factories, etc. In short, he has been involved in factories that ordinary people cannot sustain. Because he has strong logistics channels, overall sales are very smooth, and financial resources are rolling in.
Bi Chengen sat in the headquarters of his trading company in Xi'an. As soon as he had finished handling a batch of business, the phone rang suddenly. He picked up the phone and asked, "Who is it?" Wang Debiao said carelessly: "You guy can't hear my voice. Is it because you have changed the cannon and your eyes are high?" Bi Chengen heard who was laughing and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Debiao would also joke. When did you come to Xi'an? Is there something to do with me?"
Wang Debiao said: "I arrived today. To put it simply, the eldest young master asked us to help Yang Hucheng. Now he has a chance. He is interested in doing business and office, so I recommend you. You come to Sihai Restaurant immediately, and we are drinking. But you have to take out something that interests him and strive to get him done."
Bi Chengen dared not neglect. Mu Yaping has notified Bi Chengen to operate the actions of Yang Hucheng and even Shaanxi. At present, Yang Hucheng is the highest official in Shaanxi, and cooperation with him can bring a new situation in Shaanxi's trade. In addition, Yang Hucheng can be tied to the chariot of "economic interests" and make him deeply trapped.
Bi Chengen appeared in front of Yang Hucheng, and Wang Debiao introduced: "Brother, this is Bi Chengen, the general manager of Northwest Trading Company." Bi Chengen clasped his fists and said politely: "Chief Yang, I have long admired Daming. I am very grateful to meet today!" Yang Hucheng said happily: "Brother Bi can come to the party in his busy schedule, and I am disturbed by my brother. I heard from Brother Wang that Mr. Bi is a business genius, so I asked Mr. Bi to come to discuss the economic development plan of Shaanxi. I hope he will give me advice!"
Bi Chengen pretended to be frightened and said, "Captain Yang looked down on me so highly, and he felt very frightened. There is no point in giving advice. Maybe I can help Commander Yang guide him. If there is something wrong, I will be crazy about drinking." Yang Hucheng said overjoyed: "I am very honest. As the saying goes: I drink a thousand cups of wine, but I don't have to say anything more than half a sentence. Come on! Let's drink it."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Bi Chengen's face flushed, and his restraint when he first came was wiped out. Wang Debiao took the opportunity to say, "Brother Bi, Commander Yang is so kind. Don't be pretentious. Pour out all the goods in your stomach to solve the problems of Shaanxi's livelihood development and to acquire wealth for Commander Yang. After all, we all live on this land and bear unshirkable responsibilities."
Bi Chengen pondered for a moment and said, "Chief Yang, I'm sorry to say that it's not a wise move to prepare for the industry yourself. As a parent official in a province, you should look at it from a big perspective. If you want to seek orderly economic development, you must first create a good business environment and focus on developing the commodity economy. Build a nest to attract more businesses to invest and run factories, and increasing taxes is the right way."
Bi Chengen has used it through repeated practice in implementing Mu Yaping's business philosophy in recent years. Perhaps this kid is born with talent in this area, and with Mu Yaping's guidance, his business methods have reached the point of perfection. Just a few words can tell his skills.
Yang Hucheng said happily: "Although what you said is a bit profound, I understand what you mean, you are talking about it in detail." Bi Chengen said: "Chief Yang is in a high position and should coordinate the overall situation. I think the first step is to reduce taxes, which will not only allow more people to do business, but also attract more industrialists to run factories. Simply put, we will introduce preferential policies, recruit talents, and announce to the world."
Yang Hucheng said: "Tax cut? I still can't make ends meet now!" Bi Chengen said: "It may be difficult for the time being. Commander Yang, think about it. On the surface, our individual tax revenue has decreased, but with the development of commerce and industry, our overall tax revenue will increase significantly. I am sure that within two years, our tax revenue will increase exponentially or even dozens of times. In addition, it can solve the employment problems of the people, and the benefits are even more immeasurable. This is called giving first and taking later, but this is just one of them."
Yang Hucheng nodded and asked, "What's the second?" Bi Chengen said, "As the government, we must provide a good business and factory environment. Government agencies must improve service efficiency, resolutely curb corruption among government officials, and at the same time crack down on bullying and domineering the market and local protectionism. Another responsibility of the government is to clear logistics channels, and the circulation of goods is the prerequisite for ensuring the development of commerce. At present, the Longhai Railway has been built to Tongguan. I think Commander Yang should focus on the railway from Tongguan to Xi'an. Once the sea and land channel is unobstructed, it will definitely bring great changes to Shaanxi's economy. There is a saying: Is it worth ten thousand taels of gold when one train is connected?"
Yang Hucheng sighed and said, "I also know the benefits of railways, but I have money in my hands!" Bi Chengen smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Commander Yang, you can still build the railway without spending a penny." "Oh! What do you do?" Bi Chengen smiled and said, "Use private investment, you can use the form of investment. Whoever invests will benefit. The validity period can be stipulated for several years. The government only manages tax revenue, and I can guarantee that those with strength will actively invest. In addition, I can invest 2 million silver dollars in advance to serve as the start-up capital of the Tongguan-Xi'an railway. It will first play an example. What does Chief Yang think?"
Yang Hucheng was overjoyed and said, "Brother Bi is a talented person! I really didn't expect you to be able to develop such clever means. But I am currently unable to make ends meet and finances are very difficult. If the tax cuts will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among all parties, it is difficult to deal with that!" Bi Chengen said confidently: "I have a way to let General Yang get through the predicament for the time being?" "Oh! Please tell me what kind of way!" Yang Hucheng's eyes lit up.
Bi Chengen said confidently: "As long as preferential policies are introduced, with the enthusiasm of business and factory operations, the land in Xi'an and even towns in Shaanxi will become a money cow. Shanxi is doing this at present, and the effect is very good. Therefore, General Yang can merge idle land in various towns, even unimportant government agencies, and then sell them in the form of public auctions. With the development of commerce, the price of land will rise, and this piece of income will be quite expensive."
Yang Hucheng was so happy that he said, "Brother Bi, you are really my God of Wealth. I will announce now that you are my senior consultant, and all measures are completely handled by you..." Yang Hucheng was overly drunk. A telegram flew to Shanxi that day, and the overall economic development strategy of Shaanxi might have worried Mu Yaping again.
