Chapter 559 Lu Yiming and Lin Shuyi
"Extra! The youngest richest man wants to build the tallest building in Xia Country"
""Showing off or really having strength? Three questions about the tallest building in Xia country""
""Jingwan Group + Xiaguo's richest man, is it a strong alliance or flattery?""
""Xia Country's richest man may marry the daughter of Jingwan Group. Can he lead Jingwan Group out of the quagmire?""
All kinds of outrageous headlines appear in the media, which are even more clickbaity than clickbait.
Things like the best of something are always easy to cause discussion. For example, everyone knows that the highest peak in the world is Mount Everest, but few people know what the second highest peak in the world is.
The news that Lu Yiming was going to build the tallest building in Xia Country attracted much attention from the outside world. Besides the fact that the matter itself was very topical, it was also related to the fact that the previous Giant Building was aborted halfway.
After all, Brother Zhu was known as the richest man at the time, and when he was at his most proud, he wanted to build the most awesome building for himself.
As a result, the capital chain was broken, the unfinished building is still there, and Brother Zhu has not even paid off his debts.
In the news, not only Lu Yiming received attention, but also the construction contractor Jingwan Group, which was mentioned many times and gained a lot of exposure. Especially when they knew that the current manager of Jingwan Group, Lin Shuyi, was still a beauty in her twenties, the gossipers immediately linked her with Lu Yiming and hyped up the CP to attract attention.
After all, Lin Yuantao was the richest man in Baiyun before, and Lin Shuyi was only a few years older than Lu Yiming, and it was said that the two had a good relationship, so this operation looked very real and deceived many people.
In the company, on the desk in front of Lu Yiming, there was a map of Baiyun City. He and Li Yiwen were looking for an ideal location to build a building.
"I just read in the newspaper, many people are saying that you are going to marry into the Lin family."
Lu Yiming looked disdainful and said, "I just want to build a building. I am much richer than the Lin family. Why would I marry into the Lin family?"
Li Yiwen smiled and said, "You can't say that. The Lin family has tens of billions of assets after all, and Lin Yuantao only has one daughter, Lin Shuyi. If you marry her, won't all these belong to you in the future? Aren't you tempted? Tens of billions of assets."
Lu Yiming said calmly: "A mere 10 billion, I don't even care about it."
It has only been two or three years since Lu Yiming was reborn, but his current net worth is unimaginable. In the future, trillions of assets will be gone in a blink of an eye. Making money is not a big deal for Lu Yiming now. Therefore, Lu Yiming does not look down on these 10 billion assets, but he is not pretending.
Li Yiwen thought about Lu Yiming's rise to fame, especially the first time Lu Yiming transferred US dollars into his account, which scared him to death. It has only been a short time, and Lu Yiming doesn't even care about the millions of assets. Li Yiwen couldn't help but shake his head.
This life is really magical.
After a moment of deep emotion, Li Yiwen asked, "How is it going? Have you chosen a place?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I've chosen it."
He took the pencil in his hand, drew a circle on the map, and said, "It's right here."
Li Yiwen was surprised when he saw it. "Wow, Zhujiang New Town? You can get the land?"
If the economic development of Nanwan is just a trial run by the government in promoting economic development, then Zhujiang New Town is undoubtedly the ultimate test.
This is one of the three national-level central business districts in Xiaguo. The other two are in Beijing and Shanghai Lujiazui, and are highly anticipated by the government.
The regional functional positioning of Zhujiang New Town is mainly to serve the entire Pearl River Delta Economic Zone. It is a highly concentrated area of headquarters economy and high-end industries such as finance, technology, and business in South China.
Some real estate tycoons from Hong Kong are allowed to invest in Nanwan, but not everyone can come to Zhujiang New Town because there is an invisible "threshold".
I don’t know how many real estate companies wanted to get a piece of the pie, but were rejected by the authorities.
Lu Yiming recalled this incident and couldn't help but sigh: "I was just testing the waters at the time, but I didn't expect Shi Jinhua to agree directly and told me that he would do the work in Tongshi. I can only say that people who work hard will be rewarded."
There is no doubt that Lu Yiming has gained official recognition with his good reputation and clear patriotic stance.
Otherwise, how could he get a chance to chew on such a piece of fat meat as Zhujiang New Town?
"Are you sure that money talks?"
"Who are you calling a ghost?"
"Myself."
"That's more like it."
The two brothers smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
The future Zhujiang New Town will be the place with the highest concentration of skyscrapers over 300 meters in Xiaguo, and also the area with the highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in Baiyun District. It will have 13 headquarters of multinational corporations, 3 headquarters of Fortune 500 companies, 184 project agencies established by 140 Fortune 500 companies, and 20 domestic Fortune 500 companies.
There are 118 Grade A office buildings in the jurisdiction, 48 buildings with operating income exceeding RMB 1 billion and tax revenue exceeding RMB 100 million, and 15 buildings with tax revenue exceeding RMB 1 billion!
By 2016, the output value here will reach 270 billion yuan, ranking first in the country, nearly 100 billion yuan higher than the second-ranked Beijing CBD.
What is a Feng Shui treasure land?
