Chapter 106 Cooperation with Panshi
Lin Ruoyan did not show up at the internal commendation meeting herself, but arranged for Feng Qiang to bring Wang Xiaohao to represent the company.
Feng Qiang, a skilled speaker, quickly discovered that among the attendees was a representative of Panshi Metallurgy, the domestic investor behind the overseas mining project. This representative had come to donate money to express gratitude to the country for its swift response to the scourge. They said that if the group were allowed to continue their evil deeds, their project might also be affected, with dire consequences.
Lin Ruoyan had already discussed her desire to find the real contact person for the project with the president's office. It wasn't just a matter of finding a company name or phone number; it required finding someone who had a say. And she couldn't just beg for help; she had to be more tactful and reliable.
Seeing this rare opportunity, Feng Qiang exchanged business cards with the representative and cordially invited him to visit the Lin Group and the real estate company. Since the representative had no pressing business in Beijing, he agreed.
After all, Lin's Industry is a well-known company in the north. This time, he heard that it was the people in the Lin family who cooperated and provided a lot of clues and help, which allowed the gang to be arrested so quickly. The representative gladly accepted the invitation.
The next day, Lin Ruoyan brought Qin Shuang, Feng Qiang, and Lu Gan to the Lin Group's CBD headquarters for a meeting. Three representatives from Panshi Metallurgy were also present.
Lin Ruxu had postponed other matters for this meeting, as Panshi Metallurgy was considered one of the leading private companies in the domestic metallurgical industry. They primarily processed metal minerals like stainless steel and nickel, boasting a variety of independently developed advanced technologies. If the Lin Group wanted to expand into new categories, a strong alliance would undoubtedly lead to faster growth than going it alone.
Lin Ruoyan barely scratched the surface of the real estate industry, and her main purpose for attending the conference was to learn more. Panshi Metallurgy's visit was invited by Lin Ruoyan's subordinates, and their connection stemmed from her previous exposure of a criminal gang. Lin Ruxu also wanted to expose her sister to more industrial matters, so she made some special arrangements.
Lin Ruxu has been at the helm of the Lin Group, a multi-billion dollar enterprise, for five years. Previously, he assisted his parents in running the business and has a deep understanding of many things in the industry. The more he talked with the representatives of Panshi Metallurgy about the cooperation between the two companies, the more speculative they became.
Originally, these representatives were a little worried because the two leaders of the Lin family were so young. Later, they found that Lin Ruxu was knowledgeable and experienced, and his words and deeds were very convincing, which subtly gave them the confidence to cooperate.
Lin Ruoyan did not interrupt the whole time. During the tea break, the representatives asked about Lin Ruxu. Lin Ruxu said that her sister's company was mainly a real estate company, and she also talked about several projects she had done recently. Everyone realized that this daughter of the Lin family was by no means an ordinary person.
Typically, wealthy daughters with a brilliant brother like Lin Ruxu wouldn't embark on new ventures of their own; those who join the family business under their older brother's wing are considered ambitious. Unexpectedly, despite appearing gentle and demure, Lin Ruoyan has actually opened up a new frontier for the Lin family, specifically a key industry that has been promoted domestically in the past two years. Her foresight and vision are truly admirable.
After a deeper conversation, they heard that it was Lin Ruoyan who first discovered the problem of reporting the gang and insisted on seeking justice for the employees and not turning a blind eye. She has such a high sense of morality and responsibility, and her willingness to protect her employees is definitely something that employees of other companies would envy.
Therefore, Lin Ruoyan remained very low-key at today's meeting, perhaps deliberately keeping a low profile. In a family, harmony is achieved only when one person is in charge and priorities are clearly defined. Panshi Metallurgy is also a family business, and they know that if the Lin siblings are both talented but still openly and covertly compete, such an undercurrent in the business is not suitable for long-term development, and it is even more impossible to rashly cooperate.
Now Lin Ruoyan is obviously doing everything to save face for her brother. The brother and sister trust each other and live in harmony. Their future prospects are immeasurable.
Of course, Lin Ruoyan wasn't deliberately keeping a low profile, but she couldn't get involved in the conversation. They were all talking about the inside story of current industrial development, and she had never paid attention to these industries in the real world. If she rashly responded, she would easily make a fool of herself.
All she could say was about the development of new energy in about twenty years' time. She knew these were merely concepts everyone would know by then, and there wasn't a suitable opportunity to bring them out now. It would be too abrupt to talk about the benefits of nickel ore, how it could be used to make high-end batteries, and how everyone would drive rechargeable cars. She couldn't explain the underlying scientific principles.
However, she really hoped that her brother could reach a long-term cooperation agreement with Panshi Metallurgy and acquire a stake in the nickel mine. Once that was settled, she would find an opportunity to discuss the new energy sector with her brother privately.
The meeting ended and the business dinner began. This was arranged by her brother, who was afraid that his sister would have to spend the money. Lin Ruoyan had already secured her monthly quota, so she stopped arguing with her brother about the tens of thousands of dollars in dinner money.
During the dinner, Feng Qiang was mainly responsible for drinking, while Qin Shuang and Lu Gan tacitly discussed the luxury housing projects, international schools, and biomedical base projects.
The representatives of Panshi Metallurgy are all wealthy individuals, yet Panshi's headquarters are not in Beijing. During the era of the novel, many successful individuals considered purchasing property in the capital, or even purchasing a house to support their children's education there. Therefore, Lu Gan focused on promoting the first two, with only a passing mention of the biopharmaceutical base. This demonstrates that Lin's Real Estate is not solely focused on traditional real estate, but also has experience in asset-light operations.
The fact that buying a luxury house could get you into a famous international school immediately caught the attention of everyone present. Not only the three representatives from other places, but other senior executives of the Lin Group also became interested in this.
Lin's is a private company, but it has always adhered to the principle of not going public, allowing senior executives to participate in the company. Profits aren't concentrated in the hands of a few, but are returned to employees to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, anyone qualified to sit here and have dinner with me must be worth tens of millions.
In fact, simply buying a good house to live in is not what attracts them most. What they value is the value of the internal room number.
Lu Gan mentioned that the Lin Group had internal employee benefits, granting employees priority to subscribe to the luxury housing project. Even if they didn't want it later, they could get their deposits refunded and their orders modified, and then transfer the status to another prospective buyer when the contract was signed. The underlying message was self-explanatory; anyone who understood would get it.
This project consists of just over 200 units, small in scale but high in quality. Scarcity makes things valuable. If housing prices rise monthly, you can make a killing by paying a deposit to qualify for a home purchase, then wait a month or two for the pre-sale permit to come through and then transfer your eligibility to a higher price.
Luxury housing projects are said to cost 10 to 20 million yuan per unit, with a deposit of 3 to 4 million yuan, making it impossible for the average person to participate. However, if one is confident in the project and believes that Beijing housing prices will continue to rise—40,000 yuan per square meter this year, 50,000 yuan next year, and double in a few years—then this investment is a sure win, with higher returns than bank deposits.
