Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 558 - 251: Win-Win_2

People fear fame as pigs fear fattening, and trading experts fear it even more. Human nature is a formidable thing...

Han Lie understood this very well, but he had no choice. Gaining fame through competition and then seizing the momentum to build his network was the fastest way to rise.

So, getting entangled with people was just a matter of time.

Last time, Brother Lie muddled through.

This time, Brother Lie loosened up a bit.

"I’m in the process of setting up my own fund, but the big shots have already reserved most of it, so the quota is very tight now. Of course, we’re brothers. As long as there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely give you the green light."

So, how much is it exactly?

Han Lie set a limit for them in jest—

"You guys have trouble just booking a hotel room, so why are you thinking so far ahead? I estimate that even if you all really pushed it, you’d max out at scraping together three to five million. I’ll try my best to squeeze out enough quota for that."

"Damn!"

Guo Yihuai’s eyes widened in shock, and he let out a swear word before asking in disbelief, "We have so many people, and you’re only giving us a five-million quota?!"

Han Lie immediately shot him a look.

This kid doesn’t have a clue...

Fang Tongzhi quickly intervened, "God Lie, Huai Bro didn’t mean any harm. He’s a bit tactless with his words at home too, so don’t take it to heart."

Calling him Huai Bro while apologizing on his behalf, interesting, huh...

Han Lie took the opportunity to ask, "What’s his family into?"

Fang Tongzhi hadn’t planned to reveal too much too soon. But now, having encountered such a blundering teammate, he had no choice.

"Huai Bro’s father is with the Magic Capital Housing Bureau, COUGH COUGH..."

Fang Tongzhi raised two fingers, and Han Lie’s heart skipped a beat.

Ouch, so he’s a handsome young man I can’t afford to offend?

Guo Yihuai’s father had no influence over Han Lie’s main business; they weren’t related at all. However, he could affect another of Han Lie’s plans.

The pre-sale permit for commercial housing!

Theoretically, the investors and managers of the "Ming Capital ABS Project" have no right to interfere with Minggu Estate’s management and operation of the Ming Capital properties. So, if Gu Yong had a moment of poor judgment and decided to start pre-sales early, no one could do anything about it.

Even though the real estate market was somewhat tepid in ’14, this was the Magic Capital. By pre-selling early, selling over an extended period, and offering appropriate discounts, it wasn’t entirely impossible to recoup sufficient funds in time.

There weren’t many countermeasures Han Lie could implement, and Panzi, not being involved in the real estate industry, didn’t have much influence either.

Now, though, Han Lie suddenly saw a good opportunity.

If, at a critical moment, he could delay Ming Capital’s pre-sale plan for a couple of months...

Oh no, can’t think about it, can’t think about it! It would be a perfect encirclement!

In an instant, the magnanimous Brother Lie no longer cared about Guo Yihuai’s rudeness.

We’re all family here, true brothers. If an older brother acts a bit wild towards his younger brother, what’s the big deal?!

"Huai Bro."

Han Lie’s attitude softened remarkably, as gentle as a spring breeze, as he patiently set his trap.

"It’s not that I’m being arrogant, but let me be frank with you brothers—the original plan for a 2 billion fund is already booked up to 2.5 billion. Each client is a prominent business magnate in the Magic Capital. Who am I supposed to squeeze out?

What about Yang Mi, Wu Qilong, Huang Sanshi? They’ve promised me many resources in the film and television industry, and even they only received a five-million quota each.

Next time we gather, I’ll invite Guo Qingting from ’Tiny Times,’ and you can ask her yourselves."

Yes, it’s indeed five million, but for them, it was five million per person...

A bunch of rich kids just killing time. If it weren’t for their families having some local influence, Han Lie wouldn’t even want to give them the current five million.

"Wow! You’ve even gotten in touch with Sister Mi?!"

Zhao Shengnan exclaimed, her excitement a little beyond normal bounds.

What’s going on? You’re a fan too?

In fact, few young girls didn’t aspire to a career in the entertainment industry. The whole table erupted, with the girls chattering and eagerly questioning. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Brother Lie, are you on good terms with them?"

"Brother Lie, who have you met?"

"Brother Lie, what resources did they offer you? Are there any chances for roles like a second or third female lead?"

Hmm, that makes sense. If they weren’t vain, why would they be hanging out with a bunch of second-generation rich kids...

Just as the conversation was about to veer completely off course, Guo Yihuai suddenly blurted out, "Han Shao, what’s your relationship with Tangren? Is their company still hiring male actors?"

Han Lie was stunned for a moment.

Seriously? You’re the son of a high-ranking civil servant. Messing around in a third-tier university is already outrageous enough, and now you’re actually dreaming of breaking into the entertainment industry?!

Brother Lie couldn’t understand it, but he was profoundly shocked.

"Uh, I don’t interact much with President Cai of Tangren, but I have a pretty good relationship with their top actress, Liu Shuangshi..."

Guo Yihuai grew even more excited, "Bro, could you introduce me for an audition? My acting is amazing!"

Han Lie’s head was buzzing.

Buddy, your voice cracked just saying that! Have you even taken a single diction class?!

Low EQ: I don’t believe you; you’re bullshitting.

High EQ: Swift horses are common, but a Bole, who can recognize them, is rare.

The big bluffer said, "Huai Bro, with your looks, you must have been approached frequently by talent scouts on the street, right? Why would you still need my introduction?"

Guo Yihuai looked pleased but then his spirits fell slightly. "My dad won’t let me become an actor..."

Oh! Han Lie understood.

It’s right that he doesn’t let you. That idea of yours is truly a pain for your father.

But Guo Yihuai himself didn’t see it that way. Instead, his fighting spirit rekindled. "But it doesn’t matter! My dad is probably just afraid I can’t handle the hardships or endure the grievances at the bottom.

Han Shao, if you can help me start with a major supporting role, then there won’t be any problem!"