This is called a Feng Shui treasure land!
It can be said that 70% of the wealth of the entire southeast coast is concentrated here, and every inch of land is truly worth a lot of money.
Li Yiwen asked: "What about the land price? How much will you give me?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "They granted me 70,000 square meters of land, and each square meter cost less than 500 yuan, which is basically like giving it away for free. The government is still very sincere in this regard."
In 2022, the housing price in Boya Bay, the community closest to the Little Slender Waist, was close to RMB 100,000 per square meter.
Li Yiwen thought about it and said, "Even if it's only sold for 500 yuan per square meter, there won't be many buyers who can pay 30 or 40 million yuan in cash at once, not to mention that you have to pay for the building yourself. By the way, have you got the design drawings?"
Lu Yiming said, "Not yet. How can it be so fast? A 100-story building will take a lot of time just to design. I've given it to Lin Shuyi and Zhang Jinlai to handle. When they have the results, they will report to me."
Li Yiwen joked: "Good fellow, it's only been a few years and you've already incorporated Jingwan Group into the family. You're not marrying into the family, you're taking in..."
"Nonsense, do you think I am that kind of person?"
“No.”
"That's it."
"You are."
“…”
Li Yiwen also felt emotional, thinking that he and others had to rely on Lin Shuyi's protection in the past, but now the situation has changed and it is the Lin family that needs Lu Yiming's support.
Sanhe Group, Chairman’s Office.
Both Yang Guoqiang and his daughter Yang Ziyan looked unhappy. The revival of their competitor Jingwan Group was not good news for Sanhe Group.
Yang Ziyan was extremely unhappy and said, "Where did the Lin family get such bad luck that it could help Lin Shuyi turn things around?"
Yang Guoqiang sighed and said helplessly: "This may be God's will. When Lu Yiming started from humble beginnings, it was Lin Shuyi who lent a hand and continued to support him. Now that Lu Yiming has become the richest man, he naturally has to return the favor. It can only be said that the Lin family was not destined to die."
Lu Yiming's rise was so fast that people couldn't react.
Who would have thought that such a young man could get to where he is today? And at such an incredible speed. So he didn't have time to make connections. Now that Lu Yiming has become the richest man, it would be too difficult for him to get close to him.
Therefore, many people envy Lin Shuyi, envious of her early ties with the interests of the richest man Lu. This is also the basis for everyone to hype that Lu Yiming and Lin Shuyi are going to be together.
Yang Ziyan was still a little unwilling: "Dad, are we Yang family just giving up? In business, as long as our Sanhe Group shows enough sincerity, we will surely be able to impress Mr. Lu. He has earned such a huge fortune at such a young age. I don't believe he really only loves beauty and not the country. The cooperation between them is just spread by the outside media. Maybe it's just wishful thinking of the Lin family. After all, Mr. Lu hasn't said anything yet."
Yang Guoqiang pondered for a moment and said, "You have a point. There is no official document leaked by the two parties yet, nor has there been any official news about cooperation. You can go and test Mr. Lu. If you can grab this project, Jingwan Group will be completely defeated and will never be able to recover."
"Um."
Of course Yang Ziyan understood this principle very well.
On that day, she called together the company's senior executives, made a business plan, and went to find Lu Yiming with full confidence.
This time, she was determined to establish a good relationship with Lu Yiming even if she didn't make any money. As long as she could squeeze Jingwan Group and Lin Shuyi out of this project, it would be a victory. As long as she could achieve this goal, it didn't matter even if she lost some money.
In Zhonghai, Lu Yiming, who had just got off the plane, was enjoying delicious food with Li Quanwang when he suddenly received a call.
The other party introduced himself.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. I am Yang Ziyan from Sanhe Group. We met at Jingyunju not long ago."
Yang Ziyan?
Lu Yiming frowned slightly, wondering why Yang Ziyan suddenly called him.
"Oh, it's you. Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Yang Ziyan said: "Mr. Lu, our Sanhe Group is a well-known enterprise in the industry. I heard that you are going to build the tallest building in the country. I wonder if we can have the honor to talk to you about cooperation in this regard?"
When Lu Yiming heard that it was about building a building, he said, "Ah, I've returned to Zhonghai. I've entrusted the building to General Manager Lin of Jingwan Group. If you have anything to say, you can talk to her. I'm having dinner here, so I'll hang up now."
Yang Ziyan became anxious when she heard this. Sanhe Group originally wanted to kick Jingwan Group out, and Lu Yiming asked her to talk to Jingwan Group. What was the point of talking about that?
"Don't be like this, Mr. Lu. We are very sincere."
However, Lu Yiming ignored what Yang Ziyan said and hung up the phone directly.
"Hello...Mr. Lu...Hello?"
Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Yang Ziyan stomped her feet in anger.
She really couldn't understand how Lu Yiming could just let go of such a big thing and go back to college.
You know, this is a huge project with a total investment of more than 8 billion yuan, and it's all self-funded. If it were herself, Yang Ziyan felt that she would want to live on the construction site and keep an eye on it every day, for fear that something unexpected would happen and her money would be wasted.
Go to college?
Which university can help you earn 10 or 8 billion?
