"The boss behind this building is Zhang Zichen, a wealthy man! He's in his forties and I heard he even has several mistresses while in the Magic City."
"He's been in the real estate industry for over a decade and has developed numerous skyscrapers and buildings. Four or five years ago, he was on the China Rich List. At that time, his net worth was nearly 10 billion."
"However, the real estate market has been sluggish in recent years, and his assets have been tied up in the properties he developed, shrinking significantly..."
After closing the door of the chairman's office, Chen Yuan took Hu Yibao to Zhang Zichen and told Hu Yibao the important information he had collected recently.
"However, I heard from other company owners in this building that Zhang Zichen is quite cunning! We need to be on our guard against him later..."
Because the 15th floor of New World is under renovation.
So we set up a temporary lounge on the 16th floor.
Zhang Zichen was waiting there.
Pushing open the door of the lounge, Hu Yibao saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who was white and plump, sitting on the sofa and drinking tea leisurely.
He is Zhang Zichen.
Seeing Hu Yibao coming, Zhang Zichen stood up slowly, the fat on his face trembled, and after looking him up and down, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he stretched out his hands with a smile on his face, walked over quickly, and spoke in an extremely familiar tone.
"Mr. Hu, I've long heard of you!"
"Seeing you today, it's true that heroes emerge from youth!"
"Mr. Zhang, I've heard a lot about you!" Hu Yibao smiled and shook hands with Zhang Zichen. Then he got straight to the point and asked, "I heard that Mr. Zhang came to my New World mainly because he has a big business deal. Do you want to discuss it with me?"
Hu Yibao was too lazy to be polite to this kind of businessman.
If you can get straight to the point, do so.
Zhang Zichen nodded quickly and said, "That's indeed the case."
"Mr. Hu is well-known, and he was able to come up with hundreds of millions of yuan at once to buy eight floors of my building. He must be quite wealthy."
"I just happen to have a big business deal here, and I want to discuss it with Mr. Hu."
Listen to Zhang Zichen's words.
Hu Yibao couldn't help but smile in his heart, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, please speak frankly."
"Okay!" Zhang Zichen nodded, "Then I won't beat around the bush."
"I recently developed a new real estate project and I'm short of money."
The fact that Zhang Zichen’s real estate development led to a broken capital chain is no longer news.
I didn't expect this guy to invest on his own.
Hu Yibao looked at Zhang Zichen and couldn't help but asked with a smile, "How much is missing?"
Zhang Zichen chuckled and said, "One billion!"
"Mr. Hu, if you inject another billion, this property will be fully developed. This property, located in the future Shanghai's school district and subway station, has huge potential for appreciation."
"If you don't believe me, Mr. Hu, look, this is the blueprint!"
As if to support his statement, Zhang Zichen quickly took out a blueprint from his briefcase.
Spread it out and place it in front of Hu Yibao.
"This is the property I'm currently developing, Golden Century. In the future, there will be a subway station in front of it and a public school in Shanghai behind it. The location is quite advantageous."
"I'm only willing to bring you into our group because of Mr. Hu's youth and potential, and I'd like to make friends with you. I wouldn't pay any attention to anyone else."
Everything shown on the plan was just as Zhang Zichen had said.
However, Hu Yibao couldn't help but shook his head and gently tapped the date below the plan.
"Mr. Zhang, isn't this the plan from six years ago?"
"How's the subway school going now?"
As if being asked about the crucial point, Zhang Zichen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, "Officials are preparing for construction. It's almost done, almost done!"
“It will probably be implemented within three years.”
"By that time, our buildings will be built, and housing prices will start to rise."
"Maybe it can break through 100,000!"
"How about this, Mr. Hu? You invest 1 billion and I'll give you a quarter of the shares. In the future, this 1 billion will definitely make you a profit of 5 billion!"
Zhang Zichen is painting a rosy picture for himself!
Hu Yibao couldn't help but smile.
Even if you know that by investing 1 billion, you can earn 5 billion in three years.
It is impossible for Hu Yibao to invest in it.
This rate of return is too low!
It's obviously a losing business.
However, he still wanted to buy the eighth floor of the building from Zhang Zichen, so it would be inappropriate for him to be too firm at the moment.
Hu Yibao sighed softly and said tactfully.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhang, I need to think about it first."
"After all, 1 billion is not a small amount."
"How about tomorrow?" Zhang Zichen asked hurriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zichen seemed to realize that he was a little too impatient, and then explained, "It's mainly because many friends are asking me about real estate investment. It would be a pity if Mr. Hu didn't seize the time."
"After all, I say this because I consider you, Mr. Hu, a friend."
"Hahaha, I understand." Hu Yibao said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, let's talk about this building first!"
"Eighth floor, six hundred million!"
“Is this the price?”
"Yes, that's right!" Zhang Zichen nodded. "This is a discounted price I'm giving you for your honor, Mr. Hu..."
After Zhang Zichen finished speaking, Hu Yibao said directly, "Five hundred million for the eighth floor!"
"Let's make a fixed price. If it's a deal, we'll prepare the contract now. After we sign the contract tomorrow, the money will be deposited immediately."
"If it doesn't work..." Hu Yibao sighed.
"Alas! I can only move my new world to some other place."
Hu Yibao sees through Zhang Zichen.
The fact that he is promoting his own property so much and is so eager to buy shares himself is enough to prove how tight his capital chain is now.
If you don't have money yet, it might break tomorrow.
As for school district housing, subway housing and so on.
It would be strange if Hu Yibao believed it!
If this really happened, Zhang Zichen would mortgage the building to the bank and raise money to develop it himself.
Zhang Zichen was stunned for a moment and looked up at Hu Yibao.
Hu Yibao did not show any fear and looked at Zhang Zichen quietly.
This time, I'm sure to defeat him.
Looking around Shanghai, he could now spend 500 million at a time to buy the eighth floor of a building that might even depreciate in value in the future.
Now, I'm probably the only one left.
At this time, Chen Yuan came to Hu Yibao at the right time, bent down, and said, "Boss Hu, it's time for the meeting!"
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Zhang Zichen to hear.
This assist made Zhang Zichen panic, as he would need a large sum of money tomorrow!
With no way out, Zhang Zichen stood up immediately.
"Okay, five hundred million is five hundred million!"
