Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 3: Instead of building a food court, should we sell mobile phones?

Zhao Xiaohui looked depressed.

“I waited for him for two whole hours, and he only talked to me for less than two minutes after we met.”

Zhao Ruilong forced a laugh.

"Only two minutes? That's incredibly disrespectful!"

Zhao Xiaohui was furious.

"In less than two minutes, including the time he spent looking through the project proposal I handed him!"

"So the actual conversation time was probably only a short ten seconds or so!"

Zhao Ruilong continued to suppress his anger, deliberately pretending to be very angry.

"Damn it, this is so disrespectful!"

"So what did he say?"

Zhao Xiaohui said angrily:

He said that Li Dakang was in charge of the city planning and construction of Luzhou.

"They even said that Li Dakang was our father's chief secretary, so it's only right to get approval from him!"

Zhao Ruilong sneered inwardly.

In the original drama, it was Zhao Ruilong who went to Gao Yuliang and was ridiculed.

Although the person in question is now Zhao Xiaohui, Gao Yuliang's story is certainly unchanged.

"So he didn't mention any conditions?"

Zhao Xiaohui snorted coldly, "What conditions are you going to propose? He's already put it this way, what can I say?"

"If he didn't mention it, then so be it. It seems he really doesn't want to approve it."

Zhao Ruilong could no longer suppress the smile on his lips, and simply turned and walked towards the pavilion to the side.

"So what do we do now? Neither Li Dakang nor Gao Yuliang will approve it."

Zhao Xiaohui followed closely behind, full of resentment.

"Since neither the top two leaders in Luzhou approve this project, then let's just not do it!"

Zhao Ruilong stopped, turned around, and continued:

"Not to mention that our father and Liang Qunfeng are vying for the top position, and it's still unknown who will win or lose. It's understandable that Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang are not in a hurry to choose sides."

"Moreover, the project itself has problems. There is no plan to build a sewage treatment plant. Once it is built, hundreds of restaurants of all sizes will discharge sewage, and won't Crescent Lake become a stinking lake?"

Zhao Xiaohui immediately retorted, "How could that be? The food court we're opening isn't a chemical plant, so how could the pollution be that serious?"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled softly.

He walked forward, sneering:

"Whether it's serious or not depends on when."

"Even if Dad successfully becomes the top leader, his term will only last a maximum of ten years."

"For ten years, no one dared to say anything, but ten years later, he was transferred and demoted to a secondary position?"

"When the time comes, a new generation of officials will be parachuted in. They can use the environmental unfriendliness as an excuse and use the food court project as a breakthrough to bring down our Zhao family."

"Besides, the battle between Dad and Liang Qunfeng is still ongoing. What if we get approval and start construction, but Liang Qunfeng comes to power and wants to stop it? Would we dare not stop?"

Zhao Xiaohui gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Sigh~ In the end, it's still because our dad hasn't become the top leader yet."

"Otherwise, would Gao Yuliang dare to refuse? Unless he doesn't want a promotion!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong felt a tremor in his heart.

Good guy!

If they don't approve projects for the Zhao family, will they prevent Gao Yuliang from getting promoted?

Is the second sister already itching to play the game of thrones?

If this is how things are going to go, then ten years later, when Zhao Lichun is transferred away from Handong, the Zhao family will still be unable to escape the anti-corruption storm.

"Sis, sit down, let's have a good talk!"

"What do you want to talk about? Do you have a plan?"

As soon as Zhao Xiaohui sat down, her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Neither the first nor the second-hand permits in Luzhou are approved. What can I do?"

After making his complaint, Zhao Ruilong said in a deep voice:

"I just don't understand, why does our family have to build a food court right here by Crescent Lake?"

"Are we siblings going to starve to death if we don't build a food city with endless troubles?"

Zhao Xiaohui asked in surprise, "Didn't you and Du Bozhong say that once this food court is built, it will be like a money-printing machine, making money non-stop? Why don't you want to do it now?"

Zhao Ruilong didn't waste any more words.

"I don't want to do this anymore, mainly for three reasons."

"Firstly, we don't want to give others a handle to use against us in the future, so that they can use this as an excuse to ruin our Zhao family."

