If you're lucky, you'll definitely be sitting on a mountain of gold and silver; if you're unlucky, you might squander everything in your house and end up with a mountain of debt.
This person is like a madman with lofty ideals who deliberately takes crooked and unorthodox paths and is extremely opportunistic.
But acting skills are just acting skills. When it comes to real-world situations, superficial skills simply cannot completely mask a lack of knowledge.
The more Zheng Mingyu listened, the happier he became, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
This kid was indeed bluffing; he was all show and no substance.
Zheng Mingyu then brought up the project he had originally planned: "The Xinjie acquisition project has a very high profit potential and the risk factor assessment is not high."
However, the only drawback is that this investment is particularly large.
If we invest in this project now, it will drain 80% of the company's working capital.
This is also the main reason why we invited Mr. Lu here today.
I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks?
This project is impeccable, both in terms of its plan and its feasibility for subsequent implementation.
If it succeeds, it will definitely be a huge income.
But he had already heard that news had come down from above that a new official document would be issued for the Xinjie area, to consolidate the land there.
Development there will have to be suspended at that time.
The development of this land will then be indefinitely delayed.
As a shareholder of the Lu Group, Zheng Mingyu did not intend to push the Lu Group to the brink of disaster.
Whenever this place is redeveloped, making money is a sure thing; he won't lose money.
His target was the shares held by Lu Haotian.
Once Lu Haotian agrees to sign the project, he will withdraw 80% of the Lu Group's working capital.
Stopping development in this area is tantamount to withholding 80% of the working capital.
If other projects suddenly require funds, the Lu family cannot simply declare bankruptcy if they cannot come up with the money.
You can either get a bank loan or seek private financing.
He had already made arrangements with the bank, making it even more difficult for Lu to get a loan.
Then financing is the only option.
Then he can use his priority in financing to increase the weight of his shares.
One rises as the other falls.
Zheng Mingyu believed that if this continued, his shareholding would definitely surpass that of the headstrong Lu family.
At that time, the Lu family will become the Zheng family.
Shareholders who suffer losses due to equity dilution and need an outlet for their frustrations won't go to him, but rather to Lu Haotian.
Lu Haotian frowned slightly, looking deep in thought.
He answered decisively, "No."
Withdrawing 80% of the liquid funds on the books is too risky.
If anything goes wrong, the group will be unable to operate.
The stagnation of other projects led to even greater losses for the group.
Therefore, I disagree.
Lu Haotian certainly couldn't agree to this plan.
Just from the words "high returns" and "low risks," this man who's gone crazy thinking about bankruptcy can't agree!
The shareholders who think he's a venture capitalist: ???
Where did your unwavering determination go? Weren't all those projects you approved riskier than this one?
Zheng Mingyu's expression was almost cracking.
He never expected that Lu Haotian would reject such a great project!
Did he receive some kind of message beforehand?
Or was his previous act of knowing nothing a pretense of innocence a way to lull him into a false sense of security?
Zheng Mingyu felt a slight sense of wariness towards Lu Haotian.
However, he still spoke earnestly, advising his juniors as if he were teaching them: "I don't think the investment risk of this project is very high."
Moreover, the research on the project itself was quite good.
This is much better than what President Lu had previously agreed to.
Your grandfather and I are good friends, and he treats you like a younger member of his own family. I feel compelled to offer you some advice.
Now that you've just taken this position, it's time to deliver results and earn everyone's trust.
Being overly timid and hesitant is not good.
"Or, why don't you think about it again?"
Lu Haotian frowned slightly, leaned back in his chair as if to appear deep in thought, rested his elbows on the armrests, and crossed his fingers in front of his chest.
With a cold look in his eyes, he questioned Zheng Mingyu: "The fact that the risk is not great means that there is still a risk."
Can Grandpa Zheng guarantee that if this project is signed, he will bear all the consequences for any problems arising from it?
Although the old man always appeared kind, Lu Haotian knew very well that a grandfather who would allow his grandson to cause trouble outside the door was definitely not a good person.
He originally felt that the project did not align with his goal of going bankrupt, which is why he did not sign it.
But now that the old man has been advising him repeatedly, Lu Haotian has become wary of him.
There's definitely something wrong with this project.
Out of self-preservation, Lu Haotian instinctively wanted to refute.
But his train of thought suddenly stopped.
Isn't ripping him off exactly what he wanted?
Or... should we just sign it?
Ignoring Zheng Mingyu's unpleasant expression, Lu Haotian silently picked up the document again and pretended to glance at it.
"But on second thought, what Grandpa Zheng said does make sense."
Large investments yield large returns.
However, the funds in the account should be allocated to the projects I mentioned earlier first.
"We can buy the land first, and then start operations later."
Good wine needs no bush.
Since this project is a huge pitfall, it's not too late for him to harvest the profits from the smaller pitfalls first, and then leisurely jump into the big pit.
Before Zheng Mingyu could even be happy that he had agreed to take the lead on the project, he heard him say that he would buy the land first and then invest in the project later.
How can this be allowed?
The official document to suspend development should be issued about two weeks later.
If he doesn't get that brat from the Lu family to transfer all the money within half a month, what's the point of all this scheme?
Just sit back and wait for the development to happen so they can make a fortune, and then all the credit goes to him?
Zheng Mingyu became increasingly suspicious that Lu Haotian had known all along that an official document was going to be issued.
Otherwise, how could he have so accurately secured the benefits while avoiding the risks?
Zheng Mingyu said with a look of exasperation, "It's good that you know my good intentions."
However, time is of the essence; if projects in this emerging industry are delayed, they may miss the opportunity to seize the market.
We should still keep pushing forward and seize the initiative, don't you think?
Lu Haotian resolutely objected.
"Haste makes waste. This is not a small investment, so we should proceed cautiously and steadily."
He hasn't yet arranged those small projects that are sure to lose money.
My luck has been frighteningly good lately.
Too many things backfire, and instead of building up some savings to calm your nerves, you jump straight into high-difficulty challenges.
Lu Haotian was afraid that if the project really made a lot of money, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Zheng Mingyu was so angry at him that he almost vomited blood. He was like, "Either do as I say, or whoever tries to persuade me will have to bear all the consequences."
