Chapter 368: 50-50 Profit Sharing
"Mr. Zhao." Jiang Yichen turned around with a decent smile on his face.
After the pleasantries, Zhao Xing got straight to the point: "Mr. Jiang is interested in the land in the west of the city?"
Jiang Yichen picked up the teacup and said calmly, "Indeed. The location of that piece of land is very good, suitable for developing a high-end residential area."
Zhao Xing's eyes gleamed, "To be honest with you, Mr. Jiang, I have been eyeing that piece of land for a long time. But..." He paused, "If Mr. Jiang is willing to cooperate, we can develop it together."
Jiang Yichen put down his teacup, his eyes were sharp: "How do you want to cooperate?"
"I'll provide the land, you'll provide the capital," Zhao Xing took out a contract, "and we'll split the profits 50-50."
Jiang Yichen took the contract and quickly glanced through it. When he saw a certain clause, his pupils shrank slightly. The contract clearly stipulated that all building materials for the project must be purchased from a designated supplier, and that supplier was the company under Lin Qing's name.
"Mr. Zhao," Jiang Yichen closed the contract, "this condition..."
"Mr. Jiang, you can take your time to think about it," Zhao Xing interrupted him, "but..." He glanced at his watch, "I guess you really want to win it."
Jiang Yichen's heart tightened. Sure enough, this was their real purpose. Using Lin Qing to put pressure on him and force him to submit.
"I will seriously consider it," Jiang Yichen stood up, "but before that, I want to see the detailed information of that piece of land."
Mr. Zhao's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Of course, Mr. Jiang is always welcome to come for an on-site inspection."
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Yichen immediately called Lin Nan: "They really have a plan."
At the same time, on the other side of the city, Lin Qing was sitting in his office, waiting for news from Zhao Xing.
"How did the talks with Zhao Xing go?" she asked her assistant.
"Jiang Yichen didn't agree on the spot," the assistant replied, "but judging from his reaction, he should take the bait."
Lin Qing took a sip of red wine, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes: "I must make him pay the price this time. If you dare to snatch the cooperation between me and the Song family, you must be prepared to be retaliated."
"But..." The assistant hesitated, "Jiang Yichen is not that easy to deal with."
"Don't worry," Lin Qing sneered, "I have already set up the trap. As long as he steps in, he will never be able to escape unscathed."
As the night deepened, Jiang Yichen sat in the study with the information of Zhao Xing's company spread out in front of him. Lin Nan's investigation results had been sent over. Zhao Xing and Lin Qing were indeed up to something. It was still unclear what they wanted to do with this piece of land.
The phone rang. It was a message from me: "How is it going?"
"It's not clear yet, but there's no rush."
In a corner of the city, Zhao Xing was sitting in his office, looking at an email on his computer screen. The sender was Lin Qing, and the content was about a "cooperation proposal."
"Interesting," Zhao Xing whispered to himself, "Is this going to be a reenactment of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
He picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Old Chen, help me check the recent movements of the Jiang Group. Yes, especially those related to the Song family."
Soon, the coffee in his hand had gone cold. The investigation report that Lin Nan had just sent was still on the table, which detailed the financial transactions between Zhao Xing and Lin Qing in the past six months.
"Boss Jiang," Lin Nan pushed the door open and came in, "We found out. Zhao Xing recently registered a shell company overseas, specifically for transferring funds."
Jiang Yichen turned around, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "It is true."
"Also," Lin Nan handed over a document, "this is the communication record between Zhao Xing and Lin Qing. They have been in frequent contact recently and seem to be planning something."
Jiang Yichen quickly browsed the documents, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "It seems that they are planning to use that piece of land to make a fuss."
"Then do we still need to continue discussing cooperation with Zhao Xing?" Lin Nan was a little worried.
"Of course," Jiang Yichen walked to the desk, "but this time, we have to use their tricks against us."
He pressed the intercom: "Notify the heads of each department to have a meeting in half an hour."
In the conference room, Jiang Yichen stood in front of the whiteboard and glanced at everyone present: "Everyone, we are about to start a new project. But this project is very special, and I need your full cooperation."
He began to explain the plan in detail. As he spoke, the expressions of the crowd changed from confusion to shock and finally to excitement.
"Mr. Jiang," the financial director couldn't help but ask, "Is this really feasible?"
"Don't worry," Jiang Yichen said confidently, "I've already arranged it. Lin Nan, you'll be in charge of connecting with Zhao Xing. Remember, be more eager."
Lin Nan nodded in understanding: "Understood."
Three days later, Jiang Yichen came to the Peninsula Hotel again. This time, Zhao Xing was obviously more enthusiastic.
"Mr. Jiang, what have you considered?" Zhao Xing asked impatiently.
Jiang Yichen pretended to hesitate: "Boss Zhao, this project is quite risky..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang," Zhao Xing said quickly, "I have contacted several banks, and funding is not a problem. Moreover..." He lowered his voice, "I heard that a subway will be built in the west of the city soon, and the land price will at least triple by then."
Jiang Yichen's eyes flashed with surprise: "Really?"
"It's absolutely true," Zhao Xing vowed, "This is inside information."
Jiang Yichen "hesitated" for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, then do as Mr. Zhao said."
After signing the contract, Zhao Xing couldn't hide his joy: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Jiang."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Jiang Yichen responded with a smile.
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Yichen immediately called me and said, "The plan has begun."
Meanwhile, Lin Qing was celebrating in the office.
"We've got Zhao Xing settled," she told her assistant, "Jiang Yichen has taken the bait."
"Great," the assistant said excitedly, "I'm going to make him lose all his money this time."
Lin Qing took a sip of red wine, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "If you dare to steal my business, you will have to pay the price."
However, what they didn't know was that Jiang Yichen had already laid a dragnet. He contacted many media outlets, ready to expose Zhao Xing and Lin Qing's activities at a critical moment. At the same time, he also secretly acquired shares of Zhao Xing's company, ready to take control at the right time.
A week later, news of a sudden change in the West City subway plan came out, and land prices plummeted. Zhao Xing and Lin Qing were caught off guard, while Jiang Yichen had already escaped unscathed.
"Boss Jiang," Lin Nan reported excitedly, "Zhao Xing's company's stock price has plummeted. We can start the acquisition."
Jiang Yichen stood in front of the French window in his office, overlooking the city below: "No hurry, wait a little longer."
He knew that this game was not over yet. But at least, he had taken the initiative. Now it was Lin Qing's turn to pay the price.
On the other side of the city, Lin Qing was struggling to deal with all kinds of troubles. She finally realized that she might have fallen into a well-designed trap.
"Jiang Yichen..." She gritted her teeth and said, "We'll see."
This business war has just entered its climax.
