He won 900 million in the lottery.

[A Brahmin in a county town, the pinnacle of ordinary people.]

I called Chen Sheng first after getting up early to ask him to have breakfast together.

Chen Sheng: "Are you serious about not going to Shanghai?"

Me: "Of course, I've already set up the company."

Chen Sheng: "Well, you're up to something big without saying a word, but you didn't even include me."

Me: "I failed in my business in Shanghai and came back dejectedly. How could I possibly have the face to help you make money? This is the last time. I swallowed my pride and asked all my friends in the industry to chip in and start a company. If you have any good projects, Mr. Chen, you can contact me."

Chen Sheng exclaimed in delight, "Tianyi, you've finally come to your senses! You know so many rich people; it would be a waste not to take advantage of them!"

I smiled and said, "You said it before, if there's no connection, it's useless, it expires."

Chen Sheng: "The establishment of your company will be of great help to me."

Me: "There are conditions. The company isn't just mine; there's a professional manager running it. But if you have a good project, I can come and inspect it."

What does someone like Chen Sheng lack now?

We don't lack projects, we lack money!

A qualified social talent is often good at uncovering information and developing projects.

Making money or not is not his focus.

Grand Hotel.

The lobby was decorated in a magnificent style.

I walked straight to the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor.

I checked the time in the "Jinxiu Pavilion" private room; it was 6:49, just in time.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door of the private room.

"Come in."

Wu Lei's voice came from inside.

I pushed open the door and went inside.

The private room was very large, with a huge round table in the center and ten mahogany chairs around it. Tableware and tea were already set on the table.

Wu Lei sat in the main seat, holding a teacup and drinking tea.

Chen Yuanyuan sat near the door.

"Mr. Shen, you've arrived!"

Chen Yuanyuan stood up to greet me and introduced the "fourth person".

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Chen Hangtian, the boss of Aerospace Construction."

I noticed this person as soon as I entered; he had an excellent demeanor. Who says all construction workers are burly and rough? This person has a similar air about him to Liu Haitao's uncle.

I've never had any dealings with the aerospace construction company, but his name is everywhere in the city.

Brahman economy in the county town.

The resource-monopolistic economic model formed around groups within the system can be identified by observing multiple dimensions relevant to county-level scenarios, such as consumption, industry, and resource allocation. Specific methods are as follows:

1. Focus on high-end consumer circles: high-end hotels, jewelry, and restaurants.

2. Infrastructure and real estate-related industries: sand, gravel, earthwork, concrete; large-scale housing developments, collective housing; local municipal maintenance including roads, water supply, heating and other public facilities. These industries are important carriers of the Brahman economy.

3. Allocation of core resources: education, healthcare, relocation, and future planning.

4. Special business and interpersonal networks: building materials, government outsourcing projects, brokers, and various private high-end clubs.

architecture?

The man in front of me is a Brahmin from the county town.

He was probably around thirty years old, wearing a black suit, with his hair neatly styled, giving him a very energetic look.

Our eyes met, and he stood up, extending his hand generously: "Hello, I'm Chen Hangtian."

Me: "Shen Tianyi, it's an honor to meet you."

"I've heard Dean Wu praise you many times, and today I finally meet you in person. I hope you will give me more guidance in the future."

"With Dean Wu here, he is a senior, and we should all learn from him."

I said, and sat down in the seat next to Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan poured me a cup of tea: "President Shen, have some tea. This is pre-Qingming Longjing tea brought by Director Wu; it tastes very good."

"Thanks."

I picked up the teacup, took a sip, and it was indeed good tea.

Wu Lei looked at us with a smile: "President Shen, President Chen, you are both young people and career-oriented, so you'll definitely have a lot in common in the future. I called you here today for two reasons: first, to introduce you to each other, and second, because I really have something I'd like to ask President Shen for help with."

"You're too kind, Dr. Wu. Please feel free to tell me what you need. I will do my best to help if it's within my power."

"Let's eat first, and chat while we eat."

Before we even started eating, the waiter brought out a decanter.

Well, it's going to be another tough battle.

Wu Lei: "I'm not available today, so Mr. Chen and Yuanyuan can keep Mr. Shen company while I drink."

Me: "Then I'll have to trouble you two today."

If you don't want to be at a disadvantage in social situations, then be assertive at the dinner table!

Rules of the Three Kingdoms.

Me: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Dean Wu. And since the wine is so good tonight, I'll have a drink and set an example for everyone. Let's toast Dean Wu for the first time."

One bite at a time.

The glass isn't large, about 2 ounces, which is already considered high-class.

The three of them each offered a cup, and the first three cups alone consumed more than half a jin (250ml).

The proper etiquette at the dinner table has been followed.

Wu Lei nodded and looked at Chen Hangtian: "Hangtian, you two talk."

"Okay, Dean Wu."

Chen Hangtian looked at me and said, "President Shen, it's like this. My company is currently working on a government industrial park project in the new district, covering an area of ​​over 200 acres. It mainly involves building standard factory buildings and supporting facilities. The project is nearing completion and is expected to be completed and delivered next month."

I nodded without saying anything, waiting for him to continue.

"To maximize profits, I signed a cash purchase agreement for building materials."

Cash purchase?

What a grand scale! What substantial financial strength!

Chen Hangtian paused for a moment, then continued, "We've invested about 6000 million yuan in the initial phase. Now that the project is nearing completion, we need to purchase a batch of concrete, which also requires cash. The government originally promised to allocate funds in the middle of this month, but due to some special circumstances, the funds will be delayed by a month."

He continued, "A few days ago, I was complaining to Dean Wu about the government's funding issues. He got annoyed by my nagging, so he introduced General Manager Shen to me."

Two pieces of information.

First, the issue of money.

Second, this project is related to Wu Lei.

Under Chen Hangtian's surprised gaze, I raised my glass to him and said, "President Chen, since Director Wu invited me here and introduced us, I can't let him down. At least I have to live up to the praise he gave me to you. I can't help with big things, but I must make sure to arrange small things properly."

Chen Hangtian reluctantly clinked glasses with me again, surprised by my ability to drink so much, and also surprised by my capacity for alcohol.

"When did Liancheng City produce such an outstanding person as President Shen? It's truly a pity we didn't meet sooner!"

Chen Hangtian downed the glass of baijiu in one gulp.

That's all I have to say for now, let's not discuss it further.

Wu Lei was clearly very happy, and my actions showed that he hadn't misjudged me.

I raised my glass: "Yuanyuan, thank you so much for this opportunity to meet Dean Wu and President Chen. I'll drink this glass to the last drop. Yuanyuan, I'll answer your phone 24/7."

Chen Hangtian joked from the side, "Yuanyuan, pay attention to President Shen's wording, it's 24 hours."

Chen Yuanyuan said shyly, "Mr. Chen, you've had too much to drink again."

Damn, this woman is something else.

After a satisfying meal, Chen Hangtian and I exchanged WeChat contacts and arranged to meet the next day.

The agreed location was Chen Hangtian's company.

This is also part of his demonstration of his capabilities; otherwise, where would I get the confidence to invest in him?
