Just as the construction of Jinghu Ranch was in full swing, Xiao Feng received a call from Zhu Xu, saying that the senior management of "Long Xiangrui" planned to go to Ginkgo Village to inspect the situation of Jinghu Company on site, and then decide whether to lend money to Jinghu Company.

After all, it is not too much to be cautious when it comes to issues involving tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Besides, the connection between Long Xiangrui and Xiao Feng is limited to a few gold transactions, and they do not know much about the situation of Jinghu Company.

On the phone, Zhu Xu just said that the senior management of "Long Xiangrui" will go to Ginkgo Village to negotiate with Xiao Feng in the near future, but the specific timetable was not given.

Xiao Feng was helpless in this regard. After all, he could not influence the senior management of "Long Xiangrui". Zhu Xu was already loyal enough to do this.

The loan of "Long Xiangrui" would not be taken down for a while, so Xiao Feng had to instruct Yang Yuanhang and Ma Wanli to submit loan applications to Yaozhou's commercial banks in the name of Jinghu Company and Jinghu Ranch respectively.

Now, the grand blueprint of Jinghu Ranch has begun, and Xiao Feng naturally cannot interrupt the development plan of the ranch due to funding issues. Xiao Feng has made up his mind that once the financing process is hindered, he will find some works from the "Purple Bamboo Space" collection and throw them into the auction market to raise enough funds for the development of Jinghu Ranch.

"It seems that the noise of our children is quite big!" On the flight from Haizhou to Yaozhou, a white-haired old man pointed to some reports in the newspaper and said to the old guy sitting next to him.

"Build the best milk source in China!" The old man in Tang suit made him look much younger. He continued: "But whether this is hype or real material remains to be seen!"

In the seat behind the two old men, Zhu Xu struggled to stuff his huge body into the small seat in the economy class, looking depressed.

The two old men are the actual helmsmen of "Long Xiangrui". Among them, the old man in the old man is Zhu Xu's biological grandfather, so even if Zhu Xu complains, he has nowhere to vent.

Usually, Zhu Xu always takes first class when he goes out, and he will also take business class even if he is not good. This is not because he wants to enjoy it. The seats in economy class are too small, and Zhu Xu, who is more than 200 pounds, feels uncomfortable when he sits.

However, with two elderly people who started their business with thrift, Zhu Xu had no chance of "hedonism". Fortunately, the flight from Haizhou to Yaozhou only takes less than three hours to fly, which is a great blessing in disgrace!

If it were those intercontinental voyages, letting Zhu Xu sit in the economic seat would have cost him his life!

After Zhu Xu returned to Haizhou with 49 gold bricks, he reported the loan intention of Jinghu Ranch to the senior management of the "Long Xiangrui" board of directors.

Zhu Mingli, the largest shareholder of "Long Xiangrui" company, is Zhu Xu's grandfather and the second largest shareholder Yan Kuan are very interested in Xiao Feng, who has generated nearly 100 million transactions with "Long Xiangrui" in recent times, and decided to go to Ginkgo Village in person to inspect and decide whether to lend money to Jinghu Company.

As a century-old official, "Long Xiangrui" had been involved in bill accounts, pawns and loans during the Qing Dynasty, and even had the prototype of a modern bank at its peak. However, during the Republic of China, during various war periods and even public-private partnerships after liberation, the business scope of "Long Xiangrui" was greatly reduced, and in the end it was only the production and sales of gold and silver jewelry.

After the reform and opening up, the Zhu family and Yan family, as the founding family of "Long Xiangrui", spent a lot of money and energy, and finally got the ownership of "Long Xiangrui" from the government.

After nearly 30 years of development, "Long Xiangrui" has shined new vitality in the new era and has successfully become one of the leading brands in the gold jewelry industry in Haizhou and even East China.

However, like most Chinese companies, diversified thinking continues to sprout during the development process of "Long Xiangrui". Starting five years ago, "Long Xiangrui" began to engage in pawning, small mortgage loans and other businesses, and registered related companies, becoming a new profit growth point for "Long Xiangrui".

However, the board of directors of "Long Xiangrui" is not satisfied with such small-scale quarrels. They are eager to show their skills in the financial field and expand the influence of "Long Xiangrui" while making profits.

In this way, the provision of temporary loans, mortgage loans and other businesses to some private enterprises have quietly begun, and they have even become an important business component of "Long Xiangrui".

In a sense, "Long Xiangrui" provides loans to private enterprises, and some are suspected of illegal loans, illegal financing, etc., but the Zhu family and Yan family have very deep connections in the Haizhou officialdom, and local governments also open their eyes and close their eyes on this.

This time, Jinghu Ranch’s large-scale financing plan is the biggest business that Long Xiangrui encountered after entering the financing business, which naturally made the heads of the Zhu family and Yan family pay great attention, which led to this trip to Yaozhou.

…………

After the flight arrived at Yaozhou Airport, Zhu Xu was worried that the two elderly people would have altitude sickness, but he never thought that the two elderly people performed better than the fat man Zhu Xu, which made the fat man feel ashamed.

