Chapter 3023: Base Concept

It just so happened that Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan were both in the living room, so Ye Chen said to them, "Dad, Mom, Churan sent a video, I'll answer it here."

The two hurriedly agreed, and then stopped being hostile to each other, so Ye Chen pressed the answer without hesitation.

After the video connection was successful, Xiao Churan's delicate and soft face appeared on the mobile phone screen.

Seeing Ye Chen, Xiao Churan said pleasantly, "Husband, you're home!"

Ye Chen nodded, "I just came back today. Let me show you Dad and Mom."

As he spoke, he moved his mobile phone to film Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan.

Xiao Changkun asked with concern, "When are you coming back, daughter? Dad misses you!"

Ma Lan hurriedly said, "Good daughter, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Mom misses you too, but you finally have a chance to cooperate with the Fei family in the United States. This is such a good opportunity, you must put your career first. If it really doesn't work, Mom will go to the United States to take care of you!"

Xiao Churan said with a smile, "Mom, I sent a video to Ye Chen just to talk about this. Didn't I just finish the morning meeting with Miss Fei and the others? The project in the United States has some legal problems and needs to be suspended for a period of time. The specific time hasn't been set yet, so I plan to go back to Jin Ling first."

Ma Lan heard this and was a little disappointed, saying, "Such a big Fei family, can't handle a little legal problem?"

Xiao Churan laughed, "Whether they can handle it or not, it depends on whether the lawyer intervenes and goes through judicial channels."

Ma Lan said, "My meaning is, don't they have the ability to solve the problem directly in one step?"

Xiao Churan could only explain, "Even if you have money, you have to follow the law. Since it is a legal problem, it must be solved in the legal field."

"Forget it, forget it." Ma Lan said with some disappointment, "I originally said I would go to the United States to accompany you in a few days, but since you are coming back, just come back."

As she spoke, Ma Lan added, "By the way, daughter, they won't use this as a reason to delay your salary, right? Mom tells you, this kind of thing must not be tolerated. It is their problem that caused the project to be suspended, and the money that should be given to you cannot be less!"

Xiao Churan said helplessly, "Mom... why do you talk about money every time you open your mouth..."

Ma Lan said seriously, "In a realistic society, what do you talk about if you don't talk about money? Do you talk about feelings?"

Seeing Ma Lan so disappointing, Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Wife, when are you coming back? Have you set the time?"

Xiao Churan said, "I want to seal the information and progress of the project here today, and solve the remaining problems. If there are no other problems, I will hurry back. If I can't finish it tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Ye Chen asked her, "Did you check the flight? Is there a suitable flight the day after tomorrow?"

Xiao Churan said, "Miss Fei said she would arrange for the Fei family's private plane to send me back, but I'm a bit embarrassed. A private plane flight costs over a million, how can I let others spend money."

Ma Lan hurriedly grabbed the words, "Daughter, then you take a regular flight back, and let her give you the money for the private plane directly! Cash it out for one million!"

Ye Chen hurriedly said, "The Fei family has plenty of planes. They have to be maintained even if they don't fly. The actual cost of flying one more trip is not that high. In addition, there is no direct flight from New York to Jin Ling, and you have to transfer in the middle, which is too tossing. Wife, let Miss Fei arrange a private plane to send you back. It's better."

Xiao Churan said with some embarrassment, "But that's so embarrassing..."

Ye Chen said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, this is Miss Fei's proposal itself. I will call to thank her later."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "You have been in the United States for so long, and Dad, Mom, and I miss you very much. After you finish your work, hurry back. Miss Fei arranges a plane to send you back. You can go to the airport after you finish your work, and you will be home after sleeping on the plane. Otherwise, you have to wait for the flight time to take off, and you don't know when you will be delayed by transferring in the middle."

Seeing that Ye Chen said so, Xiao Churan nodded gently, stuck out her tongue, and whispered, "Actually, I want to go back early, but I just feel embarrassed to let others spend money."

