Clearly, Jia Lindao had done some research on large-scale projects.

At least he understands the concept of branding.

After Zhao Sihai inquired, he responded calmly and confidently.

"Although you are all well-known bosses in Tianjin, there is still a gap between you and those brand real estate developers. For example, Kewan is something that you can't compare to."

"Moreover, to secure a major project, you need a large investment. You can't even dream of acquiring land without spending hundreds of millions."

"This time, Tianjin is mainly promoting large-scale projects, so it's almost impossible to get a small plot of land for development."

"That's why we need to unite, and that's how we got the chance to compete. Xingwang Company, with its million-dollar investment, has the qualifications of China Sports Industry Group, and there are absolutely no problems with its brand. The key issue is funding."

Bosses like Zhao Sihai were lucky to benefit from the development of the times and gained temporary profits.

Everyone here is just trying to make a living locally, and there's not much brand awareness yet.

For example, Sihai Real Estate has a certain reputation in Tianjin, but it has no real influence.

In comparison, these nouveau riche bosses really have no competitiveness.

In fact, Zhao Sihai and the others had also received word of this, otherwise he might not have wanted to meet Jia Lindao and Wang Baiwan.

This time, only big brands can be competitive.

Although Zhao Sihai was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

He tentatively asked, "Does Xingwang Company really have a partnership with China Sports?"

“Millions! Now is not the time to keep a low profile. Show Brother Sihai your information.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Lindao's eyes darted around and he immediately looked at Wang Baiwan.

While offering his warning, he also secretly felt fortunate.

Fortunately, Su Wu reminded him, otherwise he might not have been able to be so thorough.

I never expected it to actually come in handy now; it's truly a blessing.

He was secretly pleased and gestured for everyone to look at the information provided by Wang Baiwan.

This document was carefully designed; you can't see any flaws without a close inspection.

Zhao Sihai examined it carefully and asked questions again after confirming that there were no major problems.

"Then how much does Brother Baiwan plan to invest?"

"Hey, I'm destined to work for someone else too. The boss plans to invest 300 million, and has already given me 50 million in funding. If we can find a partner, he'll invest another 300 million."

What seems like a lie can also be true, and what seems like a truth can also be a lie. Wang Baiwan never revealed how much money he had.

His background is too weak to stand up to scrutiny; it's more accurate to say he has a boss behind him.

His words, ironically, earned him Zhao Sihai's trust.

After all, shrewd people like them can guess how much wealth a boss has after just a few probes.

After listening, he slowly began to calculate. An investment of 300 million was already a lot. He had never undertaken such a large project at once before.

This shows just how powerful the people behind Wang Baiwan are.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly observe Jia Lindao.

He had a mysterious and inscrutable expression on his face, as if a few hundred million was nothing to him.

The interplay between officials and businessmen can sometimes be quite dazzling.

He couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Then what is the total planned investment?"

"Our plan is to first raise 1 billion yuan to acquire land, and then make a second investment based on the acquired land and the investment ratio. This is a more prudent approach."

Wang Baiwan's confident answer showed great sincerity.

At this point, Jia Lindao added with a smile, "Actually, once we get the land, everyone's investment will be very small, and we can easily get a loan."

"Oh, it seems Brother Jia has connections in this area," Zhao Sihai said with a hint of surprise.

"No problem, no problem. They're just descendants of old friends, they're of some use."

Jia Lindao feigned an air of mystery, appearing profound and enigmatic, but refrained from elaborating.

They all knew that if they could get enough loans, they really wouldn't have much to invest.

In fact, most people are basically just buying land and investing a little money.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a sure-fire way to make money?

The group exchanged glances, and Zhao Sihai smiled, "Then how much can we invest?"

“The more you invest, the more land we can acquire. It all depends on what you all think. But we need to raise at least 600 million, otherwise it won’t be worth it,” Wang Baiwan said smugly.

There is no upper limit to investment, and the land is allocated proportionally after acquisition. This is very reasonable.

Zhao Sihai frowned and began to think.

The project was very tempting, but he wasn't a fool; he wouldn't just throw money into it on a whim.

As the banquet drew to a close, everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and now it was time for everyone to express their opinions.

Zhao Sihai laughed and said, "This is no small matter; we need to consider it."

"That's natural, but we can't wait too long, at most half a month. After all, the higher-ups need to have evidence to show that they're taking care of me, and it won't work if the funds aren't in place."

Jia Lindao seemed to understand, but he gave a deadline.

Zhao Sihai could only force a smile and say, "I understand, I understand."

"However, Brother Sihai, although I'm giving you face, if you don't have any news within a week, I'll have to give Su Wu a heads-up. We can't let our source of income be cut off."

Seeing that Zhao Sihai was hesitant, Jia Lindao directly called the general.

These words immediately made Zhao Sihai's face turn somewhat unnatural.

If you back down now, you'll be contradicting yourself.

He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll handle this. There are more than just a few bosses in Tianjin. Of course, I can't let you suffer losses. Here's what I'll do: I'll transfer 5 million yuan first. If things don't work out, consider it an apology."

"Brother Sihai, why bother? I'm just stating the facts; I have no intention of forcing you."

Seeing that his provocation had succeeded, Jia Lindao immediately changed his expression, becoming extremely humble.

Zhao Sihai put his hand down and said, "I have only one request: Su Wu cannot eat this bowl of rice!"

"Brother Sihai, you..."

"Don't worry, I'll give you an answer within half a month. If we don't want to get involved, you can contact him again. I don't think he has any other options. 300 million? Hmph, can he even come up with that?"

At this point, Zhao Sihai's attitude became tougher, displaying an air of dominance.

Having been somewhat timid earlier, he now needed to demonstrate his power.

The guests enjoyed themselves immensely at the banquet, and Zhao Sihai, of course, offered them another round of warm hospitality.

So Jia Lindao and Wang Baiwan decided to stay at the Sihai Hotel.

With no one else around, Wang Baiwan smiled broadly.

“These people are rich. They gave us 5 million with just a few words. We made money without doing anything.”

"Foolish! 5 million is nothing. The fact that Zhao Sihai is willing to offer 5 million means he's already interested! If things go well, we can even get 500 million!"

"But boss, we don't have any powerful connections. How are we going to acquire the land? Will we be able to run away in time?"

“These people are no pushovers, so running away won’t work. The housing fair is in May, so we can secretly acquire the land for the collective housing project in Beijing and then take out a loan to cover the losses.”

"What if there isn't enough time?"

"If there's no time to lose, I can only earn some interest; at least I won't lose anything."

"What about Su Wu?"

"Hmph, of course we have to lie. If we don't tell, who will know?"

Jia Lindao looked confident, as if he had everything under control.
