Chapter 340 Eastern Hawaii
Shen Junjie never expected that just when he was being polite to Lu Yiming, Lu Yiming would actually want to play with him for real.
Seeing more and more people around, Shen Junjie's face turned red and white, and he lowered his voice: "Lu Yiming, do you really want to do this?"
Seeing him act like this, Lu Yiming curled his lips in contempt: "Isn't what you said funny? You were the one who said you wanted to kneel, how come I was the one who did it the worst?"
"Tsk tsk, your logic is very strange. Why, you don't think that if you secretly guide public opinion, I will give in, and you don't have to pay a price, and you can get my forgiveness? No way? We are all adults, why are you still so naive? If you do something wrong, you must admit it. If you are beaten, you must stand at attention. Didn't your father teach you that?"
Seeing the situation getting increasingly tense, Cao Jingwen stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Lu Yiming, kneeling in public is indeed undignified. He is already a senior in high school, and if he kneels down, he probably won't be able to stay in No. 1 Middle School anymore. There is only one semester left before the college entrance examination, so let him go. I think he has shown some repentance."
Cao Jingwen had a good relationship with Xiao Yuanyuan, and now her good friend Xiao Yuanyuan and Shen Junjie were even closer. She didn't care about Shen Junjie's life or death, she was just afraid that Xiao Yuanyuan would be affected and things would become difficult to resolve.
Shi Qingxue was also a kind person. Although she stood firmly on Lu Yiming's side, she still felt that kneeling was too much for a young man, so she advised him, "Lu Yiming, why don't you just kneel down? You can apologize in other ways. This matter is ultimately a business conflict. Let's talk business."
Lu Yiming actually knew that Shen Junjie would never kneel. After all, he was a young man and it would be a shame for him to save face. He would never embarrass himself in front of so many people.
Moreover, Jingyi Real Estate really needs to sell these lands, so it is not impossible to find the Shen family to be the scapegoat.
Now that Cao Jingwen and Shi Qingxue are pleading for mercy, it is a good opportunity to back off.
All kinds of thoughts went through his mind, and Lu Yiming said, "You don't have to kneel. Don't you just want me to continue talking to your father? We can continue talking."
The people who were watching the fun found that people suddenly stopped kneeling and felt bored and dispersed one after another.
Hearing Lu Yiming's agreement, Shen Junjie breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out his cell phone to call Shen Yiren, as if he was afraid that Lu Yiming would go back on his word.
When the call was connected, Shen Junjie was a little excited thinking that he would own the SLK soon, and his tone was raised a little: "Dad, Lu Yiming agreed to continue the conversation with us... OK."
After a few words, Shen Junjie handed over his phone with both hands, and Lu Yiming took it casually: "Hello, Mr. Shen."
When Shen Yiren heard Lu Yiming's voice, he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you finally answered the phone. My prodigal son is disobedient, and I hope you can be magnanimous and not argue with him. Are you free tonight? I'll set up a few rounds of wine as an apology to Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming shook his head and waved his hands: "Forget about eating. I don't have time. The college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and I have to study hard. Let's talk business. The old houses around Site No. 1 can be sold to you for a price of 170 million."
"One hundred million... seventy million?"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Yiren's jaw dropped in shock.
Because he had previously estimated that he would be able to acquire these scattered plots of land with just over 100 million yuan, Lu Yiming's offer directly increased the amount by 70%, almost doubling it.
Lu Yiming had no expression on his face, but his attitude was quite tough: "Why? Mr. Shen, do you think this price is unreasonable?"
Although this price is extremely expensive compared to half a month ago, people in the circle are already crazier than crazy people when talking about Nanwan.
Shen Yiren hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, do you think we should discuss the price again?"
However, Lu Yiming didn't give him any room for negotiation: "It's up to you whether you want it or not."
"this……"
In the end, Shen Yiren thought about the huge profits from the development of South Bay, and gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I accept it, but I don't have that much cash, I want to pay in installments."
He thought that if Lu Yiming could put aside their past grudges and start cooperation, and if they could continue to cooperate in the future, he would bite his teeth and accept the price. Just consider it as paying for Shen Junjie's previous recklessness, because this was his own son.
When he heard that he had to pay in installments, Lu Yiming of course refused to do it.
Nowadays, those who owe money are the boss. Some debts are more difficult to collect than landing on the moon. He is not a masochist, so why should he find an ancestor for himself?
"Boss Shen, look at what you said. If you can't afford it, don't force it. I never force anything ."
