Yao Junjun's call came just in time, rescuing Su Wu from the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

If it weren't for that phone call, he doesn't know how long he would have talked to Anna.

After finally seeing Anna off, Su Wu hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when his phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Erpi calling, he answered immediately.

"Brother, you're back from Shanghai?"

"Yeah, I just got here. I'm at the Sihai Hotel with Lao Gao, Lao Wang, and Hu Zi. Shall we all get together?"

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wu immediately rushed over.

When he arrived at the destination, he saw that almost all of his current team had arrived.

As soon as he, the key figure, arrived, everyone immediately became lively, chattering away.

The one who is most in high spirits right now is Erpi.

As the head of Ruyang Foods, he is now enjoying immense success.

After more than half a year of operation, Ruyang Beverages has now become a household name in the country.

Their products are diverse, of good quality, and reasonably priced, making them very popular with ordinary consumers.

"Ruyang Foods' beverages are already very popular; it's estimated that they'll sell at least several billion bottles this year..."

However, Erpi wasn't without his worries.

After recounting the recent developments, he began to sigh.

"Sigh, although we're doing well now, it's not without its troubles. That damn Coca-Cola company is still suing us, making it so that big supermarkets in major cities don't want our Coke anymore..."

Big cities are definitely markets that any product wants to enter, and they are also a necessity for development.

The fact that Yang Kele was turned away left those present sighing with regret.

Su Wu was also at a loss, as it was not something he was good at to begin with.

After careful consideration, he said helplessly, "Then let's change our strategy. We can give up some of the market in first- and second-tier cities and just develop cities below the third tier."

"Sigh, that's all we can do. Fortunately, we've developed fast enough and have already captured a significant market share." Erpi nodded helplessly as well.

He now feels quite regretful. If it weren't for Su Wu's magic tricks—generating money, developing formulas, and acquiring equipment—they would never have achieved their current scale.

Su Wu also sighed, saying that if they hadn't stolen the Coca-Cola formula, Ruyang Beverages probably wouldn't have grown to its current size.

So if you've benefited, it's only right that the person in charge should cause you some trouble; otherwise, there would be no justice.

Everyone present was filled with emotion. Wang Hu, who was in charge of the real estate business, scratched his head and spoke up somewhat embarrassedly.

“The municipal engineering projects have resumed, so there are no major problems. However, our Modern City project is still facing numerous troubles, including loan issues. It is now confirmed that Jinchi Real Estate is behind this.”

Wang Hu had finally managed to become a supervisor, but his efforts backfired, leaving him devastated.

The Modern City project shone brightly at the housing fair, and its future looks very promising.

But no one expected that it would be hampered by various parties and its development would be very unsuccessful.

Even bank loans are being held up and can't be processed anytime soon.

Everyone felt helpless listening to his complaints.

They had all heard of Jinchi Real Estate; it was a leading enterprise.

Su Wu originally didn't care much.

As long as he can secure the loan, he won't care how long it takes to build.

But now that there are problems with loans, that's a different story.

"Where exactly did we offend Jinchi Real Estate?"

"It must be that our project clashes with theirs, or they are jealous of us."

Legal representative Jiang pushed up his glasses and spoke in a deep voice.

Su Wu gritted his teeth, "They're really domineering. The market is so big, do they really have to squeeze into the same pot with everyone else and mess around? They're so short-sighted!"

"Our analysis suggests that Jinchi Real Estate is very likely trying to acquire our project."

However, Judge Jiang calmly offered a startling deduction.

"Acquiring Modern City?"

Everyone gasped in surprise upon hearing this.

They all knew about this project; the land alone amounted to 1,000 acres.

Even though it's only just begun preparations and construction, the project design and other aspects alone will definitely not be a small amount.

Moreover, anyone in the know can see the future returns of this project; trying to acquire it at a low price is simply a pipe dream.

Su Wu frowned and asked, "So what do you think Jinchi Real Estate's approximate price range is?"

He's in a hurry to make money right now, and he wouldn't mind selling if the price is right.

Compared to future gains, he needs to solve the immediate problems more now.

With only six months left, his billions of dollars in debt not only remained unresolved, but he was also spending more and more money on it, which was unacceptable.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Sifa hesitated and said, "It probably won't be too high. Judging from their current attitude, it shouldn't exceed 500 million by much."

This result surprised everyone; it was practically the cost Su Wu was currently facing.

Even if there's some markup, at this price, Su Wu would only make a little over 100 million.

This is far too little compared to the billions of dollars in revenue that Modern City is expected to generate in the future.

Su Wu frowned upon hearing this.

If that's the case, then they're just taking advantage of his lack of connections.

It's true what they say, "The forest may be still, but the wind won't stop." Neither of these two, father and son, is any good.

He secretly hardened his heart and looked at Wang Hu, Jiang Sifa, and the others.
