Chapter 743: Destiny Gate
"Five percent?"
For a moment, Fang Yuan thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but confirm: "Boss Du, do you mean five percent of the total investment?" β
"That's right, it's five percent of the total investment." Boss Du nodded heavily, no doubt.
Suddenly, not only Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu, but even several of Boss Du's subordinates accompanying the guests were also stunned, a little unbelievable. If you know five percent of a billion, that's a full 50 million.
The remuneration for a design proposal is 50 million, which is not strictly speaking. The problem is that it is definitely the value of a nationally and even internationally renowned architect.
Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu, although they won the gold medal in the national design competition, are also well-known in the industry. But compared with the international big designers, it must be a world of difference, and there is no way to compare.
Fang Yuan also had a clear understanding of this, and he had discussed with Bao Longtu before, asking for a one percent share, which was already a lion's mouth. His psychological expectation is actually four or five million.
But now, Boss Du said that he would give 5% of the remuneration, which is simply pie in the sky...... No, it should be gold, heavy real money.
"Maruki ......" Bao Longtu breathed rapidly, and his eyes shone with golden light. Venus is dotted and a little dizzy.
In comparison, Fang Yuan was not stunned, but he was also stunned for a moment. But soon he came to his senses, put down his chopsticks lightly, and said with a strange expression: "Boss Du, you're not kidding, are you?" β
"Why, Mr. Fang suspects that I'm drunk. Talking nonsense? Boss Du smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, you can just take the contract, and I will sign it for you immediately." β
Fang Yuan was silent. Suddenly turned his head and said, "Beauty, please make a pot of strong tea." β
"Okay." The soft girl next to her nodded lightly and swayed away.
At this moment, Bao Longtu also slowly calmed down, and whispered in Fang Yuan's ear: "Well, actually, I thought of it a long time ago, he probably wanted to say 0.5 percent." But because of the strength of the wine, some of them can't control their tongues......"
"Yes." Fang Yuan agreed, thinking that this was reasonable.
It's not just the two of them. The assistant next to Boss Du seemed to have thought of this possibility, and hurriedly leaned into Boss Du's ear to whisper a reminder, lest his boss continue to look foreign.
"What's zero-five."
Didn't think of it. Boss Du listened. His expression suddenly straightened, and he said loudly: "I'm not wrong, it's five percent." Five percent of a billion, fifty million! β
"Huh!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked and suspicious. After all, Boss Du can say 50 million, not 5 million, which proves that he doesn't seem to be drunk and his mind is clear. Don't mistake five million for fifty million.
It turns out that Boss Du is really not drunk. At this time, the girl came with strong tea. He took a sip, then smiled, "If Mr. Fang feels uneasy, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?" β
"It's fine." Fang Yuan hesitated and nodded lightly in agreement.
At the right time, Boss Du greeted again: "Mr. Fang, you and I are familiar at first sight, let's have another ......"
Fang Yuan was full of concerns, but the guests had needs, so he naturally accompanied them. In the midst of the staggering, the banquet was slowly coming to an end, and everyone was a little drunk, so they simply agreed to meet again tomorrow, and then dispersed.
On the way home, Bao Longtu asked, "Maruko, do you think the five percent he said is true or false?" β
"Seems to be true." Fang Yuan was also a little unsure.
"If it's true, it's an industry benchmark." Bao Longtu was pleasantly surprised: "Once the order is completed, our company's influence will definitely reach a new level." β
Influence, although it is somewhat invisible and intangible, really exists. Some potential customers must feel that their company is capable of fulfilling such large orders and are willing to come to their door for help.
In this way, business is naturally booming and the money is rolling.
"Don't rejoice too soon." Fang Yuan looked at it more far-reaching: "Don't you notice, is there something wrong with this?" β
"What's wrong?" Bao Longtu asked, not because he didn't notice it, but because he didn't want to find out.
"Don't play dumb." Fang Yuan frowned and said, "You should know what kind of place Wenzhou is." Cheng dΓΉ, which is developed and prosperous there, is definitely the first choice for major designers to pan for gold. There are many powerful design companies, and Boss Du didn't look for them, but he went to Quanzhou to go far and wide, in my expectation, there should be only one reason. β
"What reason?" Bao Longtu asked.
"Save money, be cheap." Fang Yuan said bluntly: "In my imagination, Boss Du should be ruthless in lowering the price, and my psychological bottom line is about three million, as long as it is close to this number, I gritted my teeth and admitted it." β
"But now that I think about it, it seems strange. After all, he is willing to invest one billion to build a resort, so simply keep improving, and offer a reward of 10 million to solicit design proposals, presumably the big domestic design companies will be moved. β
Fang Yuan frowned and said, "Now he came to our small company to spend 50 million, it's so abnormal that people can't figure it out." β
"What can't be figured out, this just shows that our strength is ......" Bao Longtu was about to brag about himself, but he felt bored, and shook his head and said: "Okay, it's really abnormal." β
"There must be a demon when it is abnormal." Fang Yuan pondered: "I feel that Boss Du is the God of Wealth, and he specially sent us money." β
"Hey, you're a fan of the authorities." Bao Longtu suddenly thought of something, and said with a strange smile: "I seem to have thought of the reason." β
"What is the reason?" Fang Yuan hurriedly asked.
