How could someone who's been reborn be optimized?

Chapter 86: Cheers!

"You want to see me at this time?"

Chen Yuanzhou looked at the text message sent by Lin Baoyi and pondered.

Before leaving the Qinghu Renjia sales office in the afternoon, he had already had a very in-depth conversation with Lin Baoyi.

In addition to agreeing on the cooperation method, he also received many suggestions on how to operate a real estate speculation group.

After all, the underlying logic of real estate speculators is actually private fundraising, which is a behavior that skirts the edge of a gray area.

Before the emergence of real estate speculation groups, the scale and impact of fundraising were not significant. It generally only existed in a certain city and helped to improve local performance from certain perspectives. Therefore, it was both loved and hated by local officials in terms of regulation, who turned a blind eye to it.

However, it is precisely because of the emergence of real estate speculation groups that the required amount of funds has expanded almost exponentially, and their influence has become unprecedented, to the point that they can easily become illegal.

Knowing how to avoid these risks is a very important matter!

After all, Chen Yuanzhou didn't want to use the sewing machine...

With this in mind, he replied with a text message:

What's up?

Lin Baoyi replied quickly:

I happened to run into an acquaintance at dinner; they're also interested in collaborating and would like to invite you to meet them.

"You're really in a hurry!"

Chen Yuanzhou smiled slightly. It seemed that after the four trillion yuan plan was implemented, Lin Baoyi's mentality had completely changed, and he wanted to take big strides forward, contacting new investors so quickly.

Since that was the case, I really needed to meet him, so I replied with a text message agreeing to the meeting, and Lin Baoyi quickly sent me the address.

"Who is it?" Wu Fangzhi asked curiously as she served food to Chen Yuanzhou.

Looking at the gentle Wu Fangzhi who had calmed down, Chen Yuanzhou said with great regret, "I probably won't be able to spend time with you tonight. I have an appointment to discuss work."

"Hmph~" Wu Fangzhi pouted, feigning anger, and said, "Is work more important or am I?"

Chen Yuanzhou was taken aback by her question, and just as he was wondering if his choice had been hasty, Wu Fangzhi continued, "None of that matters, you're the most important!"

"Give me your house key, I...I'll go tidy up the room..."

As she finished speaking, her voice grew softer and softer, and her face flushed red once again.

Her appearance instantly reminded Chen Yuanzhou of their first meeting, when she was so arrogant.

"Indeed, the only constant in a woman is her fickleness."

He smiled as he thought about it, then took out the keys and handed them to Wu Fangzhi. Worried that she might forget, he sent her the address via text message.

"Hehe~" Wu Fangzhi hugged Chen Yuanzhou and kissed him: "Go ahead and do your work, I'll wait for you at home."

Without further ado, Chen Yuanzhou got up, patted Wu Fangzhi's head, and ran away amidst her frantic resistance.

……

In a private room at a high-end restaurant, Lin Baoyi put away his phone and smiled at the middle-aged man beside him, "President Zheng, President Chen will be here shortly, so please wait a moment."

This Mr. Zheng is named Zheng Hong. He is also a well-known entrepreneur in Haishi. He is older than Lin Baoyi, around 50 years old, and belongs to the first generation of veteran entrepreneurs in Haishi.

So although his Shunhai Group was not as large or influential as Lin Baoyi's Guangxia Group, Lin Baoyi respected him very much!

After all, although Zheng Hong is currently more capable of maintaining the status quo than making progress, he is very prestigious in the business community of Shanghai.

Lin Baoyi's next goal is to raise a larger amount of funds, and in this context, securing Zheng Hong's support would be very helpful.

And it was also a coincidence that he only heard about Zheng Hong's business trip to Jiangcheng City near dusk, which led to tonight's dinner party.

"It's alright~" Zheng Hong chuckled, "Actually, we came to Jiangcheng this time with the intention of investing in real estate. We've heard that you're doing very well, Mr. Lin, and we've been wanting to learn from you. Of course, we should meet your advisor!"

