Twenty years of cold chain

Just as Hu Yuntong was trying his best to persuade Guan Xiaoman, his phone suddenly rang. After answering, he asked helplessly, "Why are you in Yuncheng again?"

"Why go to a hotel? That's too much trouble. Just come to the park and we can talk directly."

After talking for a while, Hu Yuntong scratched his head and hung up the phone.

Guan Xiaoman narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Is it Liang Lu?"

Hu Yuntong nodded and said, "What's wrong with this kid? He's not busy with his own things and keeps running here every month."

"What does he want from you this time?"

"I don't know yet, they're being all mysterious and telling me to go to the city to talk."

"I'll go with you. No matter what we talk about, Tongxing in the southern suburbs is inseparable, and I'll get a share of it."

"Need not,

You're almost ready to hand over your work, why are you getting involved in this? Save your breath.

The effort should be put into the flower garden.

Guan Xiaoman met Liang Lu several times.

At this moment, Hu Yuntong, who was going alone, seemed a little uneasy. He said without any pretense, "I don't like Liang Lu at all. He's only in his twenties and he's already so greasy. He acts like he's in his forties. His momentum this year is even better than last year. You can't hold him back even if you tie two weights to him! No matter what you talk about, don't agree to anything he says easily. When you come back, you have to tell me everything."

Hu Yuntong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Fengliang Cold Chain, owned by Liang Lu, has been gaining momentum in the past two years. Its scale and size are naturally incomparable to those of Nanjiao, but in the field of fruit cold chain, even those who don't know Nanjiao will definitely know Fengliang Cold Chain.

From the county level to the city level and then to the provincial level, from special funds for direct farm-to-supermarket connections to subsidies for the "Double Hundred Markets" program and grants to expand domestic demand, all have benefited from the policy dividends.

Every time Liang Lu came to Yuncheng, he would meet Hu Yuntong in the industrial park. This was the first time they had arranged to meet in the city. But the grandeur of the meeting left him somewhat dumbfounded.

In a huge private room at the best hotel in Yuncheng, a whole row of staff stood, each carrying a covered tray. The room was filled with the fragrance of perfume, like flowers overflowing and settling on the carpet; each step forward released an even stronger aroma.

Liang Lu's appearance has also changed a lot. He is wearing a very eye-catching watch with a dark blue surface. His hair and face are carefully styled, and he looks radiant and bright.

Seeing Hu Yuntong's surprise, Liang Lu didn't care at all. He quickly got up and stepped forward, grabbing Hu Yuntong's wrist with one hand and stroking his arm with the other, laughing as he pressed Hu Yuntong into the chair.

"Liang Lu, get to the point. What are you doing all this for?"

"Brother Yuntong,

Others are another matter.

You can't let things go wrong here.

I've known you since my freshman year of college, and I haven't treated you to a single meal yet.

"I can't afford this feast."

As they were talking, Liang Lu opened the wine, and then the dishes were placed on the table. Each dish looked as if it had been carefully carved. Paired with the wine, which probably cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, Hu Yuntong felt as if he were visiting the city for the first time.

A moment later, Liang Lu dismissed everyone, first clinking glasses in a toast, then downing a glass in one gulp. Hu Yuntong, filled with hesitation, took a sip and put down his glass.

What followed was a series of vivid memories, each one deeply etched in my mind. Looking back, it was a story of perseverance and shared experiences; looking ahead, it was a vision of boundless prosperity.

In this setting of just the two of them, the conversation led Hu Yuntong to reminisce about the past. He remembered how, back then, the two of them, living next to each other by only a wall, talked about things just as much as roommates. But after graduation, they had never had any private conversations. Business, prospects, shipping, and delivery were the things they talked about.

As the past resurfaced, it danced like a moth. Before he knew it, Hu Yuntong's eyes were flushed red, and he had already drunk less than half a jin of baijiu.

