Chapter 407
Zhou Zhixiang's goal was to have Chen Yang step forward to solve the temporary economic problems of the real estate developers in Qingshui City. Whether it was in the form of investment or land mortgage, it actually didn't matter.
He immediately agreed to Chen Yang's terms on behalf of those developers.
Thus, under Zhou Zhixiang's arrangement, Chen Yang met again with those few real estate tycoons from Qingshui City whom he had bid against at the previous auction.
Hearing that it was about mortgaging land, the several tycoons were not very willing. They all knew that Zhang Daguo had his land forcibly auctioned off because he couldn't repay his debt to Zhixin Group. They didn't want to become a second Zhang Daguo.
The several tycoons privately discussed it and finally decided not to accept Chen Yang's financial support. They all assured Zhou Zhixiang that they would rely on their own strength to get the project off the ground.
This left Zhou Zhixiang feeling a bit embarrassed. He had painstakingly persuaded Chen Yang to come forward and support the other party's project, but in the end it came to nothing.
But he couldn't get angry, because the other party was still proceeding with the real estate project plan for Qingshui City according to his request.
In the end, Zhou Zhixiang could only apologize to Chen Yang. But before parting, he didn't forget to remind Chen Yang to implement the new factory construction plan for the ordinary people's feed plant as soon as possible.
Chen Yang readily agreed in order to get rid of Zhou Zhixiang's entanglement as soon as possible.
After all, the success of the reform of Qingshui City's feed plant benefited not only Zhou Zhixiang but also Kong Jie.
As long as the future Party Secretary of Qingshui City, Kong Jie, grants his request, that will be enough.
Moreover, with this meeting with Zhou Zhixiang, Chen Yang's crisis in Qingshui City was temporarily resolved. As long as Qingshui City's real estate industry doesn't run into trouble, the other side shouldn't come looking for his trouble again.
Since Lin Wei's work in Shuangfeng Town was becoming increasingly busy, sometimes she didn't even return home, Chen Yang decided to first go to Xingcheng to handle the construction project of the branch of the Ordinary People Meat Industry Co., Ltd.
Regarding Chen Yang's return, the Party Secretary of Jiangmen Town, Yuan Wei, and the Town Mayor Wang were both very happy.
Mayor Wang said to Chen Yang, "Director Chen, the relocation issue for the town's residents has already been settled. As soon as your project launches, we will immediately have them move."
Chen Yang didn't want to encounter trouble similar to that in Shuangfeng Town again, so he immediately said to him, "Mayor Wang, you should first settle the residents' relocation issue! I don't want the company project to encounter unnecessary trouble after it starts."
Upon hearing this, Mayor Wang not only didn't get angry but also showed a happy smile. The more serious Chen Yang was, the faster he indicated the project would launch. He immediately led people to handle the relocation work.
And his efficiency was very high; it only took two days for the relocation issue in Jiangmen Town to be completely resolved.
To show support for Yuan Wei and Mayor Wang's work, Chen Yang promised that after the branch is built, priority consideration will be given to arranging jobs for the residents of Jiangmen Town.
This decision received applause and support from all the leading cadres of Jiangmen Town, including Yuan Wei and Mayor Wang.
Although Jiangmen Town is about to be abolished and turned into a district, its economy is still primarily agricultural, and the residents' incomes are generally low. If they could work at the Ordinary People Meat Industry Co., Ltd., at least part of their income could be increased.
Chen Yang communicated with Shen Anna, and finally decided to entrust the branch project to Zhao Feiyang's construction company for completion.
Although Chen Yang is more familiar with Liu Shijie, the latter's main forces are all in Qingshui City. Moreover, the headquarters project of the Ordinary People Agricultural Products Trading Company at Xingcheng South Railway Station is also being taken over by Liu Shijie and has not yet been fully completed.
However, when Chen Yang went to Xinghui Financial Investment Company, he was immediately entangled by Yexin.
"Chen Yang, the stock you recommended is no good! This CNPC stock has been stuck ever since it rose to 1.6 Hong Kong dollars per share. Do you think I should sell it, or wait for it to keep rising?"
While Yexin was speaking, Lan Qiyun also stared at Chen Yang without blinking. Obviously, she also wanted to know how Chen Yang viewed the prospects of this CNPC stock.
Chen Yang said to them, "The CNPC stock price is stagnant because the stock god Warren Buffett is accumulating shares. Once he finishes accumulating, the CNPC stock price will see a slight increase. However, if you can steady your temperament and hold it long-term, its returns will surely exceed your imagination."
Yexin's understanding of the stock market is now much stronger than before. Upon hearing that Buffett is accumulating shares, she immediately had a new idea: "Chen Yang, if we compete with the stock god for shares, will the CNPC stock price rise even faster?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "In theory, your judgment should be correct. But there is also another possibility: that Buffett thinks CNPC is not worth his high-price share accumulation. He might stop buying CNPC stock, and possibly even withdraw his investment in this stock."
Upon hearing this, Yexin hesitated again.
At this moment, Lan Qiyun suddenly interjected, "Senior, is the rise in CNPC's stock price due to the stock god's investment, or is it due to its own factors?"
Chen Yang said, "As a benchmark of the stock market, Buffett's participation will definitely have some influence on the stock price increase, but more importantly, it's still CNPC's own factors."
Upon hearing this, Lan Qiyun immediately made a decision: "Since the impact of CNPC's own value on the stock price rise is greater, we can completely compete with the stock god for shares. The more shares we accumulate, the greater the returns."
Chen Yang gave Lan Qiyun a thumbs-up. Daring to compete with the stock god Buffett for shares is indeed like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.
Yexin then said to Chen Yang, "Do you want to buy CNPC stock together?"
"You go ahead and buy; I'll watch the situation and join later." Chen Yang shook his head. His funds had all been used to buy McDonald's stock, and it happens to be in a rebound phase now. There's no need to switch to CNPC for a little profit.
Yexin heard this and also did not insist. After all, US stocks are T+O trading; as long as Chen Yang is willing to get involved, there is always time.
That night, Lan Qiyun quickly bought PetroChina shares as soon as the US stock market opened. Before the close, she successfully bought 100 million shares of PetroChina.
PetroChina's share price also rose from 1.6 Hong Kong dollars to 2 Hong Kong dollars due to the competition between Lan Qiyun and Buffett.
This result made Yexin very satisfied.
And Chen Yang was not idle either; in one evening he sold 40 million shares of McDonald's stock at an average price of $14.
The next evening he sold the remaining 38 million shares of McDonald's stock at an average price of $13.5.
After the transactions were completed, Chen Yang's account total funds rose to $1,071,927,000.
Currently the exchange rate of the US dollar to the renminbi is 1:8.27.
That is, Chen Yang's available funds in HSBC amount to 88,064,836,000 yuan.
Besides that, he also still holds 10 million shares of a certain company's stock that he has not sold.
Once all the stocks are completely liquidated, his total overseas assets will exceed 10 billion.
Of course, Chen Yang currently has no intention of making this sum of money public.
