Chapter 82: Guojun Heavy Industry

"Uncle Lu! Miss Lu!"

Chen Jiajun stood where he was, smiling at the two of them with a humble demeanor.

Lu Hantao looked Chen Jiajun over, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "I've heard of you many times; you truly are a man of talent."

"Uncle Lu, you flatter me. We're just doing some small-time business."

Uncle Lu shook his head and said, "Young man, there's no need to be so modest. I heard from A Long that you want to build a factory in Tuen Mun?"

"Yes." Chen Jiajun followed his footsteps.

As he walked, Uncle Lu asked, "What kind of factory are you building? Our New Territories have beautiful mountains and clear waters. If it's heavy industry or chemical pollution, we country folk certainly won't agree to it. When the time comes, it would be very difficult for me to answer to the fellow villagers."

"Uncle, you can rest assured on that point," Chen Jiajun replied immediately.

In Tuen Mun, Konglong, who was part of the Ching Yee Sik, was nothing in front of Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu's prestige in the New Territories was extremely high; all it took was one word from him.

Hundreds of thousands of young, able-bodied villagers and local toughs across the New Territories were willing to follow his instructions and were ready to shed blood for Uncle at any moment.

This was Uncle's power!

"That's fine then."

Lu Hantao nodded and pointed to the large plot of land in front of them: "Build your factory here at Tuen Mun Butterfly Bay; the land has already been compacted."

If one were to ask where the most valuable land in all of Tuen Mun was, it was right here at Butterfly Bay.

In the future, Hong Kong would plan a port here. Once the proposal passed, the price of land in Butterfly Bay would skyrocket!

More importantly, the value of a port built at the Butterfly Bay Pier could not be measured in money. Building research labs and factories would require massive amounts of materials in the future, and the Butterfly Bay port could greatly reduce Chen Jiajun's logistics costs.

"How about it? Don't look down on this place for being remote; it's very close to Tuen Mun Highway. If you hadn't given me your word, I wouldn't even want to sell it to you."

Seeing that Chen Jiajun didn't speak, Lu Hantao said with a smile.

Chen Jiajun shook his head immediately: "Do you mean this plot of land is under your name?"

Lu Hantao said dominantly: "I'll give you a discount, 40,000 per acre. How much do you want?"

"The factory I'm building requires quite a lot of land. I'll take as much as you have," Chen Jiajun stated immediately, his heart burning with excitement.

Lu Hantao held up his index finger and said, "Good, I think highly of you. Hahaha, besides, I was very satisfied with the money you paid your respects with yesterday."

He thought Chen Jiajun was taking the opportunity to bribe him again to get on his good side.

Chen Jiajun shook his head, unable to laugh or cry: "You've misunderstood. I really do want to buy more land here. I'll build one factory first, and once conditions are ripe, I'll move the garment factory from Kowloon over as well."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hantao nodded without thinking too much about it. He reached out and called his daughter over: "Yongyu."

"Dad." Lu Yongyu walked behind Lu Hantao.

Lu Hantao asked, "How much land do we have in total at Butterfly Bay?"

"This plot of land is 1,000 acres in total, 1.08 million square feet," Lu Yongyu replied immediately.

Lu Hantao pointed at Chen Jiajun and said, "Sell him whatever he wants. You are responsible for coordinating with A Jun."

Chen Jiajun immediately stated, "I want all one thousand acres."

Lu Hantao was grinning from ear to ear; after all, he had only spent a few tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to acquire these thousand acres, and now it had increased a thousandfold!

He pointed at Chen Jiajun and said, "Remember to provide more job opportunities for the villagers of Tuen Mun and get on good terms with them. Alright, I have things to do and must leave first. If you have any issues, coordinate with my daughter."

"Dad, since Mr. Chen is buying it all, shouldn't we give him a discount? I'm afraid Mr. Chen's funds might not be sufficient, and he might have a hard time building the factory later."

Lu Yongyu looked at her father as if possessed.

"As expected of my, Lu Hantao's, daughter!" Lu Hantao marveled at his daughter's meticulous thinking.

For Lu Hantao, he had already earned enough money. His next thought was to provide more job opportunities for the villagers of the New Territories; there were still too few jobs in Tuen Mun, and the nearest place, the Kowloon Peninsula, was still over half an hour's drive away.

As long as there were enough jobs and the people of the New Territories had more money, the value of his land would naturally rise along with it!

Little did he know that Lu Yongyu had developed a favorable impression of Chen Jiajun.

Lu Hantao opened the car door, nodded, and said, "Discuss the price with A Jun. It doesn't matter if the money is paid in installments; just let A Jun get the factory built first!"

That afternoon, at Huang Dawen Law Firm.

After signing the contract, Chen Jiajun stood up and reached out to Lu Yongyu: "Miss Lu, I specially prepared some foreign liquor for Uncle. Take it back for Uncle to taste later. Also, this Piaget watch is for you, to thank you for speaking up for me just now."

The price he had negotiated with Lu Yongyu was 30,000 per acre, paid in full at once. If Lu Yongyu hadn't spoken up, he, Chen Jiajun, would have had to pay 10 million more.

"My dad said, don't be too polite, Mr. Chen. Just get the factory built first."

Lu Yongyu looked at the man in front of her, somewhat intoxicated. He had started from scratch and was already worth tens of millions at such a young age. In her view, he was far superior to those wealthy heirs.

"Miss Lu, no need for formalities. Also, don't call me Mr. Chen in the future; call me A Jun."

"My friends all call me A Yu."

The next day, early in the morning.

Tuen Mun Butterfly Bay.

Chen Jiajun, in high spirits, brought Dumu and Ao En here.

Chen Songqing of the Jianing Group was still continuing to put pressure on Chen Jiajun's businesses, but Chen Jiajun didn't care at all. The harder the police cracked down, the more it only proved that his businesses were clean.

Chen Jiajun named this research institute 【Guojun Heavy Industry】. With the assistance of the Huang Dawen Law Firm, the factory had already been approved.

He called for Ya Qi and, at the exorbitant price of half his current stock of Universe Coin, obtained a Capsule from the Dragon Ball world from him.

Inside this capsule was a large, fully equipped research institute, complete with a factory.

As soon as it was opened, it would automatically adapt to the plot of land.

However, in the real world, it was impossible for a fully built research institute and factory to just pop up with a "bang."

Therefore, the system automatically rationalized this operation, just as it had automatically generated legal identification for Dumu and the others.

Countless heavy trucks drove onto Tuen Mun Highway. Hundreds of massive excavators were driven down by workers arranged by the system. They acted quickly to level the land and dig up the small mounds on the ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

From nowhere, heavy soil-compacting machinery appeared, frantically pounding the ground to level the earth once more.

Immediately following, heavy-duty trucks arrived, transporting pre-prepared concrete slabs.

The workers moved swiftly, laying a layer of cement on the ground.

One by one, the concrete stone slabs were pried up and moved over by an Excavator, then pressed onto the cement.

In the blink of an eye, concrete pillars and other frameworks were being erected at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Right after, countless heavy-duty trucks transported in high-tech precision instruments.

The entire Butterfly Bay was a scene of bustling activity, with thousands of workers arranged by the system performing their respective duties.

By the afternoon, Lu Hantao brought the villagers over to check on the progress, grinning from ear to ear; judging by the scale of investment in this project, the capital put into this factory would not be small.

Once the factory was built, would the villagers still lack high-paying jobs?

From this day forward, the young and able-bodied of Tuen Mun would no longer need to go to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to find work.
