Chapter 3694: Chapter 3686: Lin Yi’s Reverse Maneuver

After discussing the funding issue,

the three of them spent about an hour touring the factory area.

Although it wasn’t perfectly satisfactory, it was quite impressive.

After all, nothing in the world is perfect.

Throughout this process, Xu Kai talked non-stop, expressing his views.

"Let’s go back and talk with him."

Chen Yuying called out, and the three of them drove back.

On the way back, Xu Kai didn’t say much.

But his gaze towards Lin Yi was not very friendly.

Driving back to the city, Chen Yuying was on the phone the entire time.

They finally arranged to meet at a tea house.

"Let’s go to Chuanyun Tea House, I’ll guide you."

"Chuanyun Tea House? I’ve never heard of it before."

"This place is run by the flour mill owner," Chen Yuying said:

"To put it simply, he’s planning to sell off his assets and take it easy."

"That’s actually a good choice," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"Sometimes, you should learn from Tongtong."

"Learn what from her?"

"The philosophy of enjoying life when you should. When it’s time to relax, you should relax."

"I understand the principle, but at this point, I just can’t stop."

"It’s not that you can’t stop, maybe you’re just being a bit obsessive," Lin Yi said:

"Mentality is very important. Always staying tense might not yield good results; you should understand the principle of unintentional actions leading to success."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you," Chen Yuying said with a smile.

Xu Kai’s face showed a look of disdain.

He couldn’t stop muttering in his mind.

Just a driver, and he’s talking about the philosophy of life?

Does he even know what he is?

Over an hour later, the three of them returned to the city and arrived at Chuanyun Tea House.

The tea house had a traditional decor, and standing at the entrance, there was a faint fragrance of tea wafting out.

"Let’s go in and take a look."

Chen Yuying was the first to go in.

A female receptionist in a qipao came up to greet them.

"What would you three like to drink?"

"We have an appointment with President Ma."

The receptionist made a gesture of invitation, "President Ma is on the third floor."

"Okay."

After a brief courteous exchange, the three went up to the third floor.

The third floor was very quiet, with only one table of guests.

Lin Yi glanced at the two people drinking tea and didn’t pay much attention.

"Aren’t they here yet?" Xu Kai whispered.

"They’ve arrived," Chen Yuying whispered back:

"The one in the white linen shirt is the flour mill owner, named Ma Wenbo. He’s probably meeting his friend, let’s go say hello."

"Okay."

The three of them walked towards Ma Wenbo, and at the same time, Ma Wenbo also saw Lin Yi and the other two, stopping his conversation with his friend and getting up.

"President Chen."

"President Ma."

They shook hands.

"President Chen, I apologize. Please wait a little while. We’ll finish our business soon."

"Please go ahead, President Ma."

Since Ma Wenbo was entertaining a friend, the three of them did not stay nearby but sat on chairs in the distance.

"President Zhang, you’ve seen the situation of the factory. I can’t sell it for less than 21 million."

"I’m very satisfied with the factory’s scale and location, but the price is a bit high. We’ve known each other for many years. How about giving me a friendly price - 20 million, and I’ll arrange for the payment tomorrow."

"That price is too low, I really can’t do it. Maybe you should reconsider, President Zhang."

"Don’t rush it. Let’s take our time discussing. Also, the price I offered isn’t low."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yi and Chen Yuying exchanged a glance.

They hadn’t expected the topic of their discussion to be about purchasing the factory area.

Chen Yuying had a bad feeling rise in her heart, her brow furrowed, and she didn’t look too happy.

Her expected price was 15 million.

The other party offered 20 million, and Ma Wenbo still wouldn’t sell it. Her offer of 15 million seemed even more impossible.

This was definitely an unfavorable start.

Based on this, it seemed unnecessary to negotiate further.

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the two and didn’t say much.

Xu Kai looked particularly smug.

"President Chen, you see, my price estimation was accurate. Someone offered 21 million, but he still didn’t want to sell. It just shows it’s worth that much."

"Don’t rush, let me assess the situation."

Xu Kai looked particularly proud, straightening his back again.

He had studied abroad and had internship experience at a major company.

Not just the driver, even Chen Yuying couldn’t compare to him.

To think they questioned his ability, now they should understand what vision is.

The three of them focused their attention on Ma Wenbo.

They wanted to know how the negotiation would proceed.

"We’ve known each other for a long time; don’t be so inflexible. Let’s discuss this further."

"Mainly your price isn’t suitable, coming straight in with a cut of one million. You can’t negotiate like this, there’s no sincerity," Ma Wenbo said with feigned difficulty.

"Then how about this? Let’s both compromise a little - 20.5 million, what do you think?"

Ma Wenbo didn’t refuse outright, seemingly considering it within his range.

"Alright, I’ll think about this price and get back to you."

"Old Ma, with such a good price, what’s there to consider? You should just sign the contract now."

"This is a big deal after all. We both need to be cautious. Give me a day to think it over."

"Alright then, consider it and let me know quickly. But let me warn you, it must be reserved for me. Such a great place shouldn’t be given to someone else."

"Okay, I got it."

When the conversation reached a stable point, the person referred to as President Zhang got up to leave.

Ma Wenbo, smiling, came over to Chen Yuying.

"President Chen, I’m really sorry. He’s a friend of mine, and I didn’t expect him to show up suddenly. I apologize for taking up your time."

Faced with such a situation,

it was Chen Yuying who was at a loss for words.

Since she couldn’t offer that high a price, whatever she said next would be pointless.

"President Ma, you’re too kind. It’s okay as long as we didn’t disturb you."

"How can you say it was a disturbance?" replied Ma Wenbo with a smile:

"President Chen, what kind of tea do you like? I’ll have the staff brew some."

"We’re easy-going guests. President Ma, just arrange it as you see fit, no need to trouble yourself too much."

"We’re all friends here, no need to stand on ceremony."

Ma Wenbo waved over a tea house attendant and brewed a pot of Tieguanyin.

"President Chen, you’ve seen the factory as well. Are you satisfied with the on-site conditions?"

"Generally, it’s satisfactory, but many details need renovation. After all, we’re in the transportation business, so we can’t use it as it is."

"That’s for sure, given they are two different industries."

Ma Wenbo maintained a gentle smile.

"President Chen, what’s the expected price range in your mind?"

"Eighteen..."

"Thirteen million," Lin Yi interjected.
