Chapter 184 Carefully Selected

After finding out the truth, the smile disappeared from Zuo Zongcai's face.

But this does not mean that his attitude has become worse. On the contrary, he has begun to gain some equal respect now that he is not smiling and is serious.

And his respect means bargaining with a more serious attitude.

——It can also be described as negotiation.

"Student Su, I personally think your request is very reasonable, but unfortunately, I don't have such high authority..."

"Isn't it?"

Su Huai showed just the right amount of suspicion on his face: "As the group's general assistant, your authority should be just below that of the vice president. With the size of Gu's company, your words should be able to decide on at least a few hundred million projects, right?"

Zuo Zongcai's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and replied, "You know, I can only decide on the project, and what's happening right now is Mr. Gu's family affairs..."

Hey, you wanna run?!
Gou Huai knew everything in his heart, and immediately rushed in to grab the man's throat: "But Mr. Gu sent you here, which means he has absolute trust in you. Mr. Zuo, could it be that you and Mr. Gu have discussed this in advance and deliberately used those vulgar routines in novels?"

The distrust on the boy's face had reached a certain level. He did not make any threats, but took out his cell phone.

Zuo Zongcai's eyes twitched and he felt very panicked.

Kid, what are you doing?!

Su Huai unlocked his phone, then fiddled with his address book and WeChat in annoyance, sending a signal: I'm very annoyed now, and I really want to find someone to talk things over.

As for who to look for...it's either Gu Jiuyue or Cheng Lihua.

"I can understand your suspicion, but the fact is: it's really not that serious."

Zuo Zongcai's speech speed increased slightly, but his eyes did not look at the phone. Instead, he looked at Su Huai "sincerely".

"Mr. Gu is very busy, and the group affairs I have to handle every day are not easy either. If we measure it in money, every minute of our time would be worth tens of thousands of yuan. How could we be so bored that we teamed up to play a trick on you?"

In fact, Lao Zuo was cursing in his heart: It was you two who teamed up to plot against me, you really have no shame, don't you?!
Su Huai's acting skills were very good and there were no problems, but he didn't need to play any flaw-finding games. He just needed to reverse the logical chain based on the results.

Known conditions:

1. Su Huai gave Gu Tongshu a big setback.

2. Gu Tongshu was very angry, but still promised two supercars with a total value of 2 million.

3. Gu Tongshu should have tried to find a way to get back at his old self, but he didn’t. Instead, he took the opportunity to push the negotiation task onto himself.

4. Gu Tongshu "generously" gave an amount of 2000 million.

5. Su Huai was not satisfied with the two supercars and wanted to exchange them for an office building.

6. Gu Tongshu did not talk to Su Huai directly, and Su Huai did not make an offer to Gu Tongshu.

So what’s the conclusion?
Leaving aside the minor detail that Gu Tongshu wanted to have fun with himself, the conclusion is that neither of them intended to back down, but they tacitly maintained a situation of fighting but not breaking, maneuvering in any space they could seize.

This leads to a deeper conclusion, which is that Su Huai is, in a sense, evenly matched with Mr. Gu.

So how could the real Su Huai be the impulsive, angry and rebellious kid in front of him? !

Zuo Zongcai couldn't tell whether the irritation on the boy's face was real or fake. Although he was very good at judging a person's true inner thoughts through micro-expressions, this emotional perception ability was ineffective on Su Huai.

So the bottom line is: either Su Huai is really very simple, or he is super complicated.

Zuo Zongcai chose to believe the latter.

There is no reason why he has been able to reach his current position. He has already developed the instinct to peel off the illusion and see the core.

This is such a troublesome thing...

Zuo Zongcai sighed silently, but changed his words decisively: "Of course, I can change Mr. Gu's will to a certain extent, so I am personally willing to support and try to accept your reasonable demands."

Personal, reasonable, willing, try.

His wording was still so cautious, but in fact, Su Huai had torn a big hole in his words.

Gou Huai put down his phone.

Just put it on the table, sending a clear signal: you can continue the conversation.

"Boss Zuo, do you think my request for an office building is unreasonable?"

"Um... there are many kinds of office buildings."

Zuo Zongcai gently reminded him, “Reasonable demands should not be so broad, otherwise it will be difficult for me to write a report. What do you think?”

"Oh, that makes sense!"

Su Huai looked as if he had suddenly realized something and nodded.

"But I'm not familiar with office buildings... Oh, by the way, how much are those two cars worth? I don't want the cars, can I get a discount based on their value?"

