Chapter 71 I Want to Return Home
Ah ha! Today's second update is here, the protagonist will be back soon, the excitement is about to begin, you can stop holding on now, take it down already?
Of course, Miss Lisa is not lacking in pursuers. A new generation of noble ladies with such excellent conditions is the target pursued by those idle and decadent dandies all day long. Many people who clearly know that Boss Chen Xiaoqi has no relationship with this beauty have put their minds on her, trying to get opportunities for advancement through this boss's trusted confidant. Moreover, if a woman with such great prospects can be married back home, it would be the ladder of success for oneself for life!
At the reception desk at the entrance of the "Mei Hua Experimental Laboratory" park, there were piles of fresh flowers every day, and various love letters filled with mushy words were stuffed into pockets by the dozen. In the end, these things were all distributed, thrown away, and burned by those clerks, because Lisa had become extremely annoyed and numb, she didn't even look at those letters, and there was no place to put those flowers either.
Those who have the privilege of frequently entering and exiting the Meihua office area, regardless of whether they are twenty or fifty-six years old, all have the opportunity to try to impress Miss Lisa. They dress elegantly, with a charming demeanor, smiling faces, and refined conversation, showing off their charm like peacocks spreading their tails in search of love, making Miss Lisa feel annoyed, yet unable to find anyone she likes among them. This situation continued until Thomas Anderson, the representative of the Rockefeller financial group, arrived.
Thomas has a big background, after all, behind his butt is the Rockefeller family, and his power is also great, able to decide on investments of hundreds of millions of dollars. However, his identity is very ordinary, a common American immigrant in this era, who graduated from Harvard University with excellent grades and performance, and joined the large financial group, struggling for ten years to reach his current position. But he is not a member of the Rockefeller family, nor even an in-law, so they sent him out to deal with Chen Xiaochi, this emerging nouveau riche, because Chen does not yet have the qualifications to directly negotiate face-to-face with the Rockefeller family. This statement is very hurtful, but it is reality, and you can't help but face it reluctantly.
Chen Xiaoqi was actually unwilling to confront the core members of these large family conglomerates directly, because he indeed had too little experience and qualifications. The result of colliding with these big sharks didn't need to be guessed, it would definitely be him who would end up in a bad situation. He hadn't even thought about going against those terrifying guys, those travelers who could deceive the big conglomerates with just one mouth and two legs must have had an extraordinary "turtle spirit". Could he really make them cooperate with just a small movement? No way, he couldn't do it. Just like now, he knew that the world's largest oil field was in the Persian Gulf, but he wouldn't dare say it out loud, because if he did, it would be impossible for others to cooperate with him, and more likely, he would quickly disappear from this world.
So far, Chen Xiaoqi has not touched the nerves of the big financial groups. Even though he already has a big enough reputation and sufficient military power to protect himself, he absolutely will not get involved in these unlucky matters. He even avoids getting into car manufacturing, not even touching the emerging forces like the Ford Group. The depth of the connections behind these people is unknown, it's better for him to focus on his own advanced inventions!
So, after the Luo conglomerate's petrochemical technology and equipment were pushed out, it was already quite rare for them to send this external senior staff member to deal with Chen Xiaoqi. Chen Xiaoqi had no opinion as long as the other party could buy his invention patents and products; he didn't care who signed the contract.
Thomas Anderson has been struggling to make a name for himself all these years, but he ended up alone and unmarried. He knew that in this place, those who were not married would not be able to get further promotion or reuse, and in Western culture, bachelors were synonymous with instability and unreliability. He was already old enough, and it was difficult to make progress without getting married. At this time, he met Miss Lisa, and the passion that had been accumulated for many years burst out.
It has to be said that Thomas is a pretty good young man, in his thirties, just starting out in life, successful career, looks not bad either, graduated from a prestigious university, although the family is not great, but this is America where they don't care about social status, and his success also qualifies him to enter high society, all in all, he seems like a pretty good candidate for a husband.
