Chapter 514 The Rabbit That Eats Grass Near Its Nest
Wang Yuanchao continued to head north to Yangcheng, and this time he could take his business jet.

"Adam" - that's his English name.

The Gulfstream business jet is much more comfortable than the Huey helicopter.

After the plane was ordered, a series of procedures were completed in the United States, and then it took about a month and a half to fly here.

As for the slow flight, it is because you have to check in and go through formalities at every airport along the way, so next time you fly, it will be very fast.

Uncle Huo smiled and said that this trip to the north was a good opportunity for him.

The reason for going to Guangzhou was simple, because the White Swan Hotel finally reached an agreement. Uncle Huo invested 5000 million yuan and provided management and technology, and the Guangdong Provincial Government provided "bricks, tiles, sand and stones", land and manpower.

Wang Yuanchao copied the assignment and signed an investment agreement, investing in the "Meihao Hotel" in Yangcheng, not far from the White Swan Hotel and surrounding the exhibition venue.

Originally he wanted to call it "Black Pearl Hotel".

But it is called "White Swan Hotel" because it is next to Baietan Pond. How could he find Black Pearl Valley?

These days there are green mountains and clear water, and you can’t even find a black ditch!
The only choice is to call it "Mei Hao" which is a common name. The name is a bit vulgar, but it is auspicious.

Given the scale of the Canton Fair, one White Swan Hotel is definitely not enough.

Wang Yuanchao had long wanted to start the hotel business.

He has so many industries, and apart from his financial investments that are far ahead of his time, real estate is the thickest pillar.

He has his hands in real estate complexes, from supermarkets to cinemas, but what kind of complex is it without a hotel?

So far, there are really no hotels in his huge business empire; and future development really depends on hotels.

He was planning to acquire some hotels and then test the waters in the mainland.

With the model of hotel cooperation in Guangzhou, the capital will naturally not lag behind.

After Wang Yuanchao flew there, he quickly cooperated with the city government to establish a taxi company and driving school.

Wang Yuanchao provided the car, management, and technology, and the government provided the land, manpower, and licenses. The cooperation model was exactly the same as that of Yangcheng.

At the beginning of liberation, there were more than 100 brands of cars running on the streets of the capital. However, they were basically cars of government agencies or companies. The real taxis were still mainly human-powered tricycles.

Originally, Wang Yuanchao planned to deploy 1000 cars, but after careful consideration, the staff in the capital considered that people's car needs were mostly for transporting large items and the possibility of individuals taking taxis was extremely low (taking a taxi was still a luxury at the time), so practicality was a must-have feature of taxi models.

Therefore, they collected information from all parties and conducted investigations, and they suggested differentiating taxis.

For example, the ratio of a sedan to a van is 2:8.

This is a pretty pragmatic team!

Wang Yuanchao immediately followed suit.

His security team at the time used Toyota Hiace. The first generation came out in 67, and the second generation came out in 77. Because Hong Kong is hot and humid, Wang Yuanchao was also a big customer of Hiace, and he suggested that they must add air conditioning, so some versions of the second generation have air conditioning.

For the van, he used Hiace.

The other two are Toyota Crown.

This car was imported 6 years ago.

The fourth generation Crown was introduced to the Canton Fair that year due to the shortage of foreign commercial vehicles. The deputy squad leader personally negotiated with Japan and introduced 200 units.

Although the fourth-generation Crown was a failure in Japan, it achieved huge success in mainland China. Compared with the Soviet and Polish cars that were popular in the country at that time, it was full of advantages.

The workmanship is very delicate, and the structure and layout of the switch buttons are completely different, which made domestic drivers who are used to driving Russian cars feel at a loss at first.

The most important thing is that it is easier to be a full-time driver of a Crown. You don’t have to open the engine cover to check and repair the car every now and then like a full-time driver of an Eastern European car.

For this reason, there were many female drivers driving Crown at that time, and beautiful cars and beautiful women became a landscape in Guangzhou.

It is now the fifth generation.

So Wang Yuanchao invested 200 Toyota Crowns and 800 Toyota Hiaces.

Although Wang Yuanchao would have to pay additional fees for the ground construction and hardening, he was very satisfied with the land occupied by the parking lot and driving school provided by the other party.

Such a large piece of land near the Third Ring Road is still very valuable. Wang Yuanchao occupies half of it, so he does not suffer any loss.

He also said that several dormitories would be built to solve the problem of tight accommodation for employees. Employees can pay rent first, and employees of different levels can obtain full use rights of the house after ten or fifteen years of service.

Everyone recognized this plan, but in fact it was just a disguised mortgage strategy created by Wang Yuanchao, using rent instead of monthly payments.

Of course, he also hopes that the government can grant him a piece of land somewhere else so that he can build his own house.

He even went all out and directly used the C130 to transport several sample cars from Hong Kong.

It's called a sample car, but he actually needs to use it. If he needs someone else's car to pick him up when he goes out, it would be too uncomfortable.

He just mentioned it to the government, and the government took the initiative and applied to the higher authorities.

