You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 343 Road Construction, Loans

"Third Uncle, you said it: if you want to get rich, build roads first."

"Our Dian'an County is still too poor..."

"The lives of ordinary people are too hard. If there were a good highway, transportation would be more convenient, and local specialties could be transported out, making people richer..."

"Uncle Three..."

Lu Yuanqing remained expressionless; he knew it wouldn't be good news.

"I'll build the road, but you need to do me a favor!"

"What?" Wei Ye hadn't expected Lu Yuanqing to be so decisive, and hurriedly asked upon hearing this.

“I want a loan,” Lu Yuanqing said.

"Huh?" Wei Ye was slightly taken aback.

Given the government's current loan support policies, it would be easy for Lu Yuanqing to obtain a loan based on his current assets.

But putting aside Lu Yuanqing's real estate and his tens of millions of yuan in liquid assets, why does he need a loan? What is he planning to do with it?

Most importantly, the amount that needs Wei Yemen's access to loans is certainly not small.

and so……

What is Lu Yuanqing trying to do?

"Third Uncle, do you have other projects?"

Wei Ye asked a very direct question.

Lu Yuanqing smiled at him and said, "There is a project, and it's very good. If you want to participate, you can tell me, and your third uncle will help you make some money."

If all goes well this time, Lu Yuanqing's long-awaited retirement can finally be realized.

At that time, he only needs to follow the trends he remembers and invest; he won't need to do any real business himself, and he can make money while lying down.

Wei Ye's eyes lit up. He still had complete faith in Lu Yuanqing's Midas touch.

The Lu family has come a long way from being in the countryside to where they are today, a fact that even his father sometimes praises.

The Lu family's current state is largely thanks to Lu Yuanqing.

Wei Ye and his family are all involved in politics; none of them would venture into business.

Even in arranged marriages, people were chosen from military and political backgrounds; he was the only one in the entire family who chose someone he liked.

A large part of the reason was that as the youngest member of the family, no one wanted to make him suffer. In addition, the Wei family's situation was not particularly good at the time. Their greatest hope for Wei Ye was that he could be happy. It would be good enough if the family could live a good life with him by their side.

Therefore, Wei Ye's choice of Lu Mingxi was truly an unexpected result.

The Wei family was definitely somewhat dissatisfied, but they didn't show it and treated Lu Mingxi quite well.

Lu Mingxi herself was quite capable, and gradually the Wei family became quite satisfied with her.

Moreover, and most importantly, the Lu family members are not the type to hold anyone back; they would never do anything outrageous just because they are related by marriage.

The Lu family is now planning to pursue a business path, and they're doing quite well.

They had initially accepted that Lu Mingxi's family wouldn't offer any help, so they were now pleasantly surprised that Lu Yuanqing would provide assistance.

"As long as you help me get the loan sorted out, I'll take care of all the roads in the county and even invest in building a factory!" Lu Yuanqing said mysteriously.

Wei Ye's curiosity grew, "Third Uncle, I heard from Fourth Uncle yesterday that your garment factory is doing very well and has plenty of funds. In fact, your kind of manufacturing industry is the least short of cash flow, so why do you need to take out a loan?"

Moreover, it seems that the loan amount is quite large.

Lu Yuanqing smiled at him and said, "Keep it a secret for now. If you also want to earn some pocket money, just tell me when the time comes. Your third uncle won't help you, as long as it doesn't affect you."

"That's fine, as long as it's done through legitimate means!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Lu Yuanqing said.

"As for the loan, Uncle, wait for me to go home, and I'll let you know then!" Wei Ye couldn't guarantee anything for the time being. "But you need to tell me how much you want to borrow first, so I have an idea."

Two hundred million!

"Hiss!" Wei Ye gasped in shock. "How much?"

Lu Yuanqing calmly held up two fingers and said, "Two hundred million!"

"Impossible!" Wei Ye said, "Third Uncle, this is impossible. Two hundred million is too much. The bank will not agree to it."

Even if his sister-in-law is the bank manager's daughter, it's unlikely he could come up with so much money.

Lu Yuanqing: "I have a factory and land, which I can mortgage."

"Third Uncle, the amount is too large. Even if someone helps, the bank won't approve it."

Lu Yuanqing was just saying that; it would be best if it could be approved, but he wouldn't be disappointed if it couldn't. However, he added, "The more funds the better. We'll give as much as we can get approved."

If he were to take out a bank loan himself, tens of millions wouldn't be a problem, but it would be at most tens of millions.

Two hundred million wouldn't do, but if he could get a loan of one hundred million, that would be a pleasant surprise.

Moreover, he hadn't originally intended to ask Wei Ye for help.

Lu Yuanqing knew that with Wei Ye's help, he could make things much easier.

But he refused.

It wasn't that they were being distant, but rather that they didn't want to put Wei Ye in a difficult position.

He hoped that the relationship between Wei Ye and Lu Mingxi could be simpler.

Knowing his own family situation, Lu Mingxi was incredibly lucky to find a family like Wei Ye's.

The Wei family's wealth is something the Lu family could never hope to achieve in several generations.

This is not an excuse for feeling inferior; it's a fact that cannot be denied.

If Lu Mingxi hadn't met Wei Ye at school, he wouldn't have encountered such a high threshold.

When the two families met for the first time, Lu Yuanqing and Wei Ye's elders appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly they were cursing.

Having such an extraordinary in-law family must be very stressful.

Therefore, Lu Yuanqing did not want to trouble Wei Ye or put him in a difficult position, largely because he did not want to put Lu Mingxi in a difficult position.

The disparity in their social standing was too great, and all he could do was prevent his own family from becoming a cause of Lu Mingxi's marital problems.

But now it's Wei Ye who's come to us on his own initiative.

Since the other party wants to bring him in as an investor, it's not unreasonable for him to ask for some compensation!

……

Just after the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Ye's family and Gu Yushan's family returned to the city.

Three days later, Wei Ye sent word that the bank needed to meet with him in person.

Lu Yuanqing immediately went to the city.

Once he leaves, he won't go back to the village. If everything goes smoothly, he might go directly to Shenzhen and then head straight to Hong Kong.

So, before leaving, Lu Yuanqing donated 300,000 yuan to repair the roads in the township.

As for the rest, let's talk about it after he gets his loan and comes back from Shenzhen!

The Wei family has always pursued a political career.

However, his in-laws may not necessarily follow this path.

Wei Ye's older brother married the bank manager's daughter.

For the sake of the county's roads and factory investments, Wei Ye returned home and relentlessly pestered his elder brother until he finally secured this introduction.

Lu Yuanqing met with the bank manager without any problems, and the conversation went very smoothly.

With his substantial wealth and the guarantee of the eldest son of the Wei family and the bank manager's son-in-law, Lu Yuanqing has no problem getting a loan.

Of course, the specific amount needs to be discussed.

If the government is strongly supporting loan policies, Lu Yuanqing's loans will also contribute to the bank's performance.

After some negotiation, Lu Yuanqing obtained a loan of 100 million.

Two hundred million was impossible, but we managed to negotiate down to one hundred million.

Once the amount was confirmed, Lu Yuanqing promptly submitted the required documents to the bank, and the funds arrived in his account half a month later.
