Chapter 303 - Proposal
Zhang Qin Feng skipped the charade of speaking in a roundabout manner and went straight to the point. Of course, he was betting that Han-Sung is by Liu Qiang's side right now. If the latter weren't by his employer's side, it would be pointless for him to rush things up.
Luckily, he won the bet. Han-Sung is indeed beside Liu Qiang when he's answering Zhang Qin Feng's phone call.
"Give me a moment," the phone went into holding mode as Han-Sung communicated with his boss. In less than half a minute, the noise returned to the earpiece. But this time, it was Liu Qiang's voice that answering the call.
"What business you have with me, young nephew?" Liu Qiang asked. It seems he wasn't shocked by Zhang Qin Feng coming back from death either. In his initial guess, it must be Wang Yufei who told Liu Qiang about this matter.
"Hello, uncle Liu. Thank you for the support in searching for me back then. I am grateful that you still support Yufei and my small business while I'm not around." Zhang Qin Feng started by expressing his gratitude towards the senior for his help so far.
Based on what he heard from Alice Moon, Liu Qiang's men have been helping a lot with the Instant Noodle Business after he went missing. And it was also part of his help that the business expanded a little after half a year.
Furthermore, he also provides some help through his connection to form a searching team on the sea. Although there's no result after a few months of searching, the effort itself was commendable.
"Well, it seems this brat still knows how to say thank you. No wonder our little princess fell in love with you so deeply. But this shouldn't be the main reason to call me, correct? Shoot what you have in your mouth before I get back to my own matters." Liu Qiang said.
He was half praising and half strict towards Zhang Qin Feng as he felt that someone had to be the evil uncle between them. Since the Wang Elder and Wang Yufei is on Zhang Qin Feng's side, he can only volunteer to take this position.
Because in what he believes, an overly bonded family would always decide based on emotion and brotherhood. This might be good for a more traditional family business, but not a modern business module.
To survive in the business world, scheming, deceit, and seizing the opportunity when it appeared was the quickest way to keep the business growing. Brotherhood spirit was now replaced by money speeches, and loyalty only seemed when there was a mutual interest.
There's no right or wrong here. All there is was profit and benefit.
"Uncle Liu is sharp, so I'm sure you know about the Wind Base Group. Can I interest you with a business proposal?" Zhang Qin Feng knew that it was pointless to hide his intention for calling.
"What business? Legal or illegal?" Liu Qiang continued.
"That would be up to uncle's opinion. What do you think about the sea freight business?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. He knew that right now, there's no company or shipbuilder out there is capable of going against the Wind Base Group.
And instead of producing everything for war, he might as well consider doing business by cooperating with people with enough experience. In this regard, Liu Qiang was a professional because he's well known for his extensive contact worldwide.
Furthermore, Zhang Qin Feng can't rely on mere ships to bring what he needs to develop Marianna island anymore. In his opinion, the boat was too slow, and there was too much regulation to follow.
If he was given a choice, Zhang Qin Feng would instead captain a freight ship about the size of the Leviathan in construction to carry around 400,000 tonnes of building material from overseas.
But again, nothing can be done if he relies on his own ability to make this happen. With his limited connection, reckless attitude in handling an important matter, and inexperience, planning something of this magnitude would be problematic.
That's why, to make sure it went well, getting Liu Qiang's help would be the best decision he can make. Furthermore, because the number of construction materials available in post-apocalypse is enormous, he could easily order them to produce five or ten such ships.
"Sounds interesting. But what are you taking out to get my interest? I'm not some hot-blooded youngster, boy. If you have nothing interesting, I would rather keep my own connection to spread them across my bread like butter." Liu Qiang said.
"Of course, I have something that might get your interest. But uncle might be overwhelmed by this. Are you ready for that?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. With just less than a week to go before the Leviathan is complete, all Zhang Qin Feng need is to invite Liu Qiang for a walk on top of the colossal ship.
"Hahaha, then I'll be waiting to see what you have for me. When will you show me?" Liu Qiang asked.
"Let's make it Wednesday next week. But I'll have to bother uncle Liu to take a helicopter over to Marianna. Would that be inconvenient for you?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"Inconvenience? Unless you're asking me to sell you a few aircraft carriers, nothing could give me a problem, boy. Just get your surprise ready for me on Wednesday." Liu Qiang seems to be more cheerful in this conversation.
"Then, this nephew will be giving you the coordinate to go to on this coming Wednesday. Thank you, uncle." Zhang Qin Feng politely shows his gratitude before finishing the call.
After the call, he made a trip towards the Instant Noodle Factory. The two guards that accompanied him drove him there comfortably without noise while Zhang Qin Feng took a quick nap.
The factory already closed as they were preparing for the move. But the security guards were still making sure no outsider was coming in without approval.
Getting inside the main production area, Zhang Qin Feng touched the machine one part after another and delivered all of them into his Dimensional Storage. By the time he left the factory, it was now emptier than when they rented the place.
Even the hired security guard was shocked when he was patrolling the place at night.
"Did someone move everything without me knowing it?" he asked.
