Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Business Genius!

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, everyone’s smiles faded, and their expressions became serious.

Because Xue Changjiang had already called Yu Kaiping, and Zhou Yu had also shared his thoughts on the phone just now, Yu Kaiping had contemplated them on his way over.

He spoke directly.

"Zhou Yu, based on my understanding of Xue Changjiang, he’s someone who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He will not let this matter go easily," he said.

"If that’s the case, then we can’t afford to be lenient."

"I’ve thought it over, we can join forces to set up a real enterprise and lay our cards on the table with Xue Changjiang, to openly compete with him."

"Of course, it will definitely be challenging at the beginning, but as long as we can persevere for ten or eight years, by then, Guangda Chemical may not be able to sit back and relax, monopolizing the market."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu shook his head.

"Uncle Yu, I can’t wait that long."

Zhou Yu then explained the bet he had made with Jiang Xin.

"Uncle Yu, He Xu, Mi Lan, this isn’t just about the bet. You are the people I trust, and I won’t hide anything from you."

"I want to take this opportunity of the Shanghai city’s official investment promotion to establish my own power in Shanghai, to help me expand my information channels and assist me in accomplishing a very important task."

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Yu Kaiping and the others showed serious expressions on their faces.

Zhou Yu’s meaning was very clear, and they all understood it.

They naturally wanted to help Zhou Yu, but...

Three months!!!

This timeline... it’s too short...

It seemed quite unrealistic!

After a brief silence, He Xu, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said:

"Perhaps, there is still a way, although it’s difficult..."

All eyes turned to He Xu.

Zhou Yu asked:

"He Xu, what do you have in mind?"

Taking a deep breath, He Xu said:

"I’ve previously done a thorough investigation into Guangda Chemical."

"There are many reasons why they could monopolize the entire manufacturing industry in Haizhou as a single enterprise."

"Strong financial power, substantial technological and talent reserves, and a complete factory infrastructure are the main factors, but they aren’t the most crucial ones."

"Oh?"

Yu Kaiping showed a puzzled look.

"What do you mean by most crucial?" he asked.

He Xu spoke with a serious tone:

"Minerals!"

"That is to say, raw materials."

"The core reason Guangda Chemical has been able to do all this is because they have the richest mineral resources in Haizhou in their hands. Subsequent industries wanting to compete with them either have to buy raw materials from them or import from outside."

"Importing costs a lot, so the later enterprises actually have no choice but to purchase from them."

"This essentially seizes the lifeline of other enterprises."

"So, to replace them, we must take control of the minerals in their hands."

"This is the first difficult point, and of course, I know it’s as difficult as ascending to heaven..."

Hearing this, Yu Kaiping’s eyes flashed with admiration.

"He Xu, the niece of commerce in Haizhou’s younger generation, truly has penetrating insights," he praised.

"Continue, what about the second point?"

He Xu started:

"If we can gain control over some mineral resources, we can take the path of industrial upgrading."

"Your enterprise, Uncle Yu, is mainly engaged in emerging industries with a high level of informatization and intelligence. We can leverage your strengths to upgrade and transform Haizhou’s existing manufacturing industry, which could give us a chance to rise rapidly within a short period of time."

Zhou Yu’s heart stirred.

"He Xu, based on your plan, how long would it take for us to reach a considerable scale?"

After a moment of thought, He Xu said:

"At least three to five years."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said,

"That’s still too long."

"What’s the second difficulty you mentioned? You seemed not to bring it up just now?"

He Xu took a deep breath before replying.

"The second difficulty is that I have a much faster method that can achieve your desired result within three to five months."

"Let’s hear it," Zhou Yu hurriedly responded.

He Xu took another deep breath and said,

"To rise up in such a short time, we would definitely need the state government’s support."

"If the state government could issue a document supporting industrial upgrading and launch a series of preferential policies in a short time, thus giving us policy support,"

"then, convincing the state government to take a stake, turning our industry into a state-owned enterprise, providing all technical staff with lifetime appointments, as well as corresponding educational and medical welfare benefits, we would have the chance to rise rapidly within three months."

"Even if we can’t replace Everbright Chemicals right away, it would be enough to deal a heavy blow to them, and taking their place would be just a matter of time."

"The most important thing is, if nothing unexpected happens, after three months, the scale of our new enterprise should be enough to meet the conditions for attracting investment in Shanghai, which would also realize Zhou Yu’s intentions..."

"But to do this, we need substantial official support, so this is equally as difficult as scaling the heavens."

After listening to this, the room fell into silence.

Everyone stared blankly at He Xu.

Yu Kaiping was no exception.

What He Xu had said was astonishing.

To be able to come up with such an idea requires not just an in-depth understanding of the various industries in Haizhou and a profound knowledge of business principles, but also a wild imagination and a character that doesn’t conform to convention.

None of these can be lacking.

This was beyond simply being a business prodigy; it was the work of a genius.

Yu Kaiping took a deep breath and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

"Brilliant!"

"I, Yu Kaiping, have been through the business world for decades and like to think that I have some business talent. Today, after hearing what niece He Xu said, I’ve realized there are always more talented people out there and mountains beyond mountains."

He Xu felt somewhat embarrassed by the praise.

"I was just thinking out loud. To actually do it is much too difficult, unless Governor Zhang lends his robust support."

"Leave that to me," Yu Kaiping immediately promised.

"I assure you, I can arrange everything with the state government, just as you have suggested."

This time, it was He Xu who was shocked.

"Uncle Yu, are you... are you serious?"

Yu Kaiping laughed heartily,

"Of course."

"Zhang Zheng and I are old friends. Of course, our relationship alone wouldn’t suffice for this step."

"But with Zhou Yu, it’s a different story."

"Zhou Yu is Zhang Zheng’s life-saving benefactor."

He Xu looked astounded.

She had never expected Zhou Yu to have such a connection with Zhang Zheng.

If that were the case, then her proposal might indeed be feasible.

He Xu looked at Zhou Yu with an inquiring gaze.

Zhou Yu nodded.

He then said,

"Now, it’s about the issue of mining resources. If we can obtain some mining resources, we can start to put this plan into action."

"Yes, exactly," He Xu agreed.

"Zhou Yu, what’s your plan?"

Zhou Yu was about to speak when Chen Feihu suddenly rushed in, all flustered.

"Mr. Zhou, it’s bad news, Xue... Xue Changjiang is here!"
