Lü Qiuyi patiently explained to Lu Fan:

"By then, the entire property will belong to President Lu, so how it's planned and laid out will be entirely up to him, right?"

"If the designated area becomes a barrier, how will these shops do business?"

Even the best business will be stuck with you by then.

Qu Wenjing immediately understood Lu Fan and his group's idea: to force the property owners to sell their shops.

Lu Fan didn't plan to do anything to these homeowners who were driving up prices. After all, he had given them a few percentage points of premium, which was enough for them to cut their losses and even make a profit.

However, the other party was asking for an exorbitant price, thinking he was being taken advantage of. As for the specific methods, Lu Fan said:

“Hongxin Plaza caters to high-end businesses, but if I leave all the adjacent shops vacant, how will those owners and merchants open for business?”

Even if the place is open every day, I doubt many customers will come to this desolate place to shop.

Lu Fan was well aware that this was a lose-lose situation, but he had the money to afford the delay, while others might not have the same resources to throw money around with him.

Such a large-scale move made Qu Wenjing gasp again, knowing that this lose-lose situation would definitely be extremely unpleasant.

So she also came up with a strategy to deal with it, thinking of subtly reminding those homeowners who were taking the opportunity to inflate prices:

Never try to compete with players who have a lot of money in the game! You're unlikely to win, and you'll lose miserably.

Lu Fan's superior approach first impressed Qu Wenjing, who immediately agreed to expedite the acquisition of the entire Hongxin Plaza.

Lu Fan left Lü Qiuyi and Qu Wenjing to handle the coordination while he went back to deal with other property purchases.

The first step was the printing factory he had just acquired.

After reopening to "bring good fortune," the factory has already accelerated production. Originally, the first batch of urgent orders was supposed to be for Lu's Soy Sauce Factory.

But now the soy sauce factory's output has increased, and it has inventory, but it's all piling up in the warehouse, and all the staff are waiting for Lu Fan's order.

It was as if Lu Fan's order indicated when they could raise sales to the levels before the online farce.

Because it's just mass production now, and there's no rush to ship, all of these are related to trademarks and redesigned high-end products.

These are no longer urgent tasks.

However, the printing factory still has quite a few long-term clients.

Among them are various test papers and workbooks that the education department has been urging to produce.

These should have been printed and sent over before the original factory manager and accountant left.

It's been dragged on until now, and it's definitely become an urgent matter.

The employees proceeded step by step, starting with the exam papers from the education department, and gradually resumed work.

The paper materials needed for these jobs are cheap, so of course the profit margin is relatively thin.

For printing factories, it was a job that allowed them to barely survive and get by on scraps.

As for career development, there was absolutely no future prospect. Lu Fan, however, had another brilliant plan in hand.

For the city, he was like an emergency responder; it seemed that whenever something went wrong, people would call him for help.

Despite the fact that the factory was almost foreclosed on by the bank, it originally had the support of the municipal government, and the factory manager knew how to enjoy life.

This office facility is several times better than that of a soy sauce factory where hardly anyone goes.

After all, the spendthrift sons of the Wang family only thought about extorting and demanding bribes, treating the soy sauce factory as their private purse.

This printing factory was the idyllic retreat where the former factory manager and accountant used to meet.

The infrastructure is naturally well-built.

The factory manager's office is not only large, covering several hundred square meters, but also has two bedrooms and a living room. Even the bathroom is luxuriously furnished, with a bathtub as big as a swimming pool!

The hall served as the office space, decorated in a low-key yet luxurious Chinese style. I heard that the exquisite display cabinet once held many ornaments, including Tang tri-color pottery and jade coral.

They even started keeping tropical fish in a bizarre way, and the bathtub was as big as a double bed, hoping to bring them wealth and prosperity.

Now that the ornaments are gone, all the things that the factory manager didn't have time to take with him when he ran away have now benefited Lu Fan!

However, Lu Fan found it too rustic and couldn't stand it, not knowing how many people had touched or used it.

Finally, they called the security department to pack everything up.

"Isn't there a pawn shop nearby? Sell everything that can be sold. If anyone in the factory is interested, sell it at the depreciated price."

I simply moved it so I wouldn't see it anymore.

When Lu Fan's third uncle arrived, he was startled again.

Uncle Lu had already taken up his post at the opening ceremony, and he had seen the super luxurious decoration of the original office.

The emptiness of the place startled him so much that he coughed repeatedly: "I say, nephew, you just threw away all those good things?"

Lu Fan assumed that his third uncle was reluctant to part with it.

"What, is there something you like inside? Why didn't you say so earlier? Wait a minute, let me call Liu Nian, maybe they haven't sold out yet." Uncle Lu quickly stopped him:

"Nonsense, I was just saying that, there's no reason I'm reluctant to part with it." He quickly waved his hand.

Their relatives were well aware of Lu Fan's abilities.
