I stood up as I spoke, and Lu Xianning suddenly kissed me again: "Next time! Next time, can we find a suitable place?"
Lu Xianning's almost pleading tone showed that she cared about me and was afraid that I would be really angry.
"Alright! Be careful yourself too."
Lu Xianning nodded and sent me out.
…
Yuan Bao completed the acquisition of Dow two days ago, or to be more precise, he bought it.
When the bank auctioned off the assets, others went to buy Dow's shipping and real estate companies. Although the prices were high, they still wanted to buy them as a partnership.
What did Yuan Bao buy? Yuan Bao bought land.
Those people usually target stores, villas, and even unsold properties.
Yuan Bao avoided these and bought factories, especially those with large areas of land.
I came back today and brought my eldest brother Zhu Xiaoshu and his wife back with me.
He came back first and asked my servants to buy some good wine and food.
When I came back, they were still drinking.
"Come on, Third Brother! You're back just in time, let's have a drink!"
I smiled and sat down. "Second brother! Didn't you say you were going to acquire Dow? Why did you end up taking all the land back?"
"Third brother! At first, I really wanted to buy out Tao's, but those people in Fukagawa are such idiots.
They all have IOUs from Tao, so they have to bid for the good stuff first, so I can only pick up the leftovers."
Zhu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He must have some information. Those remote areas also need to be developed."
Yuan Bao scratched his head embarrassedly, making everyone laugh.
"Actually, I'm not arguing with them. I'm rushing back because there's another thing. There's a rumor from the Shanghai Municipal Government that any company recognized as an outstanding enterprise will receive tax support next year.
These units will be given priority in the city’s development projects.
Next year, the garrison near Shanghai will be expanded, which involves several projects, and we must give priority to outstanding companies."
Um...is there such a thing?
"If I hadn't given the mayor face, would our excellent company have been ruined?"
Everyone looked at me.
I told him that I refused to attend the entrepreneurs' gathering tonight.
He also talked about Mayor Fan gritting his teeth after he went out.
Yuan Bao immediately changed his tone: "In fact, it's not that important to have any outstanding enterprises. Shanghai has been developed almost completely. Apart from the military, what else can be developed?"
Third brother! Let’s not get involved this time. Third brother supports you.”
Zhu Xiaoshu also nodded and said, "Third brother! Just be brave and do whatever you want. Even if we brothers go out to beg for food, we won't be bullied by them."
I was really touched by what they said.
"But! Mayor Fan really excluded us from the list of excellent companies, so he must be feeling bad."
Everyone focused their attention on me again.
