Chapter 430: Doing what I did in my previous life
Old Lu pursed his lips, sighed and said, "If they had called back, I wouldn't have realized I was deceived until now. It was because no one called back that I thought things were going smoothly..."
Now, Lao Lu is not only worried about his own future, he is more worried about the safety of the driver and the escort.
Zhou Yong's silence made Lao Lu panic: "Brother Zhou, what should I do?"
what to do?
Zhou Yong thought for a while: "If you report the case, Brother Lu's future will be ruined and he will face jail. What you need to do now is to figure out how to get the money back and then send someone to find the transport team's vehicle..."
Old Lu's head was buzzing and he felt like dying.
"Brother Zhou, that's more than 600,000 yuan. Even if I were to break my bones, I can't raise that much money by myself..."
The money issue is easy to deal with, Zhou Yong can help him, but if the twenty cars cannot be found, it will not be a matter of more than 600,000 yuan.
As for the safety of the driver and the escort, Zhou Yong was not too worried. The scammers wanted money and would not easily get involved in murder cases.
Zhou Yong suspected that the driver and the escort might be trapped there, and they would be rescued as long as someone found them.
After hearing what Zhou Yong said, Old Lu stood up and knelt down in front of Zhou Yong.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
Zhou Yong stood up and helped Lao Lu up, but he refused to get up.
Old Lu, who was kneeling on the ground, choked up a bit: "Zhou Yong, it is a great blessing in my life that I can meet you..."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and pulled Old Lu up from the ground.
"Brother Lu, I can help you with the money issue, but you need to take care of the car issue yourself..."
Even if they are friends, Zhou Yong has done the most he can do by doing this. He can't give both money and effort.
Besides, Zhou Yong didn't want Lao Lu to know about his relationship with Chen Pingliang, Guo Xiangqian and others.
Old Lu opened his mouth, but Zhou Yong said: "Brother Lu, you need to calm yourself down and think carefully about whether they said anything suspicious during your conversation..."
Since the landline number is fake, the route they took is definitely not real. If we want to find the transport team's vehicle, we need to analyze layer by layer what He Kai and Tang Shijun had said, and perhaps we can find some clues.
Old Lu raised his hand and tapped his head: "Let me think about it..."
They had said so much to each other that Old Lu couldn't tell which one was suspicious.
Zhou Yong looked at the time and saw that it was past eight o'clock. His eyes couldn't help but fall on Old Lu who was talking to himself.
Old Lu muttered to himself for a while, but Zhou Yong didn't find any useful information.
At around nine o'clock, Zhou Yong asked to go home, but Lao Lu was unwilling to let him go.
Zhou Yong rubbed his shriveled belly and said, "Brother Lu, this matter cannot be rushed. Besides, I haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to starve me to death?"
Old Lu slapped his head, his face full of apology: "Brother Zhou, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you didn't have dinner, I'll go wake up your sister-in-law..."
It was almost ten o'clock, and it was not appropriate to let Lao Lu's wife cook, so Zhou Yong went back.
When Zhou Yong arrived home, Li Caiyun was still awake. When she learned that her husband had not eaten yet, she immediately got dressed and heated up food for him.
"Don't get up. I can just heat up my own food."
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "I'm not sleepy anyway, I'll go heat up some food for you..."
Seeing this, Zhou Yong smiled, and the couple went to the kitchen on the first floor while talking.
"I thought you would come back from eating at Old Lu's house, so I didn't leave any food for you. Fortunately, there was some food left..."
Zhou Yong lit the fire while Li Caiyun started heating up the leftovers.
"By the way, why is Old Lu in such a hurry to ask you to come over?"
Zhou Yong told Li Caiyun what happened and she was stunned.
"Isn't Old Lu in trouble? What should we do?"
Zhou Yong sighed, "I promised Lao Lu that I would help him with the money issue, but as for the car, he has to rely on himself."
Li Caiyun's eyes fell on Zhou Yong: "That's more than 600,000 yuan. We lent him the money in our personal name. I'm afraid Old Lu will be able to pay it back in his lifetime..."
She didn't say it so bluntly, but Zhou Yong understood that Li Caiyun was unwilling to lend money to Lao Lu.
After all, the amount involved is too large. If it was 60,000 yuan or 100,000 yuan, Li Caiyun would agree to lend the money to Lao Lu for emergency without hesitation.
Zhou Yong added some firewood to the stove. "I'm not stupid. How could I lend such a large sum of money to Lao Lu for no reason? Doesn't the township government have a few vacant plots of land? I thought we could buy them for a little less money and build a factory in the township, so we don't have to rent a factory in the county every year..."
The garment factory is now rented. Although the rent is not expensive, it still needs to be paid every year.
Moreover, the cost of hiring workers in the county is higher. If the factory is located in the countryside, a lot of money can be saved in wages each year.
Another thing is that if the garment factory closes down in the future, the factory building and land can be sold for a profit.
Li Caiyun frowned: "Even so, the land is not worth more than 600,000 yuan, right? Besides, setting up the factory in the countryside is not conducive to Wu Peng's management, right?"
Although Zhou Yong provided Wu Peng with a car, Li Caiyun believed that the annual fuel cost would be quite high if Wu Peng traveled back and forth between the village and the county all year round.
Zhou Yong used a fire poker to stir the unburned firewood in the stove: "I want to hand over the three restaurants to Li Dan to manage, and let Wu Peng concentrate on the factory..."
After years of training and exercise, Li Dan has already demonstrated extraordinary management skills, and her strength should not be underestimated.
Li Caiyun listened to Zhou Yong's words and used a spatula to stir the food in the pot a few times: "Li Dan is a good kid. But if we do this, won't we have to pay out some money again?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Listen to me..."
Next, Zhou Yong plans to open a shoe factory and a furniture factory. If things go well, he also wants to open a trading company.
Li Caiyun put the food from the pot onto the plate: "Trading company? Export business?"
Zhou Yong nodded, his face thoughtful: "Although the current domestic development situation is very good, I think the market will be saturated in the near future..."
With the continuous increase in private enterprises and the existence of state-owned enterprises, the current domestic market competition has become very fierce.
Therefore, Zhou Yong planned to find another way and do his old business, which was foreign trade business.
Li Caiyun paused while washing the pot and said, "We have never been involved in foreign trade business. Can we rashly do this?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I want to work in foreign trade, I will do my homework in advance..."
Li Caiyun bit her lip and said, "It's up to you. You have the final say in our family anyway."
Zhou Yong secretly raised his eyebrows: "If I really have the final say in our family, would I need to explain so much to you?"
Li Caiyun glanced at Zhou Yong with a smile in her eyes: "Stop talking nonsense to me and eat quickly..."
Zhou Yong showed a faint smile on his face, and the couple carried the food to the dining table.
"If you follow your plan, our family won't have the money to invest!"
Zhou Yong was eating, and Li Caiyun considerately poured a glass of water for her man, then sat down and said this.
