When Wang Jingru arrived at Shanshui Manor at 9:30 a.m., she had taken a taxi. In fact, after joining Tianmei Media, with her status, she was entitled to a personal driver, but she didn’t want the driver to know about the affair today, so she didn’t call for him.
Contrary to Wang Jingru’s expectations, the CEO, Yang Hao, was actually waiting at the entrance of the park to personally escort her in, a treatment that made Wang Jingru feel quite flattered.
A man being so attentive to a woman all of a sudden must be up to something!
It only made her more convinced of her own speculation!
Tense yet somewhat expectant, they were of the same generation, but among men her age, Yang Hao was definitely one of the best.
Tall and imposing in stature, he had a dashing and unrestrained air about him.
And with the power of money on his side, he fulfilled almost every fantasy a woman could have.
Of course, Yang Hao had no idea about these messy thoughts going on in the “big sister-in-law’s” head. He waited at the park entrance for her primarily because the security at Shanshui Manor was very strict, and it would have been troublesome for Wang Jingru to enter the park by herself.
Secondly, and this was the main reason, Villa 19 where Su Jianye lived was quite close to the main entrance of the park. After meeting up with Wang Jingru, Yang Hao could walk there, using this time to explain her task for today.
“Mr. Yang, so you wanted me to come here to negotiate?”
After hearing Yang Hao’s explanation, Wang Jingru felt a tad disappointed. She was so prepared!
Not only did she change into such a seductive lingerie set, but she also went to the pharmacy and bought the “Offspring-Ending Pill.”
You could say she was ready for everything, just waiting for Mr. Yang to pour in a few billions!
However, it turned out that he had called her over for work, really for a project worth billions!
She quickly adjusted her emotions and entered a work mindset, but the scale of the project—being worth several billions—still made her nervous.
In the film and television industry, she had participated in productions worth hundreds of millions, but she never led the negotiations, she was only involved.
But now, according to Yang Hao, she was to lead the negotiations for this project, which felt like a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the Su residence.
Since Su Xiaoxi had sent a message in advance, she had been waiting at the gate for a while. After receiving Yang Hao and Wang Jingru, Su Jianye, with his son Su Hongxing, came out of the villa with smiles all over their faces.
“Welcome, Mr. Yang, to our humble home.”
“Who would have thought we’d be neighbors; such fate!”
Su Jianye was in his fifties this year, slightly overweight but still looked spirited and not particularly greasy.
Yang Hao shook hands with him and exchanged some pleasantries.
“Mr. Yang, this is my son, Su Hongxing.”
After some formalities, Su Jianye introduced his son Su Hongxing to Yang Hao.
“Mr. Yang, hello.”
Su Hongxing greeted him right away, but inside he was hostile toward the so-called investor his sister Su Xiaoxi brought in.
After all, if this cooperation succeeded, it would make him seem even more incompetent.
They went inside.
Su Jianye ushered Yang Hao and Wang Jingru into the tea room and personally poured tea for both of them.
After a round of business flattery,
Su Jianye broached the real matter at hand: “Xiaoxi mentioned that Mr. Yang is interested in investing in Xingyue Real Estate. I wonder how Mr. Yang would like to cooperate?”
“Mr. Su, I’m not one for beating around the bush. How much investment does Xingyue Real Estate currently need to bring in?”
Yang Hao asked bluntly.
“Mr. Yang sure is straightforward.”
Su Jianye laughed and then held up a finger: “The ideal amount would be this figure!”
“Ten billion?”
The number was within Yang Hao’s expectations.
Given the scale of Xingyue Real Estate, a small goal wouldn’t solve any real problems, and one hundred billion would turn the talk from investment to acquisition.
Therefore, the likelihood was that the finger Su Jianye held up represented ten billion.
This morning, Yang Hao had specially checked his account balance; he could move just over ten billion in personal funds.
This money had been accumulated from various cashback tasks recently, so he actually could produce the ten billion.
Moreover, this was a welfare mission. After the ten billion were invested, he would directly get twenty billion in return, making it the largest cashback he’d ever receive.
Although it was guaranteed profit no matter how one sliced it, investment should always aim for maximizing returns, especially when talking about a massive one-time investment of ten billion!
“Mr. Yang thinks it’s too much?”
Su Hongxing, who had been silent up till then, suddenly spoke up with a counter-question. In truth, he’d been quietly observing Yang Hao, looking for an opportunity to sabotage the negotiations.
Xingyue Real Estate needed investment but not the kind brought in by Su Xiaoxi!
That was what Su Hongxing believed.
With that goal in mind, his tone was inevitably laced with a hint of disdain.
Yang Hao was unaware of the internal situation of the Su family. He glanced at the elder son of the Su family and activated his upgraded “Fiery Eyes.”
Target Person: Su Hongxing
Age: 31
Business Ability: D
Loyalty Level: D
Kidney Energy Value: 45
Uh…
Even the friggin’ Kidney Energy Value!!
This was the first time Yang Hao used the merged and upgraded “Insightful Eyes” and “Fiery Eyes” on a man.
Stay updated through empire
When used on women, the last item showed wear and tear, but for men, it turned out to be Kidney Energy Value!
And this elder son of the Su family had a Kidney Energy Value so low it was pitiful, presumably emptied by excessive indulgences.
Furthermore, a “Double D” rating, is the lowest I’ve seen among everyone!
That is to say, this young master of the Su family belongs to that typical good-for-nothing rich second generation!
