After all, in his view, it was normal for Chen Feng to be angry now; it was just impotent rage, so why bother with him?
"Of course, this is a big entrepreneur from Futian. After he takes over the gold mine, he will move a factory from the county town and open a hotel in the city."
“These are all actions that can boost the surrounding economy,” Xiahou replied matter-of-factly.
“Once the mine is officially open for business, I can do all of what you’re saying too,” Chen Feng said, finding it somewhat amusing.
“You don’t have his extensive experience. Not only might you not be able to boost the economy, but you might even cause it to regress, which is not what we want to see,” Xiahou said, shaking his head.
"Was he born knowing how to open a hotel and a factory?"
"He was already using a sewing machine while he was still in his mother's belly? Are you kidding me?" Chen Feng's words were starting to become rude.
Xu Guang's eyes flashed with anger as he squinted at Chen Feng, not expecting the kid to speak so rudely.
Xiahou had previously said that this kid was always timid and submissive, not daring to even breathe loudly in front of him. But seeing him today, something seems off.
"Chen Feng, watch your tone. I called you two together today for your own good," Xiahou said coldly.
"Otherwise, I could just tell you to get lost, do you understand what I mean?"
"Alright, alright, continue. Tell me how you're doing this for my own good. I'm listening." Chen Feng raised his hands, a sneer playing on his lips.
Xiahou glared at him, but still held back his temper and said, "Mr. Xu knows that you have already bought the equipment and spent a lot of money."
"And once you can no longer work in mining, it's just a pile of junk that nobody wants to sell."
"So he's willing to acquire it and help you get cash back."
"Oh, I wonder how much this Mr. Xu is willing to pay to take over this mess of mine?" Chen Feng asked, feigning surprise.
"The original price of the equipment you bought should be 3.24 million. You know that if you sell it now, it will probably only be worth a few hundred thousand, or even not at all."
“I am willing to pay a high price of three million to take over your equipment, and this is also out of respect for Leader Xia.”
"Otherwise, I wouldn't even look at your piece of junk, it's too small," Xu Tian said with a disdainful smile.
"So you mean I should thank you? What if I don't agree?" Chen Feng looked at Xiahou.
"Then you can keep it yourself. Nobody is obligated to take it from you. I only asked Boss Xu to take it because I see you've had a hard life. Otherwise, who would bother with this?" Xiahou said, pretending to be concerned for Chen Feng.
“Boss, you seem to have misunderstood me. I mean… what if I don’t agree to withdraw from this mine?” Chen Feng asked calmly.
"Disagree? That's not up to you."
“If you operate without a license, I can arrest you for illegal mining. At that point, it won’t just be about whether it’s a gold mine or not; it will be about how long you’ll spend in jail.”
"Furthermore, I advise you to sign it, even though the deposit will be refunded if the mining license is not obtained."
"But it's hard to say exactly when it will be returned."
Xiahou's words were clearly threatening. He looked at Chen Feng and couldn't help but sneer.
Chen Feng has already invested over eight million yuan, both inside and out.
Xiahou estimated that for an ordinary villager like him to be able to scrape together this much money, he had already begged and pleaded with everyone he knew, and had borrowed who knows how much debt he had.
His meaning was simple: if you listen to me, you should obediently give up the mine.
I'll return this eight million to you so you can live out the rest of your life in peace.
But if you don't listen, don't blame me for being impolite.
You can forget about getting that eight million back. Be prepared to be stuck with me for the rest of your life.
At that point, you'll be doomed anyway, and if you dare to continue mining, they'll throw you in jail and make you spend a few years there.
"Kid, you know the old saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' This is something you can't have at all, so don't be delusional."
"Wouldn't it be better to live the rest of your life with this money? I imagine it wasn't easy for an ordinary villager like you to save up so much money, was it?"
"Don't ruin yourself because of a moment of impulsiveness," Xu Guang said proudly, leaning back in his chair.
"Just because I can't have it, does that mean you can?"
Chen Feng picked up the tea beside him, smiled calmly, poured himself a cup, took a sip, and seemed completely unthreatened.
"You'd better follow my advice, or don't blame me for being heartless later," Xiahou said softly, taking a sip of tea as well.
Chen Feng turned his head to look at the pattern on his teacup and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Xiahou, I'll tell you the truth today too."
"If I can't make this mine work, then nobody else can either!"
At this moment, Chen Feng was completely different from the Chen Feng who used to stick his head out as soon as he entered the door!
As expected, Xiahou's face darkened immediately upon hearing this. He glared at Chen Feng with anger in his eyes.
He never expected that Chen Feng, who had always been timid and hesitant in front of him, would dare to speak to him like that, even calling him by his full name, and even threatening him!
Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that, and even threatening me?!
"Chen Feng, is this your attitude?" Xiahou exuded an aura of dominance, staring coldly at Chen Feng.
Most people would have been too intimidated to speak under Xiahou's imposing presence, but Chen Feng remained unfazed, not even flinching at Xiahou, staring straight at him with a disdainful smile.
"Xiahou, I'll give you face and call you 'leader'."
"If I don't give you face, who do you think you are?"
Upon hearing these earth-shattering words, Xiahou was so enraged that he laughed in anger and said "good" three times.
"Fine, fine, Chen Feng, remember what you said today. I'll show you what I really am."
Having been in power for so many years, everyone treats him with utmost respect. Let alone an ordinary villager, even a billionaire entrepreneur would have to greet him with a smile and a handshake!
Who would dare to speak to him like that!
He hadn't been this angry in a long time.
"Kid, I think you've really had your fill of the good life, you..."
Before Xu Guang could finish speaking, Chen Feng coldly interrupted him.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Did I ask you to speak? Do you even have the right to speak, you dog?"
"You call yourself an entrepreneur from Futian? You're really good at patting yourself on the back. You're just a stray dog that couldn't make it in Futian, yet you dare to bark and howl in front of me?"
"Don't fucking look at me like that. Are you speechless and all you can do is glare, you stray dog?"
