Chapter 588: Arranging Li Da Xiong, Liu Guangtian

After settling the Siheyuan matter, Yang Qing began to discuss the main issue.

Li Da Xiong and Liu Guangtian also felt that their opportunity had arrived.

"Nan Yi and He Yuzhu's matter, you have also seen."

"Then I'll speak plainly."

"I have helped them both; I cannot watch you suffer a hard life."

"This is how I've arranged it; let me know what you think."

"As for Da Xiong, he's been mixing in the real estate industry for many years."

"I want you to step out and establish your own business."

"If you can manage it, you manage it; if you cannot manage it, my people will first help you manage it, and when you feel capable, I will find a way to let you grasp control."

"Residential buildings, Jingcheng already has three major companies; even if there are changes in the future, at most a few more commodity housing development companies will appear, and Honghai's position should remain unchanged."

"In front of these three adopted sons, I feel that you have no future in this line of work."

"So, I want you to go into commercial real estate development."

"The first project is what I mentioned in the compound: hall and garden development."

"There is also a comprehensive shopping mall project."

"Funds will be settled through my investment company; once the project starts making a profit, you need to work out a redemption plan."

"The earlier the redemption, the lower the cost; however, the investment company's initial return is tenfold."

"Starting redemption after ten years, each additional year requires an extra return of twice the principal."

"That is to say, if you borrow one hundred million, after ten years you must redeem the company's shares with one billion; for each year overdue, you must pay an additional two hundred million. After twenty years, it is three times the principal."

"Don't look at me; this is still a preferential price, while overseas venture capital's asking price is very high."

"With nothing to your name, you cannot get any money; even if you did, the terms would be very harsh, and most shares would belong to others."

"We are sworn brothers; I'll settle accounts clearly—I can help you, but I won't give you a safety net."

"What you achieve in the future is entirely up to you."

"Moreover, you are cooperating with Gangdao Real Estate; for this project, the required funds will be split equally."

"One share for Gangdao Real Estate, one share for Jingcheng, and one share for you."

"In Jingcheng, they will likely contribute land as equity; the more they invest, the larger their share, and the less they invest, the larger your share."

"By the time policies loosen later, you will have learned enough; if you want to go out on your own, go out on your own; if you don't want to go out on your own, then strive to lead new projects and gain more benefits from them."

Li Da Xiong's head buzzed, with sums of hundreds of millions popping up, and the interest was too high, multiples upon multiples.

It's terrifying.

He felt as if Qingge'er was scheming against him, but that didn't seem right; it seemed he hadn't contributed anything.

Only one person came out, and the money was all provided by others.

Moreover, they took over all company affairs, handling everything.

Clearly, they spent their own money and handled it themselves.

This made him look like a freeloader.

If he can't repay in the future, well, he might as well give up everything.

He himself would lose nothing.

So, Qingge'er, should not have been scheming against himself.

If he fails, he loses nothing but a few years of time.

Success? He dare not imagine it—Qingge'er's mouth often mentions hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions, which could not be less.

Get it done—whether a person dies facing up or not, if they don't die, they'll last forever.

"Alright, Qingge'er, however you say it, I'll do it."

Yang Qing nodded and at the same time became solemn.

"Saying that, I'm pleased, but from now on you cannot treat others with that attitude."

"In the future you will encounter all sorts of ill‑intentioned people; you must think twice before acting, and when you meet a highly profitable industry, with its flowery promises, you must be all the more cautious."

"The probability of being schemed against is one hundred percent."

"When you encounter such a thing, you should first ask yourself: they have such a good opportunity, why don't they bring their own relatives to profit instead of bringing you?"

"Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it will never be enough for others to cheat you."

"Think about my investment: with such high interest, are you a scapegoat, earning money that all goes to others, and will you end up bearing huge debt from being schemed against by others?"

"Remember, when others invest they certainly want to make money; if you have nothing, they will absolutely not invest in you."

"Unless you are very capable and also put all your own wealth into it, they will only make a small investment, hoping for a chance."

"Don't believe in free lunches; even I will only help you this once."

Yang Qing spoke with bitter‑sweet earnestness; Li Da Xiong listened with trepidation—who knew there was another big pit ahead, where others profit while he ends up in jail?

If Yang Qing hadn't said it, he truly wouldn't have thought of it.

At that time, people's hearts were still rather simple.

"Understood, Qingge'er; if it weren't for what you said, others wanting me to resign would be impossible—I'm not that ambitious, so following you gives me a bit more courage."

Yang Qing nodded with relief; if it were another person, they would only think Yang Qing was talking nonsense, but Li Da Xiong did not see it that way.

Afterward, Yang Qing looked toward Liu Guangtian.

"Guangtian, how are your collecting endeavors these days?"

Liu Guangtian gave an embarrassed laugh.

"Just occasional play, not like others who go out shopping every day."

"Poor eyesight, often misjudging."

Yang Qing looked at him amusedly.

In the past two years, amid the craze for Red One and monkey tickets, Liu Guangtian has already made a fortune.

He doesn't believe he cares about this matter; he's not paying attention.

He also gave him a lesson in humility.

"Since you're good at this, you might as well take a paid leave."

"Yang Tian really likes these; he will stay in Jingcheng for a while."

"You two just play together."

"I'll invest in your collecting; calm down and learn from capable people."

"I'll also get some authentication techniques from abroad for you to study."

"If you pull this off, it'll be enough to last you several lifetimes."

"Friendship Store has plenty of good stuff; let Yang Tian take you to pick out some precious items."

"There's also Xin tuo shang dian and the Cultural Relics Store; you can go treasure hunting there too."

"If it's good, buy it with confidence."

"When Da Xiong helped me look at houses, check if that courtyard has a basement—good for hiding treasure and not easy to attract thieves."

"From now on, that place will be your base."

"Also, go to Liuli Factory to find a shopfront, where you can treasure hunt and handle purchasing and selling."

Liu Guangtian heard he was supposed to specialize in collecting and felt a bit guilty.

"I can't; I'm a half-baked amateur—I'll surely be cheated."

"Now the antiques scene in Jingcheng is different from before, with many swindlers."

"Slip up, and you'll fall for their tricks."

Yang Qing doesn't care.

"Then study; I'll fund it—find experts at the museum to learn from."

"Also hire some expert teachers to give you lessons and guide you."

"Also find a history expert to study history systematically; the deeper your historical knowledge, the less likely you'll be fooled in antiques."

"Ming dynasty porcelain—something the Song dynasty could never produce."

"Qing dynasty enamel work also wouldn't appear on Ming porcelain."

"With my support, you just need to study seriously."

"By the way, also bring along my son."

Their family still has many treasures.

Find a time; let Comrade Xi Xian send some people to help dig it out—give them whatever they want.

The rest is also enough to cause trouble for my own son.
