Chapter 1162: Everyone has it in the background
"I have admired Mr. Liu's high surname for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to see him. When I saw it today, it was indeed a dragon among people. Lan Aijun appreciated.
"Lan Dong is really good at talking. Come, sit and talk. Liu Tao said.
Lan Aijun greeted Fu Minghua, and then everyone sat down.
"Lan Dong, I won't go around in circles with you, just cut to the chase. I would like to invest in the South Shore Expressway. Liu Tao said.
"Good! We are looking for investors right now, and if Mr. Liu is willing to invest, it would be the best. Lan Aijun said.
"I am ready to invest 100 billion to become the majority shareholder of this highway." Liu Tao said.
"This ......" Lan Aijun looked embarrassed after listening to Liu Tao's words.
"Lan Dong, is there something wrong?" Liu Tao asked with a smile. He knew that the other party would not agree lightly, and he would definitely have to exert some pressure when necessary.
"According to our original investment plan, we are the majority shareholder. The rest are shareholders who have fewer shares than we do. Lan Aijun said.
"Scenarios can be changed. I really want to invest in this highway and hope that Lan Dong will be complete. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Lan Dong, since Mr. Liu is so sincere, why don't you agree?" Fu Minghua said beside him. Liu Tao helped him cure his lover's illness, and he had to help the other party win the project no matter what.
"I'm not alone. We're going back to the meeting, too. Lan Aijun said.
"You and I both know very well that meetings are just a formality. Mr. Liu's financial resources I believe you also know, to be able to have such a heavyweight investor, more reliable than those small investors combined. Fu Minghua said beside him.
"If Mr. Liu's investment amount is less than 40 billion, I will definitely have no problem. But now the amount that Mr. Liu wants to invest is far more than 40 billion, so I don't dare to agree to it privately. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to explain to my subordinates. Lan Aijun said.
"Lan Dong, since you say so, or your company won't take over this highway, right? All the funds are paid by Mr. Liu's company, and the proceeds are theirs. Fu Minghua thought for a moment and said.
"Director Fu, this doesn't seem to be in order. We all have a part in the investment in the highways in the province, and this time is no exception. Lan Aijun's face changed slightly and said.
"Are the rules set by your company? If the province doesn't have access to this project, what can your company do even if it has money? Lan Dong, it's not that I don't give you face, it's that you are too difficult to speak. Fu Minghua said coldly.
"Am I hard to speak? Didn't I say I'd go back to a meeting and talk about it? If the company's top brass agree, I'm sure I'll be okay with that. Lan Aijun's face also became very ugly.
"You agree now, and then go back and convince your subordinates. If they don't agree, I'll do the work. Fu Minghua thought for a moment and said.
"Director Fu, you should know that the provincial highway is a state-owned enterprise. If they just don't agree, there's nothing you can do. Lan Aijun said-for-tat.
"If someone disagrees, I think it's okay to transfer. Since it is not suitable to work in the provincial highway company, it can be transferred to other state-owned enterprises. Before Fu Minghua could speak, Liu Tao opened his mouth next to him.
"Mr. Liu, I have a word of advice. You're not in the system, so don't just say things like that. Otherwise, you will bring yourself a lot of trouble. Lan Aijun said coldly.
"Really? I'd like to know what kind of trouble there will be. Lan Dong, since you are unwilling to divide the cake, then we have to eat it ourselves. Liu Tao sneered.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want if you have money. In Huaxia, money does not mean a qiē. Let me tell you, our company has also contracted the construction of this expressway! Lan Aijun said.
"Tell me, huh? Very good! It's been a long time since I've seen someone as bullish as you. We might as well make a bet, if your company can undertake this project, I will give you a billion! If you lose, you give me a billion! Of course, if you have a billion. Liu Tao said.
"I really don't have a billion, but I can come up with 50 million to bet on you." Lan Aijun said.
"50 million is a little less, but it's better than nothing. Okay, I'll bet you. Liu Tao readily agreed.
"Director Fu, Director Zheng, you two testify." Lan Aijun said.
"Lan Dong, why should you bother. I know your backstage is very hard, but compared to Mr. Liu, it's really nothing. When Fu Minghua said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"What background can he have? Provincial and ministerial estimates have already topped the sky. Lan Aijun glanced at Liu Tao and said mockingly.
"I don't really have any backstage. I just developed a few new drugs and made a little money, purely as an upstart. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"You don't need to say these things in front of me. Within three days, we will see the difference. Lan Aijun said as he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Do you need three more days? Do you think I have that much time to play with? When Liu Tao said this, he asked Fu Minghua: "Who is his backstage?" ”
"His backstage is not in the province, but in the capital." Fu Minghua hesitated for a moment and said.
"You just say which one it is." Liu Tao said.
"The Chen family in the capital." Fu Minghua replied.
"Haha! I thought it was some kind of backstage! It's been a long time, but it's just a small Chen family! You call Mr. Chen right now and ask him to come forward to support you! Liu Tao laughed.
