The next day, in the factory director's office of Factory 134, Lin Yifeng picked up a pen and wrote his name under the contract.

With this contract finalized, from today onwards, factory building 134 will belong to Lin Yifeng.

After Lin Yifeng signed the contract, the factory manager excitedly went up to shake his hand.

"On behalf of Factory 134 and all its employees, I thank Boss Lin."

Seeing that the other person's eyes were curved into crescent moons, Lin Yifeng just smiled and didn't reply.

1.2 million is not a small amount in this day and age.

Moreover, of the 1.2 million, 400,000 was smuggled money, which would eventually be divided up by the leadership of Factory 134.

On the surface, Factory 134 sold its factory buildings for 800,000 yuan, of which 400,000 yuan ended up in the pockets of this group of people.

This is the factory manager who keeps saying he cares about the factory workers.

In this era, very few factory directors are truly clean.

The acquisition price was 800,000, and the 400,000 was essentially hush money.

When the wave of state-owned enterprises converting to private enterprises reaches its peak in a few years, such prime locations will be highly sought after by other large enterprises in other provinces.

At that point, the price for this kind of land will be much higher than 1.2 million.

Although Lin Yifeng still has a chance to lower the price, it may take more time.

At most, it can save you around 100,000 yuan.

With Pang Donglai about to make his move, Lin Yifeng doesn't have much time to waste with this group of people.

It's better to cut the Gordian knot and resolve the issue once and for all.

However, the two did not have any contact after this. As long as he could take over the factory, Lin Yifeng would have already accomplished most of his goal.

After leaving Factory 134, Lin Yifeng first returned to his office in Makino City to put the contract away, and then contacted the finance department to help Factory 134 make money.

After things were mostly arranged, Lin Yifeng contacted Shanyang City and called Xu Qingyi to return to Muye City.

After all, Lin Yifeng was still short-handed at this stage.

With the preliminary work in Shanyang City completed, and with Gangzi assisting Guo Fengsheng, Xu Qingyi didn't need to linger there for too long.

Bringing him back would also allow us to prepare for Pang Donglai's plans in advance.

Compared to the rigid Guo Fengsheng, Xu Qingyi was more adept at handling things and could easily navigate the complexities of decorating and contacting businesses at Pang Donglai.

Most importantly, this process inevitably involves a banquet.

Given Guo Fengsheng's precedent, Lin Yifeng was hesitant to push him too hard, and Xu Qingyi's personality was more suited to handling this job.

It's not too late to let Xu Qingyi return to Shanyang City after we've finished dealing with things in Muye.

Meanwhile, the National Day holiday is also coming to an end.

Lin Yifeng first drove to Shanyang City to drop Bai Yejin and her group off back to Stone Village. Then he returned to Muye City early to prepare for Pang Donglai's matter.

...

It was the fourth day since Lin Yifeng returned to Makino City.

Inside Factory Building 134, there was a constant clanging and banging as many migrant workers, their skin covered in dust, pushed carts out of the factory building carrying waste materials.

Xu Qingyi took off her sun hat and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Having had the experience of opening a shop in Shanyang City, I am now quite adept at contacting construction teams and have avoided many pitfalls in this regard.

A moment later, the plastic sheeting covering the outside was lifted, and Lin Yifeng walked in with light steps.

"Brother Feng."

Lin Yifeng nodded in response to Xu Qingyi's greeting, looking at the factory he had bought a few days ago.

The building is three stories high, and the doors and windows have been completely removed. Dust and mist are floating inside.

Although many people stopped to look inside, they had no idea what was going to be built there.

Of course, this is just the first step in the construction of Pang Donglai.

To build Pang Donglai, the factory buildings must first be demolished and returned to their original state before any interior decoration can begin.

This is just the most basic of the basics.

"Brother Feng, what are you planning to do with such a big place?"

Xu Qingyi looked at the three-story building with a puzzled expression and continued to ask questions.

"I heard you're going to open a supermarket."

"Brother Feng, what's a supermarket?"

Lin Yifeng looked at Xu Qingyi's puzzled expression and couldn't help but laugh.

The concept of a supermarket simply doesn't exist in people's minds in this era.

"It's a place that sells everything."

Lin Yifeng explained in the simplest terms, which made Xu Qingyi think carefully.

"Like a large market?"

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded.

"almost."

Xu Qingyi still muttered to herself with a puzzled look on her face.

"Why spend so much money to open a big market?"

"I don't think that stuff makes any money."

Lin Yifeng did not provide further explanation.

The large market that Xu Qingyi mentioned was more like the "Wanda Plaza" or "pedestrian street" of later generations.

To be precise, it was more like a commercial street.

In addition to everyday items, they also sell clothing, food, and in some places even live sheep, cattle, and pigs.

Depending on the region, the major markets in each place are also quite different.

In rural areas, a street in a town can be a large market.

Within the city, places where many things are sold, places where various small vendors gather, are also large markets.

Apart from the more developed cities in China, supermarkets only began to appear in the public eye in 1994, and they began to become popular throughout the country in 1995. Department stores only appeared in 1996.
