There is no need to go to work on weekends, but Zhao An still got up early, made breakfast for Li Zhiyuan, and waited for his pregnant wife to wake up and enjoy the carefully prepared delicacies together.
"Well, I have to say that recently, your cooking skills have really improved~!"
Li Zhiyuan drank the red bean porridge, then bit into the fried egg with chewing gum, and praised it while chewing on the delicacy.
Zhao An said with a smile: "That's necessary, otherwise how will I serve you in confinement in the future?"
Speaking of this, Li Zhiyuan blushed, as if she hadn't gotten into the role much, she wrinkled her little nose slightly, ate something and stopped talking.
After the meal, the two slumped on the sofa. After a while, Li Zhiyuan said, "Yesterday uncle said that the final round of review of the youth venture capital plan will be conducted today.
Why don't we go and have a look, even if we don't make any comments, it's good to watch from the sidelines..."
This Youth Venture Capital Project was initiated by the Anyuan Foundation, and it is specially launched for young people who have dreams and creativity but are unable to realize them due to financial pressure.
For this reason, the foundation also specially allocated a venture capital fund of 100 billion yuan.
This venture capital plan is fundamentally different from the investment plan led by Zhao An's Han Suyu. Under Zhao An's order, Han Suyu invests in potential small, medium and micro enterprises, while this venture capital plan is aimed at individuals who have not yet started their own businesses. .
After three rounds of review, Li Zhiyuan's uncle, Shen Deming, finally led the venture capital plan, and a total of more than 100 young venture capitalists were shortlisted.
The review eliminated some large and impractical ideas, such as air perpetual motion machines, super-light curvature engine aircraft, and the formation of super Internet celebrity guilds, which are fake, big, empty, and not in line with positive energy.
The rest are basically within the scope of reasonableness and universal values.
"Then go and have a look. By the way, let's take a look at what high-end things mainstream young people are playing. In fact, we are also very young, so don't get too out of touch with the mainstream..." Zhao An smiled Said.
After driving to the Anyuan Foundation, Zhao An got out of the car with Li Zhiyuan.
Zhao An is naturally unimpeded in the foundation. When he walked into the review hall, he heard a young man talking eloquently: "When you can eat delicious food all year round and you won't catch a cold or get sick just because you eat it." ice cream, you can eat it all the time,
And there are no restrictions on men, women and children. I think this is a very large consumer market. After all, few people can resist the temptation of the delicate taste of ice cream..."
The two sat next to Shen Deming, who was sitting upright, and Zhao An took a document in front of Shen Deming, which was the project proposal of the young man who was presenting it.
Zhao An watched and listened, and knew that this person wanted to establish a chain ice cream shop, which could supply best-selling ice cream in four seasons.
To be honest, ice cream is really delicious, but it is not very friendly to eat it in winter, but if there is really ice cream that will not catch a cold, I think most people can still accept it.
After the young man finished speaking, Shen Deming said, "How can you guarantee that you won't catch a cold if you eat ice cream in winter?"
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Actually, colds are caused by viruses. The reason why people catch colds after eating cold in winter is actually caused by traditional concepts..."
After listening to the young man's final statement, Shen Deming nodded with a smile and said: "Very good, your idea is very thoughtful, I decided to approve it for you, according to your venture capital application, after going through the relevant procedures, the 500 million venture capital fund will be to your account."
This passed?
Zhao An murmured in his heart, thinking that such an idea might not seem very reliable.
But he didn't speak, and continued to smile while watching Shen Deming review the next venture capital youth.
"Hello reviewers, my name is Sun Mingli, I graduated from XX University of Science and Technology..."
After some self-introduction, Sun Mingli continued: "The entrepreneurial idea I brought this time is about sleep technology. According to statistics, the current global "sleep economy" market size exceeds 4320 billion US dollars, and it is still growing at an annual rate of more than 6%. the speed of growth;
Among them, "sleep lightweight products" mainly including bedding, mattresses, pillows and pajamas accounted for more than 3000 billion US dollars..."
This is an aspiring young woman who is engaged in the technology industry.
Zhao An evaluated silently in his heart, and then heard Shen Deming say: "Are you pinning your hopes on a brand in the direction of sleep technology, or are you focusing on product performance updates and iterations?"
Sun Mingli smiled and said: "Of course it is both. We currently have a research team of seven people, each responsible for a different direction of development. Naturally, we hope for multi-faceted development and long-term development."
Shen Deming smiled and said: "I am very optimistic about your development prospects, and my final review of you is passed!"
Hearing the word pass, Sun Mingli's spirit was lifted, and she bowed to Shen Deming excitedly and said, "Thank you...thank you..."
But Shen Deming continued: "I just investigated the relevant industry during the review period. I think the [-] million yuan investment you applied for is far from enough, so the review team decided to increase your investment amount to [-] million yuan."
