Tang Ping laughed smugly, "Hehe, then I made the right choice. You know what? Yu Xueqing is selling like hotcakes right now, and the factory is lining up to order more."
"I know you're amazing, hurry up and eat, then go take a shower."
Chen Shuting smiled.
Sure enough, once the topic changed, Chen Shuting didn't ask any more questions.
After finishing their meal, Tang Ping went to the restroom, while Chen Shuting tidied up the table.
It was another beautiful night. When Tang Ping woke up in the morning, he rubbed his lower back, which was a little sore. He had been up to his usual wild pace the night before.
Indeed, women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties.
Chen Shuting is now caught between a wolf and a tiger, and she almost drained Tang Ping dry in one night.
If it weren't for his physical resilience, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Tang Ping drove home after daybreak.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard my elderly mother complaining to my aunt, Tang Shuyun.
“The old street is in such a good location, but the demolition compensation is only a few tens of thousands of yuan. No matter how you look at it, it’s a loss. It’s all because of that rascal A-Ping. He insisted that these old houses would be valuable in the future, so I used up all my savings to buy them. This money was originally intended for his wedding.”
"Sigh, sis, forget it. Tang Ping is capable now, he won't have to worry about not finding a wife."
"That's what they say, but our situation is actually not too bad. Several families in the old street are crammed into one house. We were hoping to move to a new house after the demolition, but with this little compensation, we can't even afford to buy a new house. Sigh, it's pitiful."
...
Listening to the two chatting, Tang Ping suddenly felt puzzled.
The real estate market has been booming in the past two years, and the next decade or so is expected to be a golden age. Many people have become rich overnight through demolition and relocation compensation. However, it is unexpected that some people in Jinghai have actually lost money through demolition and relocation compensation.
Tang Ping knew that area of the old street; it was mostly filled with self-built buildings. These buildings occupied a considerable area, so theoretically, the demolition compensation should be substantial.
Moreover, it has a good geographical location, being located in the heart of Jinghai.
In the future, the old street area will become the commercial center of Jinghai, with several commercial buildings and a CBD being built.
"Mom, what's going on? The old street is being demolished. Which developer is it?" Tang Ping asked as soon as he entered the house.
The old mother was startled and immediately glared at him, saying, "You brat, why do you walk so quietly? Do you even know you have a home?"
Tang Ping chuckled awkwardly, picked up a tomato, took a bite, and asked, "Look at what you're saying. I was back yesterday, but you weren't home. If you don't believe me, ask my aunt. Tell me about the situation on the old street, what exactly happened?"
"Demolition should have been a happy event, and the residents of the old street had been waiting for it. But this time, the compensation was extremely low, almost the same as in the suburbs. I heard the developer is called Wanshi Group, but I don't know much about it. Now the residents are making a fuss."
"Wanshi Group? Wasn't it taken over by the Construction Engineering Group?" Tang Ping was even more puzzled.
In Jinghai, the Construction Engineering Group is the largest developer with abundant capital. Most of the municipal and real estate projects in Jinghai have been won by the Construction Engineering Group.
The old mother shook her head and said, "Who knows? In short, the money I invested is gone. I just hope that when our old factory street is demolished in the future, we won't encounter this kind of thing again."
Tang Ping felt more and more that something was wrong with the matter. With such a low demolition compensation, people lost their houses and couldn't afford to buy new ones with the compensation money. Where would they live?
After thinking for a moment, Tang Ping called Gao Qiqiang and asked, "Old Gao, what's going on with the old street demolition? Did your construction group not bid?"
Gao Qiqiang said with a smile, "Hehe, we did want to bid, but they used Vice Mayor Zhao's connections to get the city's permits directly. It was a special case, and they completed the bidding process in just three days. Our construction group prepared a bunch of materials, but we didn't need them."
"Wanshi Group is such a big company? Who owns it?"
"Didn't I mention Tiger to you a while ago? He's from Jianggan District. I think he made his fortune through violent demolitions. He's been making a lot of money lately."
"Is your construction group just going to let this go?"
Tang Ping didn't believe that Chen Tai, that greedy old fox, and Gao Qiqiang would just let it go.
This old street is a commercial center, a huge piece of meat, who wouldn't want to take a bite?
"What else can we do? The Wanshi Group has already won the bid, there's nothing we can do about it. What's wrong, Ping? Why are you suddenly concerned about this?" Gao Qiqiang asked.
Tang Ping said, "I don't care about myself, the key is that my mother has a house in the old street. According to the way Wanshi Group is doing things, the demolition compensation is only tens of thousands of yuan. Isn't this a complete loss? Is your construction group really just going to let it go like this?"
"What else can we do? They have connections in the city, their backing is really strong," Gao Qiqiang said evasively.
Clearly, he wasn't telling the truth.
Tang Ping got angry too and said, "Fine, if that's your attitude, then I'm going to enter the real estate industry. Let's make it clear beforehand, don't blame me. I'm planning to invest ten million first, just to practice on the old street."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Gao Qiqiang was silent for a moment before asking, "Aping, are you serious?"
Tang Ping sneered, "What else can I do? I've always been one to profit and never suffer a loss. How could I let a Tiger Lord take advantage of me?"
"Hehe, Ping, wait a bit, let me ask Uncle Tai for his opinion."
"Okay, I'll wait. Anyway, my soap factory business has been booming lately. When people have a lot of money, they want to invest in other industries. I'm very optimistic about the prospects of real estate."
Tang Ping lazily hung up the phone, waiting for Gao Qiqiang's reply.
He could tell from Gao Qiqiang's attitude that the construction group wouldn't sit idly by and watch outsiders snatch away this lucrative piece of land in the old street.
They must be planning something big. If Tang Ping enters the scene now, it will disrupt their plans.
On the other side, after Gao Qiqiang finished talking with Tang Ping, he immediately found Chen Tai and said, "Uncle Tai, I don't think Tang Ping is joking. His soap factory is indeed doing very well lately. Trucks are blocking the factory gate to grab goods. He's made a lot of money."
"His family owns a house in the old town? Hmph, I think that's just an excuse. Nine times out of ten, this kid has been wanting to get into the real estate market for a long time."
Chen Tai frowned and pondered for a while before making a decision: "We can't give him that chance. Wanshi Group has been causing trouble for so long; it's time for us to unleash our big move."
"What about the connections in the city?" Gao Qiqiang asked.
"Hmph, Zhao Lidong is incredibly greedy, an insatiable ingrate. He's complaining that we didn't get enough for that municipal project last time. So, he's using the old street to give us a warning."
Chen Tai snorted coldly.
