Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Yang quickly asked, "How much money are you planning to ask for?"

Mr. Chen said with a stern face, "At least 500 million, not a penny less."

From what Lu Yang heard from his side, this Mr. Chen must have owed money to someone or gone bankrupt.

Otherwise, how could such a large piece of land be so easily given away to someone else?

So he quickly tried to lower the price: "It's a bit too expensive. How about we compromise and go for 450 million?"

After a moment of silence, Mr. Chen gave Lu Yang an address: "Come over for a face-to-face meeting."

Lu Yang quickly grabbed Yao Lili and headed to the address given by Boss Chen. On the way, he also called his assistant and two bodyguards, asking them to come over as well.

So when Lu Yang arrived, his assistant and two bodyguards were already waiting for them downstairs. The place Boss Chen mentioned was a teahouse.

The group of five entered the teahouse and saw a middle-aged man with a head and neck of equal thickness sitting in the corner.

He ate his snacks with his head down, wolfing them down as if he hadn't eaten in a long time.

Lu Yang walked up to her and tentatively asked, "Are you Boss Chen?"

Mr. Chen looked up, picked up the tea on the table, and downed it in one gulp.

Then she punched her own chest, choking so hard her eyes rolled back.

After he calmed down, he smiled at Lu Yang and said, "Yes, yes, I am Chen Dafu."

Lu Yang found this man a bit funny. He looked at Boss Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is this your business?"

Mr. Chen shook his head: "No, I just thought it was quiet here, so I asked you to come and talk to me."

“450 million won’t do, at least 480 million, not a penny less. To tell you the truth, I still owe someone 500 million.”

"That's why I set the price of that land at 500 million."

“I only have 20 yuan right now. If you lower the price any further, I won’t be able to fill the hole. You’re pushing me to the brink.”

Lu Yang thought carefully and realized that he definitely remembered this Chen Dafu.

Because this person owned such a large piece of land, and had at least been wealthy in the past, Lu Yang couldn't possibly be completely unaware of him.

A few seconds later, Lu Yang suddenly remembered.

This guy used to hang out with He Yunwei. In his previous life, he bullied others because He Yunwei hadn't fallen from power, so he was extremely arrogant.

Five years later, the land that Lu Yang had his eye on was developed into a residential community.

The housing prices were extremely high, and Chen Dafu made a fortune.

But this guy has always been involved in organized crime, and occasionally he even does some dirty work for He Yunwei, who has already gone out of business and gone straight.

Later, He Yunwei sacrificed him to save the king, and he was executed about 10 years later.

Lu Yang had absolutely no good impression of this guy when he saw him.

Moreover, he felt that what this guy was saying wasn't true; he probably just didn't want Lu Yang to keep lowering the price.

But Lu Yang came to do business, not charity, so how could he be soft-hearted, especially when dealing with such morally corrupt people?

So he said helplessly, "I just bought a piece of the factory area behind the state-owned garment factory today for 100 million yuan. Now you want me to come up with 480 million yuan? I really can't come up with that."

"450 million is all the assets I can offer. Why don't you try looking for someone else?"

As Lu Yang spoke, he gestured for Yao Lili to get up and quickly walked out of the teahouse.

Chen Dafu called out to Lu Yang twice from behind, but Lu Yang just waved at him and continued walking forward.

Chen Dafu got up and quickly chased after him. He grabbed Lu Yang and cried, "I'm really desperate. If I don't pay off my gambling debts, Li Chen will kill me."

"Please, have mercy on me and help me out. I know you must have 480 million."

Lu Yang said helplessly, "I really don't have any. I have a huge business in the south. You should have heard of it."

"We still have a large amount of inventory stuck in shopping malls in the provincial capital, and we just spent another million. Do you think I'm a bank?"

Chen Dafu immediately wilted, looking like a frostbitten eggplant.

He sighed and said, "Alright, 460 million is acceptable, I can't go any lower."

After some calculation, Lu Yang concluded that the land was actually worth 500 million.

It's just business as a thing; who wouldn't want to spend less money?

So he agreed to the deal and went with Chen Dafu to complete the transfer procedures.

After completing the formalities, Chen Dafu and Lu Yang went to the bank, where Lu Yang transferred 460 million yuan to him.

The guy was overjoyed after receiving the money, even happier than during the New Year, and ran away as fast as he could with the money.

Lu Yang stared speechlessly at the man's retreating figure, and asked in confusion, "How much do you think he owes Li Chen? I'd guess 400 million."

Yao Lili thought about it carefully and said, "It should be more than that. Li Chen is a loan shark."

Lu Yang shook his head. He was too lazy to think about the problem anymore and went directly to the nearby labor market.

They need to clear the snow from the factory area first, and then lay the foundation and build the factory as soon as spring arrives.

He found more than a dozen people at the labor market to shovel snow tonight, and the two of them went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Yao Lili rested her chin on her hand, looked at Lu Yang, and said with a smile, "It really feels different to spend 560 million in one day."

Lu Yang didn't seem to mind. He peeled an egg for Yao Lili and ate it quietly himself.

“You may think this is a lot of money now, but I have a feeling that in the future, it won’t be easy to buy a large house in the capital with this amount of money.”

Yao Lili was immediately shocked and blurted out, "How is that possible? Who would buy such an expensive house?"

Lu Yang gave a wry smile: "Those who can afford it will naturally buy it, and those who can't can only watch the show. It's always the same."

Yao Lili was greatly puzzled, but she chose to remain silent.

Three days later, the snow was cleared away, and Lu Yang was about to go to the open space to take a look when his cell phone rang before he even got there.

After he answered the phone, he heard Li Rongqing's voice on the other end.

"Mr. Lu, I've taken advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to sort out all the relationships."

"When are you going to open a restaurant here? Let me know in advance and I'll pick you up from the train station."

Lu Yang was surprised by Li Rongqing's efficiency and asked, "How many branches can I open in your city at most?"

Li Rongqing smiled and said, "Five stores? Don't worry, there's definitely no problem with the quota. You just need to hang up the signs for food and beverage bars and restaurants, and complete all the relevant procedures, and you can open for business."

Lu Yang was overjoyed. All things considered, the restaurant's promotion had only been carried out in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, and a few northern provinces.

They are still relatively unknown in many markets and need to further expand their influence.

If he can open a successful restaurant in Shandong, he will connect the restaurants here with those in Shandong.

This is the scale that a restaurant business should be on for him.

"I'll get there as soon as I can and call you when I arrive."

Lu Yang felt as if countless RMB were already beckoning to him.
