In the basement of a certain building in downtown Hancheng City, Minister Jin, who was hurriedly returning, was reporting the situation to the commander-in-chief.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I have inquired about it clearly. This company really has a great background."
"God bless the Southern Dynasty!" Commander Li, who had always been calm, suddenly became excited, "Minister Jin, please tell me in detail."
"yes."
Minister Jin calmed down his excitement:
"Based on the information I learned, I went to the intelligence department to verify it, and I can finally confirm that the owner of the Kuai 8 Hotel has absolutely nothing to do with Daxia officials.
Its parent company, the owner of Coca-Cola Bakery, is probably the financial backer behind this hotel.
This bread factory is not simple. It is currently the largest bread factory in Daxia, with an annual output of 1 million tons of bread.
The most important thing is that this bread factory is a public-private partnership, with both parties holding half of the shares. This is ironclad proof."
In the current environment, the importance of food is self-evident, and the scale of this bread factory is so large that it is unimaginable without in-depth official participation.
"My guess was indeed right..."
"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, I really admire your foresight."
Commander Li waved his hand: "I can't speak of foresight. I like to think about problems from an overall perspective. If the starting point is different, the conclusions drawn will of course be different."
"Having the wise leadership of His Excellency the Grand Commander is actually a blessing to the country and a blessing to the nation."
Minister Kim boasted.
"Okay, has the inspection team arrived at Hancheng University?" Commander Li asked.
"They're already here. I sent them there myself."
"Very good, we must ensure the safety of the inspection team and make sure everything is foolproof."
Commander Li immediately gave instructions.
"Yes, I will follow up on the whole process." Minister Jin suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Commander, do you want to send someone to Yanjing to investigate this big boss behind the scenes?"
"No, this is a critical moment for the Asian Union negotiations. Don't cause more trouble."
Commander Li shook his head.
"I understand, so what should we do next?"
Commander Li thought for a while and replied: "We must facilitate this transaction at all costs. How much is Hancheng University's current price?"
"One hundred and fifty million Xia Yuan."
"It's too much, just 50 million, let them sign the contract quickly."
"Fifty million? This...this is Hancheng University. The land alone is more than one million square meters. Isn't it a bit small?" Minister Jin said distressedly.
Commander Li took a breath: "If the university is gone, it can be rebuilt, but if the people are gone, it is all over. There is an old saying in Daxia, 'If you save the land and lose the people, everyone and the land will be lost; if you save the people and lose the land, both the people and the land will be saved.
', Don't lose big for small things."
"Yes, I will go and talk to them tomorrow."
Commander Li nodded with satisfaction: "Minister Jin, at this time of national survival, I leave everything to you."
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that I will go all out and fight until I die."
Minister Jin quickly assured.
"Very good. When the contract is signed, I will be there in person as a witness."
…
At noon the next day, Xu Dong was feeding Mengmeng for lunch. Xiang Xin finally brought the baby over today. He hadn't seen him for a long time. The baby actually recognized him, which made him very happy.
Suddenly the cell phone rang.
Xiang Xin quickly stepped forward to pick up her daughter, and Xu Dong took out his cell phone. It turned out that it was Mr. Cai calling, and he quickly picked up the call.
"Hello, Mr. Cai?"
"Old Xu, is that you?"
"Well, it's me, Mr. Cai, how did your inspection go?"
"Everything goes well. Hancheng University is quite well preserved and can be put into use with a little repair."
Mr. Cai quickly reported the report.
"That's good. What about the price? Have you negotiated something?"
"Lao Xu, I'm making this call just to report the progress of the negotiations to you. This thing is so strange that I'm a little unsure." Mr. Cai said with a wry smile.
"Oh, what's going on?" Xu Dong frowned.
"Hancheng officials sent a minister as a negotiator. What's even more ridiculous is that Minister Jin took the initiative to lower the price to 50 million. The only condition is that we sign the contract as soon as possible."
Xu Dong was shocked and quickly confirmed: "Is it down to 50 million, or to 50 million? Please speak more clearly."
"It's down to 50 million, which is a full 100 million less than the original price."
"What? Really only 50 million?"
"Lao Xu, when we were negotiating just now, I also doubted whether I heard it wrong. Later, I confirmed it several times through a translator, and then I believed it was true."
Xu Dong rubbed his head, and it was strange that the other party actually held back the money that was delivered to his door.
This is too strange. Could it be a fraud?
But it doesn’t look like the minister has come forward in person, right? And even if it’s a scam, there’s no need to lower the price so harshly, right?
"What did Director Liu say?"
"No, Chief Liu is also confused."
Xu Dong then probed: "Did any emergency happen in Hancheng?"
"No, there have been sandstorms in the past two days, and the fighting has completely stopped. And even if there is a war, the Southern Dynasty officially has a considerable advantage, and there is no news that it will collapse!"
"Please tell me in detail what happened in the past two days." Xu Dong demanded.
Mr. Cai spoke for more than half an hour.
Xu Dong became even more confused after hearing this. He really couldn't think of anything fishy in it.
Seeing that the big boss was silent, Mr. Cai quickly urged: "Old Xu, how should we deal with this matter? Minister Jin is still waiting for a reply!"
"Promise him first." Xu Dong gritted his teeth and said.
"What about the contract?"
"When do they want to sign?"
"Minister Kim means the sooner the better."
Xu Dong nodded: "Then you go to sign the contract tomorrow, but first make an agreement with them. Due to the rush of time, the funds will need to be delayed for a while. Let's see how they react?"
"What if they say yes?"
"Then what's there to be afraid of? Sign a contract with them directly. Although I don't know what the Southern Dynasty people are planning, I'm sure it's a big bargain!"
"Old Xu, do you want to think about this again?" Mr. Cai advised.
After all, it was a big deal worth fifty million, but he still felt it was a bit too hasty.
"Don't think about it. If you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos. Isn't it just 50 million? I can still afford to lose it." Xu Dongqi said.
"Okay, then I will answer the other party later. Lao Xu, do you have any other instructions here?"
"Wait a moment?"
"Well?"
"Didn't we save 100 million? Go and ask Minister Jin if you can buy more real estate or land?"
"Lao Xu, do you still want to buy it?"
Mr. Cai said in astonishment.
"These days, the brave will be overwhelmed and the timid will be starved. Since the opportunity is rare, let's just go for it. Just obey the orders. I will take care of it for you if you need anything."
If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard!
Xu Dong planned to take a gamble. If he won the bet, he would never have to worry about money in his life.
