"Doctor Zhou, come on, please come in, please come in quickly."
Yao Lisong greeted Zhou Chen into the private room very warmly. If he had some doubts before coming, but after meeting Zhou Chen, he no longer had doubts.
He has been involved in officialdom and shopping malls, and his achievements are not low. He still has a good eye.
"Mr. Yao, since you are friends with my eldest brother, you are also my friend. Just call me Bingkun."
Yao Lisong suddenly laughed happily: "Okay, cool, then I won't be polite. Bingkun, just like your elder brother, just call me Lao Yao."
While he was happy, he felt guilty. Zhou Bingyi told him before that he had a conflict with his younger brother. They hadn't seen each other or talked to each other for several years, and their relationship was very tense.
But looking at Zhou Chen's expression in front of him, it didn't look like he was having a conflict with Zhou Bingyi. When Zhou Bingyi was mentioned, there was no hesitation or change at all.
But he felt that Zhou Bingyi would not lie to him.
"Okay, then I'll ask you to call you Lao Yao."
In fact, Yao Lisong is much older than Zhou Bingyi, and more than ten years older than Zhou Chen. Calculating this, he has no problem being an elder.
"Waiter, serve the food."
Yao Lisong shouted at the waiter outside the door, and then said: "Bingkun, I have never been to this place, but I heard from friends that their food is good."
Although Zhou Chen has been to Yanjing before, he didn't come to Yanjing very much in the 1980s, but he still knows a lot about the famous restaurants in Yanjing, mainly because he and Wan Shibing's group often ate at them.
He happened to have been to this restaurant, so he said with a smile: "Although the taste of this restaurant is not top-notch, it is still good."
"Haha, one look at you, Bingkun, and I know you have a way with food. It's great to be young, and it's great to have good food."
Both of them were experienced businessmen and very patient. Yao Lisong didn't speak first and Zhou Chen didn't ask. They just ate and drank.
Yao Lisong was also a talkative person. He kept talking to Zhou Chen about his relationship with Zhou Bingyi in the Corps, and also told Zhou Chen about the current development of Pengcheng.
Zhou Chen listened with a smile on his face and responded with a few words from time to time. The atmosphere did not seem awkward at all.
It wasn't until the dinner was almost over that Yao Lisong started to get into the topic.
"Bingkun, actually, I came to see you this time because I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation, Lao Yao, I am a doctor, is there anything we can cooperate with?"
Although Zhou Chen guessed that Yao Lisong had guessed his identity, he did not take the initiative to admit it.
Yao Lisong smiled and said: "Bingkun, we Mingren will not use secret words anymore. You should be the boss behind Xiangjiang Chenxing Group, right?"
Giving a thumbs up to Yao Lisong, Zhou Chen praised: "Awesome. I have long heard that Chairman Yao of Shangneng Group is a powerful person. When I saw him today, I really admire him."
Yao Lisong asked in surprise: "Do you know my identity?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "You already know my identity, so wouldn't it be rude if I didn't know your identity? To be honest, I have already asked people to investigate Pengcheng, so
Only then will I know you, Lao Yao."
"admire."
Yao Lisong was surprised that Zhou Chen knew about him. It seemed that Zhou Chen had indeed conducted in-depth research on Pengcheng.
However, he did not ask in depth. Zhou Chen did not come forward himself. Instead, he asked his brother-in-law to be in front of the stage, and even settled his brother-in-law in Xiangjiang. This shows that Zhou Chen is very aware of how favorable the country is for investors from outside the mainland.
And it must be for this reason.
"In that case, let me speak openly, Bingkun, since you have conducted research on Pengcheng, does that mean that your Chenxing Group has the intention to invest in Pengcheng?"
"Yes, I do have the intention to invest in Pengcheng, but whether it can succeed in the end depends on the local conditions. I should visit Pengcheng myself at the latest next year."
Yao Lisong was shocked. He heard what he wanted to hear the most, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Bingkun, can you tell us which industry you plan to start in if you enter Pengcheng?"
Zhou Chen looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Old Yao, this is the secret of our company."
Yao Lisong did not feel embarrassed at all, but said frankly: "Bingkun, your brother and I are comrades-in-arms, close buddies, based on our relationship, we must be much closer than others; I have been in Pengcheng for many years.
, I think I have some connections, I should be able to help a little bit, I..."
"Real estate, pharmaceutical factory."
Yao Lisong's tone suddenly stopped, and then he asked: "Bingkun, are you saying that you are planning to get involved in Pengcheng Real Estate and establish a pharmaceutical factory?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's real estate and pharmaceutical factories."
