"Do you have any insights?"
Guo Jia thought for a mont and said, "I own a property in Modu, it's well-located in an ancient-style pedestrian street. The whole building is in classic architecture, with four stories, perfect for a restaurant."
"What do you an by this?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Here's the deal, I want to partner with you. I'll invest this building into your Xi Shan Restaurant. How about that?"
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "This building must be worth quite a bit."
Guo Jia laughed, "Of course, it's worth at least hundreds of millions now."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Alright, but how much equity are you looking for?"
Guo Jia said, "I don't ask for much, just ten percent of the restaurant's equity."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Boss Guo, you sure know how to do business. I truly admire you, you're different from others."
Guo Jia said, "Of course, I'm not greedy at all. I never ask for much but still get the benefits."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's right, you're indeed impressive. You've seen how booming the business at Xi Shan Restaurant is, and the prices we've set. Plenty of people spend ten thousand yuan on a single al.
In Modu, prices could be even higher. Even with only ten percent equity, you'd recoup your investnt in a few years."
Guo Jia chuckled, "Exactly, but my property's value is also continuously rising, so our partnership is a win-win."
Ling Zhenfei extended his hand towards Guo Jia, and they shook hands, "Pleasure to work together."
"Pleasure to work together."
Both of them laughed together. Having sealed a multi-billion-dollar deal in a short ti, the thought itself was exhilarating.
"So, what are the specifics of our plan?" Guo Jia asked.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I should make a trip to Modu, first to see the specifics, because all we've said now is just empty talk."
Guo Jia nodded, "Sure, I'm flying back to Modu this afternoon. When will you be there?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "Here's my plan: besides being a small business owner, I'm also a doctor. I plan to travel during winter, starting from the Provincial City, staying a few days at each place.
I'll soon be in Modu, perhaps even before reaching other areas. If I do, I'll contact you in advance."
Guo Jia was delighted, "Great, then see you in Modu."
"See you in Modu."
Guo Jia stood up and left, clearly happy with the successful business deal.
What Guo Jia had said earlier was true; he indeed planned a winter journey to travel with He Lingxiu, to gain knowledge and grow quickly, ready to take the lead.
While thinking about all this, soone unexpectedly approached Ling Zhenfei.
"Hello, Mr. Ling, do you have a mont to talk?"
Ling Zhenfei looked at the man, recognizing him vaguely, but couldn't recall who he was.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
The person smiled, "Hello, Mr. Ling. My na is Ma Long, just a small investor."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised to see Ma Long because he couldn't initially rember but now recognized the na as the son of Ma Dong, a prominent businessman.
Ma Dong was impressive, ranking first in the China Region on the Forbes list multiple tis.
His son, Ma Long, wasn't a playboy but a capable individual with significant achievents in investnt, making him quite formidable.
"What do you need from ?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
Ma Long sighed, "Soone once told that a small manor called Xishan Manor in Binyang has great investnt potential, but it needs a substantial initial investnt.
Back then, many in the Council said agricultural investnts have low returns and it's better to invest in real estate. Though I enjoy investing in unconventional things, I didn't consider it much due to the Council."
"Then I went abroad. When I returned, the person who told about Xishan Manor ca back, saying it's doing well but needs significant funds for expansion."
"I found it strange why this person kept ntioning Xishan Manor, which piqued my interest. I asked him to discuss it with you, but by then you no longer needed investnt."
Ling Zhenfei was confused, not recalling anyone discussing investnt with him.
"Is this person genuine? I can't rember anyone ntioning investnt to ."
Ma Long smiled, "If I ntion the na, you'll definitely recognize him. His na is Zhang Kang."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised to learn Zhang Kang was Ma Long's associate. He only knew Zhang Kang was from an investnt company but didn't know he worked for Ma Long.
Ma Long had indeed ntioned, initially Zhang Kang, Li Ru, and Chu He approached him about this good investnt but didn't manage to secure funds.
Back then, Zhang Kang, Li Ru, and Chu He invested on their own, helping Ling Zhenfei during tough tis, enabling the successful growth of Xishan Manor.
Then, by auctioning elixir, they acquired additional funds, overcoming hurdles. Chu He, Zhang Kang, and Li Ru re-approached Xishan Manor, discussing further investnt.
But by then, Ling Zhenfei no longer needed external funds. Given Xishan Manor's current developnt scale, their initial investnt of tens of millions would likely be recouped within years, leading to substantial profits in the future.
This made Zhang Kang, Chu He, and Li Ru's investnts extrely successful, potentially resulting in massive gains, turning them into wealthy individuals.
Ma Long nodded, "Indeed, Zhang Kang is a remarkable investor. Though twice rejected, his unique vision impressed .
Recently, he approached again, saying you didn't trust him before, but asked not to miss this opportunity. I asked him about the new opportunity.
Zhang Kang ntioned two opportunities: the regional agency for Xishan Manor's vegetables and the franchise rights for Xi Shan Restaurant. Either of these would make an excellent investnt."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Seems my buddy Zhang Kang has sharp insights, recognizing these opportunities precisely."
Ma Long said, "I guess soone already beat to it. The person you just spoke with is the president of Modu Catering Association. He's capable and likely approached you about these two opportunities."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Yes, Ma Long, you guessed correctly. Guo Jia approached about these two opportunities, and he's almost persuaded to make him the regional agent for Modu."
