"Chen Mu, Brother Chen, if I can get to know you as a friend today, my trip to X City will be worthless!"
"Come on, let's have a drink, Brother Chen, you must come to our Xishan Province in the future, especially our Longcheng, I will treat you well, no matter what you want to play or eat, I will definitely prepare it for you .”
"Okay, then I would like to thank the two elder brothers here."
Halfway through the meal, Chen Mu had already hooked shoulders with Yao Bing and Qu Yun, as if they had known each other for many years.
Dong Jueming sat aside and watched, his eyes couldn't help revealing a hint of envy.
Before, he flattered and flattered these two local tyrants from Xishan Province in every possible way. They only regarded him as a little brother running errands, and never regarded him as a person in their hearts.
But now facing Chen Mu, even though he just met him, his attitude is extremely affectionate, the gap...he is not stupid, he can see it clearly.
He has been in the society for so many years, of course it can be seen that Chen Mu is a person with strong communication skills, no matter what he says or does, he makes people feel comfortable.
But what is more important is Chen Mu's reputation. Both Yao Bing and Qu Yun regard him as someone else, so seeing Chen Mu so "easy-going", Yao Bing and Qu Yun felt very honored, and the atmosphere came.
Dong Jueming felt a little bit jealous. Chen Mu was much younger than him, but he wanted to call him brother, like a younger brother, not to mention how inferior he was.
This made him secretly make up his mind that in the future he must be a leader, and he would never be as humble as he is today.
Chen Mu chatted enthusiastically with Yao Bing and Qu Yun, while Cao Yu didn't talk much at the side.
While toasting Cao Yu, Dong Jueming asked, "Brother Cao, what are you and Brother Chen doing at Hengmei Mansion today?"
Cao Yu thought for a while and said, "That is the property of a friend of mine. Chen Mu and I just went to have a look."
"oh?"
Dong Jueming's heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Cao, do you want to buy Hengmei Building?"
Cao Yu smiled and said, "Just take a look."
Dong Jueming felt a little bad. Although Cao Yu didn't reveal anything, it already made him feel a little bit of crisis.
Who is Cao Yu? He had asked someone before, so he knew very well.
Not to mention Chen Mu, he is a rich man in his eyes, and Yao Bing and Qu Yun, whom he worked so hard to hire from Xishan Province, are no match for Chen Mu.
If Cao Yu and Chen Mu were interested in Hengmei Building, then his affairs would be ruined.
You must know that he has long wanted to open a hotel in the city center of X, and when he heard that Hengmei Building was going to sell, he immediately moved his mind.
Because he didn't have enough funds, he made a special trip to Xishan Province and brought Yao Bing and Qu Yun over.
In fact, he knew quite a few local tyrants, but Yao Bing and Qu Yun, two local tyrants from Xishan Province, were better partners than local tyrants.
Dong Jueming wanted to use the financial resources of Yao Bing and Qu Yun to take down the Hengmei Building first.
After opening the hotel, he will gain a firm foothold, and will slowly accumulate funds, and then find a way to kick Yao Bing and Qu Yun out of the game.
But now that Cao Yu and Chen Mu suddenly appeared, things suddenly became troublesome.
"We have to find a way to get them out..."
Dong Jueming had a thought, first glanced at Cao Yu, then at Chen Mu who was chatting happily with Yao Bing and Qu Yun, and suddenly had an idea, and said to Cao Yu, "Brother Cao, I'm not going to hide it from you. Said, Brother Yao and San Shao came all the way from Xishan Province to our X City this time, in fact, it was for this Hengmei Building.
Today I took Brother Yao and Young Master San to visit the Hengmei Building, and I have already discussed to take it down. I am going to sign a contract with the owner of the Hengmei Building after dinner. "
"Oh, so that's the case."
Cao Yu had already made a prediction, and after listening to Dong Jueming's words, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come here for the Hengmei Building. You really bumped into each other."
"Brother Cao, I'm really sorry, we have already taken a fancy to the Hengmei Building."
Dong Jueming just wanted to explain the matter, so that Cao Yu would retreat. After all, friends pay attention to first-come-first-serve, and this kind of open-faced competition is only done by your life-and-death enemies in the mall.
Cao Yu shook his head: "Brother Dong, I'm sorry...it should be us."
Dong Jueming frowned slightly: "Brother Cao, what do you mean?"
