Zhang Weiguang held up three fingers: "At least twenty million. Dad, this is like hatching eggs from a borrowed chicken. With twenty million as seed money, if we get the project payment in two years, our gross profit will be at least thirty million. The interest for two years will only be six million, leaving us with a gross profit of twenty-four million. After deducting various expenses, we should still have twenty million left, right?"
Lin Jinsheng stroked his chin: "But the key is, can the other party guarantee that they will pay us the project funds?"
Zhang Weiguang: "Of course, they can guarantee it. They are big bosses, with assets in the tens of billions. Do they lack this little bit of money for us?"
Lin Jinsheng asked Ye Tian: "Ye Tian, what do you think?"
Ye Tian didn't understand engineering, but he knew a principle: nothing comes for free. He said, "Uncle, undertaking this kind of project is too risky. After your current projects are finished, I can introduce you to some more reliable ones."
Hearing Ye Tian say this, Zhang Weiguang immediately became displeased. He said angrily, "Ye Tian, what do you know! Boss Liu has tens of billions in assets. It's all thanks to my dad's connections that we can undertake his project. Others don't even have a way to get it!"
Ye Tian said, "Since it's like hatching eggs from a borrowed chicken and there's no risk, I think you can take on this project yourself."
As soon as he said this, Lin Jinsheng's heart stirred. Yes, why didn't Zhang Weiguang take it on himself?
Zhang Weiguang's expression stiffened, and then he said, "I'm just giving the opportunity to Dad. Besides, I have projects on hand and don't need it."
Ye Tian: "When something is too good to be true, there's usually a catch. Normally, when undertaking a project, an advance payment is given. For one like this, where no payment is given upfront, I think there must be a problem."
This time, Lin Ni also got angry and said, "Ye Tian, you can't get projects yourself, so you're here to stir up trouble. If you're so capable, why don't you find a project for Dad too!"
Lin Ziyi said, "Sister, you might be surprised, but Ye Tian can really help Dad get a project, and there will definitely be an advance payment."
"Is that so?" Lin Ni pouted. "Hmph, I'm just afraid some people won't get any projects at all!"
Ye Tian asked Lin Jinsheng, "Uncle, what kind of projects do you usually undertake?"
Lin Jinsheng smiled and said, "I do everything. My specialties are roads, landscaping, and walls."
Ye Tian then asked, "With your current resources, what is the maximum scale of project you can undertake in terms of funding?"
Lin Jinsheng thought for a moment: "We engineers are greedy. With one million, we dare to take on a ten-million project. But everything has a limit. I should be able to take on projects ranging from fifty million to one hundred million. In this case, the profit would be between fifteen million and thirty million. Of course, the main problem is funding. With less funding, even a ten-million project is difficult. With sufficient funding, I can do a hundred-million project." Da Feng Novel Network
Ye Tian nodded: "Then I'll ask a friend for you another day to see if there are any suitable jobs for you."
Lin Jinsheng now fully trusted Ye Tian. He smiled and said, "That would be great. If you can secure a big project, that would be even better."
Zhang Weiguang curled his lips: "Dad, if he can get a project, I'll say my name backward."
Lin Ziyi, indignant, asked, "Brother-in-law, if you write your name backward, wouldn't it be Guang Wei Zhang?"
Zhang Weiguang glared at Lin Ziyi, while Lin Ni said, "Ziyi, how can you talk to your brother-in-law like that?"
Since Zhang Weiguang had arrived, Ye Tian saw no need to stay longer. After a brief chat, he left.
Back home, Ye Shaodong was helping Yan'er with her homework.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Tian, have you eaten?"
Ye Tian: "Brother, I've eaten. Have you and Yan'er eaten?"
Yan'er smiled and said, "Uncle, Dad's pasta is delicious."
Ye Tian: "Brother, you can cook now. It seems you've recovered well."
Ye Shaodong: "I'm not much different from a normal person. In a few days, I'll be back to my peak condition."
After Yan'er finished her homework, the little one went back to her room to rest. The family's misfortunes over the years had made Yan'er particularly sensible, and she went to bed on time every day.
After Yan'er had gone to sleep, Ye Shaodong took out a bottle of wine and opened it. He said, "Xiao Tian, have a few drinks with me."
Ye Tian hummed in agreement. He got cups, and the two brothers started drinking, accompanied by peanuts and shredded kelp.
After two cups of wine, Ye Shaodong said, "I never thought I'd recover. Xiao Tian, your medical skills are truly miraculous. No wonder you saved so many important people in prison."
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Brother, it's good that you've recovered. Now you can take good care of Yan'er."
Ye Shaodong drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, as if he had something to say. He asked, "Xiao Tian, do you remember anything from when we were kids?"
