How did I become a god

Chapter 1696 Talented Individuals

Hearing this, Jing Gao nodded without commenting further, simply sipping his juice and eating the lobster handed to him by his beautiful and fiery assistant, Guo Qianqian.

Guo Qianqian really didn't want Wen Xiaoli to steal the spotlight, since she was also Brother Jing's woman, so she went to wash her hands and came over to help.

Wen Xiaoli, dressed in a beige silk dress, possessed the gentle grace of a mature 37-year-old woman and naturally wouldn't compete for attention with 22-year-old Guo Qianqian.

On the way here, Brother Jing kissed her so hard her breath tasted of Chinese medicine. She could feel his affection and tenderness for her. Their relationship was unspoken. Qianqian was still far from that level.

Qianqian's biggest "threat" is her mind.

Qianqian, a graduate of Zhejiang University, is currently taking on some of Zhang Li's work. This is Qianqian's irreplaceable role.

She doesn't need to "offend" Qianqian right now. If the husband doesn't contend, no one can contend with him.

The three people sitting beside Zhong Wu also possessed extraordinary bearing.

Wei Hong, born into the Wei family, is 30 years old, unmarried, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has a capable demeanor. He currently serves as the manager of a venture capital fund in a department under Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and is extremely astute in capital operations.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Jing, the news about Mingyuan Group's original liquor business raising funds in Shanghai has spread, and the market is very optimistic about it."

Jing Gao was a little surprised. "Oh?"

He intended to give Cheng Zhao's father, Cheng Herong, and others a share of the financing for the "Quanxing Daqu" project.

The "Yanshan Automobile" project was intended to bring in a circle of Hong Kong capital led by Xu Feng who were dependent on him.

Wei Hong smiled and said, "President Jing, the projects led by your company in Shenghai Beach are naturally viewed favorably by everyone. The consumption of baijiu (Chinese liquor) is also quite hot right now."

Fosun acquired the Shede and Jinhui brands and then profited handsomely from its stock market maneuvers.

If Fosun can do it, wouldn't it be even simpler for Phoenix Group to do it too?

Fang Yi is a 28-year-old woman with short, neat hair. She wears androgynous suits and trousers, is quick-witted, and has a small reputation in the technology venture capital field.

"Mr. Jing, don't underestimate your influence in the capital market! This debt restructuring of Mingyuan Group is your masterpiece, and all the capital in Shenghai Beach has bowed down to you."

Jing Gao laughed, finding the words pleasant to hear, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Pei Qian was the last of the four people sitting on the long sofa. He was Feng Xinjian's student, 26 years old, seemingly cynical and fashionable, like a playboy, but in reality he had an amazing insight into the consumer market and trend culture. His consulting firm was very famous in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Many companies seek out his company when conducting research on the consumer industry and trend culture.

This is the result of Feng Xinjian's long-term support for him, as well as the result of his personal efforts.

Pei Qian interjected, saying in a serious tone, "President Jing, it's true! The news that your strong-aroma baijiu business will raise some funds to expand and strengthen it came from within Mingyuan Group."

"The fact that even a mere insider piece of information has attracted the attention of Shenghai Beach Capital demonstrates your influence in the capital market."

Jing Gao couldn't help but laugh. He took the hot towel handed to him by the petite and beautiful Chu Wenjun, wiped his face, and leaned back on the sofa.

It seems these young talents from these families are quite capable! They actually guessed that his surprise just now stemmed from "where you got your information."

He only told Cheng Zhao to inform Cheng Herong. It's likely that Cheng Herong leaked the information while interacting with his inner circle.

Just as these talented individuals said: He now wields considerable influence in Sheng Hai's capital circles!

Old Cheng has such a "powerful tool," he won't not use it.

Zhong Wu, who was the de facto leader among them, said with a smile, "President Jing, we are here to discuss the development prospects of the liquor industry and the subsequent operations of Mingyuan Group."

Could you explain it to us? That way we can see if our thinking is correct.

