If a person has no ideals, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?
Liu Sisi didn't want to be a salted fish, so she kept working hard.
After marrying Fan Tong, she jumped from a real estate sales girl to a rich young lady. However, she did not give up her ideals and career. She established a real estate company and began to transform from selling real estate to real estate speculation, intermediary, and also took on some
Small administrative projects.
After gaining a certain amount of accumulation, she decided to grow bigger. After many efforts, she persuaded the Fan family to get the management rights to a piece of land at the west end of Shikeng Village. This piece of land covers an area of about 23,000 yuan.
Square meters, she plans to use it to build a comprehensive commercial and residential building, with a total project investment of more than 600 million.
A 600 million project may be nothing to Xingsheng International, but for a fledgling real estate developer like Liu Sisi, it is already a huge project.
Although the Fan family is rich and Liu Sisi herself has some savings, they can never afford such a large project, so they must find a partner.
After searching around, I finally found Jin Laifu.
Before this, Jin Laifu had heard about Liu Sisi's project, but like many colleagues, he had no interest in this project.
Although Yangcheng is the provincial capital, with a developed economy, dense population, and a shortage of commercial and housing, the Mingzhu District where Shikeng Village is located is the most remote district in Yangcheng, and among the Mingzhu District, Shikeng Village is located on the edge, and some people even
They are not sure whether it belongs to Yangcheng or Huicheng. There is no development prospect at all, so naturally they are not optimistic about this project.
What he was really interested in was Liu Sisi, a charming woman who had aroused his appetite for a long time.
When Liu Sisi arrived as promised, Jin Laifu had already decided that he would definitely give her several hundred million, but it was not money.
As for Fan Tong, whom Liu Sisi brought as a bodyguard, he didn't take it seriously at all.
However, plans can never keep up with changes. At the meeting and reception at Xingsheng International, after hearing the two sentences sent by Lin Hao, he began to retreat.
However, what really made him give up the idea of moving Liu Sisi was that after the banquet, when he was about to discuss next year's contract with the department manager, the department manager informed him that the contract would have to be discussed later.
As for how long the delay was, and why? The department manager did not answer. He only said that this was what the above meant, and he did not understand it.
The department manager didn't understand, but Jin Laifu did. It was Li Zifeng who was beating him up, and of course it could also be Lin Hao's intention.
At this time, Jin Laifu was completely wilted, and he was also worried. Xingsheng International was his biggest partner. If Xingsheng International did not renew the contract, he would not even cry. So not only did he not dare to hit Liu Sisi again,
He changed his mind and changed his previous attitude of having a nose on top of his head and a condescending attitude. He was polite and cautious to Liu Sisi and his wife, and he didn't dare to eat other people's tofu in any other way.
The change in Jin Laifu's attitude was so obvious that even Fan Tong, a neurotic and late-minded person, noticed it, but he couldn't figure out why.
But Liu Sisi knew full well that without him, everything was because of Lin Hao!
After leaving Xingsheng International, Jin Laifu personally sent the two of them back to the hotel.
While in the car, Liu Sisi took advantage of the situation and asked: "Mr. Jin, what is our cooperation?"
Originally, Jin Laifu was planning to use the procrastination technique and delay until he had an in-depth discussion with her before rejecting her. But now he didn't dare to delay, but he also didn't dare to refuse because he was afraid of offending Liu Sisi and attracting Lin.
The uncle got angry and eventually Xingsheng International terminated its cooperation with him.
After Jin Laifu thought about his words for a while, he said: "Well, Xiaoliu, I will consider this matter carefully. Can you please give me a little more time?"
Liu Sisi knew that this was a cooperation involving hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was not something that could be made hastily. It had to be considered comprehensively, and even a decision had to be made after an on-site inspection, so she nodded and stopped asking further questions.
After sending the two people back to the hotel, Jin Laifu drove away. Halfway there, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Taking a look at the caller ID, his expression couldn't help but change, because it was Zhao Fulong's number, but he still cheered up and answered, "Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
Zhao Fulong asked on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Jin, where are you now?"
Jin Laifu said: "I'm halfway!"
Zhao Fulong said: "Does Mr. Jin know about Taiping Old Street?"
Jin Laifu said: "I know."
Zhao Fulong said: "Then please come to No. 38 Taiping Old Street."
Jin Laifu asked: "Mr. Zhao has something to do with me?"
Zhao Fulong said: "Well, come on, I'll wait for you here!"
Jin Laifu still wanted to speak, but a busy signal came from the other end, and it was obvious that Zhao Fulong had hung up.
For such an invitation, Jin Laifu did not want to go. Although his hobbies were a bit special, in general, he was still a legitimate businessman and was not willing to collude with the underworld. If he had to change to another underworld, he would
So he refused. But he couldn't refuse Zhao Fulong because he couldn't afford to offend him, so he had no choice but to go to Taiping Old Street.
