Chapter 65 Pulling the Li family into the car

Several people drank a few more rounds, and the wine was almost ready. Lin Feng didn't come here to fight for wine, and Li Wanxiang didn't want to miss the opportunity to have a good discussion with Lin Feng.

So the banquet was quickly removed, and Li Wanxiang invited Lin Feng to drink tea in the study alone.

After the maid served the tea, Li Wanxiang took a sip from the teacup and then said, "My lord, what do you think of my little daughter?"

When Lin Feng heard this, he thought, Damn, this is the time to send off his daughter. Faced with such tempting sugar-coated bullets, should I accept it or not?

Wait, there's a word missing. Should I accept it or not? Nonsense, facing such a girl, there must be other choices, of course I have to accept it again and again.

Of course, the honor of the county magistrate has to be taken into consideration. Lin Feng said with a smile: "Miss Li is a good girl with a good heart, talent and beauty, but I am already engaged in Taiyuan."

Although I have a good impression of Li Rushi, as a man, I can't be like Chen Shimei. She has a new love and abandons the old love. Besides, Miss Feng from Taiyuan is also very good. She will never give up on herself, but she can't do anything that dislikes the old.

"Your Excellency is young and is already a county magistrate. His future is limitless. It is normal to have a marriage contract. I don't expect my little girl to be the only one to be doted on. If you don't mind it, it is okay to have her as a family member in the future." Li Wanxiang said in this regard I really want to know, these days, what powerful man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?

"There's no need to rush this matter. We have to see what Miss Li wants." Although Lin Feng was moved, he couldn't appear too anxious.

"I understand what you mean, sir. Then I'll ask my little girl what she thinks." Li Wanxiang is also a sensible person and knows that Lin Feng cannot directly say that he wants three wives and four concubines when they meet for the first time.

Officials must be decent and tactful.

"Master Li, do you know about Zhenming Group?" Lin Feng changed the topic.

"Of course I know this. General Manager Li Xiongzhen's business covers a wide range of industries, and his relationship with the county government is also very harmonious." Li Wanxiang is currently undertaking the infrastructure business of the Fudong compound of the group, so he is relatively familiar with the situation.

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and continued: "To tell you the truth, the general manager of Zhenming Industry is my good brother. As for Zhenming Group, I can also be a part owner, so you took over the government smoothly last time. Project on the East Compound,"

"Sir, even if you don't tell me, I can guess a thing or two. Shopkeeper Li is also from Taiyuan. Without local connections, how can he dare to do such a big business?"

"So what do you think of Zhenming Group's business style? Is there anything like bullying others and oppressing partners?" Lin Feng then asked.

"I have never heard that Zhenming Group operates in a legal and orderly manner. I guess this is also your request, sir." Li Wanxiang replied.

"This is my usual request. Regardless of whether there is a relationship or not, we must abide by the laws of the market, that is, follow the rules of doing business. We will never allow the government to bully the market. Of course, if we are familiar with each other, this cooperation will definitely be more convenient. Yes." Lin Feng said.

"That's right. Doing any business requires connections. I admire your Lord's philosophy very much."

"Then I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in reaching a deeper cooperation with Zhenming Group?"

"May I ask what kind of cooperation it is?" Li Wanxiang asked with great interest.

"It's not too early tonight. If Mr. Li is interested, how about we make an appointment with Mr. Li, the manager of Zhenming Group, to discuss it tomorrow?" Lin Feng said.

"Of course I'm interested in this. Everything depends on the arrangements of the county magistrate." Li Wanxiang felt that people like Lin Feng would not cheat him, so he answered simply.

Lin Feng stood up at this time and said: "That's okay. Let's come to the county office tomorrow afternoon to discuss it in detail. I'll go back in the evening. Thank you, Master Li, for your warm hospitality."

"Okay, let's talk tomorrow." Li Wanxiang said, leading Lin Feng out.

Back at Lin's house, Mother Lin and Xiaomei Lin had already rested. Lin Feng asked Fang Xiaoyu to call Li Xiongzhen next door and talk to him about cooperation with the Li family.

After a while, Li Xiongzhen walked in and said as he walked: "County Magistrate Lin Da, I don't know what you are doing by summoning the common people so late."

Lin Feng ignored him, pulled up a chair and said, "Sit!"

"Is everything okay? It's not because you didn't drink well at Li's house. Are you planning to drag me to have another drink?" Li Xiongzhen sat down and said.

"What's wrong with drinking? I drink well at Li's house. This Li Wanxiang is indeed a talent, very discerning and very clear-minded."

"Yes, and he is also very good at engineering. He is more disciplined in doing business and is a good partner." Li Xiongzhen agreed.

"You think so too, so I decided to drag him onto our pirate ship. Bah, what a pirate ship, it's our big ship.

Nowadays, the group is very short of talents who understand management. To achieve rapid development, it must rely on the power of these large companies. " Lin Feng said.

Li Xiongzhen got a glass of water by himself, took a sip and said, "My Lord Lin Da County, you just now know that we are short of people. I thought you were going to tire me to death."

"Haha, how can I not? I am looking for help for you."

"The Li family is good, but are they reliable?" Li Xiongzhen knew Lin Feng's ambitions and asked with some worry.

"This trust must be gradually established. I am considering preliminary cooperation with the Li family first, and then let them gradually integrate into the group after passing the inspection." Lin Feng said.

"This method is good. It allows them to become our fixed contractors for infrastructure construction. After they get familiar with each other, we can achieve deeper cooperation."

