Chapter 209 Just because he helped you
Zhao Peng felt that Yuan Wei's drinking capacity was the same as Yuan Wei's temperament, which was a shining point for him. However, everyone who drinks is the same. When the drink is down, the words are squeezed out.
While chatting, we talked about the Zhao Group again. Yuan Wei told Zhao Peng that he met Jiao Qinglong, chairman of Qinglong Real Estate Company, in the lobby of Shangri-La Hotel. Speaking of Jiao Qinglong, Yuan Wei is more respectful. Jiao Qinglong should be the most successful real estate company in Dongbin.
However, Zhao Peng felt from Yuan Wei that Yuan Wei did not appreciate the reason for the success of Qinglong Real Estate Company. Because Jiao Qinglong is the cousin of the executive vice mayor Hua Chengyuan, because Hua Chengyuan is a native cadre in Dongbin and has a very deep foundation. Therefore, Jiao Qinglong's business world in Dongbin can be said to be like a fish in water and has developed very fast.
Hearing what Yuan Wei said about Jiao Qinglong, Zhao Peng asked, "Brother Yuan, do you think Jiao Qinglong is your biggest opponent?"
Yuan Wei smiled and said, "I should have a lot of opponents, but I think Jiao Qinglong has sought cooperation with Zhao's Group. Then he naturally takes a big lead. After all, he has a cousin who is the executive deputy mayor. I think Zhao's Group will definitely take this relationship into account.
Of course, Zhao Peng understands this truth. No matter how strong Zhao's Group is, he is an enterprise after all. It is natural to have a good relationship with the government. With Jiao Qinglong's relationship, if you want to have a good relationship with the government, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. If Zhao Peng was his father, he would also take this relationship into account.
However, Zhao Peng feels really good about Yuan Wei. He really hopes that Yuan Wei can succeed.
Another thing that Yuan Wei admires Zhao Peng most is that he is optimistic and open-minded. Although he knows that there are not many opportunities, he is still optimistic and his mood is not affected in any way.
When Zhao Peng sent Yuan Wei away, it was already dark. He returned to the private room and carefully thought about the cooperation between Yuan Wei and Zhao Group. After thinking about it for a long time, he thought that his father would choose Jiao Qinglong. However, this was not the result that Zhao Sanshao wanted. He decided to call and talk to his third uncle.
The phone call, and the third uncle is having dinner. After listening to Zhao Peng's inquiry about cooperation, he revealed to Zhao Peng that Yuan Wei's performance was very good, and Zhao Dong liked Yuan Wei very much. However, when it comes to cooperation, Zhao Dong seems to prefer Qinglong Real Estate Company. After talking to Zhao Peng, Zhao Chenglong told Zhao Peng not to say that he had disclosed business information. Zhao Peng naturally knows this. He finally told his third uncle to arrange another chance to meet his father.
Zhao Chenglong promised that he would try his best to arrange it, but he didn't say that it would work.
After hanging up the third uncle's phone, Zhao Peng felt that the situation was not good. However, the matter has not been final, and Zhao Peng thinks that Yuan Wei still has a chance.
What Zhao Peng didn't expect was that the next day, the third uncle told him that he could meet Zhao Dong at 7 p.m.
This time, the meeting place is not the restaurant, but Zhao Chengyi's presidential suite.
Walking into the magnificent, spacious and luxurious presidential suite, Zhao Peng said to himself, Dad really enjoys living in such a big house alone. When he arrived at the reception room, Zhao Chenglong wanted to withdraw for the two of them to have tea. Zhao Chengyi said, "Conglong, you can also sit down."
Zhao Chenglong sat very obediently beside Zhao Peng.
"What's the matter with me?" Zhao Chengyi asked.
Zhao Peng smiled and said, "You are my father. Can I come to see you if you have nothing to do?"
Zhao Chengyi picked up the teacup with a quiet expression and took a sip of tea. He said, "I've been busy looking for a partner recently, and I don't care about you."
Zhao Peng was very moved when he heard his father say so. Zhao Chenglong next to him also felt that the second brother had changed a lot, which was not like his style.
"Dad, I'm an adult. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself." After finishing the polite, Zhao Peng paused and asked tentatively, "Dad, how's the partner?"
"It's basically settled." Zhao Chengyi said calmly.
Zhao Peng felt that his father had probably guessed that he was here for Yuan Wei, so he deliberately mentioned the matter of finding a partner just now. He asked tentatively, "I don't know which company is so honored to be favored by Dad?"
Facing Zhao Peng's smiling face, Zhao Chengyi remained calm. He looked at Zhao Peng and said, "It's Qinglong Real Estate Company."
When Zhao Peng heard this, it was really Qinglong. He nodded and said, "I have also heard of Qinglong Real Estate Company. It seems to be very big."
"Hmm." Zhao Chengyi answered casually.
Zhao Peng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked tentatively, "Dad, how do you feel about the Yuan Wei I introduced to you?"
Zhao Chengyi pondered for a moment and said, "A person with good character and great motivation."
"I think so too." Zhao Peng said in a ssment.
Zhao Chengyi looked at Zhao Peng and continued, "But the company is a little small."
"He started from scratch." Zhao Peng replied casually.
Zhao Chengyi nodded slightly and said, "I can see that he is a doer."
Zhao Peng pondered for a moment and asked, "Dad, since you are so optimistic about him, why don't you give him a chance?"
