Chapter 1306: Chapter 1053: A Moment of Impulse

Before leaving Xiangjiang, the Xiangjiang Government took the lead in hosting a banquet, primarily attended by local business figures and representatives from various countries at the World Trade Conference.

As the local market in Xiangjiang is quite small but highly developed in terms of business, these tycoons’ enterprises virtually span the entire globe.

The representatives from the countries participating in the World Trade Conference were also each country’s high-ranking business officials. For the local entrepreneurs of Xiangjiang, this was a great networking opportunity. After all, it wasn’t easy to meet these officials under normal circumstances.

At the banquet, representatives from China, America, Europe, and other countries naturally were the focus, surrounded by many people.

Wang Ye, as a representative of the newly joined Russia in the WTO, also attracted much attention, with a constant stream of business figures coming to chat and network with him.

Including the so-called "Four Big Families," all the well-known faces of the Xiangjiang business world took the opportunity to get acquainted with Wang Ye.

Perhaps they had no immediate plans to invest in Russia, but there might be opportunities in the future. Anyway, getting to know an influential figure like Wang Ye was beneficial to everyone!

Holding a wine glass, Wang Ye conversed warmly and cordially with each business tycoon who approached.

Even though his net worth might exceed all the so-called tycoons present, he was representing his country and wouldn’t want to miss out on the chance to pull these people into investing in Russia.

Reliance solely on domestic industries was insufficient to promote the comprehensive development of the Russia economy, broad foreign investment needed to be attracted, including from Europe, America, Asia, and all other places—"the more the merrier," as the saying goes.

Now that Russia had joined the WTO and relaxed investment restrictions in many sectors, coupled with the business-friendly environment Wang Ye developed over the years, the timing was perfect for attracting investment!

Over the course of the dinner, there indeed were a few Xiangjiang entrepreneurs expressing interest in investing in Moscow, and Wang Ye naturally welcomed them enthusiastically.

He promised that if they were to invest in Moscow, they could contact his office, and he would provide as much help as possible...

With Wang Ye’s assurances, they all seemed delighted.

After all, when investing in a new market, having the support of local "heavy hitters" could make business much easier—everyone understands this principle.

Zhang Xiaoxi also attended the banquet, and Wang Ye had no idea how she managed to get in; he certainly hadn’t helped.

Even at the banquet, they both pretended not to know each other, and Zhang Xiaoxi hadn’t taken the chance to strike up a conversation with Wang Ye.

After all, officially, there was no relationship between them!

Zhang Xiaoxi wasn’t focusing on the business representatives from various countries but specifically made a point to get to know a few of the heavyweight business leaders from Xiangjiang, like Superman Li, especially those involved in real estate.

Perhaps because they were all in the real estate business, Zhang Xiaoxi and Superman Li hit it off quite well.

Especially when Superman Li and others learned that Zhang Xiaoxi was the actual controller of the recently prominent Joy City Commercial Real Estate in the Mainland, they were even more impressed.

With the Mainland’s economic rise, these business magnates from Xiangjiang have begun investing more or less in the Mainland, some even making significant commitments.

Apart from official figures, they wanted to network with peers in the property industry, as some projects were too much for them to handle alone; collaboration with local Mainland peers was the best guarantee for the smooth implementation of investment projects.

Hence, Zhang Xiaoxi also received several invitations from Xiangjiang tycoons at the banquet, hoping to find an opportunity for a detailed conversation and see if there were chances for collaboration...

Seeing her conversing enthusiastically with various business bigwigs, Wang Ye felt quite pleased.

His old classmate had grown significantly over the past few years.

When they had just reunited, Zhang Xiaoxi was still a rather naïve university student, her halo as a Tsinghua graduate having little worth in the eyes of business and political big shots.

Because of his trust, Wang Ye had given Zhang Xiaoxi a significant stage to perform solo.

Fortunately, she hadn’t let him down, continuously growing rapidly and managing her responsibilities in an orderly fashion. Now, she was truly outstanding, actively seeking opportunities, holding her own even in front of veteran business figures like Superman Li, speaking confidently and even making others overlook her age.

Though she might not match Wang Ye’s prodigal achievements, compared to many of her peers, she was already quite outstanding!

...

After the dinner, Superman Li found a chance to approach Wang Ye again, his face beaming as he said,

"Director Mikhail, I wonder if you have time before you leave Xiangjiang to visit and possibly guide us at my company, Yangtze Group. I also want to take this opportunity to understand more about Moscow’s development plan. I must confess, Yangtze Group has always been very interested in investing in Europe, especially in an international metropolis like Moscow, where we have great expectations for its future development."

His implication was clear: he had thoughts of investing in Moscow, but the specifics would require a private conversation with Wang Ye.
