Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 568 Frog in a Well! Why should I, Zhao Ruilong, waste my time arguing with you?

"Hey, what are you standing there for?"

"Hurry up and give your boarding pass to the lady!"

"Or just tell me your seat number!"

Tang Jiayue was very excited.

His excitement wasn't just because of Zhao Ruilong, his old classmate whom he had been classmates with for four years in college, and then hadn't seen for more than ten years before their reunion.

He was also convinced that Zhao Ruilong, who was involved in engineering projects and real estate development, was definitely not clean and was highly likely to immigrate through investment, making him a major client worth currying favor with.

That's why he boarded the plane so quickly and spent a full two thousand yuan to find someone to change his seat.

Today's direct flight from Jingzhou to Yanjing, a business class ticket costs less than two thousand yuan.

In China, where the average monthly income of urban residents is only a few hundred yuan, two thousand yuan is certainly not a small amount.

He spent so much money to upgrade Zhao Ruilong from economy class to business class, not to make Zhao Ruilong's journey more comfortable, but to sit with Zhao Ruilong so they could chat more easily.

If the cooperation is actually reached, the two thousand yuan for changing seats will naturally be a drop in the ocean!

When Ni Zhiping came to her senses, she was naturally extremely embarrassed.

Who is Zhao Ruilong?

That person was Ni Zhiping's great benefactor, her living god of wealth, and also a major shareholder of her company!

Back then, Tsai Chenggong's Dafeng Factory was poorly managed and had poor performance, so he sought out Chen Yanshi, the former chief prosecutor who had helped restructure Dafeng Factory many years ago.

Even after retiring, Chen Yanshi continued to work, using his extensive network of contacts accumulated over the years to get many enterprises and institutions in Handong to order clothing from Dafeng Factory.

Chen Yanshi's actions not only severely impacted the garment industry in Handong, but also blatantly damaged the business environment and hindered the implementation of high-quality development plans.

In response, Zhao Ruilong devised a plan to turn the tables on Zhao Ruilong.

This prompted many small and medium-sized business owners, including Ni Zhiping, to rush to the nursing home and kneel down to beg Chen Yanshi for help. With so many people asking for his assistance, Chen Yanshi became so angry that he fell ill and was hospitalized.

After this incident, Dafeng Factory accelerated its decline, while Ni Zhiping, who had latched onto Zhao Ruilong's coattails, soared to great heights.

In particular, she is a person who listens to advice. She listened to Zhao Ruilong's advice and did not only think about earning hard-earned money. She focused on technological innovation, worked hard to build her own brand, and devoted herself to the continuous research and development of special clothing.

With the rapid development of Huilong Group, Ni Zhiping's company also grew rapidly and became a listed company. Every year, it can make a considerable profit just by supplying a large number of electronic companies with anti-static work clothes and cleanroom garments.

but……

Having lived a frugal life for most of her life, Ni Zhiping readily agreed when someone offered to pay her two thousand yuan to switch seats. As a self-made boss, she certainly wouldn't let go of such an easy opportunity to make money.

But she never expected that she would have to switch seats with Zhao Ruilong!

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhao, I didn't know he was changing seats for you. Please, please sit down, I..."

As Ni Zhiping spoke, she quickly handed the money she was holding, which she hadn't even had time to put into her handbag, back to Tang Jiayue.

"What do you mean? Didn't we agree on two thousand?"

"I don't want it anymore! I'd be overjoyed to be able to switch seats with President Zhao!"

After saying that, Ni Zhiping turned around and went to the economy class section at the back.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhao Ruilong glanced at his boarding pass.

"My seat is on the 30th floor, which I think is the last row."

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Ni Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked towards the economy class section at the back.

Without hesitation, Zhao Ruilong immediately sat down in the window seat that originally belonged to Ni Zhiping.

The reason I was so blunt with Ni Zhiping was that there was absolutely no need to be polite.

He has helped her a lot over the years and is also a major shareholder in her company. Otherwise, she would still be a small clothing business owner, how could she have a net worth of billions?

If I were to be polite and courteous to her and refuse to let her change seats, it would only make things difficult for her, and she might even overthink things. It would also delay other passengers from boarding.

Since we're close friends, why be so formal?

The business class was already full, and even if the two guards wanted to stay with Zhao Ruilong, there were no seats available.

After signaling to the two that they didn't need to worry, Zhao Ruilong fastened his seatbelt and took out his phone to turn it off.

As for Tang Jiayue...

He flicked a wad of cash in his hand and sat down with a look of curiosity in his eyes.

"So you two know each other!"

Zhao Ruilong put away his phone and gave a nonchalant "hmm".

"She seems to treat you more than just politely; she even seems a bit awe-inspiring. What's going on? Are you her client?"

"Yes, she's in the clothing business and supplies me with a lot of work uniforms every year."

Faced with the passionate Tang Jiayue, Zhao Ruilong, who dislikes showing off and seeking a sense of superiority, once again chose to 'downplay' the situation.

Since he didn't know Ni Zhiping, didn't know that he was the behind-the-scenes boss of Huilong Group, and didn't know how powerful and influential his father, Zhao Lichun, was, he was completely unaware of the situation.

Now the two of them are just on the same flight to Yanjing. After they get off the plane, they may never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime, so why should he say anything more?

"Oh, I see. No wonder she looked at you like a mouse seeing a cat!"

Tang Jiayue chuckled as he put the money away, then quickly stepped aside and said:

"Your business is really big now! You must easily make hundreds of millions a year, right?"

