Chapter 634: A Small Capitalist Shock
Facing Lu Yiming's expression, Lin Shuyi seemed to have won in some way. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Of course I know, because he thinks so too."
"Good fellow, you two, father and daughter, are here to mess with me together, right?"
Lu Yiming gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Your father is really awesome. He merged the fruits of his life's labor just like that. His gambling nature is greater than mine. I give in."
He really didn't expect that Lin Yuantao had such determination and courage to bet the future of the Lin family on the success of Yiming Plaza.
Lin Shuyi was even happier and said, "Boss Lu, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. The whole Lin family, young and old, relies on you."
"hiss……"
Lu Yiming took a breath and said slowly: "Can I refuse?"
Lin Shuyi smiled and said, "Obviously, no."
Lu Yiming frowned, feeling that something was wrong: "Have you been plotting against me for a long time?"
Lin Shuyi denied it decisively: "No! It's impossible."
A few days later, Lean Real Estate, which took over the project from the Chen family, once again shocked all its peers.
Jingyi Real Estate completed the feat of swallowing an elephant and merged with Jingwan Group into a new company through equity swap.
The company's equity underwent tremendous changes. Lu Yiming's equity dropped from 52% to 37%, and Shi Qingxue's equity dropped from 27% to 15%. Correspondingly, Lin Shuyi's equity increased from the original 21% to 48%.
Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue also used their equity in Jingyi Real Estate to exchange for a lot of shares in Jingwan Real Estate.
Many people were shocked by Lin Shuyi's decision.
Even Li Yiwen, who was preparing for the wedding, took time out of his busy schedule to call Lu Yiming to ask about it.
"Forget about Chen Jinlan, but how did you get Lin Shuyi? Chen Jinlan was naturally a family task. She wanted to use Lu Yiming to her advantage. They were like a cuckold and a mung bean. They fell in love with each other. But the Lin family is unreasonable."
When Lu Yiming heard what he said, he was immediately unhappy: "Hey, who are you talking about? I don't think this makes sense either. We were having dinner at the time, and I was just joking, but I didn't expect Lin Shuyi to take it seriously. So tell me, what can I do?"
Li Yiwen thought about it carefully and said, "From any angle, Jingwan Group is much more powerful than Jingyi Real Estate. Even if the two sides cooperate, it is normal for Jingyi Real Estate to be swallowed by Jingwan Group. How come Jingwan Group is swallowed by Jingyi Real Estate now? This is not scientific no matter how you look at it. Hey, do you think that Lin Shuyi has taken a fancy to you?"
Lu Yiming immediately denied it, "Nonsense, I sell my art but not my body, okay."
A few days later, Jingyi Real Estate held a celebration banquet in the largest hotel in Yiming Plaza.
The hall, which can accommodate sixty large round tables, is decorated in a festive manner. After all, it is their own hotel , so there is no need to say much about the appearance. The LCD screen on the reception desk plays various achievements of Lean Real Estate, and the background music is upbeat and vigorous. The whole hall is filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Today, after the merger with Jingwan Group, the total assets of Jingyi Real Estate have reached 26 billion. This number seems a lot, but most of it is the accumulation of Jingwan Group over the years , and basically they are real estate such as residential buildings.
However, despite this, this number has exceeded the goal that Lu Yiming had set before. In addition, he has taken over the order from the Chen family. With these two things happening together, it is natural to hold a celebration banquet.
Lu Yiming took the microphone and said calmly to hundreds of employees in the audience: "The development of Jingyi Real Estate in the past two years has been very fast. This is due to everyone's hard work and the brave decision-making and decisive style of the leadership team. Here, I would like to give you verbal praise first."
There was thunderous applause in the hall.
Everyone knows that the success of Jingyi Real Estate today is all due to Lu Yiming's wise decision-making and pioneering spirit, which has led to several successful projects. The funds and connections provided by Lu Yiming played a very important role. But now Lu Yiming gave the credit to them. How can we not applaud such a boss?
Lu Yiming continued, "Maybe everyone doesn't know that when I took over Jingyi Real Estate, I had a bet agreement with General Manager Zhang. Now it seems that General Manager Zhang has completed the task I assigned to him very well. So without further ado, there will be rewards for completing the task. General Manager Zhang, come and see the reward I prepared for you."
Zhang Jinlai stood up from his seat with excitement and walked to Lu Yiming's side. Lu Yiming took out a prepared document from his pocket and said, "This is an equity option grant agreement. As long as you sign it, you can get 5% of the shares of Jingyi Real Estate."
Five percent of Lean Real Estate’s shares!
Seeing this scene, everyone present could no longer sit still.
Based on the value of Lean Real Estate after the merger, this 5% stake is worth 1.3 billion!
We are all wage earners. Have we ever thought that one day we would have such a situation?
Billionaire!
And he is a super billionaire!
This is what top workers are like.
Zhang Jinlai's eyes were filled with tears. He held the option grant document in his hand, feeling a little bit unbelievable. These were shares worth over ten billion yuan, and they were actually given to him just like that?
