My girlfriend is from 1949

"Mr. Sun, are you trying to profit from both ends? Or is this a deliberate arrangement to inflate the price?"

His calm voice betrayed a hint of displeasure and skepticism.

From an outsider's perspective, Yang Yongli's appearance seemed like a carefully orchestrated scheme.

By deliberately arranging for the two buyers to meet, the aim is to highlight the high demand for the equipment and thus sell it at a higher price.

If a buyer offers 600 million, the bidding might surge to 800 million.

We're all business people; it's normal to use a few tricks.

Sun Dacheng could easily tell that the other party was expressing doubt and dissatisfaction.

He hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Mr. Zhao, you've misunderstood. I really didn't know he would come!"

He called in the afternoon and said he wanted to treat me to dinner.

I knew it was about equipment, but the offer was too low, so I declined.

I simply replied: I have plans for tonight.

At that time, Boss Yang asked me where I wanted to eat.

Without thinking much about it, I told him.

I really didn't expect him to come here!

His voice was filled with anxiety and a hint of panic.

How much the equipment can be sold for is crucial to whether we can turn our fortunes around in the future.

If they can't raise the money, the higher-ups won't protect them anymore.

In order to quell public anger, the assets will be forcibly auctioned off.

If another backer comes along during this process, they'll try to take advantage of the situation.

That's uncertain how much it will sell for.

If you encounter a ruthless person, it's not impossible for them to offer 2 yuan and then try to buy your entire coal mine.

After all, even a school with shares worth 8 million could be forcibly bought for 2 yuan.

His mines, all in all, are worth at most 2 million.

Based on this ratio, it will only be sold for 5 cents in the end.

If you can't afford to pay compensation or bribe anyone, you'll definitely end up in jail.

Moreover, the person who bought the coal mine for 5 cents would probably also get himself imprisoned there to save trouble.

It's better to avoid wandering around outside, lest one day it gets exposed in the news and cause trouble.

That's why I was worried the deal would fall through and there wouldn't be a single buyer left.

They ended up being ruthlessly swallowed whole.

Sun Dacheng hurriedly turned around and said, "Boss Yang, how about we talk later? The nightclub is on me!"

His voice was urgent, with a hint of ingratiation.

After all, Sun Dacheng didn't dare to offend Yang Yongli.

That was a way out for myself.

If we can't sell it at a high price here, we'll have to sell the entire coal mine to a buyer at a loss.

Then the only option is to go back and sell it to Yang Yongli at an even lower price.

The price offered was only 300 million!

Frankly speaking, this is a classic case of taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

If we really sell at this price, we'll have no money left after compensating the workers!

Why would they need money to smooth things over and sell the coal mine to someone else?

If you don't have the money to bribe officials, you'll drag this out until you die!

Sun Dacheng was all too aware of the shady dealings involved and the greedy behavior of some people.

Now that I'm in trouble, I'm like a piece of fat on a chopping board, and everyone wants to take a bite out of me.

According to Yang Yongli, he was a middleman who bought equipment for others and made a profit from the price difference.

Moreover, his employer is someone he absolutely cannot afford to offend.

This is one of the reasons why Sun Dacheng is worried. He is afraid that the person behind him might take the opportunity to buy up the coal mine for just 5 cents.

Those who can reach that stage are not virtuous men or women.

That's why they're so eager to find another buyer and sell it to them at a high price.

If all else fails, then talk to Yang Yongli.

I never expected this guy to actually find his way into the private room!

However, with an acquisition price of 300 million, and a profit of at least 300 million upon resale, it would be strange if they weren't eager to participate.

After all, he had to pull strings to acquire his equipment from a bankrupt state-owned coal mine.

Although it was equipment from twenty years ago, it still cost 800 million!

How can we bear to sell it cheaply?

Yang Yongli walked in with a smile, showing no awareness whatsoever of being an uninvited guest.

He handed Zhao Shilun a business card.

He appeared calm and composed, seemingly very confident.

Or rather, it's because they have powerful backing that they have the confidence.

However, from Yang Yongli's perspective, he does have the confidence.

Because the real buyers behind the equipment he acquired are probably few and far between in China.

At least among the second and third generations of the elite, none of them have dared to engage in arms deals with the Ministry of National Defense.

That alone makes it an extraordinary existence.

There are probably no more than two people in the whole country who can be feared by those behind the scenes.

So when they put away their equipment, they were truly confident.