Zhao Ruilong shook his head slightly.

"Where can you make hundreds of millions? Many projects are still receiving continuous investment; it's a long way off before you can make money!"

"The more you invest, the more you earn!"

Tang Jiayue crossed his legs and looked at Zhao Ruilong from the side, saying, "I know that the domestic economy is developing very fast and housing prices are rising sharply, but the real estate regulation policies are also quite strict."

"The government doesn't regard real estate as a pillar industry of the national economy, and banks don't provide enough low-interest loans to real estate companies. It's really too difficult for companies to sell completed properties by raising their own funds."

"However, this also has its advantages. A high enough capital threshold will force many small and medium-sized real estate companies to either band together for survival or be eliminated from the market, which will reduce the competitive pressure on you."

"Another benefit for ordinary people is that they don't have to worry about buying an unfinished house, emptying their savings and taking on a mortgage only to find that they can't get the house in time. And the quality is guaranteed."

Zhao Ruilong frowned and said, "Don't you live in France for a long time? How do you know so much about the domestic real estate market?"

Tang Jiayue laughed and said, "I have a client who used to be in the real estate business. Before the new policy was introduced, he made a lot of money by using various financial means to develop many projects."

"With the introduction of new policies, tighter credit policies, and stricter regulations, he could no longer continue to do what he used to. In addition, he was also involved in other matters, so he simply immigrated."

Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.

Although Tang Jiayue's explanation was vague, Zhao Ruilong understood it immediately.

The so-called policy changes are just a pretext. The real reason for immigration is definitely related to illegal and criminal activities.

After all, under its strong promotion, China does not prioritize the development of the real estate industry, but it does not prohibit its development; rather, it promotes its healthy and orderly development.

If one has sufficient resources and is willing to develop and construct legally and compliantly, one can still make a considerable profit given the booming economy and rising housing prices in China.

Those who say the new policies are too strict and will make it impossible for many real estate companies to survive are simply complaining about the difficulty in obtaining low-interest loans, the high risk of shoddy workmanship, and the long project payback period.

If we allow them to raise funds and take out loans at will, to play with financial leverage without restraint, to start pre-selling before even digging the foundation, and to engage in all sorts of shoddy workmanship, substandard products, and false advertising, won't it be ordinary people who suffer?

It's 2003 now, not 2023.

In a booming economy, who are they trying to fool by using new real estate policies as an excuse?

What truly terrified people into immigrating overseas with their families was clearly the deadly combination of anti-corruption and anti-organized crime campaigns!

But who exactly are Tang Jiayue's clients?

How much of the assets were actually transferred out?

How is life after immigrating?

Zhao Ruilong, who had no interest in immigrating overseas, naturally wouldn't ask any questions out of curiosity.

He, his father, and even the entire Zhao family had come to this point.

There's no reason to give up halfway.

Even if you do your best but still can't get what you want, it's not too late to consider a way out.

Zhao Ruilong pulled out the newspaper and began browsing today's 'Handong Daily'.

Yesterday was October 1st, National Day, and naturally, all kinds of news reports were related to the festival.

Turning to the second page, most of the page was filled with news reports related to the father, Zhao Lichun.

He not only went to the command center of the Public Security Bureau to understand the situation in various places in real time and to coordinate and direct units at all levels to ensure that people across the country could enjoy the National Day holiday, but also went to the front line of security, such as Yanjing Railway Station and long-distance bus station, to inspect and supervise the work.

"Although my father was transferred to Yanjing, the Handong Daily still attaches great importance to his news reports!"

"Not only did they dedicate such a large space to reporting on his work, but they also thoughtfully included many color photos. It's no wonder that Huilong Group invests so much in advertising every year!"

"In our Dragon Country, a society based on personal connections, money really can make the devil turn the millstone. As long as the benefits are right, what is there that is difficult or impossible to handle?"

While expressing his feelings, Zhao Ruilong did not read the news in detail.

This kind of news, which is similar to the rigid, formulaic style of classical Chinese writing, isn't really worth reading.

When browsing current affairs news, the most interesting part is not who made an appearance or what they did.

But who should have shown their face did not, and there was no news coverage for a long time.

of course.

Zhao Ruilong naturally wanted to take a closer look at the news about this year's Tianhai International Auto Show.

After all, so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources were spent helping several domestic car companies develop new energy vehicles.

If it can start to rise rapidly from here, then the new energy vehicle industry will be able to greatly promote technological development and industrial upgrading.

In another world, why is the country's industrial strength growing stronger and stronger, with all kinds of high-precision weapons and equipment appearing like dumplings being dropped into a pot?

One of the most important reasons is that years of continuous subsidies and support have enabled the rise of domestic new energy vehicles, driving progress in many industries.

The reason for such a strong driving effect is that the research and production of new energy vehicles can drive almost the entire industrial system, from metallurgy and chemical industry to electronic information, from precision manufacturing to industrial materials.

While automakers are constantly competing on appearance, features, performance, intelligent driving, price, and so on, related companies in the upstream and downstream industries are also constantly innovating, iterating their technologies, and optimizing their products...

Through continuous competition, the country's industrial strength has naturally been continuously improved.

Zhao Ruilong wants to replicate this successful model in this world according to his own ideas, making this Tianhai International Auto Show particularly important.

Although the heads of various car companies reported the day's success in a group chat last night and were quite satisfied with the orders they had secured, the actual situation still needs to be confirmed by news reports.
