Chapter 1493

"Wang Sheng, how do you think the development here is going?"

The patriarch of the Peng clan, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, walked slowly through the canned herbal tea factory.

Other family spokespersons were also present, their faces full of eager smiles.

As for the younger generation like Peng Yunliang, they were all following behind.

This was truly earning money, and it was watching them earn big money; the old guys couldn't hold back either, and couldn't help but show more closeness to Wang Yan, showing their importance, and maintaining such a ruthless person whose brain was full of get-rich-quick businesses.

Wang Yan walked with his hands behind his back, taking care of the old guys' speed, strolling along unhurriedly.

"Of course it's good. You gave me a million, which means you earned five million; how could so much money not be good?"

He turned and asked, "You didn't leave money for expansion and construction, but distributed all the dividends, right?"

"How could that be, Wang Sheng? It's not that we didn't distribute dividends; we distributed a portion to you first. We used the remaining money for expansion; we are currently marching into Southeast Asia, so how can we do it without enough bullets?"

"You have heart." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "What's the situation now?"

Old Peng turned his head and gave a look; naturally, there were young and capable people who came out to introduce the current status of the herbal tea business to Wang Yan.

The herbal tea business in Hong Kong and Macau was really quite good; even with the appearance of canned herbal tea that could be iced, it didn't have much impact on the sales of hot tea bags.

People who drank hot tea were used to it, and would drink it when they wanted to. The newly launched herbal tea had a fresh taste and was icy and delicious; except for elderly people, those with gastrointestinal diseases, etc., most people liked it very much, so the sales of canned goods were also guaranteed.

Especially since the New Territories had also made an official explanation: herbal tea has effects, but it is not as therapeutic as hot tea. Let people have a count in their own hearts; for example, those who need to solve problems quickly like colds, physical weakness, etc., drink hot tea, and drink herbal tea for daily heat relief and appetite stimulation. If you drink too much herbal tea and get a stomachache, then drink hot tea to cure it. Once hot tea cures it, you want to drink herbal tea again to satisfy your craving...

Combining the two, it could be considered a complete monopoly of the herbal tea market in Hong Kong and Macau. And it wasn't just the herbal tea market; because of the sales of canned herbal tea, it also affected the beverage business in Hong Kong.

And it wasn't just an impact, because these people in the New Territories were doing it subjectively and intentionally; they were going to snatch the beverage business. The canning factory not only produced herbal tea but also produced other soda drinks according to some formulas proposed by Wang Yan, using the mature herbal tea sales network to lay out goods in Hong Kong and Macau.

As for those whose soda business was affected, that didn't matter; let them go to hell. These people in the New Territories weren't pushovers either; black or white, it didn't matter, it just depended on who died first.

As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. Nowadays, these people listened to Wang Yan's instructions and earned money, and had already started planning projects near the factory, taking a little bit from the profits to start building residential buildings and widening roads, which had already started construction.

They found over a thousand more people to start work here; those who smuggled over from the mainland were all kept by them to engage in construction. Not only that, some mainland stowaways who were hanging around in Hong Kong and Kowloon, as well as other Southeast Asian stowaways, also came here to find work.

Of course, they couldn't find work, because now all the employment quotas were reserved for locals. Being able to absorb some newly arrived mainland stowaways was a display of their conscience.

You can't say that stowaways are guilty; after all, they risked the risk of drowning, being beaten to death, etc., and came to Hong Kong with great difficulty, just to seek wealth. What's wrong with wanting to live a better life? As long as they don't commit crimes and don't persecute their compatriots, it's tolerable.

This behavior doesn't say how many points it adds, but it doesn't subtract points either...

However, it had already shown a certain popularity, and it had a feeling of being vigorous; how could they let this liveliness stop? So the New Territories side increased their actions and launched more projects.

They planned more residential buildings, as well as schools, clinics, shopping malls, etc., and also set up various snack stalls near the construction site to sell food and drink.

The more lively it was, the more people there were; the more people there were, the more lively it was. These people in the New Territories were a bit greedy, but they were indeed bold, and had already started to go into debt and add leverage.

So much so that the herbal tea factory didn't have such huge profits yet, and a lot of money had already been spent.

This, of course, was an idea given by Wang Yan; the New Territories Great Development plan was filed with the Xinhua News Agency and was a major project that the mainland paid attention to and even supported; otherwise, where would so many building materials come from? They all had to be transported from the mainland.

