Chapter 166: Old Friend (I)
Pengcheng.
Xinxin Group Headquarters.
Su Ruoyu, who was given the task in a critical moment, looked a little gloomy.
Obviously, Xinxin Group could not escape the storm this time. After all, Du Shuping, Yang Haibo and others held nearly 50% of the shares of Xinxin Group.
With the collapse of the Du and Yang family buildings, the Xinxin Group was naturally affected.
Looking at the report document in his hand, Su Ruoyu rubbed his temple. The remaining executives of the company are all old employees who stood on Li Zhonghua's side back then.
There were once hundreds of executives, but only seven are left now. The others have either been imprisoned or have fled. Su Ruoyu sighed:
"It is not easy to hold a shareholders' meeting now. We must reorganize the group's management as soon as possible."
Another executive thought for a moment and suggested, "Boss Su, why don't we invite that person back? After all, he is now the company's largest shareholder. With our employee shares, the proportion can reach about 46%, and the reorganization of the management team will be more legitimate."
Su Ruoyu thought about it and nodded: "It's not convenient for me to go to Hongsawadi now. Who of you is willing to go to Hongsawadi?"
Everyone exchanged glances for a while, and then a middle-aged man with black and white hair said, "I'll go!"
"Then let Haitao go over!" Su Ruoyu had a complicated expression.
Jiang Haitao nodded.
Among all the people present, he was the most suitable one to go, mainly because Jiang Haitao and Li Zhonghua had a good relationship.
Although the others did not go along with Du Shuping and others, they did not say anything for Li Qingye and the Li family at the beginning, and they belonged to a neutral faction within the Xinxin Group.
And Su Ruoyu really can't leave now. Xinxin Group is facing severe internal and external troubles at this time, and no one else can control the situation.
In addition, Su Ruoyu felt very guilty about what happened that year, especially last month, when Zhu Ziming, his former secretary, "committed suicide" by being shot 36 times in the back in Japan. He knew that Li Qingye already knew a lot of things.
It would be really awkward for Su Ruoyu to go and see Li Qingye now.
Jiang Haitao and Su Ruoyu are considered to be the few remaining traces of Li Zhonghua's faction in the Xinxin Group.
Over the years, if the two of them did not still have a certain amount of shares and the support of some shareholding employees, they would have been kicked out of the management by Du Shuping and others.
Carrying some internal company documents, Jiang Haitao hurriedly took a plane to Yangon, Hongsawadi.
Arrival at Yangon International Airport.
Jiang Haitao and his assistant Zhang Qin only spent more than an hour at the airport before they passed the fast security check procedure and obtained internal passes to Hongsavadi.
"Boss Jiang, the car has been arranged."
At the airport gate, the two got into a taxi.
The airport is surrounded by rice fields, and a few kilometers away is Yangon City, or to be more precise, the new district of Yangon. However, Jiang Haitao, who has never been to Hongsawady, does not know the changes in Yangon.
“It’s really lively here.”
The driver smiled and replied, "The area near the airport is the new area, the old area is average."
"Master, your Mandarin is pretty good!" Jiang Haitao was a little surprised.
The driver showed his big white teeth: "Haha, I am Kachin, I can speak some Mandarin. There are many foreign tourists in Yangon, so the company will recruit some drivers who can speak Mandarin, English and Thai."
"Then how do you know I'm Chinese?"
"The company is connected with the airport system and will specifically match the right driver for the foreign customers."
Jiang Haitao suddenly realized: "This is a good service, it is convenient for foreign guests."
“Haha, service first is the city slogan of Yangon. ” The driver replied with a smile.
After a while, the vehicle entered the new district of Yangon.
Looking at the sparse number of vehicles on the street, as well as the large number of taxis and buses, Jiang Haitao sighed: "It seems that Hongsawadi has also been greatly affected. There are not many people going out on the street."
"Uh... did you misunderstand something?"
"Isn't it? I don't see many private cars here. There should be a lot of people who own private cars in Yangon, right?"
The driver was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Haha, you misunderstood, there are not many private cars on the street. The main reason is that the fuel price here is very high. It is not cost-effective to drive a fuel car. It is better to take a taxi or bus."
"Fuel price? Taxis also run on fuel, right?"
The driver explained: "Fuel in Yangon costs 50 yuan per liter. My car uses natural gas, which costs 5 yuan per cubic meter. There are also subsidies within the company. The distance you can travel with one liter of gasoline and one cubic meter of natural gas is about the same."
"So that's it." Jiang Haitao suddenly realized.
In fact, because the Aoba Group, Development Group and United Group acquired the methane fermentation technology of the Sapiens Company and exchanged a large number of crystal sponges, a large number of methane fermentation plants have now been built in Hongsavadi.
Considering that oil has to be imported and methane can be produced locally, Hongsavadi directly uses the price difference to favor the market.
Now the price of gasoline in Hongsavadi market is 50 gold yuan per liter, and the price of diesel per liter is 45 gold yuan.
In contrast, methane gas costs only 5 gold yuan per cubic meter.
In addition, a 500% environmental tax will be directly levied on imported private fuel cars, while gas vehicles can be imported normally.
Of course, some engineering companies’ engineering vehicles can still receive special fuel subsidies, but except for the three major groups, other companies cannot get this subsidy.
The fuel vehicles driven in Hongsavadi now are all left over from the past. The newly imported fuel vehicles are unaffordable even for the middle class except for the wealthy and businesses.
What's more, there are not many natural rich people in Hongsavadi now. The previous rich people were either physically eliminated or secretly controlled by the Homo Sapiens company.
Only a small number of wealthy people who abide by the law are left, and they are almost becoming endangered species due to the joint hunting and squeezing of the three major groups.
Therefore, the number of people driving private cars has indeed decreased significantly.
Many employees of the three major groups, even middle-level managers with considerable income, tend to take taxis or rent cars from car rental companies. These are internal industries of the company and employee consumption can enjoy discounts.
For example, if Jiang Haitao takes a taxi from the airport to the new district of Yangon, the fare is 15 yuan within ten kilometers, while internal employees only need to pay 7.5 yuan.
Under the pressure of high oil prices and high taxes, as well as internal discounts, the vast majority of employees prefer to take buses, trains, taxis, ferries and rent cars rather than buy fuel vehicles.
Even if they want to buy a car, they will buy semi-domestic cars such as Baoshi Car, Yangon Car and Aoba Car.
This Gem Motors is a subsidiary of the Hongsavady Development Group and its production line comes from Agrale Motors of South Africa.
Yangon Motor is a subsidiary of the Hongsawady United Group, and its production line was acquired from the Mitsubishi Group.
Qingye Group bought some production lines from Dongfeng Group, and also purchased some production lines from Lifan Auto and Zotye Auto.
However, these automobile factories are mainly engaged in the development of functional automobiles. Even the development group's Gem Automobile has its automobile factory located in Siam.
Obviously, the Zhiren Company did not intend to fully expand the automobile industry in Hongsavadi, but planned to set up the automobile industry in Siam after taking over Siam.
These semi-domestic automobile factories are only for the temporary purpose of meeting the internal demand for engineering vehicles and transport vehicles.
At the same time, because the new drugs are selling well now, they are taking the opportunity to make more money from abroad and move the production line back.
