Chapter 837 Zhang Jian
A week later, Song Yuanchao officially resigned from his position as chairman of Si Te and left the company.
When leaving, Song Yuanchao packed up his personal belongings in the office and deliberately did not let anyone see him off. However, all his old subordinates came one by one and said goodbye to Song Yuanchao reluctantly at the door.
Except for Sun Yaoliang, Ying Annie and Ruth, who knew that Song Yuanchao was still a major shareholder of Si Te even though he had left, others were not clear about this situation.
Because of this reason, many people had tears in their eyes, especially Zheng Guoyuan, who was the most heartbroken about Song Yuanchao's departure, because he was able to come to Sit entirely because of Song Yuanchao, and in the past two years at Sit, Song Yuanchao's use of Zheng Guoyuan was obvious to all. It was also for this reason that Zheng Guoyuan had a very strong sense of belonging in Sit.
"Mr. Song, why are you leaving suddenly?" Holding Song Yuanchao's hand, Zheng Guoyuan couldn't help but ask what was in his mind.
"Old Zheng, all good things must come to an end. We have had a very good cooperation over the past two years. Although I am leaving, you must stay. I founded Si Te, and I hope that whether I am here or not, you will continue to help Si Te move forward, run this company well, and achieve the goals we discussed before..."
Zheng Guoyuan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. He nodded silently, feeling very uncomfortable.
Patting Zheng Guoyuan on the shoulder, Song Yuanchao walked past him and shook hands with everyone else to say goodbye. Finally, he declined everyone's suggestion to continue seeing him off and got directly into the car that was parked not far away. When Song Yuanchao got in the car and the car started to leave, everyone watched Song Yuanchao's car leave, and watched him reaching out from the car window to wave goodbye to everyone, until they could no longer see him.
After leaving Sit, Song Yuanchao went directly to the train station and boarded the train back to Shanghai.
Everything in Jinling had been cleaned up long ago, and the house and other things were temporarily handed over to Sun Yaoliang to help take care of. In order to avoid old colleagues coming to his house to look for him because of his departure, Song Yuanchao simply went back to Shanghai first. After arriving in Shanghai, he rested for a day and took a plane to Hong Kong on the third day.
A week after Song Yuanchao arrived in Hong Kong, the chairman of the board of directors of Shenghua Capital changed. Song Yuanchao replaced Qin Zhengguo as the real head of Shenghua. As for the subsidiaries of Shenghua, such as the listed Shenghua Clothing, Shenghua Telecom, Shenghua Real Estate and other companies, Song Yuanchao also became a member of the board of directors, but he did not specifically serve as the chairman of the subsidiary.
Ordinary people know little about this change. After all, Shenghua only has Shenghua Clothing listed in Hong Kong, and the actual controller of Shenghua Clothing is Shenghua Capital.
The information of Shenghua Capital has not been made public directly, but many people in the Hong Kong business community know about this change. In addition to Liu Liu, who is relatively close to Shenghua, some other well-known business people have also paid attention to this. Some people did not know Song Yuanchao before, until the actual controller of Shenghua Capital changed this time, and then they noticed Song Yuanchao who had been hiding behind the scenes.
Subsequently, Shenghua Telecom's domestic partner companies gradually withdrew, ending its actual monopoly on telecommunications products in the country, thereby helping the mainland open up its market to the outside world.
At the same time when Shenghua Telecom ended its cooperation with domestic companies, Shenghua Telecom also obtained the domestic paging business license. Shenghua Paging Station became the first non-state-owned paging company after 126 Paging Station.
In less than a month, Shenghua Telecom, which had been well prepared, officially launched its paging business in more than a dozen cities including Shanghai, Yanjing, Tianjin, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Shancheng, Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, etc. Shenghua Capital invested a lot of money and equipment in the start-up of this business. By July, Shenghua Paging's infrastructure in various places was completed, and the two pagers developed and produced by Shenghua Telecom also began to enter the mainland market...
In mid-July, Shenghua Telecom's paging business began to grow steadily under vigorous promotion. In particular, the unique Chinese pager launched by Shenghua, although expensive, soon surpassed the sales of ordinary digital pagers.
In addition, Shenghua also launched a series of preferential policies for purchasing pagers, which led to the gradual popularity of pagers in large cities. Some groups that had become rich first loved to pursue new trends, and because of these people's lead, many young people were proud to own a pager that could be pinned to their belts and make pagers.
The heat of July is scorching and August is late.
After Zhang Jian resigned, he left Sichuan Province with 5,000 yuan, which was the money he had collected from his family and the money Song Yuanchao had lent him, and took a train to Guangzhou.
Zhang Jian arrived in Guangzhou in early March. He stayed in Guangzhou for a while. After getting familiar with the local situation, he tried to start a business. With his clever mind, he made some small profit.
It was a good start, which made Zhang Jian very happy. He continued to look for a more suitable business. During the May Day holiday, someone introduced Zhang Jian to a batch of the most popular game cartridges in Japan. He was not confident and tried it out first. After making a few orders, he found that this business was indeed very profitable. He increased his investment on a whim and invested in a large batch of goods, intending to make a good profit.
