Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 758 Peacock Spreads Its Tail

As Han Dongming clapped, the others gradually came to understand the meaning behind Luo Yang's words.

The national government will take the lead and organize the construction of industrial parks in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Whichever large domestic enterprise is needed to participate, that enterprise must participate.

If Guotai Industrial Real Estate can get involved, even if it's just doing the simplest basic infrastructure construction, it will still build relationships with several large central and state-owned enterprises in the process.

Isn't this more direct and convenient than going door-to-door to build relationships?
Moreover, once Cathay Industrial Properties boards the big ship of foreign aid construction, it will at least be on the radar of the higher-ups.

At that time, whether or not we made money was secondary.

That's why Fu Bin's lips trembled with excitement.
He subconsciously looked at Han Dongming: "Mr. Han, do you have any connections in this area?"

If Han Dongming could help Guotai make the connection, he was willing to pay a high price.

"I don't even know which department is in charge of this matter, so I don't know where to start if I want to help."

Even if it's just a simple matchmaking, Han Dongming would have to pay a considerable debt of gratitude, so how could he easily agree to it?

Now, he absolutely won't act until he sees a clear benefit.

“I know that if President Han wants to help with this, he will definitely have to pay a high price. I, Lao Fu, am a man of principle and I will not let President Han work for nothing.”

Fu Bin was also decisive and immediately offered his terms: "Whether President Han wants to take a cut from specific projects or wants to participate in specific projects, we can discuss it."

In short, the choice is yours: money or projects.

To this day, he has not used Cathay's shares as a condition.

"President Fu, people like us live off resources, and to be honest, we're not short of money."

Han Dongming said with a smile, "For example, if I want to invest in a bike-sharing project as an angel investor, I hope that every penny I earn can be put on the table and stand up to scrutiny."

Here's the key point: It must be presentable and able to withstand scrutiny.

Taking money directly from Fu Bin is definitely not an option.

If you switch to making money through projects, how is that different from the previous method?
Therefore, the only viable option left is to acquire shares in Cathay Industrial Properties and earn substantial returns as an investor.

Although Fu Bin had just laid out his conditions, none of them were what Han Dongming wanted.

This left Han Dongming with no choice but to offer some pointers.

If Fu Bin remains defiant and unwilling to part with a small portion of Guotai Industrial Real Estate's shares, the negotiations may very well fall through.

"It turns out that President Han also saw the potential of industrial real estate and wanted to cooperate with us on this."

Since things had already escalated to a point where Fu Bin needed to offer something of genuine sincerity, he had to do so.

“I can agree to President Han’s request in front of President Luo.”

Fu Bin finally presented a condition that others were interested in: "Guotai Real Estate can accept a round of capital injection, of course, the proportion cannot exceed 15%."

Even at this point, he remained cautious.

Even though someone else took away 15% of the shares, Fu Bin was still able to firmly control the company's operations with his absolute controlling stake.

Moreover, he did not mention giving up the equity.

If Luo Yang understands correctly, what Fu Bin just mentioned was accepting investment, not directly selling or transferring equity.

There is a significant difference between the two.

Capital injection means that the company's original equity structure will change, especially for shareholders. If they do not increase their capital, their original equity will be diluted.

There is no such problem with directly transferring equity.
This can be seen.

Fu Bin is also a cunning old fox.

"Mr. Fu, shall we find some time to talk about this later?"

Han Dongming knew that negotiations on this matter would take a considerable amount of time and could not be concluded in a short period of time.

Having received a verbal promise from Fu Bin, he ended the conversation.

"clap clap"

Since both sides have a strong desire to cooperate and have resources that they need, the cooperation will surely be successful.

Luo Yang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Let's drink tea instead of wine to wish you a successful cooperation."

"I think the person we should thank the most is General Manager Luo."

Han Dongming looked at Luo Yang and said, "Just because of a casual chat, because of a piece of information that wasn't exactly news, you analyzed China Fortune Land Development's future development strategy and then provided an even better implementation suggestion."

“Yes, yes, we should thank Brother Luo the most.” Fu Bin responded to Han Dongming’s words, raised his teacup and gestured to Luo Yang, “I won’t say much more about thanks. The Jiangnan Club will be an affiliated club of our Santai Real Estate and Guotai Industrial Real Estate. All important receptions in Shanghai must be held here.”

Given Luo Yang's current wealth, Fu Bin wouldn't do something like directly giving him money.

I had no choice but to express all my gratitude to Jiangnan Club.

Manager Zhu Jialiang and Deputy Manager Shen Jinglan were overjoyed. They took the opportunity to hand out business cards to everyone present and collect their contact information.

