MTL - As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store-Chapter 580 I have spent half my life here!
Chapter 580 Half of my life is here!
Old Wang didn't keep Zhou Chao waiting for long, after about five minutes, Lao Wang called.
"Young Master Zhou, I heard that you have something important to ask me. I don't know what it is!"
Hearing Lao Wang's thick voice, one can vaguely hear some anticipation.
Zhou Chao didn't go around the bush, and simply explained the matter directly.
"I don't know if you are interested, Lao Wang!"
"Yes, I am interested, of course I am interested." Lao Wang's tone was so excited that his voice trembled a little.
Thinking of the opportunity for his company to be sold abroad, Wang Jianlin is not to mention how excited he is now. As for whether the project will make money or not, he has not considered it at all. You must know that this project belongs to Zhou Chao, so he does not have to worry about what will happen. There is a shortage of funds or the project is unfinished. What I want now is to find Zhou Chao and sign a letter of intent for project cooperation!
"It's good if you are interested, Mr. Wang, you also know that I don't know many people in the real estate sector, and you are considered the best among them. We have also cooperated before, and I am very relieved of your group, but..."
Hearing this, Wang Jianlin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there are other people in Zhou Chao's consideration, or an exchange of benefits!
For a while, Pharaoh's heart was in a mess.
"Young Master Zhou, don't go around in circles, just say what you want!" Wang Jianlin was ready to be cut by Zhou Chao.
Hearing this, Zhou Chao also understood that Lao Wang might have misunderstood him, and said with a smile: "I don't have any requirements, I just don't want to see some things that cut corners, and you won't be the only one who will lose face. You don't think I'm interested in that meager profit, do you?"
Old Wang smiled awkwardly, indeed he was suspected of judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Then how can it be, Zhou Shao has given me great trust in letting me take charge of these projects, and there is absolutely no other idea!"
Zhou Chao didn’t point out Lao Wang’s careful thinking, “The general thing is like this. As for some matters related to the project, you should contact Chen Chen by yourself. At present, there is only one request, to make all the preliminary preparations as soon as possible, and start at any time!”
"You can rest assured, Mr. Zhou, as long as the project is well connected, personnel can be arranged at any time!" Lao Wang said confidently.
"Well, then I'll hang up first!" Zhou Chao hung up the phone after speaking.
Get up and walk to the window, quietly watching the snow falling outside the window.
—
Zhou Chao got up early the next morning, sat on the sofa leisurely admiring the snowy scenery outside the window, and held a cup of Hohhot’s special breakfast - milk tea!
At this moment, Hohhot has become a vast expanse of whiteness, and even the endless Yinshan Mountains in the distance have been dyed white.
"Boss, the arrangements have been made, and we can start at any time!" Lin Wu walked to Zhou Chao and said softly.
"Well, let's go!" Zhou Chao immediately stood up from the sofa and walked outside.
Today Zhou Chao is going to meet the desert control expert Yi Lao. He has known about Yi Lao’s school before, and it happens to be in the same district as Zhou Chao’s hotel, which is not far away.
The Sand Control College of Hohhot Agricultural University was not established for a long time, but its origin can be traced back to the 1960s. It was not officially established until 2016. The main purpose is to train professional talents to manage the vast domestic Deserted area.
Many older generations of sand control personnel have devoted their entire lives to desertification control from young to middle-aged to middle-aged or even old. It is precisely because of their unremitting efforts that many deserts have turned into oases again. The most famous of them is Nasaihan Dam!
Walking out of the hotel, a particularly conspicuous Rolls Royce was parked at the hotel entrance.
"Boss, please get in the car!" Lin Wu respectfully opened the rear door, not forgetting to stretch out a hand to block the door.
Looking at Lin Wu's appearance, Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile, and got into the car without saying anything.
After leaving the hotel, Zhou Chao asked, "Where did you find this car?"
"Hey, I asked Cong Shao to arrange it before. By the way, boss, I even bought some gifts on my own initiative and put them in the trunk!"
Zhou Chao nodded with a smile. He didn't expect Lin Wu to prepare a gift in advance. It was indeed a very good job.
Soon the car arrived at the Desert Control Institute. The security guard at the door originally wanted to stop the car, but when he saw the car logo, he silently opened the door and turned back to the security booth.
