Yingxianqiao Antique Street was still crowded with people. Ling Yu walked down the street and soon arrived at the location of Lingxi Hall. He couldn't help but look at the Jianbaotang building that occupied a large area on the street on the right. It was already deserted at the moment. The gate

It has been closed tightly, with a closed sign hanging above it.

There was no seal, presumably because he was afraid that the news of the smuggling case would be leaked. Ling Yu even found that there were plainclothes policemen monitoring several positions at the entrance of the Appraisal Hall.

Correspondingly, Lingxi Hall was very popular, and there were so many customers coming in and out, which made Ling Yu sigh in his heart. Yang Mingyuan was doing it himself, but Zhao Shicheng got a big advantage. Taking this opportunity, Zhao Shicheng would definitely try his best to attract customers and improve the quality.

Popularity and vigorous development.

"Why is it so late? I thought she wasn't coming, so I was just about to make a call."

Walking to the door of Lingxi Hall, Ling Yu looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock. On the counter, Zhao Shicheng was talking to several old customers. When he saw Ling Yu coming in, he apologized and quickly pulled Ling Yu.

Entering the back hall, the surrounding customers were very surprised. Who was this young man? The shopkeeper of Lingxi Hall actually valued him so much. A waiter took the opportunity to tell Ling Yu's situation, which made everyone secretly marvel.

"Something happened on the way, and I almost couldn't make it." Ling Yu said as he walked. Recalling the situation at that time, he still feels a little bit like he is surviving a disaster. If he hadn't expanded the earth clone to Chengdu, today's car accident would probably have happened.

It is inevitable. It seems that I have to expand the earth clone quickly. If something happens outside the range of the earth clone, it will be really tragic.

"Xiaoyu, how are you thinking? Let's work together to take down the Jianbao Hall." Zhao Shicheng didn't notice the tone of Ling Yu's words and asked after sitting down.

"Yes, but in what form?" Ling Yu withdrew his mind, focused on the problem, nodded and asked.

"Haha, after my evaluation, the total assets of Jianbaotang should be between 230 million and 250 million. If it is auctioned, it may be a little cheaper, and it is estimated to be around 200 million. There is no problem with funds. The only thing

What needs to be considered is that there must be many competitors in the auction. According to my investigation, many people are already preparing to enter the antique industry. In the past, it was Lingxitang and Jianbaotang who jointly suppressed others in Chengdu.

What a foothold, but now my family alone does not have this strength. If we can auction it to Jianbao Hall, it will be enough to occupy most of the Chengdu antique market. As for the form of cooperation, I have a rough idea. You pay three thousand

Ten thousand funds, you hold 30% of the shares, and I will raise the remaining funds."

Zhao Shicheng was well prepared and talked eloquently, his tone was full of confidence, as if he believed that Ling Yu would definitely agree.

Thirty million occupies 30% of the shares, which is indeed bold. After all, Jianbao Tang will need at least 200 million to auction it, which only occupies 15%.

"Uncle, you seem to be at a disadvantage here. You talk about businessmen chasing profits, but are you willing to give up profits to me?"

Ling Yu was surprised, with a trace of curiosity on his face, but he understood that Zhao Shicheng was not that kind of generous person, otherwise he wouldn't have been so fussy during the last negotiation. This is also the nature of a businessman, every penny counts.

Fight, think about what conditions he has.

"Haha, uncle, am I such a stingy person? In fact, I am interested in your future. Now that your appraisal level is so good, you will definitely make further progress in the future. Now that you are famous, the Appraisal Hall will not

As you become famous, I also make profits, so your potential is worth so much!"

Zhao Shicheng laughed and said his thoughts directly without beating around the bush.

Ling Yu secretly sighed in his heart that Zhao Shicheng was really far-sighted and thought so far ahead. With his earth clone, as long as it expands bigger and bigger, the level of identification will naturally become higher and higher. It's only a matter of time. Regardless.

From any point of view, Zhao Shicheng is not at a loss. This is a long-term investment, and he can catch big fish in the long run. If Ling Yu lacks funds, he will definitely agree to this cooperation plan, but now he has tens of millions of dollars in Swiss banks.

It is worth more than 500 million yuan, so he wants to occupy more shares in Appraisal Hall.