Zhu Xu and his party did not stop in Yaozhou, but rented a Buick GL8 at the airport and headed straight to the western Yunnan County.

Along the way, the snow-capped mountains, forests, rivers and various beautiful scenery surprised the two old people, but the poor road conditions of S225 made the two old people look a little ugly.

In addition to the bumpy journey that makes the elderly feel uncomfortable, the hidden dangers caused by road conditions are the main reasons that make the elderly look ugly.

According to Zhu Xu's description, Jinghu Company is building an area with an area of ​​more than 1,200 square kilometers, trying to create an international scenic spot. Although the two elderly people do not know much about the tourism industry, smooth transportation is an important basis for the development of a scenic spot.

The poor road conditions in western Yunnan have already given Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan a discount on the prospects of Jinghu Company.

After the car arrived at the county town of western Yunnan, it did not stop, but turned to S233 and went straight to Ginkgo Village.

During the process of dealing with Xiao Feng many times, Zhu Xu had already learned about Ginkgo Village and Jinghu Company through various channels. He knew that Ginkgo Village now has certain accommodation conditions and did not have to waste time in the western Yunnan county town.

"Little fat man, go down and ask what's going on?" After the car drove out of the western Yunnan county town, Yan Kuan pointed to a small courtyard on the side of the road with the sign "S233 Provincial Highway Expansion Project Command" and asked Zhu Xu to go down and ask for information.

After Zhu Xu got off the car, he found that it was like a huge construction site, with a large amount of building materials piled up like mountains, and the passing construction machinery made a deafening sound.

"Who are you looking for?" When Zhu Xu was protruding his head at the command gate, the guardian called him in Western Yunnan Mandarin.

"Uncle, I'll ask you something!" Zhu Xu took out a bag of China from his pocket, handed it to the uncle, and asked, "What's going on with this engineering command?"

"You'll ask the right person!" The guardian seemed to be talking too, and took a beautiful breath and said, "Ginkgo Village wants to build a scenic spot and a milk powder factory, with an investment of hundreds of millions. The county gritted its teeth and squeezed out part of the finance department, and applied for subsidies from the superior department, preparing to expand S233 into a first-class highway!"

The guardian was a retired teacher at Dianxi County No. 1 Middle School. He couldn't sit still at home, so he ran to the engineering command center to visit the project. His eldest son was the director of the transportation bureau of Dianxi County and served as the executive deputy commander of the engineering command center. Therefore, the uncle was quite familiar with some of the inside information about the S233 and S225 expansion projects.

If Zhu Xu asked others, he might not have been able to obtain such a rich amount of information.

In the somewhat difficult Mandarin of Yunnan, Zhu Xu could not understand, Zhu Xu could barely hear the general meaning. The construction of Jinghu Scenic Area and Jinghu Ranch has driven local transportation construction, and the S225 expansion project will also start in a while. By next summer, it will only take three hours to get from Yaozhou Airport to Jinghu Scenic Area.

"Thank you, uncle!" Zhu Xu was in a good mood and stuffed the newly Kaifeng Zhonghua on his hand to the uncle, and turned around to GL8.

As the first employee of "Long Xiangrui" to come into contact with Xiao Feng, Zhu Xu has a considerable likes of Xiao Feng and is willing to provide loans to Jinghu Company from his personal perspective. However, doing business cannot be emotional, and Zhu Xu cannot play any role in the loan issue.

The investment of local governments in transportation construction undoubtedly increases the probability of success of Jinghu Scenic Area and Jinghu Ranch, which may become a key factor for the board of directors.

After returning to the car, Zhu Xu wanted to tell the two old men all the things he saw and heard, as objective as possible, without mixing his subjective views.

After hearing Zhu Xu's words, the two old men ignored him and asked the driver to restart the car and continue to go to Ginkgo Village.

On the 80-kilometer provincial road from the western Yunnan county town to Ginkgo Village, there are sand and gravel yards and sheds everywhere, indicating that the expansion of S233 is imminent. Combined with the information collected by Zhu Xu, this proves that the local government has high hopes for the Jinghu Scenic Area and Jinghu Ranch, and in this way, it shows support for Jinghu Company.

Zhu Xu and his group appeared on the Lancang River steel cable bridge, which stunned the villagers of Ginkgo Village and staff of Jinghu Company who were receiving tourists.

Over the past period of time, most of the travelers to Ginkgo Village are mainly young hikers, and middle-aged people are extremely rare. The arrival of the two elderly people, Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan, is naturally a bit alternative. What's more, Zhu Xu and two other followers serve the two elderly people in front of each other. This kind of scene usually occurs in ripe sanitation scenic spots, rather than in emerging scenic spots like Ginkgo Village.

Xiao Feng, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi, who knew Zhu Xu, were busy in Jinghu Ranch. They had no idea that Zhu Xu had quietly arrived at Ginkgo Village with the decision-maker of "Long Xiangrui".