"The drunkard's intention is not to ...... wine," Bao Longtu shook his head and said: "I care about the mountains and rivers." β
"Huh?" Fang Yuan's heart moved, and he fell into deep thought.
Bao Longtu concentrated on driving, and returned to the villa soon after, then patted Fang Yuan's shoulder and greeted: "Okay, don't think about it, anyway, tomorrow we should know what's going on." β
Fang Yuan nodded, went back to the room to wash up and went to sleep.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the two came to work in the company, and it didn't take long for Boss Du to bring people to arrive as scheduled. Fang Yuan immediately welcomed people to the living room, and then personally made tea to entertain the guests.
If you do too many things, you will become extremely proficient. Fang Yuan's tea brewing is like this, every move is like flowing water, very crisp and neat, without the slightest fireworks.
Of course, it is certainly not as pleasing to the eye as the tea ceremony, but it is also comfortable to watch. After a while, the first cup of tea, full of guests, was placed in front of Boss Du.
Boss Du raised his glass and sipped lightly, naturally full of praise: "Mr. Fang is good at craftsmanship." β
"We are a small company, usually have little business, and we have nothing to do, so we can only drink tea to pass the time. This is how my craft was practiced, which made Boss Du smile. Fang Yuan said with a smile, and there was also a bit of an off-string sound.
"Mr. Fang is humble." Boss Du's eyes flashed: "Before I came, I inquired clearly." Although the scale of your company is not large, it is very powerful and well-known, which is commendable......"
"Small companies, in order not to be eliminated by the market, can only work quality." Fang Yuan sighed.
"That's what I like." Boss Du said solemnly: "The structure of large companies is bloated, and it is inevitable that some people will be superficial, but it is a small company with strength that can concentrate on doing big things, which is my experience in doing business for many years." So after many rounds of screening, I decided on your company as a partner to work with. β
"It's a great honor to thank Boss Du for his love." Fang Yuan smiled lightly and said leisurely: "After the scene is finished, let's just cut to the chase, about the remuneration ......"
"Five percent." Boss Du said heroically, and his tone was categorical, beyond doubt.
Fang Yuan was silent, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Boss Du, I'm sorry, we won't accept this business!" β
"Why?" Boss Du was stunned and said in astonishment: "Does Fang always think that the price is too low?" β
"No, it's the price that's too high." Fang Yuan shook his head and said: "Our company is small, we don't have a big appetite, the cake you gave is too thick, we can't eat it, it's easy to choke to death." β
"That's right." Bao Longtu also helped: "We always believe that the benefits are directly proportional to the difficulties. Boss Du spent a lot of money to ask for a design plan, which just shows that this thing is not easy to do. It's not that we are arrogant, but people are self-aware, and our company's foundation is thin, so I'm afraid we won't be able to take on such a big business. β
"The strength is insufficient, and I can't help it." Fang Yuan sighed: "Boss Du, we can't delay your business. If there is a chance in the future, let's cooperate again. β
"Boss Du, I'm really sorry." Bao Longtu was full of sincerity and discussed: "Otherwise, I will recommend some powerful units to you." They belong to the nature of the studio, there are famous domestic designers in charge, usually only serve the government's big projects, but when they are free, they also take on some private work......"
At this moment, it was Boss Du's turn to be silent. After a while, he smiled and said, "It seems that I can't hide it, but fortunately, I don't want to hide it......"
Between the words, Boss Du said frankly: "Mr. Fang...... No, it should be Master Fang, it seems that you should have guessed my intention. β
"As expected." Bao Longtu pursed his lips, then stood up and said: "Looking for you, you can do it, Bai is happy......"
Seeing that Bao Longtu wanted to leave, Boss Du stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mr. Bao, don't leave yet." If this business is successful, I can promise to give you the most autonomy and never interfere with the design of the lodge. No matter what you design the villa into, as long as you invest a billion to complete it, I have no opinion. β
"Uh......"
These words can be described as an arrow through the heart, which made Bao Longtu's footsteps stagnate and make his heart pound.
I have to say that Boss Du must have gone through a detailed investigation, or that there was a master behind him, and he knew what Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu's fate was, and he went directly to their weaknesses as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ahem......"
Suddenly, Bao Longtu sat down again, poured tea enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Boss Du, what is your surname?" (To be continued......)
