Chapter 398 Bought
Although Chen Yang's cooking skills were average, as the master of the Celestial Physician Hall, he possessed profound knowledge in medicine, so the soup he brewed was undoubtedly delicious and healthy.
Chen Yang prepared eight dishes and one soup, packed them into lunch boxes, and drove to the company to deliver food to his wife with a pleased hum.
Upon entering the office, Liu Xiaomei and Su Ya were both frowning, engaged in a heated discussion with Liu Ran.
Chen Yang walked in with the lunchboxes and said, "Hold on for a moment, come and taste my culinary skills."
As Chen Yang laid out the dishes, Su Ya sniffed the air and wiped the corner of her mouth, exclaiming, "Damn, it smells so good! You can actually cook!"
"When we lived together, Liu Ran and I always cooked. You've been hiding your skills! I've decided, from now on, the three of us will share the cooking duties."
Chen Yang pouted, "That won't do! You, who freeloads food, lodging, and everything else at our place without paying rent, a complete third wheel, actually have the nerve to ask me to cook? Believe it or not, I'll kick you out."
Su Ya, upon hearing this, became enraged and flailed her arms.
Liu Ran, standing beside them, smiled and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing and let's eat."
As the three women ate, they couldn't help but continue their discussion.
Liu Xiaomei began, "Based on the current feedback, the Chu Han property development is indeed facing a work stoppage due to a capital chain issue. And I can guarantee that the previous construction on the Chu Han property was done meticulously."
"I can personally vouch for this. I've secretly inquired with three contractors and five ordinary workers."
"They are very certain that the main structure of the Chu Han property was built entirely to specification. The materials used were also environmentally friendly and of high standards."
"If we take over this property development, at least there won't be any hidden pitfalls in terms of the building itself. We just need to top it off to get the pre-sale permit, and then we can start selling it to the public."
Su Ya nodded and said, "The information I've gathered is quite similar to Liu Xiaomei's. The only thing we can't ascertain is why Fang Shihong suddenly halted the project."
"Some say it's a shortage of funds, others say there was a dispute among Fang Shihong's shareholders, and some even claim the property is haunted."
"In short, the explanations vary. What is certain is that if we invest one hundred billion to acquire the entire Chu Han Real Estate Company, and then proceed with topping off the building, excavating the underground defense facilities, and the sewage system, among other things, we should be able to sell it after these works are completed."
Liu Ran sipped her soup, contemplating thoughtfully. She gave a wry smile and said, "To be honest, the information the three of us have gathered is quite similar. It all points to the Chu Han property being a plum ripe for the picking, a true pie from the sky."
"However, common sense tells us that these businessmen are very shrewd. For a thirty percent profit, they would take risks; for a hundred percent profit, they would kill and burn. And now, we can invest one hundred billion and earn three hundred billion, a profit of two hundred billion in between. I believe many people in Qingzhou city, with their keen sense like vultures, must have already spotted this lucrative Chu Han property. The question is, why hasn't anyone invested?"
"One hundred billion is indeed a lot, but it's not an insurmountable sum for these shrewd capitalists. They could easily pool their resources together to gain two hundred billion in profit. I don't believe they are unaware of this."
Chen Yang sat by the side, observing his wife's conflicted expression, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
At least his wife was maintaining her composure in the face of such immense temptation, which was commendable.
Chen Yang said, "Oh, I don't think we need to overthink it. If the contract doesn't have any hidden traps, then we can just take it over and sell it."
"As long as we ensure that everything we do is legal, without loopholes, and we won't be cheated out of one hundred billion, then this business deal is worth pursuing."
"If there are any problems down the line, such as the property being haunted, difficult to sell, or located near a graveyard, etc., we'll deal with these issues as they arise. Isn't it worth taking a chance, right?"
Liu Ran looked at Chen Yang with doubt and asked, "Chen Yang, do you also think this business deal is worth investing in? To be honest, I'm a bit inclined to give up now. The profit is too great, which makes me hesitant."
Chen Yang chuckled, "Of course, I think it's worth investing. Don't forget, we're about to enter the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical research and development have always been a massive undertaking. Investing one hundred billion might depend on luck. If we can turn one hundred billion into three hundred billion this time, it will ensure the smooth implementation of our next plan."
Liu Ran chuckled and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, I think you're quite greedy. Money isn't that easy to make. However, what you're saying does have some merit. This is an opportunity, let's seize it for now."
"If it turns out to be a trap later and we lose one hundred billion, there's nothing we can do. Our company is currently operating profitably. Even if we lose one hundred billion, it would at most prevent our next plan from proceeding, but we won't go bankrupt. So, this project, shall we... take it?"
Liu Ran's voice was tinged with uncertainty as she looked at Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei.
Su Ya excitedly put down her chopsticks and nodded vigorously, "I agree to take it! Let's take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."
Liu Xiaomei across from them also laughed excitedly, her eyes shimmering with the glint of money. She said, "Alright, let's go for it. What if we can really make two hundred billion? Hehe..."
Following this, the three of them began discussing the contract.
Liu Xiaomei needed to ensure that the contract they signed had no loopholes whatsoever. After handing over one hundred billion, they needed to ensure they obtained complete ownership of the Chu Han property development.
After dinner, the three women went their separate ways.
At nine o'clock that evening, Liu Ran called Fang Shihong and expressed her agreement to invest one hundred billion for one hundred percent ownership.
Fang Shihong, hearing this from across the Chu Han Real Estate office, said, "Congratulations, Ms. Liu. You've definitely gotten a great deal. Then we'll sign the contract tonight. Once the money arrives, the contract will be completed, and we'll also go to the notary office to transfer the property project to you and have it notarized."
Liu Ran naturally agreed.
Soon, Liu Ran, Su Ya, Liu Xiaomei, and others completed the sale agreement with Fang Shihong at the notary office.
Chen Yang's "Yang Yang Yang" account initially only had over eight billion. However, in addition to this profit, the Yang Yang Yang company had some daily operating funds. Although these funds did not belong to the Yang Yang Yang company, Liu Ran could utilize them within three days.
After transferring one hundred billion, all of Yang Yang Yang company's profits were gone. Instead, they were in debt of nineteen billion.
The contract was signed, and Liu Ran took a deep breath. Looking at the acquired Chu Han property, her face held no joy, but rather a hint of solemnity.
Fang Shihong, seeing that the money had arrived, looked up at Liu Ran and said, "I apologize, Ms. Liu."
With that inexplicable remark, Fang Shihong turned and left the notary office.
