A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 58 Take refuge?

At this time, Chen Guangliang suddenly said: "Mr. Gu, in fact, your recent real estate investment business has made some mistakes!"

Gu Zhuxuan immediately asked with great interest: "What did you do wrong?"

This kid is really playing tricks on me.

Chen Guangliang said, "While investing in real estate will likely see significant appreciation, have you ever considered the massive protest this year involving 4000 tenants over rent? So, while rents will likely rise in the future, there are many limits. Furthermore, the investment potential of real estate isn't the best."

Gu Zhuxuan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. So, according to you, should I invest in land?"

Chen Guangliang replied, "If I had 5 silver dollars, within three years, I could turn it into at least 15 silver dollars, or even 20 silver dollars. And as far as I know, some banks have already taken action."

Gu Zhuxuan was shocked. This kid was so confident. No wonder those bankers and real estate people valued him so much last time.

Then, he smiled and said, "As long as Guangliang comes to check for me, I will make those five car dealerships apologize to you and compensate you for double your losses."

At this time, there is no right or wrong, only interests.

Chen Guangliang then said, "Mr. Gu can take out 10 silver dollars and invest in the land in Zhabei. Within three years, it will appreciate to at least 30 silver dollars. Of course, you can also raise half of the funds yourself and borrow the other half from the bank."

Gu Zhuxuan said solemnly: "What if I can't make that much?"

After all, he had never invested in real estate specifically, and he felt that Chen Guangliang was very cunning and didn't know if there were any traps.

Chen Guangliang then said, "I'll be the part-time helmsman. Within three years, if the profits double, I won't take a cent, I'll just use it as my commission. Within three years, if the profits triple, I'll take 2%, which is 4 yuan. If the profits triple, I'll take 5%, which is yuan. Mr. Gu can consider investing or not. I want to buy land. I don't need any guarantee, because it's a beneficial and harmless thing."

At this time, the old housekeeper said unconvincedly: "There is always a chance of something happening!"

Chen Guangliang said: "Investment is risky and you should take responsibility for it yourself!"

Gu Zhuxuan immediately interrupted the old housekeeper's argument and said firmly, "I believe Guangliang. What's more, he is right. Investing has risks, but buying land is definitely risk-free."

Chen Guangliang then continued, "Mr. Gu, you're right. With Shanghai's growing importance to the Nationalist government and the ongoing population movement, Shanghai's real estate market will see the greatest opportunities. Land is the most likely to be inflated, as it's easy to speculate on. If you buy this land today, you might be able to sell it tomorrow for a huge profit. That's its advantage."

Gu Zhuxuan suddenly understood, and then humbly asked, "Then why did you choose Zhabei? Isn't the land in the concession good?"

Chen Guangliang said, "Of the entire Chinese area, Zhabei and Hunan have the most potential. One is close to the train station, offering convenient transportation; the other is close to the concession, connecting commercial and high-end residential areas. Zhabei is also Mr. Gu's base, so it's naturally the most suitable."

"Haha," Gu Zhuxuan said with satisfaction after listening to it, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. After listening to Guangliang's words, I feel like I can even speculate in land myself. But Guangliang, don't worry, I will give you every cent of the share you just mentioned."

Chen Guangliang then said, "Mr. Gu, can I withdraw 1 yuan in advance? I also have my eye on a piece of land."

Good boy, you are so shameless!

After thinking for a moment, Gu Zhuxuan said, "Since Guangliang is confident, I'll pay you a 1 yuan commission first. You wouldn't dare to cheat me anyway, right?"

The last sentence already has a threatening element.

Chen Guangliang said: "Since I dare to accept it, I am naturally very confident."

He was afraid that Gu Zhuxuan would default on his debt in the future, so he took the 1 yuan first.

Everyone naturally enjoyed the meal very much. In the end, Gu Zhuxuan insisted that the driver drive Chen Guangliang home.

"Boss, this kid is really arrogant!"

Gu Zhuxuan looked at the housekeeper and said, "I trust him. Please mobilize 6 oceans of funds for me immediately. In addition, I will borrow 5 oceans from the bank." Although he had more than 1000 rickshaws, he had many disciples and his expenses were also very high. What's more, he invested in many industries, so the funds were not as easy to get as Chen Guangliang imagined.

The old housekeeper said, "This kid actually dared to take 1 yuan in advance, isn't he afraid of bursting his bankrupt!"

Gu Zhuxuan laughed and said, "I'm using 10 yuan to speculate in land. I have to make 10 yuan in three years, otherwise I'll take the money from his car dealership. And if he doesn't make 20 yuan, he should return the yuan to me. On this account, I won't lose out no matter what!"

"That's right, he's still too young to fight you!"

the next day.

Chen Guangliang, representing the Changjiang Car Dealership, and the bosses of five other car dealerships were having tea and talking at Desheng Tea House, and Gu Zhuxuan also came in person.

Gu Zhuxuan spoke first, "I know about your recent affairs. If this matter continues, do you still want to do business?"

Han Yanbao immediately said, "Mr. Gu, I can't do business now. Boss Chen, you are so arrogant!"

Wu Guangpeng also complained first, "That's right, Boss Chen, you can invite the Traffic Department and the Police Station, so you think we can't? What's more, we draw the lottery for Mr. Gu. Are you trying to challenge Mr. Gu's position?"

What a way to divert trouble to the east!
Fortunately, Chen Guangliang is now working for Gu Zhuxuan, otherwise today would definitely be bad for him.

Chen Guangliang said calmly, "I didn't cause this. If you want me to suffer, then let's not have it any easier. I, Chen Guangliang, am alone and have no ties. I'm here to help you with anything!"

Everyone was shocked. How could this kid be so foolish as to say such words?

When dealing with a scoundrel, only the scoundrel's method is the most effective.

Gu Zhuxuan said in a deep voice, "Alright, everyone, what's wrong with you! We're here to do business, not to act on impulse. I've already understood your situation. It was you five rickshaw dealerships that started it all, so I'll let you guys make the first move. The Yangtze River Dealership lost two rickshaws, so you should compensate them with four. That's it."

Han Yanbao became anxious and said, "Mr. Gu, my car dealership has been closed for four days."

Wu Guangpeng also said: "I also lost two cars."

"Mr. Gu, our three companies did not participate"

“Yes, the three of us did not participate.”

For a time, the relationship between the five car dealerships fell apart.

Gu Zhuxuan said stubbornly, "Boss Han, Boss Wu, Changjiang Car Dealership has clear evidence that you were the first to attack, so you should pay compensation. As for your opinion that Changjiang Car Dealership shouldn't have 'recruited shareholders', I believe this is neither illegal nor unethical. I think you are reasonable and should stop causing trouble in the car dealership community."

Seeing that the "big gangster" was biased, Han Yanbao and Wu Guangpeng had no choice but to bow their heads immediately.

"I think"

Chen Guangliang immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for upholding justice. This has helped to restore order in our car dealership community. I'll also have my friends at the Traffic Department complete the inspection as soon as possible."

Mr. Gu nodded and said, "This matter ends here. I'll also tell you one thing: Guangliang will do things for me from now on. Everyone, please don't hurt Heping anymore!"

Han Yanbao and Wu Guangpeng suddenly realized that Chen Guangliang had defected to Gu Zhuxuan, no wonder Gu Zhuxuan was biased towards him today.

At this point, they had no choice but to admit defeat.
