rebirth of cataclysm

"What are we doing now?" After Hu Jianqiang sent Hu Yandie and the others to the school gate, he came back and asked Hu Mingchen.

"Of course I'm going back to my place of residence."

"Aren't you going to find Lin Mingzhen?" Hu Jianqiang asked.

"Are you looking for him now? Even if you want to talk to him about something, you have to call and make an appointment first. Call him later and see if he has time. If so, find a place to chat." Hu Mingchen said.

"Oh, I understand. We can't appear too hasty. If we are too hasty, the initiative will no longer be in our hands and we will be passive." Hu Jianqiang said with free expression.

Hu Mingchen was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Well, haha, that's right."

In fact, Hu Mingchen had no other intention. He just felt that it was not appropriate to go to Lin Mingzhen to discuss the loan at noon, so he would wait until he got off work to chat and find out more. In the end, Hu Jianqiang understood it as a strategy. What else could Hu Mingchen say, except to agree?

Yes.

After sending Hu Mingchen to the dormitory of the sugar and wine company, Hu Jianqiang called Lin Mingzhen. During the phone call, Hu Jianqiang did not mention the word loan at all, but rambled on. In a word, it was just casual conversation.

Just friends.

"Mr. Hu, we have talked so much, do you think this is okay? I am working in the office now, and I will get off work soon. How about we find a place to get together?" After a long time of twists and turns, Lin Mingzhen finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to propose.

Meet.

"Okay, what do you mean?" Lin Mingzhen took the initiative to mention it, and Hu Jianqiang naturally didn't say anything.

"How about Xinhua Hotel?"

The last time I approached Lin Mingzhen for a loan, Hu Mingchen and the others hosted a banquet at the Xinhua Hotel. Lin Mingzhen did not expect that Lin Mingchen was really nostalgic for the Xinhua Hotel and chose this place again.

This year, two hotels were actually built in the city that are no less impressive than the Xinhua Hotel. They are more elegant and spacious. But if Lin Mingzhen is willing to go to the Xinhua Hotel again, then he can go.

"Okay, let's meet at six-thirty. Director Lin will get off work at six-thirty."

"It should be fine. It's half past six. I'll hang up now. I have to go to a meeting."

"Uncle Third, you are getting taller and taller. You can chat with Lin Mingzhen for a long time without mentioning any serious matters." After Hu Jianqiang hung up the phone, Hu Mingchen got up from the bed where he was lying, joking with a smile.

road.

"You think I'm fooling around for nothing? After all, we are still a college student. If our skills don't improve, how can we do it?" Hu Jianqiang proudly lit a chimney.

Hu Jianqiang has been studying at Liangcheng TV University for a year now. Although he does not need to take classes according to the unified enrollment, he still has to study and read.

In fact, for this TV University, Hu Jianqiang himself didn't have to study on his own. During the exam, he could find someone to take the exam for him. This kind of adult education was relatively loose. However, Hu Mingchen asked him not to follow such crooked ways.

Those who are looking for someone to take the exam don't care at all whether they can learn knowledge, they just need that kind of diploma to improve their skills.

Hu Jianqiang is the opposite. He is not a government cadre or an employee of a public institution. His diploma is of no practical use to him. Instead, he needs to actually learn some useful knowledge.

To put it simply, Hu Jianqiang needs knowledge, not a diploma.

"It's really good, Third Uncle, you have two more years to study at TVU, right? After you graduate from TVU, you can continue your studies at the Provincial University of Economics and Business, or get an MBA or something." Hu Mingchen further encouraged.

"Emba? What is that? I've only heard of MBA." Hu Jianqiang didn't understand the meaning of these four letters.

"MBA is a master of business administration, and emba is an executive master of business administration. It is difficult to study for an MBA, but maybe it is easier to study for an MBA." Hu Mingchen explained.

"No way. Isn't the MBA more advanced? It's called an executive master of business administration. How can it be simpler?" Hu Jianqiang asked without knowing why.

"This... you will know when you finish studying here and go to study. It's a bit early to tell you this now. You have to get a college diploma here first." Hu Mingchen roughly said

It is easy to understand why, but we cannot instill it into Hu Jianqiang now, otherwise he may become negative.

"That's right. I plan to go to the supermarket to see how the situation is after the New Year. Will you go?"

"You go ahead, I won't go. I'll take a rest and think about how to talk to Lin Mingzhen at night." Hu Mingchen lay down on the bed and said with his arms spread out.

Hu Mingchen was lying on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, the sky had darkened. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost six o'clock.

Hu Mingchen quickly got up from bed and called Hu Jianqiang.

"Come downstairs, I'll be downstairs right away. Wang Zhan took me to see a place just now." Hu Jianqiang on the other end of the phone said while driving.

Hu Mingchen put on his shoes and clothes and went downstairs. As soon as he stood at the roadside, the pickup truck driven by Hu Jianqiang stopped at the roadside. Hu Mingchen opened the door and got in.

