In mid-October, Hong Kong was cloudy and rainless for three to five consecutive days, the air was damp, and people were always sweating and feeling very sad.

In this season, the business of the hot pot restaurant is unexpectedly hot, three or five friends sit around the table, order a hot pot, on the hot spicy soup, a bite of meat and vegetables, sweating, when going out, even the gentlest wind blows on the body, it will make people have a feeling of stepping on cotton with both feet, and the whole body is fluttering, how is a cool word?!

Therefore, starting from October 6th, every noon and evening meal time, the three floors of Fangdi hot pot restaurant are full of guests, and even the guests waiting at the door have lined up in a long line, Gu Zhong, Guo Jiaju, Tian Xuefeng, Zhang Qing are busy every day, but they can't close their mouths with a smile: "Brother Li, last night for four hours, a total of 265 tables, an average of 3.6 times per table, as for the operating income, a total of 690,000 yuan, has all been deposited implicitly, this is a certificate of deposit." ”

Lu Li took the account and deposit slip and looked at it, and closed it casually, "Very good, Ah Zhong and Zhang Qing are doing well." ”

"Thank you, Ligos."

"I should thank you." Luli said with a smile: "At present, we should be able to maintain this good business momentum, which is not only beneficial to our further development in the future, I think, it is also time to discuss cooperation with Stephen Company." I have handed over this matter to Mr. Zhang and Ms. Ou, and they will follow up at any time. If there is any situation, it will also be fed back to you in time. ”

Zhang Qing heard that the tone of his speech was a little wrong, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, why are you talking like this?" What does it mean to give feedback to us, and you? ”

"I want to go back to China."

"Again? It's just the middle of October, why are you going back? There may be a lot of things you need to decide here, why do you want to go back? ”

"This time it's mainly for Pengcheng, Li Tiehan and Ah Mao are in charge of transportation, but they can't ignore it, right? I'm going to Pengcheng. Meet them and see if there are any problems, and if everything is business as usual, I would like to leave Pengcheng and go home again. Look at my family. ”

Others were deceived by his nonsense, but Zhang Qing was not fooled, "Little." If you really go back to see Auntie, then we won't say anything, but ...... Auntie, how long have they been gone, are you so reluctant? You tell the truth, is it for Xu Yunjian's grandson? ”

Luli was a little embarrassed to be called out of his mind. "That...... Well, that ......"

"Well? You'll stutter as soon as you talk nonsense! Let me tell you, this time when he goes back, the responsibility is entirely on his own, and it has nothing to do with you at all, why are you so reluctant? Let him go back to the construction site and suffer a little, I don't think there's anything wrong with it! ”

"Yes. I know what you said makes sense, but ......" Since Lu Li said this matter, he didn't plan to hide it anymore, "Zhang Qing, you also know that Xu Yunjian is not a bad person,......

"I didn't say he was a bad person. I'm just talking about his temper, you always spoil him so much, and now it's obvious that he made a mistake, and you have to go back and beg him? Why don't you do this to us? ”

"What is this called? Why am I not doing this to you, and am I not doing you any good? ”

"It's not a question of whether you are good or not, but a matter of attitude! Little. If you do it for anything else, forget it, if you really want to go back and beg him, and then let him come back again and again to make trouble, and come back to disobey. We're just going to do it! The deal will be returned to you, and you two will do it yourself, how about it? ”

Lu Li was extremely distressed, scratched his head hard, and said, "Zhang Qing, don't be like this, I have been friends with Xu Yunjian for almost twenty years, I promise you." This time I go back, if he comes back with me, I promise to make him obedient in the future, otherwise, I will never want him again, okay? ”

"Xiaoxiao, if you want to say something else, I will listen to you, this is this thing, just can't do it! It's better to do this, when the Chinese New Year comes, let's go home together, and the fourth child and the second egg together, and then find time to call Xu Yunjian's grandson out, let's talk about it, and when the time comes, if he really admits his mistake to you, let him come back, otherwise, pull him down, how about it? ”

Lu Li pondered for a while, "Okay, I'll listen to you." But I really got Pengcheng to go once this time, I promise you, just go to Pengcheng, don't go home, okay? ”

"If you're going to get down to business, we're not going to stop you, but you'll have to set a time. What time will you come back? ”

"Three days at most, I'll be back in three days, okay?"

