Chapter 160 Obstacles to Acquisition of Club
"Do I have to take off my shirt for this thing?"
"I need an essential oil massage, so I have to take off my shirt."
"It doesn't have to be so complicated. Just press it normally. If you are tired or I fall asleep, you don't have to press it. The price is 899."
"Oh, I got it."
Holding the phone, Lin Jiang sent a message to Yang Tao, telling him to make his own arrangements in the evening and to leave or stay as he pleased, but just in case, he should not be disturbed.
There were messages from several women on my phone, and I chatted with each of them for a while.
"Lin Jiang~"
"What's wrong?" Lin Jiang looked at He Siyao and asked.
"I, I'm a little tired, can I take a break?"
Lin Jiang looked at the watch. It had been almost two hours since she came in. It was indeed a bit difficult for her.
"If you are tired, take a break, drink some tea, eat some fruit, and don't treat yourself as an outsider."
"Thank you for not looking down on me."
As if she was tired of sitting, He Siyao stood up and leaned against the wall.
"We all earn money with our skills, why should I look down on you?"
"But in our industry, when people hear about it, they think of that and think we are just prostitutes."
"What others think is their business, as long as you have a clear conscience."
It didn't hurt, Lin Jiang said comforting words:
"When you are not short of money one day, you can stop doing this business."
He Siyao lowered her head silently and said with relief: "Well, you are right."
"But then again, this kind of place has all kinds of people, so you should be careful."
"Thank you for telling me this."
Quietly, He Siyao wiped away her tears but said nothing.
"I've rested well, I'll continue to do it for you, I can't let you spend money in vain."
"No need. If you keep massaging my legs, they'll become bald."
"Then let me massage your shoulders."
"No need, just find a place to rest for a while." Lin Jiang said:
"If you can book the whole night, I'll charge you for it, and then you can just find a place to sleep."
"We have overnight stays here, but I've never done it. I'm not a prostitute," He Siyao explained.
"I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." Lin Jiang said with a smile:
"I'm going to sleep. You can arrange the rest by yourself."
Lin Jiang took off the card and handed it to He Siyao.
"When you leave later, bring my clothes over."
"Ah."
……
When I opened my eyes again, it was already past eight in the morning.
“It’s really refreshing.”
Muttering something, Lin Jiang stood up and stretched.
My clothes were neatly placed next to me, and seemed to have been ironed.
The service is really good.
After getting dressed, Lin Jiang left and went to the front desk to check out.
In addition to the four package tickets, he spent an extra 2000 yuan. The cost was not as much as Lin Jiang had imagined, as He Siyao did not seem to calculate it on a monthly basis.
When we drove back to the noodle shop, it was already more than half full.
Yang Tao and the other two were busy in the kitchen. When they saw Lin Jiang coming in, they smiled and said:
"Brother Jiang, next time something like this happens, don't forget to call us."
"It seems that yesterday's experience was good."
"How should I put it? It's just like that. It's not as good as I imagined."
"But judging from your state, you seem to be in a good mood."
"To be honest, they've been out for more than half a year, and I've been out for less than half a year. They're both disabled and have been worrying about their lives. We don't have the energy to think about these things, and no one wants to talk to us about them, so let me tell you..."
"So you guys are really frustrated."
"That's understandable, so it's pretty cool to have something similar." Yang Tao said:
"But the women who came when we were singing last night were just average."
"If you say it's just average, then it's just average."
Yang Tao chuckled, "It's mainly because during this period of time, beautiful women come to you every day, and our taste has also improved."
"So you three think this is just an ordinary place, right?"
“It’s about the same, but the quality needs to be improved.”
Lin Jiang smacked his lips. The fact that the three of them had given such feedback meant that this club was going downhill.
He Siyao should be the mainstay there.
Although there is no news of any sale on the surface, it is possible that something is being done behind the scenes, so this matter needs to be done quickly.
At noon, He Siyao called.
"Is it Lin Jiang?"
"It's me. What's going on? Have you contacted me?"
"Well, Manager Feng is here. Where shall we meet?"
