The news that the Bufan Group had returned to Lu Fan's control sent ripples through the entire village. Just as everyone thought Lu Fan would lead them to a comeback, he made a decision that stunned them all again.
Lu Fan threw everything out of the entire building. Then he hired a renovation team to convert the office building into large-sized residential units. Selling houses? What was the meaning of this?
"Xiao Fan! What are you trying to do?" Wang Yan asked, also confused.
"You can't build without destroying. Only by removing the Bufan Group from everyone's minds will the villagers learn to strive for themselves," Lu Fan said calmly.
"You don't want to use spiritual energy to change the situation anymore?" Wang Yan asked.
"In the mortal world, it's better to rely on mortal effort," Lu Fan said calmly.
Honk honk... Suddenly, a van drove over. It stopped, and Jia Renyi and his son Jia Hong stumbled out of the car. Jia Renyi had bandages around his head and looked miserable.
"Uncle Jia! What happened to you?" Lu Fan asked, suppressing a smile.
"Xiao Fan! We were beaten!" Jia Hong said with a wronged expression.
"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, who dares to be so bold as to beat people?" Lu Fan shouted indignantly.
With his shout, many villagers around looked over, and some curious onlookers came closer.
"Jia Renyi, didn't you go to the city to sell vegetables? How did you end up like this?" someone immediately asked.
"Alas! Don't mention it. We went to the city to sell vegetables, and after a while, we met a big client who wanted to buy our entire truckload of vegetables. We thought it was a good thing and drove over to deliver them. When we arrived, they turned hostile. They only gave us half the money. We refused and tried to take the vegetables back, but then they started hitting us! My dad was hit on the head with a wooden stick... sob..." Jia Hong cried as he spoke.
"Damn it! So arrogant? Didn't you call the police?" Lu Fan asked from the side.
"We did call the police, but they said it was a civil dispute and could be resolved through negotiation! Then they gave us two hundred yuan for medical expenses and sent us back," Jia Hong said, wiping his tears.
"Hey! Jia Renyi, then give me the money for the vegetables you took from my house!" someone suddenly stepped forward and said. It was Wang Xuehai, a vegetable farmer from the village.
"Wang Xuehai! I've been beaten, can't you have a little sympathy? Are you asking me for vegetable money at a time like this?" Jia Renyi said unhappily, yelling with his neck stretched out.
"You said you'd pay me back after selling the vegetables you took from my house. Now that you've sold them, who else should I ask for money? Whether you got beaten or not is none of my business, it wasn't me who hit you," Wang Xuehai immediately said.
"No money! Your vegetables were robbed! I didn't get any money either, so how can I give it to you?" Jia Renyi said, shaking his head.
"No money is not acceptable! If you have no money, I'll take your car!" Wang Xuehai was not to be trifled with and went to open Jia Renyi's car.
Suddenly, the two of them started to scuffle on the street.
Lu Fan grinned and turned away.
"Xiao Fan! Aren't you going to do something?" Wang Yan said from the side.
"It's a thankless task. How can I manage it? Let them resolve it themselves!" Ye Shisan turned and left, too lazy to watch such a spectacle.
Wang Yan also looked helpless; this dispute was indeed difficult to resolve.
Ring ring... The phone rang. Lu Fan answered, "Yajie, how is it?"
"Xiao Fan ge, the place is rented, and the procedures are done! I've also hired a few staff members. We can start selling vegetables tomorrow," Wang Yajie's excited voice came from the phone.
"Good! Tomorrow I'll collect vegetables and meat at home and send them to you," Lu Fan said immediately.
Lu Fan's decision to collect vegetables caused the entire village to erupt! Although the prices were very low, they paid immediately. This made the villagers eager to sell their vegetables. Selling meant money; not selling meant they would rot.
That evening, Lu Fan collected two truckloads of vegetables and meat. The next morning, Lu Fan drove his sports car, following the vegetable trucks into the city.
The place Wang Yajie rented was quite large, a courtyard of over two thousand square meters, with several warehouses.
With a deafening burst of firecrackers, the fruit and vegetable wholesale store officially opened.
However, it was awkward that after the firecrackers, there seemed to be no customers. By noon, not a single deal had been made.
"Xiao Fan ge! Won't this all be lost?" Wang Yajie said, looking at Lu Fan, who was leisurely sitting in the car playing with his phone, a little worried.
"Soon, business will be here!" Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"Where?" Wang Yajie immediately looked outside the courtyard. Sure enough, three tall and strong men swaggered in.
"Who's the boss?" one of the big men shouted.
Wang Yajie shivered. This guy didn't look like he was here to buy vegetables, but rather to rob them.
"Are you blind? Can't you see these two living people?" Lu Fan said, looking at the other person with disdain.
"Holy crap... You're quite something, huh? Driving a sports car makes you feel superior, right?" The big man walked towards Lu Fan.
"You can't afford to offend me anyway!" Lu Fan said, looking at the guy dismissively.
"You can't afford to offend me? Why don't you ask around, I..." The guy's temper flared up, but he was stopped by someone next to him.
"Hey, brother, we're here to buy vegetables, not to fight. How about I buy all your vegetables here, and you can deliver them for me?" the person said hurriedly.
"Pay the money first, and I'll deliver it," Lu Fan said without looking up.
"Xiao Fan ge!" Wang Yajie was already tempted. If all the vegetables could be sold, wouldn't it be a great opening?
"Pay immediately when the goods arrive. With our grand ambitions, can we be short of this petty money?" the previous guy said again in a deep voice.
"If you're not short of money, then pay up immediately. Stop talking nonsense here. If you're not buying vegetables, then get lost!" Lu Fan said, his face darkening.
"Bastards! Get him!" The three people next to him were furious and charged directly at Lu Fan.
Crack crack crack... Suddenly, a wooden sword flew out and rained blows upon the charging three men.
One person took a hit to the face, leaving a bloody red mark.
Another was hit on the neck, and his neck burned painfully, making him afraid to touch it.
The last guy took a hit to the head, splitting his hair into a middle part, with the hair in the middle sticking up a full inch.
"Was it you guys who robbed a truckload of vegetables yesterday?" Lu Fan asked coldly.
