Chapter 389: Of course it's to help you repay the favor
Jiang Shu felt that his father was crazy.
Nanshan Group is the most important and cannot afford to fail in his entire structure.
He has no idea how much wealth his father has.
But it is definitely an unimaginable number.
The current richest man in the world is Gu Dongsheng, with a market value of 2 trillion Chinese yuan.
After all, the Chinese currency has been depreciating in recent years. The purpose of the depreciation is, on the one hand, to resolve domestic debts, and on the other hand, to supply high-quality products to the world and facilitate exports.
To put it bluntly, the devaluation of the Chinese currency is a shameless act, but no one can stop it. They can only watch China resolve all its debts and grab wealth from the world.
Blind devaluation is not an option. This rhythmic devaluation is very scary.
The global industry is basically dying out under the rhythm of China.
On the domestic rich list, there are six or seven people with a net worth of over one trillion yuan, and Gu Dongsheng is in an absolute leading position with two trillion yuan.
Jiang Shu knew very well the source of Uncle Gu's wealth, which was that he exchanged his foreign industries with his father for 5% of the shares of Nanshan Group. Although Nanshan Group was not listed, after deducting the debts, its assets were still worth tens of trillions.
How much money does your father have?
Nanshan Group is definitely still in his hands, but he has dispersed it.
The Qingtian Group is also in his hands.
Although Kingkong Capital was divested, who dares to say that it has nothing to do with him?
There is also Lai Qian Capital, and his shadow is also behind it.
Every New Year’s Day, among those who gather at home, who is not a local boss?
For example, Hou Wenbin is not only the spokesperson for Nanshan Group, but also builds civilized cities around the world, with Qinghe County as his template.
Because of these projects, they have a lot of resources in their hands.
Hotels, tourism, and catering consumption.
Basically they can decide whether a city has carrots or potatoes for lunch.
If we think more deeply, we will find that they have secretly gained control over the pricing of a variety of products.
The benefits involved are terrifying.
For example, Gaoming in the village has only opened 33 Dasheng supermarkets around the world, but the daily turnover of each supermarket is over 100 million yuan, and the more than 30 supermarkets receive nearly one million customers every day.
The hospitals that He Jianchuan is in charge of are currently located all over the country, and have pushed more than a dozen pharmaceutical and medical device-related companies to go public.
Aunt Wang Qi, who can only be seen on the second day of the Lunar New Year, is also the mother-in-law of his younger brother Li Jingcheng. Her husband has been the village chief for four years.
He is not even fifty yet, but it is very likely that he will take a step forward around fifty.
Going further up is the God of Wealth.
It’s not convenient for others to come, but Aunt Wang Qi comes here on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year and stays for several days.
Jiang Shu has been paying attention to this matter over the past two years.
He knew very well what the trump card in his father's hand was, and that was Nanshan Group.
The overall focus of the Kingkong Group is still on finance. Even if Kingkong Capital is spun off, there will not be much difference. The ultimate goal is to integrate the supply chain and provide leverage resources for the supply chain links.
In his opinion, Yu Yue is the only useless thing around his father.
However, Yu Yue's status and position are very special. Although he is no longer in charge of the affairs of the Qingtian Group, he is still the CEO with an annual salary of over ten billion yuan.
But he felt very strange. His father obviously hated using backdoors and connections the most, but he was happy to accept Yue's gifts. If he was not satisfied with a gift one day, he would remind the other party and tell them what he wanted.
Over the years, his house has accumulated a mountain of jewels and jade.
Someone followed Yu Yue's example and gave a gift to his father, but his father asked the person to take it back in front of him.
Didn't give any face at all.
In Jiang Shu's opinion, his father's only friend is Yu Yue, and everything else is just about interests.
Interests bind everyone together.
The interest structure inside is very complicated, and he can currently see four forces.
The first battlefield, and also the strongest on the surface, is Nanshan Group.
It includes executors represented by Gu Dongsheng, and a supporting team represented by Hou Wenbin and others, plus the Qingtian Group represented by Aunt Chen Jie as the financial core. The three forces develop and confront each other in a balanced manner, and no one dares to take it lightly.
The second battlefield, Qingtian Group.
In name, the Qingtian Group is now under the management of Aunt Chen Jie, but in fact, there are many branches within the Qingtian Group.