Lin Baoyi was delighted to hear this. If he could directly recruit Zheng Hong into the group, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!

A young man standing next to Zheng Hong also laughed and said, "A person who can be valued so much by President Lin must be a talent. I can also learn from him."

The speaker was Zheng Hong's only son, Zheng Jun, who had just graduated from university in Jiangcheng. After graduation, he simply stayed in Shanghai and indulged in the glitz and glamour of Jiangcheng every night.

If his dad hadn't come to Haishi today, he'd probably be partying in a bar right now...

However, he also knew Lin Baoyi's influence, and he still had to give him some face in public.

About half an hour later, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Chen Yuanzhou peeked in and saw Lin Baoyi. He immediately smiled and walked in.

Lin Baoyi was also very happy to see him. He was about to get up to greet him when Zheng Hong also made a move to get up.

Chen Yuanzhou realized this was a gesture of respect from the group. However, being the junior, he dared not let them greet him, and quickly ran over: "President Lin, please sit down, everyone please sit down. Sorry I'm late, it's a bit far."

From this one meeting alone, Zheng Hong had a very good first impression of Chen Yuanzhou!

He thought to himself that the young man whom Lin Baoyi admired so much was not arrogant and spoke humbly. Regardless of his actual talent and learning, he was at least sensible.

Then Lin Baoyi cheerfully introduced Chen Yuanzhou: "This is Zheng Hong, President Zheng! He helped me a lot when I was starting my business. He's a well-known senior figure in the business world in Shanghai! And this is his son, Zheng Jun, a rising star!"

As he spoke, he secretly winked at Chen Yuanzhou and glanced at the wine that had been prepared on the table.

Chen Yuanzhou didn't know the Zheng father and son, but judging from Lin Baoyi's behavior, he astutely grasped Zheng Hong's importance and understood Lin Baoyi's meaning. He then picked up the wine dispenser in front of him and said very seriously, "It is truly an honor to meet you both today! I'd like to propose a toast! Cheers!"

After saying that, Chen Yuanzhou tilted his head back and prepared to down the two ounces of liquor.

Although he hasn't drunk alcohol since his rebirth, he still feels powerless and has no choice but to take a gamble to achieve his goal.

Sure enough, alcohol tolerance takes time to develop. Drinking so much at once caused Chen Yuanzhou to cough a few times. Fortunately, Lin Baoyi had prepared good wine, which helped him barely hold on.

Chen Yuanzhou's reaction surprised Zheng Hong for a moment, then he burst into laughter: "You young man are too straightforward! Alright, I'll have a drink with you!"

As he spoke, Zheng Hong also abandoned the small cup and directly picked up the decanter to drink it down!

Chen Yuanzhou lowered his head and grinned, trying to resist the effects of the alcohol, but he raised his hand to applaud Zheng Hong, thinking that this was a breakthrough.

Chen Yuanzhou knew very well that his predecessors, who had come from the rough and tumble era to the present day, liked to judge a person based on their behavior at the dinner table.

If you act coy and hesitant, you'll only be seen as pretentious and not someone you can get close to.

But if you dare to get drunk and act recklessly, you might have everything you could want!

Moreover, Lin Baoyi has given such a clear hint, so of course we can't back down!

Seeing Chen Yuanzhou's quick wit, Lin Baoyi laughed and downed his drink in one gulp as well.

After finishing his drink, he covered his mouth with a towel on the table, slyly using the towel to wipe away some of the wine, and his opinion of Chen Yuanzhou rose even higher.

Although he greatly admired Chen Yuanzhou's grasp of the market, he knew that in business, real skills alone weren't enough...

Having navigated the business world for many years, he has seen too many capable people fail simply because they don't know how to treat others!

Only at this moment did Lin Baoyi become absolutely certain that Chen Yuanzhou would definitely be his best partner from now on!
