Chapter 739 - 353: Zhou Di’s Friendly Gesture—A Primary Project Worth Over 9 Million
After more than half an hour of field testing.
President Zhou finally realized just how precious what Jiang Tao had given him was!
This fierce, tiger-like feeling was something he hadn’t experienced in over ten years!
He transferred 10,000 yuan to his little secretary to send her off to buy clothes.
President Zhou found Jiang Tao’s number and dialed.
Beep, beep, beep—
The phone rang for about ten seconds before it was picked up, and Jiang Tao’s voice came through on the other end.
"President Jiang, I got what you had your driver send over, the effect is just amazing!"
"This stuff can’t be cheap, right?"
"You can’t even buy it with money?"
"President Jiang, you’re right, with such a miraculous effect it definitely isn’t easy to produce, short supply is totally normal."
"Oh man, then I really have to thank you, President Jiang! How much is this medicine? I’ll transfer the money to you."
"President Jiang, you really are..."
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk money. I, Zhou Di, recognize you as my brother now. If you ever need anything, just give me a call."
"You free tonight? Let’s grab a meal and have a few drinks."
"You already made plans with President Bai? Alright then, another day, we’ll get together when there’s a chance."
"Okay, let’s leave it at that, go handle your business."
After a few brief words with Jiang Tao on the phone, President Zhou hung up, thoroughly satisfied.
Having experienced the effect of the ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’, President Zhou naturally wanted to get more.
The little jade bottle Jiang Tao gave him only had two pills.
He had just taken one, and after a round of "field combat" with his secretary, he’d verified its magical power.
Tonight, when he went home, he wanted to try it out with his wife as well.
That way, the two pills Jiang Tao gave him would be used up.
Originally, he planned to call Jiang Tao and ask about purchase channels, willing to pay whatever it cost.
President Zhou was not short on money.
But Jiang Tao said those pills were a special supply made exclusively for those billionaire tycoons in Beijing, not available on the open market at all.
They were even more in demand than Pianzaihuang; even if you had money, you still couldn’t buy them.
What Jiang Tao said only further confirmed the rare attribute of the ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’.
In some ways, it also boosted its value.
Just now on the phone, Jiang Tao said he’d send him another 10 pills, and for free, not taking a single cent.
This level of generosity from Jiang Tao made President Zhou like him even more, and he started to genuinely see him as a friend.
"Such a big favor, even if he says he doesn’t want money, I can’t just not show anything at all."
President Zhou thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and called one of the vice presidents in charge of projects at the company, asking him to come by the office.
Less than a minute after he hung up, a man in his fifties, with a paunch and a bit of a bald spot, pushed the door open and walked in.
"President Zhou, you wanted to see me?"
Although Liang Wenliang was more than ten years older than President Zhou, he was always absolutely respectful in front of him.
"President Liang, find a few projects worth around ten or twenty million for Minghai Building Materials, let them take them on."
"When you’re dealing with the people over at Minghai Building Materials, just tell them that President Jiang and I are good buddies."
"This time we’re giving them these projects purely as a favor to President Jiang, that’s the only reason they’re getting this work."
President Zhou looked at Liang Wenliang and patiently spelled it out.
The reason he was doing this was, of course, to give Jiang Tao a big favor, and to make sure both Jiang Tao and He Minghai knew about it.
After taking such valuable pills from Jiang Tao, there was no way he could show nothing at all. He, Zhou Di, wasn’t that kind of person.
On top of that, this move was also to strengthen his relationship with Jiang Tao, in the hope of getting more ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’ from him in the future.
As the saying goes, once you’ve tasted the marrow, you want more.
After experiencing that long-lost, vigorous, dragon-like feeling the ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’ brought him,
President Zhou not only regained his manly prowess, but also recovered his confidence as a man.
He wasn’t stupid.
In the past, he had always been fully aware of how fake Secretary Li’s "cooperation" was.
Today, though, he really went at it head-on and took Secretary Li down fair and square.
Normally, at most he’d give Secretary Li three to five thousand so she could buy some clothes or a bag.
Today he directly gave Secretary Li 20,000, which was enough to show just how good a mood he was in.
"Alright, President Zhou, there just happens to be a bit of work left over in Phase 3, which fits your request."
Liang Wenliang nodded his agreement, also a bit surprised that He Minghai was actually able to climb up to a connection with his own President Zhou.
As the actual person in charge of all the projects at Longcheng Real Estate, Liang Wenliang did know who He Minghai was.
In his view, he was just a small-time subcontractor from Ping County with pretty average strength.
The work He Minghai got from Longcheng Real Estate mostly came after it had already been passed down through several hands.
To put it bluntly, the projects He Minghai took were all the leftovers.
Others ate the meat and left him some bones.
This time President Zhou was actually asking him to directly toss a project to the guy, which was basically throwing him a big fat piece of meat!
Whether he subcontracted it out again or did it himself, the profit would be at least double what he used to make picking up other people’s leftovers!
This time, you could say that He Minghai had skyrocketed overnight!
President Zhou added another instruction:
"Also, Old Liang, President Jiang is my good brother, and he’s on good terms with the boss of this Minghai Building Materials. You’d better rein it in a bit."
"Ahem, don’t worry, President Zhou, I know what to do."
Liang Wenliang coughed awkwardly twice, nodded in agreement, and became even more curious about this President Jiang his own President Zhou kept mentioning.
Just how close do they have to be?
...
At the same time.
The first family dinner between Jiang Tao and He Jing’s family also wrapped up in a warm, lively atmosphere.
At this first meeting, He Jing’s parents naturally had an extremely good impression of Jiang Tao.
