A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 100 Clearing up Doubts
Tang Jiapeng came to Gu Zhuxuan in frustration and said, "Boss, why did you agree to make peace with the six car dealerships?"

Gu Zhuxuan frowned and then asked, "Do I need your approval for my decision?"

Tang Jiapeng quickly said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the six car dealerships are almost unable to hold on. They will definitely come to us and beg for mercy soon. It's really not worthwhile to negotiate peace at this time!"

"Hmph," Gu Zhuxuan said, "Your vision is limited to this little piece of land, but I have much more to consider. The newspapers and media are reporting every day that we're bullying the weak, which is very detrimental to my lawsuit in the Commonwealth. It's better to end this matter sooner rather than later!"

Tang Jiapeng's mind raced, and he immediately asked, "Is Chen Guangliang here as a lobbyist?"

If the boss's attitude suddenly changes, there must be someone involved.

For Tang Jiapeng, his favorite thing is to deal with people. Now that his boss suddenly stopped, it can no longer satisfy his interest and hobby.

Gu Zhuxuan said: "It doesn't matter whether it's him or not, what matters is this is my decision!"

He doesn't like his subordinates to steal the limelight. Whether it's Chen Guangliang or Tang Jiapeng now, he likes to suppress them at the appropriate time.

Tang Jiapeng then said, "Of course I will carry out the boss's decision. But now that Chen Guangliang and the six car dealerships are involved, won't they become even bigger in the future? And who has benefited the most from your shooting?"

Gu Zhuxuan stood up suddenly and then said, "Impossible, impossible. I know Chen Guangliang. He despises that kind of behavior the most. Don't try to sow discord between us!"

Even when he was acquiring a piece of land, he acted like a gentleman. Gu Zhuxuan really couldn't imagine that Chen Guangliang had such thoughts.

Tang Jiapeng knew that this was like planting a thorn in his boss's side, so he immediately said, "I'm just saying that many people are suspects now, and the murderer is just trying to scare people. This means that the person behind this is either giving a warning or muddying the waters."

Gu Zhuxuan immediately said, "Okay, don't get involved in other things before you've even finished this one. Sun Yingjie said that the license plate market is booming now. You should expand your dealership instead of continuing to lose money."

Tang Jiapeng had not yet replaced Sun Yingjie, so he immediately said, "Okay, boss, don't worry. This year, Gu's Car Dealership will definitely increase the number of large notes."

"Well, I'm still very confident in your work. Let's schedule your wedding with Aizhen for the second half of the year!"

"thank you boss"

The most urgent task is to expand the car business, and if Tang Jiapeng's methods can be demonstrated, he will replace Sun Yingjie in the second half of the year.

Chen Guangliang came to the office building of Changjiang Real Estate, where everyone was busy with the final preparations for the opening.

"Is the leveling work finished?"

Lu Yuantai immediately replied, "It's done. Now there's no sign of the grave. It's all been cleaned up. The ditch has also been filled in, so it's no longer visible."

Lane 1136, Yuyuan Road, was originally a mass graveyard, so naturally, this situation could not exist when the property was first put on the market. Therefore, the first thing to do after renting the land was to push the graves away and fill the small ditch.

Chen Guangliang said, "I'll go check it out later. Make sure nothing goes wrong."

The sales office for this new sale is still located at Happy Home, but we'll be providing rickshaws to take you to Sunshine Home for a site visit. The main attraction is the location, but there's nothing else to see, as it's still vacant land.

Afterwards, Guo Deming handed a stack of documents to Chen Guangliang and said, "Boss, this is the final budget, advertising plan, and other information!"

Chen Guangliang nodded, then returned to his seat and began to read.

The entire "Sunshine Home" covers an area of ​​12.15 acres and has a total of 39 three-story brick and wood structure houses, including a house reserved for Chen Guangliang.

There are also 39 buildings for sale, with a total of 117 floors, and the total selling price is 48 oceans; Chen Guangliang's building is also included in this list, and the entire building is worth 1.25 oceans.

