After all, businessmen prioritize their own interests above all else; promises and such come second.
But no matter what, Hu Yuan still had to say it in advance, because Liu Mingfang was an absolutely smart person, and she couldn't possibly not see that the Long family was going to make a move against her.
By positioning himself in opposition to the Long family in advance, Hu Yuan was able to resolve some of the crises facing the Mingfang Group.
So if Liu Mingfang can see this, she might actually be able to help him out.
"Since we're all friends, isn't it normal for friends to help each other? Besides, since we're also business partners, if someone messes with Mr. Hu, it's like threatening my livelihood. How can I just stand by and do nothing?"
Unsurprisingly, Liu Mingfang agreed, and she said it very eloquently.
Regardless of the final outcome, Hu Yuanbi's goal has been achieved.
Moreover, Mingfang Group was the first company that Hu Yuan proactively proposed to cooperate with.
Everyone else had to go to the door to ask for opportunities and wait in line to be chosen.
After settling this matter, Hu Yuan immediately returned to the company to await news from Chen Chao.
Once the project was finalized, Hu Yuan could immediately begin to invest in it.
It must be said that Chen Chao is also very capable. Hu Yuan received his call the next day, and he had already arrived at Xiaotun Road before Hu Yuan.
When Hu Yuan arrived, Chen Chao had already successfully bought six houses.
The speed at which they handled things was truly impressive, even to Hu Yuan.
With their combined efforts, they successfully bought all the houses on Xiaotun Road in a single day.
What's left are the commercial buildings.
And the most difficult one to deal with is definitely the Long family's dance hall.
This matter requires Hu Yuan's personal intervention.
"Mr. Hu, I really admire you more and more. The project that was just signed is already in your hands. It's simply amazing."
When Long Pingsheng met Hu Yuan, he did not avoid the topic; instead, he gave Hu Yuan a thumbs up and praised him.
"Mr. Long, there's no need to flatter me like that. This kind of project is just a waste of money, losing money while gaining publicity. You wouldn't even look at it."
Hu Yuan pretended to be helpless.
However, in Long Pingsheng's view at this time, that was indeed the case. Even if this project came to him, he would have to think it over carefully before deciding whether to accept it or not.
"No matter what, Mr. Hu, you must be a favorite of the provincial leaders now. How can we compare?"
Long Pingsheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Long, let's not beat around the bush. Name your price for the dance hall on Xiaotun Street."
Hu Yuan knew that he had offended this guy before and humiliated his son, so this time he was sure that the guy would make an exorbitant demand. Therefore, he had already prepared himself mentally.
Moreover, if this premise weren't present, given Long Pingsheng's cunning nature, he might have created other trouble for himself.
"Mr. Hu, it's not that I'm being disrespectful to you, but the Long family relies on this for a living. If it's shut down, what else can we do?"
Sure enough, Long Pingsheng's tone suggested he was about to rip Hu Yuan off badly.
"Alright, since you're unwilling to tell me, I'll tell you first and see if you're willing to accept it."
Hu Yuan knew this guy had big ambitions, so he decided to speak for himself to prevent him from saying anything even more outrageous.
"Alright, let's hear Mr. Hu's insights first."
In Long Pingsheng's view, Hu Yuan couldn't come up with much money, so he wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Hu Yuan as a form of revenge.
“I know you’re in this business, so I can’t completely cut off your source of income. I will do my best to help you apply for a lease in a prime location so that your dance hall can still be there after the reconstruction of Xiaotun Road. I will also be responsible for all the decorations, and it will definitely be more upscale than before.”
Long Pingsheng smiled without saying a word, which was naturally what he most wanted to hear.
"Also, since I caused you to lose some income for a period of time, I have to make it up to you. I will pay the rent for this place for the next two years."
This was a temptation for Long Pingsheng.
Because this kind of thing would never be made public, Long Pingsheng wouldn't tell anyone in his family, and in the end, the money would end up in his pocket.
"Besides, these employees of yours have been your capable assistants for many years. You can't just lay them off like this, as it would have a negative impact on you. And you can't afford to keep them at your own expense. I'll take care of their salaries during this period. How about that?"
Actually, this matter is unnecessary, because someone like Long Pingsheng wouldn't care about whether those employees stay or leave.
But Hu Yuan said it out loud, which shows that he was considering Long Pingsheng's interests in everything he did.
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Mr. Hu's arrangements are indeed spot on. In that case, I have nothing more to say. It's a pleasure to cooperate."
After hearing this, Long Pingsheng burst into laughter and immediately agreed to Hu Yuan's request.
This was the most unexpected thing for Hu Yuan.
Since the house originally belonged to the Long Group, Hu Yuan was originally planning to say one last thing: the house would be sold to him for 500,000.
But before he could even say those words, Long Pingsheng immediately agreed.
In other words, he doesn't need to buy it now; he only needs to meet the previous conditions.
Hu Yuan chuckled inwardly, thinking that this guy's appetite wasn't that big after all.
That's incredibly poor judgment. A house in this location will be worth a fortune in ten years.
Although the compensation Hu Yuan just received cost over a million yuan, it was well worth it.
Moreover, there's no need to take out the money immediately.
"Mr. Long is indeed a straightforward person. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
Fearing that the guy might change his mind, Hu Yuan immediately stood up, shook hands, and had someone prepare the contract.
Once this troublesome guy was dealt with, the others weren't so much of a problem.
With the cooperation of Hu Yuan and Chen Chao, they bought all the houses on the street in less than three days.
However, this has already exhausted all of Hu Yuan's current funds.
"Mr. Hu, the next step is to contact the construction team and discuss the rental and purchase of building materials, machinery, and tools."
Back in his office, Chen Chao immediately spoke to Hu Yuandao.
"Keep a close eye on them and make sure those people move out as soon as possible. I'll handle these things quickly."
Hu Yuan remained calm in the face of so many questions from Chen Chao.
This is what Chen Chao admires most about Hu Yuan. If it were someone else, he would probably have immediately asked his subordinates to make arrangements.
But Hu Yuan was different. He didn't expect his subordinates to solve everything; instead, he would find solutions himself.
No matter how complicated things are, they will not become chaotic.
Of course, what Chen Chao didn't know was that Hu Yuan had already secured Mingfang Group, which meant the purchase of building materials was settled. They could just go over and discuss it in detail later.
As for tools and machinery, Mingfang Group also has some involvement in these areas. Even if they don't have a full range of businesses, they were able to help Hu Yuan make connections before.
