Chapter 2919 Xu Zhi has fallen into a trap!

However, not all architectural designs can be handled by Wang Yue, or rather, Wang Yue cannot handle every project himself. Wang Yue requires all designers in the company to submit a proposal, and even assistant designers need to submit one.

Wang Yue did this to select a suitable project designer to share some of the design work for ordinary projects, so he only needed to review the designs.

After a series of screenings, Wang Yue actually found a suitable designer.

The designer's surname is Luo. He was a veteran designer recruited by a headhunter. After he was in charge of the initial review, Wang Yue was saved a lot of trouble later on, as he didn't have to review every single one of the designs.

However, most employees wouldn't say anything even if their designs were rejected. After all, they understood their position and knew they were just employees who should just listen to their superiors.

But Lu Tao was different. After experiencing the school project last time, he witnessed true perfect design and always wanted to make all projects as perfect as possible.

However, according to Lu Tao's design, the profit is actually very low, only slightly more than putting money in the bank.

However, for investors who want to invest in real estate, they simply won't be willing to take the risk unless they can make several times the profit.

Manager Luo did not approve Lu Tao's design, but Lu Tao was unwilling to give up and took the design drawings to Wang Yue. In order to see Wang Yue, he even called Mi Lai to ask for Wang Yue's address.

When Wang Yue met Lu Tao, Lu Tao said very confidently,
"Teacher Wang, I learned a lot about design from the school you designed, so in the design of the Hujiawan resettlement housing, I not only considered aesthetics..."

Wang Yue interrupted Lu Tao, simply extending his hand and saying...

"Lu Tao, let me see the blueprints you brought! You're just talking; I don't know how you actually designed them."

Lu Tao then realized what was happening and quickly handed his drawings to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue understood what was going on after just one glance at the blueprints. He frowned and said...

"Lu Tao, there is no profit in resettlement housing. When designing it, you need to consider the profit margin more."

The resettlement house you designed is indeed very beautiful. I'm sure it will be a great place for Chunmian to live after she moves in.

But your design far exceeds the government's budget. Even if you approach Lao Lu, he probably won't be able to allocate more funds.

Therefore, if we follow your design, we will not only fail to make any money from this project, but we will also likely lose tens of millions.

The company has just been established. The last project at the school was mainly funded by the University of Architecture. I have connections at the University of Architecture, so it's possible to get them to allocate more funds.

But that's probably difficult now!

Remember to consider this point when you design in the future; while striving for perfection, you must also take cost into account.

When Lu Tao heard that Wang Yue had also rejected his drawings, he said, unwilling to give up,

"Teacher Wang, those villagers who were relocated to resettlement housing were living very comfortably in the village. Now that they've been moved to resettlement housing, shouldn't they still be able to live comfortably?"

Wang Yue knew, of course, that the villagers had made sacrifices, but he also knew that the demolitions in these first-tier cities created millionaires and multi-millionaires.

So Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lu Tao, this is the capital. The people whose homes are demolished receive a lot of money. They are not short of money."

If you want to realize your plan, you should take the initiative to go to the village chiefs of Hujiawan and the other villages to see if they are willing to contribute some money to upgrade the design.

Otherwise, we'll have to resort to the simplest approach!

Wang Yue asked Lu Tao to try negotiating with the villagers simply to show Lu Tao how difficult it was to get money from people; otherwise, Lu Tao would definitely be unwilling to give up.

And Lu Tao actually went to find the villagers who were about to be relocated, all for the sake of his blueprints.

While Lu Tao was busy, Wang Yue received news that Xu Zhishen had established a new real estate company, Yuanda Real Estate, and was officially preparing to enter the Beijing real estate industry.

Wang Yue knew in his heart that Xu Zhishen was only trying to win Lu Tao back because he hadn't been able to have a child with her.

Sure enough, when Lu Tao ran into a wall when trying to contact the village chiefs of Hujiawan, Xu Zhishen approached him again.

To make their meeting seem less unexpected, Xu Zhishen deliberately arranged for them to bump into each other.

Seeing that Lu Tao wanted to leave as soon as he saw him, Xu Zhishen quickly stopped him and said,
"Lu Tao, I heard you've been working really hard lately. How about you take a position at the Beijing branch of my newly established construction company?"

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "Let's forget it, I'm fine here."

Xu Zhishen had already arranged for people to investigate, and even went to the Future Building to inquire about information. So when he saw Lu Tao say this, he immediately said, "When you're in someone else's company, everyone is thinking about profits. It's not as convenient as being in your own company."

You are my only son, and all of this family property will eventually be handed over to you.

