Chapter 286: Only Earn Money Within Your Own Perception [5000 Words Request for Full Order]

20%?

2000 million, that means you want 400 million in benefits?

Lu Yang nodded.

Director Li smiled proudly and said, "Does Boss Lu agree?"

Lu Yang immediately shook his head again: "No, I refuse."

"what?"

Director Li thought he had heard it wrong, and the smile on his face froze at that moment. He said in disbelief: "Boss Lu, can you repeat it again?"

Lu Yang nodded seriously: "Okay, then I'll repeat it again, I refuse. Director Li, you heard it right. I'm sorry, I'm afraid you will be disappointed with this deal."

Director Li's face turned pale: "Why?"

He couldn't understand.

It is obvious that this transaction is profitable for both parties. Compared with the fixed assets of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel worth 2000 million, he only asked for a mere 400 million in kickbacks. Is this too much?

Moreover, he had to build up his connections, persuade the bank, and do work at the factory to separate the official reception business that had originally been taken over by the mining area guesthouse and transfer it to the newly opened Hong Kong and Macau Hotel.

To be conservative.

At least we will make several million in profit this year.

With so many benefits added up, I only need 20% of the shares, which is only 400 million. Is it really too much?

Lu Yang shook his head: "There is no reason, I just don't like the words Hong Kong and Macau Hotel, it's too unlucky."

Two previous owners had been unlucky and were sent to prison.

Whether or not you can get out alive is still just an unknown.

And this is just the life that everyone knows.

Before his rebirth, Lu Yang remembered very clearly that the four previous and current owners of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel were all truly gone.

In this life, I only sent two people to prison, so what?
Of course, Lu Yang is not afraid anymore.

Feng Shui is something that exists if you believe in it, and does not exist if you don’t.

But one thing is very important.

If Lu Yang didn't accept the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel, at most he would lose a business deal.

As it stands, at most he will earn a few million less a year.

But if he wanted to take it over, he would first have to take over Xiao Anquan's debt and use the 1000 million owed to the bank to exchange for the 2000 million fixed assets of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel.

Then, 20% of the equity, which is 400 million yuan in benefits, must be allocated from the fixed assets to be given to the middleman, Director Li.

In the meantime, with all the money in and out, it seems that Lu Yang made a net profit of 600 million.

But don't forget.

The 2000 million is just the fixed asset valuation of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel building.

A very abstract question.

If you say it is worth it, then it is worth it. If you say it is not worth it, then it may be worthless.

Why do you say that?

The Hong Kong and Macau Hotel has been under construction for three or four years and has had two owners. The first owner, Xie Lao Hu, has been put in jail and is said to have to serve 15 years in prison. The second owner, Xiao Anquan, has also been put in jail and, judging from the tone of Comrade Lao Wei, he may be shot.

The Hong Kong and Macau Hotel has not made any profit in recent years.

Previously, in the hands of Xie Laohu, the gray income was hidden, and he did not dare to report taxes for this part. The income from his legitimate business and daily operations mostly depended on official receptions such as those of the state-owned coal mining company.

But it can only barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure.

Until it fell into Xiao Anquan's hands.

At the state-owned coal mine, Director Li may have also begun to covet the 2000 million property rights of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel.

It would be better to cut off the financial resources of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel.

By using some tricks, the official reception at the state-owned coal mine was taken back.

Okay, now Xiao Anquan has also been sent in.

So what about the third owner?

Regardless of whether it is unlucky or not, two consecutive owners have been put in jail. Based on its brand influence, is it still worth 2000 million?
Let’s put this aside for now.

Let's just say that Lu Yang accepts it, and first earns 600 million yuan against his conscience, and then spends some money on decoration, repackaging, and reopening. Oh, by the way, there is also the official reception from the state-owned coal mining company that Director Li promised to introduce.

Just this one.

He can earn several million a year, which is enough to maintain the balance of income and expenditure of the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel.

So is everything fine?

