The next day, Jiang Che asked his bodyguard to drive him directly to meet Lin Jinye. Upon arriving at the entrance, he got out of the car and walked inside with his bodyguard.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?" As soon as he entered the hall, a waiter approached with a signature smile on his face.
"Hayashi Konno has reserved a box," Jiang Che replied lightly.
"So it's Mr. Lin's guest! Please come this way," the waiter said, leading Jiang Che directly to a box on the sixth floor.
The box spanned more than one hundred square meters. In the center, there was a dining table, and on a sofa beside it sat a man in a suit and leather shoes. In the corner, a screen displayed five women dressed in cheongsams.
The waiter left after Jiang Che entered.
"Boss Lin is really in a good mood..." Jiang Che said jokingly, taking a glance at the beauties.
"Boss Jiang is just being polite; I'm merely cultivating my sentiments," Lin Jinye replied with a smile. "Please, President Jiang, have a seat."
Lin gestured for Jiang Che to sit at the table in the middle. After Jiang Che took his seat, Lin shouted, "Let's dance!"
The women in front of the screen began to dance gracefully. After some polite conversation, Jiang Che decided to get straight to the point. "What did you call me here to discuss, Mr. Lin?"
"What else could it be? Isn't it about land planning?" Lin Jinye laughed.
"Why did you suddenly think of me for such a good thing? I'm not that familiar with you, Mr. Lin," Jiang Che replied, glancing at him skeptically.
"President Jiang is joking. Let's enjoy the dance first," Lin said, intending to change the subject.
"You can watch the dance anytime, but Mr. Lin should discuss business with me," Jiang Che insisted.
"All right..." Lin Jinye nodded, signaling for the dancers to stop and exit the room. After a moment of hesitation, he said slowly, "Didn't Mr. Jiang want to cooperate with my Dalong Group? I've already built that school, and it's been renovated."
"However, we have yet to win the auctions for the surrounding land, so I would like to ask Mr. Jiang for assistance."
"Is there a problem with your cash flow?" Jiang Che frowned, feeling a hint of doubt. After all the back-and-forth, it turned out this guy was just asking to borrow money?
"It's not a problem of cash flow," Lin Jinye replied, shaking his head. "The rights to use the wasteland near the school are held by the Su Group."
"Mr. Jiang, you've always cooperated with the Su Group. I was hoping you could put in a good word for me."
"I, Lin Jinye, am willing to pay a high price for that piece of land!"
"How large is the land?"
"And how many communities do you plan to build?" Jiang Che asked, taking a sip of tea.
"One hundred thousand square meters; I plan to build a luxury community," Lin Jinye said with a smile.
"One hundred thousand? Do you think the Su Group will sell that land to you?" Jiang Che replied, frowning in disbelief. Su Qingyue wasn't foolish; how could she agree to such a deal? Since she had auctioned off the land, she certainly recognized its commercial value.
Lin Jinye might have thought of building a school and surrounding community to profit, but so would she! The big deal would be to construct a new school nearby, and once it was built, it would simply generate income.
"How will you know unless you try? That's why I invited you, Mr. Jiang. Don't you plan to enter the real estate market soon? This could be the first step of your plan," Lin said, maintaining a friendly demeanor.
"I can find a chance to try..." Jiang Che replied ambiguously, "but I can't guarantee it
will be successful."
"Then thank you, Mr. Jiang. I'll toast to you," Lin Jinye said, pouring a glass of wine for both of them. He didn't expect Jiang Che to succeed, but the main reason for his visit today was to make Jiang Che his ally.
After all, he had heard of Jiang Che's accomplishments, defeating all his competitors in Jiangbei City. Lin had a keen sense that Jiang Che was not an ordinary person!
After eating and drinking, Jiang Che bid farewell to Lin Jinye and exited Restaurant. The bodyguard drove him directly toward the Su Group.
On the way, Jiang Che used his internal force to dissipate some of the alcohol, and his head became clearer. He opened the window of the Maybach's back seat, enjoying the evening breeze while contemplating his next steps.
In the plot of Huadu Soldier King, alongside the heroine Bai Huamei, there was a major villain, serving as a transition for Ye Chen's arc in Jiangbei. He needed to find an opportunity to meet this character. After all, the system hadn't issued any tasks yet, and
without them, he had no way to earn plot points.
