Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 828 Little Luo, help me!

"To be honest, there is indeed such a possibility."

Luo Yang replied to Liang Yuxin against his will: "At that time, I was desperately poor and desperately wanted to make a lot of money so that I could solve my family's debt problem and change my fate. So at that time, I was single-mindedly focused on doing business. That's why, after Jincheng did not accept my model, I immediately turned to Fu Bin. As you can see, my father got 20% of the shares in Guotai Industrial Real Estate."

Yes, I can understand your mindset.

Liang Yuxin wasn't angry at Luo Yang's words. Instead, she smiled and looked at him, saying, "But it's only limited to 20% of the shares, and your family also provided corresponding cash. To be honest, Fu Bin actually got a slight advantage, didn't he?"

"This is different."

Luo Yang continued lying, "My cooperation with Fu Bin is naturally fraught with suspicion. All the smooth progress is limited to normal business activities. Once I have any ulterior motives, the cooperation between us could break down. But you are different. With other relationships involved, if I want to sabotage things, you might not."

"you will not!"

What do you mean I can't?

Luo Yang avoided Liang Yuxin's burning gaze and said ruthlessly, "As long as the benefits are big enough, there's nothing you can't do. Don't you understand a principle? People's hearts can't withstand tests. If they can, it's only because the temptation isn't strong enough."

"you will not!"

Liang Yuxin disregarded basic logic and simply stared into Luo Yang's eyes as she uttered those three words.

Luo Yang: "."

"Okay, even if I don't know how, alright?"

He knew he couldn't win against Liang Yuxin in this situation, so he simply conceded defeat.

Then they changed the subject.

"Because Lao Liang doesn't support you starting your own business, you're going to run away from home?"

Luo Yang asked, puzzled, "Isn't that a bit much?"

"At the time, Lao Liang and I were both angry, and I said a few extreme things, which probably angered him."

Recalling the incident, Liang Yuxin was quite emotional: "After that argument, Lao Liang thought I was obsessed with you. Whether it was trying to start a new business or trying to interfere in marketing, he believed that I was trying to influence him and attempt to gradually seize control of Jincheng Real Estate through me."

Goodness, is Liang Xingmin's imagination really that powerful?
Or is it that his paranoia was caused by his daughter?
"Not long after that day, Lao Liang started arranging blind dates for me."

Liang Yuxin sighed, "Arranging blind dates is one thing, after all, I'm not young anymore, and my close friends who are about the same age as me can't escape these kinds of arrangements either. But Lao Liang is starting to take away my power at the company."

"Isn't it?"

After hearing this explanation, Luo Yang also felt that Liang Xingmin had gone a bit too far.

He spoke up in defense, saying, "You were already in charge of a functional department. Further reducing your power will definitely damage your prestige, especially since you were also promoting the implementation of standardized systems in the company at that time. With Lao Liang doing this, many of your decisions in the company will be impossible to implement."

"Ordinary employees wouldn't dare, but the key is those old-timers who started with Lao Liang."

Liang Yuxin looked helpless and said, "You know why I implemented this standard system back then. Besides wanting to improve the company's operational efficiency, I also wanted to use rules and regulations to restrain those older employees."

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Luo Yang understood it all.

Liang Yuxin's plan is an open strategy; if anyone can't keep up with the pace of company change, they'll have to give up their position.

"So it's not just Lao Liang putting pressure on you; some of the company's veterans are also starting to outwardly comply with you while inwardly resisting?"

Luo Yang looked at Liang Yuxin with great understanding, his eyes filled with pity: "And you didn't have anyone knowledgeable to help you, so you were hampered at every turn and had no way to fight back. You must have been under a lot of pressure back then."

"Yes, you resigned back then."

Liang Yuxin stroked her teacup with one hand, a hint of resentment in her eyes: "If only you were still by my side as my assistant back then. Even if those old guys wanted to make things difficult for me, you would always have a clever way to defuse the situation and retaliate subtly, and in the end, you could even surprise Lao Liang, making it hard for him to take sides."

"Uh, I probably don't have such an exaggerated ability."

Luo Yang smiled sheepishly and said, "Besides, I'm just an ordinary person. Who would want to worry about hundreds of millions of dollars in profits when they only earn a million a year? Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it'll just be Lao Liang taking advantage of me."

