Chapter 1429: People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes
But I took it easy, so I picked up my chopsticks and started eating.
Uncle Zhou also picked up the wine glass, clinked it with my glass filled with juice, and then asked me in a friendly tone: "Xiao Chen, how is your health now?"
After taking a sip of juice, I smiled and replied, "Uncle, I'm recovering well now."
Uncle Zhou nodded, and Mother Zhou then asked: "You didn't leave any root cause of the disease, did you?"
"No, everything is fine."
"That's good," Zhou's mother nodded, put another piece of ribs into my bowl and said, "Eat more. Although you and our Momo are divorced, we still treat you as our own family and don't see anyone outside.
."
I fidgeted and smiled, this enthusiasm really made me a little overwhelmed!
After continuing to chat for a while, Uncle Zhou suddenly asked me: "How is your career lately?"
"That's it, it's rising steadily."
"That's enough. It's pretty good to be able to build a company to this level at your age. It's even better to be able to grow steadily."
I really want to say that if you have any problem, just tell me and stop torturing me like this. I'm really on pins and needles!
After continuing to chat about my company's situation for a while, Uncle Zhou finally asked me seriously: "Xiao Chen, is your group developing in the direction of real estate?"
I was stunned, feeling that it was not right for him to ask me about the situation like this!
After thinking for a while, I replied: "I don't have this idea for the time being. Our group is involved in many fields. Real estate has really not been considered."
Uncle Zhou picked up the wine glass and clinked it with me again, smiled and said: "Yes, real estate is not so easy to do now, but the real estate field is still quite popular in our western region."
I'm really confused, what are you trying to say? Do you want me to engage in real estate?
I didn't dare to talk nonsense, so I could only smile and said: "Uncle Zhou, we have invested a lot in the new energy industry. Currently, the Ministry of Trade is also giving us a headache. We have no experience in this area in real estate. Indeed,
It’s not easy to do.”
"Everything is difficult at the beginning," he paused and then said seriously, "That's it. I'm looking for you. I just want to ask you if you have any ideas about developing real estate. If you have this idea, I can help you here.
, now we have this policy.”
It seems that you really want me to engage in real estate, but I have never really thought about going into real estate. It doesn't mean that I can do it if I can.
I was silent for a while and then replied: "Uncle Zhou, we really don't know anything about real estate and we don't have the qualifications in this area."
Uncle Zhou and Mother Zhou looked at each other, and Mother Zhou immediately said: "Xiao Chen, the current situation is like this. Your uncle's company has a project that needs bidding, but no company has come to bid, so Uncle Zhou
I just hope you can develop in the direction of real estate. All you need is investment and other related qualifications. Uncle Zhou will help you solve it."
Mother Zhou said as she put vegetables into my bowl, which made me feel very anxious.
I finally understood what they were looking for from me. To put it simply, they were looking for me to invest.
But I need to invest now, so how can I still have spare money to invest in the real estate industry? Isn’t this a joke?
However, it is quite strange why no one bids for government bidding projects.
It’s not easy for me to refuse directly. After all, you can’t offend an official if you offend anyone.
I was silent for another moment and then asked: "Uncle Zhou, could you please tell me how much investment this project requires?"
"The current situation is that the initial capital of the entire project plan is 2 billion, and we can apply for a fund from the bank."
I frowned and asked, "How much can the bank provide?"
"half."
I took a deep breath and said, "I want to invest one billion. Isn't this a joke?"
Even if I sell the group, it’s hard to get a billion!
I couldn't help but ask: "What kind of project is this?"
Uncle Zhou glanced at Zhou's mother again, so Zhou Mo went to pick up a document from the coffee table in the living room.
Back in the restaurant, Zhou’s mother handed the document to me and said, “This is the relevant document, please take a look.”
I immediately put down my chopsticks and opened the document bag.
The document says "Lushan Village Development Project". As far as I know about Lushan Village, it is an urban-rural fringe area.
After briefly looking at the document, I put the document back into the document bag and said, "Uncle Zhou, this matter is quite big, and I can't give you a specific answer now."
"I understand, I understand, it's okay. You go back and discuss it with the shareholders of your group first. As long as you can win this project, I guarantee you will make money."
I can only agree temporarily, but I will definitely not agree, and neither will the shareholders of our group.
But no, it’s not easy to refuse directly. It’s true that people are in the world and can’t help themselves!
After returning home, I talked about this matter with An Lan.
An Lan was also surprised after hearing this and asked me: "They know that we are not engaged in the real estate industry, why do they let you invest?"
"That's right! No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense, so I'm confused. It's not easy for me to refuse."
An Lan sighed and said, "If you want me to say it, just refuse it directly, so as not to make it messy later."
“But I’m from a government department, so I can’t afford to offend!”
"It's better to offend now than to be confused later."
What An Lan said makes sense, but she has lived abroad since she was a child and does not understand the sophistication of people in our country.
After I refused, even if Uncle Zhou was fine at the time, this matter would definitely have a certain impact on him, which would lead to certain obstacles for us in the future.
Since ancient times, officials and merchants have been one family, but once they offend each other, they will no longer be one family.
An Lan may not understand this truth, but I have to understand it.
An Lan suddenly said to me again: "Chen Feng, I think you need to ask Jiang He about this. He is engaged in real estate, so he should know about this. Ask his opinion, maybe you can find a reason to refuse."
When An Lan said this, I remembered it, maybe this is also a way.
But I no longer have Jiang He’s contact information. After losing my memory, all the contacts in my phone were gone.
I said to An Lan: "Do you have his contact information?"
"I'll look for it, there should be some." An Lan immediately took out his cell phone and started looking for it.
After a while, she said to me: "I found it, I'll call him right away."
I nodded, and after An Lan called Jiang He, she handed the phone to me.
"Hey, An Lan, what's the matter with calling me?" Jiang He's voice came immediately.
"Mr. Jiang, this is Chen Feng."
"Mr. Chen! What's wrong? What's the matter?"
I didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Mr. Jiang, do you know about the development project of Lushan Village? It is the real estate project that the government is bidding for."
Jiang He took a breath and said, "Aren't you not engaged in real estate? Why are you thinking about bidding for this project?"
"No, I'm just asking, we don't plan to develop real estate."
"Oh, then it looks like someone is asking you to invest, right?"
I responded, but didn't elaborate.
Jiang He then said earnestly: "Mr. Chen, I advise you not to consider this project. This is a hot potato. We don't have any real estate companies that dare to invest in it. Whoever invests will be ruined!"
