It's much easier to be a bad guy than a good guy in a business.

There are few friends in the mainland, and with the excuse of "not being good at socializing with others", Fan Liancheng has encountered fewer bad things.

Since learning how to say no, life has become more comfortable.

For example, in the process of meeting with Ms. Xu, the founder of Today Capital, Fan Liancheng heard the other party's offer of 30 million US dollars, and immediately slapped the table and left, bluntly saying that it would cost less than 30 million US dollars to recreate a company of the same type.

In recent months, due to the lack of strength, the first to start the layout of logistics enterprises, coupled with the continuous growth of the treasure network, to become an industry giant, Jingdong daily order volume to maintain about 4,000, the turnover is pitiful.

In August last year, he just raised $10 million, some of which was a bridge loan.

It has only been four months since the full financing was completed, and the asking price has risen by leaps and bounds to $30 million, and Fan Liancheng's money is not blowing in the wind, and in his eyes, it is obvious that this venture capital peer is insincere.

I was too lazy to waste time and tongue, and arranged a table of dishes at the Dragon City Hotel, and the chopsticks didn't move, so I really left.

After expressing his attitude, he temporarily rushed to Qian Hai to participate in the meeting, and tried to seek financing from the investment department of Longcheng Group, and the company was called Honglong Home.

It began to get involved in the furniture manufacturing industry in the 80s, and later felt that the cost of renting stores was large and unstable, and then embarked on the sales model of acquiring land and building its own shopping malls, reducing intermediate links and reducing transaction costs, and realizing a win-win situation for Red Dragon Home, manufacturers and consumers.

In the 90s, it began to embark on the road of chain expansion, and last year it just began to form a furniture sales model similar to a supermarket, and it is in the stage of rapid expansion, and just got the first financing last year, a private equity investment company in the United States spent 200 million US dollars to get 20 percent of the shares.

Due to the rapid expansion, it is in the stage of sprinting to go public, and this company means that Longcheng Group will take out 1.7 billion yuan, which will also occupy 20% of the company's shares, and the former's shareholding will be diluted.

The first dinner of the night was unhappily dispersed, and this time it was not very smooth, mainly because the real estate field gradually fell into a cold winter, and the home retail market also suffered, both Qian Hai and Fan Liancheng felt that the other party's offer was a bit high.

Qian Hai has no power to make decisions, Fan Liancheng can.

He took a fancy to the large amount of real estate held by the company and felt that it was quite safe, and finally gave an offer of 1.7 billion yuan, accounting for 30% of the shares, which lowered the valuation by a large margin.

It's quite a bit of a robbery while it's hot.

The reason is that Fan Liancheng has read the report given by Qian Hai and knows that the private equity investment company in the United States still has about 80 million US dollars in place, and the other party has asked for performance and signed a VAM agreement, if Honglong Home Furnishing cannot meet the performance requirements, the company has the right to increase its shareholding or convert the funds into high-interest loans.

Correspondingly, Fan Liancheng also made the decision on the spot, mentioning a VAM agreement, not to transfer high-interest loans, but to have the right to increase the proportion of his own equity while the first financier increased its shareholdings.

is also another game, the faces of those on the other side are not very good-looking, but they didn't slap the table and leave like Fan Liancheng, so it is estimated that there is something to talk about.

Of the 1.7 billion yuan it hopes to raise, 400 million will be used to repay short-term loans, and the rest will be used to open six new Red Dragon Home Plazas.

The home furnishing industry is also a part of the downstream of real estate, and Fan Liancheng is more sure to persuade other shareholders to at least account for the majority of votes, so he only cares about his own judgment and does not greet other shareholders......

The Lunar New Year is approaching.

By the end of January, many things had to be delayed, and the employees did not have that spirit to do things.

In early January, the total sales volume of real estate in major cities across the country fell by 13 percentage points, which is certainly due to the decrease in the number of openings, but it is enough to see that something is indeed wrong in the market, and the wait-and-see sentiment has intensified.

The negotiation with Today's Capital was fruitless, and it turned into a mutual exchange and temptation between his subordinates.

The contact with the Red Dragon Home Furnishing Group is still maintained, and Qian Hai of the Investment Department issued a detailed market potential report, which was brought to the board of directors to discuss with everyone, and it was obvious that other shareholders were a little disapproving, but with Fan Liancheng to help speak, the plan was not beaten to death with a stick, mainly depending on the attitude of the Red Dragon Home Furnishing Group.

————————————

Lao Fan applied for parole for family visits, which took three weeks.

Two weeks is because of good performance, and the other week is an excuse to say that there is a business to be busy, involving hundreds of millions of taxes, more than one billion land transfer money, asking people to help dredge the relationship, and getting a little bit of welfare.

A Longcheng group feeds tens of thousands of people, the total annual sales are expected to reach more than 29 billion yuan, and the warehousing tax is expected to reach 4.2 billion yuan, an increase of 119 percent over 06 years, and in 2008, it is expected to start construction of more than 500,000 square meters of real estate, leaping into the position of "Tanhua" of mainland real estate companies.

As the founder of such a company, the confession attitude is good enough, and of course he can win some extra care.

On the 31st.

Fan Liancheng personally went to pick him up, and quietly walked into his mansion next to the golf course.

