Twenty years of cold chain

When Liang Lu spoke from behind him, his voice sometimes coming into his left ear and sometimes into his right, Hu Yuntong felt a very uncomfortable sense of oppression. But if he turned around and looked up, he would lose even more in terms of presence.

In an instant, Hu Yuntong's opinion of Liang Lu completely changed; he suddenly realized that the marketplace was like a giant crucible.

Liang Lu had good aptitude and cultivated formidable skills in just two years. This wasn't too surprising to Hu Yuntong, but what was surprising was the somewhat sinister air about his speech and mannerisms, which made him very uneasy.

Returning to Liang Lu's earlier statement, it wasn't entirely subjective; in recent years, policies have consistently provided support for the cold chain industry.

Approval procedures were given special processing and streamlined as much as possible. Besides major national policies,

Furthermore, various local governments are continuously introducing support policies that will give special attention to agricultural and sideline product production and sales hubs that occupy advantageous geographical locations and have strong radiating influence.

As he said, if this land were used for cold chain industrial park development, its functionality alone would receive special consideration. Coupled with a scientific and meticulous plan and market channel layout, it would undoubtedly become an impressive report proposal. However, this is precisely where Liang Lu is stuck, because the description of the market channels always seems like empty promises; he needs a solid foundation that people can trust.

Fengliang Cold Chain aspires to be a soaring giant, but lacks the wings to fly. Among the cold chain resources Liang Lu has encountered, Tongxing is the most convincing. Establishing a connection with them would undoubtedly best address the vague aspects of the report.

Upon hearing this, Liang Lu immediately sat back down, his brows furrowing like a dark cloud. "Brother Yuntong,"

"How could you not be able to make decisions about Yuncheng? Everyone in the industry knows that President Hu has already delegated authority to you; it's all up to you to demonstrate your abilities. Besides, Fengliang isn't going to immediately sign an agreement with Yuncheng and finalize every single detail. You just need to nod, and I can add the relevant terms to the attachment. To put it bluntly, I just need a name right now, to fill in the market channels in the report. There's no substantial contract involved, so what are you worried about?"

Although he talked for a long time, Hu Yuntong was still worried. "Since there is no substantial operation, it won't hurt for me to talk to my brother. Besides, when it comes to making proposals and reports, my brother has done countless big projects. His help might make it easier for you to win the bid."

Hu Yuntong, who had drunk more than half a jin of baijiu, did not notice the sharp glint in Liang Lu's eyes at that moment. Suddenly, his triangular eyes perked up like a limp squid!

But in the blink of an eye, his expression returned to normal, and then he gave a bitter smile with a pleading tone, "My brother Yuntong,"

Of course I know about Mr. Hu's abilities.

But time doesn't allow it! The report has to be submitted in less than a week. If General Manager Hu gets involved, given his style, he'll at least spend a week inspecting my industrial park first. With his picky eye, it's questionable whether I even have the qualifications to cooperate with Yuncheng, let alone compete for this land!

Hu Yuntong was conflicted, which was true. Hu Shutong was different from them. That person had a strong academic style when doing things, especially infrastructure projects. He was not interested in any descriptions or packaging. He was someone who could deduce a lot just by looking at the data.

Seizing the opportunity during that brief moment of hesitation, Liang Lu spoke up again, "You see the potential of this land; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We all understand the immense scale of this industry. You know how much of a waste it would be if it were used to build a milk powder factory or a starch factory. Brother Yuntong, no signatures or stamps are needed. Just give me your nod, and I'll put in a few words about the distribution channels in Yuncheng. Let's get the land first. Is it really that difficult?"

As he spoke, Liang Lu appeared very angry, with the resentment of someone he had known for many years who wouldn't even need to lift a finger, yet was met with hesitation and obstruction just by a single word from him.

"I know that even a behemoth like the South Suburbs is nothing to you brothers, and you look down on my little Fengliang even more. But my park is also part of the cold chain industry, and I'm also doing things that connect the south and the north, combining and then separating. You shouldn't think it's worthless just because it's small!"

Unexpectedly, these somewhat humble words suddenly came, causing Hu Yuntong to wave his hands repeatedly, "Liang Lu, don't say such things. My brother's starting point is far inferior to yours, how could you think that way?"

"Brother Yuntong, speaking of the foundation, do you know where the Liang family's ability to manage everything for me from the very beginning came from? It's none other than President Hu's hard work in Lianghuzhuang back then! You know, back then, oranges could be piled up as high as the walls, and cherry pits were scattered on the road like pebbles! What President Hu did back then was to make our fruit more valuable. Now I'm doing the same thing as him. He made the fruit last longer, and I'm making the fruit go further! With this land as our base, isn't this what he wanted to see?"

Over the course of the meal, Hu Yuntong was overwhelmed by Liang Lu's various emotions. This sudden outburst of emotion left Hu Yuntong somewhat at a loss. He had only heard glimpses of the story of Lianghu Village, but upon hearing Liang Lu's earnest words, he realized it was a memory worth cherishing, and he even sensed a hint of inheritance in his words.

After a while, Hu Yuntong slowly spoke, "I can agree to the matter, but you need to show me the attachments for this part first. Yuncheng is Tongxing's front line. Anything related to this place will inevitably involve Tongxing."

Liang Lu nodded repeatedly, "Brother Yuntong, don't worry, how could I not understand these rules? With your approval, I dared to utter the first word!"

"Liang Lu, there will definitely be a lot of competitors for this land. Just how confident are you?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Liang Lu revealed an indescribable depth. "I've got everything sorted out in the county. I currently have three exemplary titles in hand, so there's no need to worry about the nominations. The fruit market in Mingnan is still somewhat fragmented, with plenty of cases of price gouging and market manipulation that disregard the bigger picture. Moreover, these days, fruits of similar quality are considered 'imported' once they're labeled as such, commanding exorbitant prices but never lacking in market demand. We still have a lot to do, so hitting the nail on the head isn't difficult."

Hu Yuntong nodded. In the past hour or so, this was the only sentence he spoke with conviction. Hu Yuntong, who smelled slightly of alcohol, suddenly realized that although Liang Lu sometimes seemed a bit detached and didn't see him clearly, Fengliang's success today was certainly not due to empty talk.

Liang Lu is truly capable, and following his vision will lead to a bright future. This matter should be fully supported.
