Although it was a heavy loss for Ren Jian's side. But it's not so much bad luck as it is the beginning of a bad luck. After the confiscation of the jade seal, China suddenly came to an anti-cultural relics smuggling storm, and the bottles and cans sent to BJ also suffered a big loss under the blow of this storm.

Poor Lu Wu's dream was only to become an explorer, a treasure hunter, and he didn't think about this aspect at all, and he was too inexperienced and knowledgeable in selling things (of course, this is not his fault, a person who hasn't even taken the first step, what qualifications does he have to think about the long-term things in the future?). Even Ren Jian doesn't know much about this. After all, cultural relics are very different from ordinary commodities, and they are not even comparable at all. Almost all of the doorways are professional, and it is almost impossible for a layman to understand them all if he does not have an insider to lead the way. At most, it can only stop at the level of "identifying the real from the fake".

If you sell a small amount of cultural relics, especially some common ancient porcelain, ancient utensils, etc., worth between thousands and hundreds of thousands, it will really not attract any special attention. Essentially, as long as you find a channel and find buyers, that's fine, and it's not much different from selling fruit.

But with a large number of shipments and some national treasures worth hundreds of millions of dollars (although not China's national treasures, foreign ones are also national treasures), the situation is completely different. Lu Wu and Ren Jian were too eager and didn't know how to restrain themselves, so they paid a heavy price for their impulsiveness.

After the storm subsided, Ren Jian looked back and calculated (Lu Wu had already taken Amber out for a trip at this time, and it was the kind of tour that couldn't be contacted by phone), and found that the money was far less than the original calculation. Although there are actually many ancient porcelain, it cannot be sold for the time being in order to avoid this storm. However, as far as the money itself from the sale of antiques is concerned, plus the insurance company's payout, it is already a very large amount of money.

Then, just as the insurance payout arrived, Ren Jian found a great opportunity.

W City Iron and Steel Plant, as a state-owned enterprise, has been in a deteriorating situation in recent years due to various reasons. The huge steel plant is now seriously insolvent and nearing completion. Although the steel mill was once one of the pillars of W City, all the glory of the past is now long gone. This steel plant has a lot of weaknesses, such as small scale (of course, in contrast), backward technology, unreasonable personnel structure, etc., etc., in short, the industry believes that the steel plant can only be a black hole that swallows resources infinitely. Under the current general trend, it is almost impossible to save lives with government investment, so the steel plant has to face the fate of being sold.

The problem is that now China's steel industry is de-capacitating. Such a backward small steel mill is by no means fragrant, and it is impossible to make money lightly with a little transformation. According to the unanimous opinion of the people in the steel industry in W City, as far as the steel plant itself is concerned, it is simply a burden, a cancer, and it is destined to lose money, so no one wants to give it away. Even if you really want to sell it, you can only sell it as waste. However, it is not without merit. The so-called lost harvest of mulberry elm, the steel plant itself is not good, but the land it occupies is a good land. If the steel plant can be bought, the equipment can be relocated, and the problem of workers can be dealt with, then this land can be used to build a house or a commercial center, and then the investment can be directly turned over.

In fact, it doesn't take much insight to see this. Just take out the map of W City and compare it with the development of the urban area of W City over the past few decades, and anyone can easily understand this. Or to put it another way, the citizens of the entire city of W know that if the land of the steel plant is taken out and developed, the money is unlimited. After all, as the saying goes, the focus of real estate is the location first, the second is the location, and the third is the location.

Of course, there has been a lot of discussion, but there is also a lot of resistance. Only recently has a breakthrough been made thanks to the efforts of a few city leaders.

The municipal party committee and government finally made up their minds to sell the steel plant, including the plant, personnel, equipment, and of course, the most important land. And according to the relevant information publicity, the steel plant allows any unit to buy.

Although there are many conditions, Ren Jian can see at a glance that this is a good deal that can increase the capital by three or four times in a few years, or even only one or two years. Now there are real estate companies that are willing to take over, provided that the land is sorted out, that is, demolished. That is, nothing else has to be done, it is enough to leave the land vacated. Even the specific development and construction can be ignored, and the ownership of the land can be handed over to the real estate developer as soon as it changes hands.

Others may not be able to, but if it is the owner of the steel mill who demolishes his own house and equipment, then it is perfectly fine. This is simply an ideal project for "short and fast".

Of course, although it is open to the public, not everyone can have such an opportunity. The money needed to buy the steel mill alone was an insurmountable obstacle.

If it was Ren Jian in the past, if he saw the announcement, it would be just a look, and at most it would be just a conversation after dinner. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how bad the situation in the steel mill is, it is not something that a small businessman like him (he is not even a small businessman) can hope for. It must be known that the blast furnaces are real assets, even if they are sold as scrap iron, at least a million is not a problem. But now the situation is completely different. As a person who aspires to fight in the business world, how can you miss such a "short, flat and fast" project?

And so he did.

