1928: The rise of giant merchants

Ye Luo played until lunch time, but couldn't stand the smell of their heavy cigarettes, so he made an excuse and left the Kadoorie family villa area with Shi Jianqiao in his arms.

As soon as he left, Rie Koizumi, who had been sitting upright just now, immediately moved into Lorenz's arms and asked sweetly: "How is it, Lorenz, I behaved well?"

"Well, great! Your acting skills are as good as your bed skills!" Lawrence put his hand into her kimono and played with it, blew out a smoke ring and laughed, "He has already taken the bait, but this little money is far away. not enough."

"You still want to continue to raise the price? That's 3 million yuan!" Rie Koizumi covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Lawrence asked the maid to hand over the phone and immediately dialed Lu Yusheng.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Hello, Mr. Kadoorie!"

"Hello, Lu. I have some sad news to tell you."

"Please tell me." Lu Yusheng's heart tightened on the other end of the phone.

The first thing he thought of was the Majestic Hotel.

Did someone get there first?

"Just now, Mr. Ye Luo from Ye's Investment Company found me and said that he was interested in purchasing the Majestic Hotel under my name. You know, Lu, many people in Shanghai's upper class now know that I will be away from home. When I went to Xiangjiang, they were all very interested in my industries."

"."

Little red guy! The action is so fast!

After the birthday party on September 6, Lu Yusheng took the initiative to communicate with Edward. He had been trying to dispel his wariness and anxiety, and guided him to join hands with him to take over the Majestic Hotel.

However, this ghost guy has average business ability and is not willing to just make money as a major shareholder, so he has to do it himself.

It was difficult for the two of them to actually urinate into the same pot. After several pulls, they could not settle on the specific amount.

The longer time passed, the more anxious Lu Yusheng became.

Because at first he was the only one who knew about it, but as time went on, more and more people knew about it.

He was particularly afraid that Ye Luo would get the news and pay him to rob the Dahua Hotel!

After all, Ye Luo is the first person to enter the dance industry. If he wants to build the first dance hall in the Far East, the Majestic Hotel is the best choice!

Damn it!

Lu Yusheng could only hold the phone and apologize: "Oh, Mr. Kadoorie, you should be very aware of the financial resources of our Yongxing Company. The 2.5 million oceans you mentioned before, I thought about it, and I can win it."

"2.5 million? No, no, no, it's 3.2 million oceans." Rowland squeezed Rie Koizumi in his arms and opened his mouth, "This is the price Ye Luo offered me, which is a full 700,000 yuan more than you!"

3.2 million oceans?

Is this little red guy crazy?

Lu Yusheng's first reaction was to end the call quickly.

The Majestic Hotel opened in 1924. Four years later, the original total construction cost was 1.8 million oceans. Four years later, even with its reputation and stable customer base, the price of 2.5 million yuan is still a bit high.

The construction cost of Licha Hotel is 3.5 million oceans. Its decoration, interior, layout and service staff are all on a higher level than Dahua. Now it dare not directly sell it for 1 million oceans more.

Why does he own the Dahua Hotel?

Lu Yusheng suppressed the urge to hang up the phone and thought.

Ye Luo is not a fool. Is he crazy?

Apparently he's not crazy, he's smart.

2,000 Chevrolet 490s cost him millions of dollars, and he also made millions of dollars.

New World Amusement Park, which took decisive action, will go bankrupt this month after Zhang Wanlin takes over.

The purchase of Dahua Hotel for 3.2 million this time shows that in his eyes, Dahua's potential value far exceeds this figure.

"Of course, Lu, your Yongxing company is the best business partner of our Kadoorie family. The cigarettes you provided me are the best birthday gifts I have ever received. If you also offer this price, I will definitely sell them Not only that, if you are willing to buy Dahua and some other properties, I am also willing to package and sell them to you at a 30% discount."

Rowlands is a good guide.

If Lu Yusheng decisively refuses, then he will sell it to Ye Luo for 3 million yuan.

If he wants to negotiate.

As long as it exceeds 3 million, even if it is less than 3.2 million, we can still talk about it.

"3.2 million. I want to discuss it with my partner." Lu Yusheng hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'll call him right away."

"Well, I can't keep Ye Luo waiting too long, you know." Luo Lanshi felt happy.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yusheng quickly called Edward.

"Mr. Sassoon, bad news. Ye Luo has already taken action against Dahua."

"What?!"

"The worse news is that he offered 3.2 million oceans."

"3.2 million Dayang! Is he crazy?! No, no, he is not crazy, so he is very optimistic about Dahua, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Fan Shiwei's palms were sweating as he translated.

Such a secret in the business world, thanks to the relationship between his daughter Fan Juli and Fan Erdi, she was about to become the consular wife of the Consul General of the French Concession. Otherwise, Lu Yusheng would not have turned around and killed someone to silence her?

Lu Yusheng: "Yes, and I am very optimistic about it."

"Then what should we do? Damn it, I should have agreed to buy Dahua with you earlier." Edward was still drunk and dreaming, but now he is sober.

He was arguing with Lu Yusheng just to take advantage of him.

At the birthday party that day, after Lu Yusheng's lobbying, he had already been moved.

Unexpectedly, this time, I missed a big deal by taking advantage of small things!

"And there's good news."

"Say it quickly!"

Fan Shiwei's palms began to sweat again.

Is it possible that the second young master still can’t get 3.2 million oceans?

Didn’t you say 2.5 million?

"Mr. Kadoorie said that if we offer 3.2 million, he will give us priority."

"3.2 million. Do you think it's worth it?"