"Secondly, neither Li Dakang nor Gao Yuliang are willing to approve it, and I don't want to humble myself and beg them anymore."

"Thirdly, I think the 21st century is the information age, and we have a brighter future in electronic information."

Zhao Xiaohui turned to the side.

"No, you mean you're just going to give up like this?"

“If that’s really what you think, Dad and I don’t care. Our family doesn’t necessarily need to make this money.”

"Just helping people connect with projects and charging a commission is enough to cover my expenses."

"But how do you explain this to Du Bozhong? The Lakeside Garden residential complex we're developing was brought in by him."

"The reason why they were willing to let us have a large share without spending a penny is not only because they wanted to use our connections and backgrounds, but also because we promised to build a food court."

Zhao Ruilong sneered:

"Isn't the ultimate goal of building a food court to make money?"

"Making money is easy, I'll just find him a good project, won't that solve the problem?"

Zhao Xiaohui chuckled.

"You're really sitting here doing nothing, it's easy for you. If finding good projects were that easy, why would we bother with all this effort?"

"Dad said that the biggest problem with China's economic development is that it has not joined the WTO, resulting in overcapacity and sluggish consumption."

"The best way to improve the economy is to develop the tertiary sector; otherwise, we wouldn't be here to develop and utilize the tourism resources of Crescent Lake!"

Zhao Ruilong shook his head repeatedly.

"There's no such thing as sluggish consumption! It's just that products and services haven't met the needs of the people!"

"Take out your phone and take a good look at it. It's so convenient to stay connected even when you're out and about."

"Do you think ordinary people don't want them? Of course they do, but with prices often reaching two or three thousand yuan, how can they afford them?"

"Moreover, making and receiving phone calls costs money. Calls within the city cost 40 cents per minute. Such expensive phone bills deter many people."

Zhao Xiaohui frowned.

"So you mean we shouldn't build a food court, but instead invest in a mobile phone factory? That's high-tech, we don't understand it at all, and it'll be hard to find people to do it!"

Zhao Ruilong asked with a smile, "Haven't you heard that there's a cordless mobile phone that's cheaper than a cell phone, and it's already selling like hotcakes in cities like Hangzhou, Jinghai, and Anxi? It's called Xiaolingtong, isn't it?"

"With the connections of our Zhao family, we can definitely get the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) service available in major cities in Handong very soon. Once we open a few hundred specialty stores, do you still have to worry about not making money?"

Zhao Xiaohui held her phone, lost in thought for a moment.

"Can you really make money selling PHS phones?"

“If you don’t believe me, just call my second uncle Zhao Lidong right now. Isn’t he the political and legal clerk in Jinghai? He definitely knows whether the mobile phone business is booming there.”

As he said this, Zhao Ruilong also sighed inwardly.

The Zhao family is truly a large and powerful clan!

Apart from his father, Zhao Lichun, who is now the governor of Handong Province.

My second uncle, Zhao Lidong, is the political and legal secretary of Jinghai City, Linjiang Province.

My third uncle, Zhao Ligen, is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Shimen District, Lvteng City, Zhongjiang Province.

In addition, his father, Zhao Lidong, also has a cousin named Zhao Anbang.

He is very good at managing the economy, and it seems that he is now the vice governor of Hanjiang Province.

Perhaps it is precisely because there are so many powerful and arrogant members of the Zhao family.

Therefore, Zhao Ruilong in the original drama was once extremely arrogant and rampant.

Even Hou Liangping, the "imperial envoy" sent by the Supreme People's Procuratorate to investigate the case in Handong, Zhong Zhengguo's son-in-law, and Zhong Xiaoai's husband, was almost assassinated by Zhao Ruilong.

So, at this moment, Gao Qiqiang, the fishmonger who had just brought down Xu Jiang and become Chen Tai's godfather, was naturally an insignificant figure compared to Zhao Ruilong.

at the moment.

Zhao Xiaohui made a phone call to Zhao Lidong.

After exchanging only a few words, he suddenly stood up.

Is it really that popular?

"Then let's set off for Jinghai immediately!"
