Chapter 156 Want to take the lead

Updated: 2012-09-07

Zhou Yu heard Chen Huai personally say that he wanted to reduce the purchase of Pengyue's scrap steel furnace materials. At that time, Chen Huai's intention was not guessed. At this time, it was undoubtedly certain that Chen Huai was going to completely snipe Pengyue's wharf project.

Pengyue no longer had the initiative at this time. Although Meixi Iron and Steel Plant's procurement of Pengyue's furnace materials has dropped to less than three million since March, even so, Pengyue, who was attacked on both sides, still dared not lose the business of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant.

Although Zhou Yu had some good feelings for Chen Huai and had said that he did not care about the Zhou family's business, she was still a little angry when Chen Huai made such a cruel decisive attack on the Zhou family.

Thinking of what Chen Huai said to her two months ago, there seemed to be room for maneuver. However, Zhou Yu couldn't tell which sentence Chen Huai was true and which sentence was false at this time. She wanted to call Chen Huai and ask what was going on, but she found that she didn't have the position of making the call. After hesitating for a while, she put down the phone, but suddenly the phone ringing rang again, which scared her.

Picking up the phone, the second uncle Wu Haifeng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm on the stadium. Zhibai just told me about the matter, you can come here too..."

Zhou Yu put down the phone and sent it for a while, he was stunned, knowing that this matter is extraordinary.

Donghua’s electric furnace steel projects that require scrap steel as furnace materials are mainly concentrated in two cities, the Municipal Steel Plant and Meixi Steel Plant.

Pengyue's rapid development in recent years has been closely linked to the business of the Municipal Steel Plant and Meixi Steel Plant. Once Meixi Steel Plant and the Municipal Steel Plant both interrupt their business cooperation with Pengyue, it means that Pengyue's main business will be completely abandoned.

It would be great if it was so simple. Zhou Yu knew that her second uncle was even more afraid that there was another conspiracy against the Zhou family behind this matter.

Zhou Yu did not ask the driver to follow her. She took a car from the driver's shift and drove directly to the Pengyue Golf driving range on the South Outer Ring Road.

Getting off the parking lot, Zhou Yu looked up at the ball nets erected high around the stadium, and couldn't help but sigh. She knew that her younger brother was just a humble person on the surface.

Such an important customer of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is likely to catch up with the electric furnace steel scale of the listed steel mill this year, and it goes without saying that it is important to Pengyue. No matter how much Chen Huai avoids meeting, if it were someone else, he would definitely create opportunities to meet him. Only by meeting him can he know what kind of little Jiujiu is playing in Chen Huai's heart.

However, my younger brother was very arrogant and could not stand someone more arrogant than him. He said he would meet him all the time. Two months after the New Year, Zhibai had not been able to meet Chen Huai yet, and Zhou Yu was quite speechless.

Besides, Zhou Yu didn't know how to criticize his younger brother when talking about this golf driving range.

Although golf is known as the sport of the powerful, how many powerful people can really appreciate golf and consume golf? After all, Zhibai still built this golf practice range for his personal interests, but it has squeezed out a large amount of valuable funds from Pengyue.

Zhou Yu pushed the door and walked into his brother's office at the stadium. When he saw her father and his second uncle standing in the floor-to-ceiling window talking, he was shocked: "Dad, why are you here? When did you go back to Donghua?"

"I just got off the plane and couldn't take a break," Zhou Yanbin turned around and said, "I think it's too early for me to retire. I was tired of living alone in Kunming, so I decided to go back to Donghua to see you brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, when I came back, this happened to Pengyue. You really made people feel uneasy..."

"Pengyue is Zhibai in charge, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Yu glanced at his dejected brother, thinking that he had probably scolded him. She threw the car keys on the table, stood aside with her cousin Wu Xia, and asked, "Why did you call you too?"

"We Zhou family, you are the ones who have the most contact with Chen Huai," Wu Haifeng turned around and said, "Let's tell me, what is Chen Huai's intention this time?"

"I have no contact with Chen Huai," Zhou Yu retorted guiltily, "I can't figure out what he thinks."

Wu Haifeng didn't ask anything, and said to his elder brother Zhou Yanbin: "Gaotianhe takes the interests of the city steel mill to exchange for the political support of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister Dai Lesheng. Provincial Party Committee Secretary Tao Guoquan will retreat. When Tan Qiping faces reality, he may take a step back from Gao Tianhe and compromise secretly. The situation is not good for us..."

Zhou Yu knew her second uncle and what her father was worried about:

While the local political territory is redivided, local economic interests are often re-divided.

Gao Tianhe should not have the ambition to drive Tan Qiping out of Donghua, but more importantly, he wanted to protect the interests in the bowl and not let others divide them. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, Tan Qiping could not have a name but was in fact. If he secretly compromised with Gao Tianhe, he might be snatching food from Wu Haifeng and Zhou's bowl...

If Chen Huai's series of actions were behind the secret compromise between Tan Qiping and Gao Tianhe, the situation that the Zhou family would face would be even more serious.

"Chen Huai was alienated from Tan Qiping before the New Year. Even if Chen Huai was willing to compete for favor, he was willing to become Tan Qiping's pawn to attack our Zhou family. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he shouldn't have gone to his second uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings..." Zhou Zhibai said.

