Chapter 416: Li Xin's Eye for People

Red Letter Building.

Li Yunfei looked at the land transfer contract in his hand, his breathing became a bit hurried, and his face gradually flushed.

Finally he exhaled, slumped into the chair, looking very satisfied.

He rose from the chair, walked over to Li Xin and sat down, flatteringly saying: "Boss! Do you think these parcels could be turned over to Red Letter Real Estate for development?"

Li Xin rolled his eyes and quickly interrupted Li Yunfei.

"Cut it out! We're partners, don't get all chummy—you're the boss of Red Letter Real Estate."

"If Red Letter Real Estate really handles these lands, how much of your and Mr. Jiang's shares would remain?"

"Last time when New River Real Estate merged, Mr. Jiang's shares were hardly left; if we do it again, could Mr. Jiang still hold a board meeting?"

Li Yunfei stared at Li Xin for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, laughing heartily.

Since the cooperation began, A Xin has never interfered with Red Letter Real Estate; everything is handled by him.

Moreover, he has full authority—apart from finance staff, A Xin has never sent any senior personnel to Red Letter Real Estate.

This trust moved Li Yunfei beyond words; his mindset now, compared to when the cooperation first started, has undergone a complete transformation.

As for A Xin's friends, one could say he has shown utmost benevolence and righteousness; since he considers Jiang Tian Sheng, Li Yunfei can also enjoy this treatment.

On this point, he is very confident!

If these lands are added to Red Letter Real Estate, his share would be greatly diluted, but Red Letter Real Estate would become a top-tier real estate company on Hong Kong Island.

Having even a small share in a top-tier real estate company, what more could one want?

As for Jiang Tian Sheng, Li Yunfei has never considered his feelings; letting him sit at the table to eat is only out of respect for A Xin's face.

Having realized this, Li Yunfei then said to Li Xin: "A Xin, I will reserve a director's seat for Jiang Tian Sheng, even if his share is tiny."

"Whether I'm a monk or a Buddha, I still have to give you face, right?"

"If we hand over these Causeway Bay parcels to Red Letter Real Estate, then if Huojingliang ever tries to cause trouble with me, I'll just take him down!"

"Haha!"

Li Xin was amused by Li Yunfei's words; it seems Old Li bears a deep grudge against Old Huo!

"How about this: I'll call Mr. Jiang and have him come over to discuss; then we can talk about other matters later."

Jiang Tian Sheng arrived quickly; within five minutes he was in Li Yunfei's office.

Now Jiang Tian Sheng no longer works at the Jiang Group office; he hangs out every day at Red Letter Building, keeping Li Yunfei company.

Whenever Li Yunfei goes out to meet partners, Jiang Tian Sheng is sure to tag along for the fun.

Jiang Tian Sheng pushed open the door, sat beside Li Xin, and teased: "A Xin, why did the Hong Kong Island Immortal Li come to the office today?"

Hmm, this is a new nickname Li Xin has earned over the past year or so.

They say he does nothing productive all day, loafing around like a street bum, even more carefree than an immortal—whether it's a compliment or not?

It all depends on how you interpret it!

Li Xin poured a cup of tea for Jiang Tian Sheng, pushed it toward him, then said: "Brother Sheng, I've secured three-tenths of the Li family's land in Causeway Bay; I want to merge it into Red Letter Real Estate. What do you think?"

Jiang Tian Sheng asked the key question: "How much did you pay for it?"

"Three billion."

"Impossible!"

Jiang Tian Sheng looked stunned, then glanced at Li Xin a few times and quickly added: "Well! If you could get it at that price, it's still possible!"

"What leverage do you have over the Li family that made them fork over all their assets as compensation?"

Li Xin explained to the two: "Do you know that article in the Ming Pao?"

"Yes!"

"It's this matter; it was caused by the Li family's young master. Though it doesn't affect me much, it's infuriating."

"Li Huihuang, to buy me some cooling tea, used the Causeway Bay land as payment for the tea—that's the whole story."

Jiang Tian Sheng said enviously: "How come I never run into such a foolish guy?"

Li Yunfei snorted, curled his lip, and asked: "Even if you did meet him, could you get any benefit from the Li family?"

"Dream on!"

Jiang Tian Sheng didn't mind hearing that; Li Yunfei often gives him a hard time, but whenever attending important events, Li Yunfei always brings him along.

Now he can sit alongside those big tycoons—what more could he want?

What is this?

This is that Jiang Tian Sheng now also has the qualification to sit at the table!

Among the heads of the gangs on Hong Kong Island, each and every one—who has this treatment?

None!

Only he, Jiang Tian Sheng, can now go out and have people call him "Brother Sheng."

Jiang Tian Sheng put his arm around Li Xin's shoulders: "A Xin, without you bringing me along, I wouldn't be where I am today; even if I gave Red Letter Real Estate's shares to you, it's fine—don't talk about diluting shares, as long as you call the shots, I have no objection."

Before Li Xin could speak, Li Yunfei interjected: "Ah Sheng, stop with the cheap talk! Could A Xin even value something like that? It's not enough to stuff between his teeth."

"I called you over today just to let you know: from now on, Red Letter Real Estate will fall under the Red Letter Group."

"Your director's seat at Red Letter Real Estate will be permanently retained; this is A Xin's strong request—if it were up to me, I wouldn't give you any chance to hold a board meeting at all."

Jiang Tian Sheng raised a middle finger at Li Yunfei, laughing and cursing: "Damn! What's my relationship with A Xin?"

"With your loser self, you still want to kick me out? You're just blindly infatuated!"

From their exchange you can see their relationship is actually quite good; otherwise they wouldn't speak so casually.

Li Xin interrupted their chatter, sternly saying: "You two, if you want to flirt and argue, go find a private place—this is Red Letter Building."

"Damn!"

Li Yunfei and Jiang Tian Sheng each gave Li Xin a middle finger?

Li Xin slapped Jiang Tian Sheng's indecent finger down, then he laughed and said: "Since you two have no objections, let's convene a group meeting and settle this."

It just so happens that the Red Xin Group has expanded considerably; we need to subdivide it.

Li Yun Fei nods: "A Xin, Red Xin is indeed too big now; General Manager Huo works over sixteen hours a day, you really should organize the Red Xin Group."

Otherwise I'm afraid General Manager Huo will die young; lately Jimi's dark circles are heavy, even that old guy Lu Bin Sun has aged quite a bit!

Li Yun Fei also sighs: "A Xin, you really have an eye for talent—a financial manager from He Huang, a street vendor, an old man awaiting death in prison, and yet they're all top-notch talent!"

Especially General Manager Huo—his ability is absolutely above mine; with such a huge Red Xin Group and so many miscellaneous trivial matters, he manages everything in perfect order.

No need to mention Lu Bin Sun—everyone knows his background.

But this Jimi Li Jia Yuan—I have to give him a thumbs up; being able to audit and obtain a Bachelor's in Business Administration from HKU, now pursuing a master's degree, he's a diligent genius!
