Chapter 121: Lu Hongbing's Banquet

  Yang Yawei's mood suddenly became relaxed, although he couldn't improve his parents' lives for the time being, but they didn't have to worry about him anymore, and life would be much more comfortable. In fact, his parents' requirements were not that high, just simple was good, and other things could wait until he got back.

  "How much?" As soon as Yang Yawei got on the car, LuLu immediately came over excitedly and asked, and Xia XueLan also looked at Yang Yawei with some curiosity.

  "Seven million." Yang Yawei smiled and said.

  "Wow! I didn't expect it, you've become a millionaire so quickly! Not bad, not bad, from now on I can openly bully you!" Lu immediately exclaimed in surprise. Yang Yawei was covered in black lines, he really had no idea what this guy's motives were, whether it was to bully him or something else. But it seemed that her little treasure trove probably didn't just have this much money, right? It wasn't like she hadn't seen it before. On the other hand, Xia Xuehan beside her wasn't as excited as her.

  "Let's go, let's go. Hurry back and take a bath, I'm all over the smell of beer, it's terrible, I'll call my dad later, we probably won't be able to make it on time." Lu Lu excitedly waved her hand, then stepped on the accelerator and quickly started the car, causing Yang Yiwei and Xia Xuehan to lean back in their seats.

  "Are you crazy? Slow down." Yang Yawei was startled and hastily said.

  "It's okay, it's okay, just this moment can be fast, in a while I will open the Bugatti Veyron, and I guarantee that it won't speed up." LuLu waved her hand.

  Your sister, I'm afraid you'll get hit by a car before you can even get there. But as Lulu said, she didn't have to wait for long either, just after leaving the parking lot, she had to slow down already. By the time the three of them returned to school, it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon. After rushing back to their dormitory and taking a quick shower, Yang Yiwei thought about what he wanted to discuss with Lu Hongbing for a while, then changed into more formal clothes, although they had met before, but discussing work and chatting were different after all.

  After waiting for another ten minutes or so under the dormitory building of Lu Lu and Xia Xue Lan, the two finally walked down from upstairs. The headquarters of Hui Huang Mining is a bit far away from S University, and it's also rush hour at this time point, so it wasn't until 2 pm that the three people arrived at the foot of the Hui Huang Mining building in their car, a high-rise building with over thirty floors, on which the name of the Hui Huang Mining Group was written at the top, meaning that the entire building should not have been rented out to any other company.

  The office building was over thirty floors high, and it was hard to imagine where Hui Huang Mining had found so many employees to fill the entire building. After parking their car in the garage, Lu Lu went straight from the elevator to the floor where Lu Hongbing was located. When the elevator doors opened, Yang Yawei saw that Lu Hongbing was already waiting at the door. Seeing Yang Yawei and his two companions, Lu Hongbing winked at Yang Yawei before smiling and saying: "Welcome, welcome! I didn't expect we'd be seeing each other again so soon, and now we're going to become partners!"

  Yang Yiwei smiled wryly, looked at Lu Hongbing's outstretched hand, and hastily shook hands with him before speaking: "Uncle Lu is joking, I'm just messing around too. Happen to have some materials on hand, so I was thinking of doing something. Before, there was no money, but recently got a sum of money."

  Lu Hongbing smiled and looked at Yang Yawei: "About the Xing Meng Group thing?"

  Yang Yiwei didn't understand why Lu Hongbing said that, but he still nodded and said: "Right, it's about that matter."

  "The Lu family has a good daughter, but this thing the Lu family did is not right." The smile on Lu Hongbing's face made Yang Yawei feel uncomfortable, and he didn't want to think that Lin Ruohang was too bad. But he couldn't figure out what Lu Hongbing meant by saying this, as Lu Hongbing wasn't the kind of person who gossiped about others behind their backs.

  "It doesn't matter anyway, I only take what I should take, and it's better not to take some money." Yang Yiwei didn't know what Lu Hongbing was specifically talking about. In theory, Lu Hongbing shouldn't have known anything about the things between Yingfeng Network and An, but Yang Yiwei wasn't quite sure, after all, for people like Lu Hongbing, they might have their own channels and sources that can't be ruled out.

  "Haha, that night I felt you were different from ordinary young people. It's hard for you to be born into an ordinary family and yet be so open-minded. I guess I'm just being nosy. But you guys are late, I'm almost starving!" Lu Hongbing said with a smile.

  "Oh my... Dad, are you done yet? Is this interesting? Hurry up and eat, I'm starving! Let's go!" Lulu interrupted the conversation between Yang Yawei and Lu Hongbing, speaking quickly.

  "Haha, okay, let's eat, let's eat." Lu Hongbing smiled and led the way inside, Yang Yawei and Xia Xuelan followed. The dining hall was not large, and the dishes on the table were not luxurious, just ordinary home cooking, but the taste was quite different, probably made by a good chef.

  Yang Yawei was really hungry, he hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning and it was already past two o'clock. After everyone had finished eating, Lu Hongbing wiped his mouth and said: "Alright, since you and Lulu are good friends, you can call me Uncle Lu, and I'll call you Xiao Wei. Lulu has already told me about your thoughts on the phone, so although I don't know where you got this formula from, since Lulu said it's okay, I won't mince words - as a businessman, let's put our friendship aside for now and talk business, do you agree?"