A considerable part of the debt raised was the unpaid money for these materials, and the rest was money owed to several major banks in Hong Kong.

When Wang Yan wrote to these people in the New Territories, he said it very clearly. What if the New Territories Great Development failed? The mainland's scale didn't care about the profit or loss of some building materials; as for the money owed to the banks, just owe it and don't pay it back; what could they do? Did they dare to liquidate the New Territories' assets to pay off the debt?

Are the people of the New Territories pushovers? If they earn money, everyone enjoys the dividends together. If they lose money, everyone naturally has to bear the risks together. Although in reality, the leaders of these families earn more, the people of the New Territories indeed enjoy the dividends of family development and various protections, so of course, they have to fight to the death for it.

These people suspected that Wang Yan had this idea from the beginning, and didn't intend to let them use the income from herbal tea to engage in construction, but to use herbal tea to get loans.

Wang Yan, of course, didn't admit it. Facing Liang Lao's suspicious gaze, he said: "Liang Lao, I'm just making a suggestion; who could have thought that so many people would come here to find work as soon as construction started? Since it has reached this point, we certainly can't let people leave."

"What if the New Territories Great Development fails?"

"You are testing me." Wang Yan said, "It's fundamentally impossible to fail. How big is Hong Kong? Millions of people live and work here, and our mainland keeps smuggling people over here, plus births; how crowded must it be? The terrain of the New Territories is indeed not very good, but there is a lot of land that can be developed; as long as it can absorb the population, it is absolutely a stable business that won't lose money.

With people, there are other industries such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation; people work and consume in a cycle, and the future of the New Territories is still very bright; it might even be better than Hong Kong and Kowloon."

"So confident?" Liang Lao laughed, "Those family spokespersons don't have enough confidence, yet they listen to you and follow you to toss and turn."

"That's because I can really toss out a good situation; you might not know, but recently many people have been contacting the Heung Yee Kuk, asking if the land in the New Territories is for sale, and if so, how much it costs. What does this mean? The momentum of the New Territories has been built up, and capitalists have smelled the fishy smell and gathered like dogs to get rich.

There will be no shortage of messy things in the future; for example, capitalists will incite villagers to make a scene, wanting to sell their houses and land to exchange for money with capitalists..."

Wang Yan rambled on about some possible situations, "But it is precisely because of this that it proves the future of the New Territories Great Development; people gather because of profit. The more messy things there are, the greater the profit. As long as those old guys who speak for the families aren't really senile, the New Territories won't be bad in the future."

Liang Lao shook his head: "You kid, whatever you say is in a tone of certainty, as if it has already been done."

"Be confident in life for two hundred years, Liang Lao. You have to believe to be able to do it. Our revolutionary cause is also like this; when we were engaged in revolution back then, who dared to think about today's appearance? Didn't we persist by gritting our teeth? Who knew if it could be done? Just believe it can be done, and do it."

After talking with Liang Lao for a while, Wang Yan left, took the driver arranged for him, and took a look around the New Territories.

Engaging in development in Hong Kong is actually much more convenient and faster than in Lin County.

Because there are not so many rules here, and various materials needed can be guaranteed. Coupled with flexible financial means, it exploded with powerful vitality in a short period of time; it was no less lively than Lin County, and it was truly a case of all things competing to develop.

This stroll of Wang Yan could be considered finding problems; where there were shortcomings, where improvements were needed, what needed to be added, etc., he was properly doing the work of a think tank. After all, he didn't put in effort; he mainly sold wisdom.

Actually, there were many people paying attention to the New Territories Great Development, all waiting to see what achievements could be made here, all with different thoughts.

It seems that what people in the country are paying attention to is Wang Yan's ability to engage in development. What outsiders are paying attention to is what the New Territories can become under the support of the mainland.

The New Territories Great Development has different meanings for inside and outside, for people in different positions and identities.

Of course, no matter what, it is always impossible to bypass Wang Yan, the leader...

After strolling around the construction site in the New Territories for a few days, Wang Yan went to the territory of those societies.

The dozens of buses knocked over last year had already arrived and started operations in the county. The previous small vans didn't matter, as they didn't use much oil, but this time they got so many large buses and had to engage in long-distance passenger transport, so the oil needed was a lot; of course, these hooligans had to do good deeds to the end.

It was just that they smuggled oil across the sea to make up for a portion of the quota, and Lin County asked for oil from the city, all of which was coordinated.

