Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 557: Liu Jizhong

This current era is also an era of heroes. There are also too many people who started from humble beginnings, but have achieved a great deal and have gone on to become heroes of this era, such as this person in the office of District Mayor Sun in Binjiang District.

He is a short man, barely 1.6 metres tall, with a receding hairline, but full of energy. He is well-dressed, but at the moment he has rolled up one of the sleeves of his suit.

He is sitting upright, with his left hand in a fist on his thigh, while his right hand is constantly making various gestures to emphasise his words. Although he is in the mayor's office, he is not at all awkward, let alone stage-frightened or constrained.

From this point of view, he is a successful person. The office of a district head in a district subordinate to the provincial capital is not a stage that just anyone can use.

Liu Jizhong finished expressing his thoughts with full confidence, and then lifted the cup on the coffee table to drink a mouthful of water. 'District Head Sun, what do you think of my idea? Can you help introduce me?'

While Liu Jizhong was speaking, District Head Sun kept his legs up and leaned back on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand, but he never drank from it, just spinning the lid.

When he heard him ask, he still maintained that posture and action. 'The idea is not impossible, but let me be clear with you, this is definitely not going to work. They already have a plan in place, so this will definitely not lead anywhere. Forget about the introduction,'

Liu Jizhong's face looked a little bad when he heard this. 'If you won't introduce them, then just help make a phone call to introduce them,'

District Chief Sun shook his head. 'Lao Liu, I advise you to forget about this. Judging from what's happened so far, their plan is definitely better and more concrete than your idea.

And in this day and age, are good ideas in short supply? What's in short supply are the conditions for realising ideas, such as a vehicle, a platform, and funding.

Your current business is also quite good and has a promising future. The district can be said to have watched you grow step by step to the present day. You'd better get on with the task at hand.'

It seemed that asking District Mayor Sun to intervene was not very realistic, so Liu Jizhong stopped mentioning it and instead extended an invitation, 'Does the District Mayor have any plans this evening? The restaurant has flown in a lot of seafood, do you want to go for a drink?'

'Not today,' District Mayor Sun waved his hand, 'The doctor has repeatedly told me to stop drinking, and my stomach has not been feeling well these past two days,'

'If you are busy, I won't disturb you,' Liu Jizhong stood up to say goodbye, and before District Mayor Sun could sit down behind his desk, he was already out of the office.

This scene made District Chief Sun feel a little uncomfortable. It seemed that more and more people started out with no temper, but as their wealth grew, they began to lose their temper again.

It was really becoming increasingly rare to find people like Mei Yiliang, who became more and more patient as they got richer.

Thinking about Mei Yiliang, District Chief Sun wondered if he should give him a call. On second thought, he decided not to. Jiasheng had a very clear plan for everything, and there was no need for him to worry.

It's this Liu Jizhong who actually thought of such a good idea. He really doesn't know what to say about him.

To say that this Liu Jizhong is truly considered the number one person in Binjiang District.

When District Chief Sun took up his post in Binjiang District, Boss Liu was already making a name for himself. He also worked in the catering industry, but unlike Feng Yiping's noodle shop, his was more high-end.

Boss Liu was the first to introduce Cantonese-style morning tea to the provincial capital, and then it was only natural that he opened a live seafood restaurant. So far, there are already six stores in the provincial capital, and together with the original one, there are a total of seven restaurants under his name. He is currently preparing to enter the tourism industry.

Twenty years ago, Liu Jizhong, who was under 15 at the time, just replaced his father, who had been rehabilitated, and went to work at the Binjiang District Furniture Factory. Because he was underage, he lied about his age and inflated his weight before the physical examination, so he could get by.

However, he was smart enough to get transferred to the sales department after working at the factory for a while. After that, not only did he do well, but he was even able to make extra money, so he was leading a pretty good life.

If nothing unexpected happened, he might have continued to develop in the furniture factory, but one time, an office colleague, unable to stand his smug attitude, said, 'No matter how well you do, you'll just be a salesman for the rest of your life,'

This deeply irritated him, and he immediately resigned. He studied hard with his brother, who was preparing to take the university entrance exam, and finally managed to get into the provincial university.

After graduation, he was successfully assigned to work in the provincial government, and finally became an office worker. However, it is hard to change one's nature. With his temperament, his relationship with his colleagues was just so-so, and his relationship with his superiors was not good either. After a few years of muddling along, he was unable to get promoted. So he simply took advantage of the craze of 'going to the sea' and became a trendsetter.

It turned out that the market was indeed the right place for him. Starting with a small shop, he has now reached this point, and he is already considered a number one figure in Binjiang District, easily outshining his former colleagues who looked down on him.

Liu Jizhong is of course a person who is very adaptable to the current society. However, District Chief Sun feels that compared with Feng Yiping and Mei Yiliang, he seems to lack strength.

How should I put it? Although they have both developed well, and although Liu Jizhong graduated from university a long time ago and is currently the vice-president of the alumni association of the provincial university, compared to Feng Yiping, who only attended junior high school and is currently attending university, he feels as if he is not on the same level.

One party is more outgoing. Without mentioning the external things such as how many cars he bought after becoming rich, after becoming successful in his career, he goes around talking about his entrepreneurial and history of getting rich, and hates that he is not the centre of attention. The other party, on the other hand, the better his career develops, the more introverted he becomes, for fear of becoming the centre of attention of the people around him.

Liu Jizhong left the district government with a heavy face, wearing a trench coat and carrying a bag. He just nodded to the district cadres he met on the way, and because he was in a bad mood, he didn't even bother to smile. Those who didn't know him would have thought he was the leader here.

When he reached the entrance of the office building, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up in the parking lot. The driver, very dutiful, got out and opened the door for him. Liu Jizhong sat in without saying a word, threw his bag over to the side, and didn't say a word.

'What's wrong? District Chief Sun didn't agree?' Liu Jishan in the passenger seat asked back.

'He didn't agree, he didn't even want to make a phone call,'

the driver asked cautiously, "Mr Liu, where are we going now?'

'Back to the company," Liu Jizhong said, looking out the window, "It's just a hotel, right? Over the years, how much tax has our company paid to the district? He's actually turned around so quickly, and now he looks down on people like us,'

the "he' in his mouth naturally refers to District Chief Sun.

'Er, I think the way we are doing things is not bad. The restaurant has always been doing well, and tourism has become a hot spot. If we do these two things well, it's not bad, is it?' Liu Jishan, the eldest brother, advised.

'Brother, there is no such thing as too much business. I've already said, you don't need to worry about it,'

'But, just from what I've learned, Jiasheng doesn't lack money or people. Why would they want to cooperate with us?' Liu Jishan still said something.

'Tsk, you really don't need to worry about this! Haven't you understood this truth over the years? There is no such thing as a sure thing in business. As long as there is even the slightest chance, of course you have to go all out. Otherwise, do you think we could have made it to where we are today?'

Liu Jizhong's words were very rude, but his eldest brother was used to his ways. At home, the most capable one was of course the one with the biggest temper and the most character.

'So what do we do next?' Liu Jishan asked again.

'That's easy. If he won't introduce us, we can just go find him ourselves. There's a big hotel there! Let's go tomorrow.'
