Zhang Liunian took it, sat down, and smiled at the other person. "Although I've been through several chases, I've luckily survived them all."
"Was it sent by the Gu family again?" Father Sun's expression was not surprised. After all, he knew Gu Lou's petty nature. Now that he knew Zhang Liunian was here again, how could he let him go?
"There's no one else but them," Zhang Liunian said, drinking his tea with a bitter smile.
"Alas, if the Gu family fell, your troubles would be solved. It's a pity that the Gu family is truly resilient. They've managed to survive a few critical moments.
For that alone, I have to admire that old fellow Gu Lou for being able to handle things so well."
Father Sun couldn't help but regret thinking about how the Gu family had overcome the crisis again.
Zhang Liunian heard that Father Sun's words had a hidden meaning and asked, "Several times? Is there something else besides the construction site issue?"
Could it be about the Gu family and the Hong Kong businessmen? Father Sun's next words did confirm his thoughts.
"Isn't it about colluding with Hong Kong businessmen to harm their compatriots?
After your reminder last year, we found the records of him and the Hong Kong businessmen staying at the Pengcheng Hotel, proving that he had met with them.
But on the day of the confrontation, he insisted that the meeting was a threat, and members of the Hong Kong Business Association even came forward to speak, stating that Gu Lou was a pawn they wanted to use, but failed.
Because of their appearance, the situation instantly reversed.
Don't you think he's capable, to be able to get the Hong Kong businessmen to help him like this? I really don't know where he gets such great influence."
Speaking of last year's events, Father Sun was full of anger.
The Gu family were native Chinese businessmen. The Hong Kong businessmen had only been here for less than two years. Why could he get them to support him like this?
In any case, he didn't believe that Gu Lou had no connection with the Hong Kong businessmen, he just didn't have concrete evidence.
Zhang Liunian suddenly understood. So that was what happened, and that's why the Gu family had avoided several crises.
If one didn't know, they would think the Gu family was a blessed clan, otherwise, how could they turn danger into safety every time?
"I heard that the Gu family was able to resolve their troubles this time with the help of a mysterious person. I guess it's still those Hong Kong businessmen." Zhang Liunian said, suddenly remembering seeing Gu Lou meeting a middle-aged man yesterday. He wondered who that person was.
However, it was after meeting that person that Gu Lou said he had resolved all the troubles.
Could it be that the middle-aged man in the disguised attire was the mysterious person who provided help to the Gu family?
"I estimate it can only be the Hong Kong businessmen, because only they have such capabilities. But why do those Hong Kong businessmen value that old fellow Gu Lou so much? It's really puzzling to me." Father Sun agreed with Zhang Liunian's thoughts.
"Perhaps he still has some value to those Hong Kong businessmen."
Merchants value profit, this is a truth that every merchant understands. Gu Lou could always get the support of Hong Kong businessmen, and it must be because of his value. Otherwise, no one would help someone who is not profitable.
However, he was somewhat puzzled as to why Pengcheng would be in opposition to Hong Kong businessmen. He clearly remembered that when he came in his previous life, Hong Kong businessmen and domestic businessmen were not too opposed. Why did he discover such a situation by coming earlier?
Moreover, he himself did not reject Hong Kong businessmen. As long as they could cooperate, there was no need to draw such clear lines.
"What you said makes sense. I just don't know what the Hong Kong Business Association wants him to do this time." Father Sun was secretly vigilant, afraid of being tricked by Gu Lou.
Zhang Liunian carefully recalled the news he had heard about Pengcheng in his previous life. Suddenly, he remembered an event that happened in Pengcheng in his later life. It seemed that a private bank suddenly disappeared out of thin air, taking away one-third of Pengcheng's money at that time.
And this money was basically the savings of wealthy people in Pengcheng. They only deposited their money because of the high interest rates. They did not expect that the bank would disappear out of thin air in just a few years, and the people responsible could not be found.
The incident caused a great stir at the time. Many people committed suicide, and many went insane, including those who worked hard to earn money.
In any case, anyone who deposited money in that bank returned to their original state overnight. Years of savings turned into nothing.
The most fatal thing was that the person in charge of the bank could not be found, nor could the money that had flown away.
In the end, the matter became an unsolved mystery and was never solved.
Could this matter be related to these Hong Kong businessmen and Gu Lou?
Whether it was or not, he had to be careful.
"It's definitely not anything good. We should be careful of the Gu family's involvement in the future and not easily believe things that cannot be believed," Zhang Liunian said, intending to remind Father Sun.
Father Sun was not stupid either. He quickly understood Zhang Liunian's meaning and nodded solemnly, "Indeed, we need to be careful. Just like the rumors about Fude Village's land this time, I didn't make any move. I don't believe any of those baseless rumors."
"..."
Zhang Liunian was speechless. He thought that this was something you could believe, because the policy from above was about to come down, and then Fude Village's land would increase by thousands of times, and the surrounding areas would also appreciate.
However, he had enough. The ten thousand mu of mountain land in Hongde Village were all his, which was enough to increase his net worth from tens of millions to hundreds of billions, and reach the top ten of the national rich list.
Thinking of this, his blood began to boil, as if he was about to become famous nationwide.
"I heard that many people are buying land in Fude Village. What do you think is the reason for this? Is someone deliberately speculating on land?" Father Sun, while saying not to believe rumors, felt uncomfortable seeing everyone else buying.
This discomfort was due to the fear that something big was really going to happen in Fude Village, and the fear of falling behind and missing the opportunity, so he was conflicted.
Zhang Liunian heard his self-contradiction and said, "You might be able to believe the matter of Fude Village, if they are willing to sell."
Hearing this, Father Sun's spirits lifted. Did this mean that Fude Village was really going to do something? His voice rose, "You mean, there's really a big move there?"
Zhang Liunian shook his head. "I can't be sure about that. I just think that for people like us who have money, even if we buy a piece of useless land and keep it, it's nothing. If there is indeed a project designated there, we won't lose money.
This is like placing a bet. It depends on whether you are willing to spend some pocket money to bet on it."
Zhang Liunian naturally wouldn't say that Fude Village was going to build a new train station. He could only say that people like them, who were not short of hundreds of thousands, could bet on it. Even if nothing happened, it would not be a big deal to them.
"I'm willing, why wouldn't I be? Although our Sun family is not as good as the Gu family, we can still earn millions a year. Spending a few hundred thousand on peace of mind, what's wrong with that? I'll place this bet." After hearing this, Father Sun slapped his thigh and said that there was no mistake. Why should he hesitate for hundreds of thousands? It was better to spend money to buy peace of mind.
