615 Not Giving in at All
The man in white looked at Zhang Rong and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Zhang, I’m afraid that’s not appropriate, right?”
What Zhang Rong meant was that he wanted to take over this construction project by himself. The other real estate developers could only watch and do nothing.
Another member in black patted his chest and said with a sanctimonious expression, “I heard that Greenland Group has several development rights. The pie is large enough to be split among us brothers. Of course, with Mr. Zhang as the leader, I, Wang Qi, have no objections to allocating him a little more.”
“I often tell experts that Mr. Zhang is my idol. He doesn’t have to do the project himself. He just delegates it to someone else. Once, twice, a billion in profits. Mr. Zhang takes 900 million, and the remaining 100 million is divided into dozens of shares. Isn’t it good to watch a group of people scrambling?” Someone else was looking at Zhang Rong with ‘admiration’. On the surface, he was praising him, but in fact, he was mocking him.
Zhang Rong smiled and said to everyone, “Everyone, to be honest, I really need this project to turn over the cash flow. Business has not been doing well recently. I calculated that there is a total profit of 1.6 billion. There are seven people working on it. I will take one billion, and the remaining 600 million will be divided equally among you. Of course, the quality must be guaranteed, or else it will not be easy for me to report back.”
It was obvious what Zhang Rong meant.
He would take away one billion yuan without lifting a finger. The remaining six would split the 600 million yuan equally. However, to ensure the quality of the project, the 600 million yuan was inclusive of all the materials, including expenses.
On average, it would be good if each of the six could earn a few million yuan, but compared to Zhang Rong’s net profit of one billion yuan, it was insignificant.
“Mr. Zhang, if you’re talking about business not being good, it’s the same for everyone. It’s not like you don’t know the market in recent years. The market is becoming more and more transparent. I had a few thousand tons of garlic a while ago and wanted to make a big profit. In the end, they directly imported it from abroad. All of a sudden, my heart was bleeding.”
After Zhang Rong finished speaking, someone immediately replied with a worried expression, “It wasn’t easy for us to wait until the government bid, hoping to get some cash back on this project. But since you have put it this way, it’s not good for me to continue expressing my opinion. After all, as you have just said, this is a project that the higher-ups specifically asked you to do.”
“Mr. Zhang… This distribution method seems a little unreasonable, right? Why don’t you think about it?”
“That doesn’t make sense. Mr. Zhang, you want us to do a wonderful job, but you can’t bear to contribute more. Even if the cow produces milk, you have to feed it, right?”
After someone took the lead, others immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in a white shirt snorted coldly. He wanted to see how Zhang Rong would handle this!
Although Zhang Rong’s background was very strong, these people were not to be trifled with if they worked together. If they really fell out with one another, no one could monopolize the benefits. At most, everyone would not make money.
Looking at the group of people sitting around him discussing in low voices, Zhang Rong suddenly laughed out loud without warning.
Zhang Rong’s thin and vicious face only had an extremely brilliant smile on it. It lasted for more than ten seconds until the room returned to silence. His laughter did not stop.
“This… What does Mr. Zhang mean by this?”
“This guy can’t have gone crazy? No wonder he said such heartless words earlier.”
Everyone was speculating about Zhang Rong’s true intentions behind his state, but there was no doubt that they had underestimated Zhang Rong’s determination.
Zhang Rong laughed for a full minute before he stopped. Then, he slowly looked at everyone’s expressions and slowly said, “I suddenly feel that all of you are very beautiful, like beauties; like stunning beauties. You are as shrewd as those from Country M, good at negotiating, at doing business.”
“Mr. Zhang, you must be joking. How can we compare to you in terms of shrewdness and excellence at doing business?” the bald man in white said with a fake smile.
“Guo Yang, Qiao Si, the quality of your projects is not bad. Everyone in the industry recognizes this. How about this? I’ll split another 200 million, and the two of you will each take 100 million. For the remainder of the hot potato, I’ll stuff it everywhere.
“In the second half of the year, there will be an empty seat for the representative of the National People’s Congress of N City. Ever since I learned of this news, I haven’t had a full day’s sleep. Even in my dreams, I’m chatting with my colleagues about state affairs in the city hall.” As Zhang Rong spoke, he inadvertently revealed a piece of news that stunned everyone present.
The value of a NPC representative was too high.
But the question was, was Zhang Rong qualified?