Zhang Qing nodded, didn't say more, gave Gu Zhong a look, motioned for him to take everyone away, and he got closer to Li Xueqing, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Xiaoxiao, I don't have any opinions on Xu Yunjian, if he is capable and willing to do it, what's wrong with having an old friend who knows the roots?" I mean, you're always at odds with his approach. How can there be such a thing? Good guy, it's not me Zhang Qing who says bad things about him now, you ask the fourth, you ask Ah Zhong and them, Xu Yunjian usually doesn't accept anyone! No matter what it is, if anyone says a few words to him, he will stare at him and scold the street,...... The popularity is bad! ”

Lu Li grinned a little sadly, of course he knew what kind of person Xu Yunjian was, but he had followed him for many years, and he was really reluctant to leave him alone like this! "Then, I'll talk about him later, is it okay to make him obedient?"

"Nonsense, you just said? Don't say it, you're okay in front of you, as soon as you walk away, he'll become that bastard again! ”

Lu Li became a little irritable, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it, I understand!" A few of you are here, and I will go to Lawyer Zhang and Miss Ou and have a few words with them. With that, he left the store without looking back.

Watching him walk away, Zhang Qing and Li Xueqing looked at each other, and smiled bitterly at the same time, "I heard that the two of you plus Xu Yunjian and Erdanzi were known as the four evils back then, and the relationship was the best, isn't it?" But now it seems that he and Xu Yunjian are very good, and you two brothers, a little bit of that? ”

"This is for an incident back then, you may have heard of it, it was ,...... before the Cultural Revolution" Li Xueqing told the events of that year, Zhang Qing knew a little bit about this past, but he didn't know it well. His eyes widened in surprise, "Fuck! Xiaoxiao is so grudgeful? ”

"It's much better now, and back then, it was much better!" Li Xueqing scolded sneeringly: "MLGBD, the most painful thing for Xiaoxiao is Xu Yunjian, but this grandson is still so ignorant!" ”

*********************************************

Lu Li knew very well in his heart that Zhang Qing and Li Xueqing's words were right, but he couldn't let go of them emotionally after all. Every time I think of the years when two people grew up together, no matter how many shortcomings he has, he turns a blind eye.

He drove the dilapidated Volga from Kowloon through the Cross Harbour Tunnel to Hong Kong, parked his car in the downtown area of Causeway Bay, and went to the office building of Jason Law Firm. As soon as I walked into the door of the law firm, I saw Zuo Yugang walking out of it with a smile on his face, and the two of them were stunned when they saw each other, "Mr. Lu?" ”

"Mr. Zuo, it's been a long time."

"Are you looking for a lot?"

"Yes, I want to ask her about some business things."

"I know. I know, I've been told to do so before. Zuo Yugang smiled, looking in a good mood, "I heard her say that Mr. Lu intends to purchase real estate for the future development of the company and office purposes?" If you need a bank loan, our Dafa Bank, Mr. Lu can also consider it. ”

Luli also remembered. Zuo Yugang is the son of the chairman of the board of directors of Dafa Bank! He smiled and nodded, "Well, thank you, Mr. Zuo, if it's possible, I'll consider it." ”

Zuo Yugang smiled mysteriously and pointed back. "It's in there frequently, go in by yourself."

Seeing Zuo Yugang walk into the elevator, Lu Li turned his head to Ou Chenli's office and looked inside through the glass. Ou Chenli turned his back to the door, pressed his back with his right hand, leaned back as much as possible, as if he was doing some exercise, he knocked on the door and entered, Ou Chenli was stunned, "Mr. Lu?" You...... How did it come? ”

"I'd like to ask you about the transfer of that property."

"Oh." Ou Chenli immediately understood, the surprise on his face disappeared in an instant, he asked him to sit down, found a file, and said: "The land rights of this real estate belong to the Hong Kong Port Authority, and you already know the reason for the suspension of construction?" Alan and I have consulted for you in the past half a month, and if you want, you can get the right to use this building, but you don't have the property rights. To put it simply, you can use this building as your expanded hot pot restaurant, but the property rights are still owned by the Port Authority, but you can sign a contract with the other party to guarantee your access to it. ”

"This building is not officially completed yet, and even if I want to use it, I'm afraid I will need to invest a lot of money to complete the final project, right?"