Sun Mingli has suffered repeated setbacks since she started her business. Unexpectedly, the Anyuan Venture Capital Plan that she heard from the Internet not only passed her investment plan, but also increased her investment by an additional [-] million yuan.
This really gave her too many unexpected surprises.
When Sun Mingli came out in surprise, Shen Deming paused the review, looked at Zhao An who was a little silent and smiled and said, "Do you think this venture capital is not very reliable, and a lot of money is thrown out?"
Zhao An was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Zhiyuan, who was also silent, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there must be a reason for uncle to do this."
Shen Deming smiled and said: "You are avoiding the important and taking the light, and you are suspected of cronyism and protecting me..."
He sorted out the business proposals in front of him, and continued: "The venture capital proposals shortlisted today include thirty to forty different categories, including automobiles, robots, chip semiconductors, AL intelligence, and plastic recycling.
And today's shortlisted venture capital plans, I plan to pass them all..."
"Uh, why?"
Zhao An asked in surprise.
Shen Deming smiled slightly, looked at Zhao An with deep meaning, and said, "Why? Or tell me why you set up this venture capital fund?
Is it really just to help young people in need? "
Zhao An wondered, "Isn't it?"
Shen Deming shook his head and smiled, "I don't think so. I think the more important thing is to make this society better..."
Chapter 698 The Sick King
Looking at Zhao An's bewildered face, Shen Deming continued: "Looking at your words and deeds after you have developed, I have concluded a truth, you do not seem to be short of money, and you are willing to use more money to do something meaningful. matter."
"Such as doing charity, building schools, helping the poor, and improving employee benefits are examples."
Zhao An chuckled and said, "How should I put it, it's true that the money is not bad..."
Shen Deming praised: "On the other hand, what are the rich people in foreign countries doing? They are either busy with how to grab more profits, or they are investing in various biotechnologies that delay aging in an attempt to achieve longevity.
Relatively speaking, you have done a good job on this point, and it may be because you are still relatively young..."
It may also be the reason why I have healing skills and am not afraid of aging.
Zhao An thought in his heart, but said: "It's not as good as uncle said~!"
Li Zhiyuan also said: "Don't praise uncle, if you praise him again, he will go to heaven."
In front of relatives at home, Li Zhiyuan was still as playful as ever.
Shen Deming said solemnly: "I'm not exaggerating, the facts are just like this, foreign rich people are pursuing self-interest, oh no, the vast majority of rich people are pursuing self-interest,
But we hope that there will be more and more rich people like Zhao An. It is precisely because they are pursuing their own interests without disregarding the interests of the majority. This is the kind of rich people we need in our country.
That is what people often say, you deserve to be rich all your life..."
"Why does it sound like you're swearing?" Li Zhiyuan tilted her head and smiled.
Shen Deming smiled and said: "This is really not cursing, think about it, after we have made such a venture capital investment, you will be able to eat very delicious ice cream in Jiangcheng all year round.
Sleep technology can continuously make you feel good sleep, AL intelligence can further facilitate your life......
A progressive society in all aspects makes your life more convenient and harmonious. "
Zhao An nodded and said: "That makes sense, so let's set a deadline for this venture capital investment.
If there is an effect one year later, we can continue to increase investment and increase the amount of investment in this area.I just have to work hard uncle. "
Shen Deming said: "It's not hard, I'm doing something meaningful and within my power."
After the three of them chatted, Shen Deming asked to continue the review. Although it was confirmed that all votes would be voted for, the cutscenes that had to be passed still had to go.
Later in the afternoon, Zhao An received a notice from Xu Wenqian that she was returning from France and passing through Dubai to preside over the opening of the Dubai store, and asked the company to dispatch some jewelry from the flagship store to Dubai.
Originally, some of them had been dispatched, but Xu Wenqian came up with some new ideas after participating in the Paris Jewelry Fair, and Zhao An expressed support for this.
The time was set for tomorrow, and Zhao An asked Li Zhiyuan if she was interested in participating, but she refused because she didn't want to fly for the time being.
Zhao An had no choice but to ask Wang Bing to take her home, while he rushed to the company to adjust the jewelry according to the list sent by Xu Wenqian.
After finishing the work, Zhao An personally escorted this batch of jewels and flew to Dubai on Zhiyuan.
It was only noon in Dubai, and Zhao An met Xu Wenqian who was busy in the conference room of the Burj Al Arab.
"These pieces are placed in the No. [-] showcase according to my order. Their design concept is more in line with the current trend..." Xu Wenqian said to the assistant while holding a document.
Looking up and seeing Zhao An entering the door, Xu Wenqian hurriedly said hello to Zhao An: "Hello Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to come to supervise the battle in person."
