Su Yhao's father wasn't young anymore, and it wasn't a secret that he kept a mistress, his fourth concubine, outside.

He occasionally took her to social events, which had even made the newspapers. Their relationship had lasted for several years, but he rarely brought her in front of Su Yhao.

It was indeed awkward to introduce a blonde woman, more than ten years younger, to his son.

Even Su's father, with his thick skin, deliberately avoided letting her meet Su Yhao. The hot, white woman similarly showed no inclination to get close to Su Yhao.

In the last six months, Su Yhao hadn't seen the fourth concubine once.

Now, sitting at the dining table and seeing his father drinking with Master Jiang without needing encouragement, Su Yhao felt that the old man was quite unlucky.

Heartbreak didn't discriminate by age, status, or position. As long as it was real, it was uncomfortable for anyone.

Moreover, according to the second concubine, his father had been used and then kicked to the curb.

Su's father kept the fourth concubine, and the fourth concubine kept a gigolo. This messy situation made it hard to say who was more wrong. In any case, neither of them were paragons of fidelity, so it was probably for the best that they parted ways.

Jiang Yu sat at the dining table, eating steamed grouper. She hadn't heard about her godfather, Su's father's, embarrassing situation, and only felt that the atmosphere was a little strange today.

However, Su Yhao had once again made this girl grit her teeth. Why did Su Yhao call her father "Father-in-law"? It was obviously taking advantage of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu secretly noted it down, thinking about finding a chance to gossip in front of Nangong Tian.

On second thought, she felt that Xiao Ni Zi and Su Yhao were in cahoots, and she might be teased instead, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

She decided to let it go. Anyway, she often suffered losses, she was used to it...

Master Jiang had heard about the fourth concubine, so he kept quiet and just drank with his boss.

During the meal, Master Jiang livened up the atmosphere, making conversation and asked, "Mr. Su, has the Cultural Tourism City in Pengcheng started construction? Recently, many Hong Kong construction companies have approached me, wanting to get some orders from you."

Su's father waved his chopsticks and calmly replied:

"There's no rush for development. Housing prices are falling again and again, and it won't fetch a good price if it's developed in the short term. I got the land at a low price, so I'm not in a hurry to sell it. Looking at the current situation, it doesn't matter if I hold onto it for a few more years. I'll build shopping malls and office buildings first, lay the foundation, and wait until the houses start to be worth money, then it won't be too late to start construction."

Su Yhao's eyes lit up when he heard this. This idea could be said to be very valuable.

Most other plots of land had restrictions on development time, stipulating when construction had to start at the latest when the land was acquired, otherwise the land would be reclaimed without compensation.

Although it wasn't necessarily true that they would take action, it was still a red line that made people feel apprehensive.

It was fine when nothing happened, but once this big knife really fell, the real money spent on acquiring the land would be wasted.

However, the Sihai International Cultural Tourism City located on the edge of Pengcheng Bay was different. With more than four thousand acres of land, it would be reasonable to complete the development gradually within ten years, making it very suitable for speculating on land.

Although developing it earlier could recover funds and allow the money to be used to buy other land,

In Su Yhao's view, it would definitely be much more difficult to obtain large areas of prime urban land at low prices in the future than it was now. Developing and selling it too early would be useless, so it would be better to save some effort, hold onto the land, and wait for housing prices and land prices to rise.

Moreover, after the land appreciates in value, it can be used as collateral for bank loans, which would not affect subsequent expansion and continued acquisition of land for the development of other projects.

Master Jiang nodded and continued, "That's what I think too. As soon as you got the approval, Mr. Su, other developers from Hong Kong ran over to try to get similar low-priced land. It's just that they've already bought a lot before, and some projects haven't moved for several years. I guess they don't have as much face as you, so it's hard to negotiate."

Su's father smiled, eating beef balls, and said:

"That's for sure. I'm a well-known enterprise in Casino, and it's also my first time investing in the mainland. Recently, the atmosphere in the north has begun to tighten. The comprehensive cancellation of welfare housing and the start of the market-oriented development of the real estate industry have basically been determined. At that time, land acquisition will mainly be through land auctions..."

They were busy chatting, and Su Yhao buried himself in eating.

The chef they hired from somewhere had excellent skills. The grouper meat was hammered into a thin layer of dumpling skin, making fish skin dumplings that were fresh and tender.

There was also smoked goose liver. The taste of lion head goose liver was no less inferior to French foie gras. It was first braised using Chinese methods, and finally smoked over charcoal, giving the goose liver a unique aroma.

The most classic was the roast suckling pig. The skin of the piglet was roasted until golden and crispy, and a waiter helped cut it into slices. It could also be eaten wrapped in dough, dipped in sauce, like Peking duck in Sijiucheng.

Su Yhao never mistreated himself when it came to eating, which explained why his weight continued to rise.

The topic suddenly shifted to him.

Master Jiang asked, "Young Master, you really trust me. You invested more than ten million with me, and you don't even ask about it usually. What big business are you busy with? Have you earned another hundred million?"

"It's still investing in American internet companies, Yahoo and Amazon. Just invest in either one, and then wait. I asked my dad to invest, but he wouldn't listen to me, otherwise the family's assets would have doubled. It's more profitable than opening a printing factory, and there's still a lot of room for future development."

The cake was too big, and Su Yhao couldn't swallow it all. Their relationship was what it was, so it didn't matter if he revealed some news.

The fact was that even if Su Yhao revealed it, others might not believe him, such as Su's father, who was still developing in the real economy and hadn't bought a single share of Yahoo stock.

Master Jiang was envious, but he also couldn't make up his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Forget it, my money has already been invested in a tourism company, and I can't spare any money for now. By the way, I heard from a colleague that Sihai International is going to invest in the domestic appliance market. Has it been negotiated?"

"Yes, we're financing 2 billion RMB, and the plan has been submitted to the higher-ups for approval. I estimate there will be a response within a week."

As soon as Su's father finished speaking, he added, "This kind of financing is legal and compliant, and it's also a large sum of money, so it's basically a sure thing."

"How much equity?" Su Yhao asked immediately.

From winter vacation until now, he had met his father only a handful of times, and he had almost forgotten about the Mide Group's financing.

"Forty-three percent. We both stepped back a bit. At that time, we will also package an underperforming paint factory into it. I guess they want to use my funds to buy technology from outside and enter the overseas market. At that time, I had a water pump factory and a paint factory to choose from, but paint is more suitable for our company."

They ate and chatted.

In the blink of an eye, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Yu's parents accompanied the second concubine and Su's father to play mahjong. Su Yhao took Jiang Yu and went out to sea on a yacht to fish.

As for how many fish he had to catch to earn back the fuel costs, he didn't consider that question at all...
