The Han Group is located in the bustling heart of Jiangnan City.
This is the most prosperous area of Jiangnan City, with ample supporting facilities.
However, Han Xiyao had Zhang Yang drive away from the busy district.
They arrived at a hotel in the outer areas.
Coincidentally, the hotel's name was the same as the city's, Jiangnan Grand Hotel.
Upon arrival, the four entered a pre-booked private room.
When ordering food, Zhang Yang was somewhat surprised.
Han Xiyao, who had always disliked extravagance and waste, had splurged this time.
The dishes alone cost fifty to sixty thousand yuan, and she even opened a bottle of fifty-thousand-yuan wine.
Even to curry favor with Guan Fenghua and Luo Yiren, this level of spending was unnecessary.
With a sense of curiosity, Zhang Yang listened to the three women discuss business matters.
After listening for a while, Zhang Yang was greatly shocked.
Guan Fenghua and Luo Yiren were seeking to cooperate with Han Xiyao on the joint development of old residential areas.
This was completely unexpected for Zhang Yang.
The old residential areas were located in the southern part of Jiangnan City, a barren and impoverished region.
People there basically scrambled to get out.
Why would both the Guan and Luo families have this idea, wanting to enter this area with Han Xiyao?
"If I remember correctly, the Guan and Luo families' businesses are not involved in the real estate industry, are they?" Zhang Yang interjected.
In response.
Guan Fenghua merely glanced at him indifferently, offering no explanation.
Luo Yiren, however, explained with great understanding.
"Little brother, your information is outdated. In a while, the old residential areas will become extremely valuable."
"Even if our two families are not involved in real estate, it doesn't stop us from entering now."
"Extremely valuable? Are you kidding me?" Zhang Yang was stunned by her words.
Luo Yiren blinked her eyes and teased.
"Come home with me tonight, and I'll tell you slowly, okay?"
Uh~
Zhang Yang was a bit helpless.
Luo Yiren was always so forward, unable to maintain a serious demeanor for even a moment.
This sudden teasing made him hesitant to respond.
Fortunately, Han Xiyao spoke up to explain for Zhang Yang.
This finally made Zhang Yang understand the situation.
Currently, Jiangnan City was a leader in economic development within the entire province.
However, its infrastructure development was extremely backward.
Even in the current city center of Jiangnan, most buildings were constructed over ten years ago.
The entire city appeared somewhat lacking compared to first-tier cities.
If they were to directly renovate the busy district, it would be difficult to make drastic changes.
And if they made minor localized modifications, the full results would not be evident.
Therefore, the Jiangnan City government decided to undertake a complete development of the southern part of Jiangnan City.
Creating a Jiangnan New District.
This was only part of it.
The Guan and Luo families were deeply rooted in Jiangnan City and had considerable channels for obtaining information.
They had heard that once the Jiangnan New District was completed, the Jiangnan City government would also relocate there.
Furthermore, the entire southern area would be connected by subway.
This way, in a short period, the formerly poor, backward, and neglected southern area would indeed become extremely valuable, as Luo Yiren had said.
And the land in the old residential areas, which the Han Group had acquired early on, was located right in the center of the southern development zone.
Naturally, this became the reason for the Guan and Luo families to actively seek cooperation.
"I didn't expect the Jiangnan City government to be so wealthy, truly rich and powerful."
"However, it's good that they're demolishing it; this way, the residents of the old residential areas can also live much better lives," Zhang Yang mused.
Thinking of the familiar residents living in the old residential areas, who struggled daily for basic necessities,
He felt happy for them upon hearing this news.
At this moment.
A waiter pushed open the door and brought in plates of expensive and exquisitely presented dishes.
As the three women ate, they continued to discuss matters of future cooperation.
Zhang Yang couldn't contribute to such discussions and focused on eating.
Although he didn't participate, Zhang Yang managed to grasp the general idea of the cooperation method the three women finally decided upon.
Since Han's Group's land had become valuable.
Han's Group would hold a forty percent stake, contributing only the land.
The Guan and Luo families would provide the capital for construction, each holding a thirty percent stake.
"Come, President Guan, President Luo, let's toast to our successful cooperation."
After finalizing the agreement, Han Xiyao raised her glass of red wine.
Guan Fenghua and Luo Yiren also stood up with their wine glasses.
Zhang Yang, who was focused on eating, glanced at the juice in front of him, as he had to drive later.
He didn't even consider standing up and continued to bury his head in eating.
He had never eaten such an expensive meal in his life.
The three clinked their glasses, and the sound of the red wine glasses was crisp.
They drank it all in one go.
"Sister Han, we're all around the same age, so don't always call us 'President.' You're making us feel old," Luo Yiren said with a smile.
"Let's call each other sisters from now on. I'm a bit older, so you can call me Sister Yiren."
Han Xiyao thought for a moment and smiled, nodding in agreement.
Guan Fenghua, being a year younger than Luo Yiren, frowned slightly but eventually nodded silently.
"Are you all done eating? Shall we go?" Zhang Yang asked, wiping his mouth after he had eaten his fill.
"Don't rush, we're waiting for someone," Han Xiyao shook her head.
"Waiting for someone? Who?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
"The owner of this hotel. You don't know him."
Her choice to dine at the Jiangnan Grand Hotel today was deliberate.
Moreover, the names of Guan Fenghua and Luo Yiren were also used when booking the private room.
Han Xiyao believed that the owner would definitely receive the news, and thus would likely meet with them.
"Oh, alright then. You wait, I'll go pay the bill, but I'll need reimbursement."
Zhang Yang had no interest in gossip. He made an excuse and quickly walked out.
During the meal, the three women had already finished discussing their important matters.
Zhang Yang was worried that if Luo Yiren was idle, she would tease him again.
So he quickly found an excuse to slip away.
Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble Luo Yiren would stir up next.
At the same time.
As Zhang Yang walked towards the counter, he encountered two unfamiliar acquaintances.
"Auntie, Sister Xin, what a coincidence, are you also dining here?" Zhang Yang greeted them with a smile.
Mother Huang and Huang Xin turned to look.
Upon seeing Zhang Yang, the mother and daughter frowned, their eyes filled with disdain.
"Zhang Yang? Are you working here now?" Huang Xin asked.
"No, I'm driving my boss and the others here for a meal," Zhang Yang replied.
"Oh, just a driver." Huang Xin nodded and lost interest in talking to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang smiled faintly.
He had long seen through this snobbish mother and daughter.
Otherwise,
They wouldn't have kicked him out immediately after his adoptive father passed away.
But regardless, they had once lived under the same roof.
Zhang Yang knew that Huang Xin and her mother lived in the old residential areas, so he intended to inform them about the impending demolition.
"Auntie, you still live in the old residential areas, right? I have good news for you, they're going to start relocating soon."
Relocating?
Huang Xin and her mother were stunned, their expressions somewhat strange.
"Zhang Yang, where did you get this information about relocation?" Mother Huang asked suspiciously.
"My boss told me, she..."
As Zhang Yang was about to explain, Huang Xin interrupted him.
"You're just a driver, how could you know about something like this?"
"Mom, don't be fooled. Zhang Yang probably heard that Feng Jie helped us find someone to buy the house."
"He can't stand seeing us move out of that poor place and wants to trick us into staying and suffering."
