It’s not the house with the issue, it’s you!

I was afraid you’d choose another house that would screw me over in the future, so I tempted you with a low price to choose this one!

“CEO Cheng, let me speak frankly, for such a young and promising person like you to come to America and start doing such big business in no time.

This house I’m renting is for a friend, and he requires reliable tenants, which made me think of you, and it could also be a good deed for you.

If there’s any business I can help with in the future, don’t forget about me, CEO Cheng.”

Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Li Haiping made up an excuse, sincerely flattering Cheng Daqi.

Damn thing, it’s so cheap and you still suspect there’s a problem,

Two thousand dollars a month, twenty-four thousand a year, I f*cking spent nearly thirty grand on renovations and you want to live here for twenty-four thousand for a year!

And you talk about it being a haunted house!

This is the wedding house I prepared for my daughter!

“You’re too kind, Elder Li.

How about this, you take me back inside for another look, just the two of us.”

Cheng Daqi planned to probe this agent again.

The house Li Haiping recommended was too good of a deal, which made him very suspicious.

“No problem, CEO Cheng, you can take a look at anything you want, I’ll give you another tour.”

“You guys wait here for a bit, I’ll be right out.”

After giving his friends a quick word, Cheng Daqi escorted Li Haiping back into the house, arm around his shoulder.

“Would this be considered a villa?”

Cheng Daqi honestly didn’t understand the types of houses in America very well.

“Not really, this is land bought separately, and the owner had a design company build the house, but it’s only considered a standard residence, albeit with better decoration.”

Looking at the neat and smooth hardwood floor, Li Haiping spoke with a fluctuating tone.

He was really living in Bengbu, and it was truly miserable.

The floorboards were even imported from Canada, the whole house’s flooring cost over forty thousand dollars.

Just the raw materials cost over forty thousand dollars, and every plank on the floor was laid by Li Haiping himself!

As an older generation Chinese immigrant, he was hardworking and unpretentious, diligently laying such expensive hardwood flooring by hand.

Now, to rent it out to Cheng Daqi, he actually had to downplay the quality of his own house.

Of course, the house wasn’t luxurious, but Li Haiping had put a lot of thought into the decorations.

In terms of living comfort, this house was better than most luxury homes.

“Alright, then, Elder Li, I’ve met a friend from America whose clients are all politicians.

City councilors, state legislators, and stuff like that—I can’t discuss the specifics openly, just pretend you didn’t hear this, you get it?”

Cheng Daqi planned to pull Eris into the conversation to add pressure and see if Li Haiping had any ulterior motives.

“Got it, got it.”

Li Haiping was a bit nervous; he was reminded of the gangsters in American movies.

Most gangs that grow big and powerful have a big BOSS behind them.

‘Is he threatening me?

Does he still want to negotiate a lower price?’

Shaking his head, Cheng Daqi took a seat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

“You still don’t understand, I’ve already made it so clear.

Elder Li, you previously said that residency can only be dealt with through official channels, and there’s no way around the immigration department, right?”

You didn’t make anything clear!

“CEO Cheng, you mean?”

Hurriedly fetching an ashtray for Cheng Daqi, Li Haiping asked incredulously.

It was just that Cheng Daqi had an unconventional approach; a few days ago, he had spent a hundred dollars consulting about residency issues.

And now, less than a week later, he was already waving the flag of the immigration department.

If Li Haiping had easily believed Cheng Daqi’s words, he wouldn’t have been able to afford such an expensive house.

“I have some business cooperation with this friend, so he introduced me to a way of getting residency,

The quote isn’t cheap, but the residencies offered through this channel are guaranteed authentic.”

“Authentic?”

“All are handled by the personnel in charge of the respective tasks.”

Giving Li Haiping a sidelong glance, Cheng Daqi’s voice was deep, like a demon whispering.

“Elder Li, can you confirm the identity of the person handling this?”

Realizing the immense business opportunity, Li Haiping was extremely excited.

America is an immigrant country, but in recent years, there has been a targeted tightening of immigration policies.

And the target is Hua Country.

In such a situation, if one could penetrate the immigration department’s chain of benefits, Li Haiping couldn’t imagine the profits involved.

“I’m sure, but the starting price is forty thousand dollars for a regular family immigration,

Seventy thousand for skilled immigration, and the prices they set are very firm, not easy to negotiate, do you think there’s a market for it?”