Shen Yiren was helpless, but he still had to put on a smile and said to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu has a great vision. How about this, I will pay part of the cash first, and then use a hotel under my name as collateral. How about we sign the contract at Jingyi Real Estate at noon tomorrow?"
Lu Yiming said: "No problem."
"Okay, then I won't bother Mr. Lu anymore."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming threw the phone to Shen Junjie.
Seeing that the problem was resolved, Shen Junjie breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took Xiao Yuanyuan away.
For him, he never wanted to see Lu Yiming again, and the farther away from Lu Yiming the better.
Although he had just negotiated a deal worth more than 100 million yuan, Lu Yiming remained calm and continued to eat.
Cao Jingwen, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be meeting Lu Yiming for the first time.
We are all high school students, so why do I have to count the money so carefully when buying a record I like, but Lu Yiming can negotiate a deal worth hundreds of millions with others?
"Lu Yiming."
"ah?"
Lu Yiming, who was eating, raised his head, looked at Cao Jingwen, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Cao Jingwen asked curiously: "How much money do you have?"
From the interactions between Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue, she could infer that Lu Yiming was not from an ordinary family. After all, how many people from ordinary families could bring mobile phones to school these days?
However, as she was born in an ordinary family, she actually had a very limited imagination about money. Seeing Lu Yiming talking about hundreds of millions all the time, Cao Jingwen suddenly felt that the whole world had become magical and everything seemed so unreal.
How much is one hundred million?
Deep down in her heart, Cao Jingwen had no idea what was going on.
How many records can you buy with this much money?
Lu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how much money I have."
Cao Jingwen was immediately unhappy when she heard this: "How is that possible? Don't you know how much money you have? If you don't want to tell me, just say it directly. Why are you making up such a lame excuse?"
Lu Yiming sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not lying to you, I really don't know."
Then, in order to avoid Cao Jingwen's misunderstanding, he had to patiently explain to her: "My assets are very complicated. Not only do I have real estate such as houses and shops, but I also hold stocks in many companies..."
"In addition, there are cash reserves that can be circulated. Fixed assets have been increasing in value, and cash income is also changing every moment. So if you want to know how much money I have, I'm afraid I have to find an accounting team to calculate it first. You asked this question, and I'm really troubled. I don't know how to answer you."
Cao Jingwen felt sick after listening to it.
Wow, is this what rich people’s worries are like?
Learning is wasted.
The other side.
In the evening, when Shen Junjie returned home, he was scolded by Shen Yiren again.
"Do you know that because you kicked people away from the party, I spent at least 70 million more. Do you know what 70 million means?"
Shen Junjie lowered his head like a quail and said nothing.
He is also very heartbroken.
This money will be inherited by him in the future.
Although it cost a lot of extra money, at least the problem was successfully resolved. Otherwise, not only would it not be able to take advantage of the development of South Bay to take off, but Longwu might also have had a grudge because of it.
Shen Yiren comforted himself in his heart, and then taught his son a lesson: "I hope you can learn from your mistakes and think twice before doing anything. Don't be willful again. Otherwise, this time you will get tens of millions more, and I will pay for it. What if there is a next time, what about hundreds of millions? Or even your life? What will you do? If you don't use your brain, you will only fall into a bigger pit next time, or even fall into a pit and never climb out."
Shen Junjie nodded in a muffled voice: "Dad, I understand."
In fact, with Shen Junjie's status, there is no need for him to be so humble to Lu Yiming.
But there was nothing he could do. This time he needed Lu Yiming's help, so he was controlled by Lu Yiming.
After all, land resources are scarce in themselves. Whoever controls the resources has the final say, and nothing else can do that.
The next day at noon, Jingyi Real Estate. Zhang Jinlai, who had received the news, had already prepared the venue for them. In order to be professional enough, he even invited Jingyi Real Estate's legal team and cost estimation team to come over.
On both sides of the long oval conference table in the large office were the senior executives of Lean Real Estate, with Lu Yiming sitting at the center on the left.
On the right are representatives of Ren Ai Group headed by Shen Yiren.
Zhang Jinlai even prepared a banner.
"Welcome everyone from Ren'ai Group to Jingyi Real Estate. I am Zhang Jinlai, the business manager of Jingyi Real Estate. This is Mr. Lu, the major shareholder of Jingyi Real Estate. This is..."
Shen Yiren shook hands with everyone one by one, and then introduced the people he brought with him, and the two sides began to enter the formal negotiation stage.
As for this kind of thing, Lu Yiming was not professional, so he did not interrupt and basically just watched.
