Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

"Deputy Director Zhou, this is the first time I have seen such a young official like you."

Ma Yun didn't mean this as a compliment. It was really rare for him to see someone become the deputy director of the Economic Development Zone at such a young age.

In recent years, he has had relatively frequent contacts with some local officials.

But this is really his first time for such a person.

Zhou Pengcheng smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, you're too polite. Let's get back to business..."

"Deputy Director Zhou, are you really optimistic about my project? Or..." Ma Yun was also a little unsure.

Because many local officials’ eyes light up when they hear about the investment.

But when you actually ask them to help you raise funds or do something else, they show a lack of interest.

Officials will go to great lengths to get promoted.

But if they take something out of their pockets, it will be different.

Therefore, it is not wrong for Ma Yun to think so.

Did he think Zhou Pengcheng wanted to pull him into the economic development zone, but he didn't want to pay too much?

Zhou Pengcheng smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Ma, I don't know about the others, but from my personal point of view, I am very optimistic about your project."

"Really? Deputy Director Zhou, in fact, I have traveled to Beijing, Ninghai and even Nanchuan and other places, and have communicated with officials from various places. When they talk about it, they are the same as you. Deputy Director Zhou will not say this. Are you angry?"

Ma Yun glanced at Zhou Pengcheng. His first instinct was that Zhou Pengcheng was no different from other officials!

Maybe they are all here for their own projects.

Zhou Pengcheng shook his head and said, "I'm not surprised at all that Mr. Ma has such an idea."

"Deputy Director Zhou, you also know the purpose of my coming here. In our industry, it is important to have ideas, but the most important thing is money."

Horse luck is also very straightforward. If you don't have money, everything else is out of the question.

Today is the most active period of reform and opening up.

But many people have many ideas but cannot realize them, and this is the reason.

Zhou Pengcheng nodded and said: "Of course, many entrepreneurs need support. In fact, most international investment companies are like this..."

"Actually, both international and domestic financing are very difficult. We previously raised US$5 million. But the money was spent very quickly..." Ma Yun sighed slightly.

"Five million US dollars sounds like a lot, but considering Mr. Ma's situation, it is indeed a little less." Zhou Pengcheng said with a smile.

"Deputy Director Zhou, since we are talking about this, I think it is better to open the skylight and speak frankly. Otherwise, I think it is a waste of time for you and me to sit here..."

Ma Yun said this because he is used to seeing too many people who are vain and conciliatory.

In this case, he didn't want to waste too much time.

Zhou Pengcheng smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, I also like cheerful people. Tell me, I'll listen..."

"Deputy Director Zhou, I wonder if the government can inject capital into us?"

When Ma Yun said it, he felt a little guilty. It takes a lot of courage for the government to inject capital.

You even have to take a lot of risks!

Ordinary officials, who would be willing?

"Let's not talk about government capital injection for now..."

Zhou Pengcheng looked at Ma Yun and said slowly. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Ma Yun's eyes suddenly showed a look of despair!
