In the evening, the plane landed at Huazhou Airport in District 1, which is the capital and political and cultural center of District 1.
Everyone got off the plane and left the airport through the VIP channel. As soon as they reached the gate, four very luxurious business cars pulled up.
A Chinese man in a suit, about thirty years old, greeted Yu Jinrong with a smile and invited everyone to get in the car.
Su Tianyu observed that the drivers in the four cars were all dressed in formal attire, had regular facial features, and spoke politely. Judging from this detail, the Yu family should be quite prestigious in District 1.
Four cars left the airport and arrived at the Huadu business district at around seven o'clock in the evening, arriving at the Yu family's private apartment here.
This business district is close to the regional council and Huadu’s most famous landmark building. It is no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is valuable. However, the Yu family’s apartment here actually has two floors and is nearly 500 square meters.
What is hidden wealth? This is hidden wealth!
If you only look at Yu Jinrong's identity, he is at most a director-level cadre. His monthly salary is not particularly high, and he does not have absolute power in the management committee. It seems that in terms of wealth, he is not as rich as Lu Feng.
But after Su Tianyu and Bai Hongbo followed them to Area 1, they discovered that the person they were relying on was quite powerful.
The Yu family has a private apartment, so everyone doesn't need to stay in a hotel. Everyone went back to their rooms, put their luggage away, had dinner with Yu Jinrong in the evening, and then went to bed early.
…
The next morning, An Qiqi and Wawa went out at around eight o'clock, picked up by a special driver. Su Tianyu and others had breakfast and waited together for the person Yu Jinrong wanted to meet.
The other person was a man in his forties, with a solid build, a short flat head, wearing trousers and a short-sleeved white T-shirt. He looked very energetic and did not look like a middle-aged man at all.
During the conversation, Su Tianyu learned that the other party was Yu Jinrong's younger brother, named Yu Jinhang, who seemed to work in the security department of the Chinese army and was also a soldier.
Yu Jinhang sat on the sofa and said softly, "Brother, why did you want to start an association again?"
"Well, Longcheng is in this situation right now, let's just go with the flow." Yu Jinrong replied while smoking, "Have you contacted Hongshi?"
"I mentioned it tentatively, but we can't discuss it in detail over the phone. I have an appointment with Old Ni from Hongshi for lunch at noon. Can we chat about it together?"
"Okay, let's talk." Yu Jinrong nodded: "Let's plan the route first and solve the funding problem as soon as possible."
"Um!"
The conversation between the two brothers was very brief. They settled the business in just a few words. The rest of the time was spent chatting about family matters and talking about Yu Jinrong's recent situation in Longcheng.
…
At 11:30 am, in the restaurant of the Business Building next to the District Council of District 1, Yu Jinrong, his son, Su Tianyu, Bai Hongbo and others entered the private room.
"Hey, Lao Yu, long time no see!" A bald middle-aged man with a plump figure stood up to greet him and extended his hand.
"Mr. Ni, Happy New Year!" Yu Jinrong said with a smile.
"Happy, happy, haha! Come on, sit down!" The bald middle-aged man greeted everyone politely.
In this kind of situation, Su Tianyu and others couldn't say anything. They could only sit aside and watch the big man at the table perform.
In fact, whether Su Tianyu and Bai Hongbo followed them on this business trip to raise money would not have any effect on the result, so Gou Liuzi himself knew that Yu Jinrong brought them here this time, firstly, to take them to see the world, and secondly, to show his strength to the Su, Bai, and Kong families.
Inside, after everyone sat down, the bald middle-aged secretary began to bustle around pouring wine and serving the guests.
During the dinner, they asked each other about their well-being and tested each other. After everyone had a few drinks, Mr. Ni took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Old Yu, I heard that you came back this time to find money?"
"Yes, I want to attract some investment!" Yu Jinrong nodded: "That's why I come to you, the God of Wealth, for help."