Yes, no.

Director Li seems to be fine with everything, and just collects several million in dividends every year.

Lu Yang is different.

He had to serve Director Li carefully. What if he failed to do so and Director Li stabbed him in the same way he had done to Xiao Anquan, and took back the official reception business of the state-owned coal mine that brought him millions of net profits every year? What would he do?
Are you dumbfounded?

Then let’s do something more ruthless.

The bank has withdrawn your loan and set a time limit for you to pay back the previous 1000 million yuan. If you fail to pay it back, all your assets will be frozen.

How to break this situation?

The bait is very tempting.

But there are traps at every step, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

How foolish it is to entrust your life and property to the honesty and kindness of others?

Lu Yang doesn't want to be the third Xie Lao Hu, nor does he want to be the second Xiao Anquan.

So he could only refuse.

Director Li was so angry that he laughed, because Lu Yang's explanation was too weird: "Unlucky, why is it unlucky? Boss Lu, you are the representative of private entrepreneurs in our county, how can you say such stupid and ridiculous things?"

Damn it, really.

Lu Yang said nothing, spreading his hands and said, "Whatever you think, Director Li, I won't do this deal."

I just won’t do it, so what?
Director Li took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Zhao County is too small.

The bank can give face to Deputy County Mayor Xiao and lend 1000 million yuan to his cousin Xiao Anquan.

But this also shows that Xiao Anquan is not an unknown person.

At least he still has a gypsum mine.

In addition, due to illegal operations, the Hong Kong and Macau Hotel was mortgaged in advance.

But this kind of thing can only happen once and not twice.

In the current situation, except for people like Lu Yang who already have high-quality assets and can act as the buyer, it would be easy to convince the bank.

Otherwise, why would the bank agree to transfer this debt while leaving its own frozen 2000 million fixed assets?

As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain.

By the same token, the best private partner Director Li could think of, the person who would share the cake with him, was Lu Yang. Who else but Lu Yang?
But Lu Yang refused to fall for it and didn’t even have the desire to sit at the table. What should he do?
Lu Yang still shook his head and made a gesture of invitation, "Director Li, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. I only make money within my own cognition. Money beyond my cognition, no matter how much, is too hot for me. Let's go down first, the meal will start soon."

That's straightforward enough.

Director Li took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "Boss Lu, you don't trust me? I thought we were already friends."

This is moral kidnapping, right?
If I'm unwilling to cooperate, does that mean we're not friends anymore?

Lu Yang felt cold in his heart.

But I'm not angry. There's no point in getting involved with such people.

Instead, he said casually, "Friends? Then let me ask Director Li, is it necessary to embarrass one's own people if they are friends?"

Director Li's expression changed.

I wanted to get angry on the spot.

But when he met the eyes of the young man in front of him, a pair of eyes that did not show any fear, his heart suddenly sank.

I wanted to get angry, but the words were blocked and swallowed back when they came to my lips. Otherwise, why do you call him an old fox?
In the last second, it was still cloudy, and in the next second, people could laugh out loud: "It's just a joke, Boss Lu, don't take it seriously. We will have many places to cooperate in the future. Okay, this time I just lost my temper. Goodbye."

He finally saw clearly that Lu Yang was not afraid of him at all.

Moreover, he really couldn't hold the other party back. Whether it was the holiday relief supplies for the workers or the reorganization of the Chashan Coal Mine in the back mountain of Shanghuai Village, the young man in front of him was on the strong side and had strong strength.

In short, Lu Yang can leave him with little loss, or no loss at all, but he cannot leave Lu Yang. If he wants to make money, he has to continue cooperating with Lu Yang, at least in the short term.

I heard that the other party was showing signs of giving in.

Lu Yang didn't want to push him too much, so he laughed and said, "Director Li, you misunderstood me. I was just joking. As for cooperation, why did you refuse? It's just brotherhood. I'm flattering myself. I have no money. I have invested in several projects in the city recently. I really can't take out a penny. So Director Li, I'm sorry, you can only ask for help from someone else.