The negotiation was over in less than half an hour - after all, Lu Yiming had given the price, so it could have been done in five minutes at most. As for why it took almost half an hour, it was because of Lu Yiming's choice of hotel.
Ren'ai Group could not come up with 170 million in cash at once, so it proposed to come up with 100 million in cash and then use a resort hotel as collateral, agreeing to repay the remaining money and interest within half a year, otherwise the hotel would belong to Lu Yiming.
The resort hotel that was mortgaged was located in a seaside forest, a pretty good location, but the two sides spent more than ten minutes arguing over the valuation of the hotel.
In the end, this seaside hotel named "Oriental Hawaii" was mortgaged to Lu Yiming for 37.2 million yuan, plus 132.8 million yuan in cash, in exchange for the relevant rights and interests of several shantytown lands held by Lean Real Estate.
A week later, the authorities organized an auction, which was the much-anticipated auction of the South Bay land.
This land bidding was held at the White Swan Hotel, where celebrities and wealthy people gathered.
Lu Yiming originally didn't want to participate, but Lin Shuyi dragged him over and forced him to be the military strategist and give advice.
Lu Yiming stood in the crowd. Because of his young age and wearing an ordinary suit, he looked inconspicuous. However, Lin Shuyi, who was dressed up and represented Jingwan Group, attracted countless eyes and gazes.
Lin Shuyi greeted others skillfully. They were either senior executives of this company or leaders of that unit. She really interacted with everyone and talked and laughed with great scholars.
Lu Yiming stood next to her, and everyone thought he was Lin Shuyi's deputy and follower.
Despite being ignored like this, Lu Yiming didn't care at all and was even happy about it. In this way, he chatted with strangers he had never met before.
After entering, Lin Shuyi asked quietly: "How does it feel to attend such a grand occasion?"
Lu Yiming yawned: "Now I just feel a little sleepy and want to sleep."
Lin Shuyi was speechless, rolled her eyes and complained: "Are you a pig? All you do is eat and sleep. This kind of important occasion is not something that anyone can attend. Can't you straighten your attitude?"
Lu Yiming blinked at her with an innocent expression: "I had never thought about coming here in the first place. Didn't you force me to come here?"
“…”
Lin Shuyi didn't know what to say about Lu Yiming's "laziness".
This is a circle that business people are trying their best to get into. This kind of high-end social event is so popular that countless people cannot even get it. But Lu Yiming, on the other hand, actually despises it. Even now, he looks listless, as if he has suffered a great injustice.
It’s really infuriating just thinking about it!
As they were talking, there was suddenly a loud noise at the hotel entrance.
Lu Yiming and Lin Shuyi looked towards the door curiously.
Upon closer look, I realized that it was Li Chaoren and his son Li Kai who came.
At the hotel entrance, all those socialites and wealthy people were extremely reserved before, but after seeing Li Chaoren, they all squeezed forward involuntarily and ran to shake hands with Li Chaoren, like crazy fans meeting their idol.
For these so-called wealthy people in the mainland, Superman Li is their idol and guiding light.
After all, the gap between the two sides is too big.
In mainland China today, people with a net worth of over 100 million are considered wealthy, those with a net worth of 1 billion are considered tycoons, and those with a net worth of 10 billion are simply the top of the pyramid. They are extremely rare and you can’t find many of them across the country. There is not even one that is openly displayed!
But now, Superman Li is worth more than hundreds of billions.
What's more, his assets are all exposed to the sun and can be seen and touched!
"Superman Li, Superman Li."
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am..."
Everyone wanted to talk to Li Chaoren. With a smile on his face, Li Chaoren walked into the hotel under the protection of bodyguards.
Seeing the big commotion caused by Superman Li's appearance, Lin Shuyi was envious and said with emotion: "He is indeed worthy of being Superman Li. His influence is really huge."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, even he couldn't deny this: "Indeed, he is too famous."
Lin Shuyi was eager to make a move: "Should we go up and say hello?"
Seeing the crowds of people in front of him, Lu Yiming lazily twisted his neck and said, "No."
At this moment, Li Chaoren walked through the crowd. Lin Shuyi took the opportunity to take a few quick steps and came in front of Li Chaoren. She excitedly stretched out her slender jade hand and introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Li, I am Lin Shuyi from Jingwan Group."
Li Chaoren nodded slightly and responded very officially: "Hello."
At this moment, Li Chaoren saw Lu Yiming walking towards him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He took a big step around Lin Shuyi and smiled and stretched out his hand to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, it's really a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come too."
