Siheyuan: Since 51

Fulinmen, a hall between mountains and rivers.

Lin Zhiyuan brought Hu Yi and pushed the door open under the guidance of the waiter.

Huo Dong was seen chatting and laughing with the two of them.

One of them was about thirty years old, with small eyes, shaggy eyebrows, and spoke with a strong nasal accent.

The other was a man in his forties, with slightly high cheekbones, sparse eyebrows, and eyes drooping to the sides.

"Xiao Hu, go eat next door."

After sending Hu Yi away, Lin Zhiyuan walked forward with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Huo, we have two distinguished guests today. Please introduce them to us."

The three of them stood up hurriedly.

Huo Dong smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay, okay, I'll introduce you right away."

Then, he pointed to the older man and said, "This is Guo Sheng, Brother Guo. Hongchang Department Store is his property. He has also entered the real estate industry. Hongji is his property."

Lin Zhiyuan extended his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Brother Guo, nice to meet you."

Guo Sheng spoke in a clear voice and held Lin Zhiyuan's hand.

"Mr. Lin, I have heard of your fame for a long time and I have admired you for a long time!"

"You're welcome. Let's make money together in the future."

Lin Zhiyuan responded and turned to look at another person.

Huo Dong introduced again.

"You must have heard of Zheng Tong and Zhoufu Jewelry, right? Even Zheng's Real Estate, which had already developed the Blue Villa in Happy Valley and built the Island Building in Causeway Bay a few years ago, is well-known in the real estate circle!"

Lin Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and praised with a smile: "The 49 Gold has been famous for a long time. I have also been envious of the Hong Kong Island Building for a long time. I didn't expect to see the real person today!"

Cheng Yutong said in a dignified voice: "No, no, Mr. Lin, you are too kind, I should be the one who met the real person!"

After a few pleasantries, the four of them sat down.

We drank tea and chatted, and soon the food was served.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Huo Dong brought up the main topic.

"Brother Lin, we are all family, so I won't hide anything."

As he said this, he glanced sideways at Zheng and Guo.

"You two have been frustrated in your development, you have to help."

Lin Zhiyuan followed the topic and responded cheerfully: "Two brothers, please tell me. We are all Chinese. I will definitely help you if you can."

Zheng and Guo looked at each other, and Guo Sheng spoke first.

"Alas, Hongchang Department Store is having a hard time under the siege of Jardine Matheson, especially since many of its stores are rented, which puts a lot of pressure on them. As for Hongji, they just demolished some buildings."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up with a hint of anticipation.

"Mr. Lin, I understand your habits. I can agree to 30% of the shares, the loan, and the investment amount. I wonder if you can lend a helping hand?"

"No problem, what about helping me? Let's make money together."

Lin Zhiyuan was very straightforward and just smacked his lips.

"To be honest, I have been wanting to enter the department store industry for a long time."

Guo Sheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You think this is just a small profit?"

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head. "It has huge potential. The profit may be small now, but it is stable. If there are dozens of them all over Hong Kong Island, that would be a lot."

Then, he changed the subject and explained, "Of course, it's not just this reason. The boss of Henry's Goods Store and I have some personal grudges..."

After listening patiently, Guo Sheng made a prompt decision, "Don't worry, after the cooperation, we will be a family. Henry, I will take care of it and let you vent your anger."

Lin Zhiyuan picked up the wine glass and gestured, "Okay, come on, let's toast to Brother Guo."

The two clinked their glasses and drank.

Lin Zhiyuan turned to look at Zheng Tong, "Brother Zheng, Zhoufu Jewelry is not short of money, and Zheng's is also developing well. Do you also need funds?"

Zheng Tong narrowed his eyes and explained with a smile.

"It's not a small amount. If it's not a small amount, I won't trouble you based on my friendship with Hengsheng."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, "Of course, there are two other reasons. One is to join the team early, and the other is to consolidate the foundation."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, then shook his head.

"Brother Zheng, you have a long-term vision. It's no problem to consolidate the foundation. I accept your support. Can you tell me how big your plan is?"

Zheng Tong did not hide anything and spoke slowly immediately.

"The jewelry industry in Hong Kong has reached a bottleneck. If we want to expand our scale, compete with British capital, or even go global, we can only have a chance if the big fish eat the small fish."

Lin Zhiyuan responded casually: "Business wars have always been like this. Mergers and acquisitions are a good strategy."

Zheng Tong was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"In that case, I wonder if Mr. Lin has the guts to take a gamble with me. 50 million, 40% of the shares, I want to swallow up Jingfu Jewelry, Guiheng Jewelry... eight brands."

After that, he explained: "Zhou Fu is worth 35 million. When it acquires other brands, it will also leave them a small amount of shares. My initial thought is that it will not exceed 20%."

50 million, 40% of the shares after the nine-in-one merger, 20% inflated.

Considering that a premium is required to enter the market, it is acceptable.

What's more, Zheng Tong's statement about taking sides also surprised Lin Zhiyuan.

He chuckled and said, "Okay, a little gambling can make you happy."

After finishing their business, the four of them chatted freely about all sorts of things.

……

Since then, Yuanda Investment has been spending money like crazy to support Chinese businessmen, and the news has spread quickly to every corner of Hong Kong Island.

Whether they are entrepreneurs or small businesses, there is an endless stream of people coming to seek investors.

Every autumn rain brings a chill, and as winter goes by and spring comes, the days become warmer.

In the blink of an eye, 61 years passed and it was the midsummer of 62.

The sun is shining brightly and Hong Kong Island is as hot as a steamer.

Lin Zhiyuan had already anticipated that he would not stay in Hong Kong Island for long.

The situation of Rabbit and Elephant is getting more serious, and the difficulties at home are gone.

Yuanda Investment expanded rapidly within a year, covering all aspects of Hong Kong Island.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment in Hong Kong Island, no matter John Bull or the rabbit, it is impossible for them to leave Yuanda from the moment they are born.

Thousands of Hong Chang convenience stores and hundreds of Hong Chang supermarkets are scattered like stars in every corner of Hong Kong Island.

Hundreds of Kowloon buses, 5,000 Swift Taxis, and even thousands of gas stations provide convenient travel for the people of Hong Kong Island.

Pigeon cages, thousand-foot mansions, ten-thousand-foot villas, various commercial buildings, Mazu temples, and commercial streets are everywhere.

Pharmaceutical, electrical appliance, furniture...all kinds of factories, with tens of thousands of employees, including their families, hundreds of thousands of people make a living with Yuanda.

……

With Yuanda's explosive growth, British capital had long been aware of the crisis and launched frantic attacks, with the Hong Kong government even stepping in to interfere.

Lin Zhiyuan managed to maintain it regardless of the cost.

Central.

A 22-story building, with four big characters "Broad Investment" standing out, is extremely eye-catching.

22nd floor, Chairman’s Office.

Lin Zhiyuan stood in front of the window, looking at the busy traffic downstairs.

Behind him, Bai Sha opened her delicate lips and reported slowly.

"Brother Lin, this month our four factories have undergone multiple routine inspections by the fire department and even the police department, and our production has dropped by about 10%."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't look back, and said slowly, "What else?"

"Many new buildings in the Yuanda Group, including Changjiang, Huo's, Yongye... have no water or electricity."

"anything else?"

……

A series of force majeure factors led to heavy losses.

Lin Zhiyuan pretended not to hear, narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke slowly without any haste.

"As usual, the losses are far greater than they should be, so get down!"

After saying that, he pondered in his mind again, the drama was about to begin, how should he make them pay for their blood debt with blood.
