Chapter 42 Turning Debt into Investment
After closing the gate, I finally had some peace and quiet.
"Mom, I think we need a dog at home. A Chinese native dog would be good."
"It was not convenient to raise a baby cat when I lived in the city before, but now I have more space. I will go to the village and ask if anyone has given birth and bring one back."
Gu Honglan agreed with a smile on her face.
Luo Jianguo, on the other hand, stared at Luo Yang several times, as if he was confirming whether the man in front of him was his son.
There were only four people left in the room. They could have sat down on a stool each around the octagonal table, but Gu Honglan insisted on sitting next to her son and held his hand, refusing to let go.
"I see that you only signed this contract in September. Where did you get the 9 yuan for stock trading?"
When only his family and his eldest disciple Chu Junpeng were left, Luo Jianguo could no longer bear the doubts in his heart and asked.
"The commission I got from selling the house. I guess I met a noble person."
Luo Yang smiled and told the story of how he worked as a part-time salesperson and encountered real estate speculators.
“Is this chairman’s assistant real?”
Luo Jianguo also asked for a business card and looked at it. While flipping through it, he asked, "Although you are studying civil engineering, you are only a sophomore. How did they choose you?"
"Luo Jianguo, are you done yet?"
Before Luo Yang could speak, Gu Honglan got angry: "This is your own son. Is it so difficult to admit that he is excellent?"
"."
Luo Yang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"Son, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you!"
“Are there any vegetables at home?”
The frustrated Lao Luo muttered something, which was heard by the sharp-eared Gu Honglan, who immediately gave him a "sharp" look.
"Mom, it's still early, I'll drive to town and buy some groceries."
Luo Yang stood up and said, "If you have any questions, let's talk about it while we eat tonight."
"Master, Master's Wife, Yangyang, since the matter has been resolved, I will go back first!"
Seeing that the trouble had been resolved, Chu Junpeng stood up and greeted Luo Jianguo's family.
"Why don't you call Pingping over to eat with us?"
Since ancient times, a friend in need is a friend indeed. In recent times, Gu Honglan has seen everything Chu Junpeng has done, and she is very satisfied with her eldest disciple Luo Jianguo.
"Master's wife, Zheng Ping bought a lot of vegetables this morning, and my father-in-law will come over in the evening."
"Pengzi's family is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, so don't keep him."
Seeing Chu Junpeng standing up and about to leave, Luo Yang suddenly called out to him: "Brother Junpeng, wait a minute!"
As he spoke, he took out the remaining money from the black plastic bag, handed over the two complete bundles and said, "Take these 20,000 first, and I'll let my dad get the rest for you when the bank opens!"
Chu Junpeng refused to accept it no matter what.
"Just take it if I tell you to. Apart from taking out your monthly living expenses, you haven't taken any money home for more than half a year."
Luo Jianguo said, "It doesn't make sense that even Ge Changrong can take the money, but yours should be withheld!"
Gu Honglan, who holds the financial power, knows the situation. She grabbed the two bundles of money from Luo Yang's hand and stuffed them into Chu Junpeng's hand: "Tell the truth when you go back. Pingping is a good child. We can't let you and your wife have conflicts because of our family's affairs."
Unable to refuse, Chu Junpeng had to accept the money.
But before leaving, he added: "Master's Wife, Master will have to take on more projects later, so he must be short of money. Don't take the rest of my money for now. Just wait until Master makes some money and then give it to me!"
After saying this, he ran away without looking back for fear of being scolded.
"This kid!"
Gu Honglan seemed to be complaining, but her face was full of satisfaction. "Mom, I'm going to buy groceries, and I'll give Brother Junpeng a visit while I'm at it!"
Luo Yang picked up the remaining seven or eight bills on the table, gave some instructions and ran out.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon hanging in the sky is big and round, and its moonlight falls on the yard. The osmanthus tree in the yard emits a fluorescent glow, and the fragrance of the flowers becomes stronger and stronger, drifting into the house with the wind, mixing with the aroma of the dishes on the table, it is especially fragrant!
"Dad, Mom, I toast to you and wish you good health!"
With him around, everything will go well and wealth will come rolling in, so Luo Yang only wishes his parents good health and a long life!
“good good”
Luo Jianguo was filled with emotion for a moment and didn't know what to say at this time. He could only say three good words in a row.
Gu Honglan's eyes were red, but she drank the white wine in the small cup in one gulp with a smile on her face.
Then he started putting food into Luo Yang's bowl.
After a few drinks, the topic started to change and Luo Jianguo also asked about business matters.
"Yangyang, what exactly did you say about the cooperation you talked about with Lao Shi and the others this afternoon?"
"Dad, that's what I think."
Luo Yang gathered his words and said, "You will definitely need to take on more projects in the future, but if you do, you will have to advance money. What I want is to recruit Boss Shi and his team, so that when you take on the next job, they can continue to advance money for you and relieve your pressure!"
"I haven't paid off the previous payment yet, and they are still willing to help me advance the money?"
Luo Jianguo was a little unconvinced.
"As long as you can still get regular projects, why can't they continue to advance funds?"
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Formwork, scaffolding, tower cranes, building materials. These suppliers are everywhere. As long as you have a project, there will be a lot of people coming to you. Now you don't need them to look for business opportunities. We promise that we will use their products at the market price for future projects. As long as you can settle the payment on time, I think they are absolutely willing to turn debt into investment and support you to get more projects!"
“Turning debt into investment.”
Luo Jianguo sipped his tongue as he pondered over his son's words, tasting something.
"Dad, this is a win-win situation. I bet that as long as we tell them tomorrow, they will definitely be willing to accept this cooperation plan."
“Have you started teaching this in school?”
No matter from which perspective, only a university could teach Luo Yang this knowledge, otherwise there would be no source.
Luo Yang hummed in a hasty manner, vaguely passing it over.
Fortunately, Luo Jianguo didn't pay too much attention to these things, but imagined what would happen next: "Yangyang, are you sure you can get the project in Shanghai?"
"Jincheng Real Estate will have to wait a while before accepting projects."
Luo Yang spoke truthfully: "After all, I have only been working part-time in this company for a month. I need to get further approval from the chairman before I can ask for this."
"That's true."
Luo Jianguo felt that his son's answer was logical.
"Dad, after the debts are settled in the next two days, you should also go visit your third uncle and uncle-in-law."
As a family, there is no need to hesitate when talking. Luo Yang said directly, "First, see if there is any work that can be taken from them. No matter how big or small, do it first. Even if you want to take on a project in Shanghai later, you must have a team at hand."
"You're right. Lanzi, come with me to your brother-in-law's house in a few days."
"Well, I'll call Lao Wu tomorrow and tell him in advance."
Since this was for her husband's sake, Gu Honglan naturally did not say anything.
The third uncle and uncle-in-law that Luo Yang mentioned just now both have some influence in public institutions. In his previous life, the reason why Luo Jianguo was able to take on small jobs with a makeshift team after he fell into poverty was because of the help from these two relatives.
But now Luo Yang doesn’t think so.
You have to know that this is the time when the 4 trillion infrastructure plan is being launched. There is a construction boom across the country and projects are everywhere.
Why not take the big job?
