Lin Feng originally intended to inform the fat guys that they needed to buy the entire Xinxin Building to establish a large market and let them negotiate with the owner. However, now that he was aware of the conflict between the owner of Xinxin Building and Song Gang, Lin Feng decided to abandon that plan. He didn't want to involve the fat guys in this struggle; after all, if they provoked Song Gang's hostility, it would undoubtedly lead to the powerful Song Family wiping them out completely.
This was something Lin Feng had to consider.
Therefore, Lin Feng could only go by himself and talk directly with the owner of Xinxin Building.
Due to the deteriorating relationship with Song Gang, Lin Feng had to handle almost everything personally. Li Zhong couldn't show his face on that side, and they also feared that involving the fat guys might bring trouble, so they couldn't appear either.
Since he couldn't let the fat guys handle this matter, Lin Feng saw no need to go to school. He randomly found a place and dialed the owner's number for Xinxin Building.
"Hello, good day." The call was quickly answered.
"Hello, is this Mr. Dong?" The other party's tone was pleasant, so Lin Feng naturally responded politely.
"Yes, I am. What can I do for you?" Seeing that the caller knew who he was, it was clear this wasn't a nuisance call, Dong Cun asked further.
In this day and age, there are many nuisance calls, making people wary. Dong Cun was indeed the owner of Xinxin Building, which was why Lin Feng was reaching out to him.
"I heard that you're having some difficulties with the construction of Xinxin Building. Our company would like to meet with you; perhaps we can help," Lin Feng said, wanting to arrange a meeting without having to find Dong Cun in person.
"Oh, may I ask which company you represent?" Dong Cun was an experienced businessman and naturally suspected that the caller might be from a financial accounting firm.
Financial accounting firms essentially lend money; why would they lend money? They are after those hefty interest rates, commonly known as "usury."
"Hehe... you'll find out when you come. I'll be waiting for you at Starlight Café. If I don't see you in half an hour, you won't see me again," Lin Feng chuckled before hanging up. He knew Dong Cun would come; this guy was already losing his rationality due to a lack of funds.
Once someone loses their rationality, they can do anything.
Of course, this was also Lin Feng's way of getting him out. Although it was a bit overbearing, Lin Feng believed that this method would definitely bring this guy out.
They say "a penny can defeat a hero," and this guy is far from being a hero; he is a complete social slickster.
According to Li Zhong, this guy's path to wealth wasn't exactly honorable. Once he had money, he learned all the bad habits of the wealthy, indulging in drinking, gambling, and womanizing. In the end, he even took on a mistress.
Well, if you have money and want to keep a mistress, at least do it discreetly. But this guy openly divorced his wife and even competed with younger men over his mistress.
Fine, you can be jealous, but he chose to compete with Song Xin, a notorious playboy. Although both Lin Feng and Song Xin viewed him as trash, dealing with Dong Cun, a wealthy man, was quite easy for Song Xin.
Just like that, Song Xin casually disrupted Dong Cun's business and severed his financial connections. Eventually, thinking that this might not be enough to ruin Dong Cun, Song Xin openly declared that anyone who dared to lend money to Dong Cun would be at odds with him.
This Song Xin may be useless, but he has a powerful father—Song Gang. Most people wouldn't dare cross him. Plus, Dong Cun isn't exactly a good person either; he's made plenty of enemies. After Song Xin's warning, very few people were willing to lend money to Dong Cun, effectively cutting off his business ties. They had families to support and didn't want to become the next Dong Cun.
In this difficult era, people have to admit that having a good father is indeed advantageous.
Thus, Dong Cun's situation could almost be described as desperate.
At this moment, someone mentioned lending him money from Qian Bang. Naturally, he wanted to try his luck; perhaps he could find a fool who didn't know about Song Xin's warning and would lend him money.
This was why Dong Cun came to the Starlight Café where Lin Feng had arranged to meet him, even though he knew the chances were extremely slim.
At the Starlight Café, Lin Feng leisurely sipped his coffee while waiting for Dong Cun. He believed he would come and wasn't worried if he didn't; at most, he would have to make another trip to find him at home. After all, he was determined to acquire the Xinxin Building. Not only did Lin Feng want it for business purposes, but he also wanted to provoke Song Gang. If Song Gang didn’t take action soon, Dong Jie would have to stay elsewhere for another day longer, which meant that Lin Feng wouldn’t get to see Dong Jie for an extended period.
This was something Lin Feng did not want to see.
Sure enough, just as Lin Feng expected, as soon as he finished his cup of coffee, Dong Cun arrived.
Though Lin Feng had never met Dong Cun, Li Zhong had given him a photo. With his remarkable memory, it was easy for him to recognize that the person who had just entered the Starlight Café was indeed Dong Cun.
