Lei Fang thought that Wen Liang might give him a little more. After all, he had worked hard even though he had no credit. But he never thought that he would get more than 10 million more.
What does 10 million mean? He was a pimp in the city, begging for favors, and it was good to have a net income of 2 to 3 million a year. More than 10 million was equivalent to him working five years less!
Lei Fang was extremely itchy, but he still subconsciously looked at Ning Xi. If this young lady didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to take more even if he had ten times the courage.
Ning Xi smiled and said, "Take it. It's considered a dividend. You deserve it!"
Lei Fang knew, of course, that this was polite talk. In business, the rights and obligations were clearly written down in black and white. It was how much was due, and there was no reason for him to distribute more than 10 million yuan in dividends. However, money has always been attractive to people, and he has never been a saint. He laughed, patted Wen Liang on the shoulder, and said, "Since Brother Wen is so generous, I will be disrespectful to refuse it and feel ashamed to accept it!"
After the money was divided, everyone was happy. Baidu went into the kitchen to cook some refreshing side dishes. Zhu Zixuan, who had just woken up from a nap, also got up to join in the fun. The five of them drank wine and chatted, spending the first sleepless night since arriving in Beijing.
At three or four in the morning, everyone went to sleep. Zhu Zixuan insisted on pestering Ning Xi, so the two of them stayed in the same room. Lei Fang didn't know what urgent matter he had, so he answered a phone call and went out. Wen Liang looked at the watch and was too lazy to go back to his room. With his current physical condition, not sleeping for a night would have almost no effect. He sat in the living room and took a piece of paper and pen. From top to bottom, he slowly drew four lines, and then drew a horizontal line at different nodes on each line. There were numbers behind the horizontal line, ranging from 00,000 to 0000.
At six o'clock, Wen Liang stood up and stretched, then went to the courtyard to practice boxing. When he was thinking about whether to leave first, Ning Xi opened the door and walked out.
"Why don't you sleep? Girls will age faster if they don't get enough sleep..."
Ning Xi walked up to him and said, "I know you always get up at six o'clock. You can't sleep anyway, so why don't we talk? There were so many people here last night and we didn't have time to talk about many things."
Wen Liang made an inviting gesture and said, "Would you like to walk together?"
"Um!"
The two walked side by side along the corridor, and Ning Xi suddenly said, "You know, with me here, Lei Fang won't dare to make any unusual moves, so there's no need to bother trying to win him over..."
"It's only 10 million, not worth the trouble..."
Ning Xi shook her head and said, "It's not about money. When dealing with people like Lei Fang, sometimes you can't use the same methods as ordinary people. Giving an extra 10 million to an ordinary person might make him grateful and loyal to you forever. But for Lei Fang, if you give him 80 million and 100 million out of the 470 million profit, he won't appreciate it. He might even think you're weak and have other ideas... You know more about power politics than me, and you're more experienced than me. You have to know that without enough authority, giving favors randomly becomes the most dangerous move..."
"I understand. If you weren't here, and I was the only one cooperating with Lei Fang, even if his principal only accounted for 18%, the final profit distribution would still have to be 50-50. Or, if you're even more ruthless, it would be good enough if 40% was left for me." The law of the jungle is the most basic law of this society. If Wen Liang hadn't dared to make 500 million at a time without Ning Xi's protection, Lei Fang would have dared to open his mouth and swallow him up without leaving anything behind.
Wen Liang shrugged and said with a smile, "But then again, if you weren't here, I wouldn't have asked him to join. It's not impossible to do something that would take advantage of a tiger, but at least you have to wait until you have the ability to protect yourself. You know, I'm a little confident, but I'm never arrogant. Don't worry, it doesn't matter if Lei Fang appreciates the extra 10 million or not. Anyway, the money will be back in my hands in a few days."
Ning Xi had been concentrating on being the banker recently, so she had no idea what he was planning. She frowned slightly and said, "You want..."
Wen Liang observed her expression and immediately knew that she was thinking wrongly. He laughed and said, "What are you thinking? Even if I have the courage, I don't have the means to discipline the people in your circle. I just saw a new project and wanted to ask Lei Fang to continue to participate. Anyway, he doesn't have any urgent need for his money, so it's better to let the money make money, which is always more cost-effective than putting it in the bank!"
Ning Xi suddenly realized, and said: "So you had already set a trap for him..."
"It's not a big deal. He won't let me down, and I won't let him down. If nothing unexpected happens, the rate of return will be astonishingly high." Wen Liang motioned Ning Xi to sit down at the railing beside the corridor, and gave Ning Xi a detailed introduction to the information about melatonin he got from Miao Qingyan. He said, "Miao Qingyan has been helping me collect relevant information for some time. We can study it once we get the information, and then find time to meet with her mentor. In my personal opinion, this business can be done. If it's done well, we can make this amount within a year!"
