Chapter 1525: Little Bei Meets Father-in-law
"Just want a development qualification?" The old man looked at Zhou Andong: "Nothing else?"
Zhou Andong raised his hand and gestured with his thumb and index finger: "There is one small thing."
"I knew it." The old man saw through Zhou Andong completely: "If it was just a development qualification, why did you have to take such a big detour with me? This one behind is your real purpose."
Zhou Andong shook his head and said: "Grandpa, see through but don't say through; say through and you have no friends."
"Don't be poor!" The old man laughed: "Hurry up and talk about business."
"To enrich the spiritual and cultural life of employees, advocate a positive, optimistic, healthy, and upward lifestyle, create a good working environment and relaxed atmosphere, and build a more beautiful spiritual home.
Most importantly, in order to accurately and quickly convey the spirit of important instructions and documents from the center, our group wants to run an enterprise TV station, but this requires approval from the center."
The old man didn't speak. Getting a development qualification for Yuxi Real Estate was no problem; he could just make a phone call and give instructions.
After all, the south had already fully opened up, and the capital opening up was just a matter of these two or three years, but a TV station license couldn't be given just like that.
If it were a state-owned enterprise, it would be easier to talk about, but now the Yugong Group was a private enterprise. Even though he trusted his granddaughter-in-law's husband Zhou Andong very much, this matter had to be handled with caution.
"The TV station license matter, I can't promise you for the time being." The old man thought for a long time before speaking: "It needs to be researched, and I'll notify you then."
Zhou Andong also knew this matter wasn't easy. The country attached great importance to propaganda positions such as radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers.
If it were a state-owned enterprise, this matter wouldn't be a problem, but for a private enterprise to run a TV station, there were many things involved.
Especially content supervision, this was still a bit troublesome.
However, Zhou Andong was confident that the old man would definitely agree, because the five hundred million US dollar loan hadn't been given yet.
"No problem, if it can be done, do it; if it can't be done, I won't force it."
How could the old man not know what kind of person Zhou Andong was? This little brat never let the hawk fly without seeing the rabbit.
If the TV station license wasn't given to him, the five hundred million US dollar loan really didn't know when it would be given.
"Before the New Year, Sony of Japan let out word that they wanted to invest in the country. It is said they want to invest fifty billion yen to build a DVD assembly plant."
Zhou Andong narrowed his eyes. If it were next year, and Sony let out such word, he would believe it.
But now, Sony's DVD research and development was estimated to have just been established, yet they said they wanted to invest in China.
And it was fifty billion yen to build a DVD assembly plant, so this was a bit intriguing.
The old man looked at Zhou Andong: "Did you smell something?"
Zhou Andong grinned: "I smelled the smell of a thief."
The old man laughed out loud: "Your Yuzhou Technology released the DVD standard, and they suddenly let out word to come and invest, and they also want to build a DVD assembly plant. This is 'the drinker's heart is not in the cup'."
Zhou Andong tapped the sofa armrest lightly with his fingers: "I hope their play isn't being sung for me, otherwise I will tear down their stage and break their bones."
The old man said with a smile: "Your tone isn't small. That's Sony. You should know how hard their bones are in your heart. If you swing an axe at them, don't break the axe instead of breaking Sony's bones."
"I naturally have my own way." Zhou Andong smiled mysteriously: "By then, perhaps I can help you earn some foreign exchange for the country."
"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows: "Now I hope Sony's play is really being sung for you."
Speaking of this, the old man sighed: "The country has no money."
Zhou Andong didn't take the bait: "They left, didn't say when they would be back?"
Seeing Zhou Andong didn't take the bait, the old man cursed "little fox" in his heart.
"They've been gone for a while, estimated they'll be back soon."
Zhou Andong accompanied the old man in Courtyard No. 6, chatting about this and that.
At this time, Zhou Anbei appeared in Madian in his big brother's Mercedes, under a six-story white residential building.
Cao Yi, wearing jeans, a black down jacket, and a ponytail, had already been waiting.
She recognized the car as her uncle's at a glance; it must be Little Bei driving.
Sure enough, after the car stopped steadily, Little Bei got out of the car, saw Cao Yi's face frozen red, and said with heartache.
"Didn't I say, you don't need to go downstairs, I'll go up myself."
Cao Yi smiled. Zhou Anbei's complaints, heard in her ears, instantly warmed her body.
"Hurry up, my dad, my mom, and my big brother and sister-in-law are all waiting for you."
Little Bei hurriedly opened the trunk, and Cao Yi took a look; the trunk was full of things.
"Are these all for your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Anbei nodded: "I was thinking that since it's my first time visiting, I must leave a good impression on my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Even if you didn't bring anything, they wouldn't blame you."
Cao Yi said so, but she was still very happy in her heart.
Bringing so many gifts wasn't a matter of money, but a matter of importance attached to her.
"We can't carry so much, let's pick two things and take them up."
"How can that work." Little Bei shook his head: "I've already brought them, how can I take them back."
Saying that, Little Bei picked up two boxes of Yugong wine: "That box is cigarettes, not heavy, you hold it. I'll come down and get the others in a while."
Cao Yi knew Little Bei very well. Usually, whatever she said was what it was, but once his stubborn temper came up, her words wouldn't work.
"Let's go!" Cao Yi was very helpless and picked up a box of cigarettes.
Just then, two middle-aged women came out of the unit door. When they saw a Mercedes parked downstairs, they were stunned.
Immediately after, the two of them landed on Cao Yi's face, and then quickly shifted to Zhou Anbei's face.
"Xiao Yi!" A chubby middle-aged woman shouted "Xiao Yi," but her eyes didn't leave Zhou Anbei: "Did relatives come to the house?"
Those who could live in this building were all leaders of various literary and art units. For example, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Cultural Palace, the Writers Association, etc.
After all, those who lived here were leaders. It was too normal for small cars to often park downstairs, wasn't it?
However, they were seeing such a big Mercedes for the first time.
After all, those who could drive this car were all real big bosses.
Such big bosses definitely wouldn't find leaders of literary and art units to handle things.
"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li!" Cao Yi didn't act coy either, put the cigarettes on the trunk cover: "This is my partner, Zhou Anbei."
"Ah?"
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li were stunned, and then laughed.
"Oh my!" Aunt Zhao kept looking at Zhou Anbei up and down: "This young man is really spirited, Xiao Yi has good taste."
Aunt Li looked at the Mercedes car logo: "Xiao Yi, what does your partner do? Driving a big Mercedes?" ===== CHAPTER 1526 =====
