Chapter 944

Zhou Andong chatted with Man Hongshan about the spin-off and financing of Xurishang, then hung up the phone and dialed Wu Huilin's office.

"President Wu, this is Zhou Andong!"

"Chairman Zhou!" Wu Huilin's voice came from the receiver: "Is it about Xurishang going public?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong said: "You immediately start splitting Xurishang and evaluate Xurishang's market value so we can raise funds."

"I'll hold a meeting immediately. Our key work next will be Xurishang going public." Wu Huilin asked again: "Are we seeking external financing?"

"No need!" It was impossible for Zhou Andong to seek external financing: "Xurishang's shareholders consist of Yugong Group, Xiangjiang Qiudongfang, Jiandong International, Xurishang's management, and employees."

Wu Huilin chuckled. Isn't this just moving from the left hand to the right hand? However, she also understood Zhou Andong's intention for letting Jiandong International hold shares.

Xurishang is going to be listed in Xiangjiang. Having Jiandong International, a British-affiliated company, come forward to operate it is much more convenient than Xiangjiang Qiudongfang, a Xiangjiang-affiliated company, and there won't be any resistance at all.

Zhou Andong and Wu Huilin were chatting when the ward door was knocked. Jian Qiu went to open the door, and it was Wu Hongkang who came.

Zhou Andong nodded at Old Wu and chatted with Wu Huilin for more than half an hour before ending the call.

And Wu Hongkang had been chatting with Old Comrade Zhou in the inner room until Zhou Andong finished the call before he came out.

"Why did you run over here?" Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and handed one to Wu Hongkang.

Wu Hongkang took the cigarette: "I called you, but I couldn't get through, so I had to come over and see for myself."

"I didn't expect there to be so many things today either." Zhou Andong took a lighter and lit the cigarette for Wu Hongkang: "How much are you planning to invest?"

Wu Hongkang asked: "Are you so sure I will agree?"

"If you didn't agree, why would you run over here yourself?" Zhou Andong lowered his head and lit his cigarette.

"Makes sense!" Wu Hongkang nodded.

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at him: "Tell me, how much are you planning to invest."

Wu Hongkang held up two fingers: "Twenty million?"

Zhou Andong was very surprised: "So much?"

Wu Hongkang said proudly: "I went to find the leader of the Light Industry Bureau last night, and he approved twenty million for me directly."

"Your leaders really have courage." This was really beyond Zhou Andong's expectations: "Did Old Zhang call you?"

"No!" Wu Hongkang shook his head: "If he were to call, he would definitely call you first."

Zhou Andong checked the time; it was only past ten o'clock. If Zhang Shenghui didn't call before one o'clock in the afternoon, it would probably be tough.

Wu Hongkang continued: "I want to go to Xiangjiang with you."

"No problem." Zhou Andong said: "Get ready. We'll leave the day after tomorrow, the 31st."

"So urgent!" Wu Hongkang stood up and was about to leave: "I'll go apply for a Xiangjiang and Macau pass now. There are also quite a few things in the factory that need to be handed over."

"Wait!" Zhou Andong said to Jian Qiu: "Give him the Xiangjiang Qiudongfang account."

Jian Qiu found paper and pen, wrote down the Xiangjiang Qiudongfang Xiangjiang company account number, and handed it to Wu Hongkang.

"Wire the money directly to this account."

Wu Hongkang took the note and tucked it carefully into his pocket. He still had to find Qin Haimin, because foreign exchange cannot be wired out without going through official channels.

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu saw Wu Hongkang out of the ward and didn't return until they saw him get on the elevator.

"Mom!" Zhou Andong called out: "My mother-in-law wants to take Su Su back to Fengjing for a few days. Please pack up the child's clothes and diapers."

Yuan Liying came out of the inner room: "How many days will she stay?"

Zhou Andong picked up the remote control and turned on the TV: "We'll come back together when my father-in-law has time, and then our two families will meet."

"Okay, I'll pack up now."

As a grandmother, she was a bit reluctant, after all, she had been taking care of her for so long and she was by her side every day.

It's just that the child's grandmother wants to take her for a few days, so no matter how reluctant she is, she can't say anything.

At this time, a burst of joyful laughter sounded on the TV.

"Do you know why it's called a trombone? Because it's longer than a trumpet..."

"Luosang Learning Art!"

Zhou Andong murmured. The TV was rebroadcasting "Quyuan Zatan," and the screen showed the crosstalk of the master and apprentice pair, Bolin and Luosang.

Looking at Luosang on the TV, Zhou Andong said softly: "What a pity."

"What's a pity?" Jian Qiu tilted her head and glanced at Zhou Andong.

"Nothing." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "This crosstalk has major flaws in its writing. If I wrote it, with Luosang's talent, the effect would definitely be even better."

"Stop bragging!" Jian Qiu didn't believe it: "However, Luosang is truly talented."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The ward door was knocked again. Jian Qiu got up to open the door. It was actually Jia Hongbin from Chaoyang, carrying gifts in his hand, and his secretary also had quite a few things in his hands.

"District Mayor Jia, why did you come here? You could have just made a phone call if there was anything."

Jian Qiu politely let Jia Hongbin in, and Zhou Andong got up to welcome him.

"Leader, you came is enough, why bring so many things."

Jia Hongbin put the things on the coffee table and said with a smile: "I know your father is recuperating here, how could I come empty-handed."

At this time, Yuan Liying came out of the inner room, and Zhou Andong introduced them to each other: "Mom, this is District Mayor Jia Hongbin from Chaoyang."

"Sister-in-law, hello!" Jia Hongbin reached out and shook hands with Yuan Liying.

"Leader, please sit down, don't stand."

At this moment, Yuan Liying appeared very calm, unlike before when she would be nervous upon seeing leaders.

Jia Hongbin said: "Old brother is in the inner room, right? I'll go see him."

"Yes!" Zhou Andong, Jian Qiu, and Yuan Liying accompanied Jia Hongbin into the inner room.

Old Comrade Zhou had already heard that a big leader had come, so he easily propped up his body and leaned against the head of the bed.

"This is my father, Zhou Xiaoxin. Dad, this is District Mayor Jia Hongbin from Chaoyang."

"District Mayor Jia, hello!" Old Comrade Zhou reached out both hands.

Jia Hongbin stepped forward to shake hands with Old Zhou: "Old brother, how is your physical recovery?"

Old Comrade Zhou said with a smile: "The recovery is very good. Now if I pinch my legs, I can feel pain. Moreover, holding onto things, I can stand up by myself. Although I can only hold it for a few seconds, this is already a considerable miracle. I believe that as long as I persist, I will definitely stand up."

"For an injury like yours, as long as you have perseverance, you can definitely recover." Jia Hongbin said: "I came from a military background. A comrade-in-arms was almost blown to death by a shell.

During the surgery, seventeen pieces of shrapnel were removed from his body, one of which was on his lower back spine. At that time, the doctor said his life was saved, but he would never stand up again.

But he didn't believe it. Relying on his own perseverance, he insisted on recovery exercises every day. Just like that, he stood up bit by bit. Although he still can't walk like a normal person and go wherever he wants, he can already take care of himself and doesn't need family members to serve him."

Hearing such words, Old Comrade Zhou became even more confident: "I don't need to be like a normal person, as long as I can take care of myself."