"You have the shame to talk about this," Zhou Yanbin intercepted his son's words and said with a grudge. "Everyone knows that he will come to your second uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. It's been two months since then. Have you ever seen this Chen Huai?" He said to his daughter Zhou Yu again, "You will find an opportunity to go to Meixi Town in the past two days. I want to see this Chen Huai and see who he is..."

"What kind of person is Chen Huai? After all, it's not a little bug under Tan Qiping's feet. If you go to see him in person, wouldn't you be so arrogant?" Zhou Zhibai couldn't lose his face and opposed his father going to see Chen Huai in person.

"Your face is important. I can't compare with you," Zhou Yanbin said angrily. "When I started a team business, I went to the mountains to save money, so I spent two cents to squeeze into the bed with thirty or forty people. The sweat was smelly and my feet were so stinky that I couldn't breathe. I didn't feel embarrassed. I made more than 10 or 20 yuan a day when I made a broken tricycle, and I rode a broken tricycle and collected broken copper and iron from house to house. I could be happy for a long time if I could pick up toothpaste on the road, and I didn't feel embarrassed. Now I'm embarrassed to meet a big customer who can decide Pengyue's life and death? If I don't come forward, would you let your second uncle come forward?"

"It's not that serious, right?" Zhou Yu was startled.

"Isn't your brother too proud?" Zhou Yanbin said, "I invested 30 million in this broken stadium, but I didn't take back a penny, and I have to pay millions in every year. Before the dock project was approved, I couldn't wait to invest 20 million in the 300 acres of land. Now Pengyue still has nearly 30 million in funds to turn over, but the loans owed to the bank are 40 million. Are you serious or not..."

Pengyue’s wharf project was attacked, and the development of the project’s 300 acres of land had to be stopped. In addition to the golf driving range, the profits of several other projects of Pengyue were not very ideal. The most core business was the furnace material trade that continued to provide Pengyue with high profits over the years.

Even if Gao Tianhe, Tan Qiping would not maliciously instruct the bank to recover the loan to Pengyue in advance. The main business did not improve, and Pengyue would still have difficulty in strides.

In addition to swallowing Pengyue's large amount of funds in the golf ball practice field, Zhou Zhibai also gritted his teeth and took out a loan to the dock project, which is expected that the furnace material business will increase significantly this year.

As long as the trade volume this year reaches 200 million as scheduled, a loan of 40 million will be easily digested.

It’s just that the feng shui changes. Who would have thought that the Municipal Steel Plant and Meixi Steel Plant would compress their business to Pengyue at the same time?

Zhou Yu glanced at his blown brother, but didn't know what to say.

Pengyue is the foundation laid by her father Zhou Yanbin. When she was in a social enterprise in her early years, her father used a tricycle to purchase the old and started a business. When her second uncle Wu Haifeng was demobilized and served as deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, her father officially joined the Tangzha District Material Station to run a business and create Pengyue.

By the mid-1980s, Pengyue purchased a rolling mill and sold scrap steel to the municipal steel mill for furnace materials. When her second uncle was the secretary of the municipal party committee, her family had accumulated millions of dollars and became the famous "dashed king" in Donghua before the 1990s.

Her younger brother Zhou Zhibai was one of the first people to study abroad in China. After returning to China, he did put Pengyue’s furnace material business on the right track, opening up the channels for introducing furnace material from overseas, so that Pengyue’s business volume has reached several levels in four years.

Her father thought his younger brother Zhou Zhibai could take over, but because of his difficult life in his early years, he became sick, so he handed over the company to his younger brother and went to Nanguang to recuperate.

Although my younger brother has a rich professional background, he does not understand enough about the national conditions. In the early days, due to the protection of his second uncle Wu Haifeng, everyone in Donghua City had to give him some face. Even if he was not familiar with the world, it would not affect his professional level, which caused the illusion that he was good at running a business.

However, after her second uncle retreated to the second line, when those open and hidden arrows were shot, her younger brother seemed to be inexperienced. The most important thing was that Zhou Zhibai had no expectation of the current situation, and even wishfully believed that Pengyue's furnace material business would not have competitors in Donghua, and he was only determined to radically accelerate the company's development speed. However, he did not know that the Municipal Steel Plant and Meixi Steel Plant would bypass Pengyue at the same time and contact material companies outside Donghua.

Zhou Yu thought about it and felt that her father was indeed a bit inappropriate, so he said to her father: "I'd better go to see Shen Huai with Zhibai. I'll call him now, and I don't think Shen Huai won't see us at all..."

Zhou Yanbin looked at his younger brother Wu Haifeng, Wu Haifeng nodded and said, "It is better to let Zhou Yu and Zhibai contact Shen Huai..."

Zhou Yu didn't know what his younger brother would react when he saw Shen Huai, and he knew that he couldn't escape. He picked up his cell phone and called Shen Huai directly: "Secretary Shen, I am Zhou Yu. Are you free tonight? What, are you at Emperor International?" Zhou Yu glanced at his younger brother. Although he didn't want to go to such a messy place in his heart, this social event could not be something she could escape at this time. "Okay, I'll go there right away and I want to introduce someone to you..."