Miss Lisa, who is already quite old, finally found a guy who looks decent and not annoying. As they got to know each other better, the two fell deeply in love and before long, they were at the stage of discussing marriage within less than a year.
Chen Xiaoqi was delighted to see them together and naturally gave them his full support. As new collaborative projects unfolded, the two people with more convenient conditions also had ample space and time to deepen their feelings and improve their understanding. This was a huge stone in Chen Xiaoqi's heart that finally fell to the ground.
The massive "Global Logistics System" had its preliminary research and preparation work done by a team of 300 people in just three months, under the guidance of Chen Xiaoqi's detailed plan. With the support of Morgan Financial Group and US Steel, the four parties gathered talents, strictly divided labor, and cooperated to put tens of millions of dollars into practice. The final conclusion was thrilling - a new industry with annual profits of no less than $10 billion, an annual growth rate of no less than 20%, and sustainable development for at least 50 years, has now fully opened up to them!
Chen Xiaoqi's plan covered container shipping, modern logistics, express delivery, chain gas stations, chain shopping malls, and chain hotel restaurants. These industries have grown to a scale of over $100 billion in annual sales, almost dominating the world's civilian development. The number of industries, companies, personnel, and funds involved is astronomical. This is no longer just about monopolizing American highways and express delivery, but a terrifying network that dominates humanity!
Chen Xiaoqi's next plan eventually turned into hundreds of detailed descriptive materials, among which dozens of management subjects were born. This grassroots team will become a cradle for training new-generation enterprise managers and senior management talents in the long years to come, raising the status and strength of the four major financial groups to an unprecedented level that can never be surpassed. Just the other three major financial groups' daily excavation of financial resources from increasingly detailed plans is enough to make several families happy beyond words. In an era without global war and before the development of emerging electronic industries, the huge amount of funds accumulated in their hands had no better investment direction except for primary home appliances! Chen Xiaoqi's plan changed all this!
Chen Xiaoqi had maximized his estimated influence, but never thought that this plan would bring about such great changes. Within a few months, the four-party cooperative institution expanded repeatedly and finally had to establish a separate giant institution, occupying an entire building and countless branches, with increasing investment, and the level of people involved getting higher and higher, eventually becoming an important institution directly controlled by the core leaders of the three major financial groups. Chen Xiaoqi was promoted to be a master teacher responsible for explaining the key theories to these older elite, while Thomas became a gofer.
Chen Xiaoqi was just another university student who couldn't find a job in that era. He had a head full of advanced ideas for the times, but it was a bit difficult for him to express them clearly and logically. Even though he had been running his own business for several years and had honed his skills, he still didn't have the ability to control such a massive plan. His lectures to these elite individuals became discussions, and the concepts and ideas he put forward could only be simply explained. As for how to implement them specifically, that would require everyone's cooperation. In this environment, the "brainstorming" method of "mind storming" was born again, revolutionizing the management world once more. At this point, whether or not he was a master, his thick plan book had become a treasured "management bible" within the four major financial groups. It was a top-secret document, and people in each branch department could only see the part of their responsibilities and knowledge that they needed to know. If they wanted to be promoted, they would have to work hard.
Chen Xiaoqi's carefully planned idea eventually led to the establishment of three other major financial groups, giving birth to several management colleges that did not originally exist in later generations - specialized institutions within the financial group for cultivating their own reserve forces. And every time he gave a speech, he recorded it on the spot with his own invention, a vinyl record player, and finally filled an entire house. He spoke from morning till night without stopping, saying things that others couldn't say in three lifetimes. If he hadn't practiced qigong to cultivate his spirit every night, he would have probably died of exhaustion long ago.
From the end of 1923 to May 1924, Chen Xiaoqi had been treated this way until he felt that he had been thoroughly drained and was about to go crazy. Only then were the three major financial groups satisfied and let him off. Chen Xiaoqi immediately made a major decision - he wanted to return home!
