Chapter 10 The Snake Can Swallow an Elephant
The next day, when the sun was just showing his face, Ho walked along a teahouse next to the long-distance bus station where he used to go in the alley. A faint fragrance of tea, mixed with the smell of moist car exhaust, kept plopping on his face and burrowing into his nostrils.
He Wenquan used the public phone of the teahouse to call his friend Lao Ba, who had done business with him before, and asked him to come to the teahouse to meet.
In less than half an hour, I saw a tall and middle-aged man hurriedly walking towards He Wenquan. He wears a peaked cap on his head, a pair of brown toad glasses hanging from his tongue, his face is flushed and sweaty, he wears a pair of canvas shoes on his feet, and holds a magazine in his hand. His face was pale, and his face was swollen as if he hadn't slept well. He was always frowning, and his laugh lines were almost extinct on his face. Wearing a faded military uniform with four pockets, as if he were always wearing such a piece. With a thin chin shell, shiny shoulders, and a height of 1.8 meters, he looks very lifeless.
"Lao He, what is the project you are talking about on the phone? The eighth sat down opposite He Wenquan and asked impatiently. He is also losing money in business now, and he has nothing to do all day long, and when he heard that He Wenquan had a project, he immediately rushed over.
"You look at the news in the newspaper first. He Wenquan excitedly pointed to the information transferred by the Guihuagou Tourism Development Company under the newspaper.
"What does this have to do with us?" asked the eighth child puzzled after reading it.
"I want to buy this company, are you willing to do it together?" He Wenquan's excitement last night was still in the ascendant, and he looked at the eighth child with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Acquisition, did you get the money?" the eighth looked a little surprised.
"Not yet, but soon. He Wenquan replied with both affirmation and mystery.
"Why is it coming soon? The eighth child was also interested at this time.
"Before you came, I had already contacted the person in charge of this company, which is a company invested by G enterprises, which has been losing money all year round, so I intend to sell it. He Wenquan glanced at Lao Ba's reaction and continued: "They have invested more than 250 million yuan, there is a hotel in operation, and the construction of the scenic spot is basically perfect. I inquired, and now there are only more than 100,000 tourists in this scenic spot every year, and it has been operating for eight years, losing money every year. At present, their net fixed assets are nearly 60 million yuan, and they have more than 600 mu of construction land, about 120 million yuan. ”
"Then how much money do they transfer?" asked the eighth very curiously, as he wanted to know how much oil and water there was.
He Wenquan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, put down the teacup and said in a mysterious way: "Guess what?"
"How dare I guess this, just say it. "The eighth is a little anxious.
"At the rate of 200,000 acres, there are 120 million acres. Together with more than 60 million fixed assets, a total of 180 million yuan. Their transfer price is 150 million. ”
Lao Ba was immediately deflated when he heard this. "1.5 billion, I thought you picked up something cheap, it turns out that you are making fun of me!"
"What I said is true, do you want to do it with me?" He Wenquan said firmly.
"I'd like to, but do you have any money?" asked the eighth in confusion.
"If you want, I'll worry about the money, your task now is to register a company and borrow a Mercedes from a friend. He Wenquan knew that Lao Ba had many friends, and several of his friends had Mercedes-Benz cars. Since you want to buy such a big company, you have to pretend to be a rich person. "That's right. The name of the company should be loud, and it should look like a foreign company when you hear it. You also have to be responsible for borrowing an office from your friend for a few days, preferably with a one-story building, and then hang the company sign at the door, and the scene will be enough!" He Wenquan laughed after speaking.
"I can do all these things, how long will it take?" said the eighth proudly.
"The car is estimated to take three months, and the office is only temporarily used when needed. Okay?" He Wenquan was looking forward to Lao Ba's answer, he knew that there should be no problem in the office, but it was estimated that it would be difficult to borrow the car for such a long time.
"The office is fine, but the car will be borrowed for three months, do you see if you can pay for it?" said the old man with an embarrassed face.
"Yes!" He Wenquan was waiting for this sentence, and he blurted out two words. "But the fee will be given after the car is used up. You have the final say on how much you want to talk about. ”
He Wenquan felt that he was not far from success at this time, and he was secretly happy in his heart. The next thing is to secure the funds, and he has to think about it quietly on his own.
"Starling, then you should hurry up and do it now, and we will meet here tomorrow morning. He Wenquan was anxious to let the eighth child do things, he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, in case he moved slowly and the Guihuagou Scenic Area was acquired by others, his hopes would be dashed. "You go to buy the order, and I'll go and secure the funds first. Remember to drive the car tomorrow morning!" He Wenquan finished speaking, and left the teahouse in a hurry.
The eighth sat in the tea shop, and before he could figure out what was going on, he felt like he had gotten on He Wenquan's thief ship in a daze, and he couldn't tell what it was like. Think about it, let's go and get things done first, and ask He Wenquan specifically tomorrow. So he held his breath and shouted to the bar: "Waiter, pay!"