Originally feeling rather sad, Liang Yuxin couldn't help but laugh after Luo Yang's words.

She gave Luo Yang a reproachful look: "How can you describe it like that?"

"Why not?"

Now that he didn't need to hold back, Luo Yang bluntly complained, "Take the Pudong land acquisition incident for example. I came up with an idea that directly helped Jincheng Real Estate persuade four companies that had applied to withdraw. Judging from the situation that day, I saved Lao Liang at least 1 million yuan. Moreover, this method could have saved even more money later. But what did I get in return?"

He paused for a moment, then slapped his forehead.

"Oh, I remember now, back then my monthly salary was only thirty or forty thousand."

Luo Yang feigned a surprised expression: "After that, Lao Liang raised my monthly salary to 8. I was so happy!"

"Pfft!"

Liang Yuxin was amused by the funny expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Land acquisition assessment and calculation template, standard construction period compression, community buyback, one-day clearance sale, external bidding for land auctions, new unit types and new marketing models, and three-party cooperation to win district projects."

"And there are two more crucial ones."

Luo Yang added casually, "A standard template for the entire lifecycle of real estate development, and an industrial real estate model that you won't even eat when it's offered to you."

"Yes, thinking about it carefully, you actually made so many contributions during the year or so that you worked part-time at my company."

Liang Yuxin couldn't help but sigh, "Jincheng Real Estate's assets have almost doubled in this year. At least half of that is thanks to you. If we were to reward you based on your contributions, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give you 5% of Jincheng Real Estate's shares. No wonder Lao Liang both loves and fears you."

"hehe."

Luo Yang glanced at Liang Yuxin: "Isn't the reason why Lao Liang is wary of me because of you? Later, I also cooperated with Santai Real Estate. In addition to my father investing, I even went to Jinling with him this week to help him introduce an industrial construction project in Jiangning Development Zone. We got along very well, didn't we?"

Liang Yuxin didn't know how to reply for a moment.

Upon closer examination, she realized that Luo Yang's statement was perfectly correct.

"So now I understand why those princes rebelled."

Continuing the discussion would be awkward, so Luo Yang wisely stopped there and naturally changed the subject, saying, "If it were me, under such pressure, I would also consider leaving the company for a while."

In the struggle for power, sometimes even family ties are disregarded.

Luo Yang has such a typical incident in his memory.

The real estate company in Longcheng, Jiangsu Province, was not small in scale back then. In terms of annual sales and sales area, it once climbed into the top 20 of the Ericsson list. It was such a large-scale and professional real estate company that experienced an internal power struggle, and it was the kind where the son sent the father to prison.

There are supposedly many versions of the truth, but no matter what, this is the final result.

A ruthless seizure of power.

"Yes, even you feel you can't stand it here anymore, let alone me?"

With a bitter expression, Liang Yuxin said, "I considered two options at the time. One was to go back to the United States, find a job at a Fortune 500 company, and slowly climb up the ladder. But that path was not easy, and there was a ceiling. People in our circle all have this understanding: Chinese people in foreign companies in the United States have a career ceiling. Once they reach a certain level, they can't go any higher. So after thinking it over, I chose to start my own business."

"Why go all the way to Guangzhou?" Luo Yang asked curiously while cleaning the tea leaves from the teapot. "Since it's an e-commerce project, wouldn't the atmosphere and the talent pool next door be better and more abundant?"

"Zhejiang Province attaches great importance to the development of the Internet industry and has provided a lot of policy support, but apart from Alibaba Group, can you find another large-scale Internet company in the entire province?"

Liang Yuxin curled her lip and said, "Alibaba allows startups and small-scale internet companies to exist, but those with huge potential or those that become their competitors will definitely be suppressed and swallowed up."

"Too."

Luo Yang nodded in agreement: "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?"

"As for the capital, the entrepreneurial atmosphere in the internet industry is better, and large and medium-sized internet companies are clustered there. People like me, who don't have much start-up capital, no creative projects, and no connections, can only go south."

After saying that, he added, "Even if we go to the south, we should avoid Shenzhen, because there is a behemoth there. After considering all options, Guangzhou is the most suitable."