For example, brokerage business, banking business, and payment belong to Kingkong Capital, while product sales source and traffic source belong to BiXin.
Aunt Chen Jie is in charge of a lot of things, but she is still controlled by Qingtian Capital and BiXin.
The CEO of Kingkong Capital is Aunt Guo Meng, and the CEO of Bi Xin is Aunt Song Jiajia. The two parties stand together and compete with Aunt Chen Jie as a whole.
The third battlefield is the Lotus Trust managed by his father, which mainly serves foreign industries. It is currently Aunt Shen Anna's home court, because Aunt Shen Anna's son, that is, his younger brother whose rank he doesn't know, is now the little prince of Surinan.
Others basically only have the right to share the food, but not the right to change anything.
Even Aunt Shen Anna is of little use, except that she handles a lot of related matters.
He vaguely felt that there was a fourth battlefield, but unfortunately he hadn't seen it yet.
Perhaps that battlefield is where the game is most brutal.
Among the three battlefields he knew, there were forces represented by Gu Dongsheng and Chen Qi, forces represented by Hou Wenbin, forces represented by Chen Jie, forces represented by Guo Meng and Song Jiajia, and forces represented by Shen Anna.
The camps are not clear-cut, and many people play supporting roles in these camps, and there are close ties between them.
For example, hospitals and supermarkets.
There is also Aunt Zhou Ranran, who is very low-key in her daily life, and the most important thing is my mother.
Jiang Shu always felt that the power behind his mother was the most terrifying, but unfortunately he never knew what his mother represented.
The power behind Aunt Zhou Ranran is not weak either. He feels that it is no weaker than what is visible on the surface.
It seems that... low-key people are all very strong and inexplicably weird.
According to the information he collected, most people in the village could be on the rich list, but in fact, only Gu Dongsheng was on the list. There was no news about others at all, and they could not even be found on the Internet.
Similarly, when searching for Li Yuan on the Internet, one can only see the date of death.
Jiang Yiling, Zhou Ranran, Shen Anna, and Shu Yanlin were nowhere to be seen.
He originally thought that once he had thoroughly studied the relationships involved, he could take part in the national examination.
After a year of research, I still felt something was missing.
He didn't want to go to his dad to ask.
Only those who have researched it themselves can have a deep understanding of it. If others talk about it, you will not be able to understand the meaning of deep architecture at all.
He was very flustered by what his father said.
Dad dared to give Nanshan Group away as Gu Yu's dowry? What should I do then?
Similarly, this would overturn all his previous research, because Nanshan Group did not hold much importance in his father's heart.
There is nothing more terrifying in the world than this, which makes things worse.
He picked up his phone and called Gu Yu.
As soon as the call was connected, he immediately said, "Don't accept gifts from others, do you hear me?"
"I won't listen! Uncle Liu has already told me that I can take it."
"His words don't count!"
"But I also asked my dad, and he said yes, too."
"What!"
Jiang Shu didn't expect that Uncle Gu would agree to such a thing.
Did he know that his father was going to give away Nanshan Group as a dowry? Did he want to completely control Nanshan Group?
Isn't he afraid that this is a trap set by his father?
The current structure benefits everyone. Once it is broken, the distribution of benefits will become unbalanced.
"Hey, Jiang Shu, are you jealous? After all, someone gave me a gift, but I've never seen a girl give you a gift."
Jiang Shu: “…”
He doesn't want it.
There were so many girls who gave him gifts that they could line up from Qinghe to the capital, but he never accepted any of them.
"If you dare to accept someone's gift, I will beat you up!"
He didn't want to say anything now and could only express his attitude.
He doesn't like Gu Man, not because Gu Man is bad.
If he agreed, the child with Gu Man would be two or three years old.
But compared to his life goals, being with Gu Man is not suitable.
He doesn't like those kind of eccentric personalities. Gu Man thinks about starting a business all day long, but what kind of business is that?
He stays away from girls who like to make trouble.
No matter how good you are at starting a business, you can never surpass any elder in the village. The resources those elders can easily take out are enough for the children in the village to struggle for a lifetime.
Ordinary people out there will never earn one tenth of those resources in their entire lifetime.
He wanted to challenge the highest mountain.
So since he was a teenager, he has strictly disciplined himself and worked hard to improve himself, and he will not do it until he has fully understood it.