"Haha!" Mr. Ni smiled and said, "Last year, I dared to agree if you called me the God of Wealth, but this year, I really can't. Several projects invested by our Red Stone Group have all gone down the drain due to the influence of the independence policy of District 1. It's very difficult for me to do it."
When Yu Jinhang heard this, he immediately curled his lips and said, "We haven't even talked about money yet, and you're closing the door on us?"
"No, no!" Mr. Ni waved his hand, looked at Yu Jinrong with a smile and asked, "What kind of project do you want to do to get investment?"
"I want to set up an association in Longcheng, a workers' group." Yu Jinrong replied.
"Political investment?" Mr. Ni was a little surprised.
"I guess so. Recently, we had a lot of unpleasantness with the Longcheng Wharf Gang because of the business at sea. They pushed us into a desperate situation." Yu Jinrong took a sip of water and interrupted, "I was a little anxious before. Now I think we should calm down and do something down-to-earth."
Mr. Ni paused and asked: "How much money do you want to raise?"
"Establishing a council is a long-term investment. A large sum of money cannot solve the problem at all, so the amount must be quite large." Yu Jinrong replied frankly: "However, it is really difficult to expect a return in the early stages of investment."
"No specific projects?" Mr. Ni asked with a frown.
"Specific projects... Currently, it's a sanitation company and a smuggled goods business at sea. But in the future, we can slowly expand through the association. But for now, we still have to set up the platform." Yu Jinrong replied without a single leak.
Mr. Ni was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled and said, "Old Yu! You are already this old, why do you have to set up an association? Let me say something unpleasant, this may not be done by a generation, and it is easy to touch the sensitive nerves of the upper echelons of District 1 because of political stance and other issues."
Yu Jinrong was silent.
"If you really want to do something, can we use the money to do some specific projects? Real estate, the future expansion of the new district of Longcheng, medicine, foreign trade, these are all very profitable." President Ni still smiled and said, "Why bother to set up an association?"
"Haha." Yu Jinrong grinned.
"An initial investment of one or two thousand is not a big deal, but your project... requires follow-up investment, but there won't be much benefit in the short term." Mr. Ni replied with some embarrassment: "You said, if I report such a project to the higher-ups, it would probably be quite embarrassing. Haha, as a business group, you still have to make a profit, Lao Yu!"
"Okay, let's drink!" Yu Jinrong already understood the other party's thoughts, so he was not going to make things difficult for him.
Mr. Ni picked up his glass, paused and said, "Oh, by the way, if you want to set up an association, I can introduce you to someone who would be willing to invest in it, and he has plenty of money."
"Who is it?" Yu Jinrong asked, holding a glass of wine.
"Sanfeng Capital, Shen Fei, Boss Shen!" Mr. Ni said with a smile, "He is now spending money, and is particularly interested in Dragon City."
Yu Jinrong was stunned for a long time: "Shen Fei? This name is somewhat familiar to me!"
"In 1943 or 1944, he actually went to Longcheng, but I heard that due to some things, he did not take root there. Later, he moved to District 1 and established the Sanfeng Group. At the beginning, he also engaged in foreign trade." Mr. Ni said softly: "In the past two years, he is quite famous in our circle, but he is an unknown name. If you don't reach a certain level, you can't contact him."
Yu Jinrong: "Ah, now that you put it that way, I know who it is."
…
Su family.
Su Tianbei sat in the pavilion, frowned and asked the third sister, "Where can Daxiong run to? There are so many people in the police station, but they can't catch him! Isn't that strange?"
The third sister was also puzzled: "Yes, his family doesn't care about him, and no one helps him, where can he go?"
Su Tianbei was silent for a while: "Well, maybe it's because he is different from normal people, his circle is too narrow, and he works alone, so it's hard to catch him."
"Hey, now that you mention it, I remember it." The third sister suddenly shouted loudly: "Hey, it's really possible...!"
"What is possible?" Su Tianbei asked.
