My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 479: Chapter 480 Girlfriend (4)

Lu Weixi had work to do, and so did Qin Zhiyou. After climbing the stairs, they both went their separate ways; she returned to her room while he headed to the study.

Although Qin Zhiyou had managed to suppress the second and third families and disobedient board members at the last board meeting, he was well aware his advantage merely lay in his control over the resources in the demonstration zone, giving him an upper hand. Once his advantage ceased to exist, these people would pounce like wolves on a bone, ready to devour him.

Mayhap, the charm of a national-level demonstration zone was too tempting that even those directors, who usually never conspired against him, were starting to plan. There were also people, like bees to honey, swarming to cooperate with him, but their motives were hard to decipher.

While many were eager to collaborate, the bank loans were not as forthcoming. If all the money was diverted towards the demonstration zone project, it would inevitably impact Hanhai’s other businesses. Hence, he still needed to find reliable partners for collaboration.

Several prospects had been explored so far, including President Tian from the Southern Gang, President Li who had worked several times with Hanhai before, and the latest one – the domestic steel industry leader who had purchased mineral resources in Australia and Southeast Asia. Purely interested in cooperation, they were affluent. There were also other familiar faces like Yu Sixing and He Weiyou.

However, the project would take time. From the inception, commencement and final completion of the demonstration zone project, not to mention the subsequent maintenance and construction of related ancillary measures, who knew how long it would take? It could take three to five years, or even ten to twenty years.

“Director Qin, should I investigate these companies interested in cooperation?”

“No need,” Qin Zhiyou replied casually. “Just follow the regular procedures.”

“But there could be many companies among them that are unfriendly with us, as well as companies that might trip us up. If we cooperate with them and fatten them up, and they turn against us in the future, what should we do?”

Secretary Wang was fretting like a panicked eunuch, while Qin Zhiyou appeared indifferent. In all the past collaborations, Qin Zhiyou had chosen partners who had no conflicts of interest with him. But this time, things were different.

Without moving an eyebrow, Qin Zhiyou responded calmly, “Because it’s unnecessary.”

Previously, he cared too much about whether the other party was on his side. In reality, as long as he was in control and leading the entire project, it would be okay as long as the other party didn’t cause trouble during the collaboration.

He focused solely on making money and the project; what did it matter to him if the other parties grew stronger?

Having a few more enemies was of no concern, there were always others. Throughout history, how many mature companies were brought down by adversaries? Ultimately, it was because they couldn’t keep pace with their development. Instead of constantly scheming with these underhand people, he would rather think about how to expand Hanhai.

“Alright, I got it,” Secretary Wang nodded. But even when Qin Zhiyou advised not to worry too much, he couldn’t help but do the opposite. With countless previous incidents, it was always him who ended up in trouble. He had to scrutinize these potential partners, get to know their ins and outs.

He sought nothing else but to be scolded one less time by Qin Zhiyou when his temper flared up.

With his work matters tidily arranged, Qin Zhiyou took a sip of tea, stretched lazily, and left the study for the bedroom.