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming continued to have dinner with Li Quanwang.
Li Quanwang said, "Is it about building a building again? Didn't they hand it over to Jingwan Group? Why are these people still not stopping?"
Lu Yiming complained, "Yeah, I was so annoyed that I just threw the matter to Lin Shuyi and Zhang Jinlai to deal with it and stayed out of it. I didn't expect that the call would still come to me. These real estate guys are really well-connected."
Li Quanwang asked, "You invested billions into this building. Do you really not need to keep an eye on it yourself?"
Lu Yiming said earnestly, "If I have to worry about everything myself, then it would be too tiring for me as a boss. When doing business, especially when it reaches a certain scale, you have to learn to focus on the big and let go of the small. It is enough to focus on the financial part. There is no need to give orders for other things. Moreover, Jingwan Group is struggling on the brink of death. My project is their lifeline. If they do well, they may continue to be the richest man in Baiyun. If they don't do well, they will never be able to turn things around. So Lin Shuyi is probably more nervous than I am now. Why should I join in the fun?"
Unlike those self-made entrepreneurs in China, Lu Yiming is actually more like an investor with a lot of money in his hands.
Therefore, Lu Yiming does not have much desire to control the companies he invests in and holds, and he rarely gives orders personally. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals.
But there are too many bosses who like to do some outrageous things, which makes investors like Lu Yiming look very different.
Li Quanwang seemed to understand Lu Yiming's teachings, but not quite.
He was originally a poor student at the bottom of society. He had not learned even the most basic textbook knowledge very well, and he had no business acumen at all. Talking to him about these things was like talking to a cow.
However, Lu Yiming did not expect Li Quanwang to start any business. After all, they were best brothers. As long as Li Quanwang did not get involved in pornography, gambling or drugs, the shares of Tongxin Internet Cafe alone would be enough to ensure that Li Quanwang would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
On the other side, Yang Ziyan, who had the call hung up directly, was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"This Lu Yiming is so ungentlemanly! He actually hung up on me. Doesn't he know that hanging up on a girl is very rude?"
After all, she grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, and had a life of luxury since childhood. Almost everyone she met flattered her, not to mention that her peers had always coveted her beauty since childhood, and always spoke to her in a humble manner. It was even more impossible for anyone to hang up on her.
Lu Yiming was probably the first person.
Therefore, Yang Ziyan ignored Lu Yiming's identity as the richest man and felt that Lu Yiming did something wrong.
However, after all, she was someone who could compete with Lin Shuyi on the same stage, so she naturally couldn't be a big-breasted and brainless person. After complaining in her heart, she began to think calmly about how she should deal with the situation in front of her.
After eating, Lu Yiming went back to school. It was just lunchtime, so Lu Yiming called Shi Qingxue and asked her to wait for him downstairs of the teaching building and then go have lunch together.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the teaching building, Shi Qingxue saw Lu Yiming and waved on tiptoe: "Lu Yiming, I'm here."
Lu Yiming walked over and found that there was a girl standing next to Shi Qingxue, so he asked, "Who is this?"
Shi Qingxue said, "This is a senior from the student union, her name is Yu Jiayi, she is a junior this year. She helped me a lot during a student union event before, and I just happened to meet her when I went downstairs today, so I asked her to have a meal. Is that okay?"
"OK."
Of course Lu Yiming would not refuse, and even took the initiative to say: "Senior sister, thank you for taking care of Shi Qingxue."
Yu Jiayi smoothed her bangs, looked intelligent, and said, "You're welcome. We are all classmates, and it's only natural for us to help each other."
"Let's go, what do you want to eat? Do you want me to reserve a table at Wanghailou?"
As he spoke, Lu Yiming took out his cell phone.
Yu Jiayi said: "Don't spend money, it's just a small favor, there's no need to treat us to a meal."
Shi Qingxue said, "How can that be possible? Senior sister, I have a very stubborn temper. If I say I will treat you to a meal, then I will treat you to a meal."
"this……"
Yu Jiayi was so amused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can there be someone like you?"
Shi Qingxue said: "Then let's go to the cafeteria to eat. Let's go, let's go to the third floor of the cafeteria to eat."
The cafeteria was not expensive, and Yu Jiayi had no choice but to agree.
The cafeteria on the first floor
Shi Qingxue found a restaurant with good food and asked Yu Jiayi to order the food.
After ordering four dishes, the three of them found a seat and sat down.
Shi Qingxue said, "I'll go get some food."
"I'll go too. Senior, please wait here. We'll call you back."
"Well, really, you are too polite."
While getting food, Shi Qingxue said to Lu Yiming, "I'm telling you, Senior Sister Yu is so pitiful. I heard that she had to take out a loan from the Education Bureau with her admission letter to pay for her university tuition. When she's not in class, she works part-time outside to earn her living expenses."
Lu Yiming was a little surprised and asked, "Is your family very poor?"
Shi Qingxue curled her lips and said, "How could she be poor? She is a native of Zhonghai and her family was quite wealthy. Although her father passed away early, he left behind a big house and a lot of money."
Lu Yiming felt even more strange: "Why is her life still so tight? Don't tell me this is a test from her family."