He held up five fingers, and Ning Xi asked in surprise, "Five billion?"
Wen Liang nodded affirmatively and said, "This market is bigger than anyone can imagine. As long as you have good products and a good team, with a full range of advertising campaigns and a nationwide marketing network, it will be easy to gain a foothold and grow!"
Although Ning Xi didn't know much about the health care product market, she knew that starting from 1990, the Sun God, which was at its peak, and the Flying Dragon, which soared into the sky, took turns to appear on the stage, each leading the trend for a year or two. Then came the strong rise of Sanshu. Wu Jiaxin and his son started with 100,000 yuan, and in just one year in 1996, they achieved sales of 100 million yuan. This market was indeed as vast and broad as Wen Liang said!
But at the same time, the industry's unbridled advertising and bizarre marketing models also made this feast of gluttony slowly move towards unpredictability amidst the embellishment of prosperity. Ning Xi pondered and said, "This year, health products may need to be rectified..."
Naturally, she was more informed than Wen Liang. Although she had never paid attention to this field, she could remember something by associating and recalling a sentence that occasionally passed by her ears on some occasion.
The health care product market was indeed being rectified. While Ning Xi's eyes were still on the stock market, on the 15th of the month, the Ministry of Health had already issued the "Health Care Food Management Measures", which made certain rectifications and restrictions on the current chaos in the health care product market.
"It is precisely because of the reorganization that it is the best time for you and me to enter!" Wen Liang's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said, "Otherwise, it will be a red ocean like in the past few years. Even if you enter, it will be difficult to fight your way out. After all, this is not our main battlefield. It will involve too much energy, which will not be worth the loss in the long run."
This was also Ning Xi's doubt. The health care product market was certainly good, but other industries, such as the chain restaurants and water beverage markets that were moving towards formalization, might not be worse than it. Why should we wade into the muddy waters of fierce competition
Wen Liang smiled and didn't continue to explain. He asked directly: "Do it together?"
If it was Ning Xi who had just returned to China, the effort she would have to put in to convince her would have made Wen Liang prematurely age by thirty years, but today, just such a simple sentence was enough!
Ning Xi smiled brightly and said, "Okay!"
Wen Liang resisted the urge to hold her in his arms. Ning Xi winked playfully and said, "But you seem to have forgotten one thing..."
"What?"
"Lei Fang's money has been divided, but we haven't yet..."
Wen Liang said jokingly, "What's mine is not yours yet. Talking about money will hurt feelings. But since you are so sincere, I can't refuse you!"
To the two of them, love is love, work is work, and keeping accounts clear is a matter of course, and it will not affect each other. Ning Xi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Virtue!"
According to the agreement beforehand, the two of them would of course split the money 50-50, but Ning Xi only took 100 million of the remaining 700 million, and gave 100 million to Wen Liang. Wen Liang refused to give it, saying, "This time, you contributed almost all the money, and it's not in accordance with the rules for me to take 50%. If you give more, I will regard it as a kind of charity... Ning Xi, you should know that this is a great insult to a man..."
Ning Xi was not moved at all, and smiled: "You can raise 100 million or 200 million yuan without going through me, but if it weren't for you, there would be no profit of nearly 500 million yuan from this banker, so the first point is not true, you didn't take advantage of me; and the second point, I don't think someone as shameless as you still has any self-esteem, so just take whatever you are given. It's such a small amount of money, don't push it back and forth and make people laugh at it."
Wen Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I'm not kidding you, 185 million per person. If you really want to divide it more, follow Lei Fang's example and round it up. I'll get about 200 million!"
Ning Xi saw that Wen Liang was serious, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay... Actually, if you calculate it this way, I will get more than 170 million... 80 million in interest, at most 50 million to pay back, and the extra 30 million plus, it's exactly 200 million, ha!"
Wen Liang frowned and said, "If you borrow, you must pay it back. It won't be difficult to borrow again. Since we agreed to calculate the monthly interest based on the market price, we don't need this little money, so let's not make things complicated!"
Ning Xi said calmly, "It won't be difficult to borrow again next time. I don't mind if I can't give you the full 80 million this time, but some people are afraid of getting burned."
Wen Liang finally understood that no matter how Ning Xi raised the funds, given her status, the other party might not have the courage to accept the full amount at the market price. If Ning Xi insisted on paying the full amount of 80 million, it might make the other party suspicious and unable to sleep or eat.
This is the magic of power, and it is also the deformed human heart that is bound to exist in a society that values officialdom. Wen Liang smiled and said, "Yes, 30 million to buy a peaceful life. If it were me, I would have to do this!"
(Thanks to Wen Liang for the 20,000 reward, thanks to Yin En for the 10,000 reward, thanks to Jiu Ding for the 50,000 reward, promoted to Grandmaster)
