Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 144: Got it!

"Xiao Lin, I’m not making things difficult for you. You need to understand the purpose behind the school’s construction of the incubator area. Just like the three office buildings in Zone L, each one houses at least five campus enterprises, and each of them has an annual production value of over fifty million."

He poured another cup of tea before continuing in a sincere tone:

"So you see how much support I’m giving you, right? Without even knowing what you’re planning, I’m entrusting an entire office building to you. This is putting a lot of pressure on me."

He was clearly taking credit with those words, and indeed, it was true.

Lin Yi nodded knowingly in response.

Seeing this, Lao Cheng felt quite satisfied, thinking that the kid understood his point.

But before he could fill his teacup, Lin Yi’s voice rang out again:

"In that case, I shouldn’t make things hard for you either. Here’s the deal: I won’t ask for the entire Zone L, just give me the six office buildings in the very center. I’ll make do with that."

Lao Cheng’s hand trembled as he was pouring tea, almost spilling it out.

Well then, all those words were like playing music to a cow.

"Six buildings are not possible either. I just don’t have that kind of authority."

As soon as he said that, Lin Yi immediately asked:

"Impossible, as a vice-principal, how could you not have authority over six buildings? If you’re not renting, just say so, don’t try to trick me."

Faced with Lin Yi’s barrage of questions, the usually shrewd Lao Cheng found himself puzzled and blurted out defensively:

"Hey, you rascal, why would I lie to you? There are several vice-principals at our school. To be honest, my authority is only over five office buildings, so when I say it’s impossible, it’s really impossible."

As soon as he said that, Lao Cheng felt something was off, realizing he might have been tricked by this kid.

Sure enough, as Lao Cheng gathered his thoughts, he heard Lin Yi say:

"Hehe, five buildings will do! Let’s start with five buildings to get by."

Upon hearing this, Lao Cheng put down his tea and shook his head like a rattle:

"No, no, I can’t give them all to you. What if something is filed and I have none left?"

Clap!

No sooner had Lao Cheng finished speaking than Lin Yi pulled another small wooden box identical to the previous one out of his pocket and placed it in front of Lao Cheng:

"I really need it; a single office isn’t enough. Ahem, here, I have another box of top-grade Imperial Qian Longjing Tea from the eighteen trees. Since you like tea, you should take it and enjoy it. I don’t understand tea, so drinking it would be a waste."

Upon these words, Lao Cheng’s eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Yi in disbelief as he spoke:

"What did you say?? Did you say this is the Imperial Qian Longjing from those eighteen trees??"

Seeing Lin Yi nod, Lao Cheng’s hand trembled as he held the teapot.

No wonder it tasted so good to him.

He used to wonder why the Longjing he’d had before didn’t taste this good. Turns out it was from those 18 trees!!

With this understanding, Lao Cheng’s eyes sparkled; this stuff is money can’t buy.

He carefully picked up the tea box, holding it like a treasure.

Especially thinking back to when he actually spat out a sip earlier, his heart ached immensely.

"Why didn’t you tell me this earlier, kid? This stuff is incredibly precious. No, it’s too valuable to take for free. Look, take this bank card. Consider this tea as me buying it from you."

Originally about to refuse the money, Lin Yi laughed and pocketed the card after seeing Lao Cheng’s expression of refusing the tea leaves if he didn’t take the card.

He then put on a cheerful expression:

"You mentioned those little companies have an annual output value of over ten million each, with five small companies per office building, meaning their annual output value is around 200-300 million.

So I assure you, give me those five buildings, and within a year, I’ll create a company valued at over fifty billion for you. How does that sound?"

"Are you serious?"

Hearing Lin Yi mention fifty billion in a year, Lao Cheng’s attention shifted from the tea leaves back to Lin Yi, looking at him with a suspicious expression.

It seemed he wanted to see if Lin Yi was bluffing.

However, after examining for a while, there was no sign of bluffing on Lin Yi’s face, and Lao Cheng fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lin Yi didn’t interrupt, instead leisurely pouring himself another cup of tea to sip.

Finally, as Lin Yi reached for the teapot after finishing his third cup, Lao Cheng spoke:

"Three buildings, I can give you at most three. If by a year you truly create a company valued at thirty billion, then I’ll apply to the school for more office space. Don’t haggle with me anymore; this is my bottom line, as long as you’re not deceiving me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi placed his teacup on the tea tray and smiled:

"Alright, since you’ve said so, I’ll make do. Now, please prepare the paperwork for me to proceed with the payment."

Seeing Lin Yi’s satisfied expression, Lao Cheng couldn’t help but twitch his lips. Such calculating moves, the kid’s really wasting talent if he doesn’t go into business.

Reluctantly getting up and heading to his bookcase, Lao Cheng found the approval forms for the properties, signed them with a few quick strokes, and handed them to Lin Yi.

Because of his special approval, the usual reporting process was bypassed.

"Alright, alright, is there anything else? If not, get going. Just looking at you makes me feel uneasy. Sigh, I painstakingly saved up this little bit of assets, and you snatched away more than half in one go..."

Of course, this was just a casual joke. These incubator facilities were meant for capable students. If Lin Yi truly achieved a fifty billion valuation in a year, he would confidently clear the entire Zone L for him.

Of course, all this was just speculation, as even Lao Cheng himself didn’t fully believe it...

"Haha, I’m just resolving a problem for you, no need to thank me. Just provide more support policies in the future. You’re busy, so I’ll go make the payment."

With that, Lin Yi turned to leave.
