Chapter 853: Liu Yong's Intent

I said nothing else, took a drag, and stared out the window.

Li Jia just held the coffee and sipped it slowly.

The room felt a bit stuffy.

I was stunned for a moment,

Kang Yali flicked her hair,

then said, "Jianqiang, Mr. Liu sent me to see you."

"Mr. Liu, what's the matter?" I exhaled the smoke.

Now that's the real business; the earlier talk was nonsense.

"Mr. Liu, may I ask why you refused Zhuang Shi's investment in the Xue County tourism project?" Kang Yali asked.

"Oh, we didn't refuse. The terms just didn't reach agreement. By the way, Li Jia happened to come along; Li Jia, hand the contract to General Manager Kang for a look." I said to Li Jia.

"Alright, Mr. Zhao." Li Jia finished speaking, pulled the contract from the bag, and handed it to Kang Yali.

Kang Yali took it and examined it carefully.

After reading it,

Kang Yali said, "Jianqiang, Zaocheng must be the Major Shareholder; aren't the conditions too harsh?"

"What did you say, Ya Li, I can't take charge of this; it's all arranged by Tian Shi.

You understand what I mean, right?

Moreover, Tian Shi held a meeting on it, and I heard a decision has already been formed.

There's no way." I said with a smile, explaining to Kang Yali.

"It's Tian Shi's decision.

Alright then, I'll tell Mr. Liu." After finishing, Kang Yali put away the contract and handed it back to Li Jia.

"General Manager Kang, Mr. Zhao and I are just errand runners." Li Jia said with a smile as he took the contract.

"I understand. By the way, Jianqiang, how's the development of your Xue County tourism project going?" Kang Yali asked, looking at me.

"This matter is rather troublesome now. Mainly it's short of money. Zaocheng's finances aren't that great.

The money that was supposed to be invested hasn't arrived yet.

Sigh, many things are on hold." I said, looking at Kang Yali.

"Oh, Zaocheng lacks money yet still puts on a tough front; actually, whoever is the Major Shareholder can't be too serious. Besides, Mr. Liu is mainly developing in the south.

Huaihai City's Zhuang Shi has a very solid relationship with us.

Letting Huaihai City become the Major Shareholder changes nothing. The concrete operation still isn't yours." Kang Yali smiled at us.

"The principle is that principle, but I still say the same thing: I'm not the one in charge.

Ya Li,

We can't speak casually about matters we don't run.

Anyway, the Xue County tourism project isn't urgent; take it slow.

If I can't finish it in my lifetime, then let my sons' generation build it." I said with a smile.

"The Foolish Old Man moving mountains?" Kang Yali laughed.

"Right, that's probably the meaning." I crushed the cigarette in my hand.

"What era is this, Jianqiang? You're keeping up with the times. It's not like the old days where you could take it slow.

Nowadays, if a project doesn't materialize within a year or two, it becomes outdated instantly.

Actually, you're just coasting on the Xue County tourism project,

it would be better if we join forces to properly build Da Heng Group.

The current Da Heng Group is no longer yesterday's Da Heng Group.

Mr. Liu's intention is to push Da Heng Group southward.

By the way, I've already talked with Zhuang Shi; they have a piece of idle land.

We want to buy it for development.

I'd like you to head the development of this project.

In a year, the revenue will definitely surpass the current level." Kang Yali said earnestly, looking at me.

I didn't reply immediately; I took another cigarette from the pack,

"Ya Li, you still want me to be the contractor, right? Is that your idea or Mr. Liu's?"

"Mr. Liu." Kang Yali said directly.

"Oh, it's Mr. Liu's intention.

Is that about this matter? I've already made it clear with Mr. Liu in Huaihai.

A good horse doesn't eat the grass it's passed.

Ya Li, I don't want to repeat this topic; give Mr. Liu a reply.

Just tell Zhao Jianqiang that now the mud can't even support a wall.

He's no longer hopeful." I said with a smile.

"Jianqiang, alright, I've said everything that needed saying, I've conveyed Mr. Liu's intention, how to act is up to you.

I have no authority to interfere.

My personal suggestion is to come over and cooperate together.

After all, you're a very capable person, and you have a foundation in Da Heng Group; many elders listen to you.

Our Da Heng Group is also in an upward phase of its business.

I hope you'll consider it." After finishing, Kang Yali looked at me.

I waved my hand,

"I'm already old, Da Heng Group is thriving under your management.

The elder from before has almost forgotten everything.

Besides, when I was chairman back then, it wasn't much either; the fundraising hasn't been fulfilled for the big guy up to now.

Thinking about it, I really have let the big guy down.

By the way, Ya Li, you have taken over Da Heng Group,

If you truly want to help me, then return the big guy's raised funds, or at least pay the interest.

Only then will my heart be at ease."

"Jianqiang, the matter we discussed is how to help you,

The fundraising issue has been going on for ages.

Let's not bring that up.

It has nothing to do with the current Da Heng Group," Kang Yali said anxiously.

"Ya Li, that's not right; this matter was handled by you.

Now that you're back, you must fulfill it.

Otherwise, how will the big guy view you?" I deliberately provoked Kang Yali.

"Let them see whatever they want; anyone unwilling to work here can quit on the spot. Da Heng Group never lacks people.

Jianqiang, that's enough, we won't discuss this any further. I hope you won't bring it up again," Kang Yali refused.

Damn, it's really stingy. Da Heng Group already has it in hand; the fundraising is just a few million, and they won't even bother to cash it out for everyone.

I was quite angry inside.

But there's nothing I can do about my anger.

Now I'm no longer the chairman.

Actually, I really am worried that Kang Yali will cash in the raised funds, and then she can buy people's hearts.

By then, the elders and youngsters of Da Heng Group will love her to death.

At this moment I took a hard drag on my cigarette,

"Ya Li, I've said everything that needs to be said. No matter how well your Da Heng Group develops, I won't be greedy.

I will work on my tourism project; if it succeeds, that's best,

If it fails, that's fate.

Please convey to Mr. Liu that I appreciate his kind intention.

Regarding the Xue County investment, we still need to discuss it with Zhuang Shi in the future.

I hope you tell Mr. Liu to stop insisting that Huaihai City is the Major Shareholder.

We really need money,

Sigh, road construction has already started. The dock is preparing to raise funds,

and we still have to acquire land and demolish,

everywhere requires money.

Tian Shi still doesn't act concretely,

just tells us to figure something out.

Li Jia and I are caught in the middle, it's really hard.

We really want the five hundred million that Zhuang Shi holds.

But Tian Shi has already drawn a red line.

That's all for this matter," I said, deliberately looking at Li Jia.

Li Jia also said, "Kang Yali, we're in trouble.

In today's society, without money you can't do anything.

Tian Shi told us to get a loan, but the bank doesn't dare to lend.

We literally have nothing to mortgage—just a few project plans.

Forget it, Kang Yali, I won't discuss this with you any more.

Mr. Zhao, let's go. Thanks for the coffee, Kang Yali."

"Ya Li, we're leaving; let's talk again when we have time," I said and stood up.

Kang Yali stood up and saw us off.

Just as we were about to exit the private room,

I turned and whispered to Kang Yali, "Ya Li, Sun Dajun is about to come out."

Kang Yali, upon hearing that, immediately stopped in her tracks. She no longer saw us off.
