Mrs. Lu was completely dumbfounded by her third uncle's calculations, and remained speechless for a long time after hearing this:
"Really... really over two billion? That's a billion!"
Her voice was so weak and light that it seemed to float away.
Lu Fan laughed: "Mom, look at you, it's not like I haven't made money before, how come you always fail when it comes to Uncle?"
Lu's mother was brought back to her senses by Lu Fan's teasing words and gave him a reproachful look:
"Alright, stop joking with me. Just tell me and your uncle, is there any risk involved in this?"
Lu Fan smiled and shook his head:
"What risks are involved? Uncle is underestimating the risks. With a little hype and some advertising, it's not impossible to make an extra 10 billion."
This is just the land for the soy sauce factory; Lu Fan didn't mention how many other plots of land in Nanshan City he held.
Otherwise, if they confessed everything, wouldn't that scare Uncle Lu and his mother to death?
After Lu's third uncle and mother finally accepted the first two points, Lu Fan unleashed his final trump card:
"Then, just like we did in Jinghai City, we bought up all the companies we could acquire."
“These companies all have their own complete industrial chain. With a little management, they can achieve steady development without seeking to make a lot of money.”
"This perfectly complements our business in Jinghai City."
Hearing Lu Fan's ambitious goals, Uncle Lu couldn't help but feel a pain in his teeth: "Xiao Fan, these are all good things, but we also have to see if the people we entrust with them are up to the task."
“You know our family members well. I haven’t even had much schooling, how could I possibly be fit to manage a large company?”
"I'll take a look at Fanyue Real Estate Company; it's alright. Other companies are really not that great."
Lu's mother chimed in:
"Yes, this is a big business, we need to find a suitable person to manage it. We can't just ask relatives to help us."
Putting aside everything else, if Lu's mother's relatives knew they were taking on such a huge mess, they would have refused to come long ago.
Lu Fan reassured his third uncle and mother, "If we can't manage it all, we can hire someone to take care of it."
If it weren't for Uncle Lu and the others asking, Lu Fan wouldn't have come over to explain this to them.
As long as the general direction of your business is correct, it's fine. Even if you explain the specific details to your family, they won't understand, and they'll worry unnecessarily because they don't understand.
Therefore, Lu Fan is often unwilling to talk to his family about such detailed things.
For example, right now, Uncle Lu has only heard a few bits and pieces about the building project, and he's already starting to worry unnecessarily:
"Oh dear, the municipal government asked you to take over this soy sauce factory, right?"
"If you build skyscrapers on abandoned land, and see how much money you're making, won't they be envious?"
Uncle Lu didn't dare to say it, feeling that saying it would make the municipal government seem too low-class.
But that's just the way it is.
Lu Fan made a profit, which means the municipal government lost money!
To everyone's surprise, Lu Fan just smiled when he heard this:
"My dear uncle, what are you talking about?"
Seeing that Uncle Lu was still confused, Lu Fan had no choice but to continue explaining: "First of all, this land is not municipal land. It is land that the soy sauce factory originally owned. We bought it with real money."
"Now that there are other development uses, can the municipality still force us not to build houses, buildings, or apartments?"
"At the very least, the construction of these apartment buildings has prioritized solving the housing problem for the factory workers."
"That way, no one will have any reason to pick a fight with us."
But Uncle Lu always had a petty mind and suspected that the municipal government was unwilling to see the project make a lot of money from outsiders.
Lu Fan shook his head:
"This is a win-win situation for everyone! The project development is also a prestigious undertaking for the city, so don't worry, Uncle."
Seeing Lu Fan repeatedly vouch for them, not only Lu's third uncle but also Lu's mother gradually felt relieved.
Thinking about it, Lu Fan is right. The land and factories were all bought at clearly marked prices. There's no reason why you, being envious, shouldn't stop us from making money just because we have the brains to develop and profit from them.
If there are any problems with the proper procedures and formalities, then it's just nitpicking!
Uncle Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief and figured it out. All that was left was the excitement and joy of making a lot of money.
"Then what are we waiting for? I'll report to Fanyue Real Estate Company this afternoon and start work tomorrow!"
"Then develop, develop the project immediately, hey, a billionaire, there aren't many like that in the whole country."
"Let me taste this as soon as possible, Xiao Fan. Your uncle will be counting on you from now on."
Even Lu's mother grinned from ear to ear, saying, "It's like a dream."
Lu Fan told his third uncle and mother not to get so excited:
"You'll have to keep an eye on this building project, Third Uncle. Right now, the workload doesn't need to be too large."
"Let's draw up the blueprints first, then we can take a look and see if the plan is reasonable."
We must first make the most of these resources and avoid wasting too much.
He also asked Uncle Lu to give a heads-up to the marketing department.
