Chapter 643: Cooperation

At three in the afternoon, Ren Dalao finally lifted his head from the documents.

The assistant was very perceptive, immediately went out to make a call, and had someone deliver a meal.

The complicated documents left the boss's mind in a tangled mess.

He spent a while organizing them before realizing how important they were to him.

This is a path, not one where you have to feel your way across the river by touching stones.

Although he still had to proceed step by step, his mind was no longer filled with apprehension.

His eyes were full of courage.

No matter how many hardships he might face in the future, he would not hesitate.

"Thank you, Manager Yang; these materials are incredibly precious to anyone."

"Manager Yang, however, generously gave them to me."

"If I were still not perceptive, I would be utterly clueless about how to be a person."

"We accept Manager Yang's investment."

Although Manager Yang stands to gain a hundredfold return here, he still has some understanding of venture capital.

Because there are several such firms in the Te Qu, their conditions are even stricter, with many even working for others.

Manager Yang's investment appears profit-driven, yet shows no sign of seeking to take over the company.

Moreover, they are very professional, not only providing money but also guidance and management support; money is tangible, while these are intangible.

These intangible things are worth countless times more than money.

Yang Qing breathed a sigh of relief; for these destined-to-succeed people, Yang Qing originally had no investment plan.

Because your joining will, without being noticed, make the company better.

It will even intervene in the other's fate; the soldier's resilience means Ren Dalao is destined not to fear hardships.

He seemed a bit redundant.

But Yang Qing still couldn't resist acting, because he now had a connection with the Yang Family.

They can also be considered partners, which brings the possibility of mutual support and going further together.

After receiving Ren Dalao's nod, Yang Qing clapped his hands.

"Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Afterward, he probed further.

"Should we discuss this with others?"

Ren Dalao nodded, then shook his head.

"I will handle these matters."

Yang Qing extended his hand.

"Then I'll wait for your call; I'm always ready here to sign the contract."

"Okay, Manager Yang, I won't keep you waiting long."

Ren Dalao is very confident; the company's name already reveals his intentions.

At that moment, the assistant entered with the food.

"Manager Yang, Manager Ren, it's time to eat."

Ren Dalao instantly felt embarrassed.

"Sorry, sorry, I delayed Manager Yang's meal."

"There's nothing to apologize for; isn't that just how work is?"

"You must be starving too; let's eat while we talk."

If Yang Qing had a system, it would surely chime now, then congratulate the host on conquering a Child of Fate, rewarding ……

But now, Yang Qing is happier than receiving a reward because he has met Ren Dalao.

As they ate, they began discussing Mao's Selected Works.

Both praised the teacher's strategic views without cease.

This is wisdom that has permeated the millennia‑long historical sediment of Daxia.

A person's life is, after all, nothing but a series of battles.

Ren Dalao also greatly admired Yang Qing's big‑picture perspective, and he recounted Yang Qing's deeds in detail.

From vegetable racks to agricultural technology stations, from long‑term rentals to the real‑estate market……

Seeing the big picture from small things let him benefit greatly.

Yang Qing silently sighed in shame; he was merely a foresighted person, and without the advantage of transmigration, he was nothing more than a wage‑earner.

Toyed cruelly by the gears of fate.

Having endured too many unresolved regrets, he grieves over his own inadequacy.

He feels melancholy late at night, angry online, groveling, scraping by.

This is the fate of most people.

Yang Qing has never betrayed his class; he understands all too well the helplessness and sorrow.

Over ten years, some people are indeed miserable, but what is their misery compared to the forty million ordinary people?

Yet their perceived suffering is the lifelong reality of forty million people.

Yet some have people to vindicate them, but how many truly sympathize with ordinary folk?

Only the teacher.

Those bureaucrats, landlords, and the well‑off can beat their chests and rail against that history.

But ordinary people cannot.

The two talked more and more congenially, unconsciously bringing up that period of time.

Yang Qing's frank opinion won Ren Dalao's sincere treatment.

Although Yang Qing himself was a victim, he could still say such words.

This is enough to prove that Yang Qing is a noble person.

This dispelled much of their mutual resentment, giving them a feeling of mutual sympathy.

After seeing Ren Dalao off, Yang Qing remembered there was another guest in a different reception room.

After repeatedly considering, Luo Weide also spent several hours communicating via the reception room's phone.

A preliminary idea had already taken shape.

Yingshan was willing to contribute snakegrass water to the new company.

The management system reform can also follow Hong Qing's approach.

However, the Qingdao Soda Factory must obtain the corresponding proportion of profits each year.

Put plainly, if the snakegrass water makes money, they must accept blood‑drawing.

Since it's not theirs, they couldn't care less about the new factory's development and future.

If Luo Weide weren't reluctant to leave his current position, he would actually want to go into the shopping mall business.

Tempted by fame and profit, how could he possibly give up a respectable section‑level official post to become a despised "old nine"?

After the talks concluded and he had made up his mind, Luo Weide pushed open the reception room door, had someone notify Yang Qing, and declared that he had decided.

Yang Qing thought this person had already left, but he was still in the reception room.

He couldn't understand: here, free air conditioning blows, free phones are used, free cold drinks are drunk, free meals are eaten, using the toilet is of palace‑level luxury, and if he wants to sleep, there are soft, plush leather sofas.

With such a fine place, who would willingly leave easily?

(In this era, the mindset of taking advantage is pervasive from top to bottom, a result of historical causes—taking advantage of the public domain, the advantage ultimately belongs to oneself.)

When Yang Qing saw Luo Weide again, the latter already showed confidence on his face.

Yang Qing joked.

"How about it, Factory Director Luo, have you made up your mind?"

Luo Weide knew the old tactics were useless, so he stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"Mr. Yang, we can bring out the snakegrass water, build a factory in the Te Qu, and operate it independently."

"But after the company turns a profit, each year a portion of the profits must be handed over to support the parent company."

Yang Qing shook his head directly.

"That depends on the company's development plan; everything prioritizes the company, and dividends can be paid only if there is surplus profit."

"If you lack funds, I can help you find buyers; someone will surely be interested in your shares."

The other side compromised, and Yang Qing was unwilling to press further.

But the other side harbored ill intentions, so Yang Qing had to think about the future.

Snakegrass water is merely a category.

Growing is difficult, but if the Qingdao Soda Factory, for its own reasons, gives up the snakegrass water, Yang Qing can find it a good home.

Yang Qing still has many drinks derived from traditional Chinese medicine that could be formed into a health‑drink company.

The future health concept has great market potential; Shi Dazhu is a talent who could perhaps be brought in to help.
