Chapter 823 Contracting Supply and Marketing Cooperative

No one in the Zhou family had expected that Zhou Rong would abandon Cai Xiaoguang and her daughter Cai Pan'er and run to the distant land of France to find Feng Huacheng. You know, everyone in the Zhou family praised Cai Xiaoguang highly, but since things have developed to the point where they can't handle the situation now, the old couple Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua can only swallow their anger and blame others for their previous attitude towards Zhou Rong.

From then on, the name Zhou Rong became a taboo word in the Zhou family's life. Even the children were too lazy to mention this name, as if it had never appeared in their lives, because everyone still had to go on with their own lives, and it was boring to always think about this disgusting thing every day.

"Brother Xiaoguang, please tell Zhou Rong a message next time you see her. I hope she and Feng Huacheng will never appear in front of the Zhou family again. Otherwise, I will make them live a life worse than death. I believe they should know that I have the ability to do so." Suning knew that Cai Xiaoguang, the bootlicker, was terminally ill. He believed that Cai Xiaoguang would never really cut off contact with Zhou Rong, and then looked at Cai Xiaoguang with a stern face and said warningly.

"Ah" As expected, Cai Xiaoguang looked at his brother-in-law in front of him in surprise. This sentence was also a warning to himself to have less contact with Zhou Rong.

"Also, don't tell them about Feng Yue. I've already changed her name to Zhou Qian, and I've already told the Beijing Welfare Institute to announce that Feng Yue was adopted by a foreign couple."

"Bingkun, do you want Feng Yue and Zhou Rong to sever their relationship?" Cai Xiaoguang easily understood Suning's intention and couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"Yes! From now on, there will be no Feng Yue in this world. There will only be my daughter Zhou Qian, Zhou Bingkun." Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng are both extremely selfish egoists, but letting an innocent child bear their sins is the biggest original sin of Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng.

"Okay! Zhou Rong is indeed not worthy of being a mother." At this time, Cai Xiaoguang nodded with emotion, feeling that Zhou Rong's behavior was too puzzling.

"Brother Xiaoguang, the most useless thing in the world is a 'dog licker'. I believe you can understand what I mean." Then Su Ning suddenly stared at Cai Xiaoguang's eyes meaningfully and said, always feeling that Cai Xiaoguang might continue to be Zhou Rong's "dog licker".

"what"

Although Suning did not think that his arrangement was particularly brilliant, it was a warning to Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng, the couple. It was also a warning to his sensitive niece Feng Yue, warning Feng Yue that the Zhou family did not want her to have any contact with her biological parents again. He believed that the sensitive Feng Yue would understand this meaning.

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua both supported Suning's decision. It would be better to directly acknowledge Feng Yue as their Zhou family's granddaughter. After dealing with the affairs of his niece Feng Yue (Zhou Qian), Suning quickly put the affairs of Zhou Rong and others behind him, because Suning is too busy now and has a lot of work to deal with every day.

Since Feng Yue changed her name to Zhou Qian and entered the Zhou family, she gradually let down her guard. In addition, Zheng Juan was always kind and gentle, so Feng Yue (Zhou Qian) soon regarded Su Ning and Zheng Juan as her parents. At this time, the eldest child of the Zhou family, Zhou Ren, was already fifteen years old. He was educated very well by Su Ning and Zheng Juan. He also tried his best to love this sister who suddenly appeared. The life of the Zhou family was so plain and happy.

Time flies like running water, rushing into the sea without looking back, so it was soon the year 1989. The Russians had bad luck in that year. The Afghan War, which they had persisted for ten years, finally ended in disgrace. At this time, the Russians retreated like a wild dog with broken limbs.

The old Russian in the original time and space had only three years to live, so the old Russian who was already terminally ill at this time had also let go of many things, and was ready to let go of the things that he couldn't understand before. Then the old Russian's boss Gorbachev personally called Suning and invited Suning to go to Moscow for another business inspection. Suning knew that the desperate Gorbachev wanted to sell the industry again, and Suning was naturally ecstatic and ready to set off for Moscow, determined to take over the Antonov Aircraft Design Bureau and manufacturing plant that he was optimistic about.

But just as Suning was about to lead a delegation to Moscow, he suddenly received an invitation from Hao Dongmei's father in Beijing, also wanting to invite Suning to visit the mainland market. "Mr. Zhou, Beijing sincerely invites you to visit the mainland market on behalf of Ningyuan Group. We are willing to deepen the mutually beneficial cooperation with your company."

