Chapter 742: Walking Into a Trap! (The Third Update!)
Lin Yu lowered his eyes and thought about all the bad things he had encountered in his previous life and this life. He also thought about his troubled brother-in-law in his mind for a long time. Then he suppressed the excitement in his heart and replaced it with a Calm look.
He reached out and picked up the tea handed over by Chen Yuan on the table, shook it gently, brought the tea to his mouth and took a sip, holding the tea in his mouth and asked in a low voice:
"Aunt Chen, there is a saying that investment is risky and you need to be cautious when entering the industry. You have done well in the real estate industry, why do you suddenly care about bank investment?"
"Moreover, we have also been in contact with Norman Bank. Although they are supported by the Saudi Development Fund, they are headquartered in America. In the end, they are an American bank."
"China and America have many conflicts. Once there is some friction between the two sides, those investments may be wasted."
"The most important point is that there are so many rich people in America, how can those good investment opportunities come to China."
As he spoke, Lin Yu clenched the teacup in his hand, and even his tone was a bit persuasive.
After a moment of pause, he tried again:
"Although the investment income in China is a bit lower, the advantage is that it is relatively stable. It is easier to manage if it is invested domestically. There is really no need to invest in foreign funds."
After finishing his probing words, he secretly looked at Chen Yuan from the corner of his eye, trying to see some extra expressions on the other person's face.
Unfortunately, the makeup on Chen Yuan's face was too thick, covering up the changes in facial muscles, which made Lin Yu very disappointed.
After hearing the persuasion, Chen Yuan on the other side shrugged her shoulders and showed an expression that said you thought I didn't persuade her.
He leaned back on the chair and responded calmly:
"When they came to me, I also persuaded them and said that we had acquired a lot of good land. As long as it was developed, it would be a profitable business, and asked them to invest their funds in us."
"But they didn't want to because they thought the moon abroad was rounder, so there was nothing I could do, so I didn't continue to persuade them."
Hearing this, Lin Yu was very surprised. He tilted his head and looked at Chen Yuan sideways: "You didn't participate?"
"Do you think I still have funds?" Chen Yuan rolled her eyes, stood up and walked to the study. After a while, she came back with a document bag in her hand, opening the document bag as she walked.
The document bag was opened, and his plain hands took out some documents from the document bag and placed them all in front of Lin Yu:
"This is the statistics of the land parcels we obtained across the country in the name of Rheinsteel."
"There are a total of 34 plots, and the land value exceeds 20 billion. However, because of your relationship, we have not filled in that much funds yet."
"The working capital for subsequent development will probably be around 12 billion."
"Except for bank loans, the rest is our own. You are also a company CEO. You should be very clear about the relationship between the company's market value and cash flow."
"And according to our survey, the expected returns from these plots are very good. There is no need for me to spend my funds elsewhere and waste my time."
"The thing my dad always said to me the most is that one can't do things half-heartedly, especially when doing big things. After all, we are just mediocre people, not geniuses."
"Not like you."
Faced with this small compliment, Lin Yu accepted it very calmly, looked over the document in his hand as quickly as possible, and returned it.
"It's good to be able to concentrate on one thing. Tell me, how can I help?"
Hearing that Lin Yu was willing to help, Chen Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face. She quickly put the documents back into the document bag, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, opened the chat software, and found a screenshot in the chat software, which was displayed in In front of Lin Yu:
"That's right!"
"Norman Bank has issued some asset packages to the outside world. The subject matter of these asset packages are America's farms, estates, and the ownership of some land."
“It’s just that these asset packages are relatively expensive and they don’t accept splitting.”
"When I was in Shanghai, I made a few local friends. They knew the person in charge of Norman Bank's development in China. They wanted to buy an asset package from him, but the purchase conditions were harsh and the price was expensive, so it never happened."
"During a meal, the person in charge who came to China for development mentioned your name and highly praised you."
"So I just want to ask you for a favor, but I haven't told anyone else about this yet. All this needs to wait for your reply, and then I can go and talk to them."