Lin Jiang thought about the restaurants nearby, "There seems to be a Sichuan restaurant called Chuancui opposite the club. Let's meet there in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang booked a private room, copied He Siyao's mobile phone number, added her as a friend, and told her the room number.
Afterwards, he called He Jing again and asked her to go to the mall and buy a set of the most expensive cosmetics and send it to him.
The whole process took less than ten minutes and it was done.
Holding the cosmetics, Lin Jiang took Yang Tao and drove to Sichuan Cui and went to box 203.
Not long after, the door of the box was pushed open, and He Siyao and a woman in her thirties walked in from outside.
He Siyao's outfit was a little ordinary, blue jeans, white sneakers and a white short-sleeved shirt, she still looked innocent.
The woman next to her was wearing a grey leather skirt and flesh-colored stockings. She had a round face and plump breasts, and was full of charm.
During the communication last night, Lin Jiang learned the other party's name, Feng Huiying.
"Hello, Manager Feng."
Lin Jiang politely handed over his business card. Feng Huiying took it with both hands and glanced at the contents on the card.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I heard from Yaoyao that you were looking for me."
Feng Huiying is also very polite because she has a clear understanding of her own positioning.
I am just a small manager, with no status or position to speak of.
Lin Jiang spent nearly ten thousand yuan last night, so his financial resources are naturally beyond doubt.
The fact that someone took the initiative to come to me and politely invited me to dinner shows that I am giving them enough face.
If you put on airs, you would be a bit ignorant.
"There is indeed something I want to talk to you about."
Lin Jiang took out the cosmetics that he had prepared in advance and said, "It's our first meeting, this is a little gift from me."
"Mr. Lin is too polite. You and Yaoyao are classmates. There's no need to be so formal."
"Just a little token of my appreciation."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lin."
"You're welcome." The three of them sat down. Lin Jiang pushed the menu over and said a few polite words. In the end, the task of ordering food fell on Lin Jiang.
Before the meal, Lin Jiang did not talk about his intentions, but simply exchanged polite greetings to pave the way for the subsequent conversation.
After the dishes were served and a glass of wine was drunk, we got down to business.
"Manager Feng, I want to ask you about the recent business performance of the club."
Feng Huiying had already discussed this matter with He Siyao before coming.
"It's still okay. The competition is fiercer now. It's definitely not comparable to before."
The more gifts you give, the less blame you will get. Lin Jiang had put on such a grand display and given himself an expensive gift, so he didn't hesitate to speak in a secretive manner.
"So... the club has no intention of selling it?"
Feng Huiying and He Siyao looked slightly shocked.
Lin Jiang's meaning was very clear, he wanted to acquire Haojue Business Club.
It’s hard to believe that He Siyao actually has such connections.
But to be on the safe side, Feng Huiying still confirmed it.
"Boss Lin, do you have any idea of purchasing the club?"
"Ah."
"To be honest, our CEO Dai does have some ideas in this regard, but things are a bit complicated. If you want to acquire the club, it may be a bit difficult."
"why would you say so?"
Feng Huiying thought for a moment and said, "I have also heard about these things. I can only give you a reference."
"Okay, you say."
"I heard someone wanted to buy our club, but the price they offered was very low. Our CEO Dai disagreed, so the matter has been at a stalemate."
"This is a matter of mutual consent. We will sell it to whoever offers the highest price. Is there any other reason that makes Mr. Dai worried?"
Feng Huiying nodded, smoothed her hair and said:
"I heard that the person who wants to buy the club is the owner of Yemei KTV. He is very powerful in this area, and he has already said that he will cause trouble to anyone who dares to take over Haojue Business Club. This also caused no one to dare to contact our President Dai, and the sale has been at a stalemate."
Sure enough, the problem was not with the club, but with other aspects.
But this KTV called Yemei sounds familiar, but I can’t remember it for a moment.
"Is there no one who dares to give it a try? Are they not yet at the stage of being king?"
"I don't know if there will be any in the future, but I heard that someone previously didn't take the owner of Yemei KTV seriously and contacted our CEO Dai privately. I heard that the discussion went well, but there was no follow-up after that. I haven't heard of anyone coming to discuss this matter recently. It's very likely that he was threatened."
