Seeing that his elder brother had no clue, Yu Zhou felt truly speechless.
According to his thoughts, his elder brother should have achieved some success in economics.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been transferred from a remote small town to a larger county to be in charge of investment promotion by his superiors.
Perhaps there was some influence from within the family in this matter, but Yu Zhou would definitely not agree that his brother had no capabilities of his own.
He knew exactly what his elder brother's abilities were, and under such circumstances, even a slight waver could lead to unpredictable outcomes.
Sometimes, struggles in officialdom were even more brutal than those in business. In such a situation, even if Yu Zhou wanted to help, it might not be successful.
Of course, Yu Zhou currently believed that his elder brother still possessed considerable skills and capabilities.
To the extent that he couldn't quite understand why, knowing that he was busy with many things, his brother still wanted to introduce him to this matter in the Hekou District.
Was it simply because he saw the huge potential profits involved that he wanted to introduce it to him? This didn't fit Yu Huai's logic at all.
"You think I'm incapable of doing this kind of thing?"
It was obvious that Yu Huai also understood Yu Zhou's thoughts.
In his mind, a steady and firm approach was the best strategy.
According to his design, Yu Zhou would absolutely not be the type to do one thing then another in a scattered manner.
Because once he did, the consequences would be beyond their imagination, as no one had the energy to manage several companies at once.
And now, [Three Horses] had already opened three branch factories. Even if the number of employees had not yet reached over three thousand, it was close enough, wasn't it?
For such a massive enterprise, it was hard to imagine what the outcome would be if they were to add a factory that they were not familiar with.
Moreover, once such a practice became a norm, it would be impossible to change it.
Would Yu Zhou truly focus on these things under such circumstances?
It seemed unlikely, but neither Yu Huai nor anyone else felt that Yu Zhou could always remain rational.
"It's not that I think you won't do it, but I can't understand how, with your naturally conservative personality, you wouldn't have thought of these things."
Yu Zhou didn't need to hide anything from his own elder brother.
He immediately expressed the doubts in his heart.
He knew very well that his elder brother would never harm him.
But if he didn't even ask about this kind of doubt, he would feel uneasy and unable to wholeheartedly pursue what he wanted to do.
Perhaps, because of this, after careful consideration, Yu Zhou still felt that his energy could not cope with two companies developing at high speed.
It was only because his elder brother recommended it and the potential profits were considerable that Yu Zhou might have considered taking on this matter.
"The reason is very simple: the Hekou District is about to undergo great development."
"This is a major decision from the provincial level, and even higher."
"Under such a decision, even if it's just to maintain good relations with them, losing a few million would be worth it."
"Of course, if you feel that doing this is meaningless, you can also refuse."
"After all, no one would fault you for refusing this type of factory, and you would have legitimate reasons to do so."
Yu Huai said to Yu Zhou very clearly.
It was obvious that even he didn't think there would be any major issues in this situation.
Once a good cooperative relationship was established with the district government of this term, and some of their difficulties were resolved, what would be gained in the future would undoubtedly be far greater than what was given.
Even if they truly lost money in such a situation, and lost a lot, it wouldn't be unacceptable.
Because once the Hekou District gradually developed, even with this relationship, you could still make a fortune. And to compensate you, they would even arrange some profitable projects that ordinary people couldn't get.
This possibility might be incomprehensible to businessmen outside the system, but as someone within the system, Yu Huai knew very well that it was inevitable.
After all, even officials, especially the young and promising ones, cared about their reputation.
It was under these circumstances that he introduced Yu Zhou, not only earning favor for himself but also earning a huge favor for Yu Zhou.
"So that's how it is. It seems I really have no choice but to take over this factory this time."
A wry smile appeared on Yu Zhou's face. Even though he had already prepared to take it over, at this moment, he still felt a bit of pleasant surprise.
Did he not know that the future development of Hekou District would surpass the past? Of course, he knew. With the memories of his previous life, he could discern some things.
But he didn't know how important this development would be, or if there was any luck involved.
It was just that in his memory, Vice District Mayor Yu Sheng later gradually became a leader in Jiangbei City.
As for how much of his contribution was involved in this situation, Yu Zhou didn't know, but according to his elder brother, there was likely no shortage of credit.
This wasn't about flattering someone powerful, but a genuine win-win cooperation.
Not to mention that he genuinely intended to develop the electronics industry, and had even planned to replicate BBK and later strive to establish an entire industrial chain.
Even if he didn't have these ideas, he still had to take over this factory.
Because it represented the face of Hekou District, and it was also a huge opportunity.
"Are you really decided? But your current situation isn't exactly the best time."
"Although I recommended it, you don't have to consider my opinion, because my starting point and yours are completely different. You must understand this."
Upon seeing that Yu Zhou had made all preparations, and it seemed like he would sign the contract in a few days, Yu Huai immediately felt it was too hasty.
He was naturally a cautious person. If this kid made such a rash decision, it would be truly ridiculous if he didn't try to persuade him.
"You're really something. When I hesitated, you started persuading me not to. There was some inside story."
"Now that I'm not hesitating, you're the one hesitating. Is this how an elder brother acts?"
Hearing his words, Yu Zhou rolled his eyes at him.
Good heavens, so conflicted, he truly was his own elder brother.