Come on, let's go downstairs and eat first. Don't say goodbye. Even if you want to leave, you have to finish eating first, otherwise it will be a slap in my face. Director Li, you won't give me this little face, right?"

After saying that, he grabbed the other person.

Director Li couldn't even think of saying goodbye, "Well, let's finish this meal."

The two of them, with fake smiles on their faces, went downstairs together.

But everyone knows that the rift has already occurred and it cannot be eliminated with a few words. Whether it is Mr. Li or Lu Yang, if the two sides cooperate again in the future, they will probably have to be more cautious for fear of being cheated by the other party again.

……

"Director, how is it?"

"It didn't go well."

"That……"

"Eat first, and then we'll talk after we get back."

The dinner table.

Director Li glanced at Fatty Zhao next to him.

This subordinate of mine who had been promoted all the way up was very close to that kid over there. This was not just a rumor, even I had heard about it. Now that there were signs of a falling out between me and that kid over there, why not...

"Zhao Shi, I'll go back first. You stay here and find out what this kid has to say."

"Yes, don't worry, leader."

Zhao Shi spoke vaguely, his mouth full of oil, and patted his chest to make promises.

He was also a shrewd man. In the current situation, the leader had obviously fallen out with the guy over there. At least the business deal failed and he lost some money. This was something that could not be erased even with a knife. Not to mention that the leader felt bad, he also felt bad. It was agreed before that if the business was successful, he would also have a share.

But there is no need to mention these anymore.

The most important thing right now is not to make the leader angry. Whatever the leader says is the final decision. Just agree to it first.

As for what happened after the leader left.

Stay and gather intelligence for the leader?
Ha ha.

Is it that easy to find out?
He would never do something that would offend people on both sides.

Don't forget, that guy over there is also the individual major shareholder of the branch.

Think of this.

Fat Zhao Shi felt a surge of heat in his heart again.

The preparatory work for the reorganization of Chashan Coal Mine is almost complete. According to the previous agreement, the management team from top to bottom will basically be transferred directly from the original state-owned coal mine.

but……

Who will be the party secretary of the new coal mine?
Who will be the director or deputy director of this new coal mine?

Who will be responsible for the safe production of the new coal mine and manage the thousands of coal miners who need to go down into the mine?
Who will be responsible for the finances of such a large branch?

……

These are all lucrative jobs.

However, there is currently a fierce internal struggle to get it started.

Those are invisible smoke.

The fat guy Zhao Shi actually had some ideas in mind.

Judging from the current situation.

If he doesn't move, this is where his life will end.

First: Director Li, his immediate superior and also his backer, is suppressing him. He cannot get promoted even if he wants to. Everyone has their own job.

Second: The mine workers’ pickets are a force that cannot be ignored.

Director Li would not feel comfortable handing it over to anyone else; it had to be someone he trusted. Coincidentally, Zhao Shi had been playing the role of this confidant for more than ten years.

Now I can't withdraw even if I want to, and I want to move out, but Director Li won't agree.

Even for the establishment of this branch factory, Director Li, who made such a great contribution, transferred so many of his confidants to share the cake and take up positions, but his name was not on the list.

This has already made him feel a little dissatisfied.

Because he obviously made the greatest contribution!

When the closed-door meeting was held at Chashan, apart from Director Li, he was the only one who attended the meeting from the entire mine, although his role that day was a driver. Oh, by the way, he also worked part-time as a secretary. But who says that the driver who is responsible for driving for the leader and the secretary who is responsible for holding an umbrella for the leader have no contributions?

If there is no merit, is there no hard work?
Zhao Shi was not very reconciled. He also had his eyes on a position in the new branch, but this position was directly rejected by his immediate superior, Director Li, who was his backer, and told him not to think too much.

Damn, how could he stop imagining things?

A man in his forties finally has an opportunity to move up, but he just gives it up. If you were in his shoes, would you be willing to accept that?