"Yes, on this issue, we have invited a third-party accounting company to calculate for you, with the current state, if you really intend to invest money, from the completion of the infrastructure of this building to the official opening, it will need to invest about 50,328,500 yuan."

Lu Li listened to her report the numbers without the slightest emotion, and his head began to twitch and hurt, "More than 50 million?" Fuck me! How can I have so much money? ”

"So, you can choose to raise money from the bank, or you can choose to cooperate with Stephen and have the other party inject capital into it and complete the whole project."

"So, Stephen's Company, how did you contact me?"

"Alan has always been in charge of this matter, why don't we go to him?"

Lu Li looked at her belly, which was becoming more and more obvious, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Of course I can, Miss Ou......, are you convenient?" ”

Ou Chenli gave him a blank look, "What, do you remember to care about me now?" ”

“…………”

"I'm fine," Ou Chenli stood up, picked up a suit and put it on, and picked up another file, Lu Li hurriedly reached out to take it, and the two of them went out before and after; It doesn't look like it's going to talk about business, but it's a bit like a young couple going back to their parents' house together!

The two went all the way to Zhang Dadong's law firm, sat down with each other, and after a few gossips, Zhang Dadong said: "In the past few days, I have been talking on the phone with Mr. Zall, the president of Stephen's company in Southeast Asia, and the other party has shown a strong interest in injecting capital into your hot pot restaurant. The daily managers and service personnel of the newly opened hot pot restaurant should also conduct a comprehensive assessment under the supervision of the other party, and more importantly, they should occupy more than 51% of the equity of your Fangdi hot pot restaurant. ”

Ou Chenli knew that he didn't understand, so she explained a few words to him on the side, "How can this work?" As the two of them expected, Lu Li jumped as high as he could, and his voice was sharp and thin: "The hot pot restaurant is mine, why should they occupy 51%?" Besides, my hot pot restaurant isn't on the market at all? ”

"Mr. Lu, I know you can't accept it emotionally, but in the business world, this situation is also very common. As for what you said about not being listed, this is just saying that the other party has to get the absolute right to speak. ”

"What about me? What should I do? ”

"If you are the founder of a hot pot restaurant, you will also get a percentage of the shares and become a member of the board of directors. At the same time, you can also be responsible for the day-to-day operations. ”

"No, it's absolutely not going to work!" Lu Li thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head: "Lawyer Zhang, thank you for your hard work these days, please tell Mr. Zhuoer that I can't agree to such conditions." I don't need them anymore. So, Miss Ou, do you think that with my current situation, if I take out a loan from the bank, can I get the bank's consent? ”

"It's not too much of a problem, but the reality is that such a large bank loan can't be negotiated for half a year, and because of your status, it may take longer. Negotiations between you and the Port Authority over such a long period of time can be unpredictable. ”

"What do you mean, tell me specifically?"

"Mr. Lu, in your case, even if you reach an agreement with the port authority, or sign a contract, you need to invest the first start-up capital in a very short period of time, in words you can understand, that is, you must first come up with a sum of money to continue the project, and then invest the remaining part of the funds in the construction of the building in different periods of time - if you can't reach a cooperation with the bank on the loan, your funds will inevitably be cut off. Because of the constraints of the contract, all the money you invested in the early stage can be wasted. ”

"I see, that is, if I can't come up with the money before the building is officially built, then the money from before it is all gone down the drain?"

Ou Chenli and Zhang Dadong looked at each other and smiled, "Yes, that's what it means." ”

"So, isn't there any other way?"

"Nope."

The two words hit Luli's heart like a hammer, his face was frighteningly white, and it took a long time to catch his breath and struggle: "Then, I also have a lot of savings......"

Ou Chenli's heart hurts! The man in front of him is the biological father of the fetus in his womb! If there was a little way, I couldn't help but watch him work so hard, but on the surface, he still maintained a cold expression, "Alan and I know that you have money, but, how much can you come up with?" ”

"Well, three or five million, right?"

Zhang Dadong was stunned, "Mr. Lu, you have so much money now?" ”

"What's the use of three or five million?" Ou Chenli still said coldly: "It's just a drop in the bucket!" Mr. Lu, I advise you to dismiss this idea. ”

Luli sighed regretfully, what else could he do if he didn't dismiss this idea? "Well, I won't bother you two. I'll go back first. (To be continued...) )
