Chapter 102: Two hundred million? Not enough!
After learning that He Shenghe was determined not to lose fans, Xiang Yan keenly realized that this was definitely an opportunity to expand Xinji's influence, so he increased his efforts and investment in spreading fans.
After all, even if Wo Shing Wo doesn’t lose fans, it won’t actually change anything. The number of fans in Hong Kong Island will not decrease, and the market will still be as big.
Moreover, without the strong competitor Heshenghe, the shipment volumes of other groups have all increased and the sales situation is very good.
As a result of this increase, Xinji's sales during this period have at least doubled, and the inventory is no longer enough, so they decided to invite Lin Zehao out for dinner today.
"During this period, it's not just your Xinji family that has come to me to discuss this matter. Anyway, I won't lose my fans, so I'll sell it to anyone."
"There are nearly two tons of stock in the warehouse now, all of which are Double Lion Earth brand. Please name your price."
"If the price you offer is worth negotiating, we can continue the discussion. Otherwise, I won't waste my time any more."
Again, even if Lin Zehao ordered the entire Wo Shing Wo to stop selling fans, it would not change much for the entire Hong Kong Island.
Anyway, other clubs’ territories are selling fans. For those addicts, it doesn’t matter whose territories they buy from. It’s just a matter of walking a little more distance.
In this social context, individual power is nothing at all and is just a drop in the bucket.
Unless, one day, Lin Zehao can raise his voice and make the whole of Hong Kong Island obey his orders obediently, the disaster of losing fans can be completely eliminated.
"Let's calculate it based on two tons. The current market price of the Double Lion Earth brand is around 400 million. I'll give you half of it, 200 million Hong Kong dollars."
Xiang Yan thought for a moment and gave a price.
At the same time, he couldn't help but give Lin Zehao a thumbs up in his heart.
First, he pointed out that there were more than one competitor, Xinji Society, and then he asked himself to make an offer. With this combination of operations, no one dared to bid a low price.
Although Xiang Yan was reluctant, he had to admit that Wei Longhao was simply an expert in manipulating people's hearts.
"Twenty million?"
"not enough."
"At least 350 million. The goods are in Hong Kong Island, which saves you the transportation risk. You will definitely not lose money."
Since Lin Zehao has no way to change the fact that these societies have lost fans for the time being, he can only make these people bleed more by asking for a huge sum of money.
"Wait a moment, let's discuss this."
Xiang Yan turned around and whispered with Xiang Bo.
Seeing this, Lin Zehao picked up his chopsticks again, started eating the hot pot, and enjoyed it with relish.
He had Xiang Yan under his tight control and there was no way he could escape from his palm.
"Three hundred and fifty million is actually acceptable. Although it is much more expensive than the Golden Triangle, it does save the transportation risk. Moreover, every time we receive the goods, we have to give a lot of benefits to the Marine Police..."
"What's more, Wei Longhao has ordered He Shenghe not to sell any more fans now, leaving a large market vacant. If we have enough supply, we can definitely take advantage of the opportunity to occupy more market share..."
"Now the Ni family and the Wang brothers are all competing for the market. As long as we can seize the opportunity first, we will have an advantage in the subsequent struggle."
Xiang Bo was very rational. He pushed his glasses and quickly analyzed the pros and cons.
The user stickiness of Conch is very high. After using it once, users will become dependent on it for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, as long as you can occupy enough market share, there is no need to worry about the repurchase rate.
"What you said does make sense, but it's more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and it's clean money that has been laundered. We can't come up with so much money in a short time..."
Xiang Yan had just offered to pay with clean banknotes in order to act like a big shot, but he regretted it now. If he wasn't so rude, he could have used this as a condition to try to bargain.
It's not like it is now, where I don't even know where to start if I want to bargain.
"Why don't we use the society's land as collateral? Didn't Hongxing do the same thing some time ago?"
"Anyway, judging from the current Hong Kong Island real estate market, there is basically no room for growth. We can use these dead objects to exchange for working capital, which is a sure win!"
Xiang Bo pushed his glasses on his nose again, and a wise light appeared in his eyes.
"This is a good idea, but the Lin family will definitely stand up and oppose it."
Xiang Yan was somewhat tempted, but although he was the leader of the society, he had to hold a public meeting and vote before using the society's land as collateral.
Given his relationship with the Lin family, the other party would definitely not agree.
"We do this for the development of the society. Even if the Lin family disagrees, others will agree. Who can have a grudge against Yinzhi?"
"Besides, the land was left by our father, and you are the leader of the society. Whether it is emotional or logical, we are qualified to use it. Even if Lin Shixia disagrees, it's no big deal."
"Let's get the job done first. Then, that old fellow Lin Shixia will have no choice but to admit it."
After Xiang Bo's analysis, Xiang Yan's brain worked rapidly. After doing some calculations, he finally made up his mind.
At this time, Lin Zehao just put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
Seeing this, Xiang Yan said, "Mr. Lin, I agree to the 350 million, but we at Xinji don't have that much money at the moment. Can we solve it in other ways?"
"We can probably come up with about 100 million in banknotes, but we can't take out the remaining 200 million for the time being..."
Hearing this, Lin Zehao's eyes looked a little strange, and Xiang Yan quickly said, "Don't worry, we won't default on our debt. We have a piece of land in our hands, and we can use this land to pay off the debt."
The former leader of Xinji, Xiang Qian, had quite a fortune back then. In addition, land prices were cheap at that time, so it was not uncommon for him to have accumulated several pieces of land.
Lin Zehao is of course well aware that the land prices in Hong Kong Island have always been on an upward trend. Even if the prices temporarily drop due to force majeure, they will rise again later.
Selling land to buy fans, Lin Zehao really didn't know whether Xiang Yan was deliberately making progress or was just a spendthrift.
Land in Hong Kong Island is a business that is sure to make money. Lin Zehao has also thought about buying some, but he is not wealthy enough now, and it is not the best time to buy at the bottom, so he has not taken any big action.
It was not until 1982 that the price of land in Hong Kong Island fell to the bottom due to certain uncontrollable factors.
That’s when it’s the best time to wave a check and enter the market.
Thinking of this, Lin Zehao deliberately said: "You are really calculating. You want to use the land to pay off the debt. The real estate market in Hong Kong Island is not booming right now. Why should I agree to your conditions?"
"I am taking too much risk by betting such a large sum of money on real estate. If the property market falls in the future, who will compensate me for my losses?"
"Instead of that, I'd rather just take cash and do whatever I want."
A qualified hunter is definitely a master at playing hard to get.
This is human nature. We often don’t cherish things that are too easy to get.
Now that he has found the opportunity, Lin Zehao must maximize the benefits. If he doesn't get more from Xiang Yan, he would be letting God down.
Anyway, his father Xiang Qian left Xiang Yan a lot of wealth, so he shouldn't feel bad about just a few pieces of land.
