613: Chapter 0613: No Business Without Cunning 613: Chapter 0613: No Business Without Cunning After the group had spoken, Lin Yingying finally opened her mouth and said, “I understand your demands.
I have carefully looked over this project, and the reason the compensation for the demolition of Shangrongshu Village reached thirteen thousand per square ter is that the city’s Line 4 subway is planned to pass through there.
This subway line, at its closest point to your village, is ten kiloters away.
That is to say, you are not within the scope of the subway line.”
The villagers fell silent, their eyes fixed on Lin Yingying; it seed that thirteen thousand was unlikely to be an option anymore.
The village chief said, “Director Lin, we do not care about this subway or not; we all live together.
Why should the other place be more expensive, and ours cheaper?
Our bottom line is thirteen thousand; any less than that, and it won’t work for anyone who cos.”
The villagers echoed in agreent, “Right, we won’t demolish if even a penny less!”
“As expected, capitalists are heartless.”
“Thought we had one of our own, but turns out she also wants to take advantage of us!”
“…”
Su Laicai, more understanding, quickly waved his hands and cald everyone down, “Everyone, don’t quarrel.
Let’s let Director Lin finish speaking!”
The crowd rolled their eyes at him; now they all considered him a traitor.
Lin Yingying took a sip of tea and continued, “So, on top of the original offer by Wuu Corporation, we will compensate an additional one thousand yuan per square ter.
If everyone agrees, Lin’s Group will take over this project.
If you disagree, then we will continue at an impasse.
According to the city’s developnt pace, I estimate that the property prices here will go up in about ten years.
By then, people will take it over even at fifteen thousand, not to ntion eleven thousand.”
Her attitude was clear and firm.
Lin’s Group could take over, but could not operate at a loss.
The current property prices in the city, for a good location, were only twenty-one thousand per square ter.
In such a remote part of the Southern Suburb with no subway line, the normal demolition price was about eight thousand or so.
Eleven thousand was already her bottom line.
The group of people discussed among themselves; they couldn’t wait ten years for their houses.
Besides, with the subsidy coming down now, they could imdiately exchange for a new house.
After ten years, the increased value of their properties would certainly be higher than the subsidy.
Everyone was no fool; they could do the math.
Lin Yingying stood up, picked up her bag, and left with Long Fei.
In the eyes of other companies, this area was a juicy piece of at.
If they cannot take it, they also want to stuff it in their mouths.
Currently, Lin’s Group had too many projects, and this one was optional.
Therefore, Lin Yingying had plenty of confidence.
Su Laicai saw the two out, sending them to their car, and anxiously asked, “Why are you leaving already, haven’t we still not finished negotiating?”
Lin Yingying said deliberately, “I heard that a company from Qingdong City is also ready to take over this project.
They have a good relationship with the Zheng Family and have a great chance of succeeding.
Don’t rush; in so ti, they should co to talk to you!”
“Ah?”
Su Laicai’s head was filled with worry upon hearing this; having just gotten rid of a wolf, there was no hope for a tiger to co in.
People from Qingdong City were outsiders, and when it ca to dealing with the people from Binhai, they were ruthless!
Long Fei, amused by Lin Yingying, thought to himself that she was indeed very cunning.
No business without deceit; it seems true.
He had always thought of her as a serious businesswoman, but it turned out she also understood psychological tactics.
Long Fei added for her, “Brother Su, have a good talk with the villagers.
I can help you this ti, but not the next.
If sothing goes wrong later, everyone will have to find their own solution.”
He rolled up the car window and left with Lin Yingying.
Su Laicai stood dumbfounded, then quickly went back to inform the villagers of the news.
In the car, Long Fei couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Lin Yingying in the rearview mirror and asking, “Is there really a company from Qingdong City coming over to take over?”
Lin Yingying said indifferently, “Where that would be, I’m just talking nonsense.
The waters of Binhai are so deep, and the Zheng Family has already taken a fall.
Who else would dare to co over?”
“Is it really okay for you to lie like this?”
Long Fei guessed as much.
Lin Yingying said, “People are very selfish.
They like to take advantage, but they absolutely can’t stand losing out.
No matter how good you are to them, they will still feel you’ve taken advantage of them.
Therefore, in business, without employing so strategies, you just can’t get by.
In a couple of days, if they are still hesitant, I’ll have companies from Qingdong City co to inspect and then drive the price down to eight thousand.
If that doesn’t work, then six thousand.
By then, they will co to us on their own initiative to talk about this.
They’ll think they’ve gotten a bargain, and we’ll be able to make a little profit.”
“Not bad, kind of interesting.”
Long Fei admired her, he couldn’t engage in such scheming.
If Chu Feng were here, he probably would have played it even better.
Compared to Lin Yingying, he was just as good.
During lunchti, the two didn’t return to the company but sat down in the Japanese restaurant downstairs instead.
A table of people saw them and imdiately stood up.
Only an old man turned his head for a glance, locking eyes with Long Fei.
Lin Yingying raised her eyebrow, thinking to herself that enemies often cross paths; even here, they ran into these Dongying people.
The people at the opposite table were none other than the group of Dongying people Long Fei had encountered at Lao Tan Seafood Restaurant.
They seed unperturbed, but one young person at the table made Long Fei raise an eyebrow.
That young man was actually the son of the director of the education bureau of school number eight, Yang Jie.
Only to hear Hemao Zhengxiong speak in stiff Huaxia, shouting at Long Fei non-stop, “Master, it’s this bastard who beat us!”
Yang Jie also called out in a deep voice, “Master, the person I asked you to find is him.”
The old man frowned, his eyes blazing as he sized up Long Fei, not expecting that this young man had bullied his two disciples.
He stood up, walked over, and bowed slightly to Long Fei, saying, “Hey, my na is Hemao Dekang.
I’ve heard from my disciples that you are a very skilled expert?”
Long Fei thought he was coming to fight, but the old man turned out to be quite courteous.
He acknowledged, “That’s right, what do you want?”
Hemao Dekang said, “Tomorrow morning, I have an appointnt with a friend to exchange techniques at your Lotus Lake Park.
I hope the gentleman could honor us with his presence.
I also wish to exchange a few moves with you, as a form of cultural exchange between our two countries.”
The old man spoke politely, but he was clearly issuing a challenge.
Long Fei and Lin Yingying exchanged glances and accepted the challenge, “Alright, see you tomorrow!”
“Yoshi!”
Hemao Dekang smiled happily, bowed to Long Fei, signaled to his disciples, and left.
Hemao Zhengxiong taunted Long Fei, “You bastard, just you wait until tomorrow!”
Yang Jie also sneered coldly, thinking to himself that Long Fei dared to fight with him.
Now that’s settled, he had invited a karate master from Dongying, and tomorrow they would leave him disabled.
Long Fei didn’t realize that this kid had the potential to be a traitor.
He dipped his fingers into his cup and flicked a drop of wine out.
With a “plop”, the droplet hit Yang Jie’s leg.
Yang Jie’s knee bent, and he fell to one knee with a thump, crying out in shock, “Who, who hit ?”
Lin Yingying covered her mouth, laughing.
She didn’t know how this Huaxia person got mixed into it all.
Looking at him, it seed he had a significant grudge against Long Fei.