……

In fact, Lu Yang was also paying attention to Director Li, and of course the fat guy Zhao Shi.

Director Li's top henchman.

The conflict between the two sides has already occurred and no one can avoid it. In the future, both sides will be wary of each other.

Of course Lu Yang is not afraid of Director Li.

He is upright and honest. If he were a local official, he might be given some trouble.

But Director Li is just a local state-owned enterprise leader. Although he has a high rank, he doesn't have to bother with local officials. On the surface, he already has four twos and a joker in his hand.

But Lu Yang and he are not playing with the same deck of cards!
If a fight really breaks out, it will be embarrassing for both sides. Lu Yang is at a disadvantage on paper, but he is not completely without a chance to fight back. The worst that can happen is that I won't play anymore.

Love so much.

I'm going to start a new business somewhere else.

But I can also ruin your reputation, Director Li. In short, no one will have an easy time, and the outcome will most likely be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

"Mom, Uncle Meng, father-in-law, mother-in-law, please help me attract customers. I have something to do over there."

Ye Qiuyu was dressed very appropriately today and looked very happy. Her appearance also caused many villagers to look at her from time to time.

But so what?
Do you dare to say anything unpleasant?
With Lu Yang's current status, the entire Shanghuai Village, to put it bluntly, has to rely on him. Everyone has followed him, and they have become rich in the past one or two years. Their lives are much more prosperous than before. If they still come to undermine Lu Yang at this time, are they still human beings?
Won't you be criticized by other villagers?
At this time, the benefits of Lu Yang returning to his hometown to set up a factory came to light. In the entire Shanghuai Village, at least 30 to 50% of the households currently have someone working in Lu Yang's factory, or there are women in the family who are sewing clothes for the garment factory. They are serving Lu Yang's food and eating Lu Yang's meals. What? Are they going to curse Lu Yang's mother?
Try someone else.

Your husband had just died, and his body was still warm, but you left home, abandoning your own flesh and blood. How dare you come back? Not to mention that you had any compelling reasons. Why did you not leave? Your little daughter, who was still in her cradle, could not survive. You would starve to death, and your whole family would starve to death, according to the conservative ideas in rural areas of that era.

That too must be severely criticized, and criticized again.

But obviously, the current situation is that material money has defeated this outdated concept. No gossip is anymore in the eyes of the nosy aunts and uncles. All they have is envy. They envy Ye Qiuyu for giving birth to a good son. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Oh, by the way, I envy her for her second marriage, she actually married a good man again.

Meng Wenxian also dressed up carefully today, changing into the formal suit that he would wear only when he had reception work when he was the deputy director of the city's state-owned cotton textile factory. A brand new and straight suit, coupled with his elegant appearance and intellectual temperament, made him look like a handsome uncle.

Shouldn't they give him lots of extra points?
In comparison, Lu Yang's father-in-law and mother-in-law dressed much more simply and plainly, even though they were the richest man in Shanghuai Village, oh, no, now they are the second richest man.

The old couple were smiling from ear to ear today.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your work. Come on, mother-in-law, father-in-law, let's start from this table."

Old man Yin became excited.

With one hand holding the glass and the other holding the bottle, it is rare to have the opportunity to drink openly like this, so you have to seize it.

Meng Wenxian seemed much more elegant. Basically, when he drank, he would just take a small sip. Unlike old man Yin, when he toasted others, he would drink it in one gulp. When others toasted him, he would also drink it in one gulp. Before he had even finished two tables, he was already dizzy and could hardly stand.

This pissed off Lu Yang's mother-in-law, "You bastard, you are such a disgrace to me."

I pinched his waist hard a few times before he sobered up a little.

As for Lu Yang, he saw that Director Li had left, but the fat man Zhao Shi did not leave with Director Li. He was still eating at the table. He couldn't help but become curious, thinking that there might be a story behind this, so he simply walked over with a glass of wine.
