In Zhao Debiao's mind, how could a rich man like Su Wu not have a girlfriend?
Whether it's genuine or not, it's impossible for him not to have a girlfriend.
Upon hearing that Anna was Su Wu's girlfriend, Zhao Debiao suddenly realized what was going on.
Touching the scar on his head, he seemed to have found the problem.
"So that's how it is. I hit someone's girlfriend, so I deserved this beating on the bench."
"Damn, this kid's got some nerve. He doesn't even drive a car. Is he hiding his identity?"
"Could it be true love? This is interesting. What if Zhao Sihai..."
Having received the news, Zhao Debiao felt his mind was clear and decided to dig a big pit for Zhao Sihai.
On the other side, Su Wu, feeling utterly bored, accompanied Anna to watch a movie and then ate a bowl of rice noodles.
To be honest, it's hard for an old soul like him to understand the emotions of a young girl, and he can't reciprocate at all.
However, there was still something to look at; the young and beautiful Anna was indeed a sight to behold for Su Wu.
When you get tired from walking, it's a good option to stop and enjoy the scenery occasionally.
Having completed his mission, Su Wu returned to his villa.
The production equipment is about to arrive, and he needs to make some careful plans.
When he returned to the villa, he was somewhat surprised to find that Erpi had actually come back.
"When did you get back? Why didn't you call?"
"You weren't here on New Year's Day, you must have gone to a party, why would I call you?"
"You're quite conscientious, aren't you? You've taken care of everything outside?"
"No, but it's almost done. We've added eight more branch factories. I came back this time because the boss summoned me."
A big shot is summoning me?
Su Wu was puzzled upon hearing this.
Seeing his confusion, Erpi showed a hint of helplessness on his face.
"My goodness, you didn't even leave your contact information with the higher-ups. You're something else."
"I forgot. Besides, isn't it you who's here? Who else could I contact?"
"Of course, but you need to answer the phone. Is your phone fake?"
"Oh, I don't have the habit of answering calls from unknown numbers."
Upon hearing this, Erpi looked utterly dejected.
He sighed and began to explain.
"The city is planning some big moves next year, including regulating the real estate market and undertaking large-scale construction projects. We hope we can get involved."
"The higher-ups said they could give us some municipal and development projects, which can be considered as support for us."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu immediately sensed that something was amiss above.
This is indeed a form of support, but for someone who sells beverages to go into construction engineering is somewhat like using one tiger to devour another.
Is this a case of giving them a loan but not wanting them to squander it?
He had mixed feelings, but Erpi continued to explain.
"The higher-ups contacted you, but you ignored them, so I had no choice but to come back. Our number one boss wants to see you, saying he has something to discuss."
"What is it?"
"They said it's about the land your electronics company owns; that land might be used for real estate development."
"What? My equipment is almost here, and now they're planning to demolish my factory?"
"I don't know either, we'll find out when we go there tomorrow."
Hearing Erpi's words, Su Wu's heart sank.
This trouble came too suddenly.
First of all, he can't fight city hall; he can't possibly obstruct the work of those above him.
Erpi said it was discussed with him from above, but it was actually a disguised notification.
Of course, he usually won't suffer a loss in this kind of situation; there will definitely be corresponding compensation.
But he couldn't afford to delay; a debt of $120 million was no small sum.
Secondly, if he cannot obtain a suitable factory before the equipment arrives, he will be in even greater trouble.
Having equipment worth billions of dollars in port? Is this a joke?
If anything goes wrong, his losses will be incalculable.
"What's going on? Is my land going to be developed?"
"Yes, I heard they're going to build some kind of resort villa area over there, and the industrial zone is in Shuangkou."
"Is this a newly released plan?"
"No, it must have been planned for a while. By the way, you didn't buy it from Liu Zhenxing for this reason? You really have a good eye."
Erpi spoke with admiration, sensing that Su Wu had been prepared all along.
Su Wu secretly lamented his misfortune, unaware of these things.
At this time in his previous life, he was just an ordinary college student. How could he have paid attention to things like urban development?
Even after his rebirth, he still wanted to work in high-tech fields and never considered real estate.
This has backfired.
Su Wu was filled with bitterness and couldn't say anything more. He could only wait until he met the top boss of Tianjin the next day to discuss it further.
Having lived two lives, this was Su Wu's first time entering the highest government office in Tianjin, and he was a little nervous.
When they arrived at the destination, he discovered that they were not the only ones there; there were also big bosses like Zhao Sihai.
Before long, the conference room was full of people, most of whom were prominent figures in Tianjin.
At the suggestion of the top leader, the staff began to introduce the overall development direction of Tianjin in 2002.
He then expressed his expectations for the leaders, hoping they could contribute more to the development of Tianjin.
About an hour later, the issue of the North District was finally discussed, and the number one boss looked at Su Wu.
"President Su, I heard in Beijing that you're planning to build a factory in the northern district. But after returning, we discovered that your chosen factory location conflicts with our overall plan..."
"That's over 300 acres of land, crucial to the overall plan for the North District redevelopment. We hope you can cooperate with the local authorities..."
"Jinmen can help you choose another piece of land for factory development. The other 300 plot is for building a villa area. We hope you can understand. If you have any difficulties or requests, please let us know so we can work together to resolve them..."
The number one boss spoke very politely, but his words also conveyed an unquestionable authority.
Even if Su Wu was completely ignorant of worldly affairs, he knew that now was not the time to go against the grain.
After thinking for a moment, he said with a serious expression, "Sir, our original plan was to start assembling production equipment after the Spring Festival. It is indeed difficult to suddenly change the plan now."
“If it requires building a new factory, my difficulties will be even greater. You know, it’s an investment of billions of dollars, and we can’t afford to lose it. I hope to get a factory that can be renovated, rather than building a new one.”
Just kidding, Su Wu did his research before he went to trick Liu Zhenxing.
What he valued was not the land itself, but the existing factory area, which could be used with minor modifications.
If he were to build the factory himself, how long would it take him?
He's thinking about exchanging his factory for a similar one.
Upon hearing this, the top leader nodded slightly, "This is indeed a problem, but there should be a way to solve it."
He had just finished speaking when Zhao Sihai suddenly spoke up.
"Boss, I happen to have a restricted factory area under my management, covering 200 acres. If General Manager Su agrees, we can exchange them, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
