Chapter 357: The Elite's Take on Liyuan Farm! Lei Xiaojun's Grand Entrance
The Shanghai Shengyuan Business Summit was an informal gathering of business tycoons, a private affair among the industry's top players.
Their discussions were wide-ranging, covering various topics. They talked about industry trends, such as the impact and opportunities presented by emerging technologies like artificial intelligence in manufacturing and FinTech in banking.
They also shared their insights on the macroeconomic environment, discussing the influence of economic cycles on corporate strategic layouts and the role of interest rate fluctuations in investments.
Additionally, they delved into business cooperation, exploring potential collaborative projects, including resource-sharing and synergistic partnerships. They discussed their visions for cooperation and the challenges they might encounter.
Management experience was another key focus, as they exchanged ideas on corporate management, such as how to build an efficient team and establish a positive company culture.
Of course, they also shared confidential information and insights about upper-level policies.
Contrary to the perception of intense rivalry, the relationship among these tycoons was surprisingly amicable. Even those who appeared to be fierce competitors in the public eye might hold shares in the same company.
The summit was held in one of Shanghai's most renowned business clubs, an exclusive venue with a membership fee of several million yuan per year, accessible only to the wealthy elite.
Each floor within the club had its own entry restrictions. The top floor, in particular, was off-limits to ordinary millionaires and required special invitations.
Lei Xiaojun, being among the privileged few, was escorted to the top floor upon his arrival. The public had many speculations about this floor, imagining extravagant decorations and unbelievable services.
However, once inside, one would find a simple and rustic ambiance. The decor was minimal, featuring a grand hall and facilities designed to promote tranquility, such as mini-golf, a library, and various offices.
These offices were provided for the tycoons to use whenever they needed to work. Compared to the luxurious and grand lower floors, the top floor exuded a sense of returning to simplicity.
Over a dozen people were already seated, engaged in lively conversations, sharing stories and laughing. Indeed, it was a rare occasion for them to chat so casually.
In the outside world, they rarely found peers at their level. Many topics were either too advanced or too sensitive for others to join, leaving them with a dignified and serious image in the public eye.
Here, among equals, they could relax and talk like old friends. A project proposal could be decided over a cup of tea, with each tycoon contributing billions, all in the spirit of fun and camaraderie.
Whether it turned a profit or not was of little concern. Success meant another lucrative venture, while failure was just another enjoyable experience. After all, a small loss was insignificant in their eyes.
As Lei Xiaojun entered, he was greeted by the group. "Old Ren, Old Wang, Old Yu..." he responded to each of them.
With a beaming smile, he sat down and engaged in conversation with one of the tycoons. They had a project together, with each investing 15 billion yuan. It was a casual idea they had previously discussed, and now was the perfect time to finalize the details and send their teams to execute it.
Just as they finished their conversation, the topic shifted to the recent special policies and their impact on their companies.
The conversation naturally turned to the latest trends and profitable ventures, and the group casually discussed various projects, with no intention of pursuing them.
To them, these ventures were insignificant, not worth their attention.
But to an outsider, hearing these projects mentioned would be like a beacon of opportunity. In today's society, many have the means but lack investment opportunities.
These projects, casually mentioned by the elites, could be the very path to success for ordinary people, yet they seemed to dismiss their potential.
The topic shifted to Liyuan Farm, with one person exclaiming, "That farm is truly remarkable! Whether it's the hard-to-replicate whitening sweet potatoes or the soybean cooperative, they're extraordinary projects."
Another chimed in, "Indeed, the soybean market is vast, and with their technology, they could quickly dominate. I wish I'd heard about it sooner; I might have invested."
An older gentleman inquired, "Is there a way to acquire shares from the shareholders or become an investor in the farm?"
Lei Xiaojun smiled, "That's unlikely. Zhang Boss doesn't need more funds, and the farm is officially led by Yu City authorities."
"Don't underestimate Yu City's local government; they hold considerable influence in Fujin Province."
This statement piqued everyone's interest, and someone joked, "Lei, it seems your time at Liyuan Farm wasn't wasted. You're quite informed about them."
The group's expressions turned thoughtful upon hearing Lei's words, indicating one of two possibilities: either Lei was well-informed or he had already invested in Liyuan Farm.
However, this didn't concern them, as they were merely discussing ideas without any intention to invest.
There are countless projects in the world, and at their level, they only take action for unicorn-level opportunities.
Otherwise, their existing business is already a unicorn.
Lei Xiaojun quickly changed the subject, "I suggest you all spend some time at the Mountain Spring Wellness Center at Liyuan Farm. The wellness effects there are truly remarkable."
"So much so that you're promoting it, Lei?" teased one of the tycoons.
Lei waved his hand dismissively, "Just understand that the effects are powerful."
After all, those who experience it will know.
His nonchalant attitude surprised the group, sparking their curiosity about the Mountain Spring Wellness Center.
Everyone knew Lei Xiaojun to be a pragmatic man, and his endorsement hinted at the center's exceptional qualities.
Given the chance, they would certainly pay it a visit.
"I'll brew another pot of tea!" La Ren smiled, "Some leaves from those two tea trees recently made their way to me, and I managed to get my hands on some. Feel free to help yourselves when you visit next time; no need to stand on ceremony."
The group chuckled, and someone joked, "So, it was you, La Ren, who got there first."
"Since the promotion of those two trees stopped, their tea leaves have become even rarer."
"True, while it was scarce before, it wasn't hard to come by. Now, we have to compete for it."
"..."
Lei Xiaojun's face lit up with a smile upon hearing this, and he quickly coughed.
It was time for him to show off.
