Chapter 326 Road Construction (End)
Although Lu Chen said that he didn't worry about the money, how could Fu Mingzhuo not worry? He knew that Lu Chen had used all the money to acquire the Lieqi Shipyard, and Lu Chen should not have much money left now. Otherwise, according to Lu Chen's previous personality, when Chen Jianghe told him that he wanted to develop artillery, he would definitely give Chen Jianghe a large sum of money as research and development funds. Instead of just giving him a small amount of money like now.
Thinking of this, Fu Mingzhuo couldn't help but sigh secretly. He felt that he couldn't just sit there and do nothing anymore, and he had to have a good talk with Lu Chen about this matter. So, he secretly made a decision in his heart that after Lu Chen finished talking with Dio and the others, he must find an opportunity to talk to Lu Chen about this issue.
After Lu Chen returned to his seat, he quickly finished discussing the funding with Dio and others. After the discussion, Lu Chen warmly invited them to have lunch at his home. While tasting the food, everyone continued to discuss the details of the cooperation. Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Dio and others got up and said goodbye and left Lu Chen's manor.
Watching Dio and the others leave, Fu Mingzhuo's worries grew stronger. He knew that this investment was of great significance to Lu Chen. If the project failed due to insufficient funds, the consequences would be disastrous. So he immediately found Lu Chen and asked impatiently, "Xiao Chen, do you really have enough money to build the road?"
Hearing that Fu Mingzhuo was still asking about money, Lu Chen was a little unhappy. He waved his hand and said perfunctorily:
"Brother Mingzhuo, don't worry about the money. Just manage the factory well."
Fu Mingzhuo said to Lu Chen with an unhappy look on his face: "Xiao Chen, how can I not worry about you? That's Dio Rockefeller. You make such a big promise to him now. When the time comes, you don't have so much money and can't realize the profits you promised him. How are you going to explain it to him?"
Lu Chen smiled indifferently and comforted Fu Mingzhuo, "Brother Mingzhuo, don't worry. After the road is built, the profit will definitely not be lower than what I told them. Moreover, after the road is built, other small cities along the highway in New York State will usher in development because of this road. At that time, the land prices there will definitely rise. We only need to acquire a few pieces of land, and we will earn back the money we spent on road construction in a few years."
"What about the money? Do you have so much money?"
Lu Chen frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't have enough money at the moment, but I can get a loan from the bank. If that's still not enough, I'll transfer the shares of Lieqi Shipyard."
Although Lu Chen said this, he was actually reluctant to sell his shares in Lieqi Shipyard. These shares were hard-earned. He took huge risks and even had conflicts with Evelin to get them. So he would never give up these shares easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
When Fu Mingzhuo heard that Lu Chen would rather sell the shares of Lieqi Shipyard to build this road, he knew that Lu Chen had made up his mind and it would be futile for him to persuade him. Therefore, he decided not to try to change Lu Chen's mind, but to help Lu Chen think about how to solve the problem of road construction.
"Lu Chen, since you have made up your mind to build a road, I will not persuade you any more. But building a road is a huge and complex project that requires a lot of money, manpower and material resources. Have you thought of a specific implementation plan?"
After being asked by Fu Mingzhuo, Lu Chen realized that he had never thought about this question. But he couldn't be blamed, after all, he had to get the funds in place first. If he couldn't get the funds, the following things would definitely be hopeless, so there was no point in considering it.
Lu Chen frowned and thought, looking at Fu Mingzhuo from time to time, as if he wanted to get some inspiration from him. Fu Mingzhuo smiled with ease, watching Lu Chen thinking, secretly laughing in his heart.
Finally, Lu Chen raised his head, shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Mingzhuo, I really haven't thought about this issue." He smiled bitterly and continued, "I have been working hard to raise funds to ensure that the project can be carried out smoothly. As for the selection of the project leader, I really have no idea."
Hearing this, Fu Mingzhuo couldn't help but laugh. He gently patted Lu Chen's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, you should first solve the funding problem. As long as the funds are in place, other things will naturally be solved. But now that funds are no longer a problem, you can also start looking for a suitable project leader."
Lu Chen nodded. He knew that what Fu Mingzhuo said made sense, but he was still a little distressed. He knew that he knew nothing about road construction. If he couldn't find the right person to take charge, the project would be difficult to proceed smoothly. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something. He looked at Fu Mingzhuo with a hint of expectation in his eyes and asked, "Brother Mingzhuo, you mentioned this question just now. Does it mean that you know someone with talent in this area? If you do, can you recommend one to me?"
When Fu Mingzhuo heard this question, he was stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He waved his hands and smiled helplessly: "I am just a factory worker. I stay in the factory every day. How can I know anyone who works in infrastructure?" Fu Mingzhuo shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.
Lu Chen also knew that what Fu Mingzhuo said was true, but he really needed to find a suitable person to be in charge of the infrastructure work of the new factory. So he frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "In this case, I can only consider outsourcing this task to those professional construction teams."
Fu Mingzhuo nodded in agreement after hearing this. After all, it is better to leave professional matters to professionals, and this can save a lot of time and energy. Then, he stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said to Lu Chen with a smile: "Since you have an idea, I will go back first. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with!"
Lu Chen originally wanted to ask Fu Mingzhuo to stay for a while, but Fu Mingzhuo insisted on leaving, so Lu Chen did not force him. He asked Hans to drive Fu Mingzhuo back and told him to make sure he got there safely.
