Chapter 2076: Lure for gain
He chuckled: "There are countless projects like this in the entire Panlong Wasteland and Maohe Plain."
"Countless" was an exaggeration. But it didn't matter, he knew Xin Yi, this person would never personally study each project one by one.
Is it just Xin Yi who paints a rosy picture for him? He Lingchuan can also paint a rosy picture for him, and he is also good at it.
Xin Yi couldn't help but raise his eyelids and said, "I have discussed with you before the management access of the mine forestry industry, but you didn't agree and kept it very secret."
Lingshan once hoped that Panlong City would release some of the development and operation rights of its ground resources, such as mines, forestry, lakes, warehouses, etc. One reason was that some people in Lingshan also wanted to get a piece of the pie, and the other was that there was too much work and Panlong City certainly could not finish it all by itself, so it would be better to subcontract it out and everyone would be happy.
But Panlong City did not nod. Until now, they are all officially operated.
So, even if these public projects make money, what does it have to do with Lingshan?
"Panlong City has a special history. Panlong City will definitely not transfer the operating rights of these public facilities." He Lingchuan told him to give up the idea right away, but he also opened another window for him, "But it doesn't matter. Lingshan can invest in shares and enjoy regular dividends."
"Invest...acquire shares?" Xin Yi pondered over these words carefully.
He Lingchuan also gave him time.
After a few breaths, Xin Yi suddenly realized: "You mean, let Lingshan invest money in these public projects...dividend rights?"
In other words, Panlong City does not allow people from Lingshan to come in, but wants to let Lingshan's money in.
"As expected of Mr. Xin!" He Lingchuan gave him a thumbs up, "Talking to smart people is easy!"
Compared to Xin Yi's age, this man is really rare to have a quick mind and open thinking. He Lingchuan even admires him a little.
It stands to reason that people become more stubborn and rigid in their thinking as they age. It is not easy for him to maintain such an open mind.
"You...hahaha!" Xin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Who on earth came up with this?"
It turns out that Panlong City not only doesn't want to give money to Lingshan, but also wants to take money out of Lingshan!
After hearing this, wouldn't the stubborn people in Lingshan be so angry that they would jump up and down? Unfortunately, he was not in Lingshan, so he couldn't see their arrogance.
It's a pity.
He Lingchuan waved his hand: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, be serious, this can be said to be 'cooperation is beneficial to both sides'!"
Xin Yi finally stopped laughing and coughed a few times: "Okay, tell me, try to impress me."
Only if you impress him, there is a chance of success in this matter.
"The first benefit is that it will last for a long time." He Lingchuan really explained it to him, "Panlong City can only pay out 900 kilograms of high-quality black crystals every year. Even if Mr. Xin negotiates with Panlong City, the fluctuation of this number will not be too big. Commander Zhong is a man of his word and rarely changes his mind. You know that too."
Even if Xin Yi had a lot of mouths and held three or four more rounds of negotiations, he would not be able to turn 900 kilograms into 1,800 kilograms.
And to be honest, 1,800 kilograms of high-quality black crystals are not a lot for Lingshan, as those old monsters are all big energy consumers.
"We naturally hope to maintain our relationship with Lingshan, but if this matter cannot be salvaged, Panlong City will find other ways." He Lingchuan said softly, "The worst case scenario is nothing more than returning to the past. The bones and muscles of the people of Panlong City are tempered by wind and frost, and they can get through the hard and tiring days."
The foundation of the people of Panlong City gives him the confidence to speak like this.
This is not a threat, it is a statement of fact, so his attitude is calm and matter-of-fact.
Once Panlong City and Lingshan fall out, both sides will suffer heavy losses.
Apart from anything else, Lingshan’s subsequent plans for fighting against the demons will definitely be greatly affected.
Moreover, Panlong City is a rare force that can grow and develop tenaciously on its own without any support from Lingshan. Lingshan could not afford to support two or three of them in the past, so it is natural to cherish them now.
Well, this probably proves the saying:
Talents are useful but not easy to use, while slaves are easy to use but cannot be used.
The more capable and talented a person is, the more temperamental and demands he has, and the more difficult it is for Lingshan to control him.
"Panlong City has already done the calculations. The money invested in these public projects will have good returns in the long run. Assuming I invest one million taels of silver now, the average annual return in the next two years will be at least 35%, and it may fall back to less than 25% after three or four years. If the time is extended to fifteen years, the direct income will decrease but the dividends will increase. On average, the annual return will be at least more than 10%, and it is very likely to exceed 15%."
He Lingchuan said earnestly: "Mr. Xin is a wise man, and he can calculate the accounts clearly. Think about it carefully, where else in the world can you get such long-term and stable returns?"
The average annual increase is 15%, which means in 15 years...
Of course Xin Yi would settle this account. But he had one thing in mind that he couldn't say:
Can Panlong City last for fifteen years?
But he couldn't ask, because He Lingchuan would immediately retort: "Why not?"
Panlong City has stood here, withstanding the attacks of Xian Youbaling for more than 20 years. Moreover, the days are getting better and better, the people's hearts are getting more stable, and the army is getting stronger and stronger. Why can't it hold out for another 20 or 40 years?
If so, the algorithm given by He Lingchuan may be valid.
"The rapid development of a region often brings extremely high dividends." He Lingchuan continued to persuade him, "Mr. Xin is well-informed and should know that such opportunities are rare. If you don't join in now, how can you enjoy the development dividends of the most prosperous years?"
He also knew that Lingshan would definitely think the investment period was too long.
It doesn’t matter, he just highlights the super high returns in the early stage.
Lingshan would think, why not make money in the first three or four years? This is the period with the highest wave, and making enough money is like eating the most delicious fish. The remaining part of the fish tail, they can withdraw the investment at any time to avoid risks.
"More importantly, there is no cap on the annual dividends, and it is definitely not limited to a mere 1,000 kilograms of top-grade black crystals." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Mr. Xin knows the development of Panlong Territory better than anyone else in Lingshan. From the perspective of actual income, this is actually the source of income, which will flow for a long time."
He leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "If I were Mr. Xin, whether Lingshan would invest or not, I would definitely invest some myself."
Xin Yi smiled slightly.
This guy boasted that he could make a huge profit, but the premise of "making a huge profit" was that he had to pay out the capital first. And the more he paid out, the more profit he would make in the future.
"You are a very eloquent boy." Xin Yi sighed, "What you said just now really moved me, but that's just me; those old guys in Lingshan won't listen at all. This matter is not something I can decide on my own. If you don't have a more powerful argument..."
He shook his head.
He Lingchuan immediately understood his hidden meaning:
Was Xin Yi really moved? Perhaps a little, but not much. Just talking about "profit" could not really move him, and it was not worth it for him to go to Lingshan to fight for Panlong City.
This may be because, although the pie that He Lingchuan drew for Panlong City was round and beautiful, the top was still a little small for Lingshan. Lingshan still didn't get what he wanted most.
Okay, the part of “luring with benefits” is over, and He Lingchuan has to explain the reason to them next.
