"Mom, how about this: I'll go discuss it with Erhai first, then call you back later. Don't worry, for such an important matter, my two brothers and I will definitely give you an answer."
Wang Dashan finally said this to his mother.
He himself also quite believed in feng shui and fortune; although he didn't understand feng shui very well, he still felt that vaguely there was an invisible hand controlling human fate—that was feng shui.
"Good, good, then you go discuss it with Erhai."
Li Xiulan hung up the phone and couldn't help but sigh.
"All three children have become promising, yet they're all too busy to spare any time; for such an important matter at home, they all find it hard to come back."
Wang Zhanggen put on a stern face:
"Look at Yao Hua—my eldest brother told him to come back, and he asked for leave and came back without saying a word. If outsiders found out that none of our three sons can come back, people would laugh themselves to death at us!"
A bitter smile appeared on Li Xiulan's old face, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Wang Zhanggen continued to nag:
"What good does it do even if they're promising? They don't care about home at all! They don't ask about family matters. If we two have some health problems in the future, who knows if they'll keep making excuses like now and refuse to come back! If that really happens, then we really raised those three brothers for nothing!"
Wang Zhanggen said this very sharply, making Li Xiulan's heart tremble involuntarily.
"It won't be like that. My three sons aren't like that. Last time you had a cerebral hemorrhage, my three sons certainly didn't spare any money or effort."
But she couldn't help but sigh:
"The children have grown up and have their own opinions. Indeed, they've gradually grown distant. If they each start their own families in the future and have their own small households, they'll have even less time to come back."
For a moment, Li Xiulan didn't even know whether she should hope her children become promising or hope they live mediocre lives?
If the children become promising, they'll definitely be very busy and have little time to come back and visit us two old people. If the children are mediocre, although they can't bring glory to the family, at least they can always stay by our side—if anything comes up, just say a word and they can come back immediately.
Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face and said coldly:
"If they each start their own families in the future and don't care about us anymore, watch me not take a machete and go settle accounts with them!"
Wang Zhanggen spoke harsh words, but if he really had to do that, he estimated he couldn't bring himself to do it.
It was just that this time, regarding the grave relocation, Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan kept making excuses and were unwilling to come back, which really made him very angry.
At this moment, on the other side, Wang Dashan dialed Wang Erhai's phone number.
"Second brother, tomorrow the family is relocating the grave. You know about this, right?"
"Mom just called and told me. I was just thinking of calling you to discuss it, but I didn't expect you to call me. Eldest brother, can you go back to our hometown tomorrow? Tomorrow Uncle Chunsheng is holding a celebration banquet. Chuncheng Garden sold out during this National Day holiday. Uncle Chunsheng's celebration banquet will have many big figures from the county town's political and business circles attending. That's a good opportunity for our Shanhai Real Estate to make connections. I don't want to miss this opportunity."
Wang Erhai had just picked up Wang Dashan's call when he began explaining earnestly and kindly.
He definitely hoped Wang Dashan could go back in his place.
Shanhai Real Estate returning to the county town to develop had just fired its first shot. It absolutely couldn't be hindered by that small matter of relocating the grave back home.
"Uncle Chunsheng really is something—why would he set the celebration banquet at noon?" Wang Dashan smiled bitterly. "Second brother, I understand your difficulties. How about this: I'll coordinate my time later, and I'll go back tomorrow noon."
Hearing this, Wang Erhai was immediately full of gratitude:
"Eldest brother, you really are my good eldest brother! Thank you so much this time!"
Wang Dashan said with a smile:
"Why are you being polite with me? Just work hard. My two brothers will partner up to make Shanhai Real Estate bigger and stronger!"
Wang Erhai said at this time:
"By the way, Eldest brother, there's something I must tell you."
"What is it?"
"On our county branch company's side, Liu Mei Qi has taken a thirty percent stake. Liu Mei Qi is someone of Manager Zhang of Huangsheng Group. You know Huangsheng Group—they're the local business tyrant in the county town. We can't afford to offend them. But don't worry. When she took the stake, I redesigned the equity structure. She only holds shares and has no decision-making power."
It was only now that Wang Erhai told Wang Dashan about this matter.
Because he knew that if he had told Wang Dashan when Liu Mei Qi first wanted to take a stake, Wang Dashan would very likely have chosen to confront her head-on.
His eldest brother was a born stubborn fool, not like him, who knew how to be flexible.
Additionally, the county branch company's philosophy of sincere management was now just an empty shell. In reality, they had adopted Liu Mei Qi's set of sales strategies. Wang Erhai had never dared to tell Wang Dashan about this.
Because he knew that if Wang Dashan found out about this, Wang Dashan would definitely be very angry.
After learning that Liu Mei Qi had taken thirty percent of the shares at the branch company, Wang Dashan was somewhat unhappy in his heart, but regarding this already settled fact, he couldn't say much.
He could also understand Wang Erhai's decision. After all, Shanhai Real Estate had only settled in the county town not long ago. Even with Niu Chunsheng looking after them, they absolutely could not be a match for Huangsheng Group.
If giving up some shares could exchange for living space, then it wasn't unacceptable.
"Second brother, your decision is very good. This actually isn't a bad thing. From now on, our company can be considered a company with Huangsheng's background. Doing things in the county town will be much more convenient."
Hearing Wang Dashan say this, Wang Erhai let out a huge sigh of relief.
He had still been afraid Wang Dashan would be angry at him for making a private decision.
Unexpectedly, not only did his eldest brother not get angry, he even praised his decision as good.
Wang Dashan continued:
"Tomorrow at that celebration banquet, you need to perform well and bring in more resources. As for the second-hand housing market in Guangzhou, we've already reached the top there. Without resources and background, it's very hard to go further. Whether Shanhai Real Estate can become bigger and stronger in the future depends greatly on your business over there!"
Wang Erhai hurriedly said:
"Eldest brother, don't worry. Tomorrow I will definitely perform well!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dashan immediately called Du Xiaojuan.
"Xiao Juan, I want to ask you to do something for me."
"What is it?"
At this time Du Xiaojuan was at work.
Now there was less than a month until Double Eleven, and her Xiao Du Technology was in the busiest stage of the year.
These past few days she had been so busy she was nearly smoking from hands and feet, often working overtime until eleven or twelve at night before getting off duty.
"Tomorrow noon I have to go home once; the grave relocation regulations require a male family member to be present, and I have a client who wants me to show a super luxury mansion, the time is also around tomorrow noon, do you have time to help me show it?"
Wang Dashan thought, having Du Xiaojuan replace him to return to his hometown to attend the grave relocation ceremony was definitely impossible; although he didn't understand feng shui very well, he did know some regulations, grave relocations generally wouldn't let women participate, let alone a woman who hadn't married into the family yet.
But having Du Xiaojuan help go show the client was still okay.