These people are the best customer resources and the club's first batch of VIP members.

Everyone was very busy and couldn't possibly stay in the club all afternoon and evening. Around four o'clock, people started to say goodbye to Luo Yang and leave.

For example, Fu Bin and Han Dongming walked together.

Chen Liyang and Dong Xuan also left early because they had other dinner engagements that evening.

Cao Shuyu didn't leave until after dinner, and chatted with Luo Yang about shared bicycles for a while during the meal.

In the end, only He Maosong, Liu Haishan, and Cai Fujun remained.

This time, Liu Haishan didn't ask to go to a nightclub to sing. After eight o'clock, a number of "socialites" began to "float" into the Jiangnan Club. They were all as beautiful as the beauties in top-tier nightclubs, and they were all quite eloquent, clearly of high quality.

The appearance of these people is related to Luo Yang, Zhu Jialiang, and Shen Jinglan.

For a period of time, Shen Jinglan often stayed at Jiang Wen's house and had many conversations with Luo Yang. During one casual chat, Luo Yang happened to mention the phenomenon of "socialites," and at that time, Shen Jinglan was at a loss as to how to attract members to the club.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Shen Jinglan devised a plan to attract high-end businessmen in Shanghai by using "socialites" as a guise, and discussed it with her manager, Zhu Jialiang. After repeated revisions, the plan was finally presented to Luo Yang.

Luo Yang was both amused and exasperated by this.

Keep in mind that 12 years ago, a socialite was still a socialite.

Not only in Shanghai, but also across the whole country, there hasn't been a large-scale, clustered emergence of those "socialites" who later formed groups to take photos.

Zhu Jialiang and Shen Jinglan had actually created such a group ahead of time, which really opened Luo Yang's eyes.

The key point is that these "socialites" are not the "gold diggers" of later times. The vast majority of them are career women with regular jobs during the day. They have some common characteristics: they are single, highly educated, fair-skinned and beautiful, and have a clear goal of transcending social classes.

Jiangnan Club is essentially a platform, a platform that can bring together high-quality men in Shanghai.

Although the soft opening is only tomorrow, the fact that socialites were able to come and be allowed in tonight shows that Chu Chia-liang has definitely put a lot of thought into it.
"Brother Luo, actually, the way you've done it is a bit messy."

When the voices of those "socialites" echoed in the cigar bar where they were having their gathering, He Maosong couldn't help but say to Luo Yang, "Your conversation with that Mr. Han from the capital this afternoon revealed that you envision the club as high-end, business-oriented, with added elements like themed cocktail parties and salon lectures. That's already a very good idea. But adding these 'socialites' now seems a bit..."

"Old He, that's not right of you."

There was a high-class "socialite" sitting on the sofa next to Liu Haishan, so he immediately objected: "Miss Gao is also a career elite, a mid-to-senior level manager in the company, and she is very interested in special cocktail parties and salon lectures. Now that Brother Luo is providing a place for them to learn and grow, what's wrong with that?"

As he said this, he glanced at the beautiful woman beside him and raised his glass in a gesture of respect.

"Hahaha"

Cai Fujun, always a peacemaker, said to the two of them in a joking tone after hearing Liu Haishan's remarks: "Men are more likely to be aggressive in front of beautiful women and like to show their best side. So the clash of your ideas might spark a salon lecture on how to run a business club."

"Pfft!"

His words drew laughter from several "socialites" in the cigar bar.

They all raised their glasses, gesturing to Cai Fujun in a toast.

"Actually, I would like to have working women come here to hold some salons and lectures."

Seeing He Maosong's slightly embarrassed expression, Luo Yang tried to divert everyone's attention, saying, "There's a joke in the marketing world that, in terms of spending power, women > children > the elderly > dogs > men. Regardless of where this judgment comes from, I can say for sure that women's consumer market accounts for a considerable proportion. Therefore, looking at product positioning from a female perspective might be more accurate."

After Luo Yang finished speaking, the few "socialites" who were originally not very talkative started to discuss among themselves.

Listening to their discussion, they actually have some insightful points.

Zhu Jialiang was very thoughtful; the women he selected tonight were all true career women elites, not just pretty faces.

As a result, the topics of discussion in cigar bars are no longer about romance and nature.

These "socialites" can also join male-dominated discussions and offer different perspectives from time to time, offering their own unique insights.

Cai Fujun's words began to come true.

Men's aggressiveness in the presence of beautiful women begins to emerge unconsciously.

The phenomenon of peacocks displaying their tail feathers has also begun to appear from time to time.

Especially Liu Haishan.
