Chapter 421: Who Will Emerge Victorious

"I'll go first!" Wu Hongkang hesitated, choosing again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and picked one up.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Open it and see!"

Wu Hongkang opened it cautiously, then with a "pop," slapped it on the table, saying angrily.

"Nothing!"

"My turn!" Zhang Shenghui picked one up without thinking, opened it quite readily, and threw it on the table, "Nothing!"

"No need to look at this last one." Zhou Andong picked up the last one, then took the two papers in front of Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui, and tucked them into his own pocket.

"Sorry, the distillery will be built in Jiangzhou." Zhou Andong couldn't hold it anymore and laughed out loud, "Of course, in the future, when building branch factories, I guarantee that the first choice will be Jingcheng and Shanlu Province."

Wu Hongkang muttered: "Can the main factory and the branch factory be the same?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Shenghui also echoed with a complaint.

Zhou Andong shrugged: "Accept the bet and admit defeat!"

Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui didn't speak, their faces full of despair.

Zhou Andong said: "I plan to invest 80 million in the distillery. I want 40% of the shares, and 60% for you."

Zhang Shenghui said with dissatisfaction: "Why do you want 40% of the shares."

Wu Hongkang also nodded. Anyone could see that this beer factory, which had not yet been established, would definitely have great prospects.

Zhou Andong said: "Jiangzhou Distillery and Xiangjiang Qiudongfang each take 20%."

Zhang Shenghui and Wu Hongkang then remembered that Zhou Andong was also the general manager of Xiangjiang Qiudongfang, and the two agreed without thinking.

If Xiangjiang Qiudongfang invested, the beer factory would be a joint venture, not only with policy preference tilt but also with unimaginable convenience in many places.

"Fine!" Zhou Andong stood up, "My father's surgery is tomorrow, and he needs recovery treatment, so I can't leave Jingcheng for the time being. You two discuss the details, and then find a time for us to meet."

Wu Hongkang asked: "Your father is having surgery, at which hospital?"

Zhou Andong said: "General Hospital of the Military Region, Cadre Building. I'll leave you a phone number, call me then."

Wu Hongkang's heart moved. Zhou Andong's parents were farmers, yet they lived in the Cadre Building of the General Hospital of the Military Region. This kid's network was really not ordinary. No wonder the CCTV auntie supported him twice.

Tang Lin hurriedly opened his handbag, found a pen and a phone book inside, tore off two sheets, wrote down the phone number, and gave it to Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui.

"I'm leaving!" Zhou Andong said, "If you two have nothing else, continue drinking."

Wu Hongkang said: "If you have something to do, go ahead. I'll discuss the beer factory matter with Factory Director Zhang."

Zhou Andong walked to the door, suddenly turned back and said: "Old Zhang, although we will become partners, I will not show mercy in the battle between Jiang Xiaobai and Qin Chi. If one day Qin Chi fails, or even collapses, don't blame me."

Zhang Shenghui laughed out loud: "Bring it on. As long as you, Zhou Andong, can knock me down, I will definitely not have any complaints. However, if Jiang Xiaobai fails, don't blame me either."

Zhou Andong smiled, waved his hand: "Then let's see who emerges victorious in the end."

Watching Zhou Andong, Gu Bing, and Tang Lin leave the restaurant, Wu Hongkang ordered two more bottles of wine.

"Zhou Andong's father is having surgery tomorrow, should we go and see?"

Zhang Shenghui said: "Competitor or partner, Zhou Andong is definitely someone worth making deep friends with."

Wu Hongkang understood, nodded and said: "Where are you staying? I'll come to pick you up tomorrow and we'll go together."

"Our city's Beijing Office!" Zhang Shenghui mentioned it.

"Fine!" Wu Hongkang said: "Tomorrow morning, I'll come to pick you up."

Zhang Shenghui raised his wine bottle to signal, then took a sip: "I've been thinking about it, why does it feel a bit wrong."

Wu Hongkang was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"Drawing lots!" Zhang Shenghui put down the wine bottle, "That last one, we should have looked at it."

Wu Hongkang said: "It must have had an 'x', what does it matter if we look or not."

Zhang Shenghui said: "Anyway, I just feel it's not quite right, as if I was cheated by Zhou Andong."

Wu Hongkang said helplessly: "Even if you were cheated by him, it's too late to go back on it."

Zhang Shenghui gave a bitter smile: "Zhou Andong is too cunning. Working with him, you must keep an eye out, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be cheated by him."

Gu Bing unexpectedly reached into Zhou Andong's pocket and took out the three papers.

He threw away the two that had already been opened and held the one that had never been opened.

"I highly suspect that this one is also blank."

"Yo!" Zhou Andong glanced at him and mocked: "Your IQ has risen by half a tael, amazing."

Gu Bing ignored Zhou Andong, opened the paper, and Tang Lin also tilted his head to look, his eyes suddenly widening.

"Brother Dong, how did you do it?"

Zhou Andong took out another paper ball from another pocket: "Look at this!"

Tang Lin took it and opened it, and saw a big 'x' on it.

Gu Bing said with pity: "Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui were cheated by you, and they probably don't even know what happened."

Zhou Andong said: "Watch your mouth, what do you mean I cheated them? This is called 'all is fair in war'."

"You call this shameless." Gu Bing snorted. Although he said Zhou Andong was shameless, his mood was very pleasant.

Fengjing!

At that time, Jiang Huaicheng went to Jiangzhou in high spirits, the peach was ripe, and he went directly to pick it, making many people envious.

But who would have thought that at the Jiangzhou Distillery, before his chair was even warm, he was dismissed from his post, and then slunk back to Fengjing.

Not only did he become a joke to many people, but even his wife looked at him with great displeasure.

Jiang Huaicheng was depressed. His wife was thick, dark, and short. For these years, he had to turn off the lights when they went to bed, otherwise, he wouldn't have any reaction at all. Thinking that he couldn't always eat coarse grains at home, he went out to have some wild food, but didn't expect to be discovered.

The factory director was dismissed, and he was subjected to domestic violence by his wife every day, and then, he didn't dare to fight back. Because his wife's uncle was that old leader, whom he couldn't afford to offend.

This time he was dismissed again, and his thick, dark, and short wife didn't beat him, but nagged in his ear every day, and from time to time would curse his ancestors.

So, he was too lazy to stay at home. It just so happened that Xu Jinguang was looking for him, so the two found a place to drink.

"Factory Director Jiang!" After three rounds of drinks, Xu Jinguang opened his mouth, "I have a loan at the bank, and the repayment date is coming up soon. I'm a bit tight on cash. Look, can you return that ten thousand yuan to me?"

Jiang Huaicheng was a bit muddled from drinking: "What ten thousand yuan?"

Xu Jinguang was a bit anxious: "At the beginning, you said you could let me be the agent for Jiang Xiaobai, but now you are no longer the factory director of Jiangzhou Distillery. Shouldn't you return the ten thousand yuan in kickbacks I gave you?" ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
