Chapter 257: Your Younger Uncle!
Chapter 257: Your Younger Uncle!
Liu Xian's face was filled with excitement, despite his initial surprise.
With this, their Youcheng project could be even more grandiose.
It was as if they had received an endorsement from above.
After hanging up the phone, he didn't hesitate to call the publicity department: "Prepare another promotional banner, welcoming Mr. Ruan and his business team for their inspection and guidance in Youcheng."
After making the arrangements, he quickly left his office and headed to the Liyuan Farm.
Given the current situation, the original investment promotion arrangements seemed too simplistic.
At the farm's office center,
Zhang Lin was sitting with Old Zhu and Old Gu, enjoying tea.
Zhong Miaoying's tea-brewing skills had improved significantly, and her movements were graceful and pleasing to watch.
Whenever the cups of the three businessmen were empty, she would promptly refill them.
The three were naturally discussing the soybean project.
Liu Xian's sudden arrival surprised all of them.
"Director Liu, we're just having tea. Please, sit down and join us," Zhang Lin invited him earnestly.
Liu Xian sat down and took a sip of the tea Zhong Miaoying handed him, then hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, there's something I'd like to ask of you."
Zhang Lin smiled and asked, "Director Liu, is it about the soybean project?"
Liu Xian nodded and said, "Yes, for this investment promotion, I hope you and Ma Jun can participate. A Mr. Ruan from the Special Strategic Department is coming down."
"Since he's coming to Youcheng, the higher-ups will definitely support our project. It will be very significant for the company."
"So, Mr. Zhang, I'm counting on you."
"Understood, I'll be there," Zhang Lin nodded.
Hearing about the Special Strategic Department, he understood the gravity of the situation. Getting support from such a department would greatly reduce many troubles for the company, and development would be much smoother.
He could roughly guess why the higher-ups were so interested.
It was probably because soybeans were being strangled by the planting restrictions imposed by the United States.
With 84% of the import demand, it was no wonder they were making excessive demands.
Some of these demands couldn't be met, often leading to a difficult and awkward situation.
But now, with the news of the Youcheng investment promotion, it was natural that they would pay attention and come quickly.
He wondered how the United States would react to this news.
He imagined that once their planting expanded, some people in the United States might be driven to extreme measures.
But that was not their concern.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Zhang," Liu Xian hurriedly thanked him.
"Director Liu, there's no need to be so formal. It's all for the good of Youcheng," Zhang Lin smiled.
To be honest, Liu Xian could have just called him from the county office. There was no need for him to come in person and be so humble.
This was a sign of respect for him, and it was mutual. When treated with respect, he would naturally reciprocate.
He would cooperate with whatever was needed, as there was no loss to him.
After achieving his goal, Liu Xian quickly bid farewell and left.
Since Mr. Ruan was bringing a business team for inspection, he wanted to ensure that the team's investment stayed in Youcheng. He couldn't let such a good opportunity slip away.
After Liu Xian left, Old Zhu and Old Gu exchanged glances and also bid farewell to Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin understood that these two senior brothers would be making arrangements.
After all, they were planning to invest in the soybean project.
While they had intended to invest before, they hadn't paid much attention to it. But now, with this news, things were different.
After leaving the office center, the two immediately called their sons.
At the Hanguang Group, Zhu Chuanxiong was busily working without a moment's rest.
His father had done an excellent job, bringing Hanguang Group to its current market value height.
So, during the process of him taking over, the company would inevitably experience some turmoil, and some shareholders would have their own ideas.
Now, his father was clearly planning to go on vacation, leaving the company entirely in his hands.
The pressure on him was unimaginable.
Recently, he had been extremely busy not only with the real industry sector but also with the investment sector, under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, his father had sent him the soybean project in Youcheng.
Sometimes, he really wanted to complain. His father should at least give him a year or two to adjust after such a complete handover.
Hearing his phone ring, he immediately answered, recognizing it was his father's call. He answered decisively: "Dad, you sure are living it up, saying you won't come back without a word."
"Are you unhappy? This will let you take over the family business sooner," Old Zhu chuckled and said, "You young people always want to change the guard, don't you?"
"Dad, am I like that?" Zhu Chuanxiong was speechless.
Others might be like that, but he wasn't so foolish. Any changes needed to be carefully considered and timed to ensure he could fully control the situation.
Old Zhu continued: "Alright, no more nonsense. For the soybean project in Youcheng, you need to handle it personally and treat it as the top priority."
"Dad, did something happen?" Zhu Chuanxiong asked immediately.
He had been focusing on the soybean project in Youcheng recently and knew how profitable it could be.
So, he had quickly called a meeting and decided to invest.
Moreover, as his father said, this investment could bring huge benefits to Hanguang Group and help him establish his authority.
Therefore, he took it very seriously and had even formed an investment team to go to Youcheng.
Previously, his father had agreed with this decision, so this sudden instruction must mean something was unusual.
Old Zhu explained directly: "The Special Strategic Department from the capital will be coming to inspect and guide this project. This project will receive support, and its nature has changed. You should come and show your face to the inspection leaders."
Zhu Chuanxiong understood the significance of this news immediately: "Got it, I'll book a flight right away."
After hanging up, he didn't hesitate and booked a flight to Ming City that day. At night, he took a high-speed train to Youcheng and went to Liyuan Farm to meet his father.
To his surprise, he also saw his old friend Gu Song, whose father was also starting to take over the family group.
His father and Old Gu were old friends, so their relationship was also very good. They chatted as soon as they met.
"Phew, it's a good thing these old men set up this project for us," Zhu Chuanxiong said.
"Yes, with this project, at least internal doubts can be eliminated," Gu Song agreed.
The next day.
Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song had breakfast with their fathers and were then taken to the office center at Liyuan Farm.
Inside the office, they met a young man.
This young man was probably in his mid-20s, about the same age as their sons.
As they wondered about the young man's identity, Old Zhu suddenly said to them: "Let me introduce you. This is your younger uncle. Greet him politely."
"???"
"???"
Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song were clearly stunned. They knew their fathers had come to Liyuan Farm because it was run by their father's younger brother.
But they thought that anyone close enough to their fathers would be around their own age, maybe a few years younger.
They couldn't believe how much younger the brother was.
Are you guys from different decades?
How can you be considered brothers and get along like this?
Do you not have a generation gap?
