Chapter 1428 - 924: Intentions (Extra for Eosher Mansion Alliance Leader)_2
However, today it didn’t work.
No choice, Zheng Linfeng had to be open and honest. The two men found a secluded spot, sat down, and had a drink.
"Jiang Nian, what do you think about the future of Banyu?"
"Grow bigger and stronger."
"Alright, I agree with your perspective," Zheng Linfeng said, "but mindless expansion also has its risks."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian looked at him in surprise.
"What does President Zheng mean?"
"Nothing much, the company doesn’t have much faith in your development," Zheng Linfeng said, taking out a cigarette and handing it to Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian took it and silently lit it.
"Really?"
He acted like a literary youth, brooding for a while. Suddenly, he stood up, raising his voice.
"President Zheng!"
"People always need ideals, even if some things are not favored, someone has to do them, right?"
Zheng Linfeng showed no reaction, "Of course, but my suggestion is to find a buyer to take over at a high price."
"A new round of expansion is tantamount to burning money. No matter how you finance it, the hope of breaking even is infinitely close to zero."
Jiang Nian was silent for a while, as if drained of all strength. The cigarette held between his fingers burned quietly.
After a while, he sighed.
"President Zheng."
"Hmm?"
"You just mentioned a high price, right?"
....
Back at the company, Jiang Nian was in high spirits. Finally, he saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Good day, today is a good day~~"
He was humming a song when his office door was suddenly knocked on, and Fan Yixuan cautiously entered.
"Hmm?"
"Haven’t you finished work yet?"
"Our department is working overtime, I can only leave now." Fan Yixuan smiled, then curiously asked.
"Boss, how was the dinner?"
"Smooth."
"Why did the people from Purple City come to us?" Fan Yixuan was a bit uneasy since they were major investors.
"What else could it be?"
Jiang Nian glanced at Mrs. Fan, "Just picking faults. Spending too much money; the company is about to need financing."
"Series B?"
"Yeah, they don’t really want to invest." Jiang Nian coughed, "Between the lines, they’re worried about not breaking even."
"Short-sighted!!" Fan Yixuan shared the sentiment, she truly believed this, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
The company is thriving, why worry about not breaking even?
"Sigh!"
"Isn’t that right?" Jiang Nian gave a look, thinking this is a bit tricky, damn it.
I’m planning to retreat, but the soldiers under my command would rather die than surrender.
But it makes sense, Banyu is generous with money. Those capable rise, those unfit fall, even janitors can make money.
Who wouldn’t like to work here?
"Boss, we can get people to invest!" Fan Yixuan said, "If worse comes to worst, we can invest ourselves!"
"Stop!"
"Do you want to get me caught?" Jiang Nian waved her off, "Finish up, don’t bother me."
After Mrs. Fan left.
Jiang Nian leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. The current Banyu is like an abstract Hammer world.
A loyal court to the emperor, are there no ministers?
But!!
Only he knew, Banyu’s glory is all built by him and needs continuous support.
Like an emperor sitting on the golden throne.
Once he leaves...
Boom!!
Making money is for living; the reverse is not good. Secondly, what President Zheng said isn’t without reason.
The ceiling for Banyu is set, growing bigger will surely lead to losses.
Then maintain?
Hmm, still not optimistic. As if competitors don’t exist, they attack your finances and inventory directly.
In short, it outweighs the benefits.
Jiang Nian wasn’t really prepared to let loose his ideals in the clothing industry and become famous in one go.
Isn’t playing with clean investments more enjoyable?
Wonderful life!!
"No, the thought alone is drool-worthy." Jiang Nian sighed, "I should’ve tricked Yu Zhiyi over."
Got a bit hot-headed.
The next day.
Jiang Nian left Yuhang, flying to Beijing. Preparing for exam week and the upcoming summer vacation.
Sell, definitely need to sell.
But it can’t be done in a hurry, it still has its uses now. Preparing to train the personnel structure first.
To cultivate his own Pokemon.
Soy Milk, Fangfang.