Zhao An was noncommittal, and murmured about her and Anna's affairs, but said: "Mr. Xu has worked hard, I just came here to have a look, and I don't intend to participate in the discussion of the opening plan."
The instructions to be done Zhao An has done a lot before. Although the opening of the Dubai store is the first step of Zhao's overseas strategy, it is only the second store of Zhao's.
The staff had been busy for a while, and most of them went out to attend to their respective affairs. In the end, only Zhao An and Xu Wenqian were left in the meeting room.
"How's the reaction of stores like Cartier and Chaumet in the past few days?"
The scene was a little awkward and cold, Zhao An said without words.
He wanted to mention Anna's matter, but he didn't mention it after thinking about it.
Xu Wenqian said: "There wasn't much reaction, maybe they haven't realized our Zhao family's menacing attack this time..."
Zhao An: "It doesn't matter, the jewelry I arranged this time can basically play a role in crushing the top international famous stores in the Dubai Mall in terms of quality, and the price is much more reasonable than theirs.
The only thing I worry about now is whether the service can reach the corresponding level. "
Xu Wenqian: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, after my careful preparation this time, the salesmen in the Dubai store are all carefully selected from China."
Zhao An nodded and said, "Very well, I am looking forward to tomorrow's event..."
After leaving the conference room, Zhao An originally planned to go for a stroll in the street, but unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance in the hall.
It is the Saudi tycoon - Harman.
"Oh, praise the revered Lord, my dear Eastern friend, dear Zhao, I never expected to meet you in Dubai."
When Haman saw Zhao An, the smile on his face was as bright as a blooming flower, and he enthusiastically came over and took Zhao An's hand and said, "My friend, how are you recently?"
Zhao An smiled and said, "Very good. We haven't seen each other for almost two months since we parted last time. I followed your instructions and opened a store in Dubai, which will open tomorrow."
Haman was surprised: "Oh, I didn't believe it when I received Said's message, but I didn't expect it to be true. Believe me, friend, you will be proud of your wisdom."
After some pleasantries, Harman invited Zhao An to his presidential suite to continue chatting. Zhao An had no reason to refuse and readily agreed.
The Burj Al Arab is also known as the Burj Al Arab because of its shape resembling a sail.
It is one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, all with floor-to-ceiling blue diamond glass windows. From the floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides of the front and side, you can overlook the endless Arabian Sea at any time.The guest rooms are all "golden houses", famous for their splendor and luxury.
Haman's room was naturally resplendent and magnificent, and when he invited Zhao An to sit down on the sofa in the living room, Haman said with a straight face, "Actually, I came here this time to visit my brother-in-law, King Mohammad bin Rah of Dubai. Sid Al Maktoum."
Zhao An wondered, "What's wrong with His Royal Highness?"
Haman sighed: "The king is ill. He has a serious heart disease. He has adopted the latest medical technology, but he may still not live for three months."
Chapter 699
State-of-the-art medical technology?
Oh, it's nothing more than a heart transplant...
Zhao An's heart is like a bright mirror. In a rich country like Dubai, their king will never lack a source of fresh heart.But according to what Harman said, after the King of Dubai changed his heart, he still couldn't survive for three months.
I don't know if it's a new heart rejection, or other complications.
In addition, Zhao An also thought of a problem, that is, Rashid, who was known as the most outstanding prince in Dubai before, also died of a sudden heart attack.
Is this rare because of genetics?The reason was that his father had a heart attack first, but it didn't break out for some reason.
"Your Excellency Haman, you don't need to worry. I can think of a way for you to take care of His Royal Highness's illness without leaving any hidden dangers."
Facing Haman's complaint, Zhao An explained.
Although the problem can be solved with a single treatment, the treatment obviously cannot maximize the benefits.
And now Zhao An himself is also restraining the use of extraordinary skills such as healing, which means keeping a low profile and protecting oneself.
Harman thought that Zhao An was comforting him, and sighed: "Oh, you don't need to comfort me, Harmandan has invited the world's top heart surgery experts, and he is still helpless against Maktoum's illness.
Over the years, he has been worrying about the development of Dubai, and finally got some improvement, but he has to say goodbye to this beautiful world. "
Dubai belongs to the United Arab Emirates and is one of the five emirates in the United Arab Emirates. It was rich in oil exports earlier, but Dubai's real fortune is second to none in the tourism industry.
Zhao An smiled slightly: "Your Excellency Harman, my dear friend, I am not trying to comfort you, but I really have a plan to treat His Highness Maxim, please believe me."
Is there really a cure for the king's illness?
Haman was stunned for a moment, then he said with a heartbeat: "Zhao, my friend, is what you said true?"
Zhao An said with a chuckle: "Of course it is true. As far as I know, in our country's cutting-edge technology, a particularly powerful medical technology has been developed, which can treat almost all medical and surgical diseases in the world today.