Eris wanted to tack on an extra thirty grand minimum, considering the financial capabilities of those who use grey channels for immigration, Cheng Daqi didn’t dare to add too much.

The absurdity of the world was just so outrageous; originally priced at 15,000, Eris doubled it, and Cheng Daqi added another 10,000.

And even the price that had been turned over twice still greatly tempted Li Haiping.

Li Haiping checked the exchange rates every day, and he instantly calculated the corresponding price in Hua currency in his mind.

The intermediary, with his thinning hair, excitedly pushed up his glasses.

“Immigration for relatives costs 400,000, can it be done without relatives?

If possible, I could bring in a hundred thousand people from home at this price,

CEO Cheng, if we can discuss the price again, the profit margin could be higher.”

This intermediary didn’t consider the more cost-effective skilled immigration but instead precisely grasped the entry-level business.

For 400,000, buying a legal American identity, he truly had the confidence to find a hundred thousand buyers.

“It’s not that there are no relatives; choose your words carefully.

It should be said that it can be done in America even without relatives.

Though this channel is expensive, it’s also very strong.

It’s just that I don’t have much experience in this area.”

“We could even create two levels of agents with this price; raising it to 500,000 might not be an issue.

The only trouble is, if we handle too many, we might draw attention.”

Li Haiping’s eyes were alight with the flames of ambition.

He saw his future income reaching tens of millions of Dollars.

Risk?

When has making money in the grey market ever been without risks!

“After all, Elder Li is in this business, and with your insight, I feel reassured,

Okay, once I’ve really made money, I will surely repay Elder Li for your guidance today!”

Cheng Daqi pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stood up to leave.

Intermediary Li Haiping was instantly dumbfounded.

Brother, the implication of your words just now, wasn’t it to partner with me?

Now I’ve clearly calculated everything for you, helped you think of how to build a distribution system.

And now you pull up your pants and run off?

Cheng Daqi!

You go too far!

“CEO Cheng, wait a moment, CEO Cheng, please wait, I…

uh!”

Grasping at Cheng Daqi’s clothes with his hand, Li Haiping spoke urgently.

The intermediary could not consider anything else at this moment; if such a massive opportunity slipped through his fingers, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Whirling around, Cheng Daqi pushed Li Haiping against the wall, his eyes filled with an oppressive force.

The test was over, time to step up the pressure.

Lao Deng, do you have the guts to partner with me?

If we indeed process a large volume through Eris’s channel for identities, the price could certainly be negotiated down.

But courage and desire are very important in a partner.

Insufficient courage will doom everyone in the future, and without strong desire, there is no value in partnering.

If Li Haiping couldn’t stay composed or chose to give up after being bluffed, then Cheng Daqi certainly couldn’t partner with him.

Cheng Daqi had always been reluctant to make money through grey avenues to avoid being vulnerable in the future.

But if Li Haiping had the capacity to act as an agent for this business, that was a different matter.

Currently, Cheng Daqi was desperate for cash flow, with the price of Ethereum lying there.

If he didn’t dive in and buy heavily, it would indeed be a waste of the foresight his rebirth had afforded him.

Moreover, sending such profitable individuals from Hua Country to America would be remarkably beneficial!

“Elder Li, what makes you think you’re qualified to partner with me?

And pulling at my clothes, ha.

My clothes are tailor-made for tens of thousands of Dollars, you’ve already pulled it out of shape, how will you compensate?”

Bluffing, swindling, asking for money directly.

Cheng Daqi was using the simplest of tricks, a test of obedience combined with intense pressure.

Put a big carrot in front, and Li Haiping was that donkey.

It remained to be seen if he had the guts to follow.

This method quickly revealed how much desire and courage a person truly had.

If Li Haiping was truly willing to abandon his dignity and pay compensation just to partner up, Cheng Daqi could really trust him.

Only for money.

Interest-based relationships are the most stable; in the future, as long as there is enough benefit, current conflicts are nothing more than the stuff of three drinks.

When doing grey area business, being soft on oneself won’t do, Elder Li.

If you’re not ruthless, how can I trust you won’t betray me?

If you’re not smart, how can I trust you won’t betray me?

If you’re not greedy, how can I trust you won’t betray me?
