Turkey Bookstore? This is quite intractable. I knew that Turkey was very powerful. It’s the largest chatting software in the state now, right?
Hong Dali twitched his nose. This thing was similar to the QQ from his previous life. It wasn’t some ordinary company.
Yes, that’s right.
Ling Xiaoyi aptly informed him.
I checked with Madam this morning. Young Master Liu Mingcheng, who quarreled with you yesterday, is the second son of the CEO of Turkey Enterprise, Liu Zhiwei. This Turkey Bookstore is under his name.
En? This Liu Mingcheng is the second son of the CEO of Turkey Enterprise, Liu Zhiwei? This guy dared to go against me in school; this suggests that the Liu family and the Hong family’s relationship isn’t too good. Our families are most likely rivals in the business world—the unfriendly kind. If not, with his identity as only the second son, he wouldn’t have dared to go too far with me.
Since this Turkey Bookstore is his, this case is even more interesting. I shall play with him properly.
Since no matter how I squander, I’m still squandering, and my parents are so good to me, treasuring me like a baby, I might as well help them go against their rival while I am doing it. At least the money won’t be wasted. I don’t expect myself to be awesome, but I shall wish for my opponent to fail!
As he thought about this in his heart, though he couldn’t say it directly, as that wouldn’t be matching with his character, Hong Dali cheerfully said,
Since this is the case, let’s play a good one with him. En, when you are free, help me find out all the details and information about this Turkey Bookstore. That rascal Liu Mingcheng dared to go against me in school. I am not going to let him get away with it. This time, I shall squander on this matter, haha!
Yes, Young Master,
Ling Xiaoyi replied.
Seeing that they had reached the school, Hong Dali gave his last orders.
As for Caiwei Entertainment, you shall be responsible for hiring people. I shall not concern myself with it since I have no knowledge in this field anyway.
…
Qian Ge Headquarters Building, Tianjing City Central, Level 16.
CEO Hong.
The secretary stood in Hong Weiguo’s office, doing his report on the development of West Fourth Loop.
The progress on West Fourth Loop is going quite smoothly. We have already settled on three pieces of land, namely 60,000, 74,000, and 105,000 square meters. These three pieces of land are not too far from Ye Lai Xiang. The current buildings there are mainly old residential buildings, so the cost isn’t too great. They cost 40 million yuan, 66 million yuan, and 120 million yuan respectively. The last one costs a bit more because its location is comparatively more populated and crowded.
These three pieces of land already cost more than 200 million yuan alone, but Hong Weiguo didn’t even blink an eye. Instead, he spoke of something irrelevant.
Yesterday, Dali made me happy for quite a while. His body condition has improved significantly. That’s a good thing.
The secretary wasn’t sure what Hong Weiguo was trying to say. Luckily, Hong Weiguo went back to the topic right after.
Therefore, I have decided to give a 2,000 yuan red packet to everyone in the company, to build a happy atmosphere for Dali.
If there were red packets to be given, that was, of course, a good thing.
The secretary hurriedly bowed and said,
Then I shall give my thanks to you first, CEO Hong.
En.
Hong Weiguo inhaled a mouth of smoke, smiled, and said,
I think that, although Dali likes to squander, it has helped his body change for the better. That is good news. Pass down the message: increase the investment capital to 400 million yuan and purchase some more land around Ye Lai Xiang. If there is no more land, purchase those residential estates that are on sale to let Dali raise dogs for fun.
Hearing this, the secretary immediately continued his report.
CEO Hong, our men are already doing it. Just that… just that…
Just what? There is some problem?
Hong Weiguo asked in a baffled tone.
Yes.
The secretary handed a document to Hong Weiguo.
Currently, the only pieces of land available for purchase are these three pieces. The rest have already been developed. Furthermore, yesterday night, we started to purchase those normal residential estates for sale. But… not a lot. We only purchased about 30-some of them, and we spent a total of 22 million yuan or so.
Oh? So little?
Hong Weiguo kept silent for a while.
Then what about the Chenhui Building and the hill with Fengyuan Lake? How were the negotiations?
The secretary reported,
The negotiations for these two places went very smoothly. The asking price for Chenhui Building was 32 million yuan. We reckon that we will be able to get it at a lower price. As for Fengyuan Lake, the Bureau of National Resources didn’t ask for a very high price, only 55 million yuan. But the procedures are a bit complicated, so we still need some time.
En, looks like the current difficult part is the residential area around Ye Lai Xiang.
Hong Weiguo tapped the table lightly.
Try your best to buy that piece of land too. Then, we will be able to own all the land around Ye Lai Xiang. As for the residential estates, ask the business service department to think of something. My aim is to own all the land around Ye Lai Xiang so that it will be easier to plan and develop next time.
Yes, CEO Hong.
After receiving the latest orders, the secretary turned and exited the room, lightly closing the door as he did so.
After the secretary left, Hong Weiguo looked thoroughly at the map.
The location of Ye Lai Xiang is more toward the west, and it can be considered to be at the outer ring of the fourth loop. If not because Dali set his eyes on the hill near Fengyuan Lake, I wouldn’t have carefully observed this area.
If the land around here can be chained together, although it is only a very small part of the fourth loop, if it is developed properly, the prospects look quite good. We can build a pedestrian street and, open up some roads that connect to the parks. Then there will be hotels, restaurants, and entertainment all in one.
Looks like the hardest part now is instead the cheapest residential estates. If these commoners don’t cooperate, that will be a very difficult task. After all, we can’t force them to move away. En, let’s just wait for the news for now. There is no point trying to rush anyway. If 400 million yuan isn’t enough, use 500 million yuan. If 500 million yuan isn’t enough, use 600 million yuan. As long as Dali likes it, I shall let him play on a large scale. This child’s eyesight is not too bad anyway, heh heh.
Oh right, after purchasing all this land, I shall build a few villas on the hill at Fengyuan Lake. Then we can go there to rest and relax, and we can row boats too. That will definitely feel very good.
…
At the same time, in the residential area around Ye Lai Xiang.
Old Man, have you heard? There is a young master from a wealthy family purchasing the estates in this area, supposedly for the purpose of raising dogs. A few families that I knew were selling their estates have successfully sold away their estates, and at a good price too,
an old woman said to her mate as she was knitting a sweater.
The old man lay on a bamboo chair, shaking a fan and drinking tea.
So what if they sell? What has that got to do with us?
I was thinking. Since our grandson is already so big, why don’t we sell our house too? Then we can buy two small ones. It is a waste for just the two of us to live in such a big house anyway. What do you think?
The old woman put down the sweater and said,
Look around us. This 90-square-meter house is too empty with just the two of us.
Aiya, what are you doing meddling with the youngster’s stuff? No, I am not selling the house. After we sell, we will still have to move to another place. That’s too troublesome.
The old man mumbled and turned his body to the other side.
That’s true. Then let’s not sell it. We shall see how things go next time, then decide.
