A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 49: Has the opportunity come?

Wang’s Car Dealership.

Li Yan invited Lin Yi to discuss the "division of the family". According to her idea, it was already good enough not to hold Zhang Chunlan, the second wife, accountable for "killing" her husband, so there was no need to divide the family property with the second wife.

But the problem now is that Zhang Chunlan, the second wife, relying on her son, cried bitterly in front of the Wang family's relatives and friends, and even threatened to sue. As a result, Li Yan faced pressure from all sides.

At this point, the only option is to split up, otherwise there will be no peace!

"Lawyer Lin, our Wang family is now in a state of disarray. Outsiders are eager to eat us up completely."

Lin Yi said with a strong sense of professional ethics: "Since I have come across the Wang family's affairs, I will definitely use the law to seek justice for you. Madam Wang, don't worry."

In fact, he is also working for money, so there is no professional ethics.

For example, when Wang Chengyun killed two rickshaw drivers, Lin Yi asked Wang Chengyun to say that it was caused by "internal fighting among the rickshaw drivers". Where is the professional ethics in this? It is completely false evidence.

Now that the Wang family can still afford the lawyer's fees, Lin Yi will naturally continue to serve.

But in Li Yan's heart, Lin Yi is a great support at this time, so she consults him on many things.

Li Yan said, "Thank you. But the second branch is also making a big fuss now, clamoring to split up the family business!"

Lin Yi was suddenly embarrassed, after all, it was difficult for a judge to judge family affairs.

"What does Madam Wang plan to do?"

Li Yan has grown a lot since her husband's death after going through the baptism of tears.

She said decisively, "Then give it to her. I plan to sell 50 rickshaws with license plates. The proceeds will be used to buy her a house and other living expenses. It will be considered a formal division of the family property and will be enough for her to raise her child."

She has a son and a daughter, and is the eldest wife, so she wants the current house and car dealership, the remaining 50 rickshaws, the transaction money for the 20 rickshaws, and some miscellaneous family assets.

Moreover, Li Yan also plans to reorganize Wang's rickshaw business and use the remaining 50 rickshaws to continue the business and maintain the family.

After listening to this, Lin Yi asked, "Has the Second Wife agreed to this family division plan?"

Li Yan said: "She agreed, and she didn't dare to refuse."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then I will help you complete the separation smoothly."

Li Yan specifically instructed, "After the rickshaw is sold, I must buy them a Western-style house, otherwise this foolish woman will eventually run out of money. When the time comes, please ask Lawyer Lin to assist with the house purchase procedures!"

After all, he is the blood of the Wang family, and Li Yan couldn't bear to see Zhang Chunlan's son suffer in the future.

But a stupid woman like Zhang Chunlan would definitely not be able to think of so many things.

Lin Yi said, "No problem. 50 rickshaws, they should be worth at least 14000 yuan, right?"

Li Yan said with some pain, "Normally, at 200 yuan for a license plate, all the car dealers would be reluctant to sell it. But now that our Wang family is in trouble, who wouldn't want to take advantage of the situation? But 280 yuan for a rickshaw with a license plate is my bottom line."

License plates are a typical example of "high price but low demand". They are said to be 200 yuan each, but no car dealership will sell them unless they have no other choice.

After Wang Chengyun's death, Li Yan decided to sell half of the rickshaws for two reasons: first, Zhang Chunlan was making a fuss about dividing the family business, and second, there were too many rickshaws for her to manage.

100 rickshaws mean drivers. These people take advantage of the fact that they are orphans and widows and always try to take advantage of the situation.

Now, Li Yan decided to suspend the business for a while to dampen the enthusiasm of the drivers.

At that time, she can take out the remaining 50 rickshaws to operate, and it will be easy to manage.

This woman is not like the second wife who is "beautiful but brainless".

With the help of broker Wang Zuoyi, Chen Guangliang bought a three-acre farmland on Yuyuan Road from a "country rich man" in just over a week.

It's called farmland, but in reality, there's no one managing what you build. Of course, even if you want to build a department store, you still have to consider the surrounding environment.

