Chapter 286
"Where will the money come from, Brother Lei?" A-Qiang asked, scratching his head in distress.
Lei Tingjun flicked away the lighter, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Loan."
Ah Qiang: "What?!"
Zhou Peng: "A loan?"
“Yes, a loan. We’ll use our existing assets to get a loan from the bank,” Lei Tingjun said.
"Brother Lei, isn't this too risky? You know, if we take out a loan, our financial pressure will increase dramatically."
Ah Qiang couldn't even imagine how much money he would have to borrow if he were to take out a loan for such a large commercial development project.
If other problems arise after the project is completed, how will they repay the huge debt to the bank?
Zhou Peng patted A-Qiang on the shoulder and said, "Qiangzi, haven't you heard the saying, 'To do great things, the bold get rich and the timid starve'? Our Brother Lei is the kind of guy who does great things. Following him is definitely the right thing to do!"
Lei Tingjun glanced at Zhou Peng but did not respond.
It must be said that Zhou Peng has known Lei Tingjun for a long time and is quite familiar with his style of doing things.
That's right, that's what Thunder Army thinks.
If you always hesitate and look back before acting, then your covetousness will be fleeting.
Conservatively speaking, they secured their existing foundation, but missed the opportunity to expand their business and team further, and this is all the success they can achieve in their lifetime.
Lei Tingjun said to A-Qiang, "The loan will be handled entirely in my name as the legal representative. Even if we lose money, I will bear the full responsibility."
Lei Tingjun knew about A-Qiang's current concerns.
He planned to get married after Zhu Shuangyan graduated.
My house in my hometown of Pingquan County is almost finished, and a happy life is just around the corner.
If he were to accumulate hundreds of thousands in debt at this time, he could forget about marrying his wife.
"I've already made up my mind about this. As for negotiating the terms with the government and dealing with the building materials partners, I'll take care of that."
"If you two are willing to work with me, all you need to do is support me."
He paused, then added, "If you feel there's a risk, that's fine too, Qiang. I'm entrusting the Thunder Transport Team to you. The projects in the Xikai District will be entirely handled by Thunder Army. Once I get there, I'll organize the workers and rebuild a new construction team. It won't affect our original fleet."
Ah Qiang hesitated for a moment and did not reply.
Zhou Peng was a penniless individual with no family wealth. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of losing anything or starting over, and immediately declared, "Brother Lei, I'm willing to work with you on this project!"
Ah Qiang said, "Brother Lei, can I go back and think about it and give you an answer tomorrow?"
It's not that A-Qiang didn't want to work with Lei Tingjun, nor that he didn't trust Brother Lei.
After all, he knew very well that he had started from scratch with Lei Tingjun and that's how he got to where he is today.
What he was actually hesitating about was that he had already made a promise with Zhu Shuangyan that they would go back to their hometown of Pingquan together to meet her parents after she graduated in June.
At that time, Zhu Shuangyan will accept Ji Wanmei's invitation and return to the Dongfang Factory to apply for a job.
With her academic qualifications and professional skills, plus Ji Wanmei's recommendation to her father, getting the job is a sure thing.
Based on this timeline, and considering that they've already met the woman's parents, it's highly likely they'll get married in the second half of this year.
A-Qiang didn't want Zhu Shuangyan to share the burden of a loan with him right after they got married.
This is a bit unfair to the girl, especially since they're already talking about marriage. At this age, A-Qiang wants to take advantage of this evening to go to the vocational school and discuss it with Zhu Shuangyan.
Anyway, Lei Tingjun won't be going back to East China until tomorrow.
He still has that time.
After the three-person meeting, Lei Tingjun and Zhou Peng returned to the workshop together and ate dinner in the kitchen behind the workshop that night.
Ah Qiang quickly drove his pickup truck to the workers' school to find Zhu Shuangyan.
Zhu Shuangyan was carrying two nylon bags filled with goods. She was talking to her classmate when she came out of the school gate and saw A-Qiang waiting for her on the roadside outside the gate.
Zhu Shuangyan's classmates had seen A-Qiang frequently escorting her back to school and knew that he was her boyfriend.
He jokingly said, "Shuangyan, you are so lucky. Your boyfriend picks you up and drops you off every day."
Another classmate said, "Yeah, I think they'll probably get married right after graduation."
"I heard that Shuangyan's boyfriend owns a transportation team, managing a dozen or twenty workers, and he makes a lot of money."
Zhu Shuangyan smiled faintly, "Stop talking nonsense. He works with his older brother; the transport team isn't just his. He earns his money through hard work; it's not that easy."
"Alright, alright, stop joking around. Go on, look at your boyfriend, he's staring straight at us. If we don't let you go, he'll come looking for us."
After saying goodbye to Shuangyan, the two classmates walked towards Aqiang, smiling at him: "Don't you usually wait for me at the night market square? Why did you come to pick me up at the school gate today?"
Ah-Qiang took the two nylon bags from her and carried them for her, saying, "Uh, I have something to tell you."
"What's wrong? You seem quite serious." Zhu Shuangyan turned her head to look at him.
Ah Qiang said, "Well, I don't even know where to begin. It's a long story."
"Then let's get to the point," Zhu Shuangyan said.
A-Qiang then recounted the entire incident from the very beginning, including everything that had happened in the past few days, up to what Lei Tingjun had told him and Zhou Peng that day, to his girlfriend, Zhu Shuangyan.
