Chapter 2304 - 2304

Wang Chenglong stated that as long as Liu Zhizhong assumes his role at the Dongnan City Culture and Tourism Bureau and gets these two basketball events up and running, his "Ruilong Consulting Company" would fully sponsor them. Everything from jerseys and shoes, logistical support, venue rentals, to prize money for the competitions would be covered by him.

In the business sector, Wang Chenglong is quite a big shot in the Provincial City. With his sponsorship support, you think mayors like Zhang Qidong and Xiong Wenwu wouldn't be thrilled? Haha...

So, it was decided that this good deed would just proceed for now.

After breakfast, Zhang Qidong and Xiong Wenwu went off to attend meetings and study sessions. They would return to Dongnan City next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong had no other plans, so he tagged along with Wang Chenglong to visit Ruilong Consulting Company, checking out the place and getting to know each other.

Actually, Wang Chenglong's idea was to have Liu Zhizhong meet his sister, Wang Ruoxi, and perhaps exchange contact information.

This brother was quite concerned about his sister's marriage, really putting his heart into it. Anyway, the old man is quite pleased with Liu Zhi, so this marriage is a big joyful occasion!

Wang Chenglong is confident about his sister and Liu Zhizhong's relationship. After all, his sister is an overseas returnee, not only capable but also very beautiful and sexy. He couldn't believe a young man like Liu Zhizhong could resist liking her.

However, there was a bit of a mishap today; the company receptionist said that Manager Ruoxi had flown to the south on a business trip and would return next Monday.

Wang Chenglong naturally didn't say much, nodded, and led Liu Zhizhong to his office to sit down for tea and some casual chit-chat.

Though he called it casual chit-chat, they were actually discussing business.

Wang Chenglong's business, as a consulting company, those in the know are aware. He could help people get government projects faster; he would take some shares and commissions, and that's it.

Nowadays, many people with connections in officialdom are running consulting companies! If they don't take on projects themselves, making money takes too long; they help others with consulting and getting projects, making it easy and fast, haha...

Liu Zhizhong also understood a lot about both government and civil affairs.

Therefore, as he chatted with Wang Chenglong, the conversation became increasingly interesting.

Wang Chenglong looked more highly on this potential brother-in-law. Although young, his knowledge and insights were truly impressive!

By the way, Liu Zhizhong knew he'll certainly get the job at the Culture and Tourism Bureau without a hitch, so the matters he had discussed with Mr. Zhang before need to be put on the agenda as well.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhong told Wang Chenglong that Dongnan City would soon hold some cultural and tourism activities related to fishing, asking if Brother Wang was interested in investing or sponsoring.

Wang Chenglong, upon hearing this, immediately replied: "Sure, investment and sponsorship are no problem at all! It's mainly about how you're going to handle these cultural and tourism projects. Anyway, idle hands are idle hands, so let's discuss further?"

Liu Zhizhong smiled and went straight into an impromptu speech, speaking eloquently and logically, which intrigued Wang Chenglong to no end, ultimately earning high praise!

In the end, Wang Chenglong made a decision: "Alright, we'll rely on the water resources in Dongnan, use the live streaming influence you and Yu Haiping have as the medium to organize a Dongnan Wild Fishing Survival Contest, and I'll sponsor it, hehe... If the traffic picks up, it would be sensational. Your accounts must help bring in merchandise for my company, hehe..."

"Don't worry Brother Long, as long as you have products, we'll definitely help sell them!" Liu Zhizhong chuckled, expressing some doubt, "But Brother Long, what products could you supply? We're a fishing media, not other categories!"

Wang Chenglong chuckled and responded: "It's not about products, just naming rights. Those who understand, understand; those who don't, don't need to know. Among the national Fishing Men, there are some big shots. Those with business needs will naturally come contact, will seek us out, haha..."

Liu Zhizhong felt relieved and nodded, "Alright, don't worry, no problem. When the time comes, you'll have the naming rights for the whole Wild Fishing Survival Contest, and our live rooms will bring in advertisements for you too! The profits are yours; we won't take a dime..."

Wang Chenglong immediately raised his hand to stop Liu Zhizhong, "Alright, don't say that. Wang Chenglong never lets friends lose out in business deals. Charge advertising fees for your live stream as you see fit. Anyway, don't I also have technical shares? Hahaha..."

Wang Chenglong said this, bursting into laughter, presenting a suave yet shrewd businessman image, coupled with a breezy demeanor of a big boss.

Liu Zhizhong also laughed along, shaking his head with admiration, giving him a thumbs-up, "Hmm, no wonder you're my brother indeed! Alright, we'll follow Brother Long's instincts!"

To be honest, Liu Zhizhong and Yu Haiping setting up advertisements for Wang Chenglong, if Wang Chenglong successfully closes just one consulting project, the profit would amount to more than what an ordinary person could achieve in ten lifetimes, and they might not even earn that kind of money.

Nowadays, sometimes it's all about leveraging information imbalances; hit the mark, and you profit big. Ordinary people, without pathways or resources, are left with only toil as cattle and horses.

And Liu Zhizhong and Wang Chenglong were truly masters of leveraging these resource plays.

On that morning, Wang Chenglong truly shared with Liu Zhizhong the types of business consulting he was mainly involved in now, leaving Liu Zhizhong open-eyed; of course, quite knowledgeable, yet not overly startled.

Anyway, without a project worth over a billion, really no need to look for Wang Chenglong, he wouldn't be interested, hahaha...

At noon, the two had a simple lunch at the company.

Damn... Though calling it simple, the company's own cafeteria standards were truly high!

Wang Chenglong's company didn't have too many people, just twenty or thirty.

They all ate together at the cafeteria, and President Wang also introduced his friend to everyone, saying this is my brother Liu Zhizhong, and thus the bond was established.

Wang Chenglong indeed differed from the typical second-generation officials, not arrogant at all, very down-to-earth.

But when you think about his ways, how he dealt with Lu Liang's men, he managed it so ferociously that they were howling in chaos, haha...

Over on Lu Liang's side, his men were caught with contraband goods in their car and were taken in, leaving him utterly frustrated, quickly seeking connections from the Provincial City to finally smooth things over.

Of course, the contraband was eventually confirmed to be dog food, so that was that.

However, Lu Liang knew where Gu Yan was staying at the hotel, so he couldn't suppress his fondness, held it in for two days, and still went to disturb her.

Meanwhile, after lunch, Liu Zhizhong went with Wang Chenglong to the company's fitness center to play a game of bowling.

In the afternoon, the pair visited a nearby fishing spot in the Provincial City, where they fished in a stocked pond, aiming for the Giant Green Fish.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating; Giant Green Fish weren't biting. So, the two only spent a thousand on fishing fees, caught a single 50-pounder, but couldn't successfully bring it ashore. However, that didn't affect their enjoyment.

The next morning, Wang Chenglong had plans to travel abroad, so he allowed Liu Zhizhong free reign to arrange things as he pleased. A room at Wangyue Hotel was reserved for him the entire time, as his exclusive room whenever he came to the Provincial City.

Damn... This kind of treatment ain't bad!