A group of about a dozen people looked at Jing Gao with hopeful expressions. Jing Gao was quite self-aware; could he really advise these people in business?
That's not necessarily true!
He has rarely appeared in the media in recent years, nor has he expressed his business views to the public, because he has never been a business tycoon who fought his way up from nothing.

His business logic is basically copied!
JD.com's supply chain logic, Huawi's R&D, Alibaba's technology direction, Duan's "daring to be the best in the world", Lao Zong's "enterprises running society", and so on.

He has always had a learning mindset.

Where does he find the real skills of those bigwigs? To see through the fog of the future and know the future direction of business development?

His advantage is: he's rich!
Very rich.

Extremely, extremely, extremely rich!

That kind of wealth surpasses that of Middle Eastern princes, and exceeds the combined wealth of all the world's top billionaires. Anyone claiming to have an unlimited credit card is kidding me.
Therefore, this is the secret to his invincible success in every business battle, allowing him to stand at the pinnacle of the business world. It all boils down to one thing: "overpowering others with force!"
Jing Gao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Let's talk about romance, enjoy life, or chat about the hobbies of these old-timers in Shanghai."

Zhong Wu didn't mind being rejected; he adjusted very quickly and didn't let Jing Gao finish speaking. "Mr. Jing, I heard you play a game of football every week. What other hobbies do you have?"

Asking Mr. Jing why he doesn't invest in the booming Chinese football market is such a stupid question; he definitely wouldn't ask.

According to the information he had, Mr. Jing had previously invested in Leeds United, a Premier League club, but sold it for £5 million.

The investment climate in England is not good now; it's not like it was in 16.

Jing Gao said, "Does a supercar count? I just bought a Koenigsegg, and it's still parked at the Shanghai Supercar Club. Do you talented guys usually drive supercars?"

He doesn't actually like dangerous sports. He avoids extreme sports that many wealthy people enjoy, such as climbing Mount Everest or riding in helicopters.

There's still so much of life to enjoy!

But he really does enjoy driving supercars. What man doesn't like supercars?
Although his racing results were just so-so, the powerful push-back feeling and the thrill of speed are something that other sports simply cannot replicate.

Pei Qian, relying on his youth, spoke with a seemingly reckless but actually shrewd air: "President Jing, it's because they are all elite children from their respective families that none of them drive supercars. I, on the other hand, have owned a Ferrari. I wonder if I could join the Shanghai Supercar Club?"

Jing Gao laughed heartily, not finding the words offensive at all. He had become a super-rich man and had always wanted to live the life of a playboy!
He beckoned his underling Zhu Yu over, saying, "Little Zhu, you can be the middleman for Little Pei."

Zhu Yu said, "No problem. With all of you brothers joining us, Zhang Hu will be ecstatic." He was quite eloquent.

Although his family is somewhat wealthy, they are no match for the elite offspring of these old-money families.

The rest of them chimed in, "Young Master Zhu, we'd like to join too."

The scene was quite lively for a while.

Fang Yi, with her short hair, said with a smile, "President Jing, you talk to them about your hobbies, but they are not good listeners! They are a bunch of vulgar people who only know how to make money."

Could you please offer some guidance to us newcomers and help us identify the future business opportunities? This would allow us to avoid making the same mistakes we made.

Jing Gao smiled, took a sip of juice, and said, "Everyone here is a leader among the younger generation of their respective families, and you are all very knowledgeable."

"How to use capital to seize opportunities in emerging sectors, how to leverage information asymmetry and resources—you 'old money' types are probably far more familiar with these methods than I am."

Zhong Yulan crossed her legs and said with a smile, "President Jing, you are too modest. The business world of Shenghai has been turbulent for a hundred years, with countless stories of rise and fall, but those who can accomplish such a great feat in such a short time are extremely rare."

Don't you always say you have no talent in your pocket? Well, isn't that exactly what's happening right here?
You just need to subtly demonstrate your vision and insight to win their hearts and minds and make them willingly serve under you.

She is good friends with Fang Jie from Shuyun Club and understands Jing Gao's pain points very well.

Jing Gao listened and pondered for a moment.