Lin Jiang listened carefully and found Feng Huiying's guess to be very likely.
From this perspective, the influence and means of the owner of Yemei KTV are very powerful.
"How much did Ye Mei's boss offer?"
"I heard it was less than 10 million, but I'm not sure exactly how much it was."
"Can you give me the contact information of your CEO Dai? I want to talk to him in detail."
"Boss Lin, you're joking." Feng Huiying smiled awkwardly.
"I'm just a small manager. How can I know our CEO Dai's phone number? But I can help you pass on a message to our general manager and report this matter. I'll try to give you a reply as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Feng. I'll toast to you."
"Mr. Lin, you're too polite."
After talking about the serious business, the following topics became a little more relaxed.
The meal lasted for about an hour and was coming to an end.
He Siyao and Feng Huiying returned to the club.
Yang Tao was responsible for driving and took Lin Jiang back.
Standing across the street, the two looked back at Lin Jiang's car.
"Yaoyao, you are amazing. You actually have such a rich classmate." Feng Huiying said with a smile.
"I don't know much about his situation. When he was in school, his family's conditions seemed to be similar to those of other students. Maybe he got rich through business in the past few years after graduation."
"That's quite a coincidence. I met you while getting a massage."
"I wish I hadn't met him yesterday. I hope he wouldn't tell anyone about this." He Siyao said dejectedly.
"From the way he talks, he seems quite talented, so it shouldn't be the case." Feng Huiying said:
"But I think this should be an opportunity, you can seize it."
"Sister Ying, do you want me to be with him and let him help me pay off my debts?"
"Of course, you are still young, and your most valuable things are your face and figure. Now that you have the chance, just cling to his thighs. There is nothing shameful about it."
"He has become successful and must have many women around him. I am not worthy of his attention because of my background. I'd better find a way to pay off my debts."
"Then think about it yourself. Alas, it's hard for you."
……
On the way back, Yang Tao spoke first.
"Brother, I know this KTV. It's not far from Berkeley and it's quite big."
"From what Feng Huiying said, the boss should be quite powerful, and he even intimidated the boss of the Haojue Club."
People who can open a club are generally not good people. Even so, they were still shocked, which shows that the other party's influence and deterrence are very strong.
"Brother, what do you say about this? I'll listen to you."
"Follow our schedule. You go find out who Ye Mei's boss is, and I'll be responsible for contacting Hao Jue's boss."
"Can that person named Feng Huiying help us?" Yang Tao asked:
"Should I use other channels to find out their boss's contact information?"
"Wait for news first. If she doesn't contact me tomorrow, buy some more things and send them over."
"What if she takes the things but doesn't do the job?"
"If she dares to accept it, she will definitely do it. If she can't do it, she won't accept it." Lin Jiang said:
"I'm about to buy the Haojue Club. Do you think she dares to take the money and not do the job?"
"That makes sense."
As they were talking, the two returned to the noodle shop and everything was back to normal.
Seeing Lin Jiang coming back, Li Yuanyuan came up to him.
"Brother Jiang, I want to take a leave. I have an appointment with two landlords to discuss the rent this afternoon, so I have to leave now."
"Okay, go ahead."
"You've also looked at the house. What's your price range? Give me a rough estimate so I can have an idea." Li Yuanyuan asked.
"Don't ask me. If I can't even make up my mind, how can I accomplish anything big in the future?"
"Brother Jiang, you think too highly of me. This is a big deal worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Lin Jiang smiled and said, "You were so excited watching the videos online, why are you so scared when it comes to the real thing?"
"Brother Jiang, please stop laughing at me. I'm really a bit of a coward."
"I've got your back, so why are you afraid? Make your own decision."
"understood."
Li Yuanyuan glanced towards the kitchen.
"Brother Yang, let's go."
"Ah."
Lin Jiang handed the car keys to Yang Tao, "Drive my car, it will be more convenient when we go to talk."
"okay."
The two left, and at this time, He Siyao sent a message.
He Siyao: "Are you there?"
Lin Jiang: “Yes.”
He Siyao: "I just talked to Sister Ying, and it seems that the boss of Ye Mei is not easy to deal with. Do you want to consider other businesses?"
