Chapter 193 Meat Sharing Game [3200]

This trip doesn't seem boring at all because I have Lao Liu with me.

The key point is that this kid has led his two right-hand men astray.

Lu Yang said helplessly: "Okay, if you don't want to play, then don't play. You heard the content of the phone call just now, right? We have to hurry up and return within seven days. Compared with earning foreign exchange, it is not certain that we can earn it. If this ready-made business is negotiated, we can really make a fortune in the future."

No one knows better than Lu Yang how profitable coal mining is.

If you don’t believe it, just ask the directors and female stars in the entertainment industry in a few years.

Lu Yang wanted to do it.

There's nothing wrong with being a matchmaker.

However, the evaluation of coal bosses in later generations is not very positive. Because of their crazy and fierce output in the entertainment industry, this group of simple and unpretentious rich people have almost all been labeled with the stereotyped label of "stupid and rich".

Lu Yang felt that he still had to find something to shelter himself from the wind and rain. He could make money, but he could not be labeled as a coal boss. So the only way out was to be an individual shareholder hiding behind the scenes and only taking dividends.

According to what the old village party secretary said on the phone just now, both the county and the state-owned coal mine are interested in getting involved, and it was stated that Che Ma wanted to occupy a dominant position in the Chashan Coal Mine to be established soon, and take the majority of the shares.

The old village party secretary had a look of regret on his face just now on the phone.

The tone of his voice was regrettable.

But after hearing this, Lu Yang almost laughed out loud, because in his opinion, this was great. The county leaders and the state-owned coal mines came to get involved, and someone stood up to take the lead. It was like sitting under a big tree and enjoying the shade. Just make money. As long as you can deal with this hurdle, there will be almost no trouble in the future.

And if there is no intervention from the county leaders, and no involvement of the state-owned coal mine in management, and the village committee relies solely on its own strength, saying that it wants to unseal and reopen the Chashan Coal Mine, would Lu Yang be asked if he wants to participate?
Lu Yang would probably refuse without even thinking about it.

Can the villagers do business?

Can internal conflicts be resolved by ourselves?
Such a good business is like picking up money. Without a strong backer, can you keep picking up money?
Does it mean that any conflict or accident that arises must be blamed on Lu Yang, and that he, Lu Yang, must be held responsible and take the blame?

The water here is too deep.

Lu Yang would rather just follow behind the professional swimmers, and be the second, third, or fourth place, and have a small piece when others are eating meat, than be the navigator and have to bear all the small winds and waves by himself.

But in other words, since the county has stepped in and the state-owned coal mines are involved in the operation, this business is already a sure win and there is no need to worry about future troubles. So why should the remaining fat be shared with people who are not as strong as oneself?
It wasn't Lu Yang who licked it.

It’s not that Lu Yang bullies the weak and fears the strong.

This is the reality. It is always the case that the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and the winner takes all. If Lu Yang was not rich, he would not be qualified to participate in this game of dividing the meat.

"Don't worry, cousin. I will try to negotiate at least one foreign trade deal before returning."

Lao Liu, who was sleeping on the upper bunk opposite, sat up and raised his hand.

Lu Yang nodded without comment: "Okay, then you do your best."

There was something he couldn't bear to say.

Damn, I'm so fucking stupid. I'm still so rough after being reborn. I forgot that Lao Liu doesn't understand English at all. He can't even say Hello or Goodbye. Even if he can speak well, how can he say a word to foreign businessmen?
In the end, isn't it still a case of talking at cross purposes?

In order to transfer this guy out for a few days, I spent a lot of time and effort to sort out the current management procedures in the factory. I don't know whether the sales backbones promoted by this guy are capable.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang decided to remedy the situation.

So he looked at Gong Ping'an who was sleeping on the lower bunk opposite him and said, "Old Gong, your wife is studying over there. I'm sure she would be happy to know that you're going there. Does she know English? Can you lend her out to be our translator for a few days?"

Gong Ping'an had just laid down when he heard Lu Yang calling him Old Gong, and his face suddenly turned as black as charcoal. But when he heard Lu Yang mention his future daughter-in-law, Sister Wei Shu, his face could not hold back any more, and thinking that they would meet soon, the corners of his mouth pouted up unconsciously.

So he turned around quickly.

Turn your back to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was surprised and asked, "That's strange. Why are you sticking your butt out? I just want to ask you, is your wife free? Does she speak English?"

Gong Pingan replied in a muffled voice: "I don't know. She never spoke English to me, but she should know a little bit. She should be able to pick it up...right?"

Lu Yang covered his forehead with his hands.

I thought to myself, “Can I remove the bar?”

"Okay, you guys take a rest first. I'll go talk to Vice Mayor Xu and see if I can borrow his translator. I've noticed that there are translators in the teams of several state-owned factories in the city. Besides, they invited us here, so we can't wait until the closing ceremony. If we leave early, we have to tell them."

Lu Yang thought about it and decided to go to Deputy Mayor Xu to ask about the situation.

See if I can borrow a translator.

Or we can share the translator with the municipal state-owned factory in the same booth. In addition, we have to talk to this leader about competing for the shareholders of the reopened Chashan Coal Mine. Maybe we can get some external help.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Lu Yang was about to leave when he arrived at the corridor inside the carriage.