"Uncle, you are at such a disadvantage. I feel uneasy, so I decided to invest 100 million yuan to occupy 50% of the shares of Jianbao Hall. What do you think?"

Ling Yu thought for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Shicheng looking at him with a smile on his face, showing that he was not afraid of your disapproval, he immediately smiled lightly and said.

Zhao Shicheng's smile suddenly froze, 100 million? He didn't expect Ling Yu to have so much capital. Even he could only scrape together 200 million. After all, his business was in fixed industries and he didn't have much liquidity.

But he soon felt relieved. It must have been the power behind Ling Yu who had such strong capital! Fifty percent of the shares was far beyond his expectation. His bottom line was 40%, and he had to occupy Jian

Baotang's dominant position, so as to prepare for subsequent plans.

"Xiaoyu, your requirements are too high. Let's do this. If you provide 50 million yuan, I will give you 40% of the shares. This is my bottom line." Zhao Shicheng frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about it.

He looked at Ling Yu and stated his bottom line.

Ling Yu heard the firmness in Zhao Shicheng's tone, and immediately understood that Zhao Shicheng's bottom line had been reached. However, this was a negotiation for cooperation, and there must be no relaxation. After all, it related to his own interests, and he had to show his determination when he should. He immediately bit

He gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Uncle, if you do this, I'll give you 50 million yuan for Jianbao Hall, 40% of the shares, but..."

When Zhao Shicheng heard Ling Yu's words, he immediately showed a victorious smile on his face, but when he heard the word 'but', his expression changed slightly, as if he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Ling Yu said the words after "but": "However, I also have to buy a stake in Lingxi Hall, the same 50 million, 30% of the shares, how about it?"

Zhao Shicheng's face was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Ling Yu would actually pay attention to his Lingxi Hall. This was his capital and no one could make any decisions. He immediately shook his head and said: "This is not possible. Lingxi Hall is the family property of my Zhao family.

, we will never let outsiders take shares.”

Ling Yu had long known that Zhao Shicheng would say this, but how could he give up? He smiled and said: "Uncle, your thinking is wrong. Since Appraisal Hall can cooperate, why can't Lingxi Hall? If Lingxi Hall wants to develop

, we must get rid of the family business. Think about it, if one day we open antique shops like Lingxitang Jianbaotang like chain stores all over the country, how successful it will be? How different is it like now?

Your Lingxi Hall can only dominate in Chengdu, but when it goes to other places, few people will know about it."

Zhao Shicheng was stunned by Ling Yu's ambition, and then shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Your idea is good, but when it comes to opening up all over the country, it is harder than reaching the sky. Now the antique shops all over the country are basically saturated.

When outsiders want to get involved, there is great resistance. Let’s just say that in the Yingxinqiao Antique Market, except for my Lingxi Hall and Jianbao Hall, there are no big antique shops. Most of them are small shops, and they can only be found in the two big stores.

It is basically impossible to survive in the cracks and want to grow. The same is true in other places. If you want to open a branch, it will probably be smashed before it opens."

Of course, Ling Yu knew how difficult it was. He probably had done this kind of thing before, so Zhao Shicheng was helpless when he saw Zhao Shicheng's attitude of not making enough money.

"Uncle, I don't care, either Jianbao Tang has 100 million and 50% of the shares, or Jianbao Tang has 50 million and 40% of the shares, Lingxi Tang has 50 million and 30% of the shares.

As for shares, that’s what I mean, if we can agree on it, we’ll talk about it, but if we can’t, we’ll stop talking about it.”

Ling Yu had no choice but to cheat. Of course, he said something in his heart: If cooperation fails, I will go to the auction auction hall by myself. I don't believe that I can't take the photo even if I have my earth clone in hand.

Zhao Shicheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and was slightly moved when he saw Ling Yu's determined attitude. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have made a difficult decision, and finally sighed and said: "Lingxi Hall's shares are impossible, but Jianbaotang's

I can give up the shares. If you offer 70 million, 49% of the shares, this is already my maximum limit. Even if you offer more funds, I will not back down."

Ling Yu glanced at Zhao Shicheng with a strange look. He didn't know why he was so obsessed with having more shares than himself? He asked immediately.

Zhao Shicheng was stunned for a moment and wondered why Ling Yu didn't even know such a simple truth. He shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. It's very simple. I must take the lead. I will never allow it in this Yingxianqiao antique market."