In general, everyone's cooperation was very pleasant.

But this time when Wang Yan came again, it was unpleasant.

He swaggered through the streets with the Peng family's children, and no longer did the leaders of various streets come out to meet him; the little hooligans all followed behind him, separated by a long distance.

He didn't have to pay when eating or buying things; the hooligans behind would naturally come over to settle the bill. And on the road he was traveling, any little hooligans who suddenly appeared with a ruffian air were kicked aside by the hooligans following him.

They were just afraid that some blind person would bump into Wang Yan and give Wang Yan an excuse to act, and then blackmail the major societies again, which was really too disgusting. So after thinking about it, they didn't provoke him, didn't contact him, helped settle the bill when he consumed, and politely sent him away.

You don't hit a smiling face; Wang Yan couldn't do anything too excessive.

It was indeed like this; they didn't look for trouble, so Wang Yan had no opportunity to act, and could only eat, drink, and take pictures in Hong Kong in boredom. After wandering for more than ten days without any gains, he left Hong Kong with great regret and returned to the mainland, arriving in Guangzhou.

It was already the Canton Fair of a new year again; this time Wang Yan didn't manage anything, just let others in the furniture factory make their own arrangements. What products to bring, how to arrange, how to promote, he no longer intervened...

Because of the good results last year, this year's Canton Fair naturally had a better location and larger space.

Strolling to the exhibition hall, he saw people inside busily adjusting the layout. Li Kuiyong was smoking, standing in the corner, trying his best to hide his existence.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Wang Yan: "Oh, Brother Yan, you're finally here."

"Factory Manager!"

"Factory Manager, come take a look, how should we arrange it?"

"I said I wouldn't manage it, so I won't. Our factory's business is good, orders can still be done for two years, and last year's foreign trade customers have all added orders, so there's not that much pressure. If you can earn money, naturally the more the better; if you can't, it doesn't matter. The main thing is to accumulate experience. I'm such a busy person; I can't do everything myself, right? Then I'd be exhausted."

Wang Yan waved his hand, "Alright, you guys get busy; just pretend I don't exist."

While speaking, he walked to Li Kuiyong's side, sat on the sofa in the corner with him, crossed his legs, and smoked.

With Li Kuiyong and Tian Fang's ability, the two naturally didn't have the ability to transfer back to the capital, and didn't dare to hide at home, so they had to honestly come back.

Facing Wang Yan's inquiry, Li Kuiyong said: "Xiaofang didn't come this time; there are so many people who want to come, and you're not here, so how could I have the nerve to snatch someone else's quota? Besides, there's nothing interesting here; just come and take a look at the liveliness."

"Brother Yong is still the sensible one." Wang Yan laughed, "But it doesn't matter if you bring her; one more or one less doesn't matter."

"That's not good; it's like we're doing something. People won't talk about you, they'll talk about us two..."

Li Kuiyong waved his hand, didn't dwell on this topic, and turned to say, "Brother Yan, are you thinking about leaving?"

"Sooner or later I have to leave; I didn't think about staying for a lifetime. Sooner or later I have to let go, so it's better to do it early, let the comrades exercise, and avoid being in a rush when I leave in the future, unable to carry out work."

"Your consciousness is still high." Li Kuiyong complimented, "Did you bring anything back from your trip to Hong Kong?"

"What are you saying? Am I a bandit?"

Li Kuiyong opened his eyes wide, full of questions; no... aren't you?

Wang Yan seemed to exhale a puff of smoke with great sorrow: "This bunch of grandsons have become smart; they don't get close to me at all, don't talk to me. Some little hooligans who looked like they could cause trouble hadn't even reached me before they were beaten and scolded away by them. They didn't give me any chance at all, really..."

"They are indeed scared." Li Kuiyong was also speechless, not knowing what to say. To make hooligans avoid him, just say what kind of lethality this is...

He sighed and said, "Brother Yan, Qin Ling is gone."

"Where did she go?"

"Don't know; she didn't tell anyone, just left quietly. Really didn't see it; she has this ability. Zhong Yuemin is crazy with anxiety, writing letters every day to inquire about Qin Ling's news."

Li Kuiyong shook his head repeatedly, "To say this Qin Ling is really ruthless; it's not like they're broken up for life, but she just cut it off directly; really decisive."

"She's just clear about what she wants."

Wang Yan said with a smile, watching the people in the exhibition hall busily arranging, and recorded it with his camera again...
