Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 238 - 193: Acquiring the Automobile Factory
As soon as they come up, they want him to arrange something like a managerial position with a starting salary of ten or twenty thousand a month. Yi Anguo really doesn’t want to spoil them anymore.
If they want to do it, they should start from the bottom. If they’re willing, they can do it; if not, then forget it.
Unless it’s someone he knows very well, like Yi Junmin, who grew up with him and went to school together, his nephew Fu Wei, or a few cousins and nieces, Yi Anguo is willing to personally mentor them. But for others, where does he have the time to keep them by his side!
At most, he would just give them an opportunity. Whether they can succeed depends on themselves.
Even if he is willing to personally mentor them, if they don’t have the ability and can’t amount to much, he won’t force it.
As for the idea of everyone getting a share or how much money each relative gets? Don’t even think about it. Even if Yi Anguo has a lot of money, it’s impossible to distribute it whenever he sees someone.
A bushel of rice is grace, but a dou of rice creates enmity. How can something be gained without effort?
Unless the family is in real difficulty, an unexpected event occurs, money is urgently needed, they’re too old, and they lack labor power, that’s another matter. But for those who are able-bodied and young, directly giving hundreds of thousands is impossible.
Moreover, for some people, doing so might not help them; it might even harm them.
As the saying goes, help in emergencies, not in poverty, alleviating poverty is not just about giving money for them to spend. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Besides, when he decided to invest in developing a tourism resort and scenery area in his hometown and also invest in a film city, it was equivalent to taking care of the local people and alleviating poverty in his hometown.
From now on, unless they are those who just eat and do nothing, they won’t be poor. As long as they’re willing to do something, they can certainly earn money.
Yi Anguo also doesn’t have time to stay too long in his hometown. Under Chen Ting’s arrangement, he took time to meet the local leaders of the town, Jian’an, and Ming Yue, and finalized the investment projects for developing Fairy Maiden Peak tourism scenery resort and film city.
Additionally, he added the investment project for building the Blue Coast online supermarket customer service center.
Afterward, he went to the provincial capital to visit Huafeng Industrial Park and attended the opening ceremony of Huafeng Industrial National Investment Production. He also inspected the investment environment in the provincial capital.
When Yi Anguo expressed interest in acquiring an automobile manufacturing plant, Xijiang Province held a meeting overnight.
The Anguo Group has already powerfully entered the new energy sector, investing in new energy batteries and lithium mines. This is no longer a secret, and many speculate that Anguo Group intends to enter the car manufacturing industry and is likely to directly acquire an automobile manufacturing plant, following in the footsteps of BYD’s model.
There aren’t many car-making enterprises in Xijiang Province, and the automotive industry isn’t developed. The few car brands that exist aren’t very competitive. Xijiang Province’s Jianghe Automobile Manufacturing Plant once flourished in the ’90s, achieving the remarkable feat of being the country’s leader in micro-car production and sales for six consecutive years.
However, in recent years, Jianghe Automobile Manufacturing Plant has been declining, and its business operations are not in ideal condition.
Despite this, the management rights of Jianghe Automobile Plant do not belong to the local government of Xijiang Province but are under a centrally governed military enterprise.
However, now the situation has changed. There are preparations to restructure Jianghe Automobile Manufacturing Plant, planning to merge it into Chang’an Automobile Group.
The Xijiang Province side certainly does not wish for Jianghe Automobile Manufacturing Plant to merge into Chang’an Automobile Group, as it does not benefit the overall economy of Xijiang Province and might even affect the local GDP of Xijiang Province.
If it can be acquired and then sold to Anguo Group for restructuring, with investment from Anguo Group, it would undoubtedly be most beneficial to Xijiang Province.
Moreover, Xijiang Province could hold some shares, deeply binding itself with Anguo Group and bringing in more investment from them.
Yi Anguo doesn’t know if he can succeed, but automotive manufacturing plants nationwide are numerous, and eventually, he should be able to acquire one. For now, there’s no rush; even waiting a few more years is no big deal.