We accept stolen goods and items involved in legal disputes.

He even went so far as to say that he would dare to accept anything that others wouldn't!

However, although this guy is greedy, he still has some principles.

It's just a tough stance; they're willing to accept anything and aren't afraid of causing trouble.

However, rules still apply during negotiations.

At most, they might pester you, but they won't force you to buy or sell.

Even ordinary salespeople know how to use the tactic of pestering.

It's common for people to wait outside the client's office building to discuss business.

This falls within the scope of normal business operations and is not in violation of regulations.

Yang Yongli knows how to maintain proper boundaries and does not resort to coercion or forced sales simply because he has powerful connections.

The price is relatively low simply because it's for making money.

However, if the other party does not agree, he will not force them, but will use negotiation and persistent tactics to get them to agree.

In fact, Yang Yongli's bottom line was 400 million, and he planned to resell it for 600 million.

The reason for quoting this price is that they are well aware of the numerous lawsuits and disputes surrounding coal mines, and that no one without a powerful background would dare to get involved.

Therefore, in Yang Yongli's view, even if it's kicking someone when they're down, it's his own responsibility to take the risk.

That's undeniable.

If Sun Dacheng hadn't known he was in trouble, he wouldn't have sold at a loss.

The price is low because others should bear the risk.

Yang Yongli said with a smile, "Mr. Sun, if you're not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it further."

Sun Dacheng's expression changed several times, and he said with a helpless bitter smile, "Boss Yang, the price you offered is too low. You'll really make me lose everything. I had no choice but to look for other buyers. Please forgive me."

He spoke with a respectful attitude and even clasped his hands in apology.

Cai Yinjun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Boss Yang, isn't it against the rules for you to come uninvited?"

His voice was laced with anger, and he spoke without any politeness.

After all, Cai Yinjun, as the middleman, would receive a 10% commission if the deal went through.

Now that someone is interfering, isn't that cutting off his source of income?

No wonder he looked so happy!

Yang Yongli was completely unconcerned by the hostile attitude.

He was a middleman, which meant he was taking food from other people's bowls.

This isn't the first or second time something like this has happened.

Of course, he wasn't stupid; he wouldn't dare to meddle in anyone's business.

This time, we found out the buyer was a car dealer.

Such people have some connections in society, but they are not afraid of anything.

Yang Yongli sat on the sofa to the side and spoke with a smile.

"Business is business, whether you're talking to one person or two."

We're both people who value things, wouldn't it be better to sit down and talk it over?

He acted as if he knew everyone well, showing no fear whatsoever.

Turning to the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, he asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, what was his quote to you?"

Zhao Shilun's car trading business also involved weathering many storms.

They didn't take this small matter seriously at all.

If it were 20 years ago, he would have called his brothers and taken care of this guy.

But now that I have money, I do things more decently.

Even if there are past conflicts, they will be resolved privately.

On the surface, they are still legitimate business people.

Zhao Shilun took a deep look at the uninvited guest opposite him.

Turning to the side, he asked, "Mr. Sun, what's the price quote for your equipment?"

Sun Dacheng hurriedly held up one finger and gestured: "Six...six million!"

Pfft!

Yang Yongli couldn't help but laugh, a wry smile on his face as he asked, "Mr. Zhao, would you buy it for 600 million?"

Zhao Shilun squinted and shook his head, saying, "Too expensive."

As an intermediary, you naturally need to help the buyer negotiate the price first.

I will only offer a price to subsequent buyers after I have negotiated it down to a price I consider reasonable.

Otherwise, if the price is too high, buyers will think it's a setup.

Originally, it was just to gain favor and help others.

If the price is too high, it might offend the buyer, which would be counterproductive.

On the point of price, Zhao Shilun and Yang Yongli are in agreement.

I definitely won't buy it at a high price!

Doing business is inherently about bargaining and negotiation; it's a game of strategy.

To drive down the price, they nitpick.

Now that Sun Dacheng's coal mine has suffered a major accident, it has naturally become a weak point.

Conversely, if there hadn't been a problem, they wouldn't have sold it off at such a low price.

Therefore, the two exchanged knowing glances, and their smiles clearly indicated their stance.

Sun Dacheng was not surprised at all by the two men's attitude.

Even he himself never expected to be able to sell it for the original price of 600 million.

That was just a test. If neither of them objected, he would take the opportunity to sow discord between them.

However, both buyers said the price was too high and they had no intention of buying.

