Chapter 325: He's Worth This Much Money

This is the foundation of cooperation.

Wu An is absolutely unyielding on this point.

He also didn't hide anything, speaking frankly about his bottom line; as for whether Gao Qiangqi and Qin Zong will still invest, that's up to them.

As for Gao Qiangqi and Qin Zong not investing in him, would he do it himself?

Then this...

What can he do?

Really, there's nothing he can do but just watch.

At worst, in the future they'll just go their separate ways, and as for peers being enemies, that's a story for later.

Of course.

He is unwilling to do that.

But once some words are spoken, they're like spilled water—cannot be taken back.

So.

Only Gao Qiangqi and Qin Zong would specially seek an opportunity to discuss this matter, because if the talks go badly, not only can they not do business, they can't even remain friends.

Gao Qiangqi shrugged: 'Fine, I'll give you one million yuan; I only want the share dividends, and I won't interfere in anything else.'

Put simply.

He indeed has that spare cash on hand, and besides, he wants to help Wu An.

Another factor is that he also thinks well of Wu An's homestay project; he's been out and about, quite worldly, and has heard some rumors.

Wu An smiled and looked toward Qin Zong.

Gao Qiangqi really is his good elder brother; from the start, when he wanted to do the homestay, others didn't understand, but only Gao Qiangqi fully approved, thinking it had potential.

Now, it's not just talk; he's putting real money into the investment.

To say he isn't moved would be false.

Sincerity begets sincerity; everyone benefits, making money together and getting rich is also a good thing.

Qin Zong hesitated a bit.

He and Gao Qiangqi are friends, but not of the same ilk; Gao Qiangqi puts brotherly loyalty first, while he puts business interests first.

Seeking Wu An to invest in the homestay, he first approached Gao Qiangqi to act as an intermediary.

Before, he had originally planned to talk to Wu An himself about this, but that time Wu An got drunk, and afterward he also couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

After thinking it over, he just went to Gao Qiangqi to act as an intermediary.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiangqi said it was also a coincidence; he too planned to invest.

Qin Zong could see that Gao Qiangqi was helping Wu An secure a position, indirectly telling him not to have any twisted thoughts and to avoid harming his younger brother.

He coughed twice and said, 'A An, I've had someone look it over; the startup funds for your current setup are likely around four to five million.'

'Like Boss Gao, I'll also invest one million, asking for a 20% share.'

Wu An shook his head: 'A 10% share.'

'The current setup is just the first phase; there will be a second and third phase later.'

'Brother Qiang, you're the same; I'll give you a 10% share.'

Gao Qiangqi nodded.

Qin Zong frowned: 'A An, I didn't expect you to have such big ambitions.'

Wu An said: 'Brother Qiang also said, it's the windfall.'

'I'm standing right on the windfall now.'

'Doing it big is what lets you fly higher and farther.'

Qin Zong laughed: 'You're just talking big...'

Gao Qiangqi said: 'Qin Zong, to be frank, I think this person Wu An is worth one million!'

Wu An grinned.

Brother Qiang helped him set the ratio, so he didn't need to add anything else.

Qin Zong clicked his tongue inwardly, 'Damn, that sounds too much like a liar.'

If he hadn't come to them voluntarily, he would suspect this was a trap set by Gao Qiangqi and Wu An.

He drank a cup of tea.

Qin Zong put down the teacup and said, 'Fine, I'll take this deal.'

'Then have the contract drafted; let's sign it as soon as possible.'

'Okay.'

Gao said: 'Let's get rich together.'

'Let's get rich together.'

'Using tea in place of wine.'

'Bullshit.' Qin Zong shouted: 'We have to celebrate!'

'Okay.'

'Future cooperation...'

'Damn, settle the score.' Qin Zong laughed and scolded: 'This meal is on me.'

Wu An was in high spirits.

He felt the pressure from the money suddenly dissipate a lot.

With Gao Qiangqi and Qin Zong joining, aside from the financial pressure, the most important thing is future development; with their help, he believes it will be much easier.

Gao Qiangqi didn't say more; Qin Zong runs a restaurant, and his connections are even broader than Gao Qiangqi's.

In society.

As for worldly wisdom and the importance of personal connections, there's no need to say more.

Food and drink are good.

Wu An came home again with a flushed face.

During this time he really drank a lot, but there was nothing to be done; frankly, he truly wanted to go out to sea.

Not just for making money, he felt that going out to sea to fish, although a bit hard, was very relaxed and comfortable, without needing to worry about worldly affairs.

Returned home.

Did not return to the old house.

Listening to his sister-in-law's nagging, he fell into a deep sleep drunk.

……

After waking up, seeing that the sky was still not dark, he took out his phone to check; it was 3:30 p. m., he had slept for two hours, already had enough sleep.

He drank alcohol at noon, but not too much.

Seeing a teacup on the side table, he picked it up and drank.

After drinking a cup of water, his whole body felt much more comfortable.

Got up.

Went out.

His sister-in-law was preparing dinner, picking vegetables; three meals a day, the family can go without meat, but there must always be a leafy vegetable dish.

Wu An sat down to help and chatted casually with his sister-in-law.

His sister-in-law didn't ask much about him not coming home yesterday and staying in the county with Gu Anran.

Not long after.

Wu Yingwei actually came back.

Wu An also explained the situation; Wu Yingwei nodded: 'That's fine, even though the weather will be bad tomorrow, the day is still a good one.'

'Anyway, everything that needed to be prepared is ready.'

'Let's meet tomorrow.'

'You've already bought the hardware, so let's directly discuss the engagement and set the date.'

Wu An said: 'I'll leave this up to you.'

'No rush to get married.'

'Wait until I finish building the house.'

Wu Yingwei glanced at him: 'You'd better hurry; you said you'd get married after building the house, but you haven't even seen a brick yet.'

Wu An looked toward his sister-in-law.

This time his sister-in-law didn't take his side: 'What Dad said is also right.'

'Are you planning to demolish the old house and build a new one, or like A Qing, buy a new homestead in the village?'

Wu An said: 'I haven't decided yet.'

Wu Yingwei pointed at him.

His sister-in-law also looked speechless: 'Then you'd better think about it quickly.'

Actually, either is fine.

Nowadays, young people in the village all move out; the vacant homesteads in the village are increasing, and if you want to buy one, it won't cost much.

Originally he planned to demolish the old house and rebuild, but the old house's area is too small—only over three hundred square meters—cannot accommodate the large villa he wants to build.

He asked: 'Whose homestead is next to our old house?'

Wu Yingwei said: 'What do you want to do?'

'I want to buy it and build a large villa; I had someone design a villa, the building footprint alone takes up seven to eight hundred square meters, and with all the extras it adds up to over a thousand square meters.'

'I want to buy the neighboring homestead.'

Wu Yingwei was stunned by his words, a villa over a thousand square meters?

He shook his head and said: 'Don't even think about it; it belongs to Wu Yingjin, he would never sell it to anyone, let alone you.'