"Mr. Lu, I..."
Zhang Jinlai felt that the document in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, weighing him so much that he wanted to kneel on the ground.
He wanted to shout out now - I, Zhang Jinlai, have lived a life worth it! Worth it!
Lu Yiming smiled and patted Zhang Jinlai on the shoulder, saying, "I only come to the company a few times a year, and you do all the work, especially the Yiming Plaza project. I heard that you often live on the construction site for several months and don't even go home. You work so hard, I can't just not show some appreciation, right?"
Although that's what I said, it's too...
Zhang Jinlai didn't know what words he should use to express his current mood.
Like other companies - let's not talk about other companies, even when Ge Youcai was in charge of Lean Real Estate, if everyone worked well and worked overtime all night long, the most he could give out was a red envelope of two or six hundred yuan at most.
As a result, when it came to Lu Yiming, he directly issued options. Who could withstand this?
Moreover, these are options after the merger with Jingwan Group, which means that he got 5% of Lean Real Estate and 5% of Jingwan Group.
Zhang Jin said: "Boss Lu, since I am in this position, these are the things I should do."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I told you that as long as the people who work with me are down-to-earth, take initiative, and make suggestions for the common good, I will never treat them unfairly. My goal is to make everyone who works with me a billionaire. And you have a heavy burden now. Not only has our Jingyi Real Estate merged with Jingwan Group, but we have also taken on the task of expanding and building Yiming Plaza. You are in charge of all of this."
With the equity in hand, Zhang Jinlai is now full of energy and immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, from today on, I will eat and live at the construction site and keep a close eye on everything. If there is any problem with the project, I will take responsibility!"
Are you kidding? With an incentive of 1.3 billion, who wouldn’t be excited?
What's more, this is the current value of the company. As the company continues to develop in the future, the value of this equity will also increase. It is not impossible that it will be worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions in the future.
This is a number that working people dare not even imagine!
Let’s put it this way, the interest on this money alone would amount to hundreds of thousands or even millions every month, and it would be impossible to spend it all.
Lu Yiming quickly said, "Not really, not really. If you work so hard in the company, your sister-in-law will have to work hard with me."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Seeing Lu Yiming being so generous, the people present actually had the same idea as Zhang Jinlai, which was to work hard, strive to achieve results, and strive to be the one to receive Lu Yiming's reward next time.
The reward is worth more than 1 billion. Now everyone has no intention of taking advantage. Not to mention taking advantage, even if it is corruption and bribery, how much money can you take in such a company? After all, there are accounting audits every now and then. It is better to work hard. Not to mention the reward of more than 1 billion, even if it is a reward of 18 million, it is fair .
On the way home, Li Yiwen couldn't help but complain, "You're too generous. Five percent. Just give it as you say. Even if it's five ten-thousandths, I think it's too much. The most I can give is a big red envelope of one hundred thousand yuan."
Lu Yiming said calmly, "Talent is priceless. I can't want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat, right? Moreover, Zhang Jinlai is worth the price. Without him, Jingyi Real Estate would not have developed to its current scale. I'm giving away this share just to save myself some trouble."
If you pay enough, even a non-talented person will become a talent.
If you don't pay enough, talented people will become waste.
Lu Yiming has seen many examples like this. Bosses who want everything often end up getting nothing.
Qiandu is the best example. As one of the three Internet giants in Xiaguo, Li Hongyan wanted to be in charge of everything and take all the benefits for himself. The end result was that successful product managers left one after another, and he was unable to retain talent and eventually fell behind.
On the contrary, Alibaba and Tencent know how to share profits and have successfully used the partnership system to make the company full of vitality and desire for expansion.
Lu Yiming has a clear idea of his position . A reborn person is not a god, and he cannot manage every company personally, so he must know how to "share" with his subordinates. Otherwise, why would anyone work for him? Just for that little salary?
What's the point of playing with your life for just a few hundred dollars?
The merger of Jingwan Group and Jingyi Real Estate not only caused a great shock in the real estate circle of Baiyun City, but also had a great impact on the financial market. Some people estimated that this merger caused Lu Yiming's personal assets to surge by 9.1 billion yuan.
On this basis, the Yiming Plaza project newly started by Jingyi Real Estate also attracted attention. Compared with the 1.0 version of Wanda Plaza, which was still in the exploratory stage, Yiming Plaza had more complete supporting facilities and more advanced operating concepts. In comparison, the unfinished Wanda Plaza had become an outdated product.
The success of Yiming Plaza has attracted countless imitators, and the concept of this complex has also become popular.
On this day, Yang Ziyan from Sanhe Group suddenly found Zhao Yanghong and said, "Boss Zhao, don't you have a piece of land in Tianhe District? How about we cooperate?"
Sanhe Group is not small in the real estate circle of Baiyun City, at least it is much larger than the Zhao family. Zhao Yanghong was secretly sad about not getting any benefits from the Chen family, but suddenly he received an olive branch from Sanhe Group, and he felt that after all the difficulties, there was a new hope.
