Chapter 2085 He's really rich!
Chen Yong said, "All I know is that it's a folk martial arts school with a rather old-fashioned style. They are very powerful and wealthy. However, most of their people don't know much about business and are very cautious in their actions."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Meishao, Shiyin, what did you find out?"
Qi Meishao said, "The Kitchen Knife Sect is very domineering in Saihe. Over the years, they have acted in a seemingly law-abiding manner, but in reality, they have done a lot of things that are against the rules and made a lot of money because the emperor is far away."
Luo Shiyin said, "This old man is very rich, and... his money is in our Dasheng Group's bank."
Luo Shiyin smiled as she said this: "President Lu, guess how many there are?"
"How many?"
"More than two billion."
Lu Chengwen's eyes lit up: "So rich! Haha!"
Luo Shiyin said, "Their financial management approach is very simplistic. It's typical that they don't understand it and know they don't understand it, so they sign a very conservative guaranteed return agreement with the bank, which allows them to receive more than 100 million in dividends every year. Oh, it's possible that they also have deposits in other banks. Judging from their investment charts and habits, this is highly likely."
Lu Chengwen pinched Luo Shiyin's cheek: "My dear Shiyin, you've made great progress!"
"Oh dear, we're in a meeting."
Lu Chengwen said, "Now that we've acquired that land, shouldn't we move on to the next step according to the plan?"
"Yes, we need to discuss things like the cruise ship's advertising, the approval documents for the simple berthing port here, and the berthing and operating permits."
"Let's get the cruise ships started first."
Lu Chengwen made the decision and then asked, "What's the next step?"
"The hotel industry."
Chen Mengyun smiled and said, "Xiangyun needs to be expanded, and it needs a good location, preferably... near the inner sea."
Lu Chengwen was very depressed.
"That's very difficult to approve."
"That's why I'm looking for you," Chen Mengyun said. "And after checking, I found out that the best hotel land near the inner sea has already been leased by the Kitchen Knife Sect."
Lu Chengwen was stunned: "How do they have so much land!?"
Chen Mengyun opened the file: "Originally, a businessman leased the land, intending to build a large seafood wholesale complex, a seaside hotel, and some seaside villas in the inner sea. However, he went bankrupt. He still had the land use rights, but he didn't have the money to develop it. So, the land was sold off cheaply and subleased."
Chen Yong said, "But land is not allowed to be sublet easily. He used some...not-so-clean methods to succeed. Before we negotiated with the Kitchen Knife Gang, we contacted the relevant departments and obtained a subletting permit before we went to talk to them."
Luo Shiyin asked, "Then why not approve two documents together and negotiate this one as well?"
"Uh……"
Lu Chengwen said solemnly, "That would be too difficult to negotiate. If we both target each other's two plots of land, the Kitchen Knife Sect will definitely raise the price on the spot, and they will also realize the connection between the two plots and discover their value."
Chen Yong nodded: "Yes, I was also afraid of alerting them, so I wanted to get the first piece of land sorted out first. But... things will be easier now that President Chen is here. This piece of land can be negotiated by President Chen himself."
Lu Chengwen said with a smile, "If she succeeds in negotiating, then it will become an asset of Xiangyun Group."
Chen Yong laughed too: "Anyway, they're our own people."
Lu Chengwen slapped his thigh: "Help Mengyun get the hotel land!"
Chen Mengyun jumped up and hugged Lu Chengwen's neck to kiss him, she was so excited.
Lu Chengwen suddenly felt guilty.
[This silly girl, she's lost so much money following me for over a year, and she's so excited about this hotel land.]
[Xiangyun Group was expanding rapidly under her management, but because of me, its development has stagnated for over a year, and it has also accumulated a large debt to the bank.]
This project! I'll do anything to get it done for her!
Chen Mengyun smiled as she looked at Lu Chengwen and touched his face: "Sometimes, I really feel like you've become a completely different person."
"how?"
"Hmm...you're more considerate of people than before."
Lu Chengwen smiled faintly and took her hand: "I can't be a spoiled brat forever and keep bullying you."
Chen Mengyun nodded: "I like the way you care about me."
At this moment, Hua Xuening called, very alert: "Hello, Master! Something's happened."
"what's the situation?"
"There are ancient martial arts practitioners near the building, and they're all keeping an eye on Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian."
Lu Chengwen immediately tensed up: "Did they find out on their own?"
"They must have discovered them, and they're currently trying to shake them off."
"What's wrong, Cheng Wen?"
Lu Chengwen thought for a moment and said, "Ah... I understand. Zhao Tie didn't go to the toilet, he did... Hehe, that's funny."
Lu Chengwen quickly began to give instructions:
"Mengyun, contact the Kitchen Knife Sect immediately and discuss that piece of land. I will help you. Also, find someone to survey and measure it, and start working on the preliminary design."
"That requires a huge investment."
"Do."
Lu Chengwen looked out the window: "The Kitchen Knife Sect is no good. Not only did they break the rules, but they've also done a lot of bad things. They're as ruthless as a big organization when it comes to making money. They deserve to be slaughtered!"
Lu Chengwen gave some instructions and quickly called Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian, telling Zhao Gang to leave immediately.
……
With Hua Xuening and Zhuge Xiaohua providing cover, shaking off several people was a breeze.
The three brothers got back into the car, started it, and drove out of the mall.
The strategist was utterly puzzled when he saw them return to the car, and could only order everyone to drive after them.
Lu Chengwen's driving skills have always been good. After driving around in circles for a while, he returned to the Kitchen Knife Sect.
The car was stable, and Lu Chengwen got out, looking very pleased with himself.
The other four cars also drove back one after another. After they came to a stop, the strategist practically jumped out of the car and rushed over:
"Xiaowen! Where did you all run off to? Do you know you've delayed something important?"
Lu Chengwen smiled slightly: "What's the big deal?"
The strategist sneered: "You were planning to abscond with the money, but you discovered me halfway and turned back. Don't think I didn't know!"
"Absconding with the money?"
Lu Chengwen laughed: "Ritian, confront him."
Zhao Ritian came over and pointed at the strategist: "You damn idiot, you dog-like bastard, you're no human being..."
Long Aotian quickly pulled him back: "That's not how you talk back."
The strategist roared in fury: "How dare you, Xiao Zhao! How dare you insult me like this! Today I will take your life!"
At that moment, someone shouted, "Stop!"
Everyone looked over, and there stood the young sect leader at the door, his face stern: "What's going on?"
The strategist clasped his hands in a salute: "Young Master, these three men attempted to abscond with the funds today, but I caught them. Not only were they arrogant and domineering, they also insulted me!"
The young sect leader immediately glared and shouted, "This is outrageous! Guards! Cut off one hand from each of them!"
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Chengwen raised his hands and walked up to the young sect leader: "Sect leader, may I speak to you in private?"
The junior sect leader pushed Lu Chengwen aside: "Speak your mind, or shut up."
Lu Chengwen scratched his mouth and muttered in a low voice, "A deal worth tens of millions... I wanted to ask for your opinion... If you're not interested, then I'll talk to the old sect leader first."
The young sect leader was taken aback: "Hmph! Come with me."
He turned around and pointed: "Don't move!"