He Wenquan left the tea shop and prepared to call Lin Jun at a newsstand on the street. Seeing that someone was using it, he lit a "Liangyou" brand cigarette and waited beside him. With an excited expression on his face, he took two sharp puffs, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the streets, it feels like the twenty years in the provincial capital are as short as crossing a road. He seemed to see himself when he first came to the provincial capital twenty years ago, standing on the opposite side of the road and looking around, looking for the appearance of crossing the road to eat a bowl of noodles in the middle of a car passing.
Twenty years have passed, and the son and daughter born to him by Accountant Deng are already in high school, but he still has not found his foothold in this prosperous city, and the promise of connecting Accountant Deng to the provincial capital to enjoy happiness has still not been fulfilled.
In the past 20 years, he has sold shoes, distributed flyers on the streets, set up an advertising company, opened a restaurant with friends, ran a travel agency, and worked as the owner of a travel transportation company with tens of millions of assets.
He has slept on the streets and in big five-star hotels. From eating instant noodles at meals to eating big meals at meals, and then back to eating instant noodles at meals, he has tossed back and forth several times, and this kind of life has made him develop a strong will like steel.
Jordan Peterson once said, "The world allows for many possibilities, and if you don't succeed in one game, you can always switch to a game that better matches your unique expertise, strengths, and experiences." ...... Also, if changing games doesn't work, you can try developing your own. ”
He Wenquan strongly feels that all the hardships and hardships he has experienced in the past 20 years are preparations for starting his game today.
After He Wenquan saw that the caller in front of him had left, he went over to pick up the phone that had been stopped, and dialed Lin Jun's mobile phone with a hard gaze. "Hey, Brother Lin? I'm Wenquan. He Wenquan shouted into the phone as if no one was around: "Where are you?"
"Wenquan, I'm in Jiang'an, what's the matter?" Lin Jun was still a little surprised when he heard that it was He Wenquan. He asked, "I haven't been in touch for almost half a year, have you? Why did you suddenly remember me?"
"yes, I know you've been busy lately, so I'm sorry to bother you. Do you have time today? I'll come to Jiang'an to see you!" He Wenquan said humbly.
"Okay, I'm fine today, come on, drink tea together. Lin Jun knew in his heart that He Wenquan must have found some business opportunities and wanted to lure him in. The two of them once worked together to open a restaurant, although they lost money, he still felt that He Wenquan was willing to work hard, ambitious, and a very financially minded person. If he has the opportunity, he is still willing to do something with him.
He Wenquan put down the phone, turned around and entered the long-distance bus station, and bought a ticket for the latest bus to Jiang'an City. I soaked a bowl of instant noodles in the waiting room and ate it happily.
A long-distance bus with double doors is driving on the highway from the provincial capital to Jiang'an City. There were only a few guests in the car, and He Wenquan was lying in the last row of the bus, wanting to take a nap at this time. He had barely closed his eyes last night, and he had gotten up from bed several times in the middle of the night to write down the points that had come to mind, so that he had a full plan for today.
He Wenquan knows that Lin Jun has a sand and gravel yard in Jiang'an City, relying on China's vigorous development of urban construction in recent years, and the real estate industry is in full swing. He should have made a lot of money selling sand and gravel over the years. This time, He Wenquan just wanted to use Lin Jun's funds to swallow the elephant and perform a business legend of the white wolf with empty gloves.
He Wenquan arrived in Jiang'an City at more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he found a tea shop by the Jiang'an River, chose a table under the tree by the river, sat down facing the river, and ordered a cup of Longjing tea for Lin Jun, quietly waiting for Lin Jun's arrival.
"Brother Lin, here!" He Wenquan saw Lin Jun coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "The tea has been brewed for you." ”
"Haha, you still know me, I'll take a sip first. After Lin Jun sat down, he smiled and picked up the teacup and drank it.
"Brother Lin, I heard that your business has been very good recently, and you have made a lot of money this year, right?" He Wenquan picked up Lin Jun's favorite words as his opening remarks, so that he could naturally lead Lin Jun into his plan.
"Whereever, whereever, it's okay. Lin Jun said a little proudly: "How are you? Lin Jun was an anxious person, he said whatever he wanted in his heart, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Brother Lin, as soon as something good happens, I think of you first!" He Wenquan knew that Lin Jun was a greedy person, and when he saw that the time had come, he threw the bait out with the help of Lin Jun's topic. "It's a one-and-done thing, there is no risk, it depends on whether you, Brother Lin, are interested in doing it. He Wenquan said "no risk" very seriously, just to emphasize this point in front of Lin Jun, so that he could relax a little, and the rest of the matter would be easier to talk about.
"There's no risk? Tell me what it is. Lin Jun immediately became interested, "If the risk is not big, I will participate." ”
He Wenquan told Lin Jun his idea of acquiring Guihuagou Tourism Development Company.
"This project sounds good, but you can tell me how it works. Lin Jun also became excited after hearing this.