Lin Feng called the waiter to bring him another cup of coffee and asked the waiter to greet Dong Cun, saying that he was the person Dong Cun was looking for.
After a while, Lin Feng and Dong Cun sat facing each other. Lin Feng's posture was elegant and relaxed, complemented by his good attire and handsome appearance, which caught the attention of several young white-collar women in the café. In contrast, Dong Cun, with his round face and large ears, along with a big gold chain around his neck, failed to attract any interest.
A man who wore his wealth so obviously could not pique the interest of those white-collar women. They were young girls just stepping out of their ivory towers, in the most vibrant phase of their lives, and naturally would not be drawn to someone like Dong Cun.
Of course, some more materialistic women might have been interested in Dong Cun, but unfortunately, there were none such in this café at that moment—at least that was what Lin Feng believed.
Enjoying the attention from the nearby white-collar women, Lin Feng had to admit that he was quite handsome, and his vanity was somewhat satisfied.
Lin Feng remained silent; he knew that from the moment Dong Cun stepped into this Starlight Café, he would control the rhythm of the conversation, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Is your company sending just a kid like you to talk to me?" Lin Feng knew that Dong Cun was aware of the gazes from those white-collar women. Naturally feeling a bit inferior due to his looks, Dong Cun felt jealous of Lin Feng's handsomeness and had a dismissive attitude.
"Heh heh, I am actually the boss of our company," Lin Feng replied slowly, recognizing Dong Cun's dissatisfaction in his words. He didn't care to fabricate any stories about what company he belonged to just to lure Dong Cun out.
"Oh, you're younger than I expected," Dong Cun said in surprise upon hearing Lin Feng's words. However, realizing how easy it was these days to start a company, his surprise faded as he continued to speak disdainfully.
"You’re also bigger than I imagined, aren't you?" Lin Feng shot back. Now that he had taken control of the situation, he had no desire to waste time talking with such a scoundrel unless it was to provoke a conflict between him and Song Gang.
"You..." Dong Cun did not expect Lin Feng to directly attack him verbally and found himself momentarily speechless.
"Heh heh... I don't want to waste time with you either. Don't you notice how those beautiful women are looking at me with amusement sitting here with you? Let's get straight to the point." Lin Feng's tone had turned somewhat disgusted; after all, he felt awkward sharing coffee with someone like this boorish man.
"Do you think you can lend me money? Five thousand or ten thousand?" After being provoked by Lin Feng, Dong Cun again found himself at a loss for words. After a pause, he spoke again; clearly, he did not believe Lin Feng could lend him money. He needed millions, not just thousands.
Lin Feng did not respond but instead took out a checkbook and swiftly wrote a check for twenty million. He placed it on the table and said, "Take a good look; this is twenty million. After you take this money, sign this contract and then you can leave. Sell me Xinxin Building."
"You think I'm a fool? You want to buy my building? Fine, I'll tell you, if you want to buy it, it's fifty million, and I'll sell it to you." Dong Cun didn't expect Lin Feng to take out twenty million right away. He didn't even have twenty million in total assets, but he realized that Lin Feng might really be a wealthy investor. At that moment, he decided to take advantage of Lin Feng.
In fact, because he had offended Song Xin, the construction of Xinxin Building had already been halted. He was still three hundred thousand short of completing the building, which was also why he was interested when he heard that someone from Lin Feng's debt company was coming to take a look.
He wasn't looking to make money anymore; he just wanted to recoup his losses and then leave with the cash. He knew that after offending Song Xin, he couldn't stay in City B any longer.
The total cost to complete the building was indeed just over twenty million.
Now that Lin Feng wanted to buy the building from him, it was something he had been hoping for a long time. However, being a seasoned businessman, he realized that Lin Feng might be a big target and decided to fleece him for more money.
"Heh... then you can leave." Upon hearing Dong Cun's words, Lin Feng understood his intentions and wasted no time. He put away the check and said to Dong Cun.
"Hmph..." Dong Cun was a businessman; he didn't believe that Lin Feng was truly indifferent. He shrugged off his sleeves and prepared to leave, knowing that if he took a few more steps, Lin Feng would definitely call him back.
"You can go. In City B, you've already offended Song Xin. I guarantee that besides me, no one will want your unfinished building. Just wait for your assets to be trapped in that unfinished project," Lin Feng said as he watched Dong Cun pretend to walk away, casually sipping his coffee.
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Dong Cun initially thought Lin Feng wanted him to stay. He felt pleased that the target had finally taken the bait but didn't expect Lin Feng to say such things.
Those words struck at his weak point directly. What had been troubling him all this time? Wasn't it exactly what Lin Feng just mentioned?
