Chapter 1227

Arriving at the study, the old men all had gloomy faces, looking at Zhou Andong, which made this guy feel hairy in his heart.

"Cough!"

Zhou Andong coughed: "Grandpa, the heating in your room is too strong, the air is too dry, and my throat is uncomfortable as soon as I come in. I'll go and bring a basin of water to put in the study, it will be much more comfortable to increase the humidity."

After speaking, he turned and walked out, then closed the door, muttering: "These old foxes must have guessed his thoughts."

"Why did you come out again?" Jian Qiu asked curiously.

"The air in the study is too dry, I'm going to fetch a basin of water."

Zhou Andong walked toward the kitchen, pondering in his heart how to negotiate with these old foxes.

Should he go straight to the point or proceed step by step, should he wait for work at ease or catch by letting go?

When he came out of the kitchen with a basin of water, he had already made up his mind. These old guys had played the art of war for a lifetime, and he, a simple child, definitely couldn't play with them, so it was better to go straight to the point.

In the study, Man Man Laoyezi Liu said helplessly: "I said it, your deterrent is useless to him."

Ye Tuan sneered: "Look at you, adding up to nearly a thousand years old, being led by the nose by a 'little sparrow' who hasn't grown hair. And you still have the face to give him a deterrent. If he were afraid, he wouldn't have done that just now."

"Tell me, those young people now, even the few with the most talent and ability, aren't they regular and respectful when they see us?"

The short old man looked at Jian Hongzhang: "Look at your granddaughter's husband again, I really don't know where you found such a monster. We have so many old guys standing here, and he actually treats it as nothing."

"Are you envious?" Man Man Laoyezi Jian was very proud: "It's a pity, it's useless to be envious, he is my granddaughter's husband."

"Pah!"

The tall old man spat: "What's there to be proud of? There are many young people with ability and talent in this world, not just Zhou Andong."

Hearing this, Man Man Laoyezi Jian smiled: "I agree with this, but so far, which young person has turned a local winery on the verge of bankruptcy into a nationally famous enterprise in two years?

Which young person launched Binghongcha and Very Cola, and only used one year to occupy half of the domestic beverage market share, making beverage giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi unable to lift their heads?

Which young person, when the country needed it, went to Hong Kong without hesitation, planned and commanded, not only solved the problem of sugar shortage in the country, but also earned billions in the sugar futures market, and it was US dollars?

Which young person, facing the siege, attack, and abuse of so many poisonous reporters and so-called public intellectuals, could shout: I have no regrets entering China in this life, and I will be Chinese in the next life?"

Man Man Laoyezi Jian's words were really hateful. He didn't say these things, and these old guys chose to forget them. But now that they were said, the old guys were so envious and jealous that they gritted their teeth.

Old thing, what's there to be proud of? Isn't it just having a beautiful granddaughter? Don't we have one? But thinking about it, he was discouraged again. What if he had a granddaughter? He didn't have the luck of this old thing surnamed Jian.

Just then, the study door was knocked, and Zhou Andong walked in with a basin of water.

As soon as he came in, he found that the atmosphere was wrong, even more weird than when he came in just now.

Zhou Andong carefully put the water basin on the ground, then swept a circle.

"Grandpa, what's the matter with calling me in just now?"

Man Man Laoyezi Jian said: "About borrowing money from you."

"Oh!" Zhou Andong looked distressed: "Grandpa, my small family and small business are really difficult now. Since you are not short of money, don't worry about my little money anymore..."

"One-fifth of the mining rights." The tall old man snorted: "300 million US dollars, give you one-fifth of the rare earth mining rights in Ganzhou."

Zhou Andong's voice suddenly became smaller: "This is not a matter of how much rare earth mining rights, mainly because my big stall, the place where money is used is too..."

"One-fourth of the mining rights." The tall old man said again: "I tell you Zhou kid, this 300 million US dollars is just a loan, not asking you for it, and will pay you interest.

We have made the greatest concession for this one-fourth of the mining rights, don't push your luck."

"Pushing my luck?" Zhou Andong stiffened his neck: "If you old man say so, then I have to talk to you properly.

You said this 300 million US dollars is a loan, but I want rare earth mining rights, and I'm not playing empty-handed, I have to take out real money and pay the contracting fee.

Don't talk about paying me interest. You old man might not know how much profit this 300 million US dollars creates in my hands in a year. For example, this time in the sugar futures market, I only invested 200 million US dollars.

You tell me, how many years of interest do I have to collect if I lend the money to you to reach my profit in this sugar futures? And the account is not calculated as one plus one equals two..."

Zhou Andong's words made the old guys present silent. Indeed, the benefits brought by 300 million US dollars in Zhou Andong's hands are unimaginable.

But then again, the problems this 300 million US dollars can solve for the country cannot be simply measured by benefits. But they couldn't say this, because they knew clearly that it was useless to say it in this situation, because what Zhou Andong wanted was rare earth mining rights.

The short old man asked: "How much do you want?"

Zhou Andong didn't pull anything else, and went straight to the point: "After this matter is over, after the rare earth integration, based on the official reported storage, half of the mining rights."

"No!" The short old man refused without thinking: "You also know the importance of rare earth. Before, there was no way. But since there is this action, the country cannot hand over half of the rare earth mining rights to individuals.

Even if you are Old Jian's granddaughter's husband, even if we know you have a heart of innocence and patriotism, it won't work. Unless, let state-owned enterprises buy shares."

"Impossible." Zhou Andong also refused without hesitation: "I would rather give up entering the rare earth industry than cooperate with state-owned enterprises. It's not that I look down on those leaders of state-owned enterprises, but I really don't look up to them."

The old guys were speechless. We haven't read much, but you can't fool us. Don't look down on and don't look up to mean the same thing?

However, they also understood Zhou Andong's words. Some people are really occupying positions and not doing things, not good at running enterprises, but top-notch at internal fighting.

Not to mention others, just talk about the Jiangzhou winery, they all know Zhou Andong's experience clearly.

So, Zhou Andong said this, and they couldn't refute it.