After all, his plane was at the airport, his family was at the foot of the imperial city, and his house was still here, so what was there to worry about? Moreover, his large investments were in Guangzhou and Beijing, and coupled with his strong influence in Hong Kong and his previous support for the mainland (Uncle Huo had reported the true situation of the planes he had obtained from South Vietnam to the higher authorities), the higher authorities quickly approved his free movement in the mainland, but he had to abide by the laws and regulations of the mainland.

There is nothing wrong with Wang Yuanchao, he is a law-abiding citizen.

The taxi company we invested in and the newly arrived sample cars, this kind of thing cannot but be reported in the news!

Once it was on the news, the neighbors in the courtyard and Wang Yuanchao’s former colleagues in the art troupe all saw it.

No one had any idea about land for the time being, but when it came to a thousand cars, the group of people couldn’t even think about it.

These days, having a bicycle at home is equivalent to having a car, and a car is almost like a private jet.

They didn't dare to think about a car, and Wang Yuanchao's family didn't dare to think about a private plane.

Wang Yuanchao just said this to his mother, and his mother Miao Cui's brain froze for a while, then she immediately became alert:
"After spending the New Year at your place, they won't be able to survive when they come back! Do you know that?

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Don’t you know?
If you want to be more convenient, fly by yourself, and don't talk to people whenever you see them! What if someone gets angry and something happens, wouldn't you be harming them?"

Wang Yuanchao felt that he was indeed a little too proud after hearing his mother's words. The reforms had just begun, and only a small gap had been opened!

He just had an expression of "your son is awesome" on his face, but immediately he squatted on a small stool and listened to his mother's teachings.

Miao Cui glanced at her youngest son, who seemed to be listening, and whispered:
“Don’t come back to this courtyard.

Last time I went to your place in Hong Kong for the New Year, I couldn't rest since I came back. Every day, everyone came to greet me. They were so enthusiastic and wanted you to introduce them to a job.

Now you’re on TV…”

Miao Cui had already seen the figures Tongtong outside the door, that is, the mother and son chatting about family matters. They didn't dare to come in immediately. It's not good to be too utilitarian. Nowadays, everyone has to have some dignity, right?
If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking at night in fine clothes. Is it possible that even this little pleasure is deprived by your mother? ?

Wang Yuanchao frowned and was about to argue when his mother dropped a bombshell:

"What is your relationship with Yu Li?"

Although the sound was very low, Wang Yuanchao was still seriously injured.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" He pretended not to understand.

Miao Cui snorted and muttered:

“It’s not like I haven’t been to your courtyard before.

It's such a big courtyard. The north side is your room, the east side is your sister's, and the west side is Yu Li and her daughter's. Isn't this just like lice on a monk's head? It's obvious, isn't it? "

Well, since my mother has been there, it is difficult to explain, so Wang Yuanchao said nothing.

"Shazhu had really sharp eyes back then!" the mother spat, not knowing whether she was talking about Shazhu or him.

Qin Huairu's two daughters in the Central Courtyard have grown up and are both very beautiful. Miao Cui is worried that her son might not be able to control himself.

Speaking of which, they call the second son "Uncle" and the youngest son "Uncle"! Because before the second daughter-in-law got married, they called Wang Sheng "Uncle". After the second daughter-in-law got married, they changed their name to the second son.

If something like this happened, Miao Cui's reputation would be completely lost, and the gossips from neighbors behind her back would be like a thorn in her side.

Those two girls probably inherited their mother Qin Huairu's foxy temperament to some extent. She really had no confidence in her youngest son. He had eaten all the grass around the house, didn't he?

Miao Cui also felt bitter. Her youngest son was good in every way except that he was too hungry and would eat anything.

The key point is, this rabbit only eats the grass near its nest. There is nothing she can do except drive this rabbit away!

Seeing her son was silent, Miao Cui said:

"You hurry up and get going.

Otherwise, you will be surrounded by neighbors asking for help, and it would be unacceptable to help one and not another!

"I have helped you. Are you here to do business? Or to be a living Buddha?"

Although Wang Yuanchao came back to check on everyone during work hours, there were so many unemployed people in the yard that he could see everyone strolling around in the front yard.

"Well, I won't accompany you for dinner. You can come to my courtyard to find me later."

Wang Yuanchao stood up, straightened his clothes, and said goodbye to his mother.

Miao Cui glanced at her son and didn't ask any more questions about Yu Li. Her son rarely refuted her. Didn't he understand? The old society's ideas were no longer popular in the new era. She was too lazy to say anything. Would this kid listen to her? She just said:
"move!"

Wang Yuanchao went out. The neighbors in the yard, well, were mostly young people. Bang Geng took advantage of his close relationship with him and said enthusiastically:
"Uncle, come to my house for some tea?"

But I didn’t see his two beautiful sisters.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"No, I have something else to do. I'll wait for a chance!"

Many people wanted to go up and have a chat with Wang Yuanchao, but seeing that he was dressed in a well-ironed suit and looked very dignified, they really didn't have the courage. For someone like Bang Geng, that was already considered courageous.

He just watched Wang Yuanchao leave the courtyard.