Zuo Zongcai had never intended to roll his eyes at the other party during any negotiation, except today.

Please!

You are just a college student, a classmate of the young lady. Do you want to take away an office building worth more than 100 million yuan just by using emotional threats? !
And it’s not the company that pays, it’s me who pays the bulk of the money!

Zuo Zongcai's position in Gu's company is very delicate. He has both real shares and high-level dividend shares. He is both a subordinate and a partner of Gu Tongshu - just like one of the Eighteen Arhats who accompanied Jack Ma to the end.

Therefore, his wealth is far more than ordinary people can imagine, and at least he can afford the robbery of Gu Tongshu.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't feel distressed or doesn't want to resist.

“The actual value of those two cars is not that high.”

Zuo Zongcai looked like he was giving a kind reminder, but in fact he was quietly lowering the price.

"I suggest you ask Mr. Gu for more, and don't let him brush it off lightly."

Hey, that's really interesting!
Su Huai originally wanted to know whether Gu Tongshu could get the two cars and how much it would cost, so he followed Mr. Zuo's attitude: "Really? How do you say it?"

Zuo Zongcai’s reasons were very convincing, and in the blink of an eye he reduced the actual value of the two cars by half.

"Take the Lamborghini Veneno as an example. When it was first released three years ago, it was priced at about 300 million euros. Domestic media quoted a price every year. Now it may be priced at 8000 million. Then the dealers cooperated with the brand to hype it up and directly claimed it was priced at million.

But in fact, with Mr. Gu's power, he can ask the manufacturer to make an exception and build another one. Volkswagen cannot refuse Mr. Gu, and the price will most likely be the original price.

Adding the total 60% of various costs, it can be easily completed within 4500 million.

In fact, there are two Venoms at the dealership in Hong Kong, one hardtop and one convertible. The asking price is very high, but the asking price to some wealthy people in China is less than 6000 million, and they have not been sold yet.

The situation of Son of Wind is a bit more complicated because it has been out of production for a long time and the price is very confusing, but it can still be easily bought for 3000 million.

So the actual value of these two cars is not as high as you think. Mr. Gu hinted that they are worth 200 million yuan, but in fact he was just trying to scare you. It is very exaggerated. "

He really made me cry to death!
Until the very end, he did not forget to humiliate Gu Tongshu, which shows how angry he was inside.

But Gou Huai doesn't care about that. If the Son of Wind is not valuable, he can exchange it for Rafa or something like that. Anyway, Gu Xiaojiu doesn't care about the price, and Gu Tongshu can't stand the biting cold wind brought by the little cotton jacket.

In short, my benefits cannot be reduced.

"So this is ah……"

He nodded seriously, as if he really accepted the fact that the two cars were not worth much, but also as if he didn't understand at all. So Zuo Zongcai, who waited for a few seconds but didn't get the next words, had to take the initiative to ask: "So, what do you think of the office building?"

"A bet."

Su Huai described his blackmail behavior like this: "I never intended to accept Mr. Gu's gift. If I were to accept anything, it would be a challenge. He looked down on me, but I bet that I could succeed, so this was a bet agreement."

Very good, very beautiful!

Gu Tongshu really has a successor!
Zuo Zongcai realized that it would be impossible to deal with Su Huai without spending a lot of money. The good news is that spending money should be able to completely solve the current troubles.

If he didn't have to pay, he would be popping champagne by now.

Unfortunately, there is no if, and the chief assistant has to endure the pain and continue to persevere.

"I believe you can win. How about this? I personally invest in your company with cash or office space?"

Lao Zuo made a new attempt. If you work hard, there is a hope of recovering some of the loss. If you don't work hard, it will just become a bad debt.

"It's not easy to get the money in through the company channel, and the process is also very slow. If you invest personally, I can also provide you with some help quietly later. When it comes to connections, I think I'm pretty good."

His reasons were so convincing that Su Huai decisively refused.

"I appreciate the kindness, but I don't want to give him any chance to find fault with my work."

Zuo Zongcai discovered that Su Huai's reasons seemed to be more convincing.

Damn, whose 18-year-old kid could be so difficult?!
He was feeling numb, and Su Huai added: "I can give him all the promises he wants, but, whether it's career or life, it's best for us not to interfere with each other."

Zuo Zongcai was instantly moved.

Gu Tongshu has been in a rather bad state recently, to the extent that it has even affected his work.

It’s not that these troubles can really knock him down, or cause any irreversible impact on the group. It’s not that serious.

However, a secure and focused Mr. Gu is definitely more important than that little bit of money.

