Chapter 84

Since he had entered the political arena, Su Mu had long been prepared to adapt to the political machinations. He clearly understood He Sheng's concerns and knew that this investment might be a matter of life and death for Hongfeng Aquatic Products. Therefore, the first olive branch he extended was indeed astonishing.

And indeed, as Su Mu had guessed, He Sheng was shocked. With his level of sophistication, he could not fail to understand what the name Wu Qingyuan represented. With this name, even if his investment failed, he would not care, because he would still have the opportunity to rise again.

"Brother He, my teacher is Professor Wu Qingyuan. He agreed to help me last night and will form a research team for me in the shortest time possible. With such a team, do you think the technology needed for the Black Mountain Town Science and Technology Ecological Park will be a problem?" Su Mu smiled.

Of course, it wouldn't be a problem!

With Wu Qingyuan's golden name, the quality of the research team would not be in doubt. If you had said your teacher was Wu Qingyuan and that the old man clearly favored you so much, would I have hesitated?

Who doesn't know the status of Old Wu in the domestic economics field? He is a towering figure. With his involvement, what do I have to worry about?

"Brother Su, you're not being fair. With such a connection to Old Wu, why didn't you say it earlier? No, I must drink three cups of penalty wine!" He Sheng said with a hearty laugh.

"Brother He, I really didn't intend to hide it; you just didn't give me the chance. Fine, I'll drink the penalty wine. What about the plan between us, what do you think?" Su Mu asked.

"I'm in!" He Sheng said without hesitation, making the decision on the spot. "Brother Su, I'll take on this plan, and I'll take over the entire ecological science park. Just tell me how much capital is needed, and I'll provide it, until the ecological science park is built."

With Wu Qingyuan's backing and the help of Ye Xi, the daughter of the provincial party organization minister, He Sheng decisively made no further hesitation. He Sheng had risen from obscurity to his current position thanks to his sharp economic mind and decisive business acumen.

The plan for Black Mountain Town was very well done. If it could be realized, He Sheng's investment would be recouped in just a few years. Most notably, the娃娃鱼 (Chinese sturgeon) produced by the science park, if managed well, could be distributed nationwide without any problem.

By then, Hongfeng Aquatic Products would no longer be just the top aquatic company in Shengjing but a major player in the national business community.

"Great! Brother He, here's to you!" Su Mu's heart, which had been hanging, finally relaxed. Only now, hearing He Sheng's agreement, did he realize that his trip to Shengjing City was not in vain.

Given Hongfeng Aquatic Products' resources, it might be difficult to establish the science and technology ecological park, but Su Mu believed that with He Sheng's extensive network of contacts accumulated over the years, solving this problem would be easy.

He Sheng was indeed a businessman with vision, making such a significant decision based solely on the fact that Wu Qingyuan was Su Mu's teacher, which was a major decision.

And it turned out that He Sheng was right. After he went to Black Mountain Town for an on-site inspection and saw the document issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, he truly understood the astonishing influence behind this seemingly unknown town mayor.

Knock, knock!

Just as the two were getting into the spirit of their drinks, a rhythmic knocking came from outside the door, and two figures entered. He Sheng looked over, and his displeasure quickly vanished as he sprang to his feet. He couldn't help it, for the person who appeared was someone whose influence could make all of Shengjing tremble.

The master of the Dihao Club, Du Pingshang's father, Du Zhan, the most low-key yet most brilliant businessman in Shengjing!

"President Du!" He Sheng hurriedly said.

No one knew how many companies Du Zhan controlled or how much money he had. But in Shengjing, the Giant Group was known to everyone. As the top taxpayer in Jiangnan Province, the Giant Group had a presence throughout Shengjing City. Compared to Du Zhan, He Sheng was a mere speck.

Knowing Du Zhan's mysterious nature, He Sheng was shocked, wondering why he had appeared. Could it be...

"President He!" Du Zhan smiled and greeted him, then looked at Su Mu, who had calmly stood up. "What? Back in Shengjing and at Dihao, and you didn't even think to say hello to Uncle Du? If it weren't for Du Pingshang, I wouldn't have known you were back."

"Uncle Du, I didn't want to bother you, thinking I would visit your home tonight. I didn't expect you to come!" Su Mu smiled, remaining calm unlike He Sheng's nervousness.

"You little rascal!"

Du Zhan smiled and took the wine bottle from Du Pingshang. The wine was Maotai, a 30-year vintage, with a rich flavor. Du Zhan personally filled a glass.

"Su Mu, President He, come, have a drink with me."

"Sure!"

He Sheng drank with trepidation, thinking of adding more wine, but Du Zhan waved him off. "Su Mu, I came because I saw your development plan for Black Mountain Town yesterday. I originally intended to take over your ecological science park, but it seems President He has already done so. In that case, I'll take the tourism area. What do you say? Will you give Uncle Du this face?"

"Uncle Du, I would be more than happy!" Su Mu laughed.

"Good, then. Since that's the case, you don't need to worry about the tourism area. I'll send someone to inspect it later. Leave the bottle of wine here; I have some business to attend to." Du Zhan said.

"Uncle Du, if you have business, go ahead." Su Mu quickly said.

"Alright!"

Du Zhan and He Sheng nodded slightly and turned to leave the peony private room, but Du Pingshang stayed behind, sitting down and pouring himself a glass of wine, grinning. "Master, don't look at me. You know I'm a poor guy. I just showed your plan to my father, and he decided to invest. Honestly, I didn't help much."

"Sure, I believe you!"

Su Mu glared at Du Pingshang but didn't do anything. He knew the strength of the Giant Group. To put it bluntly, if Du Zhan wanted to, the Giant Group could take over the entire Black Mountain Town project. Now, by taking on the most challenging part of the tourism area, Du Zhan was doing Su Mu a great favor.

Of course, Su Mu also knew that Du Zhan's investment would not be in vain. The resources of Black Mountain Town were there, and once the ecological science park and the bamboo shoot tea plantation were established, Black Mountain Town would become a top tourist destination in Jiangnan Province.

"You little rascal, I knew you were just here for the drinks. Come on!" Su Mu laughed.

"Brother He, come, let's drink!"

"Sure, let's drink!"

He Sheng was truly stunned. He never imagined that Su Mu and Du Zhan would have such a close relationship. The sense of superiority he had felt earlier vanished completely. If he could, he would not hesitate to sign the agreement with Su Mu the moment he entered the peony private room.

If the Giant Group was willing to invest, Hongfeng Aquatic Products would be foolish to refuse. Such a good opportunity, if other companies knew about it, they would go crazy trying to collaborate with Su Mu.

He Sheng knew which to choose between helping in a crisis and adding to a good situation.

Most importantly, if he could use this opportunity to enter Du Zhan's circle, He Sheng would be bound to succeed. In China, the importance of circles cannot be ignored. Different circles have different functions, and through them, many unexpected things can be accomplished.

With this in mind, He Sheng made up his mind to build the ecological science park at all costs. If possible, he would try to get some close friends to invest in Black Mountain Town.

Ding, ling, ling!

Just as the three were eating and drinking, Su Mu's phone rang quietly. Looking at the number, his expression was a bit strange. He answered and smiled, calling out, "Uncle Xu!"