"Huh? Mr. Hao, this is really unfortunate. I am about to go to Moscow on a business trip and may not be able to come back this year." Suning explained on the phone in some surprise. He didn't expect that the thing he was most looking forward to would also conflict with his expectations.

"Ah? Your company has another big project in Moscow?" Hao Dongmei's father nodded on the phone and immediately guessed something in shock.

"Yes! Since we are all family, I will tell you straight. Our Ningyuan Group has always wanted to acquire the Antonov Aircraft Design Bureau and Manufacturing Plant. Recently, the Russians have finally started to relent." Thinking that the mainland market will also be a major customer for the transport aircraft manufactured by himself in the future, Suning explained with a smile without hiding anything. Of course, he did not think that the mainland would compete with him for Antonov at this time.

"What? You are going to enter the transport aircraft industry again?" At this time, Hao Dongmei's father was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue. After the transformation of the Tupolev series of passenger aircraft by Ningyuan Group, it immediately and quickly entered the international civil aircraft market and has become a civil aircraft manufacturing company that competes with Boeing.

"Yes! This is a big piece of cake, and our Ningyuan Group certainly doesn't want to miss it."

"Mr. Zhou, could you come to Beijing before you go to Moscow?" Hao Dongmei's father quickly covered his heart, struggled to regain his composure, and explained.

"Mr. Hao, how about having our Ningyuan Group's chairman, Suning, go to Beijing in person? That would make it seem more formal."

"Boss Zhou, hasn't your chairman, Suning, been in seclusion?"

"Haha, Mr. Hao, every business decision I make must be approved by the board of directors. Although our chairman has always claimed to be in seclusion and not involved in worldly affairs, he has never given up his absolute control over the company."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhou to negotiate."

"Mr. Hao, actually our Ningyuan Group has many projects that we want to discuss in depth with Beijing. I think other directors and shareholders of the company will also go there this time, so I hope that Mr. Hao can show real sincerity." Suning couldn't help but remind Hao Dongmei's father on the phone.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou! I feel like we have it all figured out this time." Hao Dongmei smiled indifferently. He thought Ningyuan Group only wanted the mainland market.

The mainland market has not been very prosperous in the past two years. Due to the outbreak of "triangle debts" and the severe squeeze of large inventories, many mainland companies are facing the embarrassing situation of suspension of production and work. Workers are also enduring hard times, and large-scale infrastructure has been cut off to survive. Therefore, the mainland market is very eager to break through as soon as possible.

Suning, however, believed that this was the perfect time for Ningyuan Group. Ningyuan Group had already completed its global retail market layout, and its semiconductor industry technology was in short supply in the mainland market. It also possessed the advanced technology and funds that the mainland market desperately needed, so they believed this time they would achieve a successful cooperation. Just as Suning boarded a special plane to fly to Moscow, Ningyuan Group's chairman, Suning, and second-largest shareholder, Chen Jianghe, led the entire board of directors on another special plane to Beijing. It was a super-luxurious and massive business lineup, and such a large-scale move immediately attracted the attention of the outside world. People speculated that the Ningyuan Group, which had been dormant for four years, was about to make another big move, and they couldn't help but focus all their attention on Moscow and Beijing.

In Moscow, Gorbachev certainly knew what Ningyuan Group wanted most, so he immediately took Suning to the Antonov Aircraft Design Bureau and Manufacturing Plant in Ermao. What followed was a protracted commercial acquisition negotiation. Suning also dispatched its biggest trump card, Olya's grandfather, and spent a huge amount of public relations funds to get through to the Russians. Finally, on Christmas Eve, both parties reached a consensus on cooperation.

"Mr. Zhou, your Ningyuan Group has bought a great treasure!" Gorbachev said to Suning with emotion. He couldn't say what consequences his actions would cause.

"Mr. Gorbachev, our Ningyuan Group has been in the Russian market for more than ten years. The Russians have great trust in our Ningyuan Group. If we hire aviation experts from the Antonov Design Bureau at high salaries, I believe we will be able to set up a new business in Hong Kong soon. However, our Ningyuan Group does not want to do such a thing. It is because of respect for the Russians that we are willing to spend more money and effort on acquisitions."

"Yes! Mr. Zhou, thank you for the respect from Ningyuan Group." Gorbachev certainly had full confidence in the capabilities of Ningyuan Group. This was also the reason why he was repeatedly willing to compromise with Ningyuan Group. The declining Russians did feel respected by Ningyuan Group.