Outsiders intervened. In the past, when Yang Mingyuan was around, my Lingxi Hall and Jianbao Hall fought to the death, not because they wanted to dominate the antique market and kick the other party out."

Ling Yu suddenly understood that he still didn't understand the rules of the market. Dominance was the most important thing. Zhao Shicheng would let him become a shareholder. In the end, he only valued his potential in antique appraisal, not himself. If

If I want to enter the antique market, if I leave him alone, I'm afraid I will also be suppressed by him.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, Ling Yu only now understands this deeply.

Do you agree or not? Ling Yu secretly thought in his heart that 49% of the shares was definitely Zhao Shicheng's biggest concession. If he wanted to take over Lingxi Hall, it would definitely be impossible. If he went it alone, he might be able to succeed.

However, I have no business experience at all, let alone managing a large antique store. I probably don't have so much thought. Maybe I will have to fall out with Zhao Shicheng and fight to the death. This is really a bit too troublesome.

Moreover, Ling Yu also considered Sister Xiaoya. After all, he is Sister Xiaoya's uncle. If he fell out like this, it would be so embarrassing to meet him in the future!

Of course, Ling Yu is not afraid of Zhao Shicheng. With his earth clone in hand, no one needs to be afraid. Anyone who dares to offend him can be easily killed by a trap. The main reason is Ling Yu's current foundation.

Too bad, it is the most effective way to cooperate for a period of time and then find ways to develop after accumulating power, not to mention that Ling Yu's goal is not just Chengdu.

Zhao Shicheng was a little surprised when he saw the gloomy change in Ling Yu's face. He originally thought that Ling Yu needed to go back and think about it and ask the forces behind him before he could make a decision. But now it seems that it is not what he thought. Ling Yu seems to have

This power makes decisions. Does it mean that his position in this force is extremely high?

In fact, Zhao Shicheng was determined to gain control of the Treasure Appraisal Hall and resolutely refused Ling Yu's investment in the Lingxi Hall because he was afraid that the forces behind Ling Yu would take advantage of the situation. Although he cooperated now, there was still the possibility of attracting wolves into the house, but he believed that

He has taken the lead in Jianbao Hall, and he is still a local leader, so he is absolutely sure to occupy the dominant position in the cooperation.

After a long time, after careful consideration, Ling Yu finally made a decision. With an unwilling look on his face, he gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Shicheng, "Okay, I agree." There was a hint of determination in his tone.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Shicheng's eyes, then he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's sign a draft agreement first, and then sign a formal contract after the auction is completed at the Appraisal Hall. I will notify you of the auction time."

Ling Yu nodded. He understood that if he wanted to auction off the Treasure Appraisal Hall, it could not only be solved with money. After all, there were many forces that were eager to enter the antique market through the Treasure Appraisal Hall and carve up this rich cake, so Zhao Shicheng

He will definitely use various connections to move around. He has been able to occupy half of the antique market for so long, so he is naturally strong. Moreover, he has already talked about cooperation with Ling Yu, and he is very sure that he will be auctioned to Jianbao Hall.

If the official wants to auction the Treasure Appraisal Hall, there will definitely be many transactions behind the scenes, and then the auction objects will be decided unofficially. As for the public auction, it is probably just a one-off event.

After discussing the cooperation plan, the two signed a draft agreement, so that they would not be afraid of the other party going back on their word.

He didn't stay long in Lingxi Hall and bought some fruits. Ling Yu took a taxi to the special care ward of the inpatient department of the First People's Hospital and visited the girl Teng Qingyu who was still in a coma.

"Isn't she your girlfriend? Aren't you going to stay with her at night?" the beautiful special care nurse asked a little strangely when she heard that Ling Yu left again.

Ling Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Nurse, I'm not her boyfriend. It was just the time of the car accident. I saw her alone without any relatives around her, so I followed her."

The special care nurse's beautiful big eyes were shining, and she said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you are a very kind-hearted person. I don't even know her, but you actually helped her pay the treatment fee. I'll see if she wakes up, if you know

, maybe you will agree with me, but you have to seize the opportunity."

Ling Yu was ashamed, and when he saw the nurse still saying something, he immediately ran away. He only heard the nurse's pleasant laughter like wind chimes coming from behind.