Seeing a huge machine and the masters who were waiting to start construction, Lao Fan stared at the stone cutting machine, where he couldn't guess what it was for, and said with a smile: "I can really toss, just go to the factory for a trip, and make a special trip to move things over, what kind of yard is made, be careful of neighbors come to complain." ”

Fan Liancheng waited for more than ten days to find the tools he specially found, and he also wanted to know what was inside the stone, so he replied indifferently: "Next year, the turf will be changed, and it will be replaced with the kind of evergreen in all seasons, and it will be pressed." Now it's better to have more than one thing, since you are allowed to stay at home, it's best not to walk around, in case you bump into that enemy, there is really no hope of reducing the sentence, even if anyone has the heart to help you, you can't make it difficult for others. ”

"Oh, this set came out of your mouth, and I finally didn't go to work and exercise in vain. ”

After Lao Fan finished joking, he walked to the big stone in high spirits and leaned against the window to watch.

A master who came with the machine next to him took out a strong flashlight from his pocket and told:

"I just looked, apple green, ice glutinous seeds, if there is enough meat in it, the price of more than 20 million is reasonable, if it is not for a little ringworm, this price can't be taken down, and the element of gambling luck is very large.

There is also a blue water ribbon on the side, and I don't know how long, in case the bosses go deep, they will get rich, even if they only make pendants and rings, the price is high. It is rare to see such a large stone, and it weighed it before, and it is a full five hundred and eighty-eight kilograms. ”

"That's a good number, auspicious. ”

Lao Fan wanted to hear it, and he waited for a few days to hear it.

In fact, if he hadn't seen the cutter, he almost forgot that he had bought this thing, and he has been busy chasing dramas and reading books to pass the time recently, and he feels like he can last three days a day.

He stood up with his hands on his knees, and said superstitiously: "You guys prepare first, I'll go in and take a shower and change clothes, at most half an hour, put a pillar of incense on the God of Wealth and then start cutting, if you go to the shit luck, everyone will be rich today." ”

He rested until the New Year before going back, and Lao Fan was in a very good mood.

After the old man entered the house, Fan Liancheng asked people to put the stone on the cutting machine to fix it first, and continued to talk with the master of the jade carving factory, asking what ringworm is and what is blue water jadeite.

The doorway and knowledge inside, more than Fan Liancheng thinks, listen to the other party said spit stars splashed, tell a hearsay story, learned that the year before last in Yangon, there is a nickname called the Jade King one-size-fits-all rose 400 million, the original stone price is only more than 31 million, he finally knows why when it comes to gambling stones, even the old Fan is interested, is it not the same as going to the casino to play cards, and it seems to be more exciting.

Since it accounts for the gambling word, of course, there are winners and losers.

His own 300 million aircraft, and the yacht with an estimated cost of up to 500 million or 600 million have been set, and he doesn't care about Lao Fan's little fun at all.

Waited left and right, fed the carp by the way, took the Chow Chow Xiaobai to run in the yard, and then let people take it out to tie it away, so as not to be stimulated by the sound of cutting.

Later, I saw my old man come back, wearing cotton pajamas, not particular at all.

Lao Fan waved his hand and said in his mouth: "Then start cutting, when I buy a house, the wires are all re-paved, and I asked people to turn off all the power consumption, it should be fine." Master, you have a lot of experience, how should you cut it?"

The other party replied: "Such a large piece, cut it directly from the middle, is it good that you can knock it out at once." ”

"Okay, then do as you say. ”

......

After commissioning the machine, the shrill cutting sound was heard immediately after the cover was closed.

Not long after, waiting for all the original stones to be halved, the master immediately instructed the apprentice to turn off the machine.

Several people worked together to move away half of the stone, and they could see that there were jadeites on both sides, and the light blue in the middle was more than 20 centimeters thick, which was not the blue water color that the master just said.

There are also some green lines on the edges, which are full of greenery.

The old man blurted out a "WOC!"

After shining it with a strong light, I looked at both sides, and sighed: "It's a pity, the ice glutinous yang green is not connected into a piece, the blue water head is very good, with floating flowers in it, and now it must have risen, as for how much it can rise, I don't know the market."

There are some miscellaneous ringworms in it, and if you want to take out the bracelet to avoid it, it is estimated that doubling it will not be a problem for takeaways, two bosses, do you think you should stop now, or continue to cut down?"

"I'm not short of more than 20 million, all of them are cut out for me, I don't plan to take out, I keep it for myself, and I usually deliver it to people. ”

As Lao Fan spoke, he also came closer to watch.

The color is a bit mixed, I didn't see the two sides of the imagination are green, in his opinion, since there is no big green, it means that it is not very interesting.

But from the current point of view, I have finally made a fortune and am in a better mood.

Pointing to the blue water in the middle, he told Fan Liancheng and said:

"This color is beautiful, I guess women will like it, when the time comes, I will give your little girlfriend a set of jewelry, I want to carve tea trays and tea sets, and the extra will be beads."

First help me from Piche, I went to contact the experts to come and help see, I used to think it was all a deception, I didn't expect to be able to really cut the price, it seems that last year was unlucky, in this 08 years to make a fortune. ”

The master's hand holding the cigarette trembled a little.

Seeing that Xiao Fan and Lao Fan were as calm as ever, they could be regarded as convinced.

I finally realized that the rich people I thought were really different from the richest handful of people above.

sighed secretly in his heart, he deserved to be the richest father and son in the magic capital, tens of millions of objects, how calm they were, and used to make tea trays?

Speechless.

Fan Liancheng remembered something.

Han Manxing greeted him before, saying that he called him when he cut it, but he forgot it.

Politely called him and told him that he had cut it in half and made some money.

Han Manxing's mood was okay, and he enviously asked him to treat him, supervise the work in the field, and come back in two days......