Lin Wu drove the car slowly and followed the road signs to find the office building. As soon as he parked the car, he attracted the attention of many people. After all, there are no luxury cars in and out of the Desert Control Institute, which naturally attracted many people to watch.
Zhou Chao was already used to this kind of scene. After getting out of the car, he waited for General Lin to pick up the gift he bought, and then walked towards the office building.
"Hello classmate, may I ask which floor your dean, Mr. Yi, is on!" Zhou Chao stopped a young boy who looked like a student and asked.
The young man looked at Zhou Chao nervously, said something about the third floor and ran away.
Looking at the young man walking away, Zhou Chao turned to look at Lin Wu and asked, "Am I so scary!"
Lin Wu said silently, "Maybe I saw that the boss is so handsome!"
Zhou Chao nodded with an expression that I agree with, "Hey, the mentality of the young people is still a little bit worse now!"
After both of them laughed, Zhou Chao realized that he was also quite narcissistic.
When I came to the third floor, I searched for a long time before I found the dean's office. The dean's office of other schools is very obvious, but the dean's office of the School of Sand Control is at the end of the corridor. If it weren't for Zhou Chao's sharp eyes Sure to find it!
Looking at the closed door, Zhou Chao knocked lightly twice, and there was also a vicissitudes of voice from inside, "Please come in!"
Zhou Chao opened the door and walked in. The first thing he saw was a gray-haired old man leaning over his desk looking at documents, holding a small magnifying glass in his hand.
"Dean Yi, hello, we are."
Before Zhou Chao finished speaking, Elder Yi said loudly: "Why are you here again? I have already told your boss clearly that I will not agree. Don't think that if I change people, I will be with you guys." Let's talk, you guys should die!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chao was stunned. Why did he hit the muzzle of the gun, and he was also inexplicably blamed.
"Dean Yi, I'm sorry, I'm not the person you said!" Zhou Chao was not angry, although he still hadn't figured out the situation and what was going on.
Elder Yi took a careful look at Zhou Chao, then at Lin Wu behind him and the things in his hands, but he didn't give Zhou Chao any good looks.
"Why are you looking for me? If you also want the patent in my hand, I advise you to go back and forth wherever you go!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chao finally understood. The feeling is that someone has taken a fancy to the various patents in Yilao's hands.
"Dean Yi, we may have some misunderstandings, and I don't have any idea about your patent. On the contrary, I have another project I want to cooperate with you!"
"Hehe, cooperation? You still want to fool me with this little trick. Someone has already used your trick before. If you are okay, young man, please go out. I have other things to do!" Dean Yi said, "I have already seen through you." Looking at Zhou Chao with a serious expression.
Zhou Chao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words. If he knew which turtle grandson made him take the blame, he would have to kick him and vent his anger.
Reluctantly, Zhou Chao took out his own business card and handed it to Dean Yi.
Dean Yi glanced at Zhou Chao in astonishment before taking the business card.
"Zhou Chao of the Mayfly Group!" Elder Yi whispered softly, and he understood in his heart that it seemed that he had really made a mistake.
Elder Yi didn’t have any ink, so he directly entered the words Mayfly Group on the computer, and a lot of information about the Mayfly Group appeared on the webpage soon. After reading it for less than a minute, Elder Yi stood up excitedly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I thought you were from Guangming Wood Industry, I'm so sorry!" Elder Yi also looked at Zhou Chao and Zhou Chao with a blunt and apologetic expression.
"It's okay, it's because I didn't make it clear before!" Zhou Chao waved his hands quickly, but he had already remembered what Elder Yi said about Guangming Wood in his heart.
"Sit down, please. I don't know what Mr. Zhou and this person will drink, boiled water or tea."
"Dean Yi, don't bother!"
After Zhou Chao finished speaking, he gave Lin Wu a look, and Lin Wu who reacted quickly put the gift he bought earlier on the seat.
"Dean Yi, this is the tea our boss bought for you, I hope you like it!"
"Ah, here." Elder Yi looked at the presents on the table in some embarrassment, not knowing what to do for a while.
When I inquired about the Mayfly Group just now, I knew the strength of this company. The foundation alone scared him a bit, not to mention that the market value of the Mayfly Group has reached the level of 100 billion.
Although he didn't know the identity of the young man in front of him, it was clear from the exquisite business card that his identity was not simple.
When Mr. Yi was in a dilemma, Zhou Chao said: "Mr. Yi, you can accept it with confidence. This is a salute from a junior to an elder!"