Ye Chen laughed, "Then I will earn money to buy a private plane in the future, and you won't be embarrassed."

Xiao Churan thought it was a joke and said casually, "That's good, but I don't want you to be too tired."

As she spoke, a professional woman came to Xiao Churan's office and said politely, "Ms. Xiao, our next meeting is about to start. Do you want to postpone it?"

Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "No, I'll be there right away."

After speaking, she said to Ye Chen, "Husband, I won't talk to you first. There is a meeting immediately to touch on the follow-up ending problems. I'll talk to you later."

"Good." Ye Chen smiled slightly, "You go ahead, talk when you're done."

After hanging up the video, Ma Lan couldn't help but mutter, "Hey, you say, Churan works for that Miss Fei, how much money does that Miss Fei give her? Their Fei family seems to be very powerful. Giving a thousand or eight million shouldn't be too much, right?"

Xiao Changkun rolled his eyes at her and asked back, "Do you think the money of rich people is blown by the wind? Working for rich people is nothing more than a market price. Does the cleaner who sweeps the floor for Apple earn a million dollars a year?"

Ma Lan scolded disdainfully, "Xiao Changkun, Xiao Changkun, you really have yours. Do you have such a comparison of your own daughter with a cleaner? In your eyes, our Churan is at the same level as Apple's cleaner?"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that! I mean, even if you work for Apple, you just get what you should get. Although Churan does well in her field, it's already very good to have an income of several million a year. How long has it been since she went to the United States, and you want people to give Churan a thousand or eight million? Isn't that bullshit?"

Ma Lan said disdainfully, "Look at you, you don't understand human feelings. That Miss Fei has asked good son-in-law for help with feng shui many times. Just for the sake of good son-in-law's face, she won't give less."

Ye Chen heard the two arguing whenever they saw something, and also had a headache. Just at this time, the WeChat on his mobile phone received a message from Fei Kexin, which read: "Mr. Ye, is it convenient for you to answer the phone?"

Ye Chen said to Ma Lan and Xiao Changkun, "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to the room."

After speaking, he got up and went upstairs.

Back in the bedroom, Ye Chen made a voice call to Fei Kexin. After the call was connected, Fei Kexin said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, sorry to disturb you so late."

Ye Chen said, "Miss Fei is polite. Churan just sent me a video. You have started to close the project there, right?"

"Yes." Fei Kexin said, "In order not to let your wife suspect, I arranged all the normal processes. After the closing is completed, your wife can go back."

As she spoke, Fei Kexin added, "The construction site now claims to the outside world that there are some legal disputes, but I have also released the news that I am trying to seek an out-of-court settlement, trying not to go to court as much as possible. So the speed of solving this matter can be fast or slow, it all depends on what you need here. If you don't need your wife to come to the United States anymore, this project can also be shelved. If you need your wife to come back next month, I can directly announce that I have reached a settlement with the other party and can resume construction."

Ye Chen sighed at Fei Kexin's intelligence and agility, so he said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Fei, for arranging it so thoroughly and with room for advance and retreat."

Fei Kexin hurriedly said, "You are polite, Mr. Ye, this is what Kexin should do."

Ye Chen remembered the planning of Shuiyun Villa, so he asked her, "Miss Fei, I have one more thing I want to ask for your help."

Fei Kexin said without hesitation, "Mr. Ye, just say it. Whether it is within Kexin's ability or not, Kexin will try her best."

Ye Chen laughed, "It's not a big deal. I want to buy your villa in Shuiyun Villa. That place has a good geographical location and is very close to Champs Elysees. I plan to take down the entire villa area and make some other plans."

Fei Kexin smiled slightly, "No problem, Mr. Ye. To tell you the truth, the reason why I bought the villa in Shuiyun Villa was also to find an opportunity to get close to you. It has fully played the role it should play. You can take it and use it whenever you need it. I will ask the staff in China to transfer the property information to you."