Cao Yu said: "Actually, today I am just an accompanying guest, and Chen Mu is the serious buyer. He and my friend have already settled the matter. We came here just to have a look."
"How can it be?"
When Dong Jueming heard the words, he suddenly felt his heart blocked, a little unbelievable.
"You do not believe?"
Cao Yu smiled and said, "You can call the seller to confirm, we have really made a deal."
Dong Jueming thought for a while and said, "Well, brother Cao, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is a bit... um, it's a bit too much, which made Brother Yao and the third young master both go for nothing. Really gotta call to make sure."
"It's okay, just go and call!"
Cao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile.
He really doesn't care, the seller of Hengmei Building is his good friend and has known him for many years.
This time he helped find a buyer, and it was a "high-quality" and "bold" buyer like Chen Mu. His friend didn't know how happy he was.
They had already settled the matter before, as long as they went to the bank in the afternoon, they would basically be fine.
This matter has been settled, and Cao Yu is not afraid that others will turn it over.
the other side.
Dong Jueming hurried out of the box, found a quiet place outside the restaurant, and dialed the phone.
"Hello?"
After a while, the phone was connected, and a man's lazy voice came.
"Brother Zhang, it's me, Dong Jueming."
"Oh, it's you, what do you need from me?"
"That's it, Brother Zhang, I want to talk to you about something. Today, I went to your Hengmei Building with two partners to see it in person. I think it's good and I want to take over. When do you think we will meet in the past?"
Dong Jueming was careful, he didn't ask about Cao Yu, and directly said that he wanted to buy Hengmei Building: "Brother Zhang, we are very sincere, and we can sign the contract immediately."
After hearing this, the man on the other end of the phone said, "That's it... Oh, I'm sorry, Jueming, the Hengmei Building has already been sold. I'm sorry for your late arrival."
"Sold out?"
Dong Jueming's heart sank, he was basically sure that Cao Yu hadn't lied to him before: "When did it happen? Brother Zhang, didn't you always rush to sell but couldn't find someone else? In less than two days, it has already been sold?"
"Yes, a close friend of mine introduced me to someone not long ago."
The man on the phone said with a smile: "Jueming, thank you very much, but the matter of Hengmei has really been settled... so, next time I invite you to dinner, it will be regarded as an apology."
Dong Jueming didn't give up, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Zhang, this matter has become like this... It's hard for me to do it. My partners all came all the way from Xishan Province, and now suddenly... Oh, Zhang Brother, how about we add 10 million to you?"
"No, no, Jueming, it's not about the money, the main thing is that it's really settled..."
"Add 20 million!"
"Jueming, don't talk about it, you are all people in the business field, you have to talk about some credit, I have already promised them, I will not give you whatever you pay... I am so sorry, Jueming."
"..."
Dong Jueming really felt a little helpless.
A price increase of 20 million is already the biggest bottom line he can do.
After all, the funds in his hands were really stretched, so it didn't matter if he said it alone, Yao Bing and Qu Yun had to agree to it.
Both Yao Bing and Qu Yun were rich old men from Xishan. They had said before that they wanted him to negotiate the price, but now not only could they not negotiate, they even wanted to increase the price. Dong Jueming really couldn't explain it later.
Therefore, this matter looks really yellow.
The man on the other end of the phone saw that Dong Jueming hadn't said a word, so he could only comfort him again, he said a lot of apologies, and finally hung up the phone.
Dong Jueming stood there with a gloomy face, not to mention how aggrieved he was.
It is rare to encounter such a good opportunity, and he still wants to seize it tightly. All the plans have been thought out in his heart, and they are just waiting to be implemented.
He had traveled all the way to Xishan Province before, invited Yao Bing and Qu Yun over, and fawned on them for so long like a grandson, all because of the plan in his heart.
But what he didn't expect was that after tossing about this matter for so long, in the end, it turned out to be such a result, which made him feel that everything before was for nothing, like a joke.
Absolutely can't just leave it at that...
There must be a way...
Dong Jueming thought quietly for a while, finally pursed his lips, and walked back to the box.
When entering the door—
A smile was already on Dong Jueming's face, as if the person with the gloomy face outside the door was not him.
He returned to his place, and said to Cao Yu in a relaxed tone: "Brother Cao, I have already called and asked, and the matter of the Hengmei Building has been settled."