In more than a week, Chen Guangliang went through the "transfer deed", "land measurement by the land surveying bureau", "stamping by the county governor", "issuance by the Chinese and Foreign Negotiation Office", and "witnessed by the lawyer's office, and then paid cash and obtained the land deed".

The speed is quite fast, of course, in every environment, it means that some expenses need to be paid.

So in the end, the transaction price of the three acres of land was only 3500 yuan, but the expenses in each link were also 600 yuan (including the agent), and the final price was 4100 yuan.

Overall, the price was very close to the previous land price. If he didn't need the 'road deed', he wouldn't even need 3600 yuan, but Chen Guangliang didn't like this lack of security.

But no matter what, Chen Guangliang was still very happy that he was able to buy two pieces of land in less than a month, totaling six acres and seven fen.

The reason why he took a fancy to these two pieces of land was mainly because both of them were adjacent to "Jing'ansi Road (Nanjing West Road in later generations)", and the transportation could directly reach the prosperous area of ​​"Nanjing East Road".

Although this "direct" road is very long (about four or five kilometers to the Yong'an Department Store on Nanjing East Road), he can only afford to speculate on such cheap land.

Arriving at the Changjiang Vehicle Dealership base on Yuyuan Road, Zhou Xinggao hurried up and reported, "Boss, Wang's Vehicle Dealership is selling 50 rickshaws with license plates. The news has spread!"

Chen Guangliang knew Zhou Xinggao must be very excited after hearing this, but he said calmly, "We probably don't have to think about it. They have a grudge against us, so why would they sell it to us? What's more, this kind of thing is very popular, and there is no shortage of buyers."

As expected, Zhou Xinggao was disappointed when he heard it.

However, he also felt that what the boss said made sense. He had robbed someone before, and even if there was no evidence, the other person had doubts in the end; and later the boss directly conspired to "cheat" the other person out of twenty cars, which was a very obvious thing.

So, why would anyone sell it to them!

Chen Guangliang patted Zhou Xinggao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. The Transportation Department will have 50 licenses this year or early next year. I'll give you a stake then."

This subordinate is ambitious, but at least he is very loyal to him, so he must know how to use him!

If you don't show favor, you may suffer the consequences.

Being a capable person also means showing greater sincerity in recruiting others.

When Zhou Xinggao heard this, he immediately said, "Well, I just feel sorry for the boss for missing the opportunity. After all, we haven't added new vehicles for a long time!"

What do you mean by a long time? It’s only been a little over a month!

But then again, the number of rickshaws used to increase every month, and everyone had become accustomed to that rapid pace of development.

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "It's better to go slower so we can move more steadily. For example, right now, we haven't had any trouble for a month. Isn't that great?"

Zhou Xinggao also agreed with a smile: "Now that you put it, it seems to be true!"

In the past, everyone lived a very tense life, guarding against competitors, suppression by the police, etc.

Now that their competitor (Wang Chengyun) is gone and the police will take care of their dealership (Inspector Gao), Changjiang Car Dealership has ushered in a rare stable life.

Finally, Chen Guangliang said, "I will soon mortgage the land for a loan. The loaned funds will be safe, and I will be ready to give you shares when the time comes!"

Zhou Xinggao quickly said, "Boss, I still say the same thing. Just give me 2500. That's what you deserve!"

Anyone who sees it gets a share of the blame. Furthermore, if the boss hadn't jailed Wang Chengyun and disbanded his thug team, he wouldn't have had a chance. If it weren't for the boss's protection, Inspector Gao would have caught him long ago, and he would have been doomed.

"Just work hard for the company and don't talk about anything else!"

Seeing that Chen Guangliang refused to give in, Zhou Xinggao could only say, "Well, I will definitely do my job seriously!"

Chen Guangliang had already figured it out. If he obtained 50 new license plates from the Traffic Department and purchased 50 new cars, the total value of this combination would naturally be calculated at 15000 yuan (300 yuan per car), so Zhou Xinggao could get 33%; the Traffic Department and Smith would get 50%, and the rest would be 12% for Chen Guangliang and 5% for Li Chao.

The less he gets, the better. After all, he used other people's money to buy the land.
