Chapter 2118: A Car That Amazes the World

Young Master Pu wasn't angry either. He pointed to the table next to them. "Since we ran into each other, let's be together. It's lively with more people."

Zhang Hua and Liu Zongmin and the others stood up and pushed the table next to them together.

Zhang Xuan didn't stand on ceremony either, saying to the few people beside her: "We're in luck, we ran into the boss. Everyone don't be polite, no need to save money for him."

What else could Zhou Andong say? He waved his hand to call a waiter over, let Zhang Xuan and the others order drinks, and then asked.

"Is the Zhongbao matter over?"

"It's finished." Zhang Xuan nodded: "A while ago, I personally took your sister-in-law back to Xiangjiang, introduced her to a very capable furniture agent, and then went to see President Yuan. There will be no more problems with Zhongbao acquiring Kanghe."

By the way, that guy Tang Lin also came back from Shanghai, borrowed 2.5 billion from me, and is going to buy No. 4 Waitan, as well as some old foreign-style houses. The procedure is going on, and the money will arrive next Monday."

"I ran into him this afternoon."

Zhou Andong only remembered this now. He remembered that Tang Lin and Old Cricket were chatting with him at the gate in the afternoon. Why did the person suddenly leave without saying hello? It was too unreasonable.

"He bought the courtyards in the hutong in front of my house again, and found workers to tear down the walls, planning to open up several courtyards. As for the loan, he didn't tell me."

At this time, the wine, snacks, and fruit platter were brought up. Zhang Hua and the others very diligently opened the wine for Zhang Xuan and her group, and then everyone clinked glasses.

Zhou Andong took a sip of wine and said to Zhang Xuan again: "You just need to go to Jiangzhou and make an appearance. Leave other matters to the people below. You need to go to Japan."

Zhang Xuan put down her wine glass: "What am I going to Japan for?"

"Develop business." Zhou Andong explained the matter. "The current situation in Japan is just the right time for us to step into Japan."

Hearing that she was going to Japan to develop business, Zhang Xuan's body suddenly filled with strength.

"Good, since we don't have the opportunity to throw shells at Japan now, let's occupy Japan with finance."

Zhou Andong laughed heartily. "Our cooperation with the Mitsui family actually has another purpose. I'm returning to Jiangzhou the day after tomorrow, and you guys are also leaving the day after tomorrow. Let's go together, and we can chat on the way."

Zhang Xuan picked up a grape and threw it into her mouth, looking at Young Master Pu: "Old Pu, aren't you digging in the dirt in Longjiang Province? Why are you suddenly back? Are you up to no good again?"

"Stop looking at people with your colored glasses." Young Master Pu snorted. "We acquired a car manufacturing factory."

"Just you lot, and you want to build cars?" Zhang Xuan curled her lip in disdain, then immediately looked at Zhou Andong: "Don't tell me you're involved too."

Zhou Andong nodded. "Our country's car industry is too backward, and those large state-owned factories are too unpromising, so I thought about trying it myself. Whether it works or not, I'll know after trying."

Zhang Xuan nodded. She couldn't look favorably upon any of these misfits like Pu Zhenrong.

Don't talk about them building cars; if they could build bicycles, it would be their ancestors smoking green smoke.

Even if she knew Shen Mingsheng was doing imported car business, she didn't believe these people could build cars.

But she had a blind belief in Zhou Andong. Since he participated, the car must be built.

"When your first car is built, give it to me to drive."

Before Zhou Andong could speak, Liu Zongmin expressed his position first. "When our first car is built, I will personally send it to sister's house. If you are in Xiangjiang, I will send it to Xiangjiang for you."

This guy was a year older than Zhang Xuan, yet he called her 'sister' without any awkwardness, and very smoothly at that. Furthermore, he didn't mention a single word about driving the first car around Chang'an Street.

Zhang Hua and the others looked at Liu Zongmin with contempt, then expressed their stance one after another: this first car must be given to Zhang Xuan.

Shen Mingsheng hadn't spoken. Since returning from Jiangzhou, he had been busy with the car manufacturing factory, but it didn't mean he didn't pay attention to Zhongbao.

After the Zhongbao negotiations that day, many people didn't understand how Zhang Xuan became the president of a Xiangjiang bank, and what relationship Zhou Andong had with this bank.

Even more bizarre was that the shareholder behind this Xiangjiang bank was a British-owned company called Jiandong International. Given Zhang Xuan's status, it would have been impossible for her to enter this bank under any circumstances.

Even if the bank agreed and the British agreed, the Zhang family wouldn't agree. Moreover, when this girl entered, the position she held was president.

Many people couldn't understand and couldn't figure it out, and Shen Mingsheng was the same. However, he had a good habit: if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.

Since Zhang Xuan could enter a Xiangjiang bank wholly owned by a British company to serve as president, it proved that it had been permitted by the Zhang family. Moreover, returning so openly to participate in Zhongbao's affairs and even obtaining a board seat...

If Zhang Xuan had issues, or the Zhang family had issues, the higher-ups would absolutely not allow this Xiangjiang bank to get involved with Zhongbao; even Zhang Xuan and the Zhang family would be subject to investigation.

Therefore, Shen Mingsheng had a guess that Qiu Dongfang, as well as that British company called Jiandong International, were likely related to Zhou Andong.

If the bosses behind Qiu Dongfang and Jiandong International were both Zhou Andong, then all the doubts could be explained.

Actually, many people had had such thoughts, not just him, but they all denied it in the end.

Zhou Andong was indeed awesome

However, when Zhou Andong acquired Sony shares for over four billion US dollars, becoming Sony's fourth-largest shareholder, this thought appeared in Shen Mingsheng's mind again, and the more he pondered it, the more possible he felt it was.

Because even if the entire Yugong Group were sold, it wouldn't be worth four billion US dollars. Where did Zhou Andong get the money to acquire Sony shares?

Furthermore, the most important point of all: the acquisition of Sony shares was orchestrated by Qiu Dongfang, and it was also Qiu Dongfang who first announced it in Xiangjiang.

Thinking this through, Shen Mingsheng was excited. If his analysis was correct, with Zhou Andong, this true big capitalist, supporting them from behind, how could their car factory not be successful?

"Boss!" Zhang Xuan looked at Zhou Andong with dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you say you didn't agree?"

"I agree!" For this hardworking beast of burden Zhang Xuan, Zhou Andong had to pamper her: "I want to build the most beautiful car in the world."

Speaking of cars, Zhou Andong thought of the "three treasures of showing off": the Sonata 8, the K5, and the Malibu.

The one he found most pleasing to the eye was the K5, so the first car he wanted to build was the K5.

The futuristic design and the fastback styling would truly amaze the whole world in this era.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly again; his drawing talent wasn't as good as Xiao Qin's.

He could only find a time to call Xiao Qin back; he would describe it, and let Xiao Qin draw it.
