The other party finally expressed his thoughts. After learning about the other party's background, Zhou Yuan burst into laughter again.
The two of them kept playing charades with each other, until Zheng Qiang finally couldn't pretend anymore and came straight to the point:
"I beg you, can't I just beg you? My difficulties haven't been discovered yet, and if you don't sell it, I really don't know who to turn to. After all, we've known each other for a while. Even if we can't be best friends, we're at least half friends, right?
You helped me through this difficult time, what will happen in the future? I, Zheng, will never be vague. "
The other party had actually said this, and Zhou Yuan couldn't remain indifferent, but he definitely wouldn't help others for no reason.
Since the other party mentioned selling land, he tentatively asked, "Which land does Mr. Zheng plan to sell to me?"
"Currently, I have a total of six plots of land, each of which is about several dozen acres. The six locations are different. Two are in the imperial capital, two are in the magic city, and two are in our provincial capital. You can choose one, and I will sell it to you. Let's be frank and say I will give you a higher price, okay?"
"Haha, Mr. Zheng is really something." Zhou Yuan laughed and said, it's not that I don't want to offer a higher price, it's just the current market conditions, it's like this, you said I can't possibly lie to you, I'll buy it from you at the market price?
After saying that, Zhou Yuan revealed a number. It was 14% off before, and this time I will give you 16% off. Just choose the one in the capital. That should be fine, right?
"Brother, can't you give me an 88% discount? I'm losing so much money. I see the company is facing difficulties, and now I'm losing so much. I really don't know what to do."
Seeing how pitiful the other party sounded, Lu Yuan finally agreed to Zheng Qiang's request and offered a 12% discount on the price.
This is also because they are from the same hometown and have known each other for so long.
In addition, considering the market conditions at the time, an 12% discount was not a loss. After all, Zheng Qiang got it for nearly 600 million yuan, and now with an 18% discount, he has lost more than 70 million yuan, which is considered good.
The land that Zheng Qiang acquired was all good land, and when the market conditions were good, Zhou Yuan would develop this piece of land first.
Later, he made a fortune by relying on this piece of land. Because when many people began to rush to buy land, the land was gone and the price was rising rapidly.
It was worth more than 500 million yuan at that time, and two years later it was sold for more than 700 million yuan, with a net profit of 200 million yuan.
It was a good deal overall. Later, seeing that Zhou Yuan's development business was booming, Zheng Qiang said with deep regret:
"Brother, you've made a killing. If I'd known this would happen, I would have gritted my teeth and refused to sell it. It's such a great piece of land, and now you can't even buy it even if you have money. How could I be so stupid?"
Zhou Yuan patted his shoulder normally and laughed heartily, saying, "Boss Zheng, are you stupid? You're not stupid at all. If you hadn't sold that piece of land and made over 500 million yuan, would you have been able to get through the difficulties back then?"
"If you fail, your company will be gone. How can you continue developing now? In difficult times, the first thing you need to do is survive. Survival is the only way. You know that."
"That's right, brother. You saw my weakness and forced me to lower my price. You bought the land I worked so hard to acquire, and you sold it to me at a low price. If I hadn't been in urgent need of money and the company was facing a crisis, I definitely wouldn't have sold it to you."
Zheng Qiang gnashed his teeth in anger and really wanted to slap himself, but Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Boss Zheng, there's no need to blame yourself. No one could have predicted it back then. Now that I've made money, you laugh at me and say I'm lucky.
If this downturn continues, in a few years, I'll lose money myself. Then you'll be glad you acted early, but it works both ways, right? Investing is about winning, but it's not always going to be that way."
After Zhou Yuan's counseling, Zheng Qiang stopped talking, but in his heart, this matter was still a hurdle that he could not overcome.
For many years he has not forgotten this incident, the process that almost caused the company to go bankrupt.
So later when the cold winter came, this guy became smart and kept the abundant funds firmly in his hands. He never sold the land at a low price due to lack of funds again.
On the contrary, if you take advantage of others, you will also taste the sweetness of getting a bargain.
Although this guy said that he hated Zhou Yuan and took advantage of him at the critical moment, deep down in his heart, he was even very grateful to Zhou Yuan.
Because under the circumstances at the time, if Zhou Yuan refused to make a move and was unwilling to buy, without saying a word about such a bargain, Zheng Qiang's company would be in danger. Without money to pay salaries, the employees would definitely leave.
In addition, there are so many material suppliers and so many customers who are asking for payment. It is obviously not right not to pay them, and my life will be difficult.
It's really too much. If they take necessary actions, their company will be in real danger.
So in that situation, he had no choice, and Zhou Yuan could be said to have really helped him.
I helped him through the difficult times and at the same time I got the upper hand, but at that time it was hard to say, and no one knew what would happen next.
If something worth more than 500 million yuan continues to depreciate, it may not be worth 200 million yuan. If that happens, Zhou Yuan will suffer a huge loss.
Fortunately, everything is over. Zhou Yuan did not suffer any loss, and Zheng Qiang helped the company overcome the difficulties.
So the company is in a bit of a difficult situation now, and it has to rely entirely on raising money to acquire land and carry out development. But as long as the company is still there and the people are still there, the current situation is very good.
Zheng Qiang believes that with his many years of management experience and the quality of his current employees, it is only a matter of time before the company takes off.
The first thing to do is to raise money, then acquire land, and develop the remaining land as soon as possible. Only by developing it can you make money, otherwise where will the money come from, right?
It is said that a penny can kill a hero. Zheng Qiang, who was once famous and extravagant, was very generous and always spent luxury goods and big brands. Who would have thought that he would end up like this?
When he faced the difficulties faced by the company, he realized the importance of money and recalled what Zhou Yuan said when he made fun of Zhou Yuan.
I remember there was an industry meeting once, Zheng Qiang and Zhou Yuan were there. In order to attend this meeting, Zheng Qiang had already prepared a very beautiful set of luxury clothes, and even his tie cost several thousand yuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan's clothes were very ordinary. Although his clothes and pants were not sold at street stalls, they were just those from ordinary specialty stores.
His clothes and trousers cost over a hundred, his leather shoes over a hundred, and his tie a few dozen, that was all. Compared to Zheng Qiang, he was completely different class.
So this guy laughed and said, "Wow, Mr. Zhou, why are you dressed so poorly? You're so stingy!"
"We have no money, we are poor, unlike Mr. Zheng, who looks like a big boss, awesome!
We are a poor family with a small business, and it is difficult to even pay our brothers’ wages, so we use that money to buy clothes!
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Zheng Qiang said disdainfully, "Just keep pretending. Everyone knows you have plenty of money. In other words, you're stingy and a miser. You don't even want to spend your money. I really don't understand what's going on with you."
