Back to the prime of life

Chapter 126 Champion
The exchanges during the New Year and other holidays were normal and nothing to be proud of. Lu Changge was also familiar with this; it just took some time.

After the Chinese New Year, Wang Hongcheng was more concerned about the loan that Wu Yiming had promised him before, so he called Lu Changge early to see when he could find an opportunity to do this.

Lu Changge had no objection, he just waited for Wang Hongcheng to inform him of the time.

In fact, he is no longer of much use now, but everyone is in a "relationship". Without special reasons, they will not forget him at this moment. After all, once they enter this circle, they will most likely be together. It is hard to say who will use whom in the future.

But Lu Changge didn't need to ask too much about what conditions Wang Hongcheng and Wu Yiming could reach.

In a way, this guy is busier than me.

After returning to Jiangzhou, he immediately found Lu Changge and asked, "Could you please give me some advice on Mrs. Wu's side?"

Lu Changge asked: "What do you want to know?"

"The credit limit. She's the bank president, so she can't just say anything. But after going through all this, even if the credit limit is significantly different, it can still be changed. After all, it was discussed between you and her privately, so it doesn't count."

I didn't expect this guy to be so energetic.

"How much money do you want to borrow? You need to go through so much trouble."

Wang Hongcheng said, "I want 200 million. If that's not enough, at least 100 million. You saw the Jiangxing Commercial Plaza last year. It was a huge hit right after it opened, so we have to continue. But the Jiangzhou branch also has a residential project in the works."

Judging from his posture, he is working on two or three projects at the same time.

How does the saying go? I'm not afraid of anything except the rich second generation starting their own business.

Especially considering that there will be a financial crisis in the second half of this year.

This immediately made Lu Changge feel that the problem was serious, but he also knew that he could not persuade her, so he just asked, "You are aware of the huge leverage you have now, right?"

Wang Hongcheng remained relaxed. "I know. But since you haven't worked in real estate, you might not know this. Our domestic real estate game is no longer just about making money by selling houses. The various links involved make it difficult to stop. Only by continuously rolling in funds can we use them efficiently."

"I hope you really know. I'll call Wu Yiming's wife tomorrow. A friend of mine wants to buy a car, so I'll check with her."

This was a reason to open the topic, and Wang Hongcheng nodded in agreement.

"How's your swimming pool?"

"Under renovation."

At the end of last year, he decided to purchase foreign brand equipment, and he asked Ji Shi to do this.

Ji Shi gave him an agent for a foreign brand in China. Lu Changge has already contacted this person. After all, it is the 21st century now, and many business services are very in place.

For example, when purchasing this type of equipment, they provide a one-stop worry-free service, which not only includes a full set of equipment but also on-site installation.

As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want.

"Li Shanfeng also came to see me once after the Chinese New Year, and this time he didn't complain about you anymore," said Wang Hongcheng.

Lu Changge said, "This is not a good thing. Not complaining means I'm making money, and it's my money."

"Haha, Xiaojie, don't mind it. With that woman you found around, how many tricks can he come up with?"

What Wang Hongcheng said was consistent with his status as he was about to lose some of his family fortune, and the startups of these rich second-generations also looked glamorous on the surface.

The more I came into contact with it, the more I realized that something was not quite right.

For example, he usually had something to do when he saw Lu Changge, but not always. Sometimes, he just wanted to chat with him, and since he had no other plans for the evening and was a bit bored, he would ask him to go to a karaoke bar or a club. Lu Changge went there quite a lot, but he wasn't that kind of person. His goal was to expand his social circle and get more business for his swimming pool opening.

It’s different from Wang Hongcheng.

Well, that's right.

But today, Lu Changge couldn't agree to him because he had other plans.

He wanted to find Li Fuchun from the Sports Bureau.

He made an appointment at a teahouse, where he had a private room which was quite private.

Now the meeting is not just to give some gifts, he has serious business.

Li Fuchun also came as promised. With Xu Weiguo's help, his relationship with Lu Changge is getting closer and closer, so there is no such thing as not being able to make an appointment.

After they sat down, Lu Changge poured him some tea. Naturally, there were some pleasantries. After that, he got to the point and asked, "Director Li, my swimming pool will definitely open before this summer. Could you help me ask if anyone has connections to the national swimming team? I know the city might not have direct access, but what about the provincial level?"

Our country has a system of departmental management. For example, the Sports Bureau must accept the leadership of both the local government and the higher-level department in the same line.

In specific business work, personnel in the city will have direct contact with those in the province. Similarly, relevant staff in the province will also have direct contact with directors or directors of state agencies.

As long as you want to find it, you can find it.

Li Fuchun was also an experienced wizard. He knew what Lu Changge was up to the moment he heard it. "You want to find a national team member to endorse your gym?"

"You can endorse it or invite me here for a practical acting class."

Li Fuchun was shocked. "You still want to invite people here? Have you ever seen a team member accept such an invitation from a commercial swimming pool?"

Lu Changge just said this, knowing it was difficult, but it was not illegal to say it.

"Then make a poster."

"You'll need to seek help from someone else. I'm just a small-time section-level cadre, and I'm about to retire, so I can't reach that level. But I do know a little bit about the rules. Things like this require approval from the Swimming Sports Administration Center, and active athletes can't take them on without approval. And this matter is a bit sensitive."

"How do you say sensitive?"

"This year's Olympics are being held right here in our city, and everyone from leaders at all levels to the athletes themselves is under tremendous pressure. They probably don't want any commercial activities affecting their training right before the Olympics. Otherwise, if the results aren't good, and this is brought up later, who's to blame?"

What Li Fuchun said was particularly true, so Lu Changge believed that what he said was true.

But he really wanted to make it happen.

Because he remembered that the women's swimming team won the gold medal this year,

The 08 Olympics were held at home, and the nation's enthusiasm for sports reached an unprecedented level. All summer long, all the news was devoted to the Olympics. The song "Beijing Welcomes You" played relentlessly on every TV station for the better part of six months.

Many people were so engrossed in the Olympic news that they didn't even notice the war between Russia and Georgia, a war fought in peacetime involving major countries in the world.

So while there is still time, he always wants to give it a try. If he fails, it means he is not capable enough. But if he just sits there and does nothing, isn't that stupid?

There was no other way, so he finally turned back to Wang Hongcheng. His family started in the provincial capital, so they should have connections in the province. If he looked for them directly in the province, there might still be a chance.
