Chapter 198 Planning the March into the East District
"Oh, you're too kind! This is wonderful. But Haifeng, quickly bring the stuff over so I can try it and see how it tastes."
"Okay, Grandma, I'll make it for you."
Wen Haifeng answered.
"Grandma, this place is really nice. I like it very much. I'm planning to buy a piece of land here."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Speaking of our place, everyone looks down on it. They say they'd rather have a small bed in the West District than a big room in our East District. You, young man, have a sweet tongue, praising our place as a wonderful spot. You really know how to make this old woman happy!"
Grandma couldn't stop smiling.
Just then, Wen Haifeng was squatting on the ground preparing to take out the sausage for his grandmother when he suddenly heard Zhao Yuan say that he wanted to buy land here. He was taken aback and stopped what he was doing.
"Mr. Zhao, are you sure you really want to buy land here?"
Wen Haifeng looked astonished and asked incredulously.
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and answered firmly:
"Yes, I am indeed interested in buying land here, but I am not sure if I will be able to do so."
At this moment, Wen Haifeng quickly took out a packet of instant noodles and a sausage from his backpack. He skillfully tore open the instant noodle packaging, gently placed the sausage inside, and then carefully poured boiling water into the bowl. He then stood quietly to the side, patiently waiting for the instant noodles to slowly rehydrate.
"Leave this matter to me! I'll go and inquire first. The land should still exist in theory, but I need to find out in detail what procedures are required. Also, it's hard to say whether outsiders are eligible to buy it."
As Wen Haifeng spoke, he secretly pondered to himself.
For some reason, a seed of doubt had been planted in his heart at this moment.
After all, in the eyes of most people, Dongcheng District is hardly a blessed place. Most of the long-time residents with some means have already moved away to the more prosperous Xicheng District.
However, what is puzzling is that Mr. Zhao went against the grain and chose to buy land in this unpopular place. There must be some reasons behind this that are not known to the public.
After waving goodbye to his grandmother, Wen Haifeng led Zhao Yuan and Zhou Jiefang on a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the entire Dongcheng District.
They traversed the streets and alleys, leaving no corner unexplored, trying to gain a thorough understanding of every detail of the area.
Zhao Yuan stood quietly on the high ground of Dongcheng District, gazing into the distance. His gaze crossed the wide river and landed on Xicheng District on the opposite bank.
Although the two districts are separated only by a river, their development is worlds apart.
It is precisely this huge difference that has allowed Zhaoyuan to see unlimited opportunities and possibilities.
He turned to Mr. Wen beside him and said:
"Mr. Wen, this piece of land is perfect for me! Ideally, we could buy the whole plot; but if that's not possible, even just a part of it would be great."
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan pointed to the opposite bank of the river, specifically to the vast land where he was standing.
Wen Haifeng nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked:
"No problem, I'll handle this as soon as possible. But, Mr. Zhao, now that you've bought such a large piece of land, what are your plans for its use?"
Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and answered confidently:
“Let’s buy it first, and as much as we can, the better! As you know, I not only own Zhao’s Food Factory, but also a real estate development company, and my ‘Zhao’s Kitchen’ brand is quite large. All these businesses can take root and thrive here!”
Hearing this, Wen Haifeng nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously:
"Okay, I understand, Mr. Zhao. But you have a real estate development company, while we are an architectural decoration company. What are the differences between the two?"
"Real estate development companies primarily focus on building brand-new houses and selling these meticulously crafted residences to people with housing needs. Construction teams, on the other hand, simply build houses according to the requirements of the homeowners. This way, not everyone has to personally participate in the tedious task of building a house; you can easily own a warm and cozy home simply by visiting a real estate company and choosing your ideal residence!"
Zhao Yuan patiently and meticulously explained to everyone.
Upon hearing this, Wen Haifeng couldn't help but beam with joy:
"Haha, if that's the case, then wouldn't my company have a great opportunity to cooperate with your company, Mr. Zhao?"
His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he could already see the infinite possibilities that the cooperation between the two sides would bring.
Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded in response:
"That's without a doubt! Let's set aside some time tomorrow to discuss this matter in detail. President Zhou is here in Shanghai with a heavy responsibility. He's responsible for coordinating the cooperation between our two companies and preparing for the opening of the second and third branches of 'Zhao's Kitchen.' We hope that President Wen will be generous in offering his guidance and support during President Zhou's stay in Shanghai!"
Hearing this, Wen Haifeng couldn't stop smiling:
"Haha, Mr. Zhao, you're too kind! It's nothing at all. I'll do my best to help in any way I can! I'll just wait for good news and look forward to getting on your good side soon!"
The atmosphere immediately became cheerful, and everyone chatted happily, full of confidence and anticipation for future cooperation.
"Mr. Zhao! We're gathering at 'Zhao's Kitchen' again tonight! This time, I absolutely have to treat you! I originally came here to properly thank you and Mr. Zhou for saving my sister's life! Who would have thought that not only would you let me eat and drink for free, but you'd also take quite a few things with you when you left? How could I possibly accept that! So tonight, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhou, please don't try to take it from me anymore. If you two insist on doing so, then you're really looking down on me!"
Wen Haifeng said with a sincere expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan quickly waved his hand:
"Oh, Mr. Wen, since you've put it this way, I won't argue with you about this dinner!"
At this point, Wen Haifeng continued:
