Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Wei Jianjun stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Brother Kai, don't rush things. Let's sit down and discuss it properly!"

"How do you plan to discuss this?"

"Here's the thing, you probably already know how much the principal and interest will be after one year. What we mean is, let's not wait until next year, let's include this money, including the principal and interest, in the shares this year!"

Qin Kai sneered: "Do you think there's such a good thing in the world? A loan shark who can not only take the interest in advance, but also turn it into shares and continuously receive dividends?"

Wei Jianjun said with a grin, "Brother Kai, are you confused? Can't you even figure out this little thing? You need to have a broader perspective! You may have suffered a little loss right now, but this has also brought everyone's interests closer together!"

In the real estate business, what's most important? Money! Having a steady stream of funds is the most important thing. Those meager profits are nothing compared to that!

Seeing that Qin Kai remained silent, Wei Jianjun simply went straight to the point: "To be honest, the masterminds behind this are President Song and Luo Siqi..."

Qin Kai asked with some surprise, "Didn't you say that bridge loan came from the Po Yu Group in Korea?"

"That's right, it belongs to the Puyu Consortium. However, the Puyu Consortium put the funds into Luo Siqi's investment company, while Luo Siqi's Xinyuan Investment Company is the legal entity for these funds."

Wei Jianjun continued with a grin, "Brother Kai, you need to broaden your horizons. Think about it, with President Song and Luo Siqi as your backers, you can get a steady stream of funds."

If you can multiply the value of this real estate market, your profits will also multiply, right? This is just a regular debt-to-equity swap, nothing special!

"Alright then, this is a huge matter, let me think about it carefully!"

"Alright, think it over carefully and give us an answer as soon as possible. After all, so much money will accrue interest every day, and if we drag it out, the terms might have to change!"

After Wei Jianjun left, Qin Kai fell into deep thought.

Wei Jianjun gave him two options: one was to return all the profits from the past few years, and the other was to convert debt into equity and bring in Luo Siqi, President Song, and others.

Wei Jianjun's words make some sense. If they can bring in President Song and Luo Siqi, the funding problem can be greatly improved in the future. In particular, President Song has a lot of financial resources, which is not a bad thing in the long run.

The problem is that the Luo family and the Le family are currently very close, and the Le family has also made a large investment in him.

If Luo Siqi were to acquire Lejia's shares, and add them to the shares held by Wei Jianjun and President Song, their shareholding ratio would exceed his, which would be equivalent to them gaining control of the company.

Therefore, Qin Kai's solution was to bring in additional funds from elsewhere to dilute and weaken the shareholding ratio of Luo Siqi and others. In this way, he would still retain control of the company and allow it to grow further.

He quickly found Cao Jinpeng and Jiang Chengye.

The Cao and Jiang families are two prominent local families in Shanghai. They were originally in the real estate business, but as land prices rose, they temporarily withdrew from the real estate industry and began to engage in related industries such as property speculation, real estate brokerage, and property management.

If we give them the opportunity to invest in our company, they should agree.

To his surprise, the two did not agree immediately.

Why are you letting us invest in your real estate company?

"What other reason could there be? Of course, it's to expand the company's scale as much as possible. Only when the company grows bigger and bigger can it acquire more land and seize more market share in the real estate market in the future."

Cao Jinpeng and Jiang Chengye exchanged glances, and Cao Jinpeng smiled and said, "President Qin, let me put it this way, my two brothers invested in your company back then, and the result wasn't too good!"

Lu Zhendong and Cheng Zhiyuan invested in the Qin Group hoping that Qin Kai would inject funds into them and help them develop their business. However, instead of receiving funds, Qin Kai drained their money.

Qin Kai smiled and said seriously, "What's wrong with it? What's the purpose of investing? Isn't it to make money? As long as you make money, the process doesn't matter, don't you think?"

"That's true, but there's more to it than meets the eye. Actually, the profits from running nightclubs aren't low."

Qin Kai smiled again and said in a calm tone, "This is just a minor disagreement about development strategy. A joint-stock company with many shareholders cannot satisfy everyone's demands."

Now, with the addition of President Song and the Luo family as shareholders, the Qin, Luo, and Le families are jointly investing in my company, giving us ample connections and capital.

People's words can be two-faced; the same thing, viewed from a different angle, might lead to a completely different conclusion.

Jiang Chengye asked with some doubt, "Since you already have plenty of funds, why do you need us to invest?"

“In today’s real estate market, land prices are definitely going to keep rising. No matter how much money you have, it’s never enough. The more money you have, the better. Also, you are the shareholders I brought in, so I hope you can support me more.”

Cao Jinpeng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I can't say for sure about Brother Jiang, but if you can get my third son to invest in your company, I'll invest along with him!"

Qin Kai frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why do you insist on having him invest? Can't you even make your own decision?"

Cao Jinpeng spread his hands and said helplessly, "The key is that our third son has a sharp eye. Every project he invests in makes money. At least if you follow his lead, you won't make a mistake."

Jiang Chengye, who was standing to the side, nodded and said, "Yes, our Jiang family has been following his investment path for the past few years, and the results have been really good. Not only have we not been affected by the economic crisis, but we have also taken the opportunity to make a fortune at the bottom of the market price."

In the past two years, the Jiang family has actually made more money from real estate speculation than when they were in the industry before. Otherwise, with banks tightening controls on loan flows recently, they would definitely be using loans to speculate on real estate.

Qin Kai frowned.

In the past two years, his relationship with Li Xiaofeng has not been very good. The main reason is that at the beginning, he did not take Li Xiaofeng seriously and only regarded him as a nouveau riche with no connections or background.
