119: Chapter 119: That Settles It 119: Chapter 119: That Settles It “You’re planning to be a hands-off owner, huh.” Zhao Guang spread his hands: “What can I do, I have my own pile of things to take care of. My own company is also being watched over by my sister.” Li Fugui was left speechless by Zhao Guang’s attitude. After pondering for a moment, Li Fugui said, “If that’s the case, count me in on this.” “You? Are you also going to resign? The banking job is pretty good, right? Besides, even if you’re going to resign, you should wait until we’ve set everything up before doing so. Would your family agree to it now?” Li Fugui’s family all worked in banks, and they had always wanted him to take over. If he resigned now, his family would surely be up in arms. “Who said I’m resigning? I’m going to work at the bank in Gui Province.” “Do you have that much clout, to go wherever you want?” Zhao Guang and Liu Jiayin looked at him, very surprised. Li Fugui also spread his hands: “There’s nothing else I can do, the bank is inundated with staff lately. You know how it is, over in the bustling metropolis, everyone with connections is pushing their people in. But in other places, banks might not have as many people. With the recent banking adjustments, they’re moving some people to other locations, and if I apply on my own, I can pick anywhere I want.” Before the other two could say anything, Li Fugui spoke again: “If you achieve good results locally, it’s much easier to climb up the ranks later or to be transferred somewhere else.” “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you achieve good results,” Zhao Guang nodded. It was his own matter, but his two brothers were going all out to help, how could he let them down? “Thanks a lot for the trouble you’ve gone through for me,” Liu Jiayin said, feeling moved, as he raised his cup to the two. Zhao Guang was a bit puzzled; wasn’t this his own matter? Why did it become Liu Jiayin’s? Ah, it’s about developing his hometown; no problem then. “It’s not just about me; this is a great opportunity for me, too. Being able to lead a whole province forward is very beneficial for my future development.” Li Fugui continued: “Besides, with a bank backing you, many things become easier to coordinate. Like local relationships and land issues, liaising with local governments, road construction issues, and various other matters.” Suddenly, Li Fugui had an idea: “Right, you should deposit your money into our bank, and then take out a loan.” “Is that really necessary? Taking a loan with my own money and then paying interest on it,” Zhao Guang was puzzled. Li Fugui looked at him as if he were a fool: “Do you think you’re the only one doing that? Sure, depositing and then paying interest might seem foolish, but the bank has a lot of resources that you can’t just buy with money.” “Besides, if you don’t do this, the bank would still help you because of your Gold connection, but being proactive and passive are two different things.” Liu Jiayin also said, “We should do as Fu Gui suggests. He knows about this much better. And it benefits Fu Gui too.” Right, the biggest achievements for a bank are attracting deposits and extending loans. By transferring his own money like this, Li Fugui would boost both achievements on his end. Zhao Guang finally understood these matters; if so, then it seemed to be a win-win-win situation. Plus, if this endeavor was done right, it could be profitable in the future. To put it another way, as long as the initial investment was made properly, it would be impossible not to make a profit once it scaled up. “I understand now, let’s do it that way. However, the amount I deposit might keep growing.” “Don’t worry, since when has a bank ever been afraid of too many deposits? Just deposit with confidence. Even if it’s too much and doesn’t get used, it can later be transferred to other banks to help our fellow units. It’s a good deed.” With that settled, Zhao Guang was completely reassured. “Since it’s decided, let’s settle the matter. Now let’s discuss the details.” As they talked, Zhao Guang suddenly said, “Right, I plan to go all in, to cover everything. Besides storefronts and breeding, we need to perfect the cold chain logistics, and in the future, we may even delve into some cultivation, but that’s a matter of technology.” “Leave the technology to me, that’s what our bank does, handling those intricate affairs. Forget just technology, anything you need, like various breeds, pigs, even technical experts, I can arrange for you,” Li Fugui reassured him. The bank’s network was vast, beyond what Zhao Guang had imagined. Having not been involved with these matters before, Zhao Guang had been clueless, but now he was beginning to understand. So, the gold he had brought back, was it too little? If he had brought back more, he should also have more say, right? Never mind, let’s first build Golden Body; otherwise, there would really be trouble. Once they settled the matter, the discussions among the three grew even more enthusiastic, and the atmosphere felt like being back in their school days. “Speaking of which, are you just going to raise pigs, and not diversify into other things?” “Other things? If there’s the technology, it’s definitely worth a try, I’m not afraid of taking losses.” At that moment, Zhao Guang was also somewhat hazy, his physique improved, but sometimes the atmosphere could be more intoxicating than liquor. “We could try raising chicken. Also, bullfrogs. Yu City’s hotpot is famous, and recently, bullfrog hotpot has become very popular,” Liu Jiayin contributed his idea as well. “That’s a really good idea, but you’re the boss, so it’s up to you.” “There are so many industries; I can handle them initially on my own, but later, I won’t be able to manage them all by myself. You’ll need to make sure to find people to help.” “No need, you should just create a group and then open subsidiaries. Just hire people yourself,” Li Fugui suggested. “You’re not afraid of being undermined by delegating this much power?” Liu Jiayin had never seen such a person, and wondered how Zhao Guang had gotten so out of tune since the last time they met. “No worries, after all, I’m the chairman. As long as the income is right, it’s all good.” At that moment, Li Fugui said, “Don’t worry, this sort of industry touches upon people’s livelihoods. When it’s small scale, you need to manage it yourself, but once it grows, the state will certainly step in and regulate. It won’t be a problem.” Li Fugui continued, “Besides, what the government likes the most are those like you who don’t like to meddle too much.” “Then that’s perfect, it really suits me best,” Zhao Guang gave a thumbs up. “I think we’ve drunk enough. If we keep going at this rate, we might end up out cold. No one will look after us then, so let’s head back. From today on, we’ve got a lot on our plate.” Hearing Li Fugui’s words, Zhao Guang began to sober up. He was all right, but the other two might not be. Seeing how excited Liu Jiayin was, if they let him continue, he might need to go to the hospital.
