Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
I dont know yet, but Im guessing I wont be able to partic.i.p.ate. At his value, the smallest project will cost hundreds of millions.
Old Sun, your brother is my brother. Why dont I arrange this meal today? What do you think?
Huh? Youll arrange it? You dont even know my boss. Whats the point of that?
Our companys development prospects are quite good now, but if we want to expand, we have to raise funds. Can we take this opportunity to hook up with your boss and get him to invest some money?
Stop, stop, stop. Dont talk about this. Sun Jian said.
If we really do that, wouldnt it be equivalent to asking my boss for money?
You cant say that. These are two separate matters. Li Qingyuan said.
When the time comes, Ill pa.s.s him a proposal. If he thinks its okay, hell invest. If its not, forget it. Youll just act as a matchmaker. The rest will be handled professionally.
Sun Jian thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
Although the company was not big, its development prospects were indeed good. If Boss invested, it might really be profitable for him.
I can pull strings, but 1 wont put in a good word for us.
Dont worry about that. Well use our strength to speak. We wont do anything sneaky, Li Qingyuan patted his chest and promised.
Lets settle this first, but dont join this initial meal. If you do itll just seem like you want his money.
Alright, alright, alright. Ill listen to Brother Jian.
Ring ring ring!
Just as the three of them were talking, Sun Jians phone rang.
Boss, are you here yet?
Im at your office. Come down quickly.
Alright, 111 go down now.
Sun Jian put out the cigarette in his hand and said to Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming,
Ill talk to you guys later. I wont be coming back in the afternoon.
Wait for us. Lets go down and see this big shot in all his glory.
F*ck, you guys are practically lackeys.
The three of them went downstairs together and saw Lin Yis car at the entrance of the company.
At the same time, Lin Yi got out of the car.
Seeing Lin Yi, Sun Jian went up to him happily.
However, Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming began to mutter.
Whats going on? Such a rich person is only driving a Lexus 570? Li Qingyuan said.
Its indeed a little strange. Logically speaking, at his level, it should be a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. Moreover, he has no driver. Based on first impressions, it seems like hes even inferior to your father. Liu Guangming said.
Do you think Old Sun was just bragging?
Didnt he say that one of his cla.s.smates saw it with his own eyes? It cant be fake, right? Li Qingyuan said suspiciously.
But looking at his posture, he doesnt look like someone who lives in a villa worth more than a billion yuan.
Indeed. That car of yours is worth more than a million dollars. Its not any cheaper than his Lexus.
Alright, lets not discuss this for now. Lets go take a look.
The two of them quickened their pace and caught up with Sun Jian.
Boss, let me introduce you. Sun Jian said.
This is our companys boss, Li Qingyuan. This is another one of my colleagues, Liu Guangming.
h.e.l.lo.
Lin Yi reached out and shook hands with the two of them to show his friendliness.
Boss, its not easy for you to come here. Stay here for a few more days this time. Ill bring you around.
Ill be really staying here this time. I dont think Ill be able to return for a while.
How big is the project? Why all this trouble?
Im not here to handle any projects. Im here for poverty alleviation.
Huh? Poverty alleviation?
The three of them were stunned, not understanding what Lin Yi meant.
In Yuhang City is Dongsan County. Im the director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation there, so Ill be in Yuhang City for the time being.
Huh? Director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation?
Boss, arent you a businessman? Why did you join politics?
How can doing business be as interesting as this? If we succeed, our names will be forever recorded in history.
Sun Jian smacked his lips and felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that Boss had lost money doing business?
Otherwise, why would he come here to help the poor instead of being a business magnate?
Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming had the same thought.
If his business is doing well, with his wealth, he wouldnt be driving a car worth just over a million yuan. Moreover, he didnt even have a driver. That was too frugal.
Boss, youre the best. After doing business, you even came to help the poor. Ill never submit to anyone in my life. Ill only submit to you.
Im just messing around. I have nothing else to do. Youre not bad yourself. Youre already a partner of the company. Do you need an investment? Ill invest some for you.
Thats so embarra.s.sing. Its as if Im asking you for money. Sun Jian said embarra.s.sedly.
However, our companys development prospects are indeed quite good. When the time comes, Ill get the two of them to write a proposal. Take a look and invest if you think its suitable.
Old Sun, forget it. Li Qingyuan said.
Were not outsiders. Well just find someone else to invest in us.
Huh? Thats not what the two of you said just now. You even said that you wanted me to be the middleman. Why are you changing your mind now?
The situation has changed. If your boss is still the same as before, I definitely wouldnt be so polite. However, now that his ident.i.ty has changed, theres no need for him to take risks with me. It wont be good if he loses again.
Sun Jian,???
What do you mean?
Li Qingyuan pulled Sun Jian aside and whispered,
Why are you so slow? Cant you tell whats going on with your boss?
Isnt the situation quite good? Whats wrong?
From what you said just now, if your boss really lives in a villa worth more than a billion yuan and has a dock, why would he drive a car worth only a million yuan? Moreover, he doesnt even have a driver. Dont you think its a little shabby? Li Qingyuan said.
Thats right. Besides, you just said that your boss has luxury cars like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, but he didnt drive them this time. Perhaps theres a problem with the companys operations and he sold the car to pay off his debt. If we ask him for money and investments now, it wont be right. Liu Guangming said.
Moreover, look at him now. Hes already left to be the director of the poverty alleviation office. This means that he wants stability and doesnt want to take risks. If the company doesnt develop in the future, wont his money be wasted? You guys are so close. Im too embarra.s.sed to take an investment from him.
Sun Jian did not say anything. He felt that what the two of them said made sense.
Although a car worth more than a million yuan was not cheap, it was indeed not compatible with Boss supposed net worth. Perhaps there really was a problem with his business.
In that case, he really couldnt let Boss invest so freely.
You guys are right.
After replying, Sun Jian returned to Lin Yi. Boss, theres no need to invest.
Lets go eat first. That new barbeque shop is especially delicious.
Uh, are you sure you dont need it? Logically speaking, with your companys
current scale, its the time to external investors to come in..
