Chapter 659 Zhou He's Plan

Letting his second sister-in-law go and do her work first, Song Fuyu changed out of his pajamas and went to the living room.

"Happy New Year, Sister Fu Yu."

"Happy New Year, how do you have time to come here? Isn't school about to start?"

Zhou He did not study in Jing City, he applied to a university in Hai City.

"I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Tell me, what's the matter."

"Sister Fu Yu, when you were teaching me how to make brown sugar steamed cake, you said that if I ever wanted to start a food factory, I could ask you to invest. Does that still count?"

Song Fuyu didn't expect that he really took her words to heart. Zhou He seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old at that time.

"It counts. I mean what I say."

After getting her affirmative answer, Zhou He happily took out a plan made up of more than a dozen sheets of paper from his schoolbag and handed it to her.

"This is the plan I wrote for setting up a food factory. Please take a look."

Song Fuyu took the plan and was a little surprised, as if time had gone back to a few years ago when she had just married Ziyuan.

When she first set up her clothing factory, she spent a lot of time and stayed up late to write the business plan. She remembered that she complained that there were no computers and printers in that era, which made her hands sore from writing.

At this moment, she felt that Zhou He sitting opposite her was especially like her a few years ago, with the courage and drive of a newborn calf, and hope for the future.

Song Fuyu sat on the sofa, carefully flipping through Zhou He's handwritten plan page by page.

"Mom, who is this brother?"

An An, who had just returned from piano lessons, ran over and threw herself on her.

"He's not your brother, you should call him Uncle Zhou He."

"But this uncle looks about the same age as Brother Chengzhou."

"Because Uncle Zhou He's father and your grandfather are brothers."

Song Fuyu knew that her little head couldn't accommodate such complicated things, so he didn't explain any further.

"Go play with Xixi next door first. Mom has something important to discuss with Uncle Zhou He now."

"Well, mom, remember to come find me next door after you finish talking. Don't forget."

"I know. Let's go now."

It took Song Fuyu half an hour to finish reading the plan.

"You want me to invest 500,000 yuan in you, but as far as I know, a medium-sized food factory, for now, only needs 100,000 yuan, and a large one only needs 200,000 or 300,000 yuan at most. Isn't 500,000 yuan a bit too much?"

“It’s a bit much indeed.”

"What is your intention?"

"Currently, all food factories are owned by the state, so a hundred or two hundred thousand is enough, because they don't need to consider the cost of the land, and the government will directly approve the land. I founded a private factory, so there will be some differences."

"I want to apply for a piece of land for a long-term lease of more than ten years. If possible, I would even like a longer lease. Of course, it would be better if I could buy it directly."

“Do you have a channel?”

If she wants to get land approved by the higher authorities, she has to negotiate and communicate for a long time.

Zhou He is a new college student, currently studying in Hai City. Uncle Zhou has been staying in Heng City, could he have connections in Hai City?

"To be honest, I went to see Uncle Chen. He said your uncle is a foreign businessman who built a shopping mall in Hai City. He asked him to help with the land approval and it shouldn't be a big problem."

"So it's still my connections."

"Strictly speaking, that's right."

Zhou He felt a little embarrassed and his face began to turn red.

"I don't recommend you to re-apply for land to build a factory. Both the time cost and management cost are too high."

“You want me to buy an existing food factory?”

"Um."

"I've thought about it before, but you're the only one in the country who's acquired a refrigerator factory, and there's no other."

“So I need you to talk.”

"You can give yourself a deadline. If the deal is not concluded within that time, or if there is no sign of a deal being concluded soon, then you can consider building a new plant."

"OK."

This was a test given to him by Song Fuyu, and he also hoped that he would take advantage of this time to get in touch with more people he would need to meet in order to set up a factory.

When she first founded the clothing factory, the situation she faced was completely different from what Zhou He faced.

With her grandfather and father as her backers, and the Qin City Garment Factory as her partner, everything became much simpler. She didn't even need to show up in person to negotiate with her superiors, as her grandfather would help her handle it, saving her a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Zhou He doesn't have this shortcut, so he has to rely on himself.

Zhou He accepted Song Fuyu's advice and left in a hurry without even having lunch.

To him, time is money and should not be wasted.

"Mom, that uncle is gone?"

"Well, he went home."

"Mom, why don't you invite people to dinner?"

"He's in a hurry and can't stay for dinner."

"Well, I want to take him to see grandpa."

In fact, she wanted to find Chen Guoxing herself.

"Didn't grandpa take you out to play yesterday?"

"Did grandpa promise you again to take you out for a nice meal?"

"Hehe, grandpa said that they have opened a new snack bar near the office building. The fried dough sticks and donkey rolls there are delicious. I want to try them too."

"You little greedy cat, there's still not enough food at home."

Song Fuyu tapped her cute little nose.

I don’t know who this little girl looks like, why is she so greedy?

Even though she went to dance lessons every afternoon, she still couldn't get rid of the baby fat on her face, and her brother Pingping had grown taller.

"Let's go back and have lunch."

"Xiao Yu, our meal is ready. Why don't you stay at our house and have lunch today?"

"No, Aunt Lu, Sister Liu is almost done. If we can't finish it, we have to save it for the next meal."

Even if the food is not bad, she doesn't like to leave the meal uneaten. She likes to eat fresh food.

"Mom, let's go home quickly. I'm hungry."

The mother and daughter went home hand in hand.
