Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 573 - 384: You’ve Hidden This Little Brother Well (Double-Length)

Development Zone, headquarters building of the Farmers’ Three Punches J Province branch.

Qi Yun and President Bi were invited to the top floor VIP reception room, where the branch manager Lin Fan personally met them.

"President Qi, hello, welcome, welcome." Lin Fan was a middle-aged man in his forties, his hair meticulously combed, looking very capable.

"Hello, President Lin." Qi Yun politely shook hands with him and introduced President Bi beside him, "This is my friend, President Bi."

Lin Fan immediately turned to President Bi, "President Bi, nice to meet you! Please have a seat, both of you."

The three sat down in the sofa area, and through the glass window, they could see a busy scene in the factory area not far away.

"Freshly brewed Da Hong Pao, please taste it." While pouring tea for the two, Lin Fan casually eyed Qi Yun, as Chairman Jiang hadn’t mentioned on the phone why Qi Yun was looking for him.

"President Lin, you’re too kind." Qi Yun sipped his tea and got straight to the point, "I came here unannounced today to discuss a business opportunity with you."

"President Qi, you shouldn’t be so formal. It’s an honor for us to have you as our guest..."

After some pleasantries, Lin Fan took the initiative to ask, "I wonder what kind of collaboration President Qi wants to discuss this time?"

Qi Yun put down his teacup and took out the ecological environment department’s water quality testing report from his briefcase, "President Lin, you might want to have a look at this first."

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Fan’s eyes as he reached for the report.

As his gaze swept over the rows of data on the A4 paper, his expression gradually became animated.

"This..." he looked up at Qi Yun, with unrestrained surprise in his voice, "President Qi, what is this report?"

Qi Yun didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "I recently happened upon a natural water source by chance, the water quality is excellent, and it has already been tested by a professional agency."

"I heard that your company has been looking for high-quality water sources in recent years, so I came to see if your company is interested in this water source."

Lin Fan tightly clutched the report and confirmed the data repeatedly; having worked in the industry for nearly twenty years, he was witnessing this grade of natural spring water for the first time.

Although it’s hard to believe, the ecological environment department stamp on the report doesn’t lie, and he believes that someone like Qi Yun wouldn’t come idle and take him for a ride.

"President... President Qi, could you reveal the location of this water source, is it... in the country?" Lin Fan’s voice was unconsciously trembling, as the report was incredibly startling.

"Of course it’s domestic." Qi Yun nodded with a smile, "And it’s right in J Province."

Lin Fan swallowed hard, forcing himself to calm down, "President Qi! Our company is very interested in this water source! How do you plan to collaborate?"

Qi Yun exchanged glances with President Bi, who took over the conversation, "Our idea is to form a joint venture."

"President Qi will be responsible for securing the mining rights of this water source and government support, while you, Farmers’ Three Punches, will provide the brand, technology, and channels."

"If needed later, President Qi can also invest additional funds."

President Bi was very skilled in negotiations, his tone calm and measured, "As for whether to establish a new company or have us as shareholders in Farmers’ Three Punches, that’s negotiable, but the bottom line is that while we won’t overly participate in management, we must have a certain degree of say."

After listening, Lin Fan adjusted his glasses, finding President Bi’s demands reasonable.

"President Qi, President Bi, I understand your intentions clearly, and I believe there’s a significant possibility for collaboration between our two sides."

"But this matter is beyond my authority, and I need to report to the head office." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

President Bi nodded, "Understandable, but you need to quickly provide a response. Considering your company is an industry leader, we chose to negotiate with you first..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Lin Fan understood the latter part.

Companies eager to collaborate over this grade of water source are plentiful.

"No problem, rest assured, we will deliver an answer in the shortest possible time, perhaps Boss Xu will personally come to discuss with the two of you."

"Great, we await the good news."

...

In the afternoon, Da Pao and Chen Wei returned to Bird City from the Capital City, and after a few days of recuperation, Chen Wei’s injuries were largely healed.

Qi Yun initially planned to give him a month off, but Chen Wei insisted on returning to work, taking over as a driver from Brother Quan.

With additional members in the team, the original dormitory was becoming cramped, so Qi Yun immediately spent six million to purchase the adjacent three-story villa.

After all, property prices in Bird City are low enough now, and even a loss wouldn’t amount to much.

The villa’s previous owner was a major cotton planter with tens of thousands of acres of cotton fields over in Northern Border, but the market has been unfavorable these past two years, making cash flow quite difficult, so as soon as the property manager contacted him, he agreed to sell.

With the location secured, Brother Quan planned a training area in the yard, and in the upcoming period, everyone except Old Ghost and Ah Jiao would undergo special training to improve their combat abilities.

Receiving guidance from a master of Brother Quan’s caliber was thrilling for everyone, naturally making them eager to cooperate...

After dinner, Qi Yun went to the study, turned on the computer, and inserted the USB drive Da Pao brought back from Japan, browsing through the files within.

Once he finished examining the photos and interviews, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

The nuclear power plant’s wastewater discharge wasn’t as harmless as claimed, instead causing severe harm locally, with many coastal fishermen suffering from serious illnesses.
