Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 361 No. 63 Gisfield Road

Upon entering the trading company, Ye Shaohong easily found the manager by asking around.

Li Zhichao.

After explaining his purpose, Li Zhichao was overjoyed.

These past few days, Li Zhichao has been so anxious about his only son being kidnapped that his hair has turned white.

He wanted to sell off the foreign firm's assets.

Although Shanghai is a large city, not everyone can take over this industry.

Even if someone got wind of the news and came to contact him, the price they offered was far below Li Zhichao's expected target.

He wasn't too concerned about the amount of the loss now. But if he couldn't reach the amount he needed, he wouldn't be able to raise enough to redeem his only son.

So he could only continue to wait.

They advertised the sale in the newspaper while waiting for new customers to come to their door.

Ye Shaohong's appearance gave him new hope.

After a brief conversation, the price quoted by Ye Shaohong delighted Li Zhichao.

"Eighteen thousand US dollars?"

"Sir, are you sure this amount is correct?"

"of course."

Ye Shaohong crossed his legs, displaying the air of a spoiled brat from a wealthy family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and responded nonchalantly.

"Good, good, that's great."

"I promise you."

"When can we sign the contract? And if we do, how long will it take for me to receive the money?"

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry. To redeem his only bloodline, Li Zhichao has given up everything. He doesn't care about his reputation anymore and eagerly asks questions.

Upon seeing this, Ye Shaohong felt a great deal of emotion, but on the surface, he still pretended to show some dissatisfaction.

After frowning, he let out a muffled groan.

"If you're in a hurry, I can pay in cash after signing the contract."

"only……."

"Just what?"

Li Zhichao's face turned pale. Ye Shaohong was now his only lifeline, and he didn't want to let him go so easily.

"But I need to check your accounts and the goods transportation channels first." "If there are no problems, I will buy this trading company."

Ye Shaohong is playing the role of a spoiled young master, but that doesn't mean he's a fool who's easily fooled. He still has to go through the proper business procedures.

"do not worry."

"This trading company is currently operating very healthily, its accounts are very clear, and its transportation channels have been maintained well."

"Once you purchase it and complete the transfer procedures, you can put it into operation immediately."

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, Li Zhichao's expression immediately relaxed. Clearly, he was still very confident in the business he ran. Even though he was in dire straits, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride and self-satisfaction when he spoke these words.

"We'll have to see to know."

Half a day later, near dusk, Ye Shaohong finally finished checking the foreign firm's accounts and carefully compared and confirmed the transportation channel information. Relatively speaking, he was quite satisfied.

To be able to buy this trading company, along with its warehouses, transport fleet, product sales channels, and transportation channels, for only $18,000, saving him the time of rebuilding, was definitely a profitable deal.

Ye Shaohong had no intention of backing out.

After signing the contract with Li Zhichao, they went directly to the French Concession Municipal Council and the Bureau of Commerce to complete the handover procedures.

When the $18,000 was handed to Li Zhichao, Ye Shaohong clearly saw that Li Zhichao's eyes immediately turned red.

There was regret and emotion.

More than anything, it was an indescribable joy.

After paying the money, Li Zhichao was about to leave immediately when Ye Shaohong suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"Mr. Li." "Judging from your eagerness to sell your assets, are you planning to leave Shanghai?"

"If you are leaving, will you sell the house you live in?"

“I just arrived in Shanghai and don’t have a place to stay yet. If your house is also for sale, I might consider taking it over.”

Is Ye Shaohong taking advantage of the situation to extort money from me?

Obviously not.

He wanted to take this opportunity to solve the problem of where to settle down completely, killing two birds with one stone. He wanted to buy the house where Li Zhichao lived at the same time as buying the foreign firm, so that even if he was investigated by others in the future, Ye Shaohong would have enough to say to deal with everything.

He's always ready to help others.

That's a good reason, and it can handle some trouble.

"You want to buy my house?" Li Zhichao paused, turned around, and looked at Ye Shaohong. He didn't doubt Ye Shaohong's words, after all, Ye Shaohong had already shown him his strength.

He could easily pull out a huge sum of money—$18,000—and buying the house he lived in would be no problem at all.

He was just wondering how Ye Shaohong knew that he owned property in Shanghai.

This doubt, however, only lingered briefly in his mind.

Because Ye Shaohong has already given his accurate answer.

"Mr. Lee."

"You don't actually think that my purchase of your trading company was a spur-of-the-moment, impulsive act, do you?"

"That's right, I'm a good-for-nothing, which is why my parents sent me to Shanghai to start a new business. But I've been learning how to do business from my father since I was a child, so I still have the necessary caution."

"If I hadn't thoroughly investigated your family situation beforehand, do you think I would have readily and lavishly purchased your trading company's properties?"

Ye Shaohong's explanation perfectly dispelled Li Zhichao's doubts. He thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

no way.

After selling the foreign firm's property, he lost his source of income in Shanghai. Even if he could keep a house, it would be extremely difficult for him to continue living in Shanghai.

Since that's the case, why not sell the house, redeem the only son, and then take the money from the house sale and go back to our old home in the countryside with him?

That way, the father and son might still have a chance to survive.

"Okay, I'll sell it!"

"Mr. Ye, what price are you willing to offer?"

"Don't worry, the price I'm offering will definitely satisfy you. Now, can you take me to your house for a look?" Ye Shaohong's lips curled into a smile as he responded.

More than half an hour later, the two of them appeared at villa number 63 Giesfair Road. Standing at the entrance of the villa, looking at the wide road in front of them, Ye Shaohong could vaguely see the shadow of number 76 Giesfair Road.

This house was Ye Shaohong's real purpose in buying Li Zhichao Trading Company.

He didn't forget.

A year later, a group of bloodthirsty demons will move into 76 Gisfield Road, and those traitors and collaborators will inevitably become his main adversaries in the future.

His early planning now may bring him immense benefits in the future.

"very nice."

"I have a question, Mr. Li. Your trading company is located in the French Concession, so why did you purchase properties in the International Settlement?"
