When a young man and a young woman ate together, the atmosphere would usually be good.
However, the woman was already married, and Li Dong and Zhou Yue were not that close.
Moreover, Li Dong knew that Zhou Yue was looking for him, so he naturally would not have any ambiguous thoughts or thoughts.
Apart from that, Zhou Yue was the granddaughter of the Zhou family and the granddaughter-in-law of the Wu family …
Li Dong would avoid a woman like that if he could.
If he was too handsome, Zhou Yue would want to talk to him about life. How could he reason with her then?
Therefore, when Zhou Yue was hesitating, Li Dong smiled and said, "Zhou Yue, let's not talk about your relationship with Yuhan. We're considered friends, so just tell me what you want to say. I'll help you if I can. Moreover, I don't think the Zhou and Wu families would need my help with anything. "
The first half of his sentence was pleasant, but the second half was an excuse.
Zhou Yue did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was true that Li Dong was as smart as a monkey.
She had not even said anything, but he was already laying the groundwork.
At this point, Zhou Yue no longer hesitated. She thought for a moment before saying, "Li Dong, don't misunderstand anything.
In fact, according to my personal opinion, I prefer to have a simple meal with friends, a meal without any purpose.
However, sometimes, we have no choice.
Since you're part of the family, some things are our responsibility, and you have to bear them.
The family provides for you, and the bloodline sustains you. Unless you're really selfish and heartless, no one can avoid all of this.
I know that sometimes, people like you can't understand our way of doing things and thinking … "
Li Dong immediately interrupted, "I understand, I completely understand! It's only natural to bear the same amount of responsibility as you enjoy. Zhou Yue, you don't have to say that to me. The more you say, the more I feel that my ability is limited. Why don't you go straight to the point? "
Zhou Yue smiled bitterly. 'I'm just lamenting, do you have to be so scared?'
Feeling helpless, Zhou Yue could only say, "Then I'll be straight to the point. It's really not a big deal …"
Li Dong laughed dryly. He always said the same thing when asking for help.
Generally speaking, it wasn't a big deal, but it really was.
The Zhou and Wu clans were very strong.
Li Dong didn't think that these two families had anything that they needed him to do in order to settle.
With their abilities, there weren't many things that Hua Xia couldn't do. If he really couldn't do it, there was nothing he could do as a businessman.
Li Dong didn't interrupt her even though he was thinking this way.
Zhou Yue continued, "There are two things that I hope you can help us with today.
Far away logistics is not a small business.
Last time, I heard that you are preparing to set up an airline company to do air freight. The scale is getting bigger and bigger.
I have an uncle who works in Jin Province.
Previously, when your Jiangbei Logistics Park was built, my uncle had mentioned it a few times. He was very envious and wanted to build the first logistics park in Jin Province, or even in North China.
He wanted to create an industrial cluster so that Jin Province would have its own unique industries instead of relying on the energy industry to be famous.
The geographical location of Jin Province was very good, and the transportation network was also very developed.
Because of years of coal transportation, the logistics network was also very developed.
Therefore, my uncle started to attract investors and marked out a piece of land in the suburbs of Jinyang, preparing to build a tertiary industry concentration area.
My uncle was ready in terms of planning, prospects, and policies.
In fact, my uncle has already negotiated a cooperation with a large enterprise in Xiangjiang … "
Hearing this, Li Dong seemed to understand a little. He frowned slightly and said, "Then? The company went bankrupt? Or the company broke the contract? "
Zhou Yue was a little embarrassed. After a while, she said, "Neither."
"Then …"
Zhou Yue was even more helpless and even felt a little embarrassed. After a while, she whispered, "The company in Xiangjiang was found to be a shell company.
At this time, my uncle had already approved a loan of 500 million yuan for the other party.
Now, we can't get the money back.
On the one hand, the other party had made a lot of investments in the new development zone. On the other hand, the rest of the money was either gone or spent …
In short, the person was caught, but the money was gone.
Now, my uncle is under attack.
There are two main points. First, we can't get the money back. The bank is not giving up. Because my uncle used the name of the government as a guarantor, not only did the bank not let go, but some of the opponents were also constantly attacking.
