Chapter 2088 Deceiving Chen Mengyun

Lu Chengwen's words were so eloquent that even the young sect leader panicked.

Is this even going to work?!

That works!?

The sect leader was very serious; he felt that Lu Chengwen was lying.

He's my own son, surely I know him, even if others don't? All he knows is playing with cars and women, how can he talk business?

"Son, tell me, is this true?"

The young sect leader also regained consciousness at this moment.

If things have come to this point, retreating further would truly make one a coward.

“Father, Xiangyun Group is very wealthy and has a very deep connection with Lu Chengwen’s Dasheng Group! I’ve heard that they have a very close personal relationship, and many people say that Lu Chengwen and Chen Mengyun were betrothed by their respective families since childhood.”

"If Chen Mengyun is willing to invest, we can make a fortune just from the villa complex alone, let alone anything else!"

The sect leader snorted, "In a godforsaken city like this, how many people can afford a villa complex? Is she crazy to build a villa complex here?"

"This……"

Lu Chengwen said, "Sect Leader, Lu Chengwen wants to build a large shopping mall here, and Chen Mengyun wants to build a villa complex here... I think the commercial collaboration between Xuecheng and Saihe is probably based on their internal intelligence! Otherwise, wouldn't it be throwing money into the sea if these large companies came here to invest in advance? We have to seize the opportunity and squeeze them for a fortune!"

The sect leader nodded and looked at Xiao Wen: "How did you two negotiate?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Chen Mengyun is still undecided and hesitant. If it's a villa complex plus a resort hotel, then 30 million in investment is not enough; it would need at least 80 million! But we plan to have her invest more!"

The sect leader was taken aback: "Let him invest 180 million?"

"No!" Lu Chengwen said, "Let him invest 1.08 billion!"

The sect leader was shocked, his eyes gleaming: "What nonsense are you spouting, ten billion eighty million!"

"No nonsense!"

Lu Chengwen said, "I've seen the topographical maps over there. As long as the exploration passes and the geology is acceptable, I can let her invest 1 billion! 80 million!"

The sect leader thought for a moment: "How much will we get?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Sect Leader, it's ten billion! A ten billion deal! Do we still need the money?"

"Then let's..."

"Give it to her!"

"Eh!?"

Lu Chengwen quickly said, "What we want are shares! And real houses!"

"We...we want a house?"

"Yup!"

Lu Chengwen said, "Let Chen Mengyun handle it first, design it, calculate it, coordinate it... Once she comes up with a plan, we should at least ask her for shares and houses worth one or two hundred million, right? We should have two or three seaside villas, right? They should be large, in good locations, with great views, and high market value."

"As for Xiangyun Hotel, how can we not have some shares? At least five percent of the shares, is that too much to ask? If Xiangyun Hotel's annual turnover doesn't exceed one hundred million, we might as well not run it at all!"

The sect leader was still worried: "But... how can such a small city generate such high tourism revenue? One hundred million?"

“I’m always keeping quiet,” Lu Chengwen said. “Besides, if they lose money, it’s her who loses; we’re just shareholders. If she can’t keep the hotel going, we’ll buy it.”

"No way...why would we acquire it if it's not profitable?"

"After the acquisition, it just rotted there!"

The sect leader was dumbfounded: "I don't understand at all."

"If you dare to leave it in ruins, the government will have to take care of it! The government will have to allocate funds and find ways to carry out secondary development, or turn it into a seafood trading market, or into a government office building or something, in short, they will have to spend money!"

"Is...that possible?"

"This is assuming the returns aren't good. What if the returns are good? We could be making hundreds of millions or even millions every year, and we still wouldn't have to do anything. That piece of land is just sitting there doing nothing; it's worthless if no one invests in it! If she's willing to invest a billion, we're just making money off her!"

"Would she invest a billion?"

"Only a fool would invest a billion here!"

"Hey Xiaowen, why does the way you talk always sound so awkward to me?"

"Sect Master! This was the Young Sect Master's idea..."

"Talk about it."

"Chen Mengyun is still in a period of hesitation. She has money, but she's still struggling with whether to invest and how much to invest. At this time, we need to do something!"

"What to do?"

"Trick her! Get her to vote!"

The sect leader sat back down, clearly not believing it: "You can con someone out of ten billion?"

"That's enough."

"It's not Xiaowen, you fucking..."

"Sect Master, please calm down," Lu Chengwen said. "No one can guarantee anything about this, but as long as we do it, we're halfway to success. What if we succeed? Even if we don't have a billion, five hundred million will do! That piece of land isn't in a good location either; it's far from the dock, there's no road, it's all mud pits. We're useless with it!"

The sect leader pondered for a moment: "If I were to entrust this task to you, what do you think the success rate would be?"

"The success rate is zero."

The sect leader laughed: "I knew it!"

"But if the junior sect leader goes out to negotiate first, and then you, sect leader, finally step in after much coaxing and make the decision, I think it's probably feasible! After all, she originally wanted to build a resort!"

The sect leader looked at his son: "Him!? Are you sure!?"

"That's right! The young sect leader has inherited your talent and is very capable too!"

The sect leader looked at his son and laughed: "Xiao Wen, are you... so eager to make a name for yourself that you've lost your mind? I know my son well. He's always been unreliable, but when it comes to having fun, no one can beat him."

"Sect Leader! Only those who know how to have fun can do business. For some people, doing business is just playing around!"

The sect leader thought for a moment and said, "I understand about this. Hmm. You all go back and rest. I will talk to Chen Mengyun alone."

"Sect Master, you mustn't!"

The strategist angrily retorted, "What do you mean? Is the sect leader inferior to any of you?"

"Of course, the sect leader is stronger than us, stronger than all of us combined. But precisely because of this, the sect leader must not directly intervene!"

"why?"

"You are the pillar of strength for the Kitchen Knife Sect! You are our last trump card! You are the one who ultimately makes the final decisions and determines the overall strategy!"

The sect leader said, "So..."

“If you go directly, what will Chen Mengyun think? We’re in a hurry, we really want to close this deal. Then she’ll have her hands on us, and when it comes to negotiating the price, there’ll be no room for negotiation or buffer! It’s most suitable for the junior sect leader to go. In the end, if we’re just one step away from reaching an agreement, you can step in again, and with your rich experience, top-notch wisdom, great personal charm, and exquisite negotiation skills… won’t that solve the problem?”

The sect leader sat back down, feeling smug and self-satisfied.

He nodded, looking at his son: "Son, I never thought you'd finally grow up."

The young sect leader was very honest: "I've only just started out. I was quite surprised too."

The sect leader slapped the armrest: "Alright! It's settled then! You go first, and Xiao Wen and the others will assist you in convincing Chen Mengyun!"

The strategist shrugged: "Me? What am I supposed to do?"
