After greeting Lu Fan, Lü Qiuyi assigned several contracts to her junior intern lawyers to handle, and then invited Lu Fan to her office.

This place is finally a bit quieter.

Lu Fan laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be even busier than me. It's nothing. I just went to the live broadcast room and stopped by to check on things. How's it going? Have you finished the task at the real estate company?"

He just acquired the soy sauce factory, but other businesses are also gradually being developed.

Lü Qiuyi flipped through the items on the desktop and then moved the computer screen to show Lu Fan.

"We have already contacted the industries you are interested in, and several of them have raised their prices somewhat after hearing that we intend to acquire them."

As she spoke, Lü Qiuyi tapped the computer again: "The premium is around five percent, which is reasonable. What do you think?"

Most of the properties were being sold by the Wang family, and since it was inconvenient for Lu Fan to appear in person, he arranged for Lü Qiuyi to quickly follow up after the real estate company's license was issued.

Lu Fan pointed to the busy intern lawyers outside: "Are they working on signing contracts?"

Lu Qiuyi nodded: "Yes, I have already contacted the client and will sign the contract as soon as possible. I have already sent a copy of the contract to you, Mr. Lu, for your review."

Lu Fan had no objections to the contract drafted by Lü Qiuyi, but Lü Qiuyi had some questions:

"Mr. Lu, acquiring these dozen or so businesses will require a lot of money. The company only has less than 100 million yuan left in its account. I wonder if we should slow down the project?"

This is to prevent Lu Fan from impulsively investing all his working capital into the acquisition. If he ends up with more fixed assets but no cash flow, he will really be trapped!

Lü Qiuyi also felt obligated to remind the boss.

Lu Fan told Lü Qiuyi not to worry: "I will allocate funds to you later. The project will proceed as scheduled, so there is no need to worry about funding."

Lu Qiuyi thought for a moment and asked:

"Well, I wonder if Mr. Lu is willing to accept bank loan projects? Actually, with these high-quality assets in hand and the momentum of the acquisition, several banks in Nanshan City have already extended olive branches to our real estate company."

Lu Fan, however, would absolutely not accept a loan.

His cash flow is still very stable, but if someone sets a trap with the loan, he may not even be able to protect his own assets.

Furthermore, if you have the means, why let those banks make huge profits from interest?

So he flatly rejected it.

Lü Qiuyi took a deep breath. She knew her new boss was rich, but to refuse a loan right off the bat—just how rich was he?!

But she quickly recovered: "Okay, Mr. Lu, I will help you complete the acquisition of these companies as soon as possible."

Lü Qiuyi went to work on the contract terms, while Lu Fan went to raise funds.

Instead of immediately accessing his own account, he made a phone call to Sun Dehu: "Huh, Jintian Airlines?"

Although Lu Fan has been busy with business in Nanshan City recently, he has not had time to pay attention to the stock market.

But he had heard of the stock that Sun Dehu had chosen for him, and couldn't help but wonder:

"This stock has plummeted recently, hasn't it?"

Not only did Sun Dehu continue to buy this black hole stock, but he also invested all of the more than 100 million yuan that Lu Fan had earned from stock trading into it.

Upon hearing Lu Fan's question, Sun Dehu was not only unfazed but also inexplicably excited: "President Lu, believe me, this stock will definitely rise!"

Immediately afterward, Sun Dehu roared, "President Lu, look! It's really going up! It's going up!"

Sun Dehu's voice, transmitted through the phone, reached the ears of everyone else in the office. While busy with their tasks, they exchanged glances.

What went up? What happened?

Everyone pricked up their ears in confusion.

But on Lu Fan's tablet screen, the color had been changing from red to green and was rising rapidly!

The price went up; you're talking about stocks, right?

Everyone chuckled, and couldn't help but tease Lu Fan: "Is Mr. Lu trading stocks, or just watching his own company's stock market?"

Looking at the soaring stock price of Jintian Airlines, Lu Fan pursed his lips and said expressionlessly, "I'm trading stocks. To be precise, someone else is trading stocks for me." Everyone laughed, "Looks like you've made a lot of money, Mr. Lu. Why aren't you happy?"

Lu Fan glanced at everyone and slowly curled his lips into a smile: "Happy? How could I not be happy? I invested 150 million, and now..."

As he spoke, everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

An investment of 150 million? Then, how much has this upward surge in green generated for President Lu?

Even Lü Qiuyi, who came over upon hearing the noise, gasped in shock.

Lu Fan glanced at her, his smile this time genuine: "Now the real estate company's funding is no longer a problem."

Lü Qiuyi was the first to recover her senses: "What's going on?"

Lu Fan waved his phone: "The news was only released because Jintian Airlines is going to be acquired by a state-owned aviation group."

Sun Dehu must have known the news in advance to be so certain that Jintian Airlines would skyrocket and continue to invest to turn the tide.

As Jintian Airlines continued its upward trend, it climbed another seven or eight percent right under everyone's noses.