This is why Zuo Zongcai volunteered. He had the responsibility to help Gu Tongshu resolve the off-field troubles.

"Okay...it seems like your goal is very clear, so let's talk about the location and area?"

Forget it, just lie down and let me be cut!
Zuo Zongcai was defeated but not completely. He deliberately did not mention the price, just to "bully" Su Huai for his inexperience, and then make up for it in terms of operations.

"Boss Gu gave me 2000 million, and I added a little more. I bought a floor of an office building in a core area at an inflated price at the internal price, and then quoted Xiao Su twice as much. I should be able to fool people for a few years..."

He had a good plan and was confident that it would not be exposed in a short time.

The office market in the capital is extremely chaotic and full of tricks.

For example, in Financial Street, the quoted rent is nearly 700 yuan per square meter per month, but some people can get 450 yuan per square meter or even lower.

For example, the top floor of the financial center where the group is located can now be sold for about 2.2 yuan, but the actual price received was yuan per square meter.

What does a college student from a small place like Suhuai know about office buildings?!
As a result, Su Huai poked him in the throat with a stick.

"I'm not too picky about the location. I'd rather live near the West Fifth Ring Road, in a small building or a whole floor of a Grade A building. I'd say 5000 square meters is the right size. Any less is not enough."

"..."

Zuo Zongcai instantly calculated the approximate price, with a minimum of 5000 million and a higher price of 8000 million.

Do you really not understand, or are you just trying to get stuck? !
He looked at Su Huai carefully and cautiously, and was silent for a long time.

The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Boss Zuo, Uncle Gu wouldn't even make things difficult for the West Fifth Ring Road, right?"

It's not difficult for him, but it's difficult for me!
But how could I possibly say this?

Embarrass yourself in front of a freshman?
In fact, Zuo Zongcai himself is not that concerned about face, but he has to help that bastard Gu Tongshu to save face.

If Gu Tongshu feels embarrassed and ashamed in front of his "good son-in-law", who knows how much trouble he will get into in the future.

Choose the lesser of two evils, just bear with it...

Zuo Zongcai took a deep breath and nodded with a fake smile: "It shouldn't be that serious... I will communicate with him properly."

Damn it, I can't possibly pay all this money!

We must find a way to get it back from Gu Tongshu!

Thinking of this, Zuo Zongcai simply stopped helping Gu Tongshu to cover up and came clean.

"As for Mr. Gu's request... he is very worried that Xiaoyue will taste the forbidden fruit too early. Although I think this worry is funny, I can only tell you the truth. It is my duty. Xiaosu, please forgive me."

He thought Su Huai would be angry and feel insulted, and then turn around and cause trouble for Gu Tongshu, but... he failed again.

Su Huai accepted it very easily.

"I understand! Yueyue's body is indeed a little weak. Mr. Gu is overthinking it. I really don't have that kind of thought."

Shit!

Zuo Zongcai sneered in his heart: You have no idea? You have already booked all the hotel suites!

He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, then suddenly froze.

Huh?and many more!

What if Su Huai really had no other ideas and only booked a room to scare Gu Tongshu? !

Then wouldn't it be that I am... asking to be slaughtered?

Realizing this possibility, Zuo Zongcai suddenly looked up, narrowed his eyes, and observed Su Huai's expression again.

There was no sign of pretense, nor any reluctance, and his smile was so bright that he couldn't suppress it at the corners of his mouth.

Obviously, the real office building made him happier than Xiaoyue.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zuo Zongcai suddenly laughed.

Interesting, really interesting!
I finally understand the fun of investing for those guys...

Gu's core business is investment, so there are three main types of losses:

The first type is that entrepreneurs start squandering money immediately after receiving it and do not do their real work.

The second type is that the founder lacks ability and loses in the competition.

The third type is that the founding team achieves some results, and then starts to intrigue with investors, wasting opportunities in internal friction.

Although Zuo Zongcai does not directly engage in frontline business, he has seen many different situations.

So, which one is Su Huai?
He made Zuo Zongcai suffer a new type of loss, but from another perspective, he was more awesome than any entrepreneur under the age of 25 that Zuo Zongcai knew.

Is it worth spending tens of millions on such a person?
It's hard to give a definite answer, we can only gamble.

As the general assistant, Zuo Zongcai is actually a person with a very low risk appetite. He does not like to gamble and rarely gambles.

But today, now, he subconsciously began to take stock of his family's resources in the West Fifth Ring Road, carefully selected, and decided to find a good building for Su Huai.