Why not go to the southwest?

Luo Yang smiled and said, "Actually, Jiangcheng and Rongcheng are both good, and you can avoid those places where large Internet companies are clustered together."

"Logistics and industry can't keep up."

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with a surprised expression and said, "Don't you know that many online shopping sites now have clear reminders that free shipping is only available to the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions? Without developed logistics and factories, e-commerce platforms can't succeed."

Well.
Luo Yang forgot that it was only 2012.

"And there's another very important reason."

Liang Yuxin laughed and said, "I'm a girl who grew up in the water towns of Jiangnan. I can't eat spicy food. How can I live in the southwest region?"

Okay, that's a strong reason too.

After this exchange, Luo Yang finally learned the truth about what happened back then, and at the same time, he felt a great sense of relief.

Liang Yuxin's guilt vanished immediately after realizing that she hadn't run away from home because of him.

"Do you feel much more relaxed now?"

Liang Yuxin was a very shrewd person, and she immediately noticed the unusual change in his expression. So she smiled and said, "Although the main reason I ran away from home to Guangzhou was not because of you, it is true that I stamped your name."

Come again
Luo Yang looked at Liang Yuxin with a helpless expression.

"Why bring something up when you know it's pointless?"

He sighed and said, "Wouldn't it be better to give each other some space and preserve some goodwill?"

"Nothing in this world is certain."

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with a smile and said, "Maybe I'll change my mind someday?"

"What do you mean?"

Luo Yang paused for a moment, then looked up at Liang Yuxin with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

"I am not Lao Liang's only child."

As Liang Yuxin said this, a hint of weariness showed in her eyes; "Just the two that my mom and I know about!"

"son?"

"They are also daughters, one is three years younger than me, and the other is about twelve or thirteen years younger. They are still in high school right now."

Liang Yuxin said with a wry smile, "As for whether I have a son, I don't know."

Gee.
Luo Yang didn't know how to comfort Liang Yuxin.

Because it's inappropriate to say anything now.

"What, shouldn't you be comforting me in this situation?"

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with a half-smile: "In my situation, I might only be able to inherit a very small portion of the family fortune in the end. When I fall on hard times, you'll have the opportunity to take me under your wing."

"hehe."

If you were to say something else, Luo Yang might be speechless.

He didn't mince words when it came to this.

"Do you really think I have any designs on Jincheng Real Estate?"

Luo Yang put on a disdainful expression and said, "I am clearly very capable in real estate development, so why am I not enthusiastic about it, and even willing to help my old man start from scratch and create a model for industrial real estate development?"

"You've mentioned this before."

Liang Yuxin has a good memory: "You are not optimistic about the domestic real estate industry in the next ten years or so, and believe that decline is an inevitable trend."

"Weakness is an understatement."

Luo Yang scoffed, "It's lucky we didn't go bankrupt."

"Is it that serious?"

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with wide, eager eyes, as if she really wanted to know the reason.

Is Jincheng Real Estate still developing step by step according to the plan I gave it back then?

Luo Yang suddenly changed the subject, asking about the current situation of Jincheng Real Estate: "Or is it because the market situation is very optimistic that you are still desperately expanding your scale, reserving land, and developing multiple projects?"

"I haven't paid much attention to it."

Liang Yuxin thought for a moment and said, "But I heard my mother mention that Lao Liang has been very busy in the past year or two, and the company is developing very well and expanding rapidly. In short, it's very profitable."

"If he continues like this..."

Luo Yang smiled and said, "You will have a chance to take over Jincheng Real Estate again in two or three years."

Liang Yuxin's eyes widened instantly.

"Squeak."

Seeing that Luo Yang had stopped talking and was only focused on brewing another pot of tea, Liang Yuxin stood up abruptly, almost causing the chair she was sitting on to fall to the ground.

She walked around the tea table and quickly went to Luo Yang's side.

"I want to take back control of Jincheng Real Estate and reclaim the dignity I've lost."

After Liang Yuxin finished speaking seriously, she sat on Luo Yang's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said in a coquettish tone, "Little Luo, please help me."

Just like when Luo Yang was still her assistant.
