As the mbers of the Ni Family left with an air of arrogance, the tea house gradually quieted down.
After all, if life is like a drama, the cara only follows the main characters.
Today's main characters were undoubtedly the Ni Family.
"Bang!"
Han Chen, enraged, smashed the teacup in his hand, swearing, "This is outrageous!"
Neither he, nor Song Lu, nor Yang Xin'Er, all of whom were major figures in the underworld of Jiangzhou City, had ever suffered such humiliation before.
The Ni Family behaved as if they had them all figured out, saying such things in front of governnt officials!
Such people deserve to die!
Song Lu remained calm, "The strength of the Ni Family is still too formidable. I never expected them to hide it so well."
Yang Xin'Er sighed and laughed, "Boss Han, Old Master Song, we may have lost today, but the road ahead is still long. Let's have a good al together; my treat this afternoon!"
"Hahaha! Good, Miss Yang, you're generous!" Song Lu laughed heartily, and the three parties left the Seven Bowls Tea House in succession.
...
Jiangzhou Hotel.
Although the group was drinking, the atmosphere at the table was sowhat heavy.
Li Chuan noticed and laughed, "Everyone, truth be told, we didn't lose today; not only did we not lose, but we also severely hurt the Ni Family."
Yang Xin'Er frowned, "Li Chuan, are you confused? We obviously lost, and we were humiliated by that bitch Ni Yongruo! How is that winning?"
Li Chuan: "Think about it, when we found Director Zhou, didn't he already promise that we'd get that piece in West City? With that in mind, if the city wanted to give this project to soone, would there need to be a bid now?"
Han Chen shook his head, "City projects are generally conducted through bidding, not assigned."
Li Chuan: "Then why did Director Zhou promise to give us the project?"
Han Chen: "..."
Yang Xin'Er: "..."
This was sothing they all overlooked, because Zhou Jianwei did indeed promise, with absolute certainty, that they would be given this major project.
"Actually, who gets the project is all up to the city," Li Chuan smiled. "I have a connection with Secretary Liu from the municipal committee. I saved his father's life during military training, and also the two geomancers from the Nine-Headed Mountain Feng Shui array were saved by . As long as I ask, this project is definitely ours!"
Yang Xin'Er: "..."
Han Chen: "..."
Song Lu: "..."
They never expected that Li Chuan would have such a relationship with the top city official!
Yang Xin'Er: "Li Chuan, since you have this connection with Secretary Liu, why don't you use it? Han Boss and I had to take a loan of thirty billion, and the daily interest is hundreds of thousands!"
Li Chuan poured himself a cup of tea, then said, "Even though I saved Secretary Liu's father and the people he brought, I don't want to use it as a bargaining chip. Because when I save, I save out of my own will. If I don't want to save, no one can force ."
"If I use this favor to ask for Secretary Liu's help, it might affect his career path. If helping us affects his promotion path, it's not good for either us or Secretary Liu, because we don't need him for this project."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xin'Er and the other two looked at Li Chuan, half-understanding.
Li Chuan's previous words made sense, but they couldn't understand his last sentence. The Ni Family had already won; why didn't they need Secretary Liu's intervention?
Li Chuan continued, "I asked you to take loans mainly to drive up the price and make the Ni Family suffer a silent loss!"
"This project, bidding forty billion is already a lot. Fifty billion would be a loss-making deal with no profit."
"Now, the Ni Family spent sixty-five billion, which ans the project hasn't even started and they're already down fifteen billion!"
"And this extra money can also be used by the governnt for livelihood projects, benefiting the people!"
"Don't you think this is very satisfying, very exhilarating?"
With Li Chuan's explanation, the three of them were instantly relieved of their gloom!
Exactly!
Nothing is more satisfying than making the Ni Family lose money!
Li Chuan chuckled, "The most exciting part is yet to co."
"Even though the Ni Family is enjoying their current success, soon they'll regret it beyond asure!"
"Neither the redevelopnt of the old street nor the Feng Shui array on Nine-Headed Mountain are sothing the Ni Family can handle!"
Yang Xin'Er: "Are you saying the Lan Clan won't agree? If the Lan Clan disagrees, the project really can't proceed."
"But why wouldn't they agree? After all, agreeing ans new hos and compensation money, which is better than staying in the old, rundown street." Han Chen was puzzled.
Li Chuan smiled without speaking and directly took out his phone to dial a number, "Old Master Lan, we didn't manage to get the bid today."
"I've already heard," Lan Yubo's hearty voice ca through, "Rest assured, Master Li, apart from you, we won't agree to any relocation unless they offer us two billion first!"
Upon hearing this, the three people at the table were dumbfounded.
The relocation work already requires ten billion, which is quite a lot!
Because that's just the compensation money; the governnt will also compensate with equivalent, fully renovated housing!
But this guy directly said two billion, doubling the amount!
However, Li Chuan's words once again opened their eyes: "Old Master, we can be a bit more daring. The Ni Family has money, right? Then let's directly ask for three billion!"
"Hahaha... Good! Master Li, you truly have courage. We'll ask for three billion then!" Lan Yubo laughed heartily.
"Alright, it's settled," Li Chuan hung up the phone and looked at the three of them, "Lan Yubo, I'm sure you've all heard of him? An old friend of mine."
The three of them: "..."
Yang Xin'Er's beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Chuan, fully transford into a fangirl: "I get it! So, we went to the bank to take out loans not for the bidding plot but to mislead the Ni Family!"
"To secure the bid, the Ni Family must have spent more money than us. Judging by their performance earlier, they seem to have run out of funds, even though they won. So next, for this three billion compensation, they'll have to go to the bank!"
"But we've maxed out the loan limits at Jiangzhou City's bank. They need money, but the bank's money is now ours!"
"But after all this effort, what do you intend to get from the Ni Family?"
When Yang Xin'Er said this, both Han Chen and Song Lu felt a chill down their backs.
Every step of this plan was within Li Chuan's calculations!
This young man is ruthless!
