Lieutenant General Ning sighed and said, "You also know that in this generation of the Ning family, there is no one who can take on the responsibility. So Grandpa Ning is selecting suitable people for the new generation. Zhicheng has the ability, but he still lacks some experience. I have read his resume. Although he did a good job in his previous position, he did not have external pressure and strong enough opponents. If he becomes the son-in-law of the Ning family, he will face powerful enemies, and Zang Yi is just one of them. You also know that Zang Yi is not the best of this generation. If he can't get over this hurdle, how can he inherit the resources of the Ning and Su families?"

This generation of Chinese people is indeed full of talented people. Zang Yi is only ranked in the bottom ten of the youth list. The Liao family, the Tang family, the Ye family, the Wang family, etc., all have heroes. Even if he doesn't face Zang Yi now, Fang Zhicheng will always meet elites of his generation in the future. He shoulders the hopes of the Ning and Su families and can only move forward, not backward.

Su Mo nodded and said, "I understand what you mean."

Lieutenant General Ning smiled and said, "I have also paid attention to his layout in Hanzhou. Using the Internet information industry to compete with industrial manufacturing companies is a bit unrealistic and incredible. However, since he has decided to do this, the Ning family will also support it. We plan to set up two research institutes in Xiaguang's industrial base to transform the results of the military's research on the Internet for civilian use in Xiaguang."

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great."

Lieutenant General Ning said: "Actually, you don't have to worry. The two old masters have very sharp eyes. The people they like must have something special."

This conversation with Lieutenant General Ning made Su Mo feel much more relaxed. It can be seen that the Ning family still values Fang Zhicheng very much. In fact, Su Mo didn't know that Fang Zhicheng's information had been on Lieutenant General Ning's desk two or three years ago. Every once in a while, the information would be reviewed by Lieutenant General Ning first, and then handed over to Mr. Ning.

So Lieutenant General Ning knew what kind of person Fang Zhicheng was better than Su Mo.

Fang Zhicheng contributed to Yinzhou's second take-off and Dongtai's transformation from a county to a city. At that time, Fang Zhicheng had almost no support, but he was able to achieve so many results. Now Fang Zhicheng has the support of the Ning and Su families, and even Lieutenant General Ning is looking forward to how far Fang Zhicheng can go in the end.

If it weren't for the Su family, Mr. Ning might still consider bringing Fang Zhicheng into the Ning family.

Lieutenant General Ning knew the old man's thoughts very well. The old man looked through Fang Zhicheng's resume again and again with the eyes of reviewing his grandson-in-law. Fang Zhicheng actually had the blood of the Su family, which was just a catalyst. Without this catalyst, Fang Zhicheng would still be tied to the Ning family.

However, at that time, it might be the second child rather than the third child who was tied up. Family marriages would choose people of equal status. After all, the second child had a marriage experience, which might cause dissatisfaction in the Su family. So the old man finally chose the third child.

Su Mo and Lieutenant General Ning were slightly older than each other. Although they were not in the same compound as General Hu Tong, they had hung out together for a while. Lieutenant General Ning had a very good relationship with his late eldest brother. I remember that at his funeral, Old Ning burst into tears. Therefore, the alliance between the Ning and Su families had a basis.

When it was almost time to get off work, Su Mo received a call from the third brother. His younger brother was always elusive, wandering around everywhere, so it was unprecedented that he could take time out to call him.

"Are you free to have dinner together tonight?" Su Lin said with a smile.

Su Mo had already memorized the schedule for the entire week, but he still scanned it and asked, "What's the matter? It's a little unbelievable that you're treating me to a meal."

Su Lin said: "Nothing, I just want to chat with you."

Su Mo knew that Su Lin would not reveal anything on the phone, so he said, "The time is seven o'clock, right? What's the location?"

Su Lin smiled and said, "I'll pick you up later. Tell the driver to relax today and get off work early."

Su Mo did not appreciate it and said, "No, your car is too eye-catching, I dare not sit in it."

Su Lin sighed and said helplessly: "You are always so old-fashioned. Never mind. I will send the location to your phone later."