"In addition to construction projects, the Li family is also engaged in the coal business. Our coking industry also needs upstream suppliers to provide us with enough coal."    "This is possible, and we can save a lot of trouble."

"I have made an appointment with the head of the Li family to come to the county government office tomorrow afternoon for a detailed discussion. You can come with me then."

"Yes!" Li Xiongzhen replied.

Fugu County Government.

Li Xiongzhen and Li Wanxiang had already arrived at the county magistrate's office as agreed. Lin Feng naturally sat at the top, while Li Xiongzhen and Li Wanxiang sat at the sides.

Lin Feng ordered Lin Jiakang to pour tea for the two of them and said: "Master Li, yesterday I talked to you about the cooperation with Zhenming Group. After discussion with Mr. Li, the shopkeeper, we found that there are two main modes of cooperation.

One is to provide fixed contract tasks to your Li family, such as infrastructure projects, coal procurement, etc. You will supply the goods at least 10% cheaper than the market price, and you will have to face competition from other merchants in the market at any time. If there are other high-quality and low-price suppliers, Zhenming Group will definitely have to change their cooperation. There is no reason to increase expenses in vain.

The other is a more in-depth cooperation, with Zhenming Group and the Li family jointly investing in the establishment of a new company as a holding store of Zhenming Group, so that related businesses will naturally not run away. "

Li Xiongzhen then added: "The first is equivalent to a familiar partner, who can be exchanged with each other; the second is to jointly establish a branch, and the interests are deeply tied."

After hearing this, Li Wanxiang pondered and said, "I wonder what this company means?"

"A company means an industry for everyone, similar to a shop or a workshop. Master Lin said this is a Western term," Li Xiongzhen explained.

"Oh, I understand, but I wonder how the profits will be distributed after establishing this company?" Li Wanxiang must make clear the distribution of profits when doing business.

"The distribution of interests must match the contribution of the industry. For example, if both parties jointly set up a construction company, your Li family will be responsible for organizing the construction, Zhenming Group can provide the project, and the county government will provide necessary protection. How much profit do you think you should share? Lin Feng asked.

"According to industry rules in this situation, the profit is generally split half way." Li Wanxiang replied.

"What about Zhenming Group providing some financial support?" Li Xiongzhen then asked.

"Then it's 60% to 40% or 70% to 30%. If the profit distribution ratio is too low, there will be no intention to cooperate." Li Wanxiang said his bottom line.

"Master Li, I propose that your Li family contribute 2000 taels of labor and 2000 taels of silver, and Zhenming Group also contribute taels of silver, and be responsible for providing the main business and security protection, to jointly establish a construction company, and the shares will be opened according to the rules of the Li family and Zhenming Group. Distribution, but the day-to-day management of the company will be handled by the Li family, and Zhenming Group will send personnel to supervise it, what do you think?" Lin Feng said.

"Master Li, this way you, the Li family, don't have to worry about project sources and safety issues. Although the profit distribution is smaller, there is basically no risk." Li Xiongzhen persuaded.

Li Wanxiang thought about it for a while and realized that he also intended to be in line with Lin Feng for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to introduce his daughter to Lin Feng last night. Even if this company does not make money, it is worth it as long as he can climb up to Lin Feng. This is called Investing in talent is more important.

So he made up his mind and said: "There is no problem with this cooperation. Our Li family will take 30% of the profits, but Zhenming Group cannot interfere with our normal operations."

"That's no problem. I want to cooperate with you because I believe in your Li family's ability to manage projects. As long as it is a normal operation, the group will not interfere, but the financial aspect still needs to be supervised." Li Xiongzhen replied.

"Okay, then I congratulate the two families on their happy cooperation! Mr. Li, you will definitely not regret it in the future." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Then what should the new company be called?" Li Wanxiang asked.

"Since the new company is run by your Li family, let's call it Li's Construction." Lin Feng has already considered it. In the future, only the core industries of the group, such as banks and chemicals, can be called Zhenming enterprises. Other non-core industries will mainly be called partnerships. People or customary names, so as not to attract too much attention.

Moreover, naming it this way will also help to divest non-core businesses in the future, and any company that is not developing well can be disposed of in a timely manner.

"Thank you so much, Lord County. I asked my daughter this morning and she still has a good impression of you. What do you think about this?" Li Wanxiang still felt that marriage was the safest, so he took the opportunity to raise the matter again.

Lin Feng originally thought that Miss Li Rushi was good, and now he needed the cooperation of the Li family, so he said: "I have no problem with this matter. We can make an agreement first. When the marriage contract in Taiyuan is fulfilled, I can't be tired of the old."

"Master Lin's character is really beyond words, so it's settled." Li Wanxiang hurriedly finalized it.

"Okay, then Uncle Li doesn't need to call me sir. Let's call him uncle and nephew for now." Lin Feng said.

"Thank you, nephew. I won't be polite in the future." Li Wanxiang felt that his heart was as clear as eating ginseng fruit. From now on, he can call him the county's distinguished nephew. This is not very dignified in Fugu County.

After Li Wanxiang left, Li Xiongzhen immediately came up to him and said, "There's a situation. Why don't you recruit me honestly? Did you go to hook up with the Li family's daughter last night?"

"Haha, the Li family intends to get married. Didn't I sacrifice myself heroically for our Zhenming Group?" Lin Feng said righteously.

"Bullshit, just have fun, let me do the hard work, pick up girls by yourself, introduce me to one quickly, otherwise I will go on strike." When Li Xiongzhen saw that his friend was going to be single, he immediately felt in danger feel.

"You don't know how to use your brain, and you still want me to introduce you." Lin Feng dismissed him immediately.
