Chapter 25 Happy Cooperation
"This is just a draft contract. The final terms of cooperation will, of course, be implemented based on the terms we finally negotiated.
I understand what Miss Yun means. 5% of the profit share is too little. I can make the decision and give Miss Yun two more points. After all, Lu created the design drawings for the construction team and bear the labor costs. The entire project construction is also a considerable expense. I hope Miss Yun can understand.
"Of course, I understand Mr. Lu's difficulties very well, so I also proposed another way of cooperation.
I will not invest in the company through the land, but I can develop the business with the Lu family, and I will personally bear all the development costs of my land.
This piece of land and its buildings still belong to me. The Lu family only needs to pay me a certain amount of rent every year, and they can use or transform this land without any worries.
I don't even need to be paid dividends; isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Hearing Yun Zijin's words, Lu Yunque frowned slightly. If they had to pay rent every year, it would mean that they would have one more expense during the project development period.
The amount of money Lu has invested in the entire resort is fixed. If there is an additional rent, they will have to re-coordinate the money for project development, which is not difficult.
"What is the rent Miss Yun has in mind?"
"I won't take advantage of you. I also have a piece of land in the southern suburbs, which is about half the size of this piece of land in the western suburbs.
The annual rent of that piece of land is 6 billion yuan, and I will give you 12 billion yuan per year for this piece of land in the western suburbs. Before the project is completed, I will give you a 10% discount, 10.8 billion yuan per year. 10.8 billion is for you to make; this number is auspicious, isn't it generous?"
Yun Zijin felt she was a kind and good landlord because she gave them a discount.
Wow, he asked for 10 billion right away. Lu Yunque had to admire Yun Zijin's way of thinking.
She doesn't want shares; she only wants to collect rent. Should he praise her and say that she is worthy of you?
"Miss Yun's words are admirable. If I give you the 10 billion, I don't need to develop this project."
The project collapsed midway due to lack of funding.
"It's also possible to collect it once a quarter. Three billion a quarter, 90% off, is 2.7 billion. It shouldn't be impossible to get it out, right?"
Yun Zijin gave Lu Yunque an expression that said, "No way, no way! The Lu Group can't even come up with 2.7 billion!"
I've already given you four installments; what else do you want?
"Let me think about it."
Lu Yunque began to calculate quickly, wondering whether it would be more cost-effective to let Yun Zijin invest in the company with the land or pay him rent yearly.
Most importantly, if Yun Zijin leases the land to Lu's company, they must pay Yun Zijin at least one quarter's rent.
Even if Yun Zijin gave a 10% discount, 2.7 billion is still not a small amount.
However, after conducting a series of analyses and calculations in his brain, Lu Yunque finally determined that paying Yun Zijin's rent yearly was relatively more cost-effective for the Lu family.
However, the rental period needs to be carefully discussed.
"I can agree to your condition, but it must be clearly stated in the contract that the Lu family has the priority right to lease this land.
You cannot rent the land to others until Lu has given up the lease."
This must be included; otherwise, when the lease contract expires, Yun Zijin will say, "I won't rent it out anymore," and they will suffer a huge loss.
"Yes, but if you are overdue for 15 days or more when the rent is due, I have the right to take back the land and rent it out again."
She could give them the right of priority to lease the land, but there had to be corresponding restrictive conditions. Otherwise, if Lu refused to lease the land and did not clearly state that they gave up the lease, she couldn't just leave such a large piece of land idle.
Lu Yunque had no objection to Yun Zijin's request.
Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque argued for more than an hour about the requirements of the lease contract before it was finally over.
Looking at the freshly made lease contract in his hand, Yun Zijin's face showed a very happy expression.
It's another day to collect rent~
"Ms. Yun, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Lu Yunque stood up and extended his hand to Yun Zijin. "Happy cooperation!"
Yun Zijin also raised his hand to hold Lu Yunque's hand generously.
When Yun Zijin's hand came up, Lu Yunque subconsciously clenched it, feeling the soft and boneless touch in the palm of his hand. Lu Yunque felt something strange in his heart, but the feeling quickly disappeared, and Lu Yunque himself did not notice it.
After about a second or two, they let go of each other's hands.
"It's time to get off work. If Miss Yun doesn't mind, I'll host you to celebrate our successful cooperation?"
Yun Zijin looked at the time. It was a few minutes past 12 o'clock, just in time for lunch.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Yun Zijin had a good impression of Lu Yunque and was not opposed to him treating her to a meal.
Moreover, from the few times they spent together, Yun Zijin could also feel that Lu Yunque was very orderly.
"Then... Liuxian Pavilion? Their Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is pretty good."
When Yun Zijin heard about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, his eyes lit up.
Everyone in China knows Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but few authentic versions exist.
Since Lu Yunque said it's good, it's probably the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
"I'm unfamiliar with this place; I'll listen to you."
"Then let's go. It's only 10 minutes' drive. It's not far."
Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque took the elevator down to the underground parking lot of Lu's Building.
"I drove here. Tell Mr. Lu the address, and I'll drive over myself."
Next to Yun Zijin's car was the Suibianhua brand nanny car, driven by Lingyi and his friends. Everyone was in the car.
"I'll send the location... I just remembered that I don't have Miss Yun's WeChat yet. It's unreasonable that I don't have Miss Yun's WeChat after meeting her so many times."
Yun Zijin laughed, took out his mobile phone, opened his identity QR code, and handed it to Lu Yunque.
"It is an honor for ordinary people like me to be able to add Mr. Lu's WeChat."
Yun Zijin agreed to Lu Yunque's friend request, and the other party quickly sent a location.
"Yes, Miss Yun, who could spend 5 billion to snatch the land from me, is quite ordinary."
Lu Yunque was very good at making this reverse comment.
Regarding the land-grabbing incident, Yun Zijin touched his nose and laughed dryly: "Aren't we going to have dinner? I'm going to drive!"
After saying that, she took small steps and ran towards Bing Meifen, still very conspicuous among the luxury cars.
Lu Yunque waited for Yun Zijin to drive before following Lingyi and their nanny's car out of the parking lot.
Liuxian Pavilion is considered a time-honored brand in the Imperial Capital. Not only the private rooms but even the seats in the lobby outside must be reserved based on quick hands.
Lu Yunque was a regular here. As soon as he came in, someone came to greet him and was able to recognize his identity accurately.
It was the first time Yun Zijin had eaten in such a high-end place, but she remained calm. After all, she was now a wealthy woman who could afford to eat in high-end restaurants.