Chen Guangliang temporarily borrowed the 1.25 yuan from the funds of Changjiang Real Estate.

The ad copy is similar to the previous one: "Changjiang Real Estate Trust Department's second batch of villas under construction." Location: Lane 1136, Yuyuan Road (near Hongye Garden), excellent location, with bus routes 1 and 9 nearby. Building: Authentic Western-style construction, 14 feet wide and 50 feet deep, complete with garden, steel windows, sanitary ware, hot and cold water pipes. Cost: 3599 yuan per second-floor unit, with six rooms; 4099 yuan per third-floor unit, with eight rooms; 8 yuan per third-floor unit, with nine rooms. Features: Delivery guaranteed by Yinshi Bank during the construction period; principal repayment guaranteed by a reputable bank after 4699 years of residency; free running water.

In terms of budget, if the entire property is sold for 48 yuan, Changjiang Real Estate will then withdraw about 23 yuan in batches; for construction costs, Changjiang Real Estate reported 20 yuan to the bank, but in reality only less than 16 yuan is needed, which is equivalent to a little over 4 yuan in net profit this year.

"Okay, I'll discuss the plan with the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank first. The ad will run from May 5st to May 1th, so we'll have five days to prepare. Everyone, get your spirits up! This project must succeed, and failure is not an option!"

"Yes, boss"

Back to Changjiang Car Dealership.

Zhou Xinggao walked into Chen Guangliang's office and reported, "Boss, I feel like someone is investigating our whereabouts recently. It seems to be because of the shooting at Gu Zhuxuan's villa last time."

He had some doubts. After all, why would Gu Zhuxuan investigate them?

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "Just ignore the mad dog biting people randomly."

It wasn’t Zhou Xinggao and the security team who did it, so why should we care?
Zhou Xinggao nodded and said, "I'm not concerned about that, but I think Gu Zhuxuan has planted spies in our car dealership, most likely one of those Jiangbei drivers. So I think we should take this opportunity to remove these spies."

After thinking for a while, Chen Guangliang said, "Don't rush to pull it out. Find these people first, and then kick them out slowly later."

"Okay, I understand what you mean!"

Now that the nails were being pulled out, Gu Zhuxuan couldn't help but think too much.

After a while, you can find a random reason to kick him out and that will be the natural thing to do.

Instead of being a good person, you choose to be a dog for others. How much are your fellow villagers worth? Can they be more valuable than the shareholders of Changjiang Automobile Dealership?

After a while, Gu Zhuxuan's housekeeper came, and Chen Guangliang stood up to greet him.

"Butler Meng, why are you here?"

"I just happened to be free, so I came to deliver a letter. Is Mr. Chen free tomorrow night? My master wants to invite you over for a chat!"

Chen Guangliang said cheerfully, "I'm free now, I'll definitely be there."

"Okay, then I'll take a step forward and you stay!" Looking at the back of Butler Meng, Chen Guangliang seemed to be thinking about something.

Could it be that he was exposed?
It's unlikely. Even a detective couldn't have seen him clearly at that time. It was a dark night and he was wearing a mask.

Then the most likely possibility is that because of the six rickshaw dealerships selling him ninety rickshaws, Gu Zhuxuan felt that Chen Guangliang was reaping the benefits.

No matter what, Chen Guangliang was brave enough to keep the appointment.

The next evening.

Chen Guangliang, accompanied by his two bodyguards Zhou Xinggao and Lin Feng, drove towards Lane 203, Hubei Road.

When he reached the door, Chen Guangliang walked in alone.

"Mr. Gu"

"Guangliang, come and sit down. Let's have dinner together later."

Only Gu Zhuxuan, Butler Meng, and Chen Guangliang were sitting on the sofa. Gu Zhuxuan's family usually did not come downstairs when there were guests.

After a brief greeting, the servants brought the wine and food, and the three of them moved to the dining room.

"Here, have a drink"

"Mr. Gu, I can't drink much, so take it easy!"

