However, risks often mean high returns, and the benefits of cooperating with the Duanmu family are obvious. The cunning and shrewd Tang Yijin was unwilling to let go easily.
This needs to be carefully considered.
Tang Yijin asked, "I've heard that the Duanmu family's investments are mainly in real estate and property, and they also hold shares in some large companies, but they don't seem to be involved in many other areas. With this foray into the domestic market, I wonder in which sector the Duanmu family plans to expand into?"
Duanmu Ci had a plan in mind, and spoke eloquently, "According to the family's recent decision, we are still prepared to test the waters in the real estate sector. The family attaches great importance to this expansion in China and has provided a large amount of reserve funds as a backing, which should be enough to cope with the current situation."
Tang Yijin felt slightly relieved, since the real estate industry was not the traditional sphere of influence of the Tang family. However, he was not optimistic about, or rather, did not agree with, the Duanmu family's decision.
"The domestic real estate industry is indeed booming and highly profitable right now, but your family is new here, so it may not be easy for you to get started."
"Making a breakthrough can be difficult or easy, it all comes down to money and connections. With your family's abundant funds, you can freely engage in bidding, so you won't have to worry about finding business. As for smoothing things over with superiors and subordinates and cultivating connections, we'll have to rely on your expertise. After all, the Tang family has deep roots and influence that is incomparable to that of ordinary families."
Tang Yijin nodded and responded, then closed his eyes and began to sip his tea. It seemed that he was getting old and couldn't withstand the long conversation; his mind was not quite able to take it.
At this moment, Tang Jingchang, the second son of the Tang family, suddenly said, "I've been sitting here listening to Young Master Duanmu speak for quite a while now, and he speaks very well! But after thinking about it carefully, something's not right! It seems I've only heard about the benefits for the Duanmu family, but not about the benefits for my Tang family. This business... isn't done this way. Tell me, am I right or not?"
Duanmu Ci smiled and said, "Uncle Tang is right. My Duanmu family always believes in win-win cooperation. We would never do anything to benefit ourselves alone. By cooperating with my Duanmu family, the Tang family will naturally also benefit!"
The eldest brother, Tang Tingshu, asked, "Where will the benefits come from?"
“I’ve heard that the Tang family has opened many large shopping malls with extremely high profits. However, due to funding issues, these malls have only opened twenty or thirty stores in a few major cities in the east and haven’t achieved much scale. If the Tang family is willing to be the guide for my Duanmu family’s expansion into the domestic market, then the family is willing to cooperate with the Tang family to open Tang’s shopping malls all over the country.”
Tang Tingshu was deeply moved. "This is no small sum of money."
The Tang family's shopping mall business is a new project. It's not large in scale, but it's quite profitable. However, due to funding issues, they can't expand, and the Tang family doesn't want to accept loans, so the matter has been dragging on. Now that they hear the Duanmu family is actually willing to help them solve this problem, how could they not be moved?
"Of course, it's not a small amount, but I believe this deal won't be a loss. Not only do I trust the Tang family, but my clan also trusts them. My clan is willing to invest proportionally and cooperate with the Tang family to expand Tang's Business. I wonder if the benefits proposed by my clan will satisfy the Tang family?"
Tang Tingshu then asked, "I wonder how much your family plans to invest in this place?" He wasn't stupid; of course he had to ask this. Otherwise, if the Duanmu family just casually offered a few tens of millions to fob him off, wouldn't his Tang family become a laughingstock? This tiger was unacceptable!
Duanmu Ci replied, "About 500 million US dollars."
This figure undoubtedly shocked the Tang brothers. Even the Tang family might not have the courage and confidence to come up with 500 million US dollars in one go! It's not that the Tang family didn't have the money, but their money was too fixed, and they really couldn't come up with it in a hurry!
Moreover, they all expressed their admiration for Duanmu Ci, saying that he was able to preside over such a large-scale cooperation at such a young age, and that his future was limitless!
In family affairs involving huge sums of money, how could the brothers Tang Tingshu and Tang Jingchang make decisions? They all turned their gazes to their silent, closed-eye father.
"good!"
After a long while, Tang Yijin suddenly opened his eyes, his murky and aged appearance vanished, and his eyes shone with a sharp light. "This business will be done by the Tang family!"
Duanmu Ci stood up, extended his hand, and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Tang Yijin also stood up, reached out and shook hands, "Pleasure doing business with you!"