"Mr. Edward, I don't know best whether it's worth it. But I know that even if you make a small loss, it's better than falling into the hands of the Ye family! Whether it's for Yongxing or the Sassoon family." Lu Yusheng said firmly. .

Kadoorie family villa.

The phone soon rang.

Laurence was entering Rie Koizumi and quickly picked up the receiver: "I am Laurence Kadoorie."

"Mr. Kadoorie, I am Lu Yusheng. I am willing to pay 3.2 million oceans. Please give me priority in transferring the Dahua Hotel to me!"

"Really? 3.2 million oceans?"

"That's right!"

"Okay, then it's a deal!"

"Thank you, Mr. Kadoorie!"

Putting down the receiver, Lu Yusheng patted Fan Shiwei on the shoulder: "Translator Fan, if Consul Verdi also wants to buy shares, I can transfer some quota to him. Please tell me."

"Okay, I'll call Juli right away!" Fan Shiwei pretended to be surprised, took the phone, and immediately called the French Consulate, "I'm looking for Miss Fan Juli."

After a while, my daughter's familiar voice came.

"Ju Li, we have decided to purchase Dahua Hotel for 3.2 million yuan. Please ask Mr. Verdi if he wants to invest in it?"

Lu Yusheng looked at him with a smile.

Fan Erdi has always rejected Yongxing Company's good intentions before, but this business is so profitable that he will definitely accept it.

In this way, the conflict between the consulate and Yongxing Company can also be repaired.

He is also considering whether to attract people from the public board of directors to buy shares. Other tycoons with whom he has good friends, Manchu elders, and old-school businessmen cannot be missed.

After all, that damn ghost guy said he claimed 1.8 million oceans, but in fact he only claimed 500,000 oceans!

He still has 1.3 million yuan, but he wants to blatantly take Lu Yusheng’s money!

Then he also needs to attract more shareholders to cooperate, let them get on the same boat, make money together, and at the same time contain this ghost guy with a huge appetite.

When Fan Juli heard her father's words, she didn't ask Fan Erdi at all.

She knew that her husband had inherited Mr. Mérieux's will and wanted to fight Yongxing Company to the end.

And my father was doing all this for the second young master.

She randomly found a reason to hang up the phone and called Ye Gongguan.

The person who answered the phone was Xiao Aqiao. They were very familiar with each other. Fan Juli told her everything, telling her to inform the second young master as soon as possible.

On the other side, Ye Luocai returned to the Ye Mansion. The attire of a rich man really surprised the mahjong quartet!

"So handsome, second brother! I want to marry you." Ye Qingqing shouted.

"Ayuan is still here, what did you say that was inappropriate?" Ye Luo scolded her with a smile.

Lin Yuan, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa, turned around and said, "If I were a woman, I would marry you, second brother."

"Get out!" Ye Luo picked up a pear, but his mother snatched it away and started peeling it.

"Second Young Master, you can't eat it with the skin on."

On the other side, Xiao Aqiao waved to him, then bit her ear and said Fan Juli's phone number.

Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang again.

"This is Ye Mansion, who are you looking for?" Ye Luo walked over and answered the phone, "Ah, it's Lawrence? What's wrong?"

"I have a very unfortunate news to tell you, Ye. Yongxing Company offered 3.5 million oceans, you offered 3 million oceans, and he paid a full 500,000 oceans more! I'm sorry, Ye, if it was 3.2 million yuan, I would definitely not agree. he."

Fuck you.

Ye Luo almost believed it.

Lu Yusheng offered 2.5 million. You told me 2.8 million, and then asked me to offer 3 million. After a few phone calls, the price was raised by 500,000.

Now you told Lu Yusheng that I would pay 3.2 million, and asked him to pay 3.2 million. Then you called me and told me 3.5 million. After that, you increased the price by 1 million just by talking, right?

How dare you ask for it.

That is to say, communication and communication were not that popular during the Republic of China, and everyone was even a bit honest and less cunning. In addition, there was a natural gap between Chinese and foreigners. Chinese who were worried about upsetting foreigners generally did not doubt foreigners, nor did they dare to doubt them.

Only then can he operate like this.

Poor information is sometimes more profitable than the business itself.

The clothes from the south will double when you go to the north!

The same was true for the gangsters everywhere in the 1970s and 1980s.

"What if I'm willing to pay 3.8 million yuan." Ye Luo said lightly.

Little Ah Qiao and Ye Qingqing, who could understand English, were stunned at the same time. They ignored the mahjong tiles in their hands and looked at him.

3.8 million oceans? !

"Ye, are you kidding?" Luo Lanshi's heart was pounding. He didn't expect to raise the price to such an extent.

If this business is done, this sum alone will be enough to make his father look at him with admiration.

Therefore, when Ye Luo said this number, he did not doubt it, but thought about how to promote it, or even earn greater profits!

"I'm not kidding. But I have a few conditions."

"you say."

"First, this is my last quotation. No matter how high it is, I will not pay a penny more. Second, you are not allowed to inform Yongxing Company of my quotation to raise the price. We will use this price." is the final transaction price. Third, while the several industries I want are packaged for me at a 30% discount, all workers, equipment, technology, etc. must be kept as well."

"No problem, this is nothing." Luo Lanshi thought to himself that Dahua has made so much money for you, and it doesn't matter how you send those who can't take them to Xiangjiang.

"Then let's make a deal. I'll pay 3.8 million yuan."

"Okay, deal done!"

Rolandz was ecstatic. After the launch, he collapsed on the ground. He resisted the urge to call immediately and waited until it was getting late. After 10 o'clock in the evening, he called Lu Yusheng again.

"Lu, I'm sorry. I have to tell you a sad news. Ye Luo offered 4 million oceans."
