I'm back in 1990

Chapter 888: Everyone Has Their Own Ideas

"I'm Back in 1990," a masterpiece by Sijiucai (Four Seasons Leek), is available to read now!

Soon, the news that Huang Xiaochuan was going back to Qingjiang to attend his high school reunion spread among his classmates.

Some classmates who were initially hesitant about attending the reunion immediately decided to participate, while others who were unable to attend for various reasons immediately tried their best to adjust their schedules in advance, creating conditions to attend even if they couldn't.

After hearing the news, Bian Wo, who had been invited by Liu Yun to a club, was somewhat incredulous and asked Liu Yun again to confirm, "Is the news true?"

"Would I lie to you?" Liu Yun said confidently. "Ren Yangyang told me herself, would she lie to us about something like this?"

Liu Yun then went on to speculate further: "I'm absolutely certain that our class monitor has Huang Xiaochuan's contact information. I went to Ren Yangyang, and Ren Yangyang told Qin Yu, who then contacted Huang Xiaochuan, which is why Huang Xiaochuan agreed to attend this class reunion."

Bian Wo also thought Liu Yun's speculation was very likely. After all, everyone knew about Qin Yu's attitude towards Huang Xiaochuan in high school. However, most people focused on their studies and didn't pay much attention to these things. But he was different because he had also liked Qin Yu very much.

Bian Wo officially took over as general manager of Chint Real Estate two years ago, while his father, Bian Zhengze, continued to hold the chairmanship, much like an emperor emeritus. However, due to his age, he rarely came to the company, so Chint Real Estate is now effectively controlled by Bian Wo.

Over the years, he has been keeping an eye on his old classmate, Huang Xiaochuan. He couldn't understand how his classmate, who had studied with him for three years in high school, had achieved what he has today.

He conducted a special study on this and came to the conclusion that Huang Xiaochuan had a thorough understanding of economics, was very good at seizing opportunities, and had a keen understanding of the essence of business.

For example, his previous actions violated the rules of business operation. According to normal business operation rules, the retail companies he controlled were all losing money because he gave most of the profits to his employees. To outsiders, this was a completely foolish thing to do.

Moreover, his real estate business is taking a steady and cautious approach, selling completed properties instead of pre-sale properties. This is truly something I've never seen before. Logically speaking, given the fierce competition in the domestic real estate market today, his real estate companies should not be able to survive.

However, his companies, including Guangda Real Estate, are doing better and better. Moreover, Guangda Real Estate is doing large projects worth billions of yuan, such as the Shanghai Pudong International Financial Center, which has just been put into operation. Bian Wo once had professionals conduct an investigation, and the annual rental income there made him so envious that he couldn't sleep for several months.

This is just one of Guangda Real Estate's many commercial complex projects, which shows how formidable Guangda Real Estate's strength is. More importantly, it is understood that Guangda Real Estate's debt ratio is shockingly low, with its debt being less than one-twentieth of that of its subsidiary, Chint Real Estate. But how big is Chint Real Estate, and how big is Guangda Real Estate? There is simply no comparison.

Therefore, Bian Wo has never been able to understand how Huang Xiaochuan did it, and where his initial funding came from. This is also a question that many entrepreneurs in China have. They are also analyzing and researching, but they just can't come to a conclusion.

Due to his work, Bian Wo had many dealings with domestic and foreign trust funds, private equity funds, and banks. After all, Chint Real Estate's expansion could not be separated from financial support, and these trust funds and private equity funds were looking for high returns, so the two sides hit it off immediately.

However, through conversations with these institutions, it was learned that none of Huang Xiaochuan's companies had sought financing from institutions other than banks, and bank loans accounted for only a negligible portion of their business.

You see, the companies controlled by Huang Xiaochuan are considered top-tier assets by trusts and private equity firms—each one a golden goose! Naturally, they wanted to invest and get a share of the profits. Unfortunately, even when they brought their money, no one paid them any attention. The response was always the same: "Sorry, we don't have any funding needs, thank you!"

This only includes his businesses in China. If we were to include the Hong Kong Grand Gateway Group, it would be even more terrifying. That company is a business behemoth, which shows just how powerful Huang Xiaochuan is.

However, in the history of human commerce, there are many people like Huang Xiaochuan, such as John D. Rockefeller.

If Rockefeller represented traditional industries, then David Young and Steve Jobs represented modern technology. These two men built a vast business empire in just over a decade.

Huang Xiaochuan's scope is even wider, encompassing both traditional industries and modern new technology industries, and he has achieved great success in both, which demonstrates that Huang Xiaochuan is a business genius.

Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan rarely appears in business social activities. All business activities are attended by his senior executives, except for academic activities. However, academic activities have a high threshold, and not everyone is qualified to attend. At the very least, you need an invitation.

Bian Wo also wanted to repair his relationship with Huang Xiaochuan. He regretted it very much. In theory, he and Huang Xiaochuan were high school classmates and had been together for three years. He was much better off than many others. Even if we don't talk about the advantage of proximity, he should still be able to meet up.

It's a pity he played such a good hand so badly, all because of some trivial matter from his school days. Looking back now, it was incredibly naive. With money and power, what kind of woman couldn't he find? He didn't even need to look; plenty of women would throw themselves at him.

So when he learned that Huang Xiaochuan had agreed to attend the class reunion, he immediately thought that this was a great opportunity to repair the relationship. So he had to plan carefully and he had to get on this good side. On the other hand, he also wanted to know the source of Huang Xiaochuan's funds.

"Bian Wo, Mr. Bian?" A voice interrupted Bian Wo's thoughts.

Seeing that Bian Wo was stunned for a long time, Liu Yun couldn't help but call out to him.

"Oh! Something just came to mind."

Liu Yun is now a marketing specialist at a company. Of course, her company is a world-renowned corporation, "Xitao Company," which is famous for providing the highest quality sanitary ware to high-end consumers.

She associated with Bian Wo because she wanted to leverage their old classmate relationship to expand her business. After all, Zhengtai Real Estate's high-end, fully-furnished residential projects were a huge market opportunity. If she could secure the sanitary ware orders for these projects, the commissions would be substantial. Of course, if she could also get close to Huang Xiaochuan and secure the sanitary ware orders for Guangda Real Estate's high-end projects, then the position of marketing director for Xitao Huaxia District would be hers.

"Mr. Bian, old classmate, about that matter of mine, what do you think?" Liu Yun took the opportunity to make her request.

"As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Let's talk about this after the New Year. And let me make this clear: if your company can't advance the funds to supply the goods, then let's not discuss this anymore." Bian Wo returned to his business-oriented mindset, showing no consideration for his old classmate.

Liu Yun was somewhat annoyed, but since she needed her help, she could only continue to put on a smiling face.
