Chapter 290 Whoever has the money(1/2)
Across the road from the International Convention and Exhibition Center, there is a very grand teahouse, hidden in a building with a very modern outline.
Amidst the bustle, Ge Youcai and Long Wu sat together drinking morning tea.
The two have known each other for many years and are both very good friends and neighbors in Bihai Longting Community.
Long Wu took a sip of the tea and asked first: "Speaking of Brother Ge, why did you suddenly decide to sell the company? I also plan to work with you, Brother Ge, on this big project in Nanwan."
Like Ge Youcai, Long Wu also started working in the sea in the early 1980s. Until 1994, he had been engaged in steel trading for twelve years.
At that time, for business purposes, at a time when most people in China had never even seen a car, he flew to and from Zhonghai City two or three times a month, taking the lead in living the life of a trapeze artist.
That period of time was actually a great time for domestic businessmen to do business.
Despite the fact that the situation was uncertain at that time, and the top management was also hesitant about which path to choose in the country, but because of this, the Xia Kingdom was in a period of drastic change, and there were business opportunities everywhere. As long as you were brave enough, you would have the opportunity to start from scratch.
Earn your first pot of gold.
Twenty years later, the market conditions will be completely different.
Most of the business opportunities that ordinary people can see have been fully occupied, and the market has become a battlefield for capital. If you want to start from scratch, you can only dream about it.
There is no doubt that Long Wu is lucky. He relied on his boldness and carefulness to successfully complete the initial accumulation.
In 1984, he had already accumulated a net worth of over one million yuan, and at that time, the term "ten thousand yuan household" in China had just begun to appear.
Obviously, no matter what era, there are always some people who can be one step ahead of others.
In 1994, Long Wu gave up his steel business and decided to enter the real estate development industry, thus establishing Galaxy Enterprise Group.
His first project, the Galaxy Plaza with a construction area of more than 200,000 square meters, was completed and launched to the market in 1996.
Although the response was not very enthusiastic, it allowed him to successfully establish a foothold in this industry.
This time Baiyun officials wanted to promote the development of the Nanwan project. Long Wu saw an opportunity and naturally wanted to get involved. However, he was worried that Galaxy Real Estate was not strong enough, so he also wanted to form a secret alliance with the Ge Youcai family.
Who would have thought that when I asked Ge Youcai to come for morning tea, I would learn from Ge Youcai that Jingyi Real Estate had been sold.
This news immediately made Long Wu very painful.
But when it comes to pain in the balls, it hurts Ge Youcai even more than Long Wu.
"Forget it, I only have money in my hand now and no one under me. I am just a mere commander."
Long Wu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Aren't there many old employees in Lean Lean Real Estate? You heard that you treat them very well on weekdays. How is it possible that you can't dig out even one person?"
It's okay not to mention it. As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ge Youcai became even more angry and cursed: "Don't mention it, they are all white-eyed wolves. If you have breasts, you are a mother. I heard that I want to make a comeback, so everyone has good things to say.
Congratulations, but when I asked them to come over and help me, they all shook their heads, and no one was willing to nod in agreement. Do you think this is annoying or not?"
The more Long Wu listened, the more confused he became: "There's no reason. Could it be that the new boss poured some kind of ecstasy soup into them?"
Ge Youcai smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not afraid of pouring ecstasy soup. It's just drawing cakes. It's not like I can't do it. The key is that the other party doesn't respect martial ethics and just throws money."
After Lu Yiming took over Jingyi Real Estate, he immediately turned his guns to deal with General Shicai.
When Ge Youcai learned that General Shi Cai had now retired and returned home to nurse his children, and saw that his enemy was even more miserable than himself, he felt so happy. After all, there is a kind of happiness in this world called schadenfreude.
Since then, Lu Yiming has not been to Jingyi Real Estate much. Ge Youcai also felt that with his many years of prestige in the company, it would be easy to recruit a group of people and make a comeback by leveraging the shareholder momentum of the Nanwan project.
However, when he went to Jingyi Real Estate to poach employees happily, he immediately stopped laughing.
Including Zhang Jinlai, the general manager he single-handedly promoted, all employees in the company declined Ge Youcai's solicitation, saying that they were doing well now and had no plans to change jobs.
It was only at this time that Ge Youcai realized that Lu Yiming not only raised his salary more aggressively than him, but also that the pie he drew was much bigger than him.
"Twenty billion in five years! Twenty billion. One of them dares to say this, and the other dares to believe it. Do you think it's outrageous?"
The development goals that Lu Yiming set for Zhang Jinlai immediately made Ge Youcai break through.
Long Wu could hear Ge Youcai's anger and helplessness. After all, he founded the company with his own hands. It would be fine to kick him out. Now even the old employees in the company can't be taken away. The feeling is probably worse than being cuckolded.
Much more enjoyable.
After all, in these days, as long as you have money, it is really easy to find a young, beautiful and lovable wife.
But the Nanwan project is about to start, and Ge Youcai has no one available. It feels like a big piece of fat is placed in front of you. You are so hungry that your chest is pressed against your back, but you can't eat. This torture is simply worse than death.
The two were chatting when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The person who came was none other than Lu Yiming.
He sat down next to Long Wu and said to him straight to the point: "Boss Long, my surname is Lu. This is my business card. I wonder if I can give you a favor. Let's get to know each other?"
When Ge Youcai saw Lu Yiming, he suddenly stood up and his face changed drastically: "It's you!"
Lu Yiming looked up and saw Ge Youcai's face clearly and recognized him: "Hey, Brother Ge, you are here too."
