Chapter 16 Advanced Experience

A whole box of golden imperial banknotes, each worth 10,000 imperial yuan, the largest denomination of banknotes in the empire.

This kind of banknote is golden all over, as if it were printed from gold. The front side has the imperial emblem, which is composed of lions, tigers, dragons, swords, sun and moon. The back side has a picture of the country and the people. The workmanship is extremely fine and lifelike, and it is extremely difficult to counterfeit at first glance.

It is also said that each 10,000 yuan note contains 3 grams of gold and 27 grams of silver, which is a guarantee of the empire's credibility.

The fat man laughed and said, "3 million is not a respectful amount."

Lin Wen took a look and said, "Sorry." He stood up.

Fang Weiwei just revealed a hint of a sneer and stood up with the county chief.

"Wait!" the fat man shouted, looking apologetic. "I haven't finished what I was saying, County Chief Lin, please look."

He flipped over 300 banknotes, revealing the glittering, real gold underneath.

"Ten pure gold bars, issued by the Imperial Bank, weighing 500 grams each, valued at 185,000."

Lin Wen still shook his head: "Boss Zhang, this is a 5 billion project. Although we are only bidding for some building materials, the conservative estimate is that the value is over 1 billion."

Fatty Zhang shouted, "Headmaster Lin! You're a high-ranking official in the Empire, so busy every day, you don't understand the hardships we, the lower-level engineers, face. There are so many people working on the road materials, and the prices are very tight. Even if we cut corners on this project, the net profit won't exceed 10 million. We, the brothers, have earned so much blood and sweat, and giving half of it to you is our greatest sincerity."

Lin Wen sat down again: "Then tell me."

Fatty Zhang saw a good opportunity and immediately pulled out his briefcase and pulled out a project schedule. "Look, the main material is concrete. The Imperial Highway is a first-class highway, so the concrete must be at least C35 or better. The regular market price is 320 cubic meters. Changshan County is remote and transportation is inconvenient, so the cost will be at least 50 more. I can also contract the transportation. You will definitely not find a lower price."

Lin Wen smiled slightly: "Just use C10."

For the first time in a business meeting, Fatty Zhang felt like he had lost control of his facial features. After a long moment, he hesitantly said, "But, but this is the Imperial Highway."

Lin Wen smiled and said, "Then use half C10, part C20, and a small part C35. You can adjust the specific proportions yourself."

Fatty Zhang whispered, "What about the Empire?"

Lin Wen also smiled and whispered, "Then how do you think I jumped seven grades in three years?"

Fatty Zhang stood in awe and said, "Excuse me, may I ask which immortal is behind you?"

Lin Wen shook his head. "You don't need to know that." He gave an enigmatic smile. "The time is not right yet."

Fatty Zhang nodded. This was easy to understand. The two parties had not yet reached an in-depth cooperation, so they would naturally not reveal the details. On the other hand, it also meant that if the two parties cooperated happily, he could go a step further and hold on to this thigh.

But there were still many doubts about the whole thing, and Fatty Zhang was silent for a few seconds.

Lin Wen smiled and said casually, "To be honest, I've never been on the levee."

Everyone present was startled and looked at each other, seeing the coldness in each other's eyes.

Fatty Zhang felt a mixture of chill and excitement. He felt this was a huge opportunity, one that could soar to great heights if handled properly. However, he didn't dare to make a hasty decision. He could only bow and say, "Sorry, sorry, my kidneys are not good. I'm going to the restroom and will be back soon. County Magistrate Lin, please condescend to wait for me, Old Zhang, for one minute."

After saying that, he immediately slipped out, and everyone present slipped out as if they had internal problems.

Only Lin Wen and Fang Weiwei were left.

Fang Weiwei's expression was unclear at this moment. She took the risk of moving closer to Lin Wen and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Wen smiled slightly and whispered in her ear, "Just trick them."

Fang Weiwei's heart immediately calmed down. She glanced at County Chief Lin and resumed her queenly demeanor.

At this moment, Fatty Zhang happened to walk in and saw the last move. Not only did he not have any doubts in his heart, but he became even more certain. He thought to himself, "It must be a big shot, otherwise how could a woman of this level come to such a small position as a secretary? I just don't know which noble lady Phoenix she is."

Suddenly, jealousy filled my heart, and I felt jealous: "They must have known each other for a long time. Judging from their ages, they might even be childhood sweethearts."

But after years of ups and downs in the business world, Fatty Zhang would never let such emotions show at all.

Soon, everyone returned and Fatty Zhang offered a new price.

"Ten million, in cash."

The two sides continued to bargain, but there was no doubt that an agreement would be reached in the end.

In the end, the price was settled at 15 million. Lin Wen offered a number of operations that they had never heard of before and guaranteed that there would be absolutely no problems.

Fatty Zhang had no doubts at all, he just sighed that big shots were big shots and could have more fun than them.

Before leaving, Fatty Zhang deliberately asked in a low voice, "Chief Lin, your secretary is truly enticing. I wonder if you can bear the pain of parting with her. I can pay a very high price."

Lin Wen laughed and said, "Bullshit! I don't even dare to order you around. Where do you get the guts from?"

Fatty Zhang's jealousy suddenly disappeared, and he smiled wetly, "You're overstepping your bounds. Could you please tell your secretary if she can fulfill a special request of mine? I'll pay you one million."

Just as Lin Wen was about to start cursing, Fatty Zhang continued, "Chief Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have the guts to do that. Just let your secretary step on me."

As someone who had come from a world of cultural boom, Lin Wen had rich experience and instantly understood Fatty Zhang's needs.

One million for every step, what a great thing.

But Fang Weiwei found it incredible. Such a strange request, she whispered, "Ten thousand for one step? You're not going to let me step on him there, are you? I won't do that."

Lin Wen quickly said, "No, no, he is the fat guy from yesterday. You stepped on him where you did yesterday, and you stepped on him where you did today."

Although Fang Weiwei felt strange, she thought about it and felt that there was nothing to lose. All her belongings were rented, and there was no sign of promotion. Her finances were very tight. The 10,000 yuan would greatly relieve her stress, so she agreed.

Fatty Zhang had already laid down, and with the support of Lin Wen, Fang Weiwei's kick almost made him feel like his soul was leaving his body.

Then, Lin Wen carried three large black suitcases and got on a special car with Fang Weiwei and went back.

The other six were filled with admiration: "He really is so powerful, he has no scruples."

"We're on a big ship this time."

"Prosperity and wealth are just around the corner!"

"Brothers! I did a rough calculation. According to County Chief Lin's plan, we can make at least 60 million in net profit."

“Haha, it’s done, it’s done!”

"Where's Lao Zhang?"

Everyone turned around and saw Fatty Zhang lying on the ground.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

“Everyone rolled their eyes.”

"Is there something wrong with Lao Zhang?"

"Is sexual atrophy considered a disease?"

Only Lao Zhang kept muttering in his dream: "Pink, pink, today is pink."

Lin Wen returned to the County Hall and went straight to the Finance Department. He put down three large suitcases and a bang startled everyone.

"A total of 15.99 million yuan. Click now and deposit it immediately into the account as special funds for post-disaster reconstruction. The previously halted reconstruction plan will be immediately activated. Don't waste a second."

The director of the Finance Department was confused. "Where did this come from?"

Lin Wen sneered, "I used my connections to get the Empire to give priority to post-disaster reconstruction funds."

The director of the Finance Department couldn't believe it: "There's such a thing? How come I've never heard of it?"

Lin Wen was too lazy to say anything more: "I have something else to do, you hurry up and do it. If I find out that there is a penny missing, watch out for your head."
