Chapter 83

Everyone familiar with the Dihao Club knows that this hotel has a clear hierarchy. Each different private room represents the strength of one's network. Even someone with the status of Hesheng, every time he comes to Dihao, getting a medium-sized private room is already considered good.

And the private room in front of him, named Peony, is one of the nine most luxurious private rooms in the Dihao Club. Guests who can enter the Peony room are either rich or noble.

Hesheng had never thought he would be able to enter the Peony room, but this small town mayor could set the venue for the banquet in the Peony room. If there were no ulterior motives, who would believe it?

Perhaps Ye Xi helped behind the scenes? Or Dihao is considering Ye Anbang's status? This thought flashed through Hesheng's mind but was immediately dismissed. He knew Ye Anbang's character and was very clear that Ye Xi would never use his father's name for such a matter.

What's going on?

A very simple private room instantly made Hesheng's thoughts turn rapidly. As the main character, Su Mu seemed completely unaware of how unique the Peony room was, and he maintained a smile throughout.

"Mr. He, the place is humble, please bear with me," Su Mu said.

"Not at all, not at all. If the Peony room in Dihao is considered humble, then in the entire Shengjing, there would be no place that could be called luxurious," Hesheng said with a smile.

"Come, Mr. He, please sit down!"

There was no one else in the entire Peony room, just Su Mu and Hesheng. The subordinates who came with Hesheng, upon catching his eye, retreated outside on their own.

"Mr. He, please have some tea," Su Mu said with a smile.

"Mr. Su, there's no need for such formality between us. Besides, if we really talk about it, we are actually schoolmates. I also graduated from Jiang University, just a few years earlier than you. Why don't you just call me Brother He?" Hesheng said with a smile.

"How can I do that? You are clearly older than me. How about I call you Brother He? What do you think?" Su Mu did not refuse.

"Alright, Brother He it is. Then I'll just call you Brother Su," Hesheng said with a hearty laugh.

"Alright, Brother He, you can call me whatever you like."

The two casually chatted about Jiang University, especially about the experienced professors and experts at Jiang University, quickly bridging the gap. As Hesheng said, he was a true product of Jiang University and knew a lot about the professors there.

"Brother He, come, try this Chinese sturgeon," Su Mu said with a smile, turning the fish to Hesheng. Hesheng picked up his chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of fish, and savored it, closing his eyes in enjoyment.

"Smooth and not greasy, delicious and sweet, this Chinese sturgeon is the best of its kind. After the Dihao Club's cooking, it's simply exquisite. And this sturgeon is different from the ones I've had before; it's clearly wild. It seems Dihao has really gone to great lengths for you, Brother Su," Hesheng said with a smile.

"Brother He, you make it sound like it's for me. This is specially prepared to entertain you. But I really didn't expect that you, Brother He, could tell it's wild. The reputation of the top aquatic product merchant in Shengjing is indeed well-deserved," Su Mu said with genuine admiration.

"That's just a small skill, not worth mentioning," Hesheng said casually.

"Brother He, I have a question. Do you think there's a market for Chinese sturgeon?" Su Mu changed the subject.

"Of course!"

At this, Hesheng's interest immediately increased. "I can't speak for others, but among the aquatic products I handle, the Chinese sturgeon has the best market. It's always in short supply, and it's also the hardest to find. I always have to think of ways to catch a few. How about it, Brother Su, if you have any leads, introduce them to me."

"Brother He, you're right. I came to you this time specifically for the Chinese sturgeon business!" Su Mu said with a smile, taking out a prepared business plan and handing it to Hesheng, then began to explain. From the geographical advantages of Heishan Town to the large-scale farming of Chinese sturgeon, he explained in great detail.

"Brother He, I won't hide it from you. I invited you here to ask for your investment in the Chinese sturgeon farming in Heishan Town. As long as you invest, I guarantee you won't lose. We can discuss the specifics later. What do you think? Are you interested in considering it?"

More than just interested?

As an economics major, Hesheng could see at a glance that the business plan was very well-prepared, with each step meticulously planned and highly feasible. Especially the market for Chinese sturgeon, which is not only a blank market in Jiangnan Province but also nationwide.

If he could seize this opportunity, Hesheng believed his business would definitely take a big step forward. The thought of monopolizing the Chinese sturgeon market made him feel a surge of excitement.

However, after the excitement, Hesheng quickly calmed down. This wasn't a few thousand yuan game. To establish the ecological science park in Heishan Town, it would require tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Although Hesheng was tempted, he couldn't afford to be impulsive.

No one's money comes from the sky, and who can guarantee that a perfect business plan will be flawless when implemented?

With these thoughts, Hesheng smiled, closed the business plan, and placed it in front of him, tapping his fingers rhythmically while lighting a cigarette.

"Brother Su, let's be frank. Your business plan is very well-prepared, but you know, a business plan is just a plan. There are countless plans in the world that can't be implemented. Yes, whether it's the Chinese sturgeon or the ecological science park based on it, it has a great appeal to me.

But this is just an attraction. To truly turn this plan into reality, there are many aspects involved. For example, the most important part is technology. Without a foundation, talking about anything else is meaningless.

There are also issues like the transportation in Heishan Town, the resource allocation in Heishan Town, the support from Xingtang County for this business plan, and so on. Any of these could make my investment a waste. I am a businessman, and in business, I won't hesitate if it can make money.

However, if there's no guarantee, Brother Su, I'm afraid I can't help. I have to be responsible for the many employees of Hongfeng Aquatic Products, don't you think?" Hesheng was completely honest, laying everything out on the table.

"Ha ha!"

Su Mu smiled, showing no sign of anger. If Hesheng had given any other reason, he might have dismissed it. But these were undeniable realities, and as long as they could be resolved, Hesheng would truly invest. This was the kind of foresight a businessman should have, and Su Mu now felt a certain liking for Hesheng.

No one's money comes from the sky, and Su Mu firmly believed this. He knew that without showing some cards, he couldn't convince Hesheng.

"Brother He, the issues you mentioned are not really issues. I came to Shengjing for two things. The first is to find investors. As long as I can find investors, the ecological science park in Heishan Town can be launched. The second is the technical issue you mentioned."

Su Mu said confidently, "To be honest, before yesterday, I was still thinking about who to ask for help, to find a few experts from Jiang University, Shengjing University, or the Agricultural Academy. Fortunately, yesterday, right here at the Dihao Club, my teacher took on this task for me."

"Your teacher? Who is it?" Hesheng asked with a smile, not really thinking that Su Mu's teacher would be an expert. After all, a recent graduate from a bachelor's program, no matter how well-connected, could hardly be that influential at Jiang University.

However, when Hesheng heard the name Su Mu mentioned, the cigarette he was about to put in his mouth stopped, and he only snapped back to reality when the ash fell and the cigarette burned his fingers.

Hesheng threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and asked urgently, "Brother Su, who did you say your teacher is?"