Hearing what Zhou Chao said, Mr. Yi was silent for a while, and nodded slowly, "Thank you, old man."
"It should be, just because Mr. Yi has struggled on the road of desertification control for so many years, it is worth learning deeply!"
Although these words seemed a bit flattering, Mr. Yi accepted it with pleasure. As a desert controler, he knew in his heart that it was not easy. He struggled in the desert day after day and year after year in order to make the desert a desert one day. To become an oasis is also the goal of thousands of sand control workers!
"I don't know why Mr. Zhou is looking for me?"
From the information I learned before, Elder Yi knew that Mayfly Group is very keen on charity. I don’t know if this visit is about this aspect. For a while, Elder Yi felt a little more looking forward to it.
Many sand control personnel who have struggled for most of their lives have persisted with their unswerving ideas. They do not expect anything in return, but only hope that the desert will become green mountains and green waters.
"To be honest, we are here this time to cooperate with you, Mr. Yi, and strive to turn all the deserts in the country into green mountains and green waters as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Mr. Yi shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, it's good that you have this idea, but sand control is not as simple as you imagined. You must know that we sand control people have worked hard for most of our lives, and it is only a matter of time." It’s just a small gain, not to mention turning the country’s deserts into oases!”
He is also very pleased with Zhou Chao, at least someone from the younger generation has set their sights on this.
A faint smile appeared on Zhou Chao's face, "Ilao, if there is a technology that can transform deserts into soil, is it possible to quickly realize de-desertification!"
Mr. Yi was stunned, but soon came back to his senses, "If there is such a technology, if all the conditions are met, the zero desert you mentioned can be realized in at most two or three years, but this is not true. It is possible, with our current scientific research technology, it will take at least a few decades to realize it!"
Zhou Chao had a smirk at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, "What if I have such technology now!"
"Absolutely impossible!" Yi Lao stood up abruptly, with disbelief in his eyes!
Looking at Zhou Chao's full confidence, the impossibility in Elder Yi's heart also wavered a little. Although he kept telling himself that this kind of technology is currently impossible, he hoped it would be true.
"If it wasn't true, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Shanghai to Hohhot, right, Mr. Yi!"
"Really?" Elder Yi suddenly became a little nervous, staring at Zhou Chao.
"Of course it is true!" The system is produced and must be a high-quality product. Although it has not been tested, Zhou Chao believes that there must be no problem.
"I can take a look!" After saying this, Elder Yi felt a little embarrassed, he knew how huge the impact would be if this technology were real.
"Not for the time being, Mr. Yi, you also know the importance of this technology, so."
Yi Lao nodded, and he also understood that it was impossible for Zhou Chao to hand over the technology to himself now, after all, today was the first time the two met.
Just as Elder Yi wanted to ask Zhou Chao how he planned to cooperate, there was a knock on the door.
Old Yi frowned, but still said, "Please come in!"
The next second, a middle-aged man opened the door and walked in, with a courteous smile on his face and two gift bags in his hands, but when he saw Zhou Chao sitting on the sofa, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Dean Yi, I didn't bother you!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Why are you here again? I have already told you very clearly that I will not cooperate with you. Please leave my office!" Elder Yi looked at the middle-aged man angrily.
For Elder Yi's anger, the middle-aged man didn't seem to notice, but still asked with a smile: "Dean Yi, I can add more money! How about 800,000!"
"I said I won't sell it if I don't sell it, even if I starve to death, I won't cooperate with you!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face also became very ugly, he turned around and left with a soft snort, but at the moment he turned around, a stern look flashed in his eyes looking at Zhou Chao.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I made you laugh!"
"Old Yi, I don't know who was who just now!" Zhou Chao asked curiously.
Hearing this, Elder Yi let out a long sigh, "Just now that man is the boss of Guangming Wood Industry, named Wei Zifeng, he has been here several times, and he has always wanted to buy a patent about the rapid growth of trees in my hand. "
Hearing this, Zhou Chao was a little puzzled.
Seemingly seeing Zhou Chao's doubts, Elder Yi continued: "This technology has a major flaw, that is, the rapid growth of trees is exchanged for permanent damage to the land!"
Zhou Chao understood in an instant, and he also understood why Mr. Yi would not sell this patented technology.
"Okay, let's not talk about him, let's continue the topic just now!"