"Damn, Li Hua is really unreliable." Jiang Nian cursed again, this guy’s really stuck.
Though he cursed, he didn’t really mind.
This is a good thing.
After all, a lifetime with one person is much better than himself. As for him, he doesn’t know how many he’s involved with.
Landed, in Beijing.
Jiang Nian took a taxi straight to the school, buying some snacks on the way. Along with a bit of beer, he burst into the dormitory.
"What are you reading?? Time to party!"
"What the heck?"
"Malt juice! Good stuff."
"Brother Nian is back."
"President Jiang did big things, even the snacks are bought in large bags."
A few roommates rushed towards Jiang Nian. Even Yang Jingfan put down his book and joined the crowd.
Whether patting shoulders or smiling.
Human beings are not plants, living harmoniously together for two years. Attending classes together every day, they’ve all formed deep bonds.
Brother Bao Song even stopped his game, yelling like a monkey. Rushed for that bag of snacks and grabbed the malt juice.
"Da Chao, you freaking slob!"
After some greetings, they sat down to eat while chatting, discussing the changes in the school these past few days.
"The seniors graduated, next year will bring new freshmen."
"Chao, you better hurry up."
"Hurry for what." Da Chao squatted on the chair, "Third-year relationships either end in breakups or being cheated on."
"I’ve figured it out, go home for blind dates."
"Brother Nian, are you working on business again this summer?"
"Yeah, nothing major," Jiang Nian said, "But lots of little things, basically can’t leave."
After saying this, he felt he shouldn’t say it like that. It might create a gap in status, so he added another sentence.
"But, it’s mainly because of the girls."
"Not much to do in Beijing, dating in Yuhang is more convenient, more variety too."
"Damn!!"
"I knew it, you’re such a beast!"
"Dad, teach me a few tricks!" Da Chao admitted defeat, every time he heard Jiang Nian’s romantic stories, his heart ached.
"Are there a lot of beauties in Yuhang?" Fanzi suddenly asked.
"Yes, especially when the weather’s hot." Jiang Nian’s mouth curved up, "Tank tops, low-cut dresses everywhere."
"Damn!!" The three of them gasped.
Da Chao giggled, "If I studied in Yuhang, with a luxury car every day to pick up girls."
"Where’s your luxury car?"
"My second uncle has one, just won’t lend it to me."
"That’s nonsense."
.....
Exam weeks are long and very exhausting.
Jiang Nian prepared for exams while occasionally visiting the studio. The two girls were also busy preparing for exams but found time to meet once.
This balance between work and rest cannot be neglected.
Unconsciously, the three of them have become a fixed combination. Basically, once a week, a passionate combo move.
Except for certain weeks, but the girls’ periods were almost back-to-back.
Actually, regarding the relationship between the three, Jiang Nian wasn’t surprised. Long ago, he anticipated this day would come.
Boss Xu cherishes true feelings, not just Jiang Nian’s feelings. Xiao Song is quiet but has strong opinions.
Towards Xu Qianqian, the same sincerity.
If Jiang Nian hadn’t accurately timed it, Song Xiyun likely would’ve fled the summer after high school exams.
The legendary escape king isn’t just talk.
"How’s the studying coming along?"
"Don’t talk."
"Okay." Xu Qianqian pouted, rolled her eyes, but soon couldn’t find words, only syllables.
"Wait a minute."
Youth can’t wait, energy without an outlet.
In the blink of an eye, exam week ended.
Jiang Nian just stepped out of the exam hall, whistled, and looked at the blue sky outside the hallway, feeling particularly cheerful.
No failed courses, hee-hee.
Second year finished, the easy days are here.
He scheduled lunch with Xu Shuang, this didn’t require hiding. They chatted away, discussing the progress of the investment company.
"On my side, it’s almost done, how about yours?"
"Still the same."
Jiang Nian wiped his mouth, "Purple City already approached me, want to know if I’m considering selling the company."
"Did you agree?"
"Nope."
"Waiting for them to talk about a high price."
Xu Shuang: "....As expected of you."
