“I met him once three years ago and intended to ask him to invest in Wanda. He was very interested at the time, but it didn’t work out for the reasons mentioned above. You know, now the company’s directors, apart from you, are all from state-owned enterprises.”
Lu Desheng nodded and said, "Actually, we also need to invest now. Those few units are also willing to relinquish their responsibilities. If we can get Shen Nansheng involved, we will have much more room to maneuver with our funds."
"Don't rush this, let's settle the Walmart issue first..." Wang Jianlin was halfway through his sentence when his phone rang twice. He quickly picked it up and opened the text message.
"The number has arrived, I'll call it first." He was decisive and efficient; after organizing his thoughts briefly, he dialed Shen Nansheng's number.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Hello, who is this?" Shen Nansheng's voice rang out.
"Hello, is this Mr. Shen Nansheng? I'm Jianlin, Wang Jianlin from Wanda! ... Haha, it's been a long time, Mr. Shen. It's like this..."
Wang Jianlin recounted the matter, mentioning not only his desire to attract Walmart to set up shop there, but also a brief mention of investment.
"...I do know their vice president at Walmart, her name is something like Kelen, she has a really hot body...cough, um, I think she's in Asia recently, which country again? I can introduce you, but I'm in the Netherlands right now and I can't go back before the new year."
"That's alright, Ms. Shen, you don't need to come all the way here. Just help me make the contact, and I'll go talk to her myself!"
"Here's what we'll do. I'll have her go to China and then have someone go with you. He can also learn about your project. Oh, by the way, he's my sworn brother, so his opinion is my opinion. You can discuss the specifics with him. I'll tell him later and then send you his number."
"Okay, Mr. Shen, then I'll trouble you. Thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianlin was all smiles.
"Desheng, it's all thanks to your great suggestion. After going around in circles, we not only found a solution but also gained an unexpected bonus. You truly live up to your name, achieving a resounding victory!"
Lu Desheng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "Chairman Wang is joking. You just didn't think of it at the moment. Has President Shen agreed to help?"
“Yes, he introduced me to Walmart’s vice president, a vice president named Ke Lun who is in charge of store development. I’ve been turned away by her several times, but this time I can finally have a chat,” Wang Jianlin said excitedly.
Lu Desheng was also excited and asked, "So what was the unexpected gain you mentioned earlier? Has President Shen agreed to invest?"
“I won’t agree so quickly, but there’s an opportunity.” Wang Jianlin picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, “President Shen is in the Netherlands and can’t come back for the time being, but he asked his sworn brother to accompany me to see Ke Lun, saying that this sworn brother’s opinion is his opinion.”
Lu Desheng's eyes lit up: "So, as long as we convince this sworn brother of ours, the investment will be considered a done deal?"
"Yes, indeed." Wang Jianlin smiled and exclaimed, "This sworn brother of President Shen seems to be no ordinary person. In any case, we must cultivate a good relationship with him, as it will benefit our future development."
Just then, a text message arrived. He picked it up and looked at it: "Oh, his name is Chu Yang."
…
"Chu Yang, haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
"It'll be ready soon, just wait a little longer."
Chu Yang responded and said into the phone, "Okay, brother, I understand. Wang Jianlin of Wanda, right? And the hot Ms. Ke Lun? I understand, I'll take good care of my sister-in-law."
"Take care of you my foot! Ke Lun, you strong woman, doesn't need anyone to take care of you. You just need to take care of Xiao Li and Chun Yue. Don't be afraid of trouble outside. If anyone dares to mess with you, just do it. If anything happens, your big brother will take care of it for you. Like this big afforestation project, if you had told your big brother earlier, would you have needed to go all the way to Inner Mongolia?"
"Haha, what you say is true, big brother. Actually, it was mainly Xiaoli and Chunyue who wanted to come out and have fun. They had a lot of fun. I'm going to go teach them how to ski now."
"Then go ahead, be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yang put on his ski suit.
"Wang Jianlin of Wanda? He should have just entered the commercial real estate market at this time. The Wanda Plaza is built, and they're preparing to attract Walmart to move in... This is quite a good investment opportunity. When was Wanda at its peak? Was it 2015 or 2016?"
He pondered the prospects of the investment, then got dressed and left the locker room.
Outside, Shen Li and Lou Chunyue were fully equipped with ski suits, helmets, goggles, and knee pads. They stepped onto their skis and waddled a few steps like ducks.
Seeing Chu Yang come out, Xiao Li quickly asked for help: "Chu Yang, how do I skate on this?"
"It's simple, just stand still." Chu Yang walked behind her.
Xiaoli stood still: "And then?"
"Then..." Chu Yang gently nudged her from behind.
Little Pear slid out in a flash.
"Ah...help me..."
She screamed in terror and didn't know how to stop; she could only try to maintain her balance.
At this moment, Chu Yang's voice rang out from the side: "Use the stick to brace yourself against the ground and push hard."
But Chu Yang was running after them.
Little Pear was a little panicked: "A stick? Which stick? Your stick? How am I supposed to hold it up?"
Chu Yang: "..."
"Didn't you have two in your hand?" he said, both amused and exasperated.
"Oh!" Little Pear finally realized.
“Yes, prop it up on the ground and push it back,” Chu Yang said.
Little Pear did as she was told. She was naturally athletic and, being a dance major, had excellent balance, so she quickly found the trick.
"Haha... I got it! I got it! Yay..."
Seeing that she was skating smoothly, Chu Yang encouraged her, "Very good. You practice for a while, and I'll go teach Sister Chunyue."
After saying that, he went back.
Lou Chunyue tried to imitate other people's postures, but she couldn't get the skates moving no matter what she tried.
If you're not careful, you'll end up splitting your legs and landing on the ground.
Just then, Chu Yang arrived and quickly helped her up.
"It's good that you came." Lou Chunyue supported him to stand up and said with relief, "My bones aren't as flexible as Xiaoli's."
“Sister Chunyue still has her soft spots,” Chu Yang said with a smile.
Lou Chunyue said coquettishly, "Get lost! Teach me how to skate. I can't handle skating like Xiaoli; I'll fall."
"Alright, then I'll have to teach you step by step." Chu Yang reached out and put his hand on her waist.