  Yang Yiwei nodded and said: "En, Chairman Lu, you're right. Work is work, life is life."

  Lu Hongbing smiled and continued, "Since that's the case, I'll be straightforward. Let's not discuss whether or not I believe in the formula you're holding onto. If we need to cooperate with Hui Huang Mining Industry, that is to say, if Hui Huang Mining Industry needs to sponsor your experiment of this alloy formula, then Hui Huang Mining Industry will need to own 90% of the new formula's rights. Hui Huang Mining Industry can invest 10 million in this matter. If someone else applies for a related patent or you haven't researched out the formula after a year, the contract will automatically terminate and all related industries will belong to Hui Huang Mining Industry."

  Yang Yawei immediately fell into deep thought. Ninety percent ownership, he knew the formula was real, but from Lu Hongbing's perspective, what Lu Hongbing said was not wrong, this kind of thing must have risks, so Lu Hongbing's request was not excessive, however, being not excessive did not mean Yang Yawei would agree.

  "Is there another way?" Yang Yawei raised his head and thought for a moment before saying.

  Lu Hongbing burst out laughing: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious, Wei! Of course, there are other options. I carefully considered Lulu's words last night and came up with a second option. Hui Huang Mining can provide your lab with free minerals for research purposes and equipment at cost price. However, the lab needs to be funded by you. If it succeeds within a year, Hui Huang Mining will require full agency rights to your alloy. If it doesn't succeed within a year, the contract will terminate. Of course, if you continue to purchase minerals, you'll have to pay market price, but the equipment can be considered a gift."

  This approach has a wider range of freedom, but Yang Yawei also paid a lot. Having all the agency rights means there is no room for bargaining, just like what Lu Hongbing said before, this has nothing to do with the relationship between the two people, work is work.

  Yang Yiwei slightly shook his head: "I basically agree with the general content, but it's impossible to have full agency rights. I can promise that under the same price conditions, Hui Huang Mining has priority agency qualifications, and I have no way to promise anything else."

  "What guarantee is there for the benefits and risks on this side?" Lu Hongbing retorted.

  "That ore is not provided by Hui Huang Mining for free, I can buy it with money. If you want to purchase the relevant equipment, Hui Huang will help with the purchase at market price." Yang Yiwei said after a pause.

  Lu Hongbing glanced at Yang Yawei, then burst out laughing: "If we really follow this condition, what kind of cooperative relationship do we have between us? You can reach such a condition with any mining company, and you can also buy ore from any mining company. However... it's obvious that you've never done business before, Little Wei."

  Yang Yawei felt a bit embarrassed, he also just realized this problem, if according to what he said, where is the cooperation, it's completely normal buyer and seller behavior. However, for Lu Hongbing's words, Yang Yawei was speechless, isn't this nonsense? He hasn't even graduated from college, nor is he a rich second generation or official second generation, where did he get the opportunity to talk business? Does haggling with street vendors count?

  "Alright, the conditions will be as I just mentioned, and the priority purchase right will also be as you said. However, this requires you to purchase the relevant equipment yourself. What kind of equipment are you planning to buy?" Lu Hongbing smiled and shook his head, then made a concession. For a business worth hundreds of millions, if it were with other people, Lu Hongbing wouldn't even need to show up, an ordinary manager would have the right to decide on a business worth hundreds of millions.

  He came in person today to discuss this business, mainly because he is interested in Yang Yawei. After all, just one night before, he was an ordinary security guard of a company, and after one night, he wanted to start his own company. This span is not generally large, and the brief conversation last night also made Lu Hongbing full of interest in this young man, Yang Yawei.

  "I think it's enough to buy a small factory that can produce alloy, no need for it to be too big, but the equipment must be able to produce high-strength alloy." Yang Yawei replied, this estimate still needs Lu Hongbing's help, and Yang Yawei naturally wouldn't hide it.

  Lu Hongbing looked at Yang Yawei again and then thought for a moment before speaking: "How much money do you have?"

  "Seven million." Yang Yawei was stunned for a moment, but still replied to Lu Hongbing's words.

  "Not enough, at least 10 million is needed, because you need to reserve some funds. Of course, if 10 million can buy it, you can apply for a bank loan." Lu Hongbing shook his head.

  "Three million I lent you, I have pocket money." Lulu said suddenly beside him.

  Lu Hongbing just smiled and didn't say anything else, as if he and Lu were strangers.

  Yang Yiwei hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Lu Hongbing and said: "Then Uncle Lu, would you mind helping me ask around about the factory? If there's a suitable one, I'll buy it. As for the money, I'll discuss it with them when I get back."

  Lu Hongbing nodded readily and said: "Alright, let's draft an agreement. If there are no problems with it, then this matter is settled."

  "Thank you, Uncle Lu. I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you with a cup." Yang Yawei stood up and said seriously. Although it looked like a very formal negotiation, Yang Yawei knew that even in this situation, Lu Hongbing had given him a great favor.