As the car entered Taiping Old Street, Jin Laifu quickly found No. 38.
With blue bricks and gray tiles, carved beams and painted roofs, palace lanterns and ancient locust trees, the heavy atmosphere of history is quietly present. Old houses like this are rare in Xiangjiang, and it is even rarer to be so well preserved and located in a bustling market.
There are very few.
When he got out of the car, a man came up to him, "Is this Mr. Jin?"
Jin Laifu nodded and said, "Yes, I am Jin Laifu."
The man said: "Please come with me!"
Jin Laifu followed the man in with some anxiety, walked through the ancient courtyard, and entered a temple-like house, and then he saw Zhao Fulong.
Zhao Fulong was sitting cross-legged on a red sandalwood armchair. In front of him was a heavy square table with tea sets on it. The heat was rising and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.
"Mr. Jin is here, please take a seat!" Zhao Fulong pointed to the seat opposite him, and then said while making tea: "This is the best Yuqian Longjing, specially brought from the mainland. Mr. Jin came to try it
Have a taste!”
Jin Laifu doesn't like drinking tea, he likes drinking. But sometimes, decisions cannot be made based on people's preferences. For example, he doesn't like Zhao Fulong, but he still comes.
He picked up the tea and took a sip, but couldn't taste anything. However, Jin Laifu still said against his will: "Yes, it is good tea!"
Zhao Fulong smiled, "If Mr. Jin likes it, bring two boxes with you when you go back later."
Jin Laifu also smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao invited me here, so he shouldn't just invite me to tea!"
Zhao Fulong said: "Of course not. I invited Mr. Jin here because I want to do business with you."
Jin Laifu didn't want to deal with the underworld, let alone do business with the underworld, so before he even heard what kind of business it was, he already wanted to refuse.
Zhao Fulong ignored his thoughts and expressions and continued to talk to himself: "As far as I know, last year, Mr. Jin won the bid for an old walled village in Yuanlang District in the old city reconstruction bidding project.
?"
Jin Laifu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Zhao Fulong continued: "This project must give Mr. Jin a headache!"
Jin Laifu really had a headache, because although he had tried every possible means to get a walled village reconstruction project during the old city reconstruction, the project was not going smoothly. So far, not only has he not seen half of the profit from it, but it has actually cost him
He lost a lot of money.
There is no other reason than that due to the demolition issue, there have been nail-biting households in the surrounding villages, and not just one or two households, but nearly half of them.
In order to get these poor households to move away, Jin Laifu tried every means, but in the end not only did he not succeed, but he was left disgraced.
Seeing that he was livid and silent, Zhao Fulong added, "Don't Mr. Jin think that those nail households are as difficult to deal with as the underworld?"
Jin Laifu nodded and said: "Yes!"
Zhao Fulong smiled: "Actually, Mr. Jin doesn't know something. Although they are not a gangster, they are the gangsters standing behind them."
Jin Laifu was stunned and looked at him in shock.
"Haha, you don't have to look at me like this. It's not us and Shengtang, it's the Helao Gang." Zhao Fulong explained: "The ancestral home of their leader Chen Yi is in that walled village. He is supporting those tough households from behind.
It’s Chen Yi.”
Jin Laifu knew about the Helao Gang, but he didn't know where Chen Yi's ancestral home was, and no one from the Helao Gang had talked to him.
Zhao Fulong glanced at him and asked flatly: "Are you surprised why Chen Yi didn't talk to you?"
Jin Laifu said: "Yes!"
Zhao Fulong said: "Because Chen Yi is a very nostalgic person with extremely stubborn ideas. He doesn't want money, he just wants to keep his ancestral home."
Jin Laifu murmured: "This..."
"If he doesn't nod, I'm afraid you don't have to think about it if you want to complete this renovation project." Zhao Fulong said, looking at him with some disdain, "It's not that I look down on Mr. Jin, but with your ability, there is no way you can make it happen."
He nodded."
Jin Laifu said nothing, but he had to admit that this was the truth.
Zhao Fulong finally said: "If Mr. Jin is willing, I can take charge of this demolition work and let those stubborn households move out of the village obediently. And I can guarantee that it will not cause any trouble to Mr. Jin."
Jin Laifu felt ecstatic when he heard that he couldn't handle the Helao Gang, and he didn't even dare to do it. However, it was easy for Zhao Fulong to take down the Helao Gang and Chen Yi.
He spent a lot of money on this project, but the progress has completely stalled since the end of last year, making his funds somewhat unstable. It is precisely because of this that he values cooperating with Xingsheng International more.
If the demolition work of the surrounding villages can really be solved, he can start attracting investment. With money, all his problems will be solved.
However, as a businessman, he understands better than anyone that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so he suppressed his emotions and forced himself to ask calmly: "What does Mr. Zhao want?"
Zhao Fulong smiled, and that gentle and elegant smile looked extremely evil at this moment...