Second, my uncle used a lot of connections this time and opened up all kinds of channels.
The policy was also passed, and the government even did some publicity work. The name of the first logistics park in Huabei was even out …
But now … "
Zhou Yue was not only embarrassed, but also helpless and angry.
Her reputation was already out, but at this time, not only did she not succeed, she actually met a scammer!
One must know that the scammer was not just an ordinary person, but a provincial government!
Of course, her uncle was not the number one person in the provincial government, but the deputy, which was considered a high position and power.
Under such circumstances, she did not investigate the background of the other party and so easily vouched for the other party. It was simply embarrassing!
If it was an ordinary person, the only thing they could do at this time was to take responsibility and bid again.
Of course, after bidding again, it was possible for anyone to be in charge of this project. The original person had no chance, and he would be lucky not to be frozen for eight to ten years.
If there were more opponents, all kinds of tricks would be used, and it would be considered a mercy to directly retire.
But after all, he was a direct descendant of the Zhou family, and it had not reached this stage yet.
There was still room for negotiation at the moment.
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a while, he said, "So what do you mean now?"
Zhou Yue said softly, "My uncle and my grandfather think that this matter must be dealt with lightly. It is not suitable to disclose it to the public, in case it causes a greater impact.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to find a company to take over this project.
But my uncle's original plan was very ambitious, and he wanted to surpass … surpass the logistics park in Jiangbei, and become the largest logistics park in Huabei, and even the whole of Hua Xia.
Just the planned investment alone is as high as 20 billion.
Therefore, it is very difficult to find a second company to take over.
Even if we find one, some of the problems in the early stages can easily be exposed, so we hope to avoid these problems as much as possible, and minimize the problems in the early stages.
And regarding the bank loan, 500 million is not a small amount. According to the bank and the local government, they also hope that the next company to take over will also take over the debt problem … "
At this point, Zhou Yue quickly said, "But don't worry, these debts will be borne by the company in name, but in fact, some policies and subsidies will be given back. This is also recognized by the local government, and the government also hopes to minimize these unfavorable factors. Now, there is no other company in the country that has the ability, experience, and plans to expand like this. My uncle and the rest analyzed for a long time, and finally, they thought that there might be such a need for expansion in Far away … "
Li Dong's mouth twitched, and after a while, he said, "20 billion investment, 500 million loan!
Also, in Huabei, we have already built a 10 billion logistics park, and in Lu Province, there is another 10 billion logistics park!
Now, you want to build a 20 billion logistics park in Huabei? Zhou Yue, your uncle and grandfather have really overestimated me.
As for the problem of Jin Province's geographical location, land transportation is not a big problem, but the water system near Jinyang is only Fen River.
Fen River's draught is very shallow, and this 20 billion logistics park is an investment, but the real business is probably more than 30 billion a year!
Water transportation is a big part, and Fen River can't take on this task.
That's why investing 20 billion to build a logistics park in Jinyang … "
Li Dong did not want to say anything. I must be stupid, or I will be at a disadvantage.
Also, in Huabei, Tianjin is the most suitable place to build a large-scale logistics park.
Since ancient times, Tianjin has been a trading port, and it is much better than Jin Province in terms of water, land, and air.
Even if I don't choose Tianjin, Ji Province is better than Jin Province.
Ji Province is near the Bohai Sea in the east, and Qinhuangdao is a famous port city. It is more worthwhile to build a logistics park there and cover all of Huabei.
Now, you want me to go to Jin Province and invest tens of billions to build a small river with those coal bosses?
Li Dong had a helpless look on his face. No wonder!
I knew that the Zhou Family is so powerful, and there are many businessmen who want to suck up to them. There will always be people who are willing to do this.
But the capital involved is as high as 20 billion!
Not only that, there are also countless risks involved. Who dares to do this?
If there are such businessmen, Li Dong would have cheated his parents to become beggars.
It is important to do the Zhou Family a favor, but money is the most important.
To businessmen, there are some investments that they can make even at a loss.
There were some investments that should never be made!
Zhou Yue's uncle …
Li Dong did not know him, nor had he seen him before. But now, Li Dong only has one impression of him. He is overjoyed!
