How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Tu Yong and Shu Yan also hurried to follow...

Only those in the conference room were left, staring at Gu Heng's back, pondering over something...

.....

Outside the conference room, Gu Heng took steps forward while quietly asking Tu Yong.

"Tu Yong, what do you think will be the final share of the profits kept in Yangcheng for reinvestment?"

Listening to Gu Heng's question, Tu Yong thought for a moment and responded, "It should be hard to go below 30%. This kind of profit retention is, in fact, something that various local governments are doing. After all, such continual investment is one of Yangcheng City government's accomplishments, essentially a form of covertly mandatory investment attraction...

With a project of 18.5 billion, the annual profit is close to 10 billion. Such a significant achievement, they won't let it slip away."

Gu Heng nodded at these words and then directly spoke, "Then later connect with Mr. Fu and President Lu we discussed in the meeting just now. I won't attend tomorrow's meeting; I'll leave you to handle it entirely.

Agreeing to the conditions set by the Yangcheng City government is fine, but we must get equal benefits, or else just cancel this collaboration. Anyway, we have only signed an intention contract thus far, at worst we'll lose a few million. Not signing such a draconian contract is no loss.

If it really doesn't work out, I'll directly go to the capital to get land and build my own race track. It's all a matter of spending money."

Tu Yong now couldn't figure out what Gu Heng was thinking...

Before, to secure a larger share of investment, the whole company focused all their energies on this project...

Now, because of one failed negotiation, he's considering giving up on the investment...

This kind of back and forth behavior, who wouldn't be confused?

But no matter what, Gu Heng was his boss. His requests equate to the will of IDE Capital; no matter how unreasonable, the whole company had to execute them unconditionally...

"Rest assured, Mr. Gu, I will discuss with Mr. Fu and President Lu later and come up with a concrete plan to ensure the success of tomorrow's negotiation."

Gu Heng nodded slightly and patted Tu Yong on the shoulder, "Regardless of the outcome this time, your salary is already set at an annual 8 million.

Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

Do well, and when the company establishes a board of directors, I'll offer a share of the equity for employee incentives, and you are definitely my first choice for the board member."

After painting a big picture, Gu Heng waved to the others, "Go do what you need to do. I've got some personal matters to handle, just arrange a driver for me.

Right, Jiang Ruxue is coming with me."@@novelbin@@

Saying this, he sat down in the same extended Bentley Flying Spur he had arrived in...

.....

.....

Half an hour later...

The Bentley Flying Spur stopped at an ordinary shop-front building in Baiyun District...

Gu Heng stepped out of the car with the door opened by the driver, couldn't help but frown and turned to Jiang Ruxue standing respectfully beside him, "Are you sure it's here?"

Jiang Ruxue nodded, "Yes, it's here. I previously suggested setting up the company office in the business district on your behalf, but they rejected it. They said the rent there was too high, beyond what they could afford, insisting on setting up the company here."

"Didn't you tell them I would take care of the registration costs?"

"I did, but still, they were unwilling."

Gu Heng, hearing this, said nothing more and followed Jiang Ruxue to a partially opened rolling shutter door.

Haihua Hengfeng Building Materials Co., Ltd.

Looking at the makeshift sign next to the rolling shutter door, Gu Heng smiled and shook his head...

The name of the company was quite interesting...

They had included a character from each of their names...

Gu Heng had promised to help Li Haibin, Song Hua, and Li Feng make a bit of money and hadn't gone back on his word. Although he hadn't been hands-on, he had arranged for Jiang Ruxue to help them set up the company and handle all affairs. As soon as the Yangcheng International Race Track project kicked off, Gu Heng would directly include their company among the partners...

As the project's major shareholder, designating a small building materials supplier was not an issue...

Though it smelled of nepotism, a small building materials supplier could at most share around ten million in profits from the project, and as long as it didn't affect the quality of the work, no one would make a fuss and trouble him over it...

Thinking of this, Gu Heng walked in with Jiang Ruxue.

Just upon entering, he heard a commotion inside using the Qing'an dialect...

"Four Kings! Solo play!"

"Damn, why do you have bombs every hand? You've learned how to manipulate the deck, haven't you?"

"Get lost, just luck on my side. Hurry up, two bombs double the score, 2 yuan per person, pay up."

As Gu Heng stepped in, Li Haibin, who was busy calling on Song Hua and Li Feng to pay up, suddenly tossed his cards aside and directly said, "Hengzi! How did you find the time to come here?"

Hearing Li Haibin's words, Song Hua and Li Feng also turned around.

Gu Heng was just about to respond with a smile when he noticed Li Haibin's change of face upon seeing Jiang Ruxue by his side, the sudden respect coloring his expression as he continued to greet, "Ms. Jiang."

For a moment, Gu Heng didn't know what to say...

His childhood friends were suddenly showing respect towards his secretary, which he found uncomfortable...

But Gu Heng didn't dwell on it. Instead, he sat down with the group, grinning and saying, "Why'd you stop playing? Come on, count me in. I haven't played landlord in such a long time, my hands are itching for a few rounds."

With that, he began shuffling the cards himself...

But then, Song Hua, jokingly spoke up, "Cut it out, Brother Heng, you are now a big boss worth who knows how much. We're playing for 50-cent stakes here, how can you play with us?"