Lastly, he bought a piece of land in the newly developed area of the provincial capital of Xijiang Province, intending to develop and build Xijiang Province’s Anjing Times Square, creating a landmark building in Xijiang Province.
"I think Anguo Group should establish a commercial real estate development company. Since we are already engaging in commercial real estate projects, there’s no need to hand the engineering over to someone else for them to make the money!"
Upon learning that Yi Anguo planned to buy land in Xijiang Province’s capital and build Anjing Square, Hu Jing couldn’t help but suggest to Yi Anguo.
"You’re building Anjing Times Square in Xijiang Province. I estimate that in other places, you might also want to build Anjing Times Square to develop the commercial real estate economy. Moreover, in the long run, this economic model should have great development prospects."
Yi Anguo smiled helplessly and said, "It’s just that I don’t want too much hassle! If others develop it for us and we take over directly, isn’t that better?"
"What kind of boss are you, letting others handle the development and construction just because you’re afraid of the trouble? But how much more investment and cost does that mean? Have you calculated?" Hu Jing said, a bit frustrated.
"It’s like opening franchise stores of Anjing Convenience Stores. Naturally, the investing owner saves a lot of hassle. From store selection to opening, we have full service, but we’re not a charity, nor can we open stores for them for free. So we certainly have to make money from them."
"Last year, you spent money to buy a lot of land and let Blue Coast Real Estate Development Company develop it. They processed it a bit; it’s not possible that they didn’t make money."
"But actually, weren’t they also using your money to hire design companies to design and construction teams to build."
"We might as well hire design companies for design and construction teams for building, handle the development ourselves. Wouldn’t that save a lot of costs?"
"Well! It seems I’m really not a qualified boss. Why don’t you just come over to help me manage the entire Anguo Group; I’ll just focus on investing and making money." Yi Anguo said with a cheerful smile.
"I see you manage Anjing Trade Company quite effortlessly."
"I can manage so effortlessly; isn’t it because of what you taught me?" Hu Jing said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"You taught me to delegate power, not to be afraid of trial and error, to establish a complete company management system. As long as there’s no problem with the company’s management system, even if I don’t go to the company for a year, occasionally controlling the management from home, there won’t be any issue."
"You’re worrying too much, always afraid others won’t do well, never feeling at ease with others, which is why you’re making yourself so tired."
"But even if you make yourself so tired, the efficiency isn’t high; perhaps it’s clear to spectators. When you’re in it, it’s a bit unclear."
"Is that so?" Yi Anguo felt a bit puzzled.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to let go; it’s just that he feels he’s reborn, possessing too many advantages, able to foresee the future.
Thus, when there are deviations in company management, not aligning with his expectations, and not achieving the results he desires, he can’t help but intervene.
Conversely, for the Anjing Trade Company managed by Hu Jing, he directly adopted a hands-off approach, essentially not intervening in its operation and development. Only when Hu Jing sought his opinion did he make some guidance and control the overall direction of development.
It was as if he planted seeds with intention but had no results, while the willows planted unintentionally thrived. In his absence of management, Anjing Trade Company’s development surprisingly went smoothly.
Moreover, in the past two years, Hu Jing has primarily focused her efforts on taking care of several children, without spending too much effort on the company management, yet the company continues to run smoothly.
Additionally, its development speed is increasing, and the economic benefits achieved are getting better and better. It could be said that even if Hu Jing doesn’t manage the company’s affairs at all now, the company can still operate normally and well.
But is it really as simple as Hu Jing says? What suits Anjing Trade Company’s model doesn’t necessarily suit the entire Anguo Group!
However, Hu Jing’s suggestion indeed isn’t wrong; establishing a Anjing Commercial Real Estate Development Company is a good option. Building several commercial complexes like Wanda Plaza in major cities.
Even though it may not work well in the future, at least before 2018, it’s an excellent idea.
At most, cash out and exit before 2018, transitioning from heavy assets to light assets, and there’s no issue with that.
Especially before 2016, when online shopping wasn’t that prevalent, the annual rental income from commercial real estate was quite substantial.
