Chapter 258

The other guy also stood up and called out respectfully: "Master Zhou!"

Zhou Andong, who had been feeling apologetic, had his face turn black the moment he heard the words "Master Zhou," looking quite frightening.

Seeing Zhou Andong's expression, the two guys were so scared they didn't dare to breathe. Especially the guy with soy milk all over his face; he didn't even dare to wipe it off. Fortunately, the soy milk wasn't too hot, otherwise, his face would be full of blisters by now.

"Director Zhou... Master Zhou, I didn't know it was you, I'm so, so sorry..."

Gu Bing suppressed his laughter and said to the two guys: "It's fine, it's fine, Master Zhou won't blame you."

Zhou Andong glared fiercely at Gu Bing, then sighed, said nothing, stepped out of the snack shop, and got into the car.

"Hahaha..."

As soon as Gu Bing got in the car, he started laughing loudly, and Du Chunlai couldn't help but laugh along.

"Master Zhou... hahaha... Master Zhou... haha..." Gu Bing would laugh every time he muttered it, "Oh my, I can't take it, I'm dying of laughter."

Zhou Andong lit a cigarette and waited expressionlessly for them to calm down.

"Director!" Du Chunlai caught his breath, "Your name is more fearsome than Zhao Jianlong's now."

Gu Bing rubbed his stomach, which was hurting from laughing: "Master Zhou, from now on in Jiangzhou, this brother can walk sideways."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes: "Aren't you afraid of having all three of your legs broken by someone?"

"Not afraid!" Gu Bing said: "With you, Master Zhou, covering me, who the f*** would dare."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong said helplessly: "Time is almost up, let's go."

Inside the snack shop, the two guys had no heart to eat anymore. Seeing Zhou Andong leave, they threw a ten-yuan bill on the table and walked out quickly.

After walking a long way, they stopped after entering an alley. The guy with soy milk all over his face let out a long breath, patted his chest, and said with lingering fear.

"Damn it, why would Zhou Andong go to that dump to eat?"

The other guy said: "Good thing Brother Dali told us to find a photo of Zhou Andong to look at, otherwise we would have really caused a huge disaster today."

Inside the snack shop, it had already exploded; everyone was discussing it.

"That was Zhou Andong just now."

"I didn't notice at first, but seeing him just now, it really was him."

"I actually ate in the same small shop as Zhou Andong, and he was sitting right next to me. If I tell them at work later, they probably won't believe it."

"Didn't expect Zhou Andong to be so easygoing."

"Exactly. That guy was cursing so nastily. If it were Zhao Jianlong, that guy would probably have been crippled."

"You don't know anything. Zhou Andong is a university student and the director of the Jiangzhou Winery; how can he be compared to a hooligan like Zhao Jianlong?"

Zhou Andong's great name became louder and louder as time passed and the news of Zhao Jianlong's death sentence spread.

"..."

Municipal government guesthouse, second-floor conference room. Besides Liu Qingjun, Xu Jiangshan, and Zhou Mingli from the electronics factory, there were Cheng Zhanjun, Deng Zhangli, Zuo Peiming, and people from the Audit Bureau, Land Bureau, Investment Promotion Bureau, etc. —about twenty or thirty people.

As soon as Zhou Andong walked in and saw such a big formation, he knew that today wasn't just about the acquisition of the electronics factory; there must be other matters. And the only thing he could be related to was the establishment of an industrial park.

Zhou Andong checked the time: "Why is everyone here so early? I thought I was late, and it gave me a scare."

Deng Zhangli said with a smile: "Come on, let's talk about the electronics factory acquisition first."

Zhou Andong signaled for Gu Bing and Du Chunlai to sit down: "Then let's talk about the conditions for the electronics factory."

Zuo Peiming said: "Comrade Qingjun, you tell him."

Liu Qingjun nodded: "We have no conditions, only a debt of 3.7 million to the bank, which the winery must assume after acquiring the electronics factory."

Zhou Andong frowned: "Only need to repay the electronics factory's debt?"

"Yes!" Liu Qingjun said: "The military transferred the shares to the electronics factory for free. But there is one requirement: no military products may be produced. In other words, all products previously produced by our factory involving the military are strictly prohibited from being produced."

Zhou Andong looked at Zuo Peiming: "What is the total asset value of the electronics factory?"

He knew the total assets of the electronics factory were definitely more than 3.7 million, and it was far from being insolvent.

Zuo Peiming looked at Zhao Weiyong, the director of the Audit Bureau: "You tell him."

Zhao Weiyong said: "The total assets of the factory buildings, equipment, and land are 21 million."

Zhou Andong tapped the table, pondered for a moment, and said: "Everyone is here so fully today; it must be for the industrial park, right?"

Cheng Zhanjun and Deng Zhangli looked at each other and said with a smile: "What did I say? This kid is a fox that has become a spirit; he definitely would be able to guess it."

Deng Zhangli also smiled: "Right, let's take this opportunity to discuss the establishment of the industrial park with you."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Then the land and factory buildings of the electronics factory aren't worth much."

Zuo Peiming said: "Don't you have a real estate development company? The location of the electronics factory can be called a golden area."

Zhou Andong said: "I am a 'four-haves' youth of the new era, wanting to be a model of the times; how could I take advantage of the government?"

Zuo Peiming laughed out loud: "I'd believe anyone who said that, but coming from the mouth of Director Zhou, I don't believe it."

Zhou Andong looked aggrieved: "I set my heart on the bright moon, but the moon shines on the ditch."

"Hmph!"

Cheng Zhanjun snorted: "Alright, no one is watching you act; tell us your thoughts."

Zhou Andong looked at Zhao Weiyong: "Director Zhao, how much do you value the factory buildings and land?"

Zhao Weiyong said: "80,000."

Zhou Andong tapped his head: "Your valuation is about the same as mine. Excluding the 80,000 for the land and buildings, plus the 3.7 million owed to the bank, it's a total of 12.2 million. I will give you the remaining 8.8 million without missing a cent, and you will repay the bank debt."

Everyone looked at Zhou Andong in surprise, because in their impression, Zhou Andong was the type to pluck a feather from a passing goose; they couldn't understand why he wouldn't take such a big advantage today.

Zhou Andong's motto was that anyone who didn't take advantage when they could was a bastard. But this kind of advantage—if he took it and it was dug up in the future, it would be trouble.

Even if they couldn't do anything to him, it would still be an indelible stain. It was only a few million, and he wasn't short of that money; burying a hidden danger for himself wasn't worth it.

Deng Zhangli shook his head slightly: "I don't quite understand you now. People are usually afraid of not being able to take advantage, but with you, you're afraid of taking advantage."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Didn't I just say it? I want to be a model of the times. I can take advantage of anything, but I cannot take advantage of the government. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night."