"If you like it, it's just a few tens of millions, right? We'll take this project to Broad Group and build it according to your design."

Lu Tao had been frustrated by the villagers and village officials of several villages in Hujiawan recently, and now that he heard Xu Zhishen say this, he was indeed somewhat tempted.

However, considering that Wang Yue had offered him a job with a decent salary, Lu Tao decided to try and negotiate with Wang Yue, so he didn't agree immediately.

"I'll go back and ask Teacher Wang. If Teacher Wang doesn't agree to my new plan, then I'll come back to you."

Xu Zhishen knew that it was impossible to get Lu Tao to agree immediately. Seeing that Lu Tao's tone had softened considerably, he quickly agreed as well.

"Okay, go back and think it over carefully. Remember my phone number and call me anytime."

Lu Tao immediately agreed and then went to find Wang Yue. He wanted Future Construction to temporarily advance the money and then gradually earn it back by collecting rent from surrounding shops.

Of course, Lu Tao believes that the rent for this shop is a benefit that he and the villagers fought for.

After hearing this, Wang Yue refused outright. When he learned that Xu Zhishen had come to him, he prepared to begin his own plan.

Lu Tao was clearly very disappointed, so he asked very directly,
“Teacher Wang, I don’t know if this project can be sold to Yuanda Real Estate. Xu Zhishen said he would fully support me, and I want to realize my design.”

Seeing that Lu Tao looked very determined, Wang Yue naturally didn't force him and simply said,
"Then let Xu Zhisen sign the contract. All you need to do is transfer the upfront investment from Future Construction to Future Construction's account, and you can take the project."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tao immediately went to find Xu Zhishen. Xu Zhishen did not hesitate and sent Lu Tao directly to Yuanda Real Estate. He personally introduced Lu Tao to Yuanda Real Estate and put him in charge of the Hujiawan project.

Xu Zhishen even instructed Lao Ding, the manager of Yuanda Real Estate, to fully support Lu Tao's plan.

Lu Tao was very happy and took Lao Ding directly to Future Architecture to buy the Hu family's project.

Lu Yaxun had been involved in this project before, and he heard the news within two days. So, when Yang Xiaoyun and Mi Lai were meeting with their child, he also went along to meet Wang Yue.

Lu Yaxun didn't beat around the bush; while Yang Xiaoyun and Mi Lai were chatting, he directly asked Wang Yue,

"The Hujiawan project includes a huge park. You're just handing it all over to Yuanda Company? What are you going to do about your Hujiawan amusement park project?"

Wang Yue said with a smile, "I only gave the resettlement housing project to Yuanda Construction. The Hujiawan Harbor Amusement Park project is still in the hands of Future Construction."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaxun said in astonishment, "Old Wang, you promised you wouldn't cheat Lu Tao, so why are you setting a trap for him here?"

Wang Yue patted Lu Yaxun and said solemnly, "I suppose you are well-informed enough to know that the boss behind Yuanda Group is Xu Zhishen!"
Since Lu Yaxun wants to take Lu Tao away from me, then of course I need to avenge you!

Do you think Xu Zhishen would still feel comfortable letting Lu Tao continue pursuing his dream if he learned that Lu Tao had invested over 100 million yuan without any return?

Having worked in the planning bureau for so long, Lu Yaxun knew these bosses in the construction industry very well. He shook his head and said, "Although tens of millions is not a lot in Xu Zhishen's hands, the loss is all working capital, which is very damaging to the construction industry."

After this incident, Xu Zhishen probably won't be so easy to let go of Lu Tao anymore!

Wang Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "The plan that Lu Tao gave us requires an additional tens of millions, but I believe that if Lu Tao had the money to back it up, he would definitely not be satisfied with the current design. He would design it to be a landmark building like Fuzhou."

If that happens, the investment will be much greater, and Xu Zhishen will likely lose even more. I guess it would be impossible to realize Lu Tao's dream without at least three to five hundred million yuan.

By then, Yuanda Construction Company will probably go bankrupt very soon.

Xu Zhishen is a businessman. He would spend tens of millions to gain his son's approval, or even better, to have him acknowledge his ancestry. He would consider this a good investment.

However, Xu Zhishen would definitely not be willing to spend hundreds of millions to freeze all of Yuanda Construction's cash.

After all, Yuanda Construction is Xu Zhishen's personal company, unlike Shenzhen Construction, which is a company owned by all shareholders. Any losses incurred belong to Xu Zhishen!

Xu Zhishen would never agree to that, and an argument between him and Lu Tao would happen very soon.

By then, Lu Tao will see Xu Zhishen's true nature!
