Pei Heran and Feng Rui were the first to know. Pei Heran could provide some money, but Feng Rui couldn’t invest that much because his family was in government service, not business.
Pei Heran wasn’t enough by himself, so they thought of Dai Zhenjie.
Ling Tianqi studied at a university in City Hai with Dai Zhenjie. They both studied in the construction industry. When Ling Tianqi mentioned it, Dai Zhenjie was naturally interested too.
However, even with Dai Zhenjie joining, it was still not enough, so Ling Tianqi went to see An Chenjun and Leng Yecheng.
They were both willing to invest.
This wasn’t a small investment, it was an investment worth tens of billions.
They didn’t need to come up with tens of billions directly. They could borrow money or something similar, but in the early stages, they needed to pay a billion yuan by themselves.
Just the land alone cost several hundred million yuan.
Leng Yecheng could only provide a hundred million yuan, which he earned from his last stock investment.
After Leng Xiaoyao learned about it, she was willing to lend Leng Yecheng two hundred million yuan. Otherwise, if they each provided several hundred million yuan, Leng Yecheng’s contribution would be too small.
Therefore, Leng Xiaoyao stood up and whispered to Leng Yecheng by his side, “Uncle, this is a project worth over ten billion yuan. A hundred million yuan is too little. I’ll lend you two hundred million yuan.”
“No need, keep it for yourself.” Leng Yecheng immediately refused. As an elder, how could he use money from his niece? Even if it was a loan, it wasn’t acceptable.
“It’s just a loan, not a gift. When you make money, just return it to me with interest. I’m just a student. What do I need so much money for?” Leng Xiaoyao said.
Leng Yecheng was persuaded, but still refused. “I can’t do that.”
“You can share the money you make with me at that time.” Leng Xiaoyao didn’t give up.
Leng Yecheng remained silent.
“If you don’t agree, I won’t talk to you anymore. When I go home to see grandpa, I’ll do it while you’re absent.” Leng Xiaoyao immediately put on an angry expression.
“You…” Leng Yecheng didn’t know what to say. He knew that Leng Xiaoyao did this on purpose, but she won.
“Fine, I’ll take it, but we have to be clear that this two hundred million yuan will be invested under my name, but you need to take your share of the profits from it.” Leng Yecheng set a condition that couldn’t be refused.
Two hundred million yuan was such a large sum of money, yet Leng Xiaoyao lent it to him without hesitation. However, she wouldn’t receive much interest in return.
Therefore, Leng Yecheng wouldn’t take advantage of her.
If they shared the profit, they could earn a lot more.
“I’m just investing without putting in any effort! So, if I put in two hundred million and you put in one hundred million yuan, that’ll be three hundred million yuan. We can share the profit evenly. That’s it,”‘ Leng Xiaoyao said. She knew that Leng Yecheng wasn’t a selfish person who only cared about his own interests, so it was impossible for him to take all the money. This was the most compromising solution.
Seeing that Leng Xiaoyao was determined, Leng Yecheng had to agree. He was very grateful for her help and cherished her kindness.
After it was done, Leng Yecheng said to others, “I can offer three hundred million yuan.”
Everyone was surprised that Leng Yecheng could contribute that much.
Nevertheless, it was good news because there were too many loans and the interest was too high. It would be a good thing if they could have more money to start with.
Although Leng Xiaoyao only had two hundred million yuan, she could still contribute more because she had a lot of raw jade materials in her basement.
However, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t do that.
Leng Yecheng had this chance because of them. If he surpassed them, it wouldn’t be pleasant. After all, Ling Tianqi and Dai Zhenjie were the ones in charge. Leng Yucheng’s role was at most to provide funding and design.
There was a ready-made design company, so they wouldn’t look for another design company.
Although Fengshang Design wasn’t a big company, it wasn’t small either and had some fame in the industry. At least Ling Tianqi and the others agreed, and insisted on letting Fengshang Design do it.
After all, it was their own investment project, so they would definitely be more attentive than others.
At present, the project was only in the preliminary discussion stage. The decision would only be made after detailed consideration. Everyone agreed to invest, so the next step was to decide how much each person should contribute.
After they had enough money, the contract could be signed, the land could be purchased, and the design could be done.
They only dispersed after having a good dinner.
Leng Xiaoyao and Leng Yecheng went home together, Xiong Manxin and Ling Tianqi went back together, and An Chenmeng went back with An Chenjun.
“Miss Leng, can I invite you for an afternoon tea tomorrow?” Dai Ya asked when leaving.
“Of course, we can have lunch directly, then I can show you around,” Leng Xiaoyao said. Since Dai Ya came to City Chang, she was naturally very happy to be the host and show her around.
“Great, I am staying in the downtown Kirin Hotel,” Dai Ya said.
“I’ll go pick you up tomorrow,” said Leng Xiaoyao, then the two separated.
“When did you learn to drive? Wait a second, do you have a driver’s license?” Leng Yecheng asked. He suddenly remembered that Leng Xiaoyao already knew how to race, so driving was nothing.
However, when he thought of car racing, he couldn’t help feeling scared.
“Just got my driver’s license,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
In response, Leng Yecheng let out a sigh.
“Uncle, you’re not thirty years old yet. Why do you sigh so often? You sound like you are seventy years old.” Leng Xiaoyao joked.
“How can you make fun of me? You’re so disrespectful.” Leng Yecheng criticized her, but his expression was indulgent.
“Now that you have a driver’s license and you’re going to study in the Capital University, I’ll give you a car as a reward. Tell me what kind of car you want,” Leng Yecheng said.
“I like off-road vehicles, so a Land Rover will be great! I want a black one. It looks cool.” Leng Xiaoyao said, “But I want to buy it after going to the capital city. Otherwise, it’ll be quite inconvenient to drive from here to there.”
“No problem, but it’s best to go through the license plate lottery first. It’s not easy to get a license plate in the capital city. You won’t be able to drive for long without one after the 15-day grace period for new cars,” Leng Yecheng said.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already got a license plate,” Leng Xiaoyao said. When she got her driver’s license, Li Mochen took her to get a license plate. Because of his connections, it was smooth sailing.
It was impossible to do it at this moment, but Leng Xiaoyao didn’t care.
Leng Yecheng was surprised, but he didn’t ask too much. He knew his niece was very capable. She couldn’t be judged by the same standards as her peers.