"They also know that I have a good relationship with you, so they have been hinting secretly."
"I have also been contacting your mother-in-law."
"It's a coincidence that you are in Yanjing these two days, and the people from Norman Bank are also in Yanjing, and they are also in Yanjing."
"So, do me a favor!"
"This photo is the asset package launched by Norman Bank."
After hearing the cause and effect, Lin Yu calmly picked up the phone, looked at the photos inside, and read the so-called asset package carefully.
This so-called asset package is a villa located in Lake Forest on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois.
From the photos taken, you can see that this is a three-story single-family villa.
It is also a very rare reinforced concrete building in America, with a large courtyard, green lawn, and tall American red pine dotted on the lawn.
The uniformed butler was wearing an elegant small suit, with a gentle smile on his face, his hands on his lower abdomen, and was slightly bending towards the photographer, looking extremely respectful and obedient.
Just this smile can make people feel the butler's meticulous care.
The furnishings in the villa are even more luxurious and warm. Even Lin Yu, after seeing the furnishings of this villa, also felt that it was very good from the bottom of his heart.
The last photo is a distant view of the villa.
In the dense trees, there are many villas dotted like stars. The distance between each other is not far, but not close. It is a very rare place for recuperation.
This...
If there is no pit, this is indeed a very good asset.
Then, Lin Yu's finger slid down, and he finally saw the final asset package statistics.
Only then did he realize that the so-called asset package was not a villa at all, but more than 60 villas.
The price of these villas is more than 3 million US dollars at the lowest and more than 30 million US dollars at the highest.
The photo I saw at the beginning is the most expensive one, worth 37 million US dollars.
This is only the value of the house, and does not include the taxes and other handling fees required for the transfer. For the whole set, it is only the first purchase. In addition to the value of the house itself, it will cost an additional 6 million US dollars.
Moreover, there are taxes every year!
Property tax!
Looking at the final list, Lin Yu calculated in his mind that it would cost about 650 million US dollars to purchase and transfer this asset package, and it was directly delivered in cash, and no other bills of exchange were accepted.
This is a lot of money.
After all, there are many people who brag that they are big bosses every day, but if they are asked to take out 100,000 yuan on the spot, they will have to touch their underwear.
Playing with the phone, Lin Yu showed a playful smile on his face. Putting aside the fact that the one-time price of this asset package is too expensive, this asset package is actually a very high-quality asset package.
No wonder those people would like it.
I must help them with this favor, and I must help them a lot.
I must help them buy the place they like and the right asset package. The more they buy, the better.
Putting the phone back, Lin Yu rubbed his temple calmly and said softly:
"It's a very good asset package. You will make money if you buy it. Your friends have good vision."
"The lakeside villa is most suitable for recuperation. I have to go there to get a house if I have the chance."
"I'll help you with this. I'll ask someone here. Please give me the name of the person in charge of Norman Bank in Huaxia District."
This simple sentence made Chen Yuan smile. She picked up the file bag in her hand and walked to the study. Not long after, she returned to Lin Yu with a bunch of business cards.
She handed over one of the business cards first, and then handed over the remaining business cards:
"This single business card is the business card of the person in charge of Norman Bank in Huaxia District."
"These ones are the friends I know."
"The full set of this asset package is priced at 650 million US dollars. They want to reduce it to about 630 million US dollars, and they want to extend the time for cash delivery to two months."
Grabbing the business card in her hand, Lin Yu looked at it inconspicuously.
The person in charge of Norman Bank in Huaxia is called Eric Marshall. In addition to his name, the picture also shows his company position and contact number.
Throwing this business card aside, Lin Yu studied the remaining business cards.
He knew nothing about the people on the business cards, but he had heard of some of their surnames, but not many.
Throwing these business cards aside, Li Yu picked up the business card of the person in charge of Norman Bank, raised his eyes, and winked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan understood, stood up, picked up her mobile phone, and directly exited the balcony, closing the balcony door.