After understanding this information, Yang Hao laughed. Naturally, he wouldn’t take the words of this good-for-nothing young master to heart.
Guessing what his son was thinking, Su Jianye glared fiercely at the good-for-nothing young master!
“Isn’t there a meeting at the company? Go to the company first!”
Su Jianye thought his son would only cause more trouble if he stayed, so he wanted to send him away.
“It’s not an important meeting, I’m not going!”
Su Hongxing naturally didn’t want to leave and immediately shook his head.
“Young Director Su must be more interested in this collaboration.”
“If so, just stay!”
Yang Hao actually spoke up for Su Hongxing, seeing that keeping this good-for-nothing young master around would only benefit him without any downside.
A “Double D” rating basically equates to having a teammate that’s a pig!
Seeing Yang Hao speak up for his son, Su Jianye no longer urged Su Hongxing to leave, continuing with the previous topic, “Currently, Xingyue Real Estate is indeed about a billion short in funding.”
“Mr. Yang, if you could make a one-time investment of a billion, we can discuss the conditions in detail.”
“Investing a billion is no problem!”
“But I want to know what kind of return I can get?”
Yang Hao expressed his stance directly.
At the same time, he activated the “Listening to Heartbeats” skill.
This skill can be used on three people per day.
Right now, Yang Hao used it directly on the three members of the Su family.
Su Jianye: Mr. Yang is quite straightforward; seems like we have a chance to strike this collaboration.
Su Xiaoxi: How about we start with offering five percent equity to test his bottom line?
Su Hongxing: This f*cking idiot really plans to invest? Has Su Xiaoxi slept with him? How can the negotiations be progressing so fast!
Hearing the inner thoughts of the three Su family members, Yang Hao couldn’t help but glance at Su Hongxing, thinking to himself: The Kidney-Deficient Young Master really has animosity towards me!
Just don’t know where this animosity is coming from?
“Mr. Yang, since you and Su are alumni, why don’t you two discuss the collaboration matters? Su can represent me!”
Su Jianye said cheerfully.
His inner thoughts, however, were: The effect might be better if Su talks to him, and if it comes to it, we can use the beauty trap!
Su Hongxing: Su Xiaoxi again! Damn, does the old man really intend to leave the family wealth to this woman?
Su Hongxing: I have to mess up this collaboration, otherwise, what place will there be for me in the group!
Su Xiaoxi: This negotiation is likely to be tough, fortunately, I’ve made full preparations. First, we have to figure out Mr. Yang’s bottom line…
Upon hearing their inner thoughts again, Yang Hao felt a bit frustrated because neither Su Jianye nor Su Xiaoxi had revealed how much equity they were prepared to offer.
“In that case, let’s have Su and Director Wang talk!”
“Director Wang can also represent me.”
Yang Hao directly pushed Wang Jingru forward, planning to listen in on the side, quietly eavesdropping on Su Xiaoxi’s inner thoughts.
When Yang Hao said this, Su Xiaoxi subconsciously looked at Wang Jingru.
Su Xiaoxi: Could this woman also be Yang’s mistress? It seems likely, otherwise, he wouldn’t give her such an important task!
I wonder how many mistresses Yang actually has?
Indeed, as soon as a man gets money, not one of them stays faithful!!
While thinking this, Su Xiaoxi unconsciously glanced at her own father.
“Manager Su, an investment of a billion is no small sum; I need to first look at your company’s financial reports and the actual revenue situation…”
Wang Jingru remained very professional and immediately applied pressure to Su Xiaoxi.
“I’ve prepared all that.”
Su Xiaoxi opened the briefcase on the table and took out a stack of documents to hand to Wang Jingru.
Then she said, “Right now, several investment institutions are contacting us. Our intention is to finance a billion for five percent of the equity.”
Su Xiaoxi seemed to be stating her terms, but in reality, she was also informing Yang Hao and Wang Jingru that there were others interested in investing in Xingyue Real Estate, a basic tactic in negotiations.
“Manager Su, do you have an electronic version of these documents? I need our financial team to look at them.”
Wang Jingru acted as if she hadn’t heard Su Xiaoxi’s words just now, asking her own question instead.
Su Xiaoxi: This woman is a bit difficult; no wonder Yang let her talk with me!
Su Jianye: It seems she came prepared; maybe we can really achieve a collaboration!
Well, it still has to be Su Xiaoxi’s vision, it seems my industries will be safer in her hands in the future.
But still, I have to give some shares to Hongxing and Qianqian, let them not participate in the group management, just wait to divide the money, and they can live without worries for the rest of their lives.
Su Hongxing: Damn, they’re really negotiating, if this collaboration happens, Su Xiaoxi won’t climb onto my neck and shit on me!!
I remember the old man saying, for ten billion at most ten percent of the shares would be transferred, I’ll spread the news that it’s fifteen percent.
If Mr. Yang knows this, the deal will definitely fall through!
Listening to the Kidney-Deficient Young Master’s inner thoughts, Yang Hao’s face immediately revealed a smile, silently rejoicing that he had spoken on his behalf and kept him around.
This is just like having my own undercover agent!
Xingyue Real Estate at its peak had surpassed a market value of forty billion, and now its market value has been greatly reduced, left with only about fourteen to fifteen billion.
If I can get ten percent of the equity with ten billion, that would naturally be a huge bargain!
After this round of turmoil in the real estate industry, Xingyue Real Estate’s remaining market value has come very close to its true value. Entering the market now would really be hitting rock bottom.