Su Mo and Su Lin are from two different worlds. As the saying goes, people with different ideologies cannot work together. No matter what they do, as long as they get together, they will be like a donkey head against a horse, and they will always be at loggerheads.

However, the two brothers had the same intention for dinner tonight. Although it was not stated explicitly on the phone, Su Mo knew that Su Lin wanted to discuss with him about Fang Zhicheng.

I don't know when Fang Zhicheng has become an important topic in the Su family. Although Su Mo doesn't like variables like Fang Zhicheng, he actually makes plans for him most of the time.

Chapter 0719: Resources Coming One After Another

Under the witness of the Xiaguang District Government, Huaying Investment signed a venture capital agreement with Sky Supermarket Network. In fact, this was just a formality. Before signing the agreement, Huaying Investment negotiated with Sky Supermarket Network many times and finally finalized the venture capital plan.

The reason why Xiaguang District still had to come forward was because Sky Supermarket Network also signed an agreement to settle in Xiaguang Internet Information Industry Base. The agreement stated that Sky Supermarket Network would move its headquarters from Qiongjin to Hanzhou, and use the Hanzhou headquarters as the main body of the listing.

The original operating model of Sky Supermarket Network was mainly based on online transactions, with offline shipments by distributors, so Sky Supermarket Network had no control over offline logistics and warehousing. After receiving the US$30 million in funding, Sky Supermarket Network will vigorously develop its own warehousing and distribution channels.

On the one hand, a self-operated warehousing company was established, which built or leased warehouses in Huainan, and at the same time a distribution company was set up to distribute and deliver self-operated goods. This has an advantage that the quality of goods on Sky Supermarket.com is far superior to that of Aibao.com.

Although Aibao.com has a complete range of products, the quality of the products varies. Therefore, Skymart.com has adopted another growth model, focusing on the weakness of Aibao.com, where fake and knockoff products are rampant, in order to gain a larger market space.

In the short term, Skymart.com will have to invest a lot in the early stage, and its growth rate will be slower than that of Aibao.com, but in the long term, Skymart.com will be more popular because when online shopping becomes the mainstream consumption form, consumers will return to rationality and pursue product quality and after-sales service.

Moreover, the goal of Skymart is to be listed in China within two to three years. After the listing, the company will be under public attention, and counterfeit goods will become a major hidden danger. As for Aibao.com, it has not eradicated this drawback at present, mainly because it is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. After all, Hong Kong is not completely synchronized with the mainland's news, so this risk is avoided.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is an international securities market with a very complex capital situation. At the same time, investors have little to do with Chinese people.

In short, even if companies like Aibao.com make profits in the future, from a capital perspective, it has nothing to do with the Chinese people. Most of the shareholders are foreign capital, and the shareholder dividends are also given to large foreign investors.

Because Huaying Investment has red attributes, when it invests in companies, it will be more based on the interests of the country and pay more attention to the impact on the domestic market economy. Therefore, Sky Supermarket will not be listed overseas in the future, but will choose to be listed domestically.

After the signing ceremony, the Xiaguang District Government hosted the participants and provided lunch in the form of a buffet at the Municipal Conference Center Hotel.

Fang Zhicheng walked beside Ning Xiangcao, picking out food. Ning Xiangcao's plate was mostly filled with vegetables. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Eat some fish, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be full."

Ning Xiangcao glanced at Fang Zhicheng and said with a smile: "I thought it would be a feast, but it turned out to be a buffet. You are really stingy."

The buffet lunch seems to offer a lot of food, but in fact the cost is very low. A medium-sized Chinese dinner costs at least 1,300 or 1,000 yuan, and if you add drinks, it will be more than 2,000 yuan. The cost per person for this buffet is about 50 or 60 yuan. Xiaguang's reception mode is unique because large-table banquets are popular in government reception lunches.

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Isn't it enough to just feed yourself?"

Ning Xiangcao shrugged and said, "I used to think you were very generous, but now I think you're very stingy. You got 30 million US dollars, and you only gave me a few dozen dollars?"

Fang Zhicheng said, "I'll invite you again later, in a private capacity."

Ning Xiangcao then let Fang Zhicheng go, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That's pretty good."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Sister Vanilla, I didn't expect you to be so cute."
