Chapter 483: Year-end Rich List
The following time was like water breaking through a floodgate, rushing past without giving people any chance to breathe.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year.
It’s finally time to take stock of the economy.
The higher-ups invited well-known entrepreneurs from Haicheng to attend an economic review conference.
The conference involves all walks of life, as well as overall economic trends and directions.
At this conference, there will be an economic ranking, which is the market value ranking of industries owned by Haicheng entrepreneurs, also known as the Haicheng Rich List.
In last year's rich list, there was no doubt that Tang Zhongying of the Tang Group was number one.
The second place is the Wang family headed by Wang Weinian.
Wang Weinian controls the logistics industry in Haicheng. He has the final say in the entire logistics market, which is very profitable, so he has accumulated a lot of foundation over the years.
However, in the first half of this year, Dingsheng Logistics was involved in a drug trafficking incident and suffered heavy losses, and was acquired by Jiang Ning. Wang Weinian was then tracked down by Jiang Ning for hiring someone to kill Jiang Ning, but he turned the tables and fled abroad in fear, and has been missing ever since.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible for the Wang family to appear on the list this year.
The Bai family, which ranked third, was average. They cooperated with the Jiang family in the Chinese herbal medicine business and did quite well. It is estimated that their ranking will remain stable this year.
However, Jiang Ning is now planning to buy some land to grow Chinese herbal medicines himself. Once his planting project is established, the Bai family will be left behind, and their lives will no longer be good.
The Lu family, which ranked fourth last year, made a lot of money through the Yunmeng Jinlou in cooperation with Tang Song, and squeezed into the top five of the Haicheng rich list, ranking fourth.
It went bankrupt a few days ago and may not appear on the list again.
The fifth-placed Shen Group and the Shen family have been doing pretty well this year with the help of myself, and their market value has not fallen. However, due to Shen Yunhai's lack of trust in me, many things happened but he pushed them away even though I offered to help. Otherwise, the Shen Group would have risen a lot in the rankings this year.
These entrepreneurs were also present at the conference.
Except for the entrepreneurs from the Lu and Wang families who went bankrupt or fled abroad, the entrepreneurs from the Shen and Bai families who were still local came to the scene. In addition, there were also some entrepreneurs from Chuzhou and Jiangzhou. Because their business involved Haicheng, they had to attend this meeting.
When the reports from all walks of life were finished, the much-anticipated rich list was about to be announced, and everyone was staring at the big screen with bated breath.
"Next, we will announce the annual list of Haicheng's most influential entrepreneurs." The host said, "I believe this list is also the most important list tonight!"
After that, the host smiled mysteriously: "But before the list is announced, please allow me to keep you in suspense!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and four black squares appeared on the big screen.
"Please look, behind these four squares are the nominees for this year's richest man. In other words, the richest man will be among these four people. You can vote according to your own opinions. We will draw a lucky person from those who voted for the richest man and give him a lucky gift."
After hearing this, everyone sighed.
"This rich list is like an Academy Award nomination, it's quite interesting!"
"In previous years, this list was very old-fashioned, but this year it's quite interesting. I still have to guess first."
"I heard that the person who organized the conference this year was a post-00s generation. People born in the 00s tend to be very active!"
......
"Now, the first nominee!" The host finished speaking, and the first big square on the screen turned over: "Bai Jingze, the new chairman of the Bai Group. The Bai Group is the mainstay of our city's pharmaceutical companies. Every year, it supplies tens of millions of medicines to major hospitals, pharmacies and the public, bringing hope of life to countless people. The Bai Group has always been adhering to the concept of curing diseases and saving lives, and its development momentum is good..."
"Next, please vote!"
Brush brush!
The vote count scrolled on the big screen.
Final vote count: 21.
This number of votes made Bai Jingze look unhappy.
There were more than 21 people attending the meeting, but I only got votes, which showed that others did not think highly of me at all.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood. He had asked his secretary to calculate that the Bai family's assets could not reach 100 billion yuan at the moment, and they could not even reach the line of the richest man last year. Naturally, there was no hope this year.
Therefore, he accepted the current situation calmly.
Next, the host shouted again: "Come on, let's take a look at the second nominee."
"Tang Zhongying, chairman of the Tang Group, has been the richest man in Haicheng for five consecutive years!" The host's voice was extremely loud: "Tang Group has many industries, including construction, tourism, real estate, medicine, and health care..."
This introduction sounds explosive. Compared with the previous Bai family, it is simply not on the same level.
The Tang family lost two industries this year, the catering industry and the precious metals industry, otherwise it would sound even more intimidating.
"Tang Group has won the largest construction project in Jiangbei District, the Pingjiang project. Next year, it will take advantage of the momentum and become even more powerful."
"So, ladies and gentlemen who speculate that Mr. Tang Zhongying of the Tang Group will successfully defend his title and take the crown, please cast your votes now."
Brush brush!
The numbers flashed, and soon they froze on the big screen.
Number of votes: 87 votes!
"A very high number of votes." The host said, "It seems that there are still a lot of people who believe that Tang Group will defend its title."
There were more than 200 people in total, and nearly half of them voted for the Tang family, which is already a lot of votes.
However, Tang Zhongying and Tang Yushan did not seem very satisfied, and their faces were gloomy.
"Dad, I guess the votes will be more than 100." Tang Yushan said, "This group of people are two-faced. They are very enthusiastic about us on the surface, but they only support us in the critical moment."
"That's a lot!" Tang Zhongying sighed. "This year, our Tang family has had a lot of bad luck. Everyone has seen it. We should be thankful to have received so many votes."
Having said that, in fact, Tang Zhongying was also very unconvinced in his heart.
"Next, let's look at the third nomination list!" The host finished speaking, and the third square slowly turned around: "Jiang Ning's pretty face appeared on the big screen!"
"The third nominee is a dark horse in Haicheng's business community this year and the most dazzling newcomer, the president of the Jianghai Financial Group, Jiang Ning, Mr. Jiang!" The host's voice was still high and loud, and he continued, "Mr. Jiang Ning has many businesses under his control. He now owns the largest logistics company in Haicheng, Ningda Logistics, and his businesses cover the catering and entertainment industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the construction industry, the precious metals industry..."
"Moreover, Mr. Jiang's Shanhai Construction Company has obtained the construction rights for all the docks in Haicheng. I believe that the future of Mr. Jiang and the Jianghai Consortium is limitless!"
"Next, please vote!"
Brush brush!
The screen flashes, 128 votes!
call!
Screaming out loud throughout the whole process.