Just then, Liang Lu casually took out a map, leaned closer to Hu Yuntong, and tapped a point on the map with his finger like a wooden fish. "Brother Yuntong, what do you think of the prospects of this land?"

Hu Yuntong examined it carefully, and soon his eyes lit up. "For logistics, this is a treasure trove!"

Having cooperated with the southern suburbs for many years, Hu Yuntong naturally knew the layout of Mingyuan City. As early as 01, when Hu Shutong was working on the southern suburbs plan, people had already realized Mingyuan's southward expansion strategy. Now, nearly ten years later, Mingyuan has a mature southern city.

Given this trend of development, the once-prestigious southern suburbs will inevitably be surrounded by real estate development sooner or later. If Minghe were to choose to develop logistics now, it certainly wouldn't choose this piece of land in the southern suburbs. The larger the cold chain industrial park, the more it needs to be "out of the city and on a vital artery," and that artery is transportation.

The place Liang Lu was referring to is further south than the southern suburbs, but with the development of the transportation network and the opening of the larger ring road, it takes even longer to get to the city center than the southern suburbs because the journey is much smoother. Going further out, the situation is even better; the highways are of a different standard than before, and the green channels are incomparable.

This reminded Hu Yuntong of Tongxing's location. This location is no less advantageous than Tongxing's. Even if his brother saw it, he would definitely praise it highly, because it would be a real pity not to do logistics in such a place.

"Brother Yuntong, with just Tongze County, Fengliang will never be able to make a significant impact. You know, I've already made a name for myself, and the higher-ups value my industrial park highly. But given Fengliang's current capabilities and its ability to manage and supply the fruit sector, it deserves a much larger area to unleash its full potential!"

"You can tell me what you want from me now."

Liang Lu slowly filled their glasses, exhaled a strong breath of alcohol, and said, "Brother Yuntong, I want to fight for this land, but what can we use to fight for it? We can only do our job well, regardless of whether it can impress people or not, that is our only skill."

"Specifically?"

"I need qualifications, I need to inspire confidence, and I need to show people what kind of changes I will bring if I acquire this land. Although there is no business relationship between Fengliang and Yuncheng now, it will not hinder our future cooperation. So, Brother Yuntong, I would like to sign an agreement between us before submitting this report."

"It's not a big problem. Just give me some time. Right now, storage capacity in Yuncheng is tight, but it will be much better next year. Then we can discuss the fruit distribution agreement in detail."

At this point, Liang Lu shook his head. "Brother Yuntong, the agreement I want to sign is not for Fengliang in Tongze, but for Fengliang on this piece of land." As he spoke, Liang Lu's finger touched the map again.

Hu Yuntong frowned sharply. "How can we sign this? Let alone the industrial park, you don't even have land yet."

Liang Lu retorted, "The size of the plate determines the size of the meat; conversely, the size of the plate depends on the weight of the meat. Behind Yuncheng Transportation is Tongxing and Nanjiao, and behind Tongxing and Nanjiao are dozens of partner companies. Brother Yuntong, if I sign this agreement with Yuncheng, just think about what people will see?"

Hu Yuntong immediately became alert. "Liang Lu, your reverse approach is completely different! You can't use potential demand as a qualification; that's fraud!"

"How could it be fabricated? Yuncheng's needs are real, and Fengliang's business capabilities are real. We're just bringing our shared future to the forefront."

As he spoke, Liang Lu stood up, leaning on the back of Hu Yuntong's chair, and paced back and forth. "Brother Yuntong, you and I both know that such a huge opportunity in the cold chain industry is one in a million. As long as we stay committed to serving the people, we'll have a huge advantage!"

"That's precisely why we have a lot of room to maneuver. As long as we stay true to our principles and original aspirations, we'll be on a winning streak. Think about it: if Tongxing hadn't been involved in cold chain logistics, thousands of people would have already changed their business model, wouldn't they?"

I've loved cold chain logistics for twenty years.
