Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 315 309. Joining the Gang
"Well, let me think about it." Lin Longma frowned slightly. The gap between Dashang Zhushan and Qianjian Jiangdai was not big, but not small either.

Tens of millions of dollars is not a big deal. Even if Lin Longma doesn't have enough money, he can still ask the Suzuki Group and the Shiratori Group to participate.

Moreover, the current owner of the Dusk Villa is in a hurry to sell it because of management problems.

Unfortunately, this villa is very valuable, but it is not so easy to sell.

In other words, although this villa costs a lot to buy, it is not easy to depreciate - in fact, as time goes by, the value of the Dusk Villa will become higher and higher.

But in Lin Longma's career plan, he did not need to configure a villa for himself or Yixin during this period of time.

In particular, Dashang Zhushan and Qianjian Jiangdai account for nearly half of the remaining share.

Lin Longma is confident that he can lower the price of Dusk Villa to around 8000 million US dollars.

But this also means that he has to shell out at least $4000 million.

As for seeking a bank loan, it's impossible to even think about it.

Even if Qian Jianjiang's life savings and Da Shang Zhushan's life fortune were thrown in, it would still not be worth half of the value of the Sunset Villa.

How can the bank approve loans for them?

To put it bluntly, there is only one old lady in the family, and she might die at any time.

Da Shang Zhu Shan is the only one left. Can he earn twice as much as a famous detective? Da Shang Zhu Shan is already over 50 years old. We can't expect him to continue to take commissions for another 40 years, right?

A ninety-year-old detective?
It is imperative for them to seek cooperation from a third party, and the Shikima incident is Okami Zhushan's attempt to test the waters.

But Hayashi Ryoma also has to consider the contents of Karasuma Renya's treasure.

Is this so-called treasure left by Karasuma Renya's mother worth the initial investment of 4 million US dollars?

Reading people's expressions has always been an essential skill for a famous detective, or it can be said that as a famous detective, this skill is used to perfection by Ogami Zhushan.

He saw Lin Longma's hesitation and prepared to find a way to convince the person in front of him.

There is no way, Lin Longma is already the best partner that Dashang Zhushan can find.

Which of the leaders of those big conglomerates and groups is easy to deal with? Da Shang Zhushan doesn't dare to provoke a big conglomerate like the Suzuki Group.

They are afraid that someone will come and rob them in the end - if they have too little money, the big conglomerates will not be interested; if they have too much money, they are afraid that the big conglomerates will be tempted.

If someone is tempted to do good deeds, not only will he not get any of the money, but he may not even be able to survive.

According to Okami Zhushan's reasoning, Karasuma Renya's mother must have left a very rich treasure for her son.

So much so that when the Karasuma Group encountered difficulties, Karasuma Renya was still obsessed with finding someone to solve the mystery left by his mother.

"President Lin, please believe me, this is a business that is sure to make money!" Dan Sang Zhushan said anxiously:
"As long as we can lower the price of the annex low enough, even if we can't find the Karasuma family's treasure, this business will be a sure win!"

It is a common practice for banks to put up umbrellas on sunny days and close them on rainy days. If the company of the current owner of the Dusk Villa is in good business condition, there is no need to sell the property.

But because of his poor management, he was unable to borrow money from the bank - even if he used the Dusk Villa as collateral, he could not reach the price required to sell the Villa.

As long as a buyer can be found, Dusk Villa is indeed a high-quality real estate. The former "ancestral home" of the Karasuma Group will still be of interest to some people. "Mr. Okami, what you said makes sense." Lin Longma agreed with Okami's words, but that didn't mean he didn't want more:
"But spending tens of millions of dollars just to buy a mountain villa is not a healthy investment."

"How about this, in addition to the treasure hunt plan, if Mr. Okami and Ms. Chiken can agree to some additional conditions for me, then it's not impossible for me to join you."

Seeing Lin Longma give in, Dashang Zhushan immediately asked, "President Lin, please speak!"

"Mr. Okami also knows that I run a consulting and investigation company. Since it is a consulting and investigation company, there are no experts in the professional field.

If you two don't mind, how about becoming a consultant in my company?"

The so-called nominal consultant is just a euphemism used by Lin Longma. In fact, Isshin will sometimes need the title of a famous detective to endorse him.

Da Shang Zhu Shan and Qian Jian Jiang Dai, who agreed to Lin Longma's conditions, can be considered half members of Isshinkai to some extent.

In some situations where the endorsement of a famous detective is needed, the two of them will give Isshin strong support.

The famous detectives in the island countries basically run their own detective agencies, and most of them have their own reservations. Few famous detectives choose to form a group.

This is just like NBA superstars - what kind of criticism did the first superstar who chose to stick together at his peak get?
By the same token, if Lin Longma can gather a group, or even several famous detectives in Isshinkai, then when Isshinkai needs support in the future, the famous detectives will also bring a large number of fixed fans.

Da Shang Zhu Shan didn't even need to think much about Lin Longma's proposal.

This is not the first time that Da Shang Zhu Shan has worked with Lin Long Ma. They have been very happy after working together twice.

Whether as a partner or a boss, Lin Longma had nothing to say. Zhu Shan had no objection to being a consultant at Yi Xin Consulting Company.

"I can promise you the consultant thing!" Dashang Zhushan said straightforwardly, "But I can't make a decision for Sister Qianjian. I need to ask her what she thinks."

"No problem. Even if Ms. Qianjian doesn't want to, there's no need to force her. The company is already very strong to have Mr. Okami join us.

Then I can also make the decision and agree to the cooperation with Twilight Annex. As for the specific share, it will be up to you, Mr. Ogami, and Akita, the president of our company, to discuss it.

What do you think? "

"Of course no problem!" Being able to finalize Lin Longma's joining today was already a pleasant surprise for Da Shang Zhu Shan.

What he lacks most now is time.

It's easy to sell the Dusk Villa, but it's also not a big deal if it's not easy to sell.

You can't just buy this kind of real estate. There's a lot of preparation work to do in the early stages.

The news that the owner of the Dusk Villa wanted to sell it had not spread yet. It was purely because Da Shang Zhu Shan and Qian Jian Jiangdai had wide connections that they were the first to know the news.

What he wanted to do now was to create a time difference. At least he needed to reach an agreement with the current owner before the people who were really interested in Dusk Villa found out.

Since time is running out, the sooner Lin Longma makes a decision, the better.

Lin Longma's decisive character once again delighted Okami Zhushan, and he promised that he would persuade Chikan Kyoudai to join the Isshinkai as an advisor.
