Chapter 167 How much does it cost?
The Bluetooth headset was flashing slightly, and the person on the other end of Lin Xiangnan's phone was He Rongfa.
He Rongfa was sitting in the car outside the Zijinlou Hotel.
"Don't be impatient. He will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. Just sit down, eat and drink. I don't believe he won't fall for it!"
Lin Xiangnan had no choice but to nod. He sat upright and watched the kitchen start serving the dishes. He ordered some expensive dishes. Before entering the door, He Rongfa told him not to order anything that cost less than 200 yuan per dish.
He ordered six dishes in total and spent more than a thousand yuan, which should be considered as completing the task.
Lin Xiangnan took a bite of the stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions, and the door to a new world immediately opened up for him. They used to eat it often in their hometown, but compared with the Zijin Building, it was slightly different. The dishes here were more flavorful.
After a while, the bodyguard who went down to pay the bill came back and whispered in his ear, "Boss Lin, I went down to pay the bill, but they said that someone else has already paid for it."
Lin Xiangnan was stunned: "Have you paid the bill?"
He was wondering when he saw Ao Guangxiao walking towards him quickly with his big belly.
"Boss Lin, Boss Lin, it's really you. I didn't even dare to recognize you when you were down there just now!"
"Hello, hello, I'm the general manager of MRT Logistics, my name is Ao Guangxiao!"
"Seeing that you've finished your meal here, I took the initiative to pay for you. I hope Mr. Lin can give me this face!"
Lin Xiangnan subconsciously shook hands with Ao Guangxiao, but pretended to be a little confused in his eyes. He deliberately asked: "Have we met before?"
Ao Guangxiao felt a little embarrassed.
"We have never met, but I have longed for Mr. Lin!"
"You have come all the way to Jiangcheng. As a local entrepreneur in Jiangcheng, I must do my best to be a good host!"
The bodyguard next to him lowered his head at the right time and said, "Boss Lin, this is the boss of MRT Logistics that I told you about last time."
Lin Xiangnan looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
"It turned out to be Mr. Ao from Jieyun Logistics. Now I remember that there are two giants in Jiangcheng's logistics industry. One is Susutong Logistics, which we met today, and the other one is Jieyun Logistics!"
"Oh, Mr. Ao, I really don't recognize the real talent!"
"Thank you for paying for me. Have you eaten yet? If not, why don't we sit down and have a bite together?"
Ao Guangxiao showed joy on his face. Lin Xiangnan knew him, so this was easy. But it was also true that after coming all the way to Jiangcheng to invest, how could he only know about Susutong Logistics? Their Jitun Logistics, as a veteran in the logistics industry, must also be on Lin Xiangnan's investigation list.
"I just took a bite, but since Mr. Lin invited me, how could I refuse?"
Lin Xiangnan laughed and pushed a few plates of food towards Ao Guangxiao.
"Boss Ao, the taste of your Dongjiang cuisine is very much to my taste. I will definitely come here often in the future!"
Ao Guangxiao chatted with Lin Xiangnan in a random manner, but all they talked about was the scenery of Jiangcheng City, or food and entertainment, and they just didn't get to the point.
Ao Guangxiao felt as uncomfortable as if he was being scratched by a cat after hearing this.
"Boss Lin, I heard that you came to Jiangcheng this time to invest?"
Lin Xiangnan took a bite of the food and smiled: "Oh, what are you talking about!"
Ao Guangxiao was startled: "What did you say?"
Lin Xiangnan slapped his head and said, "Hey, I mean, you're talking about this matter!"
"I am here this time for my company. We are planning to invest in several projects in the mainland. As you know, we are investors. We have a lot of money. It is useless to keep it in the bank. Of course, we have to spend it."
"This time, we investigated several companies and we are very interested in SuSuTong Logistics!"
Ao Guangxiao was a little anxious: "Boss Lin, the boss of Susutong Logistics is a treacherous villain. If you cooperate with him, there will be no good end. Our Jieyun Logistics is the largest logistics company in Jiangcheng!"
"You can ask around. Who doesn't know about our MRT Logistics?"
"Instead of investing in Speed Express Logistics, why not come and have a look at our JETTRANS Logistics? We are a better choice!"
Lin Xiangnan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Ao Guangxiao would be so straightforward and directly ask him to transfer money. For a moment, he was a little speechless. After all, he was not very clear about the things involved.
He Rongfa's voice sounded in the headphones at the right time.
"The Si family is behind MRT Logistics. Just say that you think they don't lack money."
Lin Xiangnan was a little surprised: "Boss Ao, don't you have a big capital and a big consortium behind your MRT Logistics? Are you still short of money?"
Ao Guangxiao took a breath, he finally knew where the problem lay. Lin Xiangnan came to invest, as long as he invested in the logistics industry, he should not bypass their MRT Logistics no matter what.
Even if you just come to do some research and go through the motions, and finally choose Susutong Logistics, it is understandable.
But not only did Lin Xiangnan not come, he didn't even say hello to him. If Peng Lei hadn't told him, he would still be kept in the dark!
It turned out that Lin Xiangnan thought that Jieyun Logistics belonged to the Si family and was not short of money at all, so he did not contact him!
"You misunderstood, Mr. Lin. All the shares of Jieyun Logistics are in my hands now. I have already bought the company back from the Si family!"
"We at MRT Logistics are in need of money to expand our business!"
Lin Xiangnan opened his mouth wide, pretending to be surprised. He Rongfa had told him these things over and over again, and his ears were almost callused. But here, he had to pretend that he heard it for the first time.
"So that's how it is. I didn't know before that MRT Logistics is actually in the hands of Boss Ao!"
"So what problem is Mr. Ao facing now, and how much money does he need?"
Ao Guangxiao was shocked, thinking to himself that Lin Xiangnan was really sensible, worthy of being a Hong Kong businessman from the south. He was different from the locals of Dongjiang Province. If it were Dongjiang Province, he would have to have three rounds of wine, five kinds of dishes, and then two or three rounds before he could ask him how much money he needed.
And there’s no certainty that this business will succeed.
Ao Guangxiao smiled and said, "It's actually like this, Mr. Lin. I'm old now. Look at me, I have white hair and a body like this. I've become fat because of overwork."
He was not lying. Ever since Jieyue Logistics was squeezed out by Susutong Logistics, he has had more and more white hair on his head.
In addition, as I get older, I have been eating and drinking too much, which has led to obesity and beer belly due to overwork, which has become more and more serious.
"So, I just want to retire and enjoy my old age..."
"I have been looking for a buyer for MRT Logistics recently. This logistics company is like my own child. I am reluctant to sell it, but all good things must come to an end. It is time to let go."
Lin Xiangnan took a bite of the dish and asked with a smile, "So, how much do you plan to sell it for?"
Ao Guangxiao touched his head and chuckled.
"I own more than 60% of the shares of Jieyun Logistics, and I want to sell it for 35 million..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Xiangnan slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant. He picked up the silk handkerchief beside him, wiped his mouth, and sneered.
"Boss Ao, you really treat me like a fish in water!"
