“Of course I don’t know anything about this. No one told me. Let’s go back and take a look now,” Qiao Mei said.
Everyone was living in one of Xiang Chen’s new villas. The big group of people gathered in the living room noisily and was about to have their meal. Fortunately, this was a villa. If they were in a residential building, the neighbors would definitely complain about the noise.
As soon as Qiao Mei entered, she searched out Lu Huai. She looked at him and said, “Why are you here in Shen City with the convoy? I thought we agreed that Chi Ze would come?”
“Chi Zhe has some family issues. His father isn’t doing well, so I ask him not to come,” Lu Huai explained.
“Why didn’t anyone tell me about such a big issue? How’s his father now?” Qiao Mei asked with a frown.
“He’s doing alright. It’s a chronic illness. His health has gotten worse as he gets older. These are all the common illnesses which one gets in old age. Chi Ze says that he has an idea about what’s coming,” Lu Huai said.
“Remember to call him on my behalf later. Tell him to go and look for my grandfather if he needs anything, ” Qiao Mei said.
Lu Huai knew that Qiao Mei wanted to give Chi Ze the “divine medicine” to save his father’s life. However, before Lu Huai left on the trip, Chi Ze had told him that he did not want to disturb Qiao Mei because of his family matters. Everyone’s fate was predestined and it should not be forcefully changed. His father had already battled the illnesses for a long time and he respected his father’s wishes.
After resting for the night, Qiao Mei, Xiang Chen and the others began working on their plans to build a factory in Shen City as well as discussed their future businesses.
“The most important thing now is to find a place big enough to build a factory. I’m new here and I’m not very familiar with this place. Do any of you know where the largest piece of land is?” Qiao Mei asked.
“There are plans to develop the south side of the city. The government plans to demarcate it as an industrial zone. Many people are buying land there even though it’s very expensive. Most of the companies which are active there are foreign companies and there are very few domestic companies,” Xiang Chen said.
Qiao Mei knew that location. It would become the most prosperous street in this city in the future. She must seize this opportunity and must not let it slip.
“What are the available plots of land left?” Qiao Mei asked.
“There are still three more plots. One is about 13,000 square meters and the other is about 16,000 square meters. These two plots are very popular and the price is already 13% higher than usual! The last plot is very big and no one has expressed interest to buy it. It’s about 60,000 square meters,” Wu Duo said.
“Not bad, you know this information like the back of your hand. It seems that you’ve been learning well from Xiang Chen,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Wu Duo approvingly.
Xiang Chen had always wanted to go into business and he also majored in economics in university. He had good business instincts and was in tune with the market, but Wu Duo was different. Wu Duo grew up in the countryside and had never done any business before. It would take a long time for him to catch up with Xiang Chen.
“Since I want to do well, I must not embarrass my mentor,” Wu Duo said.
“Xiang Chen, go and buy that 60,000 square meters plot now,” Qiao Mei said casually.
“Cousin-in-law, do you know how expensive this plot of land is? The price is an astronomical sum!” Xiang Chen said with a slightly trembling voice.
Qiao Mei knew that it would be very expensive, but she must get that plot of land. The money she had earned in the past two years was definitely enough to buy this piece of land in cash. In another two years, the domestic economy would advance by leaps and bounds and money would only depreciate in value if left in the bank. She might as well use it to buy land!
“It can’t cost hundreds of millions, right?” Qiao Mei asked.
“No, not there yet. It’s 20 million dollars,” Xiang Chen said.
“No problem then. Go and negotiate the deal now. It’s now or never. If someone else gets the plot of land, I’ll hold you accountable!” Qiao Mei pointed at Xiang Chen and threatened him.
Xiang Chen picked up his bag and car keys and ran out. The rest of them went off to start hiring engineers and general workers. Qiao Mei told Luo Yu to go to Country M to bring Li Xin and Liu Guang back. She could not just leave the two families there.
The matter with the Huang family could be considered to have come to an end for the time being. The Huang family was in a mess now and their relatives had all gone to settle the score with Huang Quan!
They had heard that Tan Jing had gotten pregnant again some time ago. One month into the pregnancy, Huang Quan beat her up so badly that she had a miscarriage.. This was a very serious issue and Huang Quan was almost sacked from his job because of it!