Gong Ping'an's voice came from behind.

She had quickly put on her shoes, walked out, and followed him.

Lu Yang turned his head and glanced at the boy: "Okay, since you are up, then follow me."

There are two aspects where accidents are likely to happen when taking a train these days. One is that you may easily lose your bag when you are fast asleep.

One is that when you leave your seat to go to the toilet, you are squeezed in the crowded crowd and walk through the corridors in the train car. It is easy to have quarrels and conflicts with others because of the crowds. Secondly, because of the crowds, it is easy to encounter people like pickpockets and have your money stolen without knowing it. There is also the connection between the two cars. If you stay in such a place for a long time, you are likely to be robbed.

Lu Yang is not afraid of losing money, but he is afraid of meeting a rogue person. Not only will he take the money, but he will also stab you if you dare to look at him for even a second.

That's really chilling. Don't doubt it, there are still a lot of people like this these days. It's not wrong to be careful when you go out.

Gong Gongping wanted to follow him, and he was eager to do so, even though the possibility of an accident happening was very small.

This is the sleeper car.

Lu Yang's invitation letter and soft sleeper ticket were both arranged by Deputy Mayor Xu. Could it be that as a mayor, he would be traveling south for such a long time and not get himself an entire soft sleeper compartment?

Naturally it is impossible.

In fact, the business delegation organized by the Municipal Party Committee all bought sleeper tickets and were in the same carriage, just in different berths. Lu Yang led Gong Pingan for less than a minute, then knocked on the door of a private room and walked in.

"Mayor Xu, I'm sorry to bother you. I have something to ask you."

The soft sleeper compartment of Deputy Mayor Xu was more upscale than the four-person compartment of Lu Yang's place. It was a soft sleeper compartment for two people, and only occupied by Deputy Mayor Xu and his secretary. Lu Yang knew about it and had come to say hello when he got in the car.

But this time when the door was opened, I unexpectedly found that there were five people inside.

Among them was a middle-aged man with a beer belly. Lu Yang had a deep impression of him. Before getting on the car, Vice Mayor Xu pulled him aside and introduced him. He seemed to be a senior leader from the Second Textile Machinery Factory in the city.

Behind the middle-aged man with a beer belly, there is a young man carrying a bag, who is most likely the middle-aged man's secretary.

The third person was a young man about 30 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and was very gentle. When Lu Yang came in, he glanced at Luoyang with an evil look, then turned his head and listened to the conversation between the middle-aged man and Deputy Mayor Xu.

Little moves, little bitches, and quite proud of it.

Lu Yang was sure that this guy was definitely not from this trade team. Before getting on the bus, Lu Yang had seen all the members of the trade team, including the secretary, translator, and staff. He had a good memory, and after his rebirth, he trusted his own eyes the most.

When Vice Mayor Xu saw Lu Yang coming in, he stopped talking immediately, stood up enthusiastically, and took Lu Yang to introduce him to everyone, saying, "Our private entrepreneur is here."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Mayor, please don't do this. If you continue like this, I will become arrogant. With my predecessors around, how can I be considered a private entrepreneur?"

Lu Yang modestly waved his hands and shook his head.

"That's different. Boss Lu is so young, yet he has achieved so much. He really deserves to be called a private entrepreneur. Besides, although I am several decades older than you, I am the leader of a state-owned enterprise. So, you, the grandson of Mr. Ye Ziru, don't be modest in front of me."

The middle-aged man with a beer belly was quite polite.

Lu Yang had never publicized the fact that he was Ye Ziru's nephew, but when he came to the city last time and renegotiated an order with the city's state-owned cotton textile factory, at the celebratory banquet that evening, Deputy Director Nie, whether intentionally or unintentionally, told this to Deputy Mayor Xu as an anecdote. Deputy Mayor Xu couldn't help but sigh after hearing it, feeling sorry for the old professor's experience. At the same time, he was very kind to Lu Yang.

He even specially toasted Lu Yang with a glass of wine and left a meaningful remark: "It turns out that Mr. Lu is half a local of our Baoqingfu City. He should come back to his hometown to invest."

It seemed that Lu Yang disagreed and was too embarrassed to accept the other party's glass of wine.

This was not mentioned in advance.

Before getting on the train in the morning, when all the members of the trade team gathered, Deputy Mayor Xu introduced Lu Yang to the leader of the Second Textile Machinery Factory of the City, and also mentioned that his grandfather was Ye Ziru, a technical expert of the Second Textile Machinery Factory of the City.

With this relationship, the other party naturally looked up to him.

"By the way, Boss Lu, let me introduce you to my nephew. He is also a private entrepreneur. He and a few friends have opened a labor protection shoe factory in the city. You can communicate more in the future."

Deputy Mayor Xu introduced the young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang smiled and was about to extend his hand.

The other party had already spoken: "Uncle, your introduction is not detailed enough. I used to run a labor protection shoe factory with my friend. Now we are not just making shoes. We are preparing to enter the clothing market next. So, Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I'm afraid we will become competitors."