Although it was not a meeting of enemies, Ge Youcai was extremely jealous when he saw Lu Yiming's energetic appearance: "What a fart, I'm not good at all!"
Lu Yiming smiled disapprovingly and said, "How could that be? I heard the angry voice when you spoke, Brother Ge, and I knew you were well fed and sleeping soundly."
Ge Youcai finally saw what it means to be shameless today.
The young man in front of him not only threatened him to sell his shares in Shi Kam Kee at a low price, but also took away the lean real estate he founded. Now he actually has the nerve to say that he is well fed and sleeping soundly!
Who are these people!
But Ge Youcai knew in his heart that a "bad guy" like Lu Yiming was born to do business. On the other hand, his son who knew nothing but spending money was nothing compared to Lu Yiming.
Thinking of this, Ge Youcai became even more angry, and he immediately sat aside and stopped talking.
Long Wu was shocked when he saw that his old friend was at odds with a young man and then fell into a disadvantage in the blink of an eye.
Just now, he thought that Lu Yiming's straight-forward demeanor seemed too young and lacked any dignity, but now he did not dare to think so.
You know, Ge Youcai started from scratch and achieved his current wealth. He is definitely a ruthless person. However, this ruthless person has repeatedly failed in front of Lu Yiming, which shows that Lu Yiming is definitely more ruthless and harder to deal with than Ge Youcai.
Sometimes, to judge whether a person is awesome or not, just look at his opponent. After all, only when they are equally matched can they be opponents, otherwise it can only be a one-sided crushing.
Long Wu solemnly took the business card from Lu Yiming, glanced at the content on the card, and then said: "Mr. Lu, I don't know why you came to see me today?"
Lu Yiming did not directly answer Long Wu's words, but looked at Ge Youcai.
Although Ge Youcai was still angry, when he thought of Lu Yiming's method of dealing with General Shi Cai, he immediately felt sad and decisively chose to give in.
He understood the look in Lu Yiming's eyes, which was clearly an order to expel guests. It was obvious that Lu Yiming didn't want him to hear what he said next.
"Then you guys chat first, I'm leaving, Brother Long, we'll make an appointment when you have time."
Long Wu knew that Ge Youcai was unhappy, so he quickly said: "Okay, I'll treat you to a nice meal next time."
Seeing that Ge Youcai was "glad" away by Lu Yiming with just one look, Long Wu was actually quite panicked.
As the saying goes, those who come without good will never come. Lu Yiming was able to make Ge Youcai lose his temper at all. He is obviously a character with extremely ruthless methods. Moreover, he has such power at such a young age. I am afraid he has a lot of background.
It is very likely that he is the spokesperson for the interests of a certain force.
The more he thought about it, the more restless Long Wu became, and his expression became much more reserved.
Lu Yiming looked at Long Wu, who seemed a little nervous in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Long Wu didn't recognize him, but he recognized Long Wu.
Even though Long Wu's assets had just exceeded 100 million at this time, he was not even ranked among the wealthy people on the southeastern coast. But in three years, he would become famous with the Star River Bay project.
Even in 2004, after the launch of the high-end residential project of Galaxy Bay in Beijing, it established Longwu's status as a high-end luxury home in one fell swoop. In the end, the entire Galaxy Group directly shouted "to build a Rolls-Royce of Xiaguo Real Estate"
"S" slogan.
This move also made him successful in both fame and fortune, and he gradually became a billionaire.
For such a future real estate industry boss, now he had to be cautious in testing for fear of offending himself. Lu Yiming had to admit that he felt quite happy.
No wonder so many people are living in this world, and they all work hard to pursue fame and fortune. It is fame and fortune that has the magic power to make people intoxicated.
Facing such a future industry leader, Lu Yiming said to him calmly at this time: "Long Longban, I came to you today because I want you to do me a small favor. Of course, this favor is not in vain.
Help, I will give you benefits."
After all, Long Wu had been working hard in the mall for many years. He did not agree to Lu Yiming outright, but asked tentatively: "I wonder what kind of help Mr. Lu wants me to do?"
Lu Yiming smiled and then made the request: "It's very simple. I want Shi Hengliang to go bankrupt. This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
When Long Wu heard that he only made Shi Hengliang bankrupt, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone: "It's a small matter. Since Mr. Lu thinks highly of me, Mr. Long, I am naturally willing to help."
As for the feud between Lu Yiming and Shi Hengliang, Long Wu didn't care at all and didn't want to care.
Shi Hengliang is just one of his company's many suppliers, not even the most important one. And his company is Shi Hengliang's big customer. He can directly determine the amount of goods he purchases from Shi Hengliang.
The life and death of Shi Hengliang.
Seeing that Long Wu agreed so simply, Lu Yiming felt very comfortable, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Boss Long, I won't let you work in vain, so be it, I know you are short of money now, and your Galaxy Bay project,
I am very optimistic about it. If you are willing, I can invest 100 million in cash for you."
After hearing this, Long Wu was stunned on the spot. It was true that Lu Yiming's move was only 100 million, which made him a little at a loss.
Don't look at his total assets of 100 million, but that's just net worth, it doesn't mean that he can really spend 100 million in cash!
In order to promote the Planet River Bend project, he has recently been in contact with major banks to discuss loan matters. However, the banks believe that his project is too advanced and carries huge risks, so the loan has not been approved for a long time.
Just this one thing almost drove him to collapse, and he was so worried that his hair fell out every day.
After all, what those involved in real estate fear most is not being able to borrow money from banks.
