Chapter 867 - The Big Shots of the Physical Economy

After speaking, Wang Congcong, wearing a happy smile, led Jiang Cheng toward Richest Man Wang.

As they approached, they could see a circle of people gathered around Richest Man Wang.

The aura emanating from these people was distinctly different from ordinary guests; they were clearly all influential figures.

They were holding red wine glasses, chatting enthusiastically, and occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.

This kind of atmosphere only appeared when people of equal status and standing gathered.

In contrast, those who had just handed their business cards to Jiang Cheng...

Even if they managed to elicit a smile from a big shot during their conversation,

They could only maintain politeness and restraint, daring not to laugh so unrestrainedly.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Cheng got closer, he recognized a few familiar faces.

These included Xu Jiayin of Daheng and Wang Shi of Kewan. Jiang Cheng did not recognize the others.

Upon seeing Wang Congcong lead Jiang Cheng over, Richest Man Wang immediately put down his wine glass and waved warmly at Jiang Cheng: "Jiang Cheng, come here quickly!"

"Uncle, hello everyone. Thank you all for coming."

As one of the organizing companies today, there was no problem with Jiang Cheng saying this.

Richest Man Wang laughed heartily, put his arm around Jiang Cheng, and said to the others: "None of you should have met him yet. This is the boss of Xingchen. I just invited him to my house for dinner a few days ago."

Hearing the importance and expectation Richest Man Wang placed on Jiang Cheng in his words, the others were all surprised.

Immediately afterward, Richest Man Wang, just like last time, took great care of Jiang Cheng and proactively introduced everyone to him.

"This is CEO Xu of Daheng, Xu Jiayin, this year's richest man."

After Richest Man Wang made the playful remark, Xu Jiayin smiled and nudged him.

He then spoke up: "So you are CEO Jiang. You are indeed young. If CEO Wang hadn't said anything, I would definitely have thought you were just a friend of Congcong's. A pleasure to meet you."

Seeing Xu Jiayin extend his hand towards him, Jiang Cheng politely shook it back.

Jiang Cheng had a very poor impression of Daheng.

After all, Daheng Group was not like Dawen.

Although everyone was in real estate.

But after the real estate bubble burst a few years later, Dawen was still able to sell off assets to pay off debts.

Daheng, however, directly absconded with the money and fled abroad.

How much hard-earned money from ordinary Huaxia citizens was harvested by the Xu family this way?

Moreover, Daheng's operations were extremely malicious.

They never built in super-tier large cities, but instead continuously hoarded land in third and fourth-tier cities.

In the end, all the money they took belonged to ordinary, lower-class citizens.

Many homebuyers suffered huge losses because of this, and some even chose suicide because they couldn't bear the pressure.

This was the most hateful aspect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's internal rating of Daheng dropped a few more points.

"CEO Xu, welcome." Jiang Cheng replied very briefly.

Next, Richest Man Wang turned to look at the other gentleman beside him and introduced: "This is the President of Kewan Group, Wang Shi."

Hearing this, Wang Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He immediately waved his hand: "Strictly speaking, I am no longer the President of Kewan. I stepped down a few months ago. Now I am just a poor man."

After saying that, Wang Shi also cast a congratulatory look at Jiang Cheng and said, "CEO Jiang, congratulations! I hope your project goes smoothly and achieves complete success."

Jiang Cheng quickly responded: "Thank you, Senior. I'll take your auspicious words."

Wang Shi and Wang Congcong had one thing in common: they were both quite active online.

Just as he said, in June of this year, Wang Shi was schemed against by other partners in the Company. He was not only driven out but also stripped of his decision-making power.

Since then, Wang Shi officially left the management of Vanke.

The Company he founded and managed for 33 years had thus fallen into the hands of others.

Although ironic, that is the nature of commercial warfare.

Wealth is even more so. Those who can seize opportunities and become rich are numerous, but those who can guard their wealth from beginning to end and pass it down continuously are extremely few.

It is often said that wealth does not pass three generations.

Just like these big shots standing here now.

Although they currently control the physical economy of Huaxia.

But how many of these people will be able to enjoy their later years a few years from now?

People will always grow old, while young people will constantly emerge.

The waves behind push the waves ahead; the waves ahead die on the beach.

This is the law of nature, and the inevitable trend of social development.

As a successful person, one must not only know how to create wealth but, more importantly, learn how to inherit and guard it.

Only in this way can the long-term prosperity of the family be ensured.

Aside from a few local real estate tycoons in Jingdu whom Jiang Cheng did not know...

A few years later, Richest Man Wang, who was present, would sell the Dawen headquarters to pay off debts.

The Xu father and son would go directly to prison. As for Wang Shi, he had already retreated to the second line and would later just live off his pension.

His shares were diluted to a negligible amount.

Biyuan also did not escape misfortune and was teetering on the brink.

Just then, Huang Sheng walked over smiling, greeting Richest Man Wang and the others one by one.

Although Huang Sheng was not considered a super giant in the Jingdu real estate industry, his projects were quite excellent, and he had good connections.

If not for this, how could he have invited so many big shots to attend today?

Seeing Richest Man Wang and Jiang Cheng so familiar, even affectionately embracing Jiang Cheng, a hint of surprise rose in Huang Sheng's heart.

He had naturally heard about this business partner.

It was rumored that Jiang Cheng had a powerful background.

Seeing this scene now, the rumors seemed to be confirmed.

Although their Hetai was considered a major real estate Company in Jingdu, its strength was indeed inferior compared to super enterprises like Dawen and Daheng.

Even in conversations on normal days, he could only stand on the side.

However, at this moment, he was pushed into the center by Richest Man Wang.

Not only Huang Sheng noticed this detail, but Xu Jiayin also sensed something unusual.

As someone who built a super-large enterprise from scratch, he had acute insight into reading people and situations.

Seeing Richest Man Wang promote Jiang Cheng so highly, he couldn't help but start re-examining the young man before him.

After the group chatted for a while, Xu Jiayin waved toward a young man not far away.

They saw a man slightly older than him walk toward them.

At this moment, Wang Congcong, who was standing nearby, showed obvious impatience on his face and rolled his eyes without concealment.
