“I don’t know yet, but I’m guessing I won’t be able to participate. At his value, the smallest project will cost hundreds of millions.”
“Old Sun, your brother is my brother. Why don’t I arrange this meal today? What do you think?”
“Huh? You’ll arrange it? You don’t even know my boss. What’s the point of that?”
“Our company’s development prospects are quite good now, but if we want to expand, we have to raise funds. Can we take this opportunity to hook up with your boss and get him to invest some money?”
“Stop, stop, stop. Don’t talk about this.” Sun Jian said.
“If we really do that, wouldn’t it be equivalent to asking my boss for money?”
“You can’t say that. These are two separate matters.” Li Qingyuan said.
“When the time comes, I’ll pass him a proposal. If he thinks it’s okay, he’ll invest. If it’s not, forget it. You’ll just act as a matchmaker. The rest will be handled professionally.”
Sun Jian thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
Although the company was not big, its development prospects were indeed good. If Boss invested, it might really be profitable for him.
“I can pull strings, but 1 won’t put in a good word for us.”
“Don’t worry about that. We’ll use our strength to speak. We won’t do anything sneaky,” Li Qingyuan patted his chest and promised.
“Let’s settle this first, but don’t join this initial meal. If you do it’ll just seem like you want his money.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll listen to Brother Jian.”
Ring ring ring!
Just as the three of them were talking, Sun Jian’s phone rang.
“Boss, are you here yet?”
“I’m at your office. Come down quickly.”
“Alright, 1’11 go down now.”
Sun Jian put out the cigarette in his hand and said to Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming,
“I’ll talk to you guys later. I won’t be coming back in the afternoon.”
“Wait for us. Let’s go down and see this big shot in all his glory.”
“F*ck, you guys are practically lackeys.”
The three of them went downstairs together and saw Lin Yi’s car at the entrance of the company.
Otherwise, why would he come here to help the poor instead of being a business magnate?
Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming had the same thought.
If his business is doing well, with his wealth, he wouldn’t be driving a car worth just over a million yuan. Moreover, he didn’t even have a driver. That was too frugal.
“Boss, you’re the best. After doing business, you even came to help the poor. I’ll never submit to anyone in my life. I’ll only submit to you.”
“I’m just messing around. I have nothing else to do. You’re not bad yourself. You’re already a partner of the company. Do you need an investment? I’ll invest some for you.”
“That’s so embarrassing. It’s as if I’m asking you for money.” Sun Jian said embarrassedly.
“However, our company’s development prospects are indeed quite good. When the time comes, I’ll get the two of them to write a proposal. Take a look and invest if you think it’s suitable.”
“Old Sun, forget it.” Li Qingyuan said.
“We’re not outsiders. We’ll just find someone else to invest in us.”
“Huh? That’s not what the two of you said just now. You even said that you wanted me to be the middleman. Why are you changing your mind now?”
“The situation has changed. If your boss is still the same as before, I definitely wouldn’t be so polite. However, now that his identity has changed, there’s no need for him to take risks with me. It won’t be good if he loses again.”
Sun Jian,”???”
“What do you mean?”
Li Qingyuan pulled Sun Jian aside and whispered,
“Why are you so slow? Can’t you tell what’s going on with your boss?”
“Isn’t the situation quite good? What’s wrong?”
“From what you said just now, if your boss really lives in a villa worth more than a billion yuan and has a dock, why would he drive a car worth only a million yuan? Moreover, he doesn’t even have a driver. Don’t you think it’s a little shabby?” Li Qingyuan said.
“That’s right. Besides, you just said that your boss has luxury cars like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, but he didn’t drive them this time. Perhaps there’s a problem with the company’s operations and he sold the car to pay off his debt. If we ask him for money and investments now, it won’t be right.” Liu Guangming said.
“Moreover, look at him now. He’s already left to be the director of the poverty alleviation office. This means that he wants stability and doesn’t want to take risks. If the company doesn’t develop in the future, won’t his money be wasted? You guys are so close. I’m too embarrassed to take an investment from him.”
Sun Jian did not say anything. He felt that what the two of them said made sense.
Although a car worth more than a million yuan was not cheap, it was indeed not compatible with Boss’ supposed net worth. Perhaps there really was a problem with his business.
In that case, he really couldn’t let Boss invest so freely.
“You guys are right.”
After replying, Sun Jian returned to Lin Yi. “Boss, there’s no need to invest.
Let’s go eat first. That new barbeque shop is especially delicious.”
“Uh, are you sure you don’t need it? Logically speaking, with your company’s
current scale, it’s the time to external investors to come in..”