"Mr. Gorbachev, among all the large companies in the world, only our Ningyuan Group is willing to enter the Russian market. Therefore, we are under tremendous pressure. We hope that you Russians can treat our Ningyuan Group well."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou is absolutely right! Your Ningyuan Group is our best Dawasili."

"Mr. Gorbachev, let's drink to our friendship!"

"Dawasili, cheers!"

Things were also progressing smoothly in Beijing. The AI robot "Suning" looked expressionlessly at Mr. Hao and said, "Mr. Hao, we've been trying to enter the mainland market since 1977 or 1978. Eleven years have passed this year. With the investment from our Ningyuan Group, Huaxia Electric has become well-known in both Chinese and international markets, and mainland products have entered the hands of consumers around the world. We have also trained a large number of high-tech talents in the automotive field. So I believe you should have seen our sincerity."

"Yes! Your Ningyuan Group is indeed a very sincere business partner, so now tell me your requirements." Hao Dongmei's father certainly saw the sincerity of the Ningyuan Group. They did not have the arrogance and defensiveness of other foreign-funded enterprises, and they were very straightforward when transferring technology.

"Mr. Hao, our Ningyuan Group has mastered all kinds of world-leading technologies. We can provide the mainland market with a full range of advanced technologies that bypass the Eight-Barrel Agreement, and we are willing to accept the mainland market to use RMB as the settlement method." The AI robot "Suning" did not directly state the request, but instead threw out a new olive branch.

"What? Mr. Su, are you serious?" At this time, Hao Dongmei's father couldn't help but be surprised, because the international embargo made it impossible for the mainland market to obtain advanced foreign production lines.

"Of course it's true! Our Ningyuan Group has always spared no effort in investing in technology. Coupled with years of hard work in markets around the world, we are fully capable of providing various advanced technologies to the mainland market."

"Can we use RMB for settlement?" Hao Dongmei's father certainly believed that Ningyuan Group had the ability to do so, but he felt incredible about using RMB as the settlement method, as this would avoid using the mainland market's most valuable foreign exchange reserves.

"Yes."

"Mr. Su, let's talk about the conditions of your Ningyuan Group." After being surprised, Hao Dongmei's father calmed down and believed that the conditions of Ningyuan Group must be very harsh.

"The mainland market needs to be opened to our Ningyuan Group, allowing it to invest in large mainland enterprises with its technology and capital. Ningyuan Group's shareholding ratio must be no less than 15%. In addition, our Ningyuan Group will not be responsible for the specific management of the invested enterprises. We will only send a supervisor to prevent improper behavior such as eating and drinking with public funds."

"This"

"Also, our Ningyuan Group is very interested in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the mainland market and wants to directly contract the entire supply and marketing cooperatives in the mainland market."

"What? This is impossible!" Hao Dongmei's father immediately refused with a rapid breath. The inland supply and marketing cooperatives are directly connected to the village and town level, and are directly related to the economic lifeline of the entire inland market and thousands of households.

"Mr. Hao, please don't rush to reject our request. Our Ningyuan Group has already completed the global retail layout except for the mainland market. Every year, we purchase a large number of mainland products and sell them all over the world. Our Ningyuan supermarkets are also the most popular among consumers in various countries. Therefore, our Ningyuan Group is professional in the retail field.

If our Ningyuan Group were to contract the entire supply and marketing cooperative system in the mainland, not only would it continue to provide a large number of jobs for the mainland market, it would also introduce the world's most advanced management and operation model. Furthermore, the country would not only receive high tax revenues, but also receive a substantial contract fee each year. This would be a mutually beneficial and beneficial outcome!"

"This is a serious matter! I need to report it as soon as possible." Hao Dongmei's father took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head. He felt that Ningyuan Group's investment vision was too tricky, so he explained to the AI robot "Suning" with a wry smile.

"Of course! We will wait patiently. Our Ningyuan Group always has the utmost sincerity towards the mainland market." The AI robot "Suning" smiled and nodded without any surprise. No one is as sincere as Ningyuan Group in investing in the mainland market.

"Thank you, Mr. Su and your company's board of directors, for your understanding! We will definitely reply to you as soon as possible." Hao Dongmei's father quickly regained his composure, then smiled and nodded at the "Suning" in front of him.

"Mr. Hao, with the gradual opening up of the mainland market, the supply and marketing cooperative system will inevitably be abolished. So why not take advantage of the fact that the supply and marketing cooperative is still at its peak and directly contract it to our Ningyuan Group? It's better than becoming worthless when it faces abolition."
