Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 363 Invisible Profit
It can be said that Lin Daoqiu was greatly surprised that among the few rich men who came to A Dong to cooperate, there were people from the Bao family.

You must know that Baojia's real estate and shipping businesses in Xiangjiang are doing very well at this time, with assets of at least tens of billions. How could they be interested in such a small business as Pedestrian Street.

"In the past year and a half, has the Pedestrian Street made a lot of money?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the pedestrian street at all, and usually just sent people to check the accounts.

A Dong didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to ask such a question. He thought that the other party should know the accounts of the pedestrian street like the palm of his hand.

"After one and a half years, the net income we got after deducting various expenses is 8000 million, and every month's turnover is 3000 million."

After Anan finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu was taken aback. He didn't expect this pedestrian street to be so profitable.

But even so, it will not attract the attention of those rich people, after all, they should not lack these tens of millions of income.

It's okay if it's just one person, but it's hard not to make Lin Daoqiu feel strange that five rich people came all at once.

It's not good for them to do something with this little time, why would they focus on a small business like Pedestrian Street?

If it was someone else, he would be very happy to get their capital injection, but Lin Daoqiu didn't think so, he felt that there must be something strange in it.

Since it can attract the attention of these rich people, it is definitely not just the profit that can be obtained from the pedestrian street alone, there must be places that I have not yet seen.

Suddenly Lin Daoqiu thought of one thing in common among those rich men, that is, they all invest in real estate business.

"Send someone to look up the sales of real estate within a radius of one kilometer. What I want is the changes before and after the pedestrian street. If you can't find it, ask the real estate agent."

Although Anan didn't know why Lin Daoqiu asked him to check these things, he didn't think too much, and immediately took people out to investigate what Lin Daoqiu wanted to know.

Originally, Adong was still immersed in the business of expanding the pedestrian street, but after listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, he also realized that things seemed a little different from what he thought.

"Mr. Lin is saying that these people don't really want to cooperate with us, but just want to use us to help them make money?"

Adong is not a fool, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in Heyi's court. At this time, he also heard a different taste from Lin Daoqiu's words.

But Lin Daoqiu is actually not 100% sure, just because this matter is too strange, so he has to guard against it.

"What conditions did they give you?"

Now Lin Daoqiu can only find some clues from the conversation between the other party and A Dong, to see what kind of intentions these people have.

"They said they were willing to contribute money to help us expand the pedestrian street. After deducting all the expenses, they only got [-]% of it, and the remaining [-]% was ours."

Hearing this, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help laughing. These guys really have the heart of Buddha. They paid for the expansion of the pedestrian street and the share is only [-]%. With such a good condition, it's no wonder that A Dong was immediately tempted.

A Dong saw that Lin Daoqiu suddenly laughed after he finished speaking. After thinking about it, he immediately realized that he might have fallen into their trap.

"I said why they are so kind and only want [-]% of the profit, and it seems that there is still room for discussion, but they clearly regard me as a fool and plan to use us to make a lot of money."

Speaking of this, A Dong couldn't help but slapped the table. If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu, I'm afraid he would be dazzled by these guys.

"Okay, you will learn a lot from a pit, and this incident can be regarded as a lesson for you. In many cases, pies will not fall from the sky."

Lin Daoqiu knew that A Dong was not a fool, so he didn't intend to preach too much on this matter. Since the other party already knew, I believe A Dong would become more cautious in the future.

…………

"Bao Shao, that guy hasn't replied to us until now, did he see something?"

The few wealthy people who were planning to invest in the pedestrian street with Bao Shao were gathering together to chat at this time, and the topic would inevitably focus on the business they invested in, especially about the pedestrian street.

The reason why these people invested in the pedestrian street was not because of the benefits that the pedestrian street could obtain, because that little money was nothing to them at all.

"You think too much, don't say he is a gangster, even most people don't realize it."

I'm afraid no one can imagine that just opening a pedestrian street will double the housing prices in the surrounding area within a year, and the sales are getting better and better.

A few years ago, Baoshao's family bought a few pieces of land nearby to build commercial residences. Before the construction of this pedestrian street, the sales of these real estates can be said to be very mediocre, only good or bad.

But when the pedestrian street was established, the sales of the previously tepid real estate suddenly became hot, and the prices even became higher and higher.

At first, Baoshao and the others didn't know what was going on. After careful investigation, they realized that it was all because of the opening of a pedestrian street nearby, which caused the surrounding housing prices to start to rise.

When Bao Shao and the others discovered this secret, they immediately decided to invest in Adong's pedestrian street. It doesn't matter if the other party takes the majority, as long as he is willing to build a few more, he can give him all the proceeds from the pedestrian street.

After all, compared with the little income on the pedestrian street, as long as their real estate projects go up and they can earn hundreds of millions more, smart people should know what to do.

"Or I'm going to talk to him and give him [-]% of the profits of the pedestrian street. I believe this guy will definitely be tempted."

When they met A Dong last time, Bao Shao and others had already seen that A Dong was already moved, but the strange thing was that he still didn't agree in the end, and he seemed to have some concerns.

"Let's wait a little longer. If we act too aggressively, it might make him feel that something is wrong, so we'd better wait and see what happens for now."

In the end, Bao Shao chose a safe method. He wanted to wait for A Dong to take the initiative to contact them, so that he could hold the initiative in his own hands.

But the strange thing is that after Bao Shao and the others waited for a few days, they couldn't wait for A Dong's call, which made them feel very strange.

In the past few days, Lin Daoqiu had basically found out everything, so A Dong naturally wouldn't call them.

"It's no wonder they are businessmen. Their brains are much more flexible than ordinary people's. But they just want to make a lot of money and want He Yi to die. This Bao Shao's scheming is really not ordinary."

At this time, on Lin Daoqiu's table was the information that Anan had investigated in the past few days. Although it only recorded the information of real estate around the pedestrian street, Lin Daoqiu saw another big trouble.
