"Alright, even if this is a pitfall, I have to go and see."
"Boss Zhang will probably be slandering me behind my back."
"Taking shares but not doing any work, that's not good for my reputation."
Yu Zhou stood up with a smile. In fact, Yu Zhou wasn't too concerned about the matter of the Second Textile Factory.
For him, it would actually be the best option to not get involved at all.
After all, once one gets involved in such matters, it's often difficult to withdraw.
Even his business partner, Boss Zhang, would likely become increasingly reliant on him later.
After all, the current [Three Horses] company is not just in the district, but even in the city, it can absolutely be considered a truly renowned enterprise.
Just this much, which he accomplished in half a year, is already terrifying, isn't it?
Keep in mind, previously renowned enterprises were like Tailong Light Industry, a key, even pillar enterprise in the city. But a small dried fruit factory, developed to this extent by Yu Zhou, is indeed somewhat frightening.
Of course, Yu Zhou is now also an object of envy in the city.
Someone who was originally just a laid-off worker, in half a year, became the owner of a company worth tens of millions, and even now, he still has at least more than half of the company's shares.
This kind of report card, no matter who it's given to, is absolutely satisfactory.
Take Qin Siyue, for example. She is Yu Zhou's business partner, so even though many things should already make her happy, she still unconditionally supports Yu Zhou at this time.
If Yu Zhou didn't have such strength and ability, no matter how good Qin Siyue's relationship with Yu Zhou was, would she have continued to support him like this, without any reason?
Do you know that Qin Siyue's status in the Zong family has also risen steadily? Why? It's because her small investment has yielded such good results today.
It is important to know that, up to now, Qin Siyue has almost no interference in the dried fruit factory or the [Three Horses] company. And this non-interference has led to Yu Zhou having the final say in almost the entire factory.
Everyone knows that the [Three Horses] company has another shareholder, and this shareholder's shares are very high, but not many people know who this other shareholder is.
They only know that this person rarely comes to the company and has a certain relationship with Qin Feng.
In the evening, Yu Zhou followed Tang Long to the Yangtze River Hotel, where they often gathered or dined.
This is already the most high-end hotel in Jiangbei. Zhang Guodong, who is in the clothing business, immediately got up to greet him. His enthusiastic attitude was even more important than that for a previous partner.
In fact, Zhang Guodong's heart was somewhat complicated.
After all, when he met Yu Zhou, or when they first started cooperating, Yu Zhou was just a small dried fruit factory manager. He might have had some status and strength, but compared to a big boss like himself whose assets already exceeded ten million, he was somewhat lacking.
At that time, the reason he cooperated with Yu Zhou was mainly because of Yu Zhou's reputation in Jiangbei. This was a tough guy. Coupled with securing the advertising slots on television, he felt that if he could take over the Second Textile Factory, it might be beneficial for himself and for his subsequent cooperation with Yu Zhou.
After all, the fact that Yu Zhou was a laid-off worker from the Second Textile Factory was undeniable.
Even if he was only doing something for his reputation, he would still have to maintain it at times.
But how could she have imagined that Yu Zhou could achieve this in just half a year?
A melon seed and dried fruit factory with no prior reputation, in just half a year, surpassed his clothing business, and not by a small margin.
With such means and such business acumen, even he, if you say he wasn't envious at all, that would be impossible.
After all, when doing business, once you reach his level, the desire to grow bigger and bigger is no longer as strong. What they look at is the strength of the company, the development of the entire company, and so on.
And Yu Zhou, this is undoubtedly surpassing him, and he would have to curry favor with him to some extent.
"Mr. Yu, I know you're busy, so unless it's a very important matter, I wouldn't want to disturb you."
"But this time, it's not just to thank you, but more importantly, there's something I need your help with. If you don't object, please do me this favor!"
Immediately, Zhang Dongliang, after sitting down, got straight to the point.
In fact, if neither he nor Yu Zhou had anything to do, neither of them would have the time to invite someone out alone just for a meal.
Yu Zhou had already understood before he came that if the other party invited him to dinner, there must be something they needed his help with.
However, before Zhang Dongliang could say it, no matter how much Yu Zhou thought, it would not be easy to know the other party's intentions.
"Ask me for help? But I know absolutely nothing about managing clothing!"
Yu Zhou, who had just sat down, was somewhat surprised. According to reason, if Zhang Dongliang was asking him for other matters, he wouldn't be in a hurry, and he might even be able to help.
But judging by the current situation, it was clearly about the clothing factory that he wanted to find him for.
He knew absolutely nothing about clothing and could not help at all.
Not only that, because he had shares in the Second Textile Factory and had a reputation, this person should have strongly prevented him from getting involved in these matters of the Second Textile Factory, shouldn't he?
Why is he actively coming to him now? Could it be that he wants him to be the bad guy and push for the reform of the Second Textile Factory? If that's the case, Yu Zhou would really have no way to refuse.
After all, it was he who approached the other party and asked for help in taking over the mess of the Second Textile Factory.
Under such circumstances, if things are difficult to handle, and the other party comes to him, it would be a matter of course.
He didn't mind being the bad guy, but sometimes, he couldn't ignore old relationships and be an impartial person.
No matter what you do, it's essentially an interaction between people. Even if Yu Zhou truly wanted to be ruthless, he would still need to have the conditions to implement it.
"Actually, to be honest, I'm asking you for help, but the person I want help from is not you, but someone else."
Zhang Dongliang didn't play coy at this time, but as soon as he said this, Yu Zhou became confused again.
Not asking me? Then who are you asking?