The moment the heavy frosted glass door touched, the noisy sound in the living room immediately dissipated.
Sitting in a chair and rubbing the business card for a while, Lin Yu took out his mobile phone, found Lavat's number, and pressed it.
He was not surprised at all that the person in charge of Norman Bank would appear in Yanjing. After all, this is the capital of Huaxia. Compared with the Magic City, there are more opportunities and more people here.
In addition, Awad was also visiting Yanjing. As a person from the Saudi Development Fund, it was normal for this person to come to Yanjing to report on his work.
The phone rang for about 10 seconds, and was immediately answered. Then, Rawat's cheerful voice came:
"My dear Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have any instructions to call your dearest servant in your busy schedule?"
This awkward Arabic accent in Mandarin made Lin Yumeng come back to see Afanti.
Rubbing his eyebrows, he rolled his eyes and said to the person on the phone: "Can you be normal?"
The next second, a cold voice that could kill people came from the phone: "Speak!"
"Eric Marshall, head of the Huaxia region of Norman Bank, do you know him?"
This question took a full two minutes before a response came from the other end of the phone, and it was still a cold response.
"I know him. I interviewed him in person. What can I do for you?"
"Someone came to me and wanted me to help them. I wanted to act as a middleman and help them get together. They wanted to buy the asset package he had, but they needed to lower the price."
After explaining the purpose of his call, Lin Yu paused for a moment and continued without waiting for Rawat's response:
"The asset packages they have are pretty good. Where did they get them?"
"This is a bit inconsistent with the original intention!"
For a long time, there was still no sound on the other end of the phone. Just when Lin Yu thought the person on the other side was dead, Rawat switched from his cold voice to a soft one:
"My dear Mr. Lin, for such a small matter, you only need to ask your secretary to send me a message in the future."
"You don't need to call me directly, because such a trivial matter is not worth your nerves."
"As for the asset package, America is the land of dreams. There are many people who get rich every day, and there are also many people who go bankrupt every day. There are a lot of high-quality real estate."
"There are so many assets. We only need a small amount of capital to get a lot of assets, and we can sell them with a little packaging."
"I will contact Eric and ask him to agree to relevant cooperation."
"For specific information, you can just send it to my mobile phone directly."
"This kind of trivial matter is really not worthy of your attention. What people like you should do is sit at the dining table, chat and laugh with His Majesty the King, enjoy fish, or sit under the pleasant breeze and watch the sparkling waves. Fishing on the lake instead of just killing the fish.”
After saying that, the phone call was hung up.
Lin Yu picked up the phone, turned on the camera, took photos of several business cards in his hand, found Rawat in the chat software, and sent the photos.
I also sent these people's requests along the way.
After doing all this, he opened the balcony door and nodded to the members standing in the living room.
"It's done. The results will be available in about two hours."
After getting the answer, Chen Yuan turned to help in the kitchen, and within a few minutes, her phone rang.
After picking up the phone and listening to the content on the phone, a pair of watery eyes were filled with surprise.
She came to Lin Yu with the phone in hand and asked in a low voice:
"Who do you know? It's only been a few minutes since you made the call, right?"
"The few people I knew called me and said that Mr. Eric had agreed to their request and had lowered the delivery price of the entire asset package to US$600 million."
"Your phone call..."
"A full 50 million US dollars, more than 400 million, almost 500 million yuan. Is your phone so valuable?"
"We're all friends!" Lin Yu patted his butt calmly, walked to the mahjong table in the living room and sat down. Just as he was chatting with Chen Yuan, Lu Lin and his mother had climbed onto the mahjong table. Mother and daughter It's the opponent.
Zhou Yi tapped her fingers wildly on the mahjong table, hinting to Lu Lin to give her cards. Lu Lin sat opposite, her eyes widened, as if she was thinking about what cards she should play.
After watching for a while, Lin Yu realized that the group was playing Sichuan-Chongqing mahjong, so he grabbed the Yaoji in Lu Lin's tile and threw it out.
"Hit this!"
"Bang!"