Yao Lisong suddenly began to think. He thought about the structure of Chenxing Group. Chenxing Pharmaceutical could definitely be ranked first. As for the real estate company, it was not ranked first in Xiangjiang.
However, he does not doubt the strength of Chenxing Group, not to mention that Chenxing Real Estate Company is not ranked well. That is for a large company in Xiangjiang, which is another matter in China.
"Bingkun, is it really profitable to engage in real estate in Pengcheng?"
The domestic real estate industry is only in its infancy and is far behind Xiangjiang, so Yao Lisong is not sure.
But Zhou Chen just smiled. No one knows better than him how profitable the real estate industry is, especially in its early stages. If you can get enough land, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
"Whether I've made money or not, I can't say, but I just want to get involved in real estate. Lao Yao, I'm telling you the truth because of your close relationship with my eldest brother. I hope you will keep it secret for me."
"That's for sure. Don't worry, my old Yao is very tight-lipped."
Yao Lisong patted his chest in assurance, and then said: "Real estate is okay, but if you want to open a pharmaceutical factory in Pengcheng, it will be a bit troublesome."
Zhou Chen said unhurriedly: "I know there are some difficulties, but it all depends on people. As long as the benefits are sufficient, I believe there is still a chance."
No matter which country you are in, pharmaceutical factories must be strictly controlled. Unlike other industries, you can't just open one if you want. The procedures are quite troublesome.
Yao Lisong rolled his eyes: "Bingkun, if you want to open a pharmaceutical factory, I can help you."
Zhou Chen said: "Old Yao, although you and I are close buddies, I always believe that there is no free lunch in the world."
"Hahaha……"
Yao Lisong laughed: "Speak quickly, Bingkun, you are better than Bingyi in this regard. Since you have made it clear, I will say it directly. I can help, but if Bingkun you have a chance to make a fortune, I don't know if you can."
Give me a share of the pie?"
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "Why, Lao Yao, you are a state cadre. If this is spread, you will be making a mistake."
Yao Lisong was not worried at all: "It's just friends helping each other. What kind of mistakes are they? Bingkun, I don't dare to brag about anything else, but in this area of ​​Pengcheng, I, Yao Lisong, am definitely a bit thin. If we
If we cooperate, it will definitely be helpful to your Chenxing Group."
"I don't expect to be able to buy shares or anything like that. I just hope that while you are making money, you can think of me and take care of me, and you will be satisfied."
Having said the words so straightforwardly, Yao Lisong did not say any more, but stared at Zhou Chen unblinkingly, waiting for Zhou Chen's answer.
Whether to continue the conversation or break up, it all depends on what Zhou Chen says.
Zhou Chen said: "Old Yao, when I do business, I focus on getting rich together. In a word, as long as you can help Chenxing Group quickly take root in Pengcheng and settle official matters, I can make the decision, and the benefits will be absolute
No less."
"Okay."
Yao Lisong happily slapped his thigh and laughed: "That's the reason, Bingkun, it's better for you to be happy. Don't worry, I, Yao Lisong, keep my word. Since I dare to boast about Haikou, I can definitely do it."
Zhou Chen nodded: "Okay, then I will call Bowen and ask you to meet. Let's get this started first. The follow-up matters will be taken slowly when I arrive in Pengcheng; but you can rest assured, don't worry.
I dare not say, but in terms of making money, you will definitely be satisfied."
"Then I'll be waiting for you." Yao Lisong was even more happy after receiving Zhou Chen's assurance.
He had no doubt at all about Zhou Chen's words. How did Chenxing Group develop?
Zhou Chen was able to develop the Chenxing Group to its current scale in Xiangjiang, which has no foundation at all, by relying on remote control. If he went to Pengcheng in person to take charge of development, would he still have to think about the results?
After reaching preliminary cooperation, the two chatted for a while before separating.
The main reason why they can talk so smoothly is that they don't worry about the other party playing tricks on them. It can be said that they are not afraid.
Yao Lisong felt that Zhou Chen was capable and had an eldest brother, Zhou Bingyi, who had a close relationship with him. He believed that a smart person like Zhou Chen would definitely not turn against him.
What Zhou Chen thought was even simpler. If a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
Dividing a portion of the profits will allow the company to develop faster and have more energy to focus on other aspects. It couldn't be more cost-effective.
The next day, Zhou Chen went to Feng Huacheng's dinner party again.
"Bingkun, come, come, come."
When he saw Zhou Chen, Feng Huacheng was very enthusiastic, but Zhou Chen didn't have the patience to tell him so much.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Feng Huacheng didn't mind Zhou Chen's attitude at all. He had already gotten used to it. If Zhou Chen was polite to him one day, he would be worried about what happened.
