Chapter 581: The Temptation of Land

Boss, can you find time to make another trip to Goat City?

What's the matter?

Chu Ning has several parcels of land, the price is very low, very suitable for building cold storage and logistics warehouses. But she insists that you show up in person before she's willing to negotiate.

Alright, then I'll come over.

Chen Yang originally planned to fly back to Xingcheng from Deep City, but after receiving a call from Ouyang Sheng, he had to temporarily change his itinerary.

In Goat City, where every inch of land is extremely valuable, the temptation of land is truly huge.

Moreover, for Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading to establish a foothold in Goat City, setting up just an e-commerce base in White Cloud District is far from enough.

In order to prevent that crazy woman Chu Ning from coming up with some new trick, Chen Yang had Xiao Jian drive him to Goat City.

While on the road, he also called Luosen, asking him to meet at Fragrance-Retaining Pavilion. He said that if they could secure the land, the subsequent construction work would be handed over to Luosen's company.

Luosen was expanding his company's scale and was eager to take on more projects. He immediately assured Chen Yang that during the negotiations he would help persuade Chu Ning to sell the land.

However, when Chen Yang arrived at Fragrance-Retaining Pavilion, Chu Ning's gaze toward him was not very friendly.

Chen Yang, the big chairman, calls the wind and summons the rain in the stock market, making hundreds of millions a day, yet he's looking for help to haggle over a tiny piece of land—how shameless!

Chen Yang then understood why she was angry; it turned out Luosen had already done some ideological work in advance. He smiled and said: "Chu Ning, you can't put it that way. In business, bargaining is normal. If you just name a price, I'll buy it. Then you'll turn around and call me a spendthrift."

Chu Ning said solemnly: "As long as you don't counteroffer, I guarantee I won't scold you!"

Chen Yang pretended not to hear and directly changed the subject: "Where is the land you have?"

Chu Ning said: "I currently have five parcels of land: one in White Cloud District, two each in Panyu and Nansha District, each about ten thousand square meters. These lands belong to others, and the asking price is thirty million each. Considering you helped me once, the agency fee can be waived."

Chen Yang felt a bit disappointed upon hearing that the land wasn't in the urban area. However, if it's just for building logistics warehouses and cold storage, it's sufficient.

Twenty-five million each, I'll take them all!

Chu Ning gave Chen Yang a blatant eye roll and said angrily: "Chen Yang, do you really think this is buying vegetables at a market? These locations are all good; I gave you the bottom price because I consider you a friend. Don't push your luck!"

Twenty-nine million nine hundred ninety thousand! Chen Yang, although he no longer had a concept of money, felt uncomfortable not bargaining at all in a deal.

Okay! Chu Ning, although she didn't understand Chen Yang's behavior, still accepted the offer.

Since this land purchase was made under the name of Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company, Chen Yang also called Tan Qin and Qian Duo Duo to Goat City to handle the related matters.

To thank Chen Yang for his help in the stock market, Chu Ning specially arranged a lavish meal.

Chu Ning opened a bottle of Moutai, poured three glasses directly, and then said to Chen Yang: "For any past neglect, I hereby punish myself with three glasses here to apologize to you!"

Chen Yang was about to stop her, but Chu Ning had already lifted her glass and drained it in one go. After the three glasses went down, her pretty face began to flush.

Chu Ning, let the past be the past. I hope we can cooperate happily in Goat City from now on! Chen Yang's alcohol tolerance is limited, but he still stood up and returned three glasses.

Director Chen, I also toast you three glasses! Luosen, seeing this, also joined the toasting ranks.

Director Luo, let's just skip it; if I drink more I'll have to lie down to go home. Chen Yang didn't want to embarrass himself, so he immediately refused Luosen's kindness.

Director Chen, you can skip drinking, but I must toast! Luosen unhesitatingly drank three glasses of Moutai.

Chen Yang sighed; it looks like today he'll have to lie down to return to the hotel.

He was about to stand up to return the toast when Ouyang Sheng beside him quickly stood up.

Director Luo, our boss has limited alcohol tolerance; let me handle his drinks. You drink three glasses, I'll return six, how about that?

Ouyang younger brother, just drink three glasses then! Luosen merely wanted to thank Chen Yang and didn't really care about the drinking etiquette.

After Ouyang Sheng finished his three glasses, Chen Yang said to Chu Ning and Luosen: "Ouyang Sheng is our company's person in charge in Goat City; he's new here and lacks connections, so please look after him going forward."

Luosen, hearing that, smiled and said: "Ouyang younger brother's personality suits my taste; if you have any difficulties, just speak up."

Ouyang Sheng immediately stood up to express thanks, and at the same time raised a glass to toast Luosen and Chu Ning.

Chu Ning also returned a toast to Ouyang Sheng with a glass of wine. Her first impression of Ouyang Sheng was better than that of Chen Yang. Because in the investigation report she received, Ouyang Sheng is a devoted, good man.

However, after interacting a few times, she again felt Chen Yang was somewhat better. Because Ouyang Sheng talks too much, like Tang Sanzang from Journey to the West.

Chen Yang, your investments in Goat City already amount to several hundred million, and you'll probably need to invest even more later? Leaving it all to this kid to manage—aren't you afraid he'll squander it all? Chu Ning questioned Chen Yang's personnel choice. After all, Ouyang Sheng is too young and only has a high school education.

Her words also made Ouyang Sheng, who had just finished his toast, feel extremely embarrassed.

Chen Yang, seeing this, smiled and said: "When employing people, do not suspect them; when you suspect them, do not employ them. Ouyang Sheng has already proven his ability in Dongjiangsheng; I believe he can achieve even better results in Goat City."

Ouyang Sheng, hearing this, gratefully said to Chen Yang: "Thank you, boss; I will certainly not disappoint your and Manager Shen's trust!"

Chen Yang waved his hand. In public settings, he doesn't really care about such formalities. As long as Ouyang Sheng does his job well, that's the best reward for him.

After the meal was finished, Chen Yang prepared to take his leave.

On May Day, Lin Wei will take the kids to Xingcheng for a vacation. Chen Chunmei has already made several calls urging him to return to Xingcheng to see the children.

Of course, Chen Yang also understands. Chen Chunmei's true intention is still to matchmake him and Lin Wei to reconcile. After all, her feelings for Lin Wei are deeper than her one-time encounter with Liu Qingqing.

However, just as Chen Yang's group stepped out of Fragrance-Retaining Pavilion, Chu Ning chased after them again, now holding a bank card in her hand.

Chen Yang, I don't like owing favors. This card contains twenty million, which is considered the handling fee for your help in the stock market.

Chu Ning, the handling fee was just a joke I made; you don't need to take it seriously. Chen Yang did not accept Chu Ning's bank card, but pointed at Ouyang Sheng and said to her: "I only hope you'll look out for him for my sake."

Seeing Chen Yang refuse the money, Chu Ning also stopped being polite. Anyway, for Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading to develop and grow in Goat City, they will inevitably need her help in the future; they can repay the favor then.

Chen Yang, rest assured, as long as he doesn't do anything illegal, nobody in Goat City will give him trouble.