Ye Chen didn't be polite to Fei Kexin, so he said, "Then I will thank Miss Fei."

Fei Kexin said, "Mr. Ye is too polite. Being able to serve you is Kexin's honor."

Reaching a consensus with Fei Kexin, Ye Chen called Wang Dongxue again.

Wang Dongxue hadn't received Ye Chen's call for a long time, so she said with uncontrollable excitement, "Chairman, do you have anything for me?"

Ye Chen said, "Dongxue, do you know the situation of Shuiyun Villa? I want to take it all down, but I can't take it in a big way, so the price can't be too outrageous to avoid being noticed by people with hearts. Do you think there is any difficulty?"

"Shuiyun Villa..." Wang Dongxue pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman, Shuiyun Villa should be a villa area with a certain age. After I took over the Dihao Group, I looked at the previous information of the Dihao Group. That piece of land was originally competed by the Dihao Group. Later, because the surrounding facilities were really lacking, it was abandoned. It is in the suburbs and mountains. It hasn't been developed there all these years, and the housing price hasn't risen. It shouldn't be difficult to take it down."

Ye Chen was happy and said, "Dongxue, then you arrange some capable business personnel to first figure out the owner information of Shuiyun Villa, analyze the current occupancy rate of Shuiyun Villa, and analyze the age level and employment situation of the resident owners. After mastering all the information, go to contact the villa owners of Shuiyun Villa one-on-one in private. You can use the identity of the Dihao Group and different people to buy the villas of Shuiyun Villa one by one. There can be an upward space in the price, but you must grasp the strength well. The practitioners in the real estate industry have a very sensitive sense of smell. If they know that someone is acquiring Shuiyun Villa at a high price that does not meet the market conditions, it will definitely bring unnecessary trouble. So I hope that under the premise of ensuring that it is not noticed, you will take down the entire Shuiyun Villa as quickly as possible."

Wang Dongxue said immediately, "Okay, Chairman, I will arrange this matter, and I will report to you as soon as there is any progress!"

Taking down Shuiyun Villa to secretly build a base is the only way Ye Chen can think of at the moment.

Jin Ling is an inland city, and the population density is very high. It is almost a fantasy to find a place that is completely undisturbed, so he can only think of ways to cross the sea secretly.

In fact, Ye Chen also thought about whether to buy a private island for comprehensive transformation, but in China, the feasibility of buying an island and completely transforming it freely is not high.

If you want to buy an island with permanent property rights, then if you take the regular route, you can basically only choose the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean. These places are too far from China, and small islands cannot build large airports, so it is very difficult to take off and land medium and long-range passenger planes. Going to farther places requires transferring to nearby big cities first, which is not flexible enough. So in Ye Chen's view, there is no practical significance yet.

Although the Maldives and many small island countries will also sell their islands in disguise, their sales have a lot of prerequisites. The first one is business attributes. The island can be sold to you for tens of thousands of dollars, but you must start construction within the specified time, and it cannot be built into a private manor. It must be built into a commercial hotel, and it must pass the government's acceptance.

In this way, taking an island requires at least an investment of tens of millions of dollars to build an island resort hotel, and it is impossible to secretly transform it into a secret base or fortress.

However, the idea of transforming Shuiyun Villa also gave Ye Chen a reminder. He felt that he could pay attention to the island market now. Once there is a suitable one, he can start early and move early.

After all, the time cost of transforming an island is very long. Even if there is more money, the infrastructure project must be done step by step. In most countries, including the United States, building a road may take ten or even twenty years, not to mention transforming an island.

Moreover, since it is a transformation, it must be secretly transformed. At the very least, it must be one set on the surface and another set inside. This requires an absolutely trustworthy construction team.

The first choice that came to Ye Chen's mind was the Wanlong Palace and the engineering soldiers under Hamid. If a suitable island is really chosen, the construction must be handed over to them to be at ease! ===== CHAPTER 3024 =====
