Chapter 485: Splitting Money for a Meal
The three-million-dollar check was pushed back in front of him, and Qin Hai didn't seem surprised by it.
In his eyes, this woman was definitely tempted by the money; pushing it back was just for show.
If his opponent were a man, Qin Hai would use allure, fine wine, and US dollars. But to deal with a woman, a single check would suffice.
"Hey, Miss Leng, don't be so reserved. If we succeed in this project, we'll be like family. Family members exchanging gifts, there's nothing wrong with that."
As he spoke, Qin Hai took the gift box and slowly approached Leng Yue, gently placing it in her hand. As he bent down and handed over the gift, he lightly touched her soft hand.
Leng Yue immediately withdrew her hand and stood up to avoid it, placing the gift box lightly on the table.
"Since Mr. Qin is so enthusiastic, I'll keep the gift here for now. However, I don't deserve this check without meritorious service..."
"I just want to successfully negotiate this deal with your esteemed company, nothing else." Even though he didn't succeed in getting close to Leng Yue, Qin Hai didn't feel even a bit displeased. The priority was to secure the deal. As for this woman, while she was beautiful, to win her over would still require a considerable amount of money. Too expensive.
"Since Mr. Qin is so sincere, I won't hide anything from you." As Leng Yue spoke, she took out a tablet from her bag, opened some documents, and placed them on the table.
Qin Hai immediately stepped over; he knew these documents were worth three million.
"A certain company previously gave me a gift worth 1.2 million, and I only revealed the low price to them," Leng Yue said with a slight smile, "But Mr. Qin's sincerity is so high, so you must be a very worthy partner."
"Low price? How low?" Qin Hai, though a businessman, didn't really understand the documents thoroughly by the looks of it.
"Our company's boss explained that the bid from participating companies cannot be less than six hundred million. So, if Mr. Qin offers only three hundred million, I'm afraid we really can't help."
"Six hundred million?"
"Yes, six hundred million. The details are clearly recorded above. We've also done preliminary planning for this real estate development, plans which you've seen before. Unlike in XG, materials and labor are much cheaper inland. This way, in three years, once the property is finished, you'll have twenty billion, principal plus interest, coming in. Of course, that's just the preliminary plan. But if the cooperation partner — perhaps Mr. Qin, for example — has a better proposal, we can renegotiate later, although that would be possible only after the partnership is successful."
"Twenty billion? So, your company?" Qin Hai asked with slight surprise.
"Oh, come on, you didn't do any research on our company before talking about cooperation? Aren't you afraid of encountering scammers?" Leng Yue rolled her eyes, took the tablet, swiped a few more times, and more data appeared: "These are all our company's assets. We currently have access to only five hundred million. If this piece of the pie weren't too big for us to handle, how could we be sharing such a good opportunity with others? Rest assured, if you over-invest by that point, we'll specify in the contract to distribute profits according to the joint venture ratio after earnings — no tricks with the wording."
"Oh, I see, I see." Hearing this, Qin Hai suddenly realized, addressing the doubts in his mind.
"Thank you very much for the hospitality today, Boss Qin, and I really like the gift. If Mr. Qin signs a contract with our company, please make sure to call me when you come to the mainland, so I can properly treat Mr. Qin," Leng Yue said, packing the tablet and the gift box into her backpack, ready to leave.
"Oh, definitely, definitely. I'll go back and think it over carefully. Before the bidding ends, I'll give you a satisfactory answer." Qin Hai also started contemplating this big business, seeming somewhat out of sorts.
"Oh, by the way, let me give you a free piece of information: the company that previously gave me a 1.2 million gift has a bid price of 650 million. I'm leaving now."
Leaving these words, Leng Yue walked out the door. She went all the way to the elevator, came downstairs, asked Wang Ziyang to drive, and only after getting into the car did she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Oh my gosh, this is much harder than killing someone. Captain, please, don't ever make me do this again," Leng Yue said apprehensively, adjusting the hidden earpiece under her hair.
"What's there to be afraid of? This makes much more than killing — three million in one go, hehe..." Xiaofan's voice laughed softly through the earpiece.
"Ziyang, drive, let's go back, I don't want to stay here a second longer."
"Sister Leng Yue, the captain said you're buying late-night snacks tonight..."
"Huh? Why? For what reason?" Leng Yue asked, puzzled, then turned the earpiece on again, only to get no response.
At six thirty in the evening, inside another luxurious restaurant box.
Xiaofan and everyone in the team gathered there for a feast. Leng Yue, who was told to treat, was the last to arrive with Wang Ziyang.
"So, is the check real?"
"It's real, already transferred to your account." Leng Yue nodded and said, "I've worked hard all this time, and you still want me to treat. What's up with you being the captain? Let me tell you, I'm definitely not treating this time."
"Why transfer to me? Even if you transfer, only a third will suffice. For the extra income from the assignment, whoever earns it only needs to submit a third. The rest, you can keep, so there's two million that is yours. Now tell me, are you going to treat or not?" Xiaofan asked with a loud laugh.
"What? I have two million?" Leng Yue was stunned.
"Of course, this wasn't accomplished by you alone, so it'd be best to give everyone a hundred thousand for their hard work. Otherwise, who would answer calls, drive, or plan so much for you? The idea was mine, taking one million isn't excessive." Xiaofan said again.
"Oh gosh, I think we really chose the right captain. Fine, I'll treat this time, but are you so sure Qin Hai will invest that much to cooperate with us?" Leng Yue asked casually.
"He will. He wants to make big money. Last year, his dividends from Dongwu exceeded eight hundred million, but the shares can't be liquidated. However, he has very sufficient funds. Although he lost a bit, he still certainly has money. Watch, tomorrow we'll receive his seven hundred million bidding price." Xiaofan said with a confident smile, indicating that the mission was almost completed.
