"The train station project?" Comrade Sun thought they were referring to the project they were currently undertaking and asked with a chuckle.
Zhang Ya shook his head, "Comrade Liunian is only investing for dividends and hasn't participated. We're talking about future projects."
"Oh, but we'll be busy with this major project for the next few years. You won't have time to consider other projects."
Comrade Sun replied with a smile, their current focus was on the new train station. The higher-ups had set a deadline, wanting them to complete the construction of the train station within three years. The time was tight, so they had to go all out, right? Where would they have time to think about other projects?
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Zhang Ya's funds were not enough for him to start the next project now.
Zhang Ya understood his gaze and said with a smile, "I know that. The train station project with Comrade Sun has emptied my coffers, so my cooperation with Comrade Zhang Liunian is unlikely to be realized in the short term."
He didn't have the good luck of Comrade Zhang Liunian, who, just because of a piece of land, had received a huge sum of ninety million yuan.
He had worked hard to earn money over the years, but even at best, he had only caught up to half of the deposit slip that Comrade Zhang Liunian had. It was absolutely impossible to undertake new projects in the short term.
Even if Zhang Liunian encountered a good project and invited him to cooperate and invest, he would have no opportunity.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ya couldn't help but envy Zhang Liunian's good luck.
He spent a few hundred thousand yuan to buy a piece of land and earned ninety million yuan in less than a year. Such luck was truly unmatched.
Wait, luck? Was it really luck?
Zhang Ya looked at Zhang Liunian's consistently calm smile and couldn't believe that he was someone who made money through luck.
More importantly, he remembered that Zhang Liunian himself had come to Pengcheng to develop. Putting aside his ninety million yuan, he himself must have had the ability to invest and undertake projects in Pengcheng, otherwise, he wouldn't be here.
"It doesn't matter, we can cooperate and invest together when there's an opportunity," Zhang Liunian said, placing his hands clasped on the table, without showing too much emotion.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Ya felt even more that this person was too seasoned. Although he looked only in his early twenties, he was more capable than Zhang Ya, an old hand. He wondered what he had experienced to become like this.
However, compared to his experiences, he was more curious about how he had chosen that piece of land.
Thinking of this, when the dinner was over and everyone bid farewell one by one, he and Zhang Liunian were the last to leave. Zhang Ya couldn't help but ask privately, "May I ask why you chose that mountain in Fude Village?"
Zhang Liunian was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a few seconds, he said with a calm expression, "If I say it was luck, would you believe me?"
"..." Zhang Ya didn't believe in luck, which was why he asked. However, Zhang Liunian's answer brought him back to square one.
At this moment, he was certain that Zhang Liunian was not as simple as they thought. But as long as his values were similar to his own, he would not pry into any secrets that the other party could not reveal.
After all, everyone has secrets, and this is understandable.
Besides, his question just now was somewhat intrusive. Now that he knew Zhang Liunian didn't want to answer, he wouldn't be a nuisance by prying.
But there was one thing he still had to tell Zhang Liunian, "Over the next week, there will be several more dinner parties. They are all for discussing project matters with influential people.
It doesn't matter whether you come or not, but I still want to ask if you want to join.
I will handle the project discussions, and you can just follow me to get acquainted. Do you want to come along?"
These words were all out of goodwill. Since Zhang Liunian was developing in Pengcheng, wouldn't it be much easier to get things done if he could connect with the top people in Pengcheng?
Anyone with a clear head would not refuse.
In fact, Zhang Liunian was as excited as Zhang Ya had imagined upon hearing about such a good opportunity. He quickly nodded his head happily, "Yes, wouldn't it be a shame to miss such an opportunity?
I know Comrade Zhang Ya is bringing me along out of good intentions, and I'll remember this kindness. From now on, if you ever need my help, just say the word.
And Comrade Sun as well. You are both my benefactors. I will definitely repay you when the opportunity arises in the future."
By helping him like this, they were hoping to draw him into their faction.
Through the interactions during this period, Zhang Liunian knew that they were all good people, and there was nothing wrong with being allied with them. Naturally, he chose to align himself with them.
"With your words, our efforts won't be in vain. When I know the exact time, I'll have someone notify you. Please provide your home address."
Zhang Ya looked at Zhang Liunian's solemn clasped hands as he wanted to repay their kindness, knowing in his heart that they had not misjudged him; he was someone who knew how to repay kindness.
No matter how high Zhang Liunian flew in the future, their kindness would always remain in Zhang Liunian's heart.
"My home..."
After providing his address, Zhang Liunian personally saw Zhang Ya off.
When the other person disappeared, Zhang Liunian was about to go home with his men, but before he could take a few steps, his path was blocked by a group of people.
Zhang Liunian thought they were looking for trouble again and prepared to fight. However, the leader of the group suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, saying excitedly, "You are that Comrade Zhang Liunian from Nancheng, right? You are indeed as handsome as you are in the newspaper."
"..." These people weren't here to fight, but to chat with him? It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and Zhang Liunian was momentarily unsure how to respond, only staring at the other person with a blank expression.
Fortunately, the leader was very excited at this moment and didn't need Zhang Liunian to respond, as he could find topics and chatter endlessly on his own.
"Look at this bearing, it's simply synonymous with wealth. Ninety million yuan, and you spent it without even batting an eye. We can't keep up with your vision, but we also want to follow your footsteps and get a piece of the pie. I wonder if Comrade Zhang Liunian has any good ideas or projects that we can also complete an investment cooperation with.
We don't have tens of millions, but we have over a hundred thousand. If we can't participate in big projects, we hope Comrade Zhang Liunian can bring us along for small ones..."
The man spoke a lot in one breath, but Zhang Liunian only picked up the key points: he had over a hundred thousand yuan and wanted to invest in small projects with him.
Not to mention that he didn't have any small projects in hand now, even if he did, facing this person who had suddenly appeared, he wouldn't dare to agree rashly.
After all, cooperation depends on fate, not just on jumping out.
"Comrade Zhang Liunian, give us an answer, can you help us make money together?" The leader became anxious when Zhang Liunian didn't answer for a long time.
Zhang Liunian was speechless. Looking at this unfamiliar old man, he sighed that indeed, as long as one had a thick skin, they wouldn't fear not making money. Then, he managed to blurt out, "Who are you?"
"..."
