Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

The information in the document is all based on relevant data obtained from the investigation.

Since she promised Li Dong to handle this matter, she must know Li Ying's trump card.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Since it concerns the happiness of Li Dong and Song Ci, Li Zhihua dared not be careless.

Only by understanding Li Ying's capital base and industrial moat can a response strategy be formulated.

While the young lady who had left home did have some influence in Handong, so many years had passed and her influence was limited, so Li Zhihua was not particularly afraid of her.

Li Ying's current confidence likely stems from her achievements in business.

If this point isn't clarified, there won't be a way to confront Li Ying face-to-face later.

Upon seeing the pile of documents in front of him, Li Zhihua finally understood!

Li Ying's confidence is not unfounded; its core domestic operating entity is the Handong Province Jianghe Group.

Its business covers the development of high-end cultural tourism complexes, the operation of luxury car 4S store clusters, the import and export trade of bulk commodities, the bonded warehousing of luxury goods, and the development of high-end residential properties.

They have even entered the semiconductor chip packaging and testing field through equity participation, forming a diversified industrial matrix.

The group has three main growth engines: automobile sales (accounting for 38% of revenue), high-end hotel operation (accounting for 25% of revenue), and cultural tourism real estate development (accounting for 22% of revenue), forming a regional monopoly advantage in Handong and the three surrounding provinces.

Last year, the company's consolidated revenue exceeded RMB 50 billion, and its net profit margin remained at a high level of 12%-15% in the industry. It has entered the top 100 private enterprises in Handong and become a benchmark enterprise in the regional economy.

But what truly allowed Li Ying to stand tall in the industry was her "JH International" organization, which was hidden overseas.

JetHorizon, meaning "speeding across the horizon," perfectly embodies its global expansion ambitions!

Based in Country Y, it started as a small workshop that manufactured luxury goods, but has now expanded into three major business segments.

But what truly gives Li Ying the ability to engage in cross-regional competition is its offshore entity registered overseas – JH International (JetHorizon International). The name "JetHorizon" perfectly reflects its ambition for global expansion!

Headquartered in Country Y, the group has evolved from a small workshop that initially provided OEM manufacturing for accessible luxury brands into a multinational conglomerate with three parallel business segments.

Firstly, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, it holds controlling stakes in two high-end leather factories in Country Y, providing customized fabrics for niche luxury brands such as Burberry and Mulberry, with an annual production capacity of 2 million foreign dollars and a gross profit margin as high as 42%.

Secondly, it controls a rubber plantation with an annual output of 5 tons and a downstream latex product factory in the DNY Special Economic Zone.

The products are sold globally through cross-border e-commerce channels, with the domestic market contributing 62% of sales, and annual revenue reaching 5 million foreign currency.

Thirdly, and most explosively, is the oil industry, which was established two years ago.

Leveraging his early network of contacts, he signed a 20-year concession agreement with an overseas oil field, securing the right to supply crude oil.

Although the profit margin is high, it is greatly affected by fluctuations in international oil prices. Last year, the revenue fluctuated and finally settled at around 13 billion foreign currency.

In total, JH International's global annual revenue is approximately 20 billion foreign currency.

With the addition of the domestic Jianghe Group, this strength is indeed enough for her to adopt an arrogant attitude in Handong, and enough for her to be domineering in the Li family.

Unfortunately, Li Ying overlooked one point.

Li Dong's aunt is no pushover!

The further down Li Zhihua looked, the more relaxed his eyebrows became.

JH Group's rubber products purchased from DNY must be transshipped through a port on the coast of a certain sea to enter the domestic market.

The port is operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of IF.

More importantly, the settlement of funds for oil trade needs to be handled through offshore accounts.

A neutral bank that collaborates with IF just established a strategic partnership with IF last year, and the flow of funds is entirely within IF's monitoring scope!

In other words, Li Zhihua has the means to control this global industrial chain that Li Ying is so proud of!

Unless the other party is willing to give up their overseas business and focus all their efforts on developing their domestic industries.

Otherwise, Li Zhihua was confident he could control Li Ying by the throat!

Thinking of this, Li Zhihua couldn't help but chuckle, "They certainly know how to pick a track, but unfortunately, it's full of stumbling blocks!"

As his gaze fell to the end, Li Zhihua suddenly noticed something interesting.

Just now, she felt that Jianghe Group looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Li Zhihua hurriedly dialed his subordinate's number.

A moment later, a respectful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Chairman Li!"

Li Zhihua directly instructed, "I remember there are several groups in Handong that have expressed a very strong interest in cooperation, and they have already had several contacts with IF Group."

"And it has already passed your preliminary selection and entered the second round of selection."

"Give me this list, I want to take a look."

The subordinates dared not delay and hurriedly sent the shortlist to Li Zhihua's email address.

IF Group has strict screening criteria; those who make it onto their shortlist are basically leading domestic companies.

They are either industry leaders or possess irreplaceable abilities in some area.

When IF entered the domestic market, it investigated a total of 7 provinces and cities.

Three provinces and municipalities were selected, and Handong Province was one of them.

Li Zhihua himself, in particular, was more inclined to invest in Handong Province.

On the one hand, Handong Province has a good economic foundation, a strong desire for development, and supportive policies.

On the other hand, it's also because Handong is her hometown, and the Li family's roots are there.

Given his local ties, Li Zhihua would certainly prefer to prioritize the development of Handong under the same conditions.

Despite this, she remained in the Li family, living in seclusion behind the scenes.

But in reality, he conducts daily conference calls via mobile phone, remotely directing the IF working group to carry out round after round of rigorous screening.

If I remember correctly, there should be three groups in Handong Province that have entered the final selection stage.

It was only at this moment that Li Zhihua understood why Jianghe Group looked so familiar.

Of the three groups that were finally selected in the entire Handong Province, one of them was Jianghe Group from Liying!

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Li Zhihua's face.

Li Ying, Li Ying, you look down on the Li family in every way, and you don't think much of my nephew, Li Zhihua. Now you're going to great lengths to get the IF Group project from me.

Why are you doing this? Aren't you just walking into my line of fire?