"Haha," Gu Zhuxuan laughed, "You're already a powerful person. You can't drink too little. You need to practice more!"

He is from Jiangbei and can drink a lot.

In fact, Chen Guangliang's alcohol tolerance is also very abnormal, but he just doesn't show it. He usually pretends to only drink half a catty of white wine.

"It's necessary to exercise, to exercise"

After three rounds of drinks, Gu Zhuxuan suddenly clapped his hands, and Chen Guangliang pretended not to know what he meant.

But he found that the old butler took a wooden box from the servant and then placed it in front of Gu Zhuxuan.

"This is?"

Subsequently.

Gu Zhuxuan opened the box and found a Browning M1903 semi-automatic pistol inside.

"Guangliang, do you have this for self-defense? How about giving it to you?"

After saying that, Gu Zhuxuan deliberately loaded the bullet, with the muzzle of the gun pointed at Chen Guangliang for a while, as if testing him.

Chen Guangliang is not afraid of this at all. If he dies here today, Gu Zhuxuan will definitely go to jail and will also be hunted down by Zhou Xinggao and others. After all, Chen Guangliang is not a small figure.

Gu Zhuxuan naturally understood this.

"This jerk is nothing special. Our security team naturally has it. Otherwise, I would have been caught and extorted long ago!"

Gu Zhuxuan looked at Chen Guangliang's calm expression and knew that his test had failed. This young man had always been like this, which made him admire him very much.

But he also eliminated his doubts!
First, he had someone investigate Chen Guangliang's security team. Zhou Xinggao, who was most likely the lone gunman that day, lived in the dormitory.
Secondly, it is unlikely to be Chen Guangliang himself. I heard that the murderer is very accurate with a gun, and Chen Guangliang has only been doing this for a short time.
Finally, Chen Guangliang’s performance just now completely dispelled Gu Zhuxuan’s doubts.

"I've always said that Chen Guangliang, with such a big business, how could you not have some tricks up your sleeve? And now, taking advantage of our current conflict with the six major rickshaw companies, you've seized a large number of rickshaws from them, and you're telling me we're not negotiating peace."

The tests came one after another, and it seemed that someone was saying bad things about him in front of Gu Zhuxuan.

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare say that. Those six companies aren't good people. They wanted to alienate Mr. Gu and me, so they deliberately sold 90 cars to me. I wasn't paying attention, and I was blinded by the benefits. Besides, it wasn't a peace talk, at best they were begging for mercy."

It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, but you have to express your attitude.

There is no direct conflict of interest between the two, and Gu Zhuxuan is not a soft persimmon. As long as he is not stupid, he will not cause any more trouble.

As expected, Gu Zhuxuan also said at the right time: "That's right. Since we met, everyone knows that I admire you the most. You have done a lot for me. These people, just beg for mercy, but you still have so much pretense!"

Chen Guangliang echoed, "Indeed, they couldn't stand Mr. Gu's pressure and wanted to beg for mercy."

Gu Zhuxuan picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, drink, and don't talk about the past!"

After eating and drinking, Chen Guangliang left Gu's house.

Gu Zhuxuan said to himself: "It definitely wasn't him, he has no reason to do that!"

The old housekeeper also said: "Indeed, Mr. Gu values ​​him the most. How could he do such a thing? It's just Tang Jiapeng gossiping."

Gu Zhuxuan nodded and said, "It's good that it's not Guangliang. As for Tang Jiapeng, don't say too much. I'm in need of someone, and he's a good talent."

Gu's car dealership plans to expand significantly this year and will buy a large number of licenses from small car dealerships or private individuals, so someone as resourceful as Tang Jiapeng is the perfect fit.

Although Gu’s rickshaw company currently has 1100 rickshaws, in fact, only 600 are from Dazhaohui, and the rest are basically from Xiaozhaohui and Zhabei.

Influenced by Chen Guangliang, Gu Zhuxuan planned to expand the rickshaws of the Dazhaohui to have greater influence in the concession.