After listening to Liu Tao's words, Lan Aijun's face changed greatly.
"Do you know Old Man Chen?" Lan Aijun asked.
"It's more than understanding! That precious grandson of his, I still have a holiday! But these festivals are a thing of the past! Do you want to call Mr. Chen now to report this matter? You see what he will say. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"This ......" Lan Aijun looked embarrassed. He doesn't have much contact with Old Man Chen on weekdays, mainly with the old man's son, that is, Chen Hua's father. If he calls the old man now, it is estimated that the old man will not be able to remember who he is for a while.
"You don't dare to fight, do you? Do you have Mr. Chen's contact information? If so, tell me and I'll give him a call. Liu Tao said.
"Aren't you awesome? If you have the ability, you can inquire yourself. Lan Aijun glanced at him and said. According to his understanding, if Liu Tao really knew Old Man Chen, then there must be the contact information of the other party. Now that the other party doesn't, who knows if it's playing tricks.
Liu Tao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he directly dialed Ye Lao's phone. You must know that the grievance between him and Chen Hua last time was mediated by Ye Lao. If it weren't for Ye Lao, he would definitely beat Chen Hua's little rabbit cub to his parents.
"Tao, I just wanted to call you. Your call came. Do you have a hunch? After the phone was connected, before Liu Tao could speak, Ye Lao had already spoken first.
"Really? I'm looking for someone to contact us. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"I have already eaten the fruits and vegetables sent by Lin Lao, they are really delicious. Where did you get such delicious ingredients? Ye Lao asked with a smile.
"I grew it myself. If you like to eat, I'll send you some every day. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Do you grow too much? If you don't have much, you might as well keep it for yourself. Ye Lao said.
"It's fine. You and the master are getting older, and it is good to eat more fruits and vegetables like this. Liu Tao said.
"It's rare for you to have this filial piety. By the way, who are you looking for my contact information? Ye Lao asked.
"The old man of the Chen family." Liu Tao said.
"What are you looking for him? Shouldn't Chen Hua's bastard boy do something wrong again? Ye Lao suddenly became nervous.
"Nope. There's something I want him to help with. Liu Tao said.
"Help? How can he help you? Tell me what's going on. I'll do it for you. Ye Lao said very happily.
"No, I don't. All he had to do was say something. You'll have to talk a lot. Liu Tao said.
"If he doesn't help, you call me. I went to him and said. Ye Lao said.
"Yes. Good. Liu Tao said with a smile.
Then, Ye Lao told him Chen Lao's contact information.
Soon, Liu Tao dialed the phone number of Chen's home.
When the phone was connected, Liu Tao reported to his home: "Mr. Chen, I am Liu Tao." We've met before. ”
"Is Ah Hua in trouble again?" Old Man Chen immediately reacted the same as Ye Lao.
"Nope." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him for a while. I'm calling to ask you for a favor. ”
"Please. As long as I can do it with this old bone, I will definitely help. Old Man Chen said.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm talking about something now at the Dongshan Provincial Department of Transportation. Someone is arguing with me because he has a good relationship with your old man, so there is no way, so I have to trouble your old man to talk to him. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"And this kind of thing? What's that person's name? Old Man Chen asked.
"Lan Aijun. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dongshan Provincial Expressway Company. Liu Tao replied.
"I've met this person twice, and I have a pretty good relationship with my son Jialin. Why don't I just ask Jialin to call him? Old Man Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Okay." Liu Tao readily agreed.
Less than five minutes after hanging up, Lan Aijun's mobile phone rang.
"Jialin, why did you call me at this time?" Lan Aijun pressed the answer button and asked.
"Aijun, my old man called me just now. This Liu Tao doesn't need to talk about you, even my old man can't afford to mess with it. Give him whatever he wants, and don't argue with him. Otherwise, you, the chairman, will be at the end of your job. Chen Jialin said.
"Isn't it? This kid has such a big background? Lan Aijun's heart chuckled. He really never dreamed that this young man would have such a deep background, and even the children of the Chen family were so jealous of this person.
"It's not that I'm lying to you, looking at the entire Huaxia Kingdom, those who dare to argue with this young man can be described as rare. Do as I say, and follow him in all things. On the premise of not violating the principle, as long as it is his business, he must help if he can. You see what I mean?" Chen Jialin said.
"Understood. A qiē do as you want. Lan Aijun nodded and said. He knew the strength of the Chen family, if even the Chen family thought that this person could not afford to offend, then he would definitely not be able to afford to offend. If he really offends the other party, he will have to get out of the position of chairman of the provincial highway company tomorrow.
"Mr. Liu, I was really sorry just now. I don't know that you know Chen Lao, how offended you are, and I hope to bear with me. After Lan Aijun hung up the phone, he carefully compensated Liu Tao.
