Chapter 1270: I'll Perform a Magic Trick for You!

"Honey, there's something I want to discuss with you. Recently, Mingcheng has been wanting to invest in a real estate project in Runzhou. He recently brought on some powerful investors."

Shen Minghan knew that He Haiyang was principled when it came to work, but since her younger brother had come to her for help, she still tried to sound out her husband.

He Haiyang's reaction was within Shen Minghan's expectations; his tone became serious.

"Isn't Mingcheng doing quite well in Qiongjin? Why does he want to come to Runzhou to develop? I work in Runzhou; if he comes here to invest, it will inevitably be criticized."

Shen Minghan explained, "Him taking land and investing in Runzhou isn't that also helping you build your political achievements? Mingcheng is especially motivated now. The industry he's in in Qiongjin, to put it bluntly, is still a bit unsavory."

"Real estate is the most profitable right now, and he wants to try to change himself."

"You always said you wanted to encourage him and support him, so why are you going back on your word now?"

He Haiyang was left speechless by his wife's words. "If he wants to invest, I certainly won't stop him, but I won't support it with great fanfare either. Besides, there are local forces in Runzhou. I'm a newcomer, and my position isn't stable yet. If he rushes in and tries to take a piece of someone else's cake, it's easy to provoke dissatisfaction. How about this: I'll have someone contact him later."

After hanging up on Shen Minghan, He Haiyang took a business card from his drawer and dialed the number.

"Is this President Lian? This is He Haiyang."

"Secretary He, hello!" Lian Kaisheng realized who it was, his tone very excited.

"President Lian, the city held a meeting yesterday. This May, a piece of land near the Municipal Government is going to be put up for tender. Your company is very capable. I think highly of you."

Lian Kaisheng said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Secretary He. We will definitely prepare well and strive to win this plot of land and make it a high-quality project."

He Haiyang nodded slightly. "As far as I know, your competitors are very strong."

Lian Kaisheng caught He Haiyang's hint. "I ask that Minister He please offer some guidance."

He Haiyang laughed. "I will certainly support you. However, just talking about support is useless. I suggest you increase your own strength. How about this: I know a friend who is interested in developing in Runzhou. I suggest you join forces with him."

Lian Kaisheng frowned, but quickly realized what was meant and said with a smile, "Minister He, I am someone who really likes making new friends. To be honest, the real estate industry is so hot right now; if there's money to be made, we should all make it together."

He Haiyang mused that Lian Kaisheng understood the ways of the world, so he began to paint a big picture for him. "President Lian, you are a person with vision; you will surely be able to grow stronger and stronger in the future."

Lian Kaisheng quickly said, "That wouldn't be possible without your support and guidance."

Not long after, Lian Kaisheng's phone received a number.

Lian Kaisheng dialed it.

"Boss Fang, hello, this is Lian Kaisheng. I was introduced by Secretary He. When are you free? Let's meet."

Fang Hong glanced at Shen Mingcheng not far away and said with a smile, "President Lian, I'm free anytime. How about tonight? I'll come to visit you!"

Lian Kaisheng nodded and said, "Alright, then tonight. I'll wait for you in Runzhou."

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Runzhou, Jinling Hotel.

Fang Hong walked into the private room.

Lian Kaisheng walked over and extended his hand. "Boss Fang, hello."

Fang Hong shook hands with Lian Kaisheng. "President Lian, hello."

Fang Hong introduced Shen Mingcheng, who was beside him, to Lian Kaisheng. "This is my partner, Mr. Shen."

Lian Kaisheng felt that Fang Hong's tone toward Shen Mingcheng was somewhat unusual, and he shook hands with Shen Mingcheng. "Mr. Shen, hello, welcome!"

Shen Mingcheng mused that Lian Kaisheng clearly didn't know his background and had mistaken Fang Hong for the key figure.

This was also Shen Mingcheng's goal.

He hid himself behind the scenes and pushed Fang Hong to the forefront.

This could better protect himself.

At the same time, adding an air of mystery could also better allow him to show off...

After sitting down, Lian Kaisheng ordered the waiter to open the wine.

Lian Kaisheng picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "President Fang, I will need your help a lot in the future."

Fang Hong quickly picked up his glass and clinked it with Lian Kaisheng's. "President Lian, I believe our cooperation will be very smooth."

After the dinner ended.

Lian Kaisheng saw his guests off, and his eyes, which had been slightly tipsy, became clear.

He instructed his Secretary, "Go and investigate that man surnamed Shen!"

The Secretary looked at Lian Kaisheng strangely. "Is there a problem with him?"

Lian Kaisheng said vigilantly, "Every time Fang Hong speaks, he observes the expression and reaction of the man surnamed Shen. If I'm not mistaken, the man surnamed Shen is the key figure."

The Secretary nodded slightly. "I'll go investigate immediately."

About an hour later, the Secretary reported the results to Lian Kaisheng.

"President Lian, your intuition is amazing. This Mr. Shen really has an extraordinary status. His name is Shen Mingcheng, and Secretary He is his brother-in-law."

A look of surprise flashed in Lian Kaisheng's eyes, and he exclaimed, "No wonder Secretary He made such an arrangement. I was originally a bit worried about this cooperation. If Secretary He's brother-in-law is involved, then I can rest easy. Hurry up and prepare the contract; we'll sign it tomorrow."

The Secretary nodded. "Okay, I'll go prepare it right away."

The next morning, Fang Hong was woken up by a call from Lian Kaisheng.

"Boss Fang, good morning!"

Fang Hong took a deep breath. "President Lian, good morning!"

Lian Kaisheng laughed: "We had an in-depth understanding last night, and I felt like we were old friends at first sight. You are interested in investing in Runzhou, and we also need a capable partner, so I suggest we sign the agreement as soon as possible and work together. How about it?"

Fang Hong didn't expect Lian Kaisheng to be so straightforward, and said with a smile, "Alright, when?"

Lian Kaisheng said, "How about this afternoon?"

Fang Hong thought for a moment. "I'll get back to you later."

Lian Kaisheng knew that Fang Hong had to consult with Shen Mingcheng, and he didn't point it out. "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Fang Hong then dialed Shen Mingcheng's number.

"Mr. Shen, Lian Kaisheng has already agreed; we are going to get rich together."

Shen Mingcheng rolled over and sat up, his eyes full of excitement, "Next, we look for investment."

Fang Hong asked in surprise, "Investment requires a lot of money, doesn't it?"

The corners of Shen Mingcheng's mouth curled up, "Don't worry, I'll perform a magic trick for you."

Fang Hong did not understand the first thing about how capital operation models worked.

Shen Mingcheng, however, had his eye on exactly this point.

With an agreement and a project, why worry about not having money?

In the afternoon, Fang Hong and Lian Kaisheng signed the cooperation agreement.

Afterward, Shen Mingcheng dialed the phone number of a bank president.

"President Zhu, this is Shen Mingcheng. I have a project I'd like to discuss with you."

President Zhu had once been a colleague of Chen Lan and was also clear on Shen Mingcheng's background and past.

He knew that people like Shen Mingcheng, even with a criminal record, were like a starved camel that is still bigger than a horse; by switching tracks, they could still make a name for themselves...

"Very well, I shall await your arrival at my office!"

"How about we choose a more relaxed place? I'll treat you to coffee!"