But who would have thought that he would be cheated due to his carelessness. The other party actually used a trick to deceive him. Zhang Jian relaxed his vigilance because he had cooperated with the other party several times before. Unexpectedly, the cassettes he got this time were all fakes. He lost a large sum of money. The bastard who cheated him disappeared after getting the money. Zhang Jian, who suffered heavy losses, was in tears when facing the junk in his hand.
After treating these junk as scrap, Zhang Jian calculated the accounts and found that he had not only lost all the money he had earned before, but also almost all of his original capital.
Zhang Jian now has less than 800 yuan left in his hand. This amount of money may seem like a lot, but you have to know that a poor family can make a rich road. Besides, the consumption in Guangzhou is already high, and you need capital to do business. Without capital, you can't run it at all.
If this money was put into practice a few years ago, it might have been okay, but now prices have risen a lot. It is not easy to live in Guangzhou with this money, let alone do business.
Zhang Jian had no choice but to think of another way. He first gave up the rented storefront, then left Guangzhou and went to other places in the south to see if there was any way to solve the current predicament. After going back and forth, he went to Qiongdao to look for opportunities.
Although Qiongdao is not as developed as Guangzhou, it is a famous tourist attraction and there are still many foreign tourists.
Moreover, Zhang Jian had never been to Qiong Island and didn't know the situation there. He just heard that Qiong Island had just been established as a province more than two months ago, and the opportunities there might be better than in Yangcheng. So he crossed the sea to Qiong Island. After arriving in Qiong Island, Zhang Jian first stayed in Coconut City for a day, and then set off for Lucheng further south. After arriving in Lucheng, Zhang Jian began to look for opportunities, but after wandering around Lucheng for several days, he did not find a suitable business opportunity.
Qiongdao was established as a province in April this year. Previously, Qiongdao belonged to Guangdong. Compared with big cities like Guangzhou, Qiongdao has nothing worth mentioning except for its beautiful scenery.
Originally, Zhang Jian thought that there would be some changes after Qiongdao was established as a province, and there would be more opportunities. However, when he arrived at the place and took a look on the spot, Zhang Jian's originally warm heart suddenly cooled down.
The scenery of Qiong Island is indeed beautiful, and many people have visited Qiong Island in the past two years. However, after wandering around for a few days, Zhang Jian found that there are really no business opportunities in the local area. If there is any business, there are only some private restaurants and hotels in Lucheng. In addition, there are more stalls set up by locals near the beach, selling popsicles, soda and the like.
To put it bluntly, this place has nothing to offer except for the scenery. Moreover, the locals have been living in this kind of place since their ancestors, and they have long been tired of seeing the best scenery. In their eyes, the sea, the beach, the coconut trees, etc. are all the most ordinary things, and only those tourists who know nothing would think they are good.
Wandering around Lucheng, Zhang Jian was extremely disappointed. If he had known it would be like this, he would have preferred to stay in Yangcheng. Even if he couldn't do big business, he could at least do some small business.
Now, after coming from Guangzhou and spending the past few days, Zhang Jian has spent a lot of his originally limited money, and now he only has 631.25 yuan left in his pocket, including both small and large amounts. If he adds the cost of returning to Guangzhou, he may have less than 500 yuan left.
Disappointed, Zhang Jian decided to leave Lucheng and return to Yangcheng to look for opportunities. Before leaving, Zhang Jian went to the beach. Although he was in Lucheng these days, he rarely went to the beach. He mainly wandered around the city of Lucheng. Now that he was about to leave, Zhang Jian felt that since he was here, he had to have some fun, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
When we got to the beach, we found that the scenery was really nice, with white sand, blue sea, sea breeze blowing on our faces, and the sound of waves in our ears.
Zhang Jian was walking alone on the beach, looking at the endless sea in the distance, his heart was filled with emotion.
He walked slowly along the beach and met many tourists along the way. Most of these tourists were traveling in groups, and Zhang Jian was the only one who was alone.
Walking and stopping, Zhang Jian took a camera to select the scenery and took a few photos. This camera was bought by him a few years ago. It is a classic Seagull DF-1 camera, which was officially launched in 1985 and is the first SLR camera in China.
Zhang Jian, who is a photography enthusiast, can't put this camera down and even specially equipped it with an MC lens. It is his most precious treasure.
Faced with the charming scenery, Zhang Jian took several photos. After taking the photos, he couldn't help but regret that his wife and children were not with him. If the whole family could be here together now, it would be very memorable to capture their moments with a camera.
"Hello comrade, excuse me, may I trouble you for a favor?" Just as Zhang Jian was thinking this in his mind, a crisp voice sounded behind him. Zhang Jian turned around and saw two young girls dressed fashionably.
"Hello, is there anything wrong?" Zhang Jian asked.
The taller of the two young girls asked Zhang Jian, "Hello, comrade. We are here for tourism, but we don't have a camera. I saw you taking pictures just now. Can you take a few photos for us?"
Zhang Jian smiled and nodded readily, "Of course no problem, just the two of you?"
"Yes, thank you so much." When the two girls saw Zhang Jian agreed immediately, they immediately showed joy and nodded repeatedly to express their gratitude.