"Don't be so crazy about talking and doing things in the future. Who doesn't know a few people who can come out and mix, right? Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Mr. Liu taught me a lesson. I'll definitely pay more attention in the future. Lan Aijun said with a smile.
"There should be no problem with this investment, right? When you go back, you hold a meeting of your subordinates and ask them to understand the investment. I just want to do something for my hometown, and I don't really care about how much money I make. I believe that this investment will make the construction of the South Shore Expressway even better. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Okay. I'll have a meeting as soon as I get back, and I'm sure they'll agree to the investment. If they agree, when can they sign the contract? In addition, this expressway needs a total of 180 billion, the provincial expressway company will pay 40 billion, you will pay 100 billion, and the remaining 40 billion will need to find investors. Lan Aijun said.
"Don't worry about the remaining 40 billion. If there are no investors, I will pay the rest. Anyway, the highway will take a while to build, and this time will be enough to find investors. Liu Tao said.
"Okay. If nothing else, the contract can be signed tomorrow. Lan Aijun said. He is now completely out of temper in front of Liu Tao.
"I'm going to the capital tomorrow, and I don't think I have time. Otherwise, after you draw up the contract, go directly to the riverside to sign the contract. I'll send someone over there to sign up with you. Liu Tao said.
"Okay." Lan Aijun nodded.
"Alright. That's all for today. Another day, I'll invite everyone to dinner. Liu Tao said.
"Yes." The crowd rose one after another.
"Director Fu, where are you holding a banquet at night? Call me when it's settled. Liu Tao said as he handed over his business card.
"My wife just called and said that she had been discharged from the hospital and was waiting to go home. My son and daughter have also returned from school. Originally, the two of us didn't plan to tell them the news of our lover's hospitalization, but now that our lover is fine, we naturally want them to come back to celebrate. I don't have a lot of socializing on weekdays, and I don't know which restaurant in the provincial capital is good. Why don't you recommend one, Mr. Liu? Fu Minghua said.
"I usually go to the Four Seasons Hotel to eat. Or maybe there? Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Okay! Your recommendation is definitely a good place. Fu Minghua readily agreed.
"I'm calling over there now and asking them to leave the banquet hall. How many people are you going to entertain? Liu Tao asked with a smile.
"About twenty people. They are all relatives and friends at home, and there are no outsiders. Fu Minghua replied.
"Twenty people don't need a banquet hall, I'll just leave a larger private room over there." Liu Tao said.
"Okay." Fu Minghua nodded.
After Liu Tao booked the private room, he got up and said to Fu Minghua: "I'll go to the hotel with Li Dong first." ”
"Yes. Call you when we arrive. Fu Minghua said.
Then, Liu Tao and Li Feiyu left Zheng Guowei's office.
After they left, Fu Minghua said to Lan Aijun: "I have already warned you before, don't argue with him, you don't listen." Now you know it's amazing! ”
"How did I know that a little hairy kid actually had such a powerful doorway. I really don't know how he met Old Man Chen. Lan Aijun said with a headache.
"His medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and I don't know how many people in the world want to slap him. It's nothing to know Old Man Chen. Go back and hasten to a meeting to settle the matter, so that you don't have too many dreams at night. Fu Minghua said.
"Hmm." Lan Aijun nodded and said, "I'll go back and finalize this matter now."
"Okay. You go get busy. Fu Minghua said.
After Lan Aijun left, Fu Minghua said to Zheng Guowei: "Director Zheng, I will also go first."
"Hmm." Zheng Guowei said.
At this time, Liu Tao and Li Feiyu had also arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.
When the manager of the hotel heard that he was coming, he hurried over to greet him.
"Coming to eat at noon and eating again at night is really a trouble for you." Liu Tao said with a smile.
"It is an honor for our hotel to be able to enjoy Mr. Liu. How many of you are there? The hotel manager asked.
"More than twenty." Liu Tao said.
"I'll arrange it right away." Said the hotel manager.
"It's not me who has a treat tonight, it's Director Fu of the Provincial Department of Transportation. You can collect cash according to the normal procedure. Liu Tao reminded.
The hotel manager immediately understood what Liu Tao meant, and nodded with a smile. After doing it for a long time, this is Liu Tao's change of method to solicit business for their hotel.
Gratitude suddenly arises.
You must know that people of Liu Tao's level don't need to talk to them so politely. But every time Liu Tao comes here to eat, he is very polite and respectful to everyone here, which makes them feel flattered.
Soon, Liu Tao and Li Feiyu entered the private room.
"Boss, the owner of this hotel can make friends with you, which is really a blessing from the previous life." After sitting down, Li Feiyu said.
"I can make friends with him, and it's not a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life. Mr. Ouyang has always been courteous to me, the best presidential suite is always for me, and the best private room is also for me. It's not about money, it's about respect. When others respect me, I naturally respect each other. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"You're right. That's exactly how you should be human. I will take care of the business here more in the future. Li Feiyu said. (To be continued.) )