Then he wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble.

After all, nobody's stupid; they can just ask for an exorbitant price once.

If he continues to demand exorbitant prices, people will think he's a fool and won't play along.

Sun Dacheng tentatively asked, "So, Mr. Zhao... how much do you think is appropriate?"

Zhao Shilun narrowed his eyes, smiled, and shook his head: "Let President Sun give the quote, so I don't get scolded for quoting too low!"

The two old foxes were testing each other and immediately began to tug at each other.

"Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. Mr. Zhao, please give us a quote as soon as possible."

"Let's not report it, to avoid hurting feelings."

"It's okay, just report it boldly!"

"So, shall I really make a price offer?"

"Open the newspaper!"

"310 million!"

"Forehead……."

Sun Dacheng froze on the spot, his expression a complex mix of emotions.

Even Yang Yongli, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "That shameless old man!"

This price is based on our own quote!

It was clear that Zhao Shilun had inquired about the situation and heard from Cai Yinjun about his offer of 300 million.

The current asking price is 310 million, which is only 10 more.

If you overreport by 100 million, or even 50, you won't feel anything.

But with only an extra 10, this is climbing up by stepping on oneself and using oneself as a guiding light!

Yang Yongli's face darkened, but he clapped his hands in praise: "President Zhao is truly generous!"

His dissatisfaction was written all over his face.

Zhao Shilun simply smiled and did not refute.

We were naturally too lazy to be polite to this uninvited guest who suddenly barged into the private room.

Zhao Shilun glanced at his watch and said impatiently, "If Boss Yang has nothing else to do, please leave. Don't disrupt our gathering."

His voice was flat, and he directly told them to leave.

Yang Yongli remained unmoved and turned to say, "Old Sun, I know you're in trouble right now. I'm offering 350 million, isn't that fair?"

He then added, "You know your own situation, so don't miss this opportunity to get rid of it."

Sun Dacheng's expression changed several times as he looked back and forth between the two buyers.

He finally realized that these two guys were just taking advantage of his bad situation to try and get something for nothing.

But the situation is complicated now, and there aren't many people willing to take advantage of the situation.

So even if you feel frustrated inside, you can only force a smile.

"Brothers, I've really run into a tough spot."

I urgently need some money to get through this crisis.

If my two elder brothers could be lenient, I would be eternally grateful.

In the future, if I am ever given a command, I will go through fire and water without batting an eye!

I acquired this batch of equipment from a legitimate company six months ago for 800 million yuan.

If the two older brothers are really interested in buying it, the price is 500 million!

If the price is lower than this, I don't have enough money to settle things.

Rather than risk selling it at a low price and still not settling the matter, it's better to leave it at auction!

Sun Dacheng wore a fawning, humble smile.

He kept calling him "brother," but the key point is that Yang Yongli is at least ten years younger than him.

He calls his brother without any sense of inappropriateness; he's a man who can be both flexible and assertive!

But that last sentence also revealed their attitude.

The price cannot be lower than 500 million; otherwise, he would rather not sell.

In the most humble tone, they drew a line that was acceptable.

So he simply revealed the truth in front of the two buyers.

If the price is too low, there won't be any money left for bribes after the compensation is paid.

If no one speaks up for you, what's the point of compensation?

It would be better to wait for the auction; even if the price is lower, it's still much better than trading with these two people in front of me.

As long as you don't encounter someone with a powerful background who bullies others and sells their assets for money.

There is a high probability that you can get back half of your initial investment.

Of course, if the coal mine is reopened, he can find a buyer.

Not only will you not lose money, but you might even make a profit from the transaction price!

That's why he was willing to take the risk and secretly sell the equipment to raise money.

He didn't care at all about compensating the workers; he was just trying to appease them and quell public opinion.

What's truly important is the funding for the event!

If the money from the sale isn't enough to cover the expenses, why bother with the thankless and illegal act of selling it?

Zhao Shilun has already contacted the client, who will be here soon to discuss the deal.

If someone else buys it, wouldn't it be like Zhao is playing a trick on them?

Therefore, we must stay no matter what.

Yang Yongli was determined to get his hands on this equipment.

Mining equipment is a must-buy item on Xiao Chen's list.

The reason for haggling is simply to try and get a little more profit for myself.

Even if they don't make a single penny in the end, they still have to buy it to show off to Brother Chen.

Sun Dacheng's "what's the use" and "give up" decision put the two buyers in a passive position.
