Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 667 The overall situation has been decided
Luo Xiangshi has a typical businessman's mindset. After several battles with Malu, he didn't gain any advantage, so he simply offered a price to buy Houde.

As for the proposal to let Malu join the board of directors, it was added by Luo Xiangshi on the spur of the moment. Even Luo Yuxiang didn't know about it and was confused when he heard it.

Luo Xiangshi really admired the young man in front of him.

He was no longer young and vigorous and did not care much about winning or losing. In his opinion, the fact that Malu could lead the weak Houde to defeat Xiayin was enough to prove his talent.

He knew that there would be no good banquet tonight, but he still dared to attend it. He was not at all restrained and timid when facing him, which also demonstrated his bravery.

Such a brave and resourceful person is exactly what a famous hero needs.

It was for this reason that Luo Xiangshi wanted to turn his enemy into a friend and offered such generous conditions.

But he didn't expect Malu to refuse so quickly and so directly, and he didn't even hide the sarcasm on his face.

The other people at the table also didn't understand why Malu had no intention of negotiating.

20 is not a small amount of money, especially considering that Houde currently has only more than teachers and students combined. This offer is not low, and it also includes a seat on the board of directors.

Even if you are not satisfied, you can continue to talk. There is no need to overturn the table so early.

But Malu seemed to be not satisfied enough and added, "It's not that Houde cannot be sold, but it's not something you can afford, Boss Luo. Even if you put all the Mingxia Group together, you can't buy a single school building of Houde."

Malu is telling the truth.

He had just recently maxed out all of Houde's buildings with educational points. Coupled with the effects of various scientific research projects, the bonus effect that Houde could provide to teachers and students had reached an astonishing level.

If this were put in a fantasy novel, it would definitely be a paradise, enough for those ancient sects to beat their brains out.

Luo Xiangshi wanted to buy a director position for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Malu really felt that he had drunk a little too much.

Unfortunately, the truth hurts. Luo Xiangshi frowned. He began to feel that the young man in front of him was a little too arrogant.

Since the other party refused to accept the toast, Luo Xiangshi was no longer polite. He simply walked past Malu, looked at the other people at the table, and asked.

"What do you think of this proposal?"

Hou Chengyi, director of the Municipal Education Bureau, was the first to express his opinion, "I think this price is quite fair. Mingxia Group has a strong faculty, and its six schools are among the top 100 schools of the Ministry of Education.

"If you are willing to open a branch school in Pingcheng, it will be a good thing for local students and citizens."

Hou Chengyi is an old friend of Houde. When Houde was recruiting new students, he personally led people to cause trouble, hoping to limit the number of students admitted to Houde and make it lose its qualification to run a school.

However, Malu miraculously found 10 qualified freshmen in just one night, leaving him with nothing to hope for, and he had to leave in disgrace.

However, after this incident, he also realized that his relationship with Houde was probably not very good. In addition, he was very close to Luo Xiangshi, so he simply became the first to stand up and express his position.

Ma Lu glanced at him and said, "Director Hou, Houde is now also in the top 100. On the contrary, Xiayin, a subsidiary of Mingxia Group, has fallen out."

Hou Chengyi was stunned. "This... is just a temporary ranking. It doesn't mean anything."

Pan Taiyan, the largest landlord in Pingcheng, had been resting with his eyes closed, but suddenly spoke.

"Boss Luo, Houde is our own school of talisman masters in Pingcheng. It has a history of more than 70 years and has become a part of this city. You just want to acquire it. This... is not appropriate."

Hou Chengyi was somewhat puzzled. As far as he knew, Pan Taiyan had no relationship with Houde, and he did not expect that he would speak up for Houde at this time. But judging from his usual behavior, he did not seem to have any sense of justice, so why would he stand up at this time?
Luo Xiangshi seemed to have known this for a long time, and said calmly, "The site of Houde's school was specially approved by the Construction Bureau at that time to promote school operation. Pingcheng has always had a strong academic atmosphere, so the land was also approved very generously, even a little too generously.

“We directly allocated half of Shouyang Mountain to the school, but in reality, such a large area is not fully utilized and it is not convenient for teachers and students to live there.

"After the acquisition, I plan to sell part of the land on the mountain. I wonder if Mr. Pan is interested in buying it. I will definitely give you a suitable price."

Pan Taiyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and stroked his beard and said, "That's great."

Luo Xiangshi turned to the police chief and said, "Director Ye, I heard that Master Ling was recently found to have the qualifications of a talisman master."

Ye Zhi nodded slightly, "It's a pity that I'm only at level D. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into a prestigious school."

"This is easy to do. As long as Director Ye is willing, I can ask the famous hero to send the admission letter to Master Ling. When he enters the school next year, I will arrange for the best famous teachers to tutor him and ensure that he will not fall behind in his studies."

Ye Zhi was quite tempted. He had four children in total, but unfortunately three were girls. The couple was very concerned about their only son and started looking for a school for him early on.

Although Ye Zhi was the police chief, he was born into a common family and had no connections in the education sector. Houde rose unexpectedly, and he wanted to wait and see. If there were no problems, he would send his child to Houde to study.

In this way, he can be taken care of in the local life, but now there is a better choice. It would be better to study in the famous university ranked first by the Ministry of Education.

After Luo Xiangshi finished speaking, he had already instructed his men to call the principal of Mingxia and arrange the matter directly. Then he looked at He Junli, the president of the Siping branch of the Railway Bank.

"President He, I heard in Xindu that the supervisor will come to your bank to audit the accounts next month. Do you need me to give them a heads up in advance?"

Everyone present understood what Luo Xiangshi was planning.

He had obviously done a lot of homework before inviting everyone to the party and found out what everyone wanted.

However, except for Mayor Huang Xian who was a little unhappy, no one else disliked Luo Xiangshi's approach.

Politics, after all, is all about the exchange of interests. Luo Xiangshi is willing to give them what they need, and they don't mind reciprocating.

Moreover, Luo Xiangshi whispered a few words in Huang Xian's ear, and Mayor Huang's brows relaxed. Laughter and joy returned to the table, and everyone began to toast each other.

But this time everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignored the millipede sitting next to them, as if he didn't exist at all.

The older you get, the wiser you get. Luo Xiangshi had no intention of engaging in verbal battle with Malu tonight. Instead, he used his superb political skills to take down the local tyrants in Pingcheng.

As long as these people agree to the merger and acquisition deal, the opinion of the principal Malu will be insignificant.

Because they have plenty of ways to make it impossible for a school to continue operating in Pingcheng.

Pingcheng was originally Houde's home court, but Luo Xiangshi's move directly swapped the positions of the two sides.

In comparison, Millipede looked more like the outsider among the people at the table.

He sat there quietly, looking somewhat lonely.

At this moment, the famous star Chen Meng suddenly picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "I want to toast this glass of wine to someone I respect very much."