Cao Yu glanced at Dong Jueming and nodded: "This matter is so big, I won't talk nonsense."
Dong Jueming deliberately showed a hint of disappointment, and sighed softly: "It's a pity, I still want to take it down and open a hotel, it seems that there is no hope."
Cao Yu smiled slightly: "It's okay, brother Dong, I will help you pay attention in the future, and if you encounter such a thing again, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Cao!"
Dong Jueming raised his glass and walked away with Cao Yu, then poured another glass and went to congratulate Chen Mu.
Chen Mu had been chatting with Yao Bing and Qu Yun before, but he hadn't heard the conversation between Dong Jueming and Cao Yu, so he didn't know what he was congratulating.
When Dong Jueming explained the matter clearly, not only Chen Mu knew what Dong Jueming was talking about, but also Yao Bing and Qu Yun understood.
"It turns out that Brother Yao and the third young master are also here for the Hengmei Building
I really didn't know this before. Our company has been mainly renting other people's properties, so we thought about buying them when we happened to meet them.
If I had known you wanted it earlier, I would have given it to you..."
Chen Mu can speak very well. Now that the matter has been settled, he took advantage of others, so of course he has to say something nice.
He repeatedly promised to treat the two new friends to dinner, invite them to visit his forest farm, and treat them to a big meal at Master Li's club... Anyway, he promised a lot of benefits without money.
Yao Bing and Qu Yun heard that the Hengmei Building was lost, and although they were a little disappointed, they were not as enthusiastic about the Hengmei Building as Dong Jueming after all, and it didn't have much impact on their emotions.
Moreover, Chen Mu really didn't know that they also wanted to sell Hengmei Building, but they just happened to sell it one step ahead of them, which even made them feel a little "unjustified" even when they were angry.
Therefore, the two of them quickly adjusted their mentality, pretended to be angry, and then happily accepted Chen Mu's "apology".
"Brother Chen, you didn't do it on purpose. In business, first come, first served. If we don't even understand this, then all these years will be in vain."
"That's right, City X is your base camp after all. Speaking of which, San Shao and I are considered outsiders. Even if we came first and knew what you wanted, we can't grab food from your bowl, right?"
Yao Bing and Qu Yun's words were very grand, showing a very cosmopolitan look, and it was completely impossible to see that they cared about the affairs of Hengmei Building.
Dong Jueming next to him smiled slightly, but didn't say a word, and he also didn't care.
But when he heard Yao Bing and Qu Yun's words, his stomach was already full of complaints.
What kind of bullshit is this
What does it mean that city x is Chen Mu's base camp? Isn't he from City X
Speaking of which, Muya Forestry is in Bahe Town, and Chambord Hotel has always been in X City, so he is the real person from X City.
Now that the Hengmei Mansion's affairs are getting worse, these two wealthy natives of Xishan didn't say anything serious, they only cared about pleasing Chen Mu, they were really idiots.
Faced with the consolation of the two new friends, Chen Mu quickly expressed his gratitude to them for their understanding. He kept stretching his thumbs and shouted words like "justice" and "brother understands me". just got better.
After chatting for a while, Dong Jueming saw the right moment and said, "Since the matter of the Hengmei Building is over, we have nothing else to do in the afternoon. Why don't you all go to my place to have fun, take a bath, sauna, drink and eat together, little brother?" I've made all the arrangements, how are you?"
"This proposal is good!"
"That's right, it's rare to hit it off with brother Chen, we have a lot of friends."
When Yao Bing and Qu Yun heard this, they immediately applauded and invited Chen Mu together.
Chen Mu thought for a while and said, "Brother Cao and I have something to do this afternoon, we have to deal with it."
"Is that so..."
Yao Bing and Qu Yun looked at Chen Mu expectantly, but when they heard Chen Mu's words, they were a little bit disappointed, and their faces looked a little bit down.
Chen Mu took a look at Cao Yu. In fact, he mainly heard from Cao Yu that Dong Jueming's Chambord Hotel was not very serious, so he didn't want to go.
Cao Yu pondered for a while, and said, "How about this, Lao Yao and Third Young Master, I'll make arrangements tonight, and when Chen Mu and I finish our business, how about we get together again?"
Yao Bing and Qu Yun immediately became happy again when they heard the words, and they said yes again and again.
Among all the people, only Dong Jueming was smiling, but his eyes looked a little cold.