Everything started off smoothly, but Ren Jian was surprised to find that he didn't have many competitors – maybe it was too sudden, maybe it was the city government's harsh requirements for money and time, or maybe everyone was skeptical, or maybe maybe the previous economic downturn had hit the confidence of the whole society very hard. In short, without too much incentive competition, the contract easily fell to him in the end.

"So, then you found out that you were deceived?" Lu Wu's voice on the phone was still calm as usual.

"That's a trap...... It turned out that the city government had issued regulations before, and there were restrictions on land transfer...... I'm just picking up a girl to become a husband, and speculating in stocks to become a shareholder......" Lu Wu is still so calm, but Ren Jian is angry. It turns out that he is only a small profiteer, and to say that the big profiteer still lacks the necessary experience and sense of smell. It's one thing to sell rotten fruits on the side of the road, but when you really raise the scale of your business to a higher level, when you enter those tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in size of business, he will show his immature side.

Of course, this can also be said separately, it can be said that you are inexperienced, immature, and too impulsive, but it can also be said that you are unlucky, and you will get into the sleeve headlong with a good end. You know, the probability of this kind of thing is actually not high. In most cases, the capital threshold keeps most competitors out, and it is the norm to enjoy the big cake alone.

"Didn't you just say that," Lu Wu asked. "Didn't the high-ranking city official in charge of this matter have already fully agreed to your request?"

"Oh, it didn't work. By the time they discovered that something was wrong, they had already been transferred away! They had already been transferred to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission! If they were not in their positions, they would not be able to seek political power, and they would not be able to help! His promises would become empty words and could not be fulfilled. ”

"And now?"

"There is no other way but to ask Amber for help!" Ren Jian said categorically. Of course, he is not willing to be caught, but in the face of the power of the government, he is really not worth mentioning as a novice in the shopping mall. Who would have thought that the leader who was responsible and made the promise would be transferred? Now it seems that it may have been a conspiracy in the first place. In such an era when a person is in politics, it is too normal to transfer a leader and change his tone.

Maybe that's why others didn't compete in the first place. Everyone knows that the leader who pushed for this matter is going to be transferred, so things can easily turn into a mess, because who knows what the new leader's idea is? After all, the sale of the steel plant is not without opposition, and in fact there are many people from top to bottom who oppose it.

“…… I haven't figured it out yet, slut, you mean, you bought the steel plant, and now you're the owner of the steel plant?"

"It's our company!" Ren Jian emphasized. "The worst thing is this! This steel mill has no hope! The whole thing is a dou who can't be supported! Our funds are trapped all of a sudden...... And don't be angry, in order to make this deal, I also went to the bank to take out a loan......"

With some trepidation, he told the last part of the bad news. Well, he felt that although Lu Wu's tone was calm at the moment, it was actually an angry and laughing expression (when human feelings are in a certain intense state, they often express them with completely opposite emotions, such as laughing with anger and crying with joy). And this news was the last straw that broke the camel's back. According to his current calculations, if he gets rid of this bottomless pit that guarantees losing money according to the normal method, after paying off the loan...... Then the fruits of Lu Wu's adventure, so many things that he had worked so hard to salvage from the sea were all in vain. At most, there is no surplus of tens of thousands of balances - and the premise of this situation is that someone is willing to take over. In other words, the person who took the offer used a more fair rather than black-hearted price.

For this matter, Ren Jian knew that it was completely his own fault. He can be said to have touched Lu Wu's light out of thin air, and suddenly jumped from a graduate to the level of "boss". However, his first business directly lost all the money Lu Wu got from. Whether it was reasonable or reasonable, he didn't dare to face Lu Wu. This is really sorry for others, and I have betrayed my trust in vain.

Although he had just said something like "let Amber help", he didn't have that confidence himself. Amber is a witch and possesses incredible powers, but there is definitely a limit to that power. Or maybe it's okay to help someone find something, but really turn things around in this situation...... Actually, that's almost impossible. Fools know that the Gypsies are a well-known wandering people, historically belonging to the kind of guys who are discriminated against everywhere and expelled everywhere. If the power of witches were so useful, then it is estimated that the gypsies would not be so miserable, and at least it would not be a problem to find an opportunity to get a piece of their own land.

If only the real gypsy witches could have this level of power to make the leaders of W City take back the normative documents they issued and invalidate...... It is estimated that in ancient times, it was not a problem at all to convince a king to give a piece of land to the gypsies. You know, there were so many European countries in the Middle Ages, and the bloodlines were so complicated, so there were many guys who could only be regarded as fools wearing crowns and lying on thrones. It is much more difficult to convince the modern group of cunning city government leaders than to convince those fools.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Ren Jian originally thought that Lu Wu was finally pressed to the limit, and there would be a thunderbolt outbreak next, but he waited in horror for a long time, and finally waited for Lu Wu's reaction.

"That's all?" Lu Wu just asked very calmly.