Zhao Chengyi was not surprised by Zhao Peng's problem. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Our Zhao Group does not know much about the real estate market. I want to find a mature business partner."
Zhao Peng felt that his father's idea was understandable, but he was unwilling to let Yuan Wei be eliminated. He said slowly, "Dad, isn't Qinglong's requirements very high?"
"Now we need the cooperation of Qinglong, and it is natural that his conditions are high." Zhao Chengyi said calmly.
Zhao Peng said with a little pity, "In that case, will our profits be reduced?"
Zhao Chengyi took a look at Zhao Peng. He knew that Zhao Peng said that these were all foreshadowing, and he would definitely suggest that he cooperate with Yuan Wei in the end.
Seeing that his father did not answer his questions, Zhao Peng knew that his father was a little impatient with his twists and turns. He felt that it was time to change his strategy, so he said, "Dad, can I tell you what I think?"
"Say it." Before Zhao Chengyi came, the old man had told him to listen to Zhao Peng's advice.
Zhao Peng took a sip of water and said, "Dad, I know it is very reasonable and correct for you to choose Qinglong. But I think it would be more beneficial for our Zhao Group to choose Yuan Wei's magnificent real estate company.
The more Zhao Chenglong listens to it now, the more uncertain he is. When there was an old man sitting in the Zhao family courtyard, the second brother would not say anything even if he was dissatisfied. But here, the second brother is the old man. It is very dangerous for Zhao Peng to directly challenge the second brother's point of view.
However, Zhao Sanshao, one of the parties, did not expect this. He continued: "Dad, you told me that shopping malls are like battlefields, and the greater the risk, the greater the profit. If you choose Qinglong, the risk may be small, but the profit has also been compressed to a large part accordingly. If you choose Yuan Wei, the risk may be slightly greater, but the profit margin is much greater than that of Qinglong.
Zhao Peng said this, looked at his father, and waited for his father's reaction. Dad said slowly, "Our Zhao Group has just set foot in the real estate industry. Of course, safety is the first priority."
Zhao Peng nodded and said, "Dad, I agree with you very much. However, in my judgment, the development speed of the real estate market in the future is unprecedented. If we adopt a stable strategy, the preparation is done, but it is also a waste of good development time. At that time, it is likely to be overtaken by competitors, and at that time, it may become our desperate pursuit of competitors.
After Zhao Peng finished speaking, he secretly observed his father's reaction.
After listening to Zhao Peng's point of view, Zhao Chengyi's expression did not change much, and he was still very calm. After a while, he turned his eyes to Zhao Chenglong and said, "Conglong, do you think Dapeng's words are reasonable?"
As soon as Zhao Chenglong heard this, the second brother actually threw such a difficult problem to himself. He felt very embarrassed, but he hesitated for a moment and said, "I think Dapeng's point of view is a little aggressive, but it's not completely unreasonable."
After listening to his third brother's words, Zhao Chengyi smiled and said, "Is this your opinion?"
Zhao Chenglong said hurriedly, "Second brother, I have just entered the Zhao Group, and I know too little."
Zhao Chengyi was relatively acceptable for the third brother's explanation. He turned his eyes to Zhao Peng and asked, "You strongly recommend Yuan Wei. Don't you have selfishness?"
When Zhao Peng heard this, he said shyly, "Dad, to tell you the truth, I'm selfish."
"What kind of selfishness?" Zhao Chengyi asked.
"I appreciate Yuan Wei very much. I think he will become a very, very excellent businessman in the future." Zhao Peng replied with a smile.
"Why do you think he must be able to become an excellent businessman?" Zhao Chengyi continued to ask.
Zhao Peng can't understand his father's intentions now, but he knows that there is nothing to worry about now, so he said, "Yuan Wei is generous and careless. Be diligent, bold and careful. The most rare thing is that he has a big vision and a keen sense of business.
"You mean that my eyesight is not as big as Yuan Wei, and my business sense is not as sharp as Yuan Wei's?" Zhao Chengyi suddenly asked.
When Zhao Peng heard this, he smiled and said, "Dad, your eyes and business sense of smell are naturally not comparable to that of Yuan Wei."
"Well, is there any other reason besides these?" Zhao Chengyi snorted.
When Zhao Peng saw that his father asked so much, he had to say, "There is another more important reason. My Dajinpeng Seafood Pang used to be his restaurant. He helped me a lot when I opened a restaurant. Now that I can help him, I have to repay his support.
Zhao Chengyi looked at Zhao Peng's persistence, nodded and said, "Does he know that you are a descendant of the old Zhao family?"
Zhao Peng knew what his father meant and quickly explained, "Of course I don't know. How dare I tell him that I am a descendant of the old Zhao family?" Besides, I may not be able to believe what I am like now.
"What's wrong? Don't you look like the descendants of the old Zhao family now? Zhao Chengyi suddenly said seriously.
Zhao Peng smiled quickly and said, "No, no, Dad, I didn't mean that. I mean, I don't deserve to be a descendant of the old Zhao family. I'm afraid of losing face to the old Zhao family."
Zhao Chengyi glanced at Zhao Peng and said, "In this case, you ask Yuan Wei to see me tomorrow, and I'll talk to him."
Hearing this, Zhao Peng said excitedly, "Thank you, Dad."
Zhao Chengyi said casually, "I gave him a chance not because he was competitive, but because he helped you."
This sentence was so touching that Zhao Peng looked at his father with very eager eyes. Suddenly, the image of his father in his heart suddenly increased.