"If you dare to hit me, I will complain!"
"Do you think I'm afraid you'll complain?"
"You...Jiang Shu, you are really angry."
"Um."
"Why are you angry?"
"Because I like you."
“…”
…
"Jiang Shu, are you still there?"
"Yes."
"Did you say that on purpose? You just don't want me to accept the gift, so as not to hurt your self-esteem for not having any gifts to accept? If so, then I will agree to it..."
"no."
"Do you think it's okay?"
"No, you don't understand what people say?"
"oh."
…
"Jiang Shu, are you still there?"
"I'm here. Can't you see it even though the phone is not hung up?"
"I'm just worried that you might be busy with other things and forget about it. I might not be able to promise you."
"Yeah, hung up."
Jiang Shu hung up the phone.
He didn't lie to Gu Yu, he really liked her.
In his opinion, Gu Yu's personality is the perfect match for him.
Gu Yu was still young before, so he didn’t say anything.
Now that he has said it, since the other party doesn't agree, he won't force it.
This kind of thing is a gamble in itself, and both parties hold the initiative.
He continued to teach his classes, and Gu Yu still came to class obediently.
However, Jiang Shu never made things difficult for her again.
…
In the village, children’s birthdays are only treated with great ceremony when they are under three years old. After three years old, the family usually celebrates it themselves, or even not at all, with parents simply saying happy birthday to their children.
Gu Yu never thought that there had to be anything special about celebrating birthdays. No one in the village paid attention to the sense of ceremony. Only Uncle Liu Hansheng, when he was really short of money, would find an excuse to hold a banquet and collect some money for the feast.
But not many times.
According to the saying in the village, birthdays just need to be remembered. Caring about the sense of ceremony will not bring any benefits other than hearing a bunch of insincere compliments.
Friday is Gu Yu’s birthday.
She got up early in the morning and the girls in the dormitory brought in a bunch of gifts for her.
Some look very expensive, while others seem to have been deliberately made to look "handmade", resulting in a horrible appearance.
She actually doesn't like receiving gifts, because if she wants one, she can go to Uncle Liu's house to get it.
Uncle Liu’s house has the most beautiful Hetian jade seed bracelets, the most exquisite antique vases, and the most beautiful jewelry and jade.
After she was admitted to university, she was given a string of them.
But she always felt that she got into this university through the back door and felt very guilty.
She always thought that Uncle Liu had good taste. Among these gifts there were a bunch of luxury goods, but these luxury goods all had big problems.
It is a superficial luxury with absolutely no substance.
To put it bluntly, these are things that can be mass-produced at will, and the manufacturers have the final say on how much they sell.
True luxury goods are unique and available in limited quantities.
For example, the dress she is wearing was given to her by Aunt Qin Si, and there is no second one on the market so far.
The brand of Qin Feng's clothes has been deliberately hidden, and the brand cannot be seen from the outside of the clothes.
Anyone who buys this dress will not pursue external show-off. The basic goal is to avoid wearing the same clothes as others.
There are only one or a dozen pieces of many styles. Anyway, there are so many people in the village, and except for Uncle Liu who often wears the same clothes as others, no one else has basically ever worn the same clothes.
Even if they are wearing the same brand.
Uncle Liu's clothes were probably given to him by others. After all, he didn't look like he could afford them.
The aunties in the village saw that he was living in poverty and was obsessed with making money all day long, so it was normal for them to give him a few pieces of clothing.
Everyone envied her, including her roommate.
Looking at the gifts, they exclaimed in amazement.
Because some gifts are worth millions.
Gu Yu really didn't ask anyone for gifts, and didn't tell anyone about this.
She took a photo and sent it to Li Yuan.
"Uncle Liu, I don't dare accept these gifts. I can't afford to pay for them."
Soon, Li Yuan replied: "It's just a few dollars, take it!"
"ah?"
Gu Yu was confused.
If someone else said this , she would actually believe it because others are very rich.
But Uncle Liu, how can you say such a thing?
How much is this? If you add it up, it must be tens of millions. You have done a lot of tricks for a few tens of thousands of dollars.
"Listen to me and write down the list of people who have given gifts. If you can't pay it back, give it to me."
"Ah? What do you want the list for?"
"Of course it's to eliminate dissidents... Pah, of course it's to help you repay the favor..."
