Siheyuan: Since 51

"If it's a secret, don't tell it."

Lin Zhiyuan remained calm and waved his hand casually, "Let's talk about the third thing."

Liu Siwang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses in an instant.

"You've been exposed. There are rumors on the street that the boss of Lingdan Company is from the north. Although the news is still in the upper echelons, it's still dangerous."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously, as he had expected it.

"Well, I know my limits when I use the power of a tiger to intimidate the scoundrels."

Liu Siwang frowned for a long time and then stood up.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Don't look for me if you have nothing else."

After saying that, he hurried out of the living room.

He took two steps at a time and reached the corner of the wall. Using his hands and feet, he flipped out again.

Lin Zhiyuan was about to see him off, but as he reached the door, he saw this scene and couldn't help shaking his head.

"What kind of person is this? He won't let anyone open the door for him?"

After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand.

"Xiao Hu, Xiao Gao, Xiao Zhong, go back to sleep."

……

A week later.

The Yangtze River Company revised the plan, agreed to a six-month construction period, and the contract was finalized.

And he brought the news that Li Cheng would come to visit in two days.

Lin Zhiyuan was not surprised at all and did not refuse.

After some inquiries, we learned that Li Cheng had just started his career and had not yet married his cousin, nor had he received support from his uncle, the Chaozhou gang leader Zhuang Jing.

From making plastic flowers two years ago to being a contractor now, he is worth about one million yuan.

Regardless of his reputation, Li Cheng's business acumen is admirable.

Li Cheng urgently needs to prove himself and then marry a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman, and Lin Zhiyuan doesn't mind lending a helping hand.

As an investment, the returns are huge, so why not do it?

Two days later.

Yuanda Investment, Chairman’s Office.

Li Cheng, 32 years old, has a handsome appearance and his words and actions make people feel comfortable.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Li Cheng."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

After shaking hands, he gestured, "Come, sit down and chat. We have some good Yuhang tea. You can try it."

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Really? Then I am in for a treat."

After three cups of tea.

Lin Zhiyuan was a mess, talking about everything but never getting to the point.

Li Cheng hesitated for a long time and spoke first, "I heard that Mr. Lin wants to invest in Changjiang?"

Lin Zhiyuan didn't want to lose the right to speak, so he chuckled.

"Well, I do have some ideas about investing in a real estate company, but I have quite a few targets and I'm considering it."

Li Cheng pursed his lips and smiled.

"If you don't have a goal for the time being, you might as well consider Changjiang. This time, the plan was approved and the construction period was shortened, which shows that Changjiang has great potential."

Lin Zhiyuan seemed to agree and nodded.

"To be honest, after this incident, your company is indeed considering it."

Li Cheng smiled slightly, "Mr. Lin, why don't we talk frankly?"

Lin Zhiyuan poured Li Cheng half a cup of tea, then followed up the conversation with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Li, tell me, what is the value of Changjiang, how much money is needed, and how many shares are you willing to give away?"

Li Cheng obviously came prepared.

"One million, 30% of the shares. In addition, Yuanda will lend 5 million to Changjiang."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

I know you will be great in the future, but how much is the Yangtze River worth now?

The total amount is about one million, not only has it tripled, but he also wants to borrow another five million. That's really too much!

He crossed his legs, tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, showed disdain at the corners of his mouth, and said no more.

Li Cheng started hanging out before he graduated from junior high school and also experienced a period of war.

After years of hard work, I have developed a high level of communication skills with others.

First propose an excessive condition to lower the other party's expectations, and then slowly make concessions and take your time.

Of course, there is a disadvantage to doing this, which is that the other party will simply leave the negotiating table.

The reason why Li Cheng dared to do this.

First, Yuanda’s capital injection is not necessary or the only option.

I am in a hurry to prove myself. If I make too many concessions, what will my uncle think and how will my ability be demonstrated?

Secondly, with a cooperation period of up to half a year, even if the next investor cannot be found, there will be a chance to discuss cooperation again.

There was silence in the house.

Zhong Bai watched the two of them drinking tea, looking at each other, smiling, but not speaking, and was very puzzled.

a long time.

Li Cheng spoke first, his tone particularly affirmative.

"Mr. Lin, if I have six million, I am confident that within three years, Changjiang's valuation will reach thirty million."

Not only that, according to his memories from his previous life, Li Cheng had become extremely wealthy in recent years, with assets amounting to hundreds of millions.

But Li Cheng himself didn't know all this, and Lin Zhiyuan had no obligation to tell him.

He spread his hands, with the corners of his eyes slightly curved, as if smiling.

"Maybe, but who can predict the future? Everything is possible. What if three years later, Changjiang is only worth six million, or even more?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "It's unreasonable to take away six million just based on one sentence. What do you think?"

Li Cheng sighed secretly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and chose to pass the buck.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Zhiyuan lit a cigarette and seemed extremely indifferent.

"It's only six million. I'll play with you. One million, thirty shares, five million loan, I can accept it, add two conditions."

There was always light at the end of the tunnel. Li Cheng immediately perked up and smiled, pointing his hand, "You go ahead."

Lin Zhiyuan sat up and stretched out a finger.

"First, the shares will not be diluted for 20 years. It's written into the contract. If the business really develops well, I will also gain something."

Li Cheng frowned, feeling a little entangled. After a few seconds, he asked again, "What about the second condition?"

"For all your, or Changjiang's, real estate developments, Yuanda will account for 30% of the investment."

After Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he leaned back and added, "If you want to play, play big. There isn't much money anyway."

Li Cheng felt extremely uneasy.

If Lin Zhiyuan didn't think highly of Changjiang and himself, he wouldn't have made any demands, and it would even feel a bit like being bound.

But if you say you are optimistic about the Yangtze River, this double insurance approach seems like a euphemistic refusal.

……

Unable to figure it out for a while, Li Cheng decided to take it slow, with a hint of apology.

"Mr. Lin, how about letting me think about it for a week?"

Lin Zhiyuan laughed, "Of course."

Next, the two began to chat.

All over the world, local customs and even the overall situation of the village became topics of discussion.

In the evening, Lin Zhiyuan hosted a meal and they had dinner together.

When the show ended, Li Cheng held Lin Zhiyuan's hand, feeling deeply moved.

He is three years younger than me, but he seems to know everything.

"Brother Lin, meeting you makes this trip worthwhile."

Lin Zhiyuan was also very sincere and clenched his hands tightly.

"Brother Li, it's a shame we met so late!"

Zhong Bai was stunned watching from the side. It was just a meal, but how could the two of them have such deep feelings for each other? It was outrageous.

Not to mention, they were at loggerheads in the office in the afternoon, but now they are friendly and respectful to each other. I don’t understand, I really don’t understand…

Back to 60 Deep Water Bay.

Zhong Bai made a cup of tea for Lin Zhiyuan, sat opposite him, stared at him for a long time before asking.

"Brother Lin, do you want to invest in Changjiang or not?"