Faced with the olive branch extended by Sanhe Group, Zhao Yanghong pretended to hesitate for a while before agreeing.
"Since Sanhe Group also thinks this kind of integrated project is promising, then I am not unreasonable. We can cooperate, but after all, I provided the land, so the project must be led by us."
In fact, Yang Ziyan had her own plans when she proposed to cooperate with Zhao Yanghong. Facing Zhao Yanghong's aggressive behavior, Yang Ziyan secretly complained that he was greedy, and then said, "It's okay, but there are already many projects of this type, and it's not easy for us to stand out. I think we should imitate Yiming Plaza and use the method of "touching porcelain" to take the opportunity to build momentum and increase our popularity."
This is nothing. Zhao Yanghong has been in the industry for so many years, so he naturally knows the importance of hype. He immediately said, "That's no problem. Do you think we can find an opportunity to call someone to hold a meeting to discuss the details of the cooperation?"
"Yes. Tomorrow morning, then."
The next morning, the two sides met and held a discussion that lasted several hours to determine a plan.
They planned to use hype to increase the popularity of "Hongyang Plaza". Specifically, they first held a press conference and groundbreaking ceremony to announce the strong cooperation with Sanhe Group for joint development. Then they hung slogans and billboards of various world-famous brands on the construction site, making people think that these brands are going to settle in this mall. What's more, they also put up a sign that Lu Furen is also optimistic about it, misleading consumers.
When others see it, the richest man is optimistic?
What are you waiting for? Buy it now, because if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.
Thanks to purchased press releases and vague publicity, Hongyang Plaza did become famous overnight. Many people came to subscribe to shops, and the stock prices of the two companies also increased.
In fact, it is not nonsense to say that the so-called richest man Lu is also optimistic about this place, because the newest Yiming Plaza is just across the street!
Isn’t it that Mr. Lu, the richest man, is optimistic about this piece of land?
However, Zhang Jinlai, who knew the inside story, was furious when he saw the huge slogan. Two large commercial plazas in the same area, not far from each other, were so blatantly trying to collide with each other. It was obvious that Mars was about to collide with the Earth.
Zhang Jinlai quickly called Lu Yiming and told him about this.
Hearing that Sanhe Group came to Yiming Plaza to smuggle him, Lu Yiming was immediately happy: "Good guy, are you so brave?"
Zhang Jinlai said helplessly: "They had already given up on developing the square and were planning to switch to developing real estate, but they didn't expect it to be a feint and now they are targeting us directly."
Lu Yiming didn't think much of this. It was profitable, not bad. Now that Yiming Plaza had started this trend, it was normal for them to change their minds. However, Lu Yiming was still a little surprised about the merchants who would settle in. "You just said that more than a dozen luxury stores in Hong Kong have started cooperation with them? And Li Chaoren's ParknShop?"
Zhang Jinlai suddenly felt distressed and said, "Luxury brands from Hong Kong are still very popular in the mainland. We don't have any connections in this area, so I'm afraid we will be outdone."
As a capitalist world that has just returned to the motherland, Hong Kong has a European and American high-end BUFF in the impression of many people. Hong Kong's luxury brands are roughly equivalent to foreign goods, and mainlanders now love this. After all, most people do not have the ability to go abroad, so going to Hong Kong to experience the capitalist world has become a second-best choice. Now that Hong Kong's luxury brands have entered the mainland, isn't that the warmth of capitalism coming?
Although Zhang Jinlai worked diligently, that was all he could do. Lu Yiming consoled him, "It's okay. I'm here for you. Luxury goods are just a waste of money. If you take them seriously, you'll lose. It's just a collaboration. It's just a matter of me making a phone call."
Regardless of whether Hongyang Plaza could really invite these brands to settle in, Lu Yiming could really invite these brands by calling. He called Bill Gates on the spot and told Bill Gates that he wanted to invite luxury goods and the world's top supermarkets to settle .
As Lu Yiming's "old lover", Bill Gates naturally helped him to make the deal. He directly called the heads of major luxury brands and told them that Lu Yiming was building a shopping mall and invited them to move in.
Now, Lu Yiming has the halo of being the youngest richest man in Xia Country, and his cooperation with Bill Gates has also made Bill Gates earn a lot of money. These old capitalists in Europe and the United States have long been envious. When they heard that Lu Yiming invited them to settle in, how could they sit still? They sent company executives at the director level to Xia Country to discuss the matter of settling in, and the cards were pulled out directly.
Of course Lu Yiming would not refuse such a good thing.
For a time, official representatives of the world's top brands gathered in Baiyun City to discuss with Jingyi Real Estate about moving into Yiming Plaza.
Once this matter was exposed by the media, it immediately gave everyone a little "capitalist" shock.
After all, the Hongyang Plaza across the street claims to have international brands settled in, and the Yiming Plaza over here has people coming from all over the world to seek cooperation.
The show has already clearly revealed the difference.
