Chapter 158 [Lumberjack Chen Yan] (7800)
Assistant Liu smiled politely, without the slightest hint of arrogance typical of someone from a large company, presenting himself with great poise.
Fang Dahai’s chubby face was still full of smiles: "President Liu, you’re too modest! Please sit down! Please sit down!"
After warmly inviting Assistant Liu to sit, he engaged in small talk—using Boss Fang’s cunning to subtly extract any useful information he could, trying to understand the purpose of their visit.
However, Assistant Liu had no intention of letting him guess, and after merely a few sips of tea, he straightforwardly stated his purpose.
"It’s like this, our Chairman He is interested in one of the assets under your name, Boss Fang, so I’ve been sent to inquire if you are willing to sell it. If you are, the price is negotiable!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Fang was momentarily stunned, then his face showed a hint of delight!
Whoa!
Is this... an acquisition?
Being acquired by big capital! Am I about to strike it rich!!
Boss Fang beamed with joy, quickly calculating in his mind, his own businesses: a trading company, a transportation company, and a factory.
Whichever one he sells, being acquired by such big capital is an excellent opportunity!
He then coughed and slowly said, "I wonder which aspect of my humble business your company is interested in? Actually, a complete acquisition may not be necessary; if there’s ample room for cooperation, I’m open to financing, and we can engage in deep cooperation in the future..."
Assistant Liu smiled, courteously saying: "President Fang, you may have misunderstood, I’m terribly sorry, my previous explanation was not clear enough, apologies.
It’s like this, we are interested in a real estate property under your name."
Saying this, Assistant Liu took out a piece of residential information from his bag: "We found that this residence is currently under your name, correct?"
Boss Fang was stunned, but after taking a glance at the document, his heart skipped a beat!
This is the haunted villa rented by Teacher Xiao Chen!
After pondering for a moment, Boss Fang slowly said: "Is it this villa? Hmm... at the moment, I have no intention to sell or transfer this property..."
"It’s like this, President Fang," Assistant Liu calmly and with a smile continued: "Our Chairman He truly likes this house, so before I came, he especially entrusted me with two tasks.
First, if President Fang is willing to part with it, Chairman He is prepared to offer a price that fully demonstrates sincerity.
Second, we have also generally understood the areas of your business, President Fang, and Chairman He is interested in exploring deeper cooperation in trade and logistics with you."
Boss Fang said nothing!
·
Thinking from Boss Fang’s perspective, he naturally did not want to sell the house.
This house is the biggest connection between himself and the almighty Teacher Xiao Chen!
But... this is an opportunity to connect with top wealthy investors in the country!
What truly moved Boss Fang wasn’t the "price that fully demonstrates sincerity."
It’s just a villa, even if sold at a high price, how much higher can it go? If it exceeds the normal price by ten million, that’s the max.
Fang Dahai may not be a top tycoon, but he’s quite wealthy—does he need ten million to get by?
However... if he could engage in "deep cooperation" with that top tycoon Chairman He in business...
It would mean entering their business system!
Even as a long-term outsourcing partner, the money would continually flow in!
Money is just one aspect.
More importantly, it establishes a connection!
Not to mention, if his company could carry the title of "cooperating partner of Chairman He," then in future business dealings, this association could attract more opportunities elsewhere!
Fang Dahai took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming calm, revealing no emotion on his face, though his heart was already torn and struggling.
"...President Liu, this matter is rather sudden for me, I need to seriously consider it."
"Of course, that’s only appropriate," Assistant Liu immediately replied with a smile, then slowly took out a piece of paper and wrote a number on it: "This is our offer for the house, you can discuss it."
He then stood up, smiling: "I’ll await your response."
Assistant Liu declined President Fang’s dinner invitation and took his leave directly.
After seeing off Assistant Liu, Boss Fang picked up the piece of paper and glanced at the number on it.
Thirty million.
This price was slightly higher than he had anticipated.
Though the villa is a luxury property, this year’s real estate market was sluggish, with prices continuously falling.
A similar house would be valued at around fifteen million in the current market.
Thirty million—double the amount.
And his house was actually a haunted house, which normally would fetch an even lower price! Thirty million wasn’t just double; it was several times more!
But...
Boss Fang contemplated.
Why would a top domestic tycoon suddenly take an interest in his house? Sending someone specifically to Jinling Prefecture, naming this house in particular?
Fang Dahai isn’t foolish.
When house prices are plummeting, it’s unusual to sell or buy property at this time.
Especially a haunted house!
Especially paying double the price!
This house... it doesn’t deserve that!
The only possibility is...
They must be after Teacher Xiao Chen!
