Chapter 1306: Are You Sure You Don’t Want an Investment?

“I don’t know yet, but I’m guessing I won’t be able to participate. At his value, the smallest project will cost hundreds of millions.”

“Old Sun, your brother is my brother. Why don’t I arrange this meal today? What do you think?”

“Huh? You’ll arrange it? You don’t even know my boss. What’s the point of that?”

“Our company’s development prospects are quite good now, but if we want to expand, we have to raise funds. Can we take this opportunity to hook up with your boss and get him to invest some money?”

“Stop, stop, stop. Don’t talk about this.” Sun Jian said.

“If we really do that, wouldn’t it be equivalent to asking my boss for money?”

“You can’t say that. These are two separate matters.” Li Qingyuan said.

“When the time comes, I’ll pass him a proposal. If he thinks it’s okay, he’ll invest. If it’s not, forget it. You’ll just act as a matchmaker. The rest will be handled professionally.”

Sun Jian thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

Although the company was not big, its development prospects were indeed good. If Boss invested, it might really be profitable for him.

“I can pull strings, but 1 won’t put in a good word for us.”

“Don’t worry about that. We’ll use our strength to speak. We won’t do anything sneaky,” Li Qingyuan patted his chest and promised.

“Let’s settle this first, but don’t join this initial meal. If you do it’ll just seem like you want his money.”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll listen to Brother Jian.”

Ring ring ring!

Just as the three of them were talking, Sun Jian’s phone rang.

“Boss, are you here yet?”

“I’m at your office. Come down quickly.”

“Alright, 1’11 go down now.”

Sun Jian put out the cigarette in his hand and said to Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming,

“I’ll talk to you guys later. I won’t be coming back in the afternoon.”

“Wait for us. Let’s go down and see this big shot in all his glory.”

“F*ck, you guys are practically lackeys.”

The three of them went downstairs together and saw Lin Yi’s car at the entrance of the company.

At the same time, Lin Yi got out of the car.

Seeing Lin Yi, Sun Jian went up to him happily.

However, Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming began to mutter.

“What’s going on? Such a rich person is only driving a Lexus 570?” Li Qingyuan said.

“It’s indeed a little strange. Logically speaking, at his level, it should be a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. Moreover, he has no driver. Based on first impressions, it seems like he’s even inferior to your father.” Liu Guangming said.

“Do you think Old Sun was just bragging?”

“Didn’t he say that one of his classmates saw it with his own eyes? It can’t be fake, right?” Li Qingyuan said suspiciously.

“But looking at his posture, he doesn’t look like someone who lives in a villa worth more than a billion yuan.”

“Indeed. That car of yours is worth more than a million dollars. It’s not any cheaper than his Lexus.”

“Alright, let’s not discuss this for now. Let’s go take a look.”

The two of them quickened their pace and caught up with Sun Jian.

“Boss, let me introduce you.” Sun Jian said.

“This is our company’s boss, Li Qingyuan. This is another one of my colleagues, Liu Guangming.”

“Hello.”

Lin Yi reached out and shook hands with the two of them to show his friendliness.

“Boss, it’s not easy for you to come here. Stay here for a few more days this time. I’ll bring you around.”

“I’ll be really staying here this time. I don’t think I’ll be able to return for a while.”

“How big is the project? Why all this trouble?”

“I’m not here to handle any projects. I’m here for poverty alleviation.”

“Huh? Poverty alleviation?”

The three of them were stunned, not understanding what Lin Yi meant.

“In Yuhang City is Dongsan County. I’m the director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation there, so I’ll be in Yuhang City for the time being.”

“Huh? Director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation?”

“Boss, aren’t you a businessman? Why did you join politics?”

“How can doing business be as interesting as this? If we succeed, our names will be forever recorded in history.”

Sun Jian smacked his lips and felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that Boss had lost money doing business?

Otherwise, why would he come here to help the poor instead of being a business magnate?

Li Qingyuan and Liu Guangming had the same thought.

If his business is doing well, with his wealth, he wouldn’t be driving a car worth just over a million yuan. Moreover, he didn’t even have a driver. That was too frugal.

“Boss, you’re the best. After doing business, you even came to help the poor. I’ll never submit to anyone in my life. I’ll only submit to you.”

“I’m just messing around. I have nothing else to do. You’re not bad yourself. You’re already a partner of the company. Do you need an investment? I’ll invest some for you.”

“That’s so embarrassing. It’s as if I’m asking you for money.” Sun Jian said embarrassedly.

“However, our company’s development prospects are indeed quite good. When the time comes, I’ll get the two of them to write a proposal. Take a look and invest if you think it’s suitable.”

“Old Sun, forget it.” Li Qingyuan said.

“We’re not outsiders. We’ll just find someone else to invest in us.”

“Huh? That’s not what the two of you said just now. You even said that you wanted me to be the middleman. Why are you changing your mind now?”

“The situation has changed. If your boss is still the same as before, I definitely wouldn’t be so polite. However, now that his identity has changed, there’s no need for him to take risks with me. It won’t be good if he loses again.”

Sun Jian,”???”

“What do you mean?”

Li Qingyuan pulled Sun Jian aside and whispered,

“Why are you so slow? Can’t you tell what’s going on with your boss?”

“Isn’t the situation quite good? What’s wrong?”

“From what you said just now, if your boss really lives in a villa worth more than a billion yuan and has a dock, why would he drive a car worth only a million yuan? Moreover, he doesn’t even have a driver. Don’t you think it’s a little shabby?” Li Qingyuan said.

“That’s right. Besides, you just said that your boss has luxury cars like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, but he didn’t drive them this time. Perhaps there’s a problem with the company’s operations and he sold the car to pay off his debt. If we ask him for money and investments now, it won’t be right.” Liu Guangming said.

“Moreover, look at him now. He’s already left to be the director of the poverty alleviation office. This means that he wants stability and doesn’t want to take risks. If the company doesn’t develop in the future, won’t his money be wasted? You guys are so close. I’m too embarrassed to take an investment from him.”

Sun Jian did not say anything. He felt that what the two of them said made sense.

Although a car worth more than a million yuan was not cheap, it was indeed not compatible with Boss’ supposed net worth. Perhaps there really was a problem with his business.

In that case, he really couldn’t let Boss invest so freely.

“You guys are right.”

After replying, Sun Jian returned to Lin Yi. “Boss, there’s no need to invest.

Let’s go eat first. That new barbeque shop is especially delicious.”

“Uh, are you sure you don’t need it? Logically speaking, with your company’s

current scale, it’s the time to external investors to come in..”
