"Mr. Gao, please repeat what you said this morning in front of Mr. Lu."
"Is it true that, aside from your Huihuang, there isn't another real estate company in Magic City that can build my factory?"
Fan Yu spoke calmly.
Gao Ye's breath caught. "Mr. Fan, I truly didn't know it was you. If I'd known, I wouldn't have dared say those things."
"One month. I can definitely do it. Please rest assured, Mr. Fan."
Fan Yu shook his head. "I've changed my mind. It must be completed within a month, but the construction payment may be reduced."
"Then how much are you prepared to pay, Mr. Fan?" Gao Ye asked cautiously.
"Not a cent."
"Furthermore, I'll require Huihuang to complete it within one month. If you fail, you'll compensate me for my losses."
"My Aoshu Company has daily revenue of over a million. Ten times that amount in compensation should do."
"M-Mr. Fan, how is that possible? Without construction funds, the workers won't be paid, and they won't work."
Gao Ye looked grim as he forced a bitter smile.
"Heh."
Fan Yu turned his gaze toward Lu Zhendong.
"Chairman Lu, it seems your company's vice president can't manage it. I wonder what you think?"
Lu Zhendong said in a deep voice, "Mr. Fan, I guarantee it will be completed within a month. As for the construction payment, consider it Huihuang's sincerity for our first collaboration with you."
"Mm, not bad. Chairman Lu, you certainly know how to do business."
"Alright, I have other matters to attend to. You may leave. As for the project, the sooner, the better. I've written the location into the contract. Starting earlier means finishing earlier as well."
Lu Zhendong and Gao Ye left Garden in Garden.
Lu Zhendong looked at Gao Ye with a dark expression. "You've really done well for yourself. It seems you truly aren't suited to be vice president. Go explain yourself to the board when we get back. Figure out the construction payment for Mr. Fan's project yourself."
"When I get home, I'll speak to your sister. Go back to being a little foreman."
Gao Ye was Lu Zhendong's brother-in-law. Since Lu Zhendong worked in construction, Gao Ye had risen alongside him. With his sister's connections, Gao Ye had amassed a fortune of over a hundred million over the years, and he had become rather inflated.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"
Watching Lu Zhendong's car drive away, Gao Ye grew anxious. If he had to pay the entire hundred million himself, he would be utterly ruined. All his years of effort would have been wasted.
As for running away, he could only think about it. Causing the company to lose over a hundred million was a life-threatening matter.
A company capable of building its real estate market value to over ten billion was not so simple.
As he drove away, Lu Zhendong's face remained dark. Because of Gao Ye, he had not only offended Fan Yu but had nearly plunged Huihuang into irreversible disaster. How could he possibly be in a good mood?
The group did not belong to him alone. There were several other directors, and he needed to return and hold a meeting with them to discuss this matter.
As for the money they had to pay, naturally, Gao Ye would foot the bill himself.
"Alright, go get busy too."
After Lu Zhendong and Gao Ye left, Fan Yu spoke to Liu Jian.
Liu Jian bowed slightly. "Then I'll get back to work, Boss. Just give the word if you need anything."
Today, he had truly witnessed Fan Yu's power. A hundred-million-yuan project had saved a hundred million with just a few words. Who else could do something like that?
Besides, with a hundred million at stake, who could willingly swallow such a loss?
Fan Yu called Zhang Qian and told her that the construction matter had been resolved. He asked her to oversee the quality and ensure Huihuang used the best materials for everything, without worrying about the cost.
Zhang Qian could not help asking curiously, "How was the Huihuang matter resolved?"
Fan Yu smiled faintly. "They said that, for their first collaboration with us, they would build the factory for free."
After hanging up, Zhang Qian was astonished. Fan Yu's influence was simply too great. Huihuang Group had quite a reputation in Magic City's real estate industry, yet they were actually willing to pay out of pocket to build Fan Yu's factory?
Everything was ready except the east wind. Once the factory was completed, production could begin quickly. Aoshu would then have its own supply source and no longer be constrained by others.
"Let's go take a look at the house at Tomson Riviera."
Fan Yu was quite curious about Tomson Riviera.
It was said to be the most expensive property in Magic City. He wanted to see just what made it so extraordinary.
Tomson Riviera was not far from Financial Street, and it faced the Huangpu River's waterfront views. Its location was exceptionally advantageous, one of the best in Magic City.
He drove to Tomson Riviera, took out his access card, and entered directly.
The system's provisions were comprehensive: parking space, access card, everything included.
Under the security guards' envious and respectful gazes, he entered Tomson Riviera.
Tomson Riviera consisted of four residential towers and one high-end clubhouse, much like on Earth.
It was said that Tomson Riviera covered twenty thousand square meters, with a total floor area of two hundred thousand square meters.
The tallest building had fifty floors. From the top floor, one could clearly see Financial Street's scenery as well as the Huangpu River's waterfront views.
However, the building heights differed somewhat from those on Earth.
He drove into the underground garage, where countless luxury cars came into view. Some were even covered in a thick layer of dust, likely unused by their owners for a long time.
Following the information provided by the system, he found his parking space.
Yet a Rolls-Royce was unexpectedly parked there.
Fan Yu did not think much of it. Before he had checked in for the house, it had been ownerless. Perhaps someone had visitors at home and nowhere else to park, so they had left it there.
After getting out and looking around, he found no contact number left by the owner.
He called the property management office and asked them to come over and see if they could reach the owner.
Before long, three security guards arrived with a property manager.
"Sir, what seems to be the problem?"
Fan Yu pointed at the Rolls-Royce in the parking space. "Contact this car's owner and tell him to come down and move it."
"My car has nowhere to park."
"Of course, sir. I'll contact him right away."
Fan Yu waited for the property manager to contact the owner. He was not particularly angry. According to the information provided by the system, his house at Tomson Riviera had never been sold. After all, with a price of nearly three hundred million, ordinary people simply could not afford it.
But now that it belonged to him, whoever was occupying his parking space should move.
However, after the property manager finished the call, his expression became somewhat unsightly.
Fan Yu asked doubtfully, "What is it?"
"No one answered."
Fan Yu nodded. "Then keep calling."
The property manager also found it difficult to handle. After all, this had happened because of their property management's oversight.
He immediately called again, fulfilling his duty.
But the second call showed that the phone had been switched off.
Fan Yu smiled faintly. "Fine, then let's do this. I'll buy another parking space. Handle the paperwork for me, then park my car. Lock his car up, and when the owner contacts you, have him call me."