Far away, the logistics park was built in Jiangbei because there is no large-scale logistics park in Huabei and the Central Plains.
Also, Li Dong was the one who suggested this plan. Later on, when Du Anmin implemented the plan, Li Dong will have to intervene if anything goes wrong.
But is the Zhou Family's favor worth this much?
There is no other way to turn a favor into a value.
Not to mention that Li Dong did not have that much money now, even if he was a trillionaire, 20 billion was not a small amount.
Can Jin Province really invest in a large-scale logistics park?
Li Dong's words disappointed Zhou Yue. She thought about it and said, "Is there really no chance?"
Li Dong said dryly, "You can ask people from other companies. 20 billion is too big. It's so big that it can even cover an entire Inner Mongolia.
But there are few people there. The investment is too big. It is not worth it.
Beijing, Tianjin, Ji Province, and even the northeast have large ports that are better than Jin Province.
Although Lu Province is in Huabei, it is not too far from Jin Province.
Lu Province's Jiaozhou Bay is building an international logistics park center. The first phase has already been built …
I am building a large-scale logistics park in Jin Province … "
There are some words that Li Dong can't say. I am not an idiot, I really am not!
The international logistics park in Jiaozhou Bay is said to invest 50 billion to build a world-class industrial cluster in Hua Xia. Relying on a few major ports in Bohai, there is indeed hope of this.
At this time, Jin Province, which is not far from Lu Province, is also building a large-scale logistics park. It will definitely be greatly affected.
Rather than investing 20 billion in this, Li Dong would rather invest in more storage and distribution centers.
Investing 20 billion in Jin Province, other than sounding good in name, there is really no benefit to it.
Li Dong exhaled. Zhou Yue had just said two things. He could not do the first thing.
After thinking about it, Li Dong changed the topic. "Don't you have another thing? Tell me, I want to hear it. "
Seeing that he did not want to talk about the first thing, Zhou Yue was actually mentally prepared. She could not help but feel a little disappointed.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yue could only go along with his words. "The other thing is much simpler than the first. Qingping's aunt has an international trading company. I heard that Far away is going to build a global procurement center. His aunt has some ideas. Their company has many channels abroad. You can talk about it … "
Li Dong frowned again and looked at Zhou Yue deeply.
He owed the Zhou family a favor, not the Wu family!
Li Dong was willing to bet that the second thing was added by Zhou Yue herself.
The Zhou family was not stupid. The first thing was so important and so difficult. Adding a second condition at this time, did they really think that Li Dong was a good person?
Also, using the Zhou family's connections to seek benefits for the Wu family's relatives. Marriage was also impossible!
Only Zhou Yue, perhaps because of Wu Qingping, added this condition.
But could she agree to this?
What was the purpose of building a global procurement center Far away?
It was to reduce costs and reduce the existence of middlemen.
Far away was getting bigger and bigger. The shopping mall and physical stores had an annual purchase volume of more than 100 billion.
A large supermarket chain could not sell all domestic products.
Imported products sometimes took up a large proportion. Far away might even build a boutique supermarket and import all of its products.
Even one-tenth of the imported products would reach tens of billions!
With such a supply volume, the middlemen's profits could reach billions every year.
Far away wanted to get rid of the middlemen's profits and directly carry out global procurement. Even if they could not save all the profits, they could still save a few hundred million. That was still a huge profit.
Now, overseas countries were still facing a financial crisis. Products were not selling well. It was much easier to open up channels.
Li Dong seized this opportunity!
But now, Zhou Yue actually wanted to add in another middleman. Then, wouldn't Li Dong's plan be ruined?
Then why did he need to build a global procurement center and waste manpower and resources to open up global supply channels?
Li Dong had long known that it was difficult to repay a debt of gratitude.
But only now did he know how hard it was to repay it!
20 billion logistics park, middleman for global procurement …
Li Dong could not agree to these two conditions. He could not agree to them.
But if he did not agree, what should he do next?
Should he return the favor from before?
Also, if he did not agree, he would be offending both the Zhou and Wu families. Was it worth it?
Li Dong fell into deep thought. He felt helpless and annoyed.
It was good to owe a favor. But now, the other party was obviously forcing him. They wanted to return a hundred times the favor. It was too much.
