There has also been progress with Lü Qiuyi.
Zhu Dafu has not yet taken his eldest son back home; he is staying in a hotel and making phone calls and video calls to sort out the deficit of their Fumantang business.
He plans to sell his house, and his eldest son also intends to contribute by giving up the house and his wife's dowry.
However, the condition is that Zhu Dafu should provide him with some compensation according to a certain percentage after selling Fumantang.
After all, he was his eldest son, his first child. Although Zhu Dafu didn't have much feeling for his ex-wives anymore...
They still have some intention to nurture their eldest son, especially now.
Although the eldest son insisted on keeping clear accounts even between close brothers, compared to his other children who knew the situation but refused to contribute a single penny, he was still quite different.
The eldest son is quite sensible.
So Zhu Dafu took it upon himself to agree.
With the father and son working together, they managed to clarify the deficit:
"The difference is so huge. Sigh, the hole can't be plugged. I doubt Fanyue Real Estate will even consider acquiring it."
Zhu Dafu sighed, already considering resigning.
But Zhu's eldest son, frowning as he did his calculations, tentatively asked, "Dad, should we ask Uncle Lu for help? Although that President Lu is quite cold and ruthless in his words and deeds, he is still Uncle Lu's nephew."
"Uncle Lu's words should carry some weight. Even if the deal almost falls through, we can still borrow some money from him, right?"
The eldest son of the Zhu family knew about the relationship between Zhu Dafu and Lu Sanjiu, even though they didn't grow up in the same neighborhood alley.
Is it because they became close business partners as they got older, or because they shared similar interests, and were compatible in their speech, actions, and personalities?
That's why they got along so well and maintained contact all these years. But Zhu Dafu felt that poverty made people lose their ambition, and borrowing money from a good friend would be too hurtful to the relationship.
Moreover, the fact that Uncle Lu was willing to inquire about the acquisition with General Manager Lu of Fanyue Real Estate was already a form of assistance.
If you can't sell it yourself, so be it. Why bother embarrassing Uncle Lu by pleading for him and asking for money?
That's outrageous.
Zhu Dafu waved his hand without much thought and said to his son:
"Son, we don't even know if we'll be able to make it abroad. Even if we do, will we ever be destitute in the future?"
"You must remember, it's hard to repay favors, so don't borrow from people in the first place!"
"Keep this connection; if your family faces difficulties in the future, they might be able to lend a helping hand!"
Zhu's eldest son was just saying that casually; after all, he wasn't the one who needed to pull strings or use connections.
Hearing Zhu Dafu's meaning, he stopped talking.
However, no matter how the two of them calculated the accounts, there was still a difference of several million.
To be honest, we don't have the resources to sell anything else.
Just as Zhu Dafu was considering whether to withdraw all of his pension funds...
Lü Qiuyi got in touch with him.
Zhu Dafu then realized that his third uncle Lu had pulled some strings, sending the head of the finance department from Fanyue Real Estate, as well as Ms. Lü, the legal director he was already familiar with.
It was for the purpose of the review process in the acquisition, and also to help resolve the problem of Zhu Dafu's Fumantang becoming too large to handle.
When Zhu Dafu heard that his third uncle Lu would also be coming to help, he immediately stopped doubting why Fanyue Real Estate's attitude had changed so quickly.
He and his eldest son both happily agreed:
"With Uncle Lu helping out inside, we have nothing to worry about anymore!"
Uncle Lu not only contributed to the acquisition of Fumantang.
After arranging for Wang Wei and Zhou Huan to expand their territory in the neighboring city, Lu Fan invited his third uncle home for dinner.
Of course, this home is his "maternal home".
After seeing his third uncle, Lu Fan said:
"Uncle, you've been thinking about managing Fanyue Real Estate for so long, have you made up your mind yet?"
Uncle Lu thought that Lu Fan had invited him over to have dinner with his sister because of Fu Mantang's matter.
Unexpectedly, it was something he had long forgotten. Should we go to Fanyue Real Estate Company to help Lu Fan handle business matters there?
Uncle Lu was still somewhat hesitant:
“This… I need to think about it some more, nephew, this is your company after all.”
"No matter how big the business is, it's not good not to talk to your nephew's wife about some things, isn't it?"
When Jiang Manyue was mentioned, Lu Fan smiled:
“What is Uncle worried about? Manyue knows about this, and of course she agrees. We always discuss things together.”
Seeing that Uncle Lu was still trying to refuse, Lu Fan had no choice but to use his ultimate move:
"Uncle, it's not appropriate for me to hand over Fanyue Real Estate Company to anyone. Capable people are bold and generous. It's another matter if they can't hold onto this position. Wouldn't you feel bad if you stabbed me in the back?"
"Although the platform is now high, I would never dare to let anyone escape if they are not our own people or people we can trust."
“Uncle, there are so many business matters to attend to, and I also have other businesses to manage. So if we can’t find a suitable person to take over Fanyue Real Estate Company, it’s very likely that we won’t be able to acquire Fumantang either.”
