Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 422 - Chapter 422 Chapter 411 Buying Back Qirui

Chapter 422: Chapter 411 Buying Back Qirui Chapter 422: Chapter 411 Buying Back Qirui Su Hongying had married the brutish Xie Kaixiao back then to protect herself and her two sons. Her origins also led to many difficulties after she entered the Xie Family, and she almost lost her life when giving birth to Yichen. Although she survived, she ended up with a chronic illness.

Not only Su Heyuan, but Father Su and Su Heming had all felt guilty over the years. Later on, when they made money, they kept giving Su Hongying large sums of money, and when she refused to accept it, they bought her all kinds of tonics and supplements.

This time, instead of hating Xie Kaixiao, it was more accurate to say that Su Heyuan hated himself. He hated that he had been incapable of being Su Hongying’s support, allowing her to be hurt once again.

Lu Jiaxin said, “You don’t need to worry, I believe that Aunt Su will get better and better.”

Su Heyuan did not respond to that. He brought up the topic he had mentioned before, “Jiaxin, I’m thinking of selling Qirui. I don’t know if you’d like to buy it or not? If you want it, I’ll sell it to you; if not, I’ll turn it over to someone else.”

Lu Jiaxin asked with furrowed brows, “Big Brother Su, are you thinking about selling Qirui because you want to invest all the money into your property development company?”

Last month, Su Heyuan had acquired a property development company. He didn’t borrow money from Lu Jiaxin, but instead, through connections with Nie Zhan, he secured a loan from Wansheng Bank.

Su Heyuan nodded and replied, “Qirui is profitable, but it pales in comparison to property development. I have my eye on a piece of land that I want to win and develop into a residential complex, but there’s not enough money.”

Lu Jiaxin knew he had made up his mind, or he wouldn’t have mentioned it to her. Without hesitation, she said, “I’ll buy Qirui, but you need to sell all the shares to me.”

Su Heyuan was somewhat surprised, having thought that Lu Jiaxin wouldn’t want Qirui and had already found another buyer. However, since Lu Jiaxin wanted it, he would definitely sell it to her, “Jiaxin, who will you have manage Qirui after you buy it?”

Lu Jiaxin replied, “I will hire professional managers to run the company. I’ll just be responsible for the overall direction, but I intend to let Nie Zhan acquire the company.”

Su Heyuan had not expected such a plan from her, “Qirui’s profit for the first half of the year was thirty-nine million, and its market value is over two billion. You want to put it under Nie Zhan’s name?”

Lu Jiaxin dispelled his doubts with a single sentence, “Ah Zhan has made far more than that by trading foreign exchange for me. With the company in his name, Qirui will only get better.”

She felt that, given Nie Zhan’s nature, with such high profits from Qirui, it would most likely go public within two years. But going public would also raise the company’s profile, which was a good thing.

Su Heyuan remarked, “Nie Zhan has been making big moves lately, opening a jewelry company, acquiring major hotels, and now he will help you manage the clothing company. Jiaxin, are you sure he can handle it all?”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “He just needs to focus on the big picture. There are others to handle the details. Besides, he has me!”

Su Heyuan didn’t say anything further, “Jiaxin, I want to secure that land as soon as possible. Can you pay half of the money upfront? We can wait for the audit to finish before paying the other half. I’m worried that if we delay, someone else will snap up that land.”

Lu Jiaxin declined, stating that this was not in accordance with the procedures, “Paying half upfront is definitely not possible. However, if you really need the money urgently, I could lend it to you first.”

Su Heyuan held back but finally couldn’t help but ask, “Jiaxin, how much exactly have you earned in the foreign exchange market? It seems like you have more cash than you can possibly use.”

Lu Jiaxin naturally wouldn’t reveal everything to him. She said with a laugh, “Xinxin Real Estate’s acquisitions may seem costly, but the monthly rent is considerable; Green Forest only required a large initial investment, and the rest was borrowed from the banks.”

Su Heyuan apologized, “Jiaxin, my mind is a bit messy today; I hope you won’t take the earlier matter to heart.”

Lu Jiaxin jokingly replied, “If I were to take such small matters to heart, my heart would have failed a long time ago.”

Having said that, she reassured him, “Don’t overthink it. Everyone loses control of their emotions from time to time. There was even a period when I thought of perishing together with Ding Jing and her daughter!”

After chatting for a while longer, Su Heyuan left.

It was getting dark when Nie Zhan arrived. Seeing Lu Jiaxin, he smiled and said, “You’ve tanned quite a bit, looks like you’ve been basking in the sun every day on the Mainland.”

In her past life, Lu Jiaxin used to fear getting tanned, thinking it made her look less attractive and caused freckles, so she would dress from head to toe when going out in summer. Now, well, being tanned looked quite nice, a healthy beauty!

The food arrived quickly, and both were hungry, so they focused on eating without talking.

After finishing, they went for a walk in the backyard garden. Lu Jiaxin, arm in arm with Nie Zhan, said while walking, “Big Brother Su came to see me today, he said he wants to sell Qirui back to me.”

Nie Zhan wasn’t surprised at all, “He is now focused on the real estate business, not just Qirui, but he also wants to sell the appliance factory on the Mainland. It was only because Su Heming disagreed that he dropped the idea.”

To think he even considered selling the appliance factory, Lu Jiaxin thought he was tunneling too deeply into a narrow perspective.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Nie Zhan said, “Jiaxin, Qirui makes a profit of seventy to eighty million a year, which is equivalent to a small real estate company. Su Heyuan is going to regret selling Qirui.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “Qirui has broken into the Southeast Asia market, which is quite an achievement. However, it’s not suitable for Qirui to be under my name, Ah Zhan, you should acquire it!”

“Okay,” Nie Zhan agreed. Although Qirui had high sales and significant profits, it had a fatal flaw: most of its clothing designs were based on trends from Europe and America. Therefore, the company wasn’t suitable under Jiaxin’s name, but it would be fine under his as a businessman.

Lu Jiaxin said sweetly, “Ah Zhan, you’re so kind.”

Nie Zhan was very pleased with this comment.

After some endearing moments, Nie Zhan said, “The shares in Xue Mao’s hands will also be transferred to my name, and then I’ll hire someone to manage the company. Within three years, I aim to take it public.”

It turned out just as she anticipated–Nie Zhan wanted to go public once he obtained the company. She didn’t oppose the idea and said, “I’ll talk to him tomorrow. Then you can set up a time to sign the contract.”

Xue Mao was already working in the big hotel that Nie Zhan had acquired. In the Mainland, Lu Jiaxin was not worried about the exposure of the shares in Qirui under his name. For one thing, information wasn’t as accessible on the Mainland; for another, the work environment was uncomplicated, and those senior brothers who knew his background wouldn’t overthink it. However, Hong Kong was different–anything could be found out with enough money. Thus, these shares could no longer remain in his possession, or they might bring him harm.

“So decisive. I thought you might reject the idea?”

Lu Jiaxin shared her concerns, “Once he is certain that he will stay in Hong Kong and not return, and his job is stable, I’ll buy him an apartment. I’ll help him with half of the down payment, and he can mortgage the rest.”

Nie Zhan was very satisfied with her arrangement, “If he’s paying the mortgage with his own money, he’ll work hard. If everything is provided for him, he’ll just become dependent on you, no different from a parasite.”

“By the tone of your voice, have you encountered such people?”

Nie Zhan hummed in affirmation and said, “The Kang Family is like that.”