"Third uncle, you just said you went to see a place, where was it?" Hu Mingchen asked as he got into the car.

"Phoenix Mountain, the land we sold to Wencui Company before, they have built a large building, Century Park Community. Next to the main entrance of this community, there is a three-story shopping mall that has not been rented. Wang Zhan means to rent it and open it.

It’s a big supermarket, so I’ll go check it out with him. Not to mention, the location is really good.” Hu Jianqiang said after starting the car.

"How is this good?"

"The first is the large area, at least 6,000 square meters, and the second is the good location, right next to the gate of Century Park Community, and there are two newly built communities around it. The third is that we made a profit there.

Apart from two small supermarkets and a few shops, there are no decent supermarkets or shopping malls there. I

If we move in at this time, it will definitely be an exclusive business. Another point is that the people who can buy houses there are all in pretty good condition and they have the spending power. But... we don’t have the money to take it now.

Come down." At the end of the sentence, Hu Jianqiang himself wrote off the benefits mentioned above in one sentence.

"It means you have contacted Wencui Company?" Hu Mingchen asked speculatively.

"Not yet. I haven't discussed with you yet what the purpose of contacting them is. Wang Zhan didn't know you were back so he asked me to go."

"How come you know you can't get it if you haven't contacted me yet? But you are right about one thing. We have no money now. Hahaha, let's do this. After talking to Lin Mingzhen, I will ask Luo Xiaoting again. Let's see.

What conditions do they want?" Hu Mingchen said.

Hu Mingchen is relatively familiar with several people in Wencui Industrial Co., Ltd., but the relationship was formed when the land was sold. It is not yet known whether Luo Xiaoting will take care of it, so Hu Mingchen did not say anything to death.

"But I heard that Luo Xiaoting has returned to Qianliang, and Wei Dongfang is in charge of Liangcheng's business." Hu Jianqiang said.

"She went back to Qianliang City? I don't know that yet... Yes, we haven't contacted her for a long time. How could she, a wealthy lady, stay in a small place like Liangcheng for a long time?" Hu Mingchen said happily. road.

"Then you can also ask Wei Dongfang. We all know him, and doesn't Wei Dongfang have some friendship with Xu Tiancai? At worst, we can ask Xu Tiancai to help us talk." Hu Jianqiang suggested.

"Today is different from the past. When looking for Xu Tiancai, I might as well go directly to Wei Dongfang. How much face do you think Wei Dongfang will give Xu Tiancai in terms of profits? It is unlikely, especially for us. When Wei Dongfang came to us to buy I didn't make concessions to him when we were here, and he doesn't know how to do it now. Besides, you always have to pay back a favor, and it's not good to owe too much." Hu Mingchen sighed.

In the past, when I had no money, it was easy to ask for help. Now that I have a career foundation, it is actually harder to ask for help.

In the past, Xu Tiancai might have helped Hu Mingchen and the others out of some kind of relationship, but now, the interests have naturally increased, and the so-called friendship has dropped significantly. If Xu Tiancai is approached now, he will definitely write down this debt of gratitude. Waiting for later use.

"That's true. We're here. It's six twenty-five now. Should we go in or wait at the door?" At this time, Hu Jianqiang drove the car to the door of Xinhua Hotel.

"Of course, let's go in. What are you waiting for at the door?" After the car stopped, Hu Mingchen opened the door and got out.

Last time, Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang were waiting for Lin Mingzhen at the door of the hotel. Of course, Xu Tiancai was also there. But that time, Hu Mingchen and the others were completely asking for help. Their strength was still very weak, so of course they had to be cautious and respectful.

But today is different from the past. Hu Mingchen and the others have already gained strength, and Lin Mingzhen mentioned the loan first. It would be low-level to wait for him at the door any longer.

This is not because Hu Mingchen is arrogant or arrogant. It's that he should play a role based on his strength. If he and Hu Jianqiang were still waiting for Lin Mingzhen at the door, how would Lin Mingzhen view them? Would he still value them? I'm afraid not anymore.

When people from the bank's credit department go out, most people will be asking for flattery. But Hu Mingchen has to try to change. He can't keep his waist bent. If he bends for a long time, he won't be able to straighten up.

The two of them entered the hotel, booked a private room, ordered tea, and sat down to wait for Lin Mingzhen to arrive.

At 6:30, which was better, Lin Mingzhen did not show up. It was not until 6:43 that Hu Jianqiang's mobile phone received a call from Lin Mingzhen.

"Mr. Hu, what's going on with you? Didn't we agree to be at the Xinhua Hotel at half past six?" Lin Mingzhen's voice on the phone made him very unhappy and choked up.

"Director Lin, we are already here. We were even five minutes early."

"Are you here? Then why didn't I see you at the door or in the hotel lobby?" Lin Mingzhen asked in a rough voice, with a condescending air in his words.
