Chapter 2022: I'm Not Interested in Money
This did not exceed Zhou Andong's expectations. As long as Chen Quan's brain was not broken, it was impossible to block the cooperation between Future Culture and Zhou Xianyong.
"This morning, before I came back, I went to find Chen Quan, the leader in charge, to talk. I moved him with emotion and reasoned with him, and finally he was moved by my sincerity and passed your cooperation."
After such a long time of contact, Zhou Xianyong knew Zhou Andong's character very well. For his words, Zhou Xianyong would only believe three points, and even felt that these three points might be watery.
Therefore, on this matter, he did not fully believe Zhou Andong's words. The so-called moving with emotion, reasoning, and being moved by sincerity, in Zhou Xianyong's view, this kid must be bragging.
However, his cooperation with Future Culture had been blocked for so long, and it suddenly passed today. It is hard to say that this kid didn't exert effort from it.
"I'll believe what you said for now."
For Zhou Andong's words, Zhou Xianyong, the uncle, still had reservations. It was really that he was scared by Zhou Andong. Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, as long as it was related to Zhou Andong, he had to be careful.
Zhou Andong said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you believe me?"
"Have you ever thought about why I don't believe you?"
"Humph!"
Zhou Andong snorted: "It must be that you are using the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman, and your thinking is too dirty."
Zhou Xianyong was about to say something when he saw a group of people coming outside the open banquet hall door.
It was Deng Zhangli and Ma Xiaotong, and the singers of Future Culture, a group of people walking over with laughter and laughter.
Looking at Deng Zhangli, who was laughing and laughing with Ma Xiaotong, Zhou Andong sighed very much. He, the dignified Chairman of Yugong Group, actually fell out of favor and was left aside by Old Deng, who had been accompanying Ma Xiaotong. Where can he go to reason?
"Mayor Deng, President Ma!"
Zhou Xianyong walked up quickly. He was also invited by Deng Zhangli to attend tonight's banquet.
As for Zhou Wanyu and Zhou Qianyi, the negotiations on the acquisition of the textile factory had reached the end, and they were busy now, working until midnight every day, so naturally they had no time to attend this banquet.
If the protagonist of this banquet was not Future Culture, Zhou Xianyong would definitely not come.
Especially after receiving the notice from the competent department that his cooperation with Future Culture had passed, he definitely wanted to chat with Ma Xiaotong.
Deng Zhangli said with a smile: "It is said that you have cooperation, so you should be quite familiar, so I won't introduce you."
Ma Xiaotong shook hands with Zhou Xianyong: "I didn't expect President Zhou to be in Jiangzhou too."
"I've been here for half a month." Zhou Xianyong asked: "Our cooperation has been approved by the Ministry of Commerce, you should know, right?"
"Approved?"
Ma Xiaotong was very surprised. She knew a little bit about the inside story, so the sudden approval of the cooperation must have something to do with Zhou Andong. She naturally raised her head and looked at Zhou Andong standing at the door of the banquet hall.
"I just came out this morning and didn't receive any notice. I'll call the company in a while to ask."
"You don't know yet?"
Zhou Xianyong also glanced at Zhou Andong, with a look of "as expected" on his face. You kid is just bragging, our cooperation approval passed, it has nothing to do with you at all.
Zhou Andong saw Zhou Xianyong's proud little look, but the two of them didn't speak loudly, and Zhou Andong didn't hear clearly.
Jiang Mingsheng's face was full of enthusiastic smiles, and he kindly introduced to President Ma and more than 30 singers.
"President Ma and all the singers have been on the bus for a whole day, so you must be exhausted. We have prepared a sumptuous meal, let's go in and chat while eating."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Deng Zhangli made a gesture of invitation: "Let's chat while eating."
For this music festival, not only Deng Zhangli personally, but the entire municipal leadership team paid high attention and attached great importance to it.
They knew very well that this grand musical feast would not only attract the attention of many audiences, but also be an excellent opportunity to display Jiangzhou's unique charm, enhance the city's image, and shape Jiangzhou's city card.
Therefore, the city went all out to support this activity to ensure that everything was perfect. And Chen Wenqi, as the secretary, also looked forward to this music festival.
He hoped that through this activity, more people could understand the beautiful city of Jiangzhou and feel its unique cultural atmosphere. To this end, the city went all out and gave all-round support.
A group of people entered the banquet hall. The banquet was provided in the form of a buffet. In addition to Chinese and Western food, there was naturally no shortage of Jiangzhou's special barbecue.
Zhou Andong didn't lean in front of Deng Zhangli and the others, but was gnawing on a chicken leg, scanning around like a radar.
Finally, he found Zhou Yu. He said, Jiangzhou has no fun places, and this kid has no friends here. How could he not come on such an occasion today?
Zhou Yu was holding a handful of lamb skewers, sitting in the corner, eating without regard for his image.
Zhou Andong walked over, sat down beside Zhou Yu, and made a sound of "tsk tsk" in his mouth.
"Been in Jiangzhou for half a month, haven't you eaten barbecue?"
"Eaten, and quite a lot." Zhou Yu wiped his mouth with his hand: "It's just that these lamb skewers, I think they are really delicious when grilled here, mainly because they don't cost money."
Zhou Andong said unhappily: "Are you short of money?"
"Nonsense, in this world, how many people will say they are not short of money?"
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, but immediately, he slapped his thigh with an oily hand.
"By the way, you are not short of money. You donated 1 billion US dollars at once, and took out 4.2 billion US dollars to acquire Sony shares."
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You know this too?"
"Can I not know?" Zhou Yu fiercely ate a lamb skewer: "Don't talk about newspapers and TV, now if you walk around the street, everyone is discussing this matter, and they are guessing how much money you have."
Saying that, this kid leaned towards Zhou Andong very mysteriously and called out affectionately.
"Brother, can you secretly tell me how much money you have?"
"How much money do I have?" Zhou Andong pondered very seriously: "I really don't know. My wife manages the finance, and I have never touched money, because I am not interested in money."
"..."
Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Andong for a while, and then fiercely ate a lamb skewer again: "Is this what a person says? Since you are not interested in money, then lend me some, I am really tight on money during this period."
Zhou Andong nodded: "It's not impossible to lend you money."
These words made Zhou Yu perk up. He threw the lamb skewer to the table on the side, and Zhou Andong's hand shook.
"Brother, from now on you are my own brother. Whoever dares to say a word about you, I promise to beat him until he finds his teeth all over the floor."
(Originally expected to arrive home at four or five o'clock, but there was a traffic jam on the highway, and later encountered heavy rain on the national road. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived home. Tired and exhausted, I insisted on writing this chapter. Brothers, I am sorry.)
