It was dinnertime, and Qin Fu had just finished having dinner with Master Ning.
Just as he was about to take Master Ning out for a stroll, the phone suddenly rang.
Upon answering the call and hearing Fu Wan's voice, Qin Fu's face instantly lit up with a smile.
"Haha, Comrade Fu, what made you think of calling me? Did you hear about Zhao Dong?"
Qin Fu had been planning to reply to Fu Wan's message these past few days, but he'd been so busy that he'd completely forgotten about it.
As Fu Wan had predicted, the gossip surrounding Zhao Dong caused considerable public pressure. Many businessmen in Beijing ended their business dealings with the Zhao family.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Fu led his men to seize a large portion of these businesses, and has been busy with these matters for the past few days.
"Haha, I've heard about him, but Brother Qin, I'm not calling you about Zhao Dong."
"Oh? What's the reason for that?"
Qin Fu was immediately intrigued by Fu Wan's words, and Fu Wan, without keeping him in suspense, simply stated her purpose.
"There's a large area in Shanghai that's slated for development. Brother Qin, are you interested?"
"Shanghai Stock Exchange?"
Qin Fu was stunned. He never expected that Fu Wan would run away from Longhai City to Shanghai after only a few days of no contact.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, there are plenty of wealthy people in Shanghai. How could we outsiders possibly have a place to ask for money?"
Having been around for so many years, Qin Fu knew that places, especially well-developed ones, are most prone to xenophobia.
Putting aside other places, even the capital city is very xenophobic.
If Fu Wan hadn't had Ning Sanye's reputation to protect her, she wouldn't have been able to buy land in the capital so easily.
Even if you have money, you still need connections!
Fu Wan sensed the worry in Qin Fu's words, so she told him that it was Qiao Zhenguo who had invited her.
After saying a few words, Qin Fu fell silent.
The mayor personally extended an invitation; such a gesture was something even Master Ning, let alone Qin Fu, had never encountered.
"Since the top leader took the initiative to invite you, there's a high chance your project will be successful."
Ning Sanye's sudden voice startled Fu Wan on the other end of the phone.
"Third Master, you're here too!"
"Hehe, I'm here, Comrade Xiao Fu. Have you run into any ambergris lately?"
The ambergris arrived late, but Fu Wan smiled helplessly. "No, Third Master, did you already use up the ambergris from last time?"
This guy is rich and capricious; he burns ambergris, which is more expensive than gold, like a mosquito coil.
The key issue is that every time he encounters Fu Wan, he has to ask if there's any ambergris available recently. Fu Wan is embarrassed, as she can't possibly chase after sperm whales to clean their poop every day, can she?
When Fu Wan asked him this question, Third Master Ning coughed twice, feeling embarrassed.
"I haven't used it all up, but I'm just reminding Comrade Xiao Fu, if you run into him, don't forget about this old man!"
"Haha, I won't forget! If I ever get any ambergris, I'll let you know first!"
Hearing Fu Wan's assurance, Master Ning was finally satisfied.
Lately, he's been thinking a lot about his youth, so he's been burning more ambergris.
Smelling this stuff too much isn't good either; he'd been feeling a bit unwell these past few days, so Qin Fu put the ambergris away.
"Third Master, you just said this project is feasible, is that true?"
Fu Wan asked a question, and Third Master Ning nodded. Then, remembering that Fu Wan was blind, he took a sip of tea in response.
"Yes, he could be the top official in Shanghai. Right now, it's Qiao Zhenguo, isn't it?"
This person seems decent enough; the fact that they invited you suggests they value your abilities.
After saying that, he looked at Qin Fu.
"The capital city is full of hidden talents, and the competition for opportunities is fierce."
In the area where you're building commercial housing, quite a few people have been regretting not buying in during this period.
I think land in Beijing is getting harder and harder to buy. You guys might as well go somewhere else!
Having spent his entire life in the underworld, Master Ning possessed a level of insight in certain matters that Qin Fu and Fu Wan could not match.
Fu Wan was astonished. She knew that Pudong would definitely develop well in the future, but that was because she had been reborn.
Master Ning didn't reincarnate, yet he possesses such vision; no wonder everyone in the capital gives him face.
Upon hearing Master Ning's words, Qin Fu readily agreed.
However, Qin Fu didn't have much money. The building in the capital hadn't been sold yet, and he had recently taken on a lot of new business, so he didn't have much available funds.
So Fu Wan made an agreement with him: she would be responsible for buying the land, and Qin Fu would be responsible for contracting the construction of the building.
Anyway, he has a ready-made construction team, and Fu Wan will pay him for the construction work in a timely manner.
If Qin Fu also wants to buy land, that's his own business.
However, Fu Wan still emphasized to him several times that the architect who was in charge of drawing the structural drawings of the Happiness Community had to be brought over no matter what.
Because Fu Wan plans to build several commercial buildings in Pudong.
What she wanted was modernity and technology, and she vaguely felt that the architect could definitely draw it.
It was already eight o'clock when I finished the phone call with Qin Fu.
Just as Fu Wan was about to go wash up, there was a knock on her door.
Fu Ming's voice followed.
"Ah Wan, Ah Wan!"
Fu Wan opened the door, knowing that Fu Ming must have come to talk about his gains at the train station.
"Brother, how's it going? Do you have our goods at the train station?"
Fu Ming nodded excitedly. Seeing that he was covered in sweat, Fu Wan quickly poured him a glass of water.
Fu Ming drank it all in one gulp, "Oh dear, I'm exhausted."
The train to Longhai City was delayed today. It hadn't arrived when we got there, and we waited quite a while before it finally arrived.
The train conductor, Uncle Wang, happened to know us, and after a few words, he gave us half of the cargo on the train.
"But you still need to talk to Fu Jian and ask him to send another batch of goods to Longhai Railway Station tomorrow. We're offering this batch on credit!"
Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated by these words. She never expected that she would have to ask customers for credit for the goods produced in her own factory.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, no one expected that the goods that had been prepared for three days would be sold out in just one day.
Fu Wan looked behind Fu Ming but didn't see Wang Jianmin, which made her feel strange.
"Why did you come back alone? Where is Uncle Wang?"
Fu Ming poured himself another glass of water. "Oh, he's chatting with the old man downstairs, Uncle Liu, the one who rents us the tricycle. We just rode the tricycle to the train station, and the old man wasn't happy and said he wanted to increase the rent!"
"Hehe, Uncle Wang chatted with him for a few minutes and gave him half a pack of cigarettes, and the old man didn't say anything after that."
Right now, he's probably downstairs chatting happily with Uncle Wang, calling him "brother" all the time!
Well, it seems Wang Jianmin has made quite a sacrifice; after moving the goods, he still has to chat with the customer.
Oh dear, she'll have to give Wang Jianmin a raise later.
With the issue of the goods resolved, and seeing that Wang Jianmin had gone upstairs, Fu Wan waved to them, signaling them to go back to sleep. Then she closed her bedroom door and prepared to wash up.
Only a third of the three-day trade fair has passed, and she needs to rest up so she can continue her efforts the next day!
I need to try to earn more money so I can buy more land in Pudong later!
