Dong Qing said, "Even if you go another 20 kilometers outwards, it's still within the city limits. I wouldn't sell this land here for a million yuan per mu."

Dong Qing bought 520 acres of land here in 1986, and now this land is worth hundreds of millions.

Besides, there are bricks everywhere inside. Dongqing called his cousin a while ago and asked him to sell all the bricks here. In the 1980s, a brick cost a few yuan, but now it sells for more than thirty yuan a brick. Making money like this is almost like picking up money for free. Moreover, those bricks were bought with the money he earned from buying vegetables in the fields.

Two years ago, Dongqing built an office building here ahead of schedule, which was completed a month ago. This office building will become the headquarters of Yusheng Branch.

That afternoon, Dong Qing went to the bank to complete the transfer procedures, transferring the money from the out-of-town account to the Pengcheng branch account.

They checked into a hotel that night.

The next day, after breakfast, Dong Qing bought Gu Yurou's family a three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom apartment in a nearby luxury residential area. The apartment was fully furnished.

Then I bought a whole set of furniture, appliances and daily necessities, and installed air conditioning in every bedroom and living room.

The next day, Dong Qing picked up Gu Yurou and her family from the hotel and took them to their new home.

Gu Yurou's younger sister, Gu Yufei, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this will be our home from now on! Am I dreaming?"

Gu Yurou smiled and said, "Little sister, you're not dreaming. This will be our home from now on. We have to thank the chairman for making such a luxurious home."

Gu Yurou's mother looked at this bedroom and then at that bedroom, and said, "It's so inconvenient that I have to go downstairs to use the restroom on such a high floor."

The second child, Gu Yufei, laughed and said, "Mom, how can you be so old-fashioned? Aren't these the bathrooms?"

The old woman stared at the bathroom in disbelief. She had never seen such a clean bathroom in the countryside. To put it bluntly, it was cleaner than the kitchen back home. She said, "How can I relieve myself in such a clean place?"

"Mom, you must be getting used to it since we just arrived. You'll get used to it soon."

After Gu Yurou finished speaking, she said to Dong Qing and his wife, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. That's just how we country folk are."

"It's normal. We used to be from the countryside too. This lady has never been in this kind of living environment before. She'll get used to it eventually."

Dong Qing bid farewell to Gu Yurou's family and walked out of the house with her husband, taking the elevator downstairs.

That evening, Dong Qing and his wife had dinner with Gu Yurou outside. At the dinner table, he said, "Yurou, you are the person I trust the most. I'm entrusting all the affairs of the branch company to you."

Your subordinates will arrive in a week. Our new office building is completely empty. In the next few days, you will need to purchase all the office supplies, desks, and chairs needed for the company. Once they arrive, you can set up the branch office immediately.

We'll hold a bidding process soon to finalize the construction company, and then we'll break ground. Building materials are relatively cheap right now, so don't miss this golden opportunity to invest.

Yuzhu and I will stay here for a while. We'll go back once the company is back on track.

Gu Yurou said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

A week later, the leaders from various grassroots levels of the branch company arrived. Dong Qing and Gu Yurou held a branch company meeting in the afternoon and announced the titles of the company's leaders at all levels. From today onwards, the Pengcheng branch company will enter a normal management mode.

Gu Yurou's younger sister, Gu Yufei, serves as the head of the company's human resources department.

The construction plan has been finalized: a five-star hotel and a large shopping mall will be built by the roadside, and a residential community will be built behind them.

After dinner that day, Dongqing said, "Yuzhu, I want to develop a deserted island. Let's go to sea together tomorrow."

After hearing this, Li Yuzhu looked at her husband in disbelief and asked, "What's the point of developing a deserted island if it's completely deserted?"

In his previous life, Dong Qing had planned to develop uninhabited islands, but he didn't get to implement his dream plan before he died. He really didn't want to miss out on this life.

He said, "Now that the tourism industry is gradually booming, I want to develop an uninhabited island, a seaside tourist resort."

Li Yuzhu said, "Uninhabited islands are usually far from the coast. Do you believe anyone would go to an island for tourism and vacation?"

Dong Qing said, "Trust me, if I say it will work, it will definitely work. Maritime tourism will surely become a hot trend in the future."

Li Yuzhu said, "I know I can't argue with you. Shall we go to sea tomorrow to take a look before making a reservation?"

Dong Qing nodded, pulled his wife into his arms, and affectionately kissed her forehead.

My wife generally accepts the decisions I make now, perhaps because of the trust she has placed in me over the years!

Most importantly, the company is now rich. If this had happened ten years ago, let alone agreeing, Li Yuzhu probably wouldn't have agreed even if she divorced again. Dong Qing's approach is simply a fantasy.

In the 1990s, no one was developing uninhabited islands, mainly because no one could foresee the future of tourism. Only those who have lived a lifetime know how frenzied the tourism development became in the later stages.

The next day, after breakfast, Dong Qing asked Gu Yurou to arrange some company matters and asked her to accompany him on a field survey at sea.

The next morning, the three of them drove to the East China Sea coast, and Dong Qing drove to a large shipyard.

The factory produces medium-sized yachts that can carry 298 passengers and have a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour. The yachts are equipped with kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and comfortable resting environments.

Dong Qing eventually bought the medium-sized yacht for 820,000 yuan.

The shipyard provided him with a yacht driver free of charge, so he could return to work at the shipyard after going out to sea.

Dong Qing went to the supermarket and bought half a month's worth of grain, oil, and vegetables. After the yacht was launched, he packed the food he bought into the cabin and filled the yacht with fresh water, planning to set sail the next morning.

That evening, the shipyard arranged for Dongqing and the other two to stay at the guesthouse.

The next morning, the three of them boarded the yacht with the driver, who then started the yacht and set sail.

The driver asked, "Boss, where are you headed?"

Dong Qing said, "Let's go to a relatively large uninhabited island."

The driver was familiar with this area of ​​water, so he said okay and sped towards the uninhabited island.

Dong Qing and his wife sat on the deck drinking tea with Gu Yurou.

Li Yuzhu and Gu Yurou were on a yacht at sea for the first time. Looking at the azure sea, the sea breeze was blowing their long hair. They felt as if they were in a dream.

Around noon, the yacht docked in front of an uninhabited island.

Dong Qing had the driver anchor at the shore, and the couple and Gu Yurou disembarked together.

They landed on the island, which was indeed very large, about fifteen kilometers in circumference, and was a good place to develop into a tourist destination.

Developing islands requires fresh water; without it, it's simply impossible.

The island had mountains and water, but after Dong Qing tasted it, he found that all the water was seawater and there was no fresh water resource at all. Dong Qing eventually gave up on the island.

They went back to the arcade for lunch and then continued on to the next island.

To put it simply, after searching for a week, they still couldn't find a suitable island.

Dongqing asked, "Master, do you know which island has fresh water?"
