Upon hearing that it was Xia Ran's idea, Old Master Su spoke up again, just as he had a few days earlier.

"Every household should pool their money and buy more apartments to stock up."

Master Su wanted to know more about Xia Ran, so he asked an old friend to check Xia Ran's background, but the result was a blank.

He found nothing, but realized that her identity was far more important than he had thought, so he wisely stopped.

He simply kept reminding himself of Xia Ran's importance.

The old man made this nonsensical remark, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

I've been feeling that my father has been acting a bit strange lately. Why is he so active and always doing things on a whim?

These younger members of the family all own their own houses, some even own more than one, so they don't lack housing at all.

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe's eldest cousin's wife, Liu Wangshu, immediately complained to her husband:

"Why buy so many houses? Is the old man going crazy?"

It was already outrageous enough that he made a special statement a few days ago for a girl he'd never met and wasn't even sure if she'd be allowed in; now this happens.

Actually, she felt uncomfortable; she was the eldest grandson and eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family.

The old man never treated her like this before she married into the family, and besides, her family was no less powerful than the Su family.

I feel that the old man is being too kind to a woman he has no connection with and who hasn't even entered the family yet, and that he's hurting her.

After complaining, Liu Wangshu waited for a long time, hoping that her husband would respond to her.

When she turned around, she found her husband, Su Mingcheng, watching the news.

I didn't even listen to what she was saying, which made me even angrier.

She also had a bad temper, and in her anger, she reached out and turned off the TV, saying, "I'll show you what watching is like, I'll show you what watching is like."

Su Mingcheng, whose TV had been turned off, was completely bewildered. "Why did you turn off the TV for no reason? What did I do to you?" he thought to himself, "This is utterly unreasonable."

This made Liu Wangshu even angrier.

……

The same goes for Su Mingzhou and his wife; they have had their own house since they got married.

He just rarely stays there; he spends all his time at his parents' place, eating and drinking for free.

Moreover, there are housekeepers here who cook and clean the house. Living alone outside is nowhere as comfortable as living here.

Since there were no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in their family, the three of them decided to stay there and refused to leave, no matter how hard they tried to get rid of them.

In Su Mingzhou's words, it was only natural for him to mooch off his parents.

Moreover, his only younger brother, Su Mingzhe, is rarely home and unmarried, so there are no disputes or family conflicts between them.

They then felt even more justified in living there.

Su Mingzhe is the most educated member of the family and also the last to get married.

That's why it receives so much attention, but of course, people just pay attention and don't say much.

Because Su Mingzhe is considered an oddball in their family. He's always a distant friend, with a sense of distance between them.

After Xia Ran finished making these arrangements, it was time for her to leave. That evening, she gave the housekeeper a "loyalty pill".

I also stocked up on a lot of local specialties and various seasonings from all over the country into my space, so I could use them to satisfy my cravings when I was in the US.

They are all purchased directly from their own shopping mall, which has everything.

Everything that our country has, and is even somewhat famous, can be found here.

After Xia Ran finished her work, she called Shao Pengfei and asked him to have people clear the area ahead of schedule.

She needs to bring in some big, impressive equipment.

Shao Pengfei also shared some really great news.

That is, following the previous discovery of a large aluminum mine, they have discovered another iron ore deposit in another part of Africa.

He has just had someone assess the reserves, and they are very large. He is now planning to bring equipment over to mine them.

"As for the aluminum mine, it's a bit more troublesome. Our people just had a fight with some local armed groups."

That's how the people in these places are. They've held onto this land for so many years, and it's barren and useless; they've discovered nothing.

Seeing that we were willing to spend money to buy it, it happily agreed and left with the money.

When they heard that aluminum ore had been discovered here, they immediately regretted it and turned their backs on us, wanting to renege on their promises and reap the benefits.

They originally planned to take this place back by force and by cheating.

They were given a good talking-to by our people, taught them a lesson, and only recently have they completely calmed down.

Their idea is wonderful, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. These places were bought back with our hard-earned money.

Xia Ran replied, "Well done. Our people either don't move, or when they do, they have to be ruthless, otherwise it would be a waste of our efforts."

We have to teach them a lesson they won't forget, really teach them a lesson they won't forget, so they won't keep showing up to annoy us every few days.

"Absolutely, that's exactly what we did."

What Shao Pengfei didn't say was that they had dealt with all the armed men who lived nearby and had instigated the incident.

They're all incredibly well-behaved now.

The men he brought with him were all incredibly ruthless and powerful, ready to fight anyone who dared to challenge them, and fearless of anyone.

Furthermore, many people in our country in the past were knowledgeable in military strategy and tactics.

They were honest in the country before because of the national conditions; they had no choice but to be honest and abide by the law.

Since going abroad, everyone has completely let loose and has been able to easily crush the local armed groups, who are still in a semi-civilized state.

Only after he arrived here did he understand what his boss meant when he joked about unifying this place.

If it weren't for someone above them keeping an eye on things, they might actually have been able to unify this area.

The main problem is that the people here really don't know how to fight; it's basically like they're just offering themselves up for free.

Fighting with the people here even feels like bullying them, because the answer is always the same: the other side is too weak.

"As long as our people don't suffer any losses, that's fine."

Speaking of iron ore, Xia Ran suddenly recalled a report from later years that Europe had the world's largest iron ore reserves.

Then what are we waiting for? We must act quickly!

So he said, "Send more professionals to Europe to take a look. There should be a lot of minerals there. Buy more large plots of land and stockpile them."

"While prices are low now, I'd like to buy some small islands to stock up on. We can use that for tourism in the future, which should have a very promising future."

“Okay, no problem,” Shao Pengfei replied immediately.

So far, nothing my boss has ever said has come true; if she says something is true, then it definitely is.

"Also, send more people to the Middle East to keep a close eye on oil," because oil is the lifeblood of the economy.

"it is good."

After finishing all that, Xia Ran called Su Mingzhe and told him she could leave.

The next day, Su Mingzhe took the earliest flight to Shanghai.
