After resigning, Ye Chenming did not go up the mountain immediately. Instead, he studied with Ye Ren every day. Ye Ren was somewhat surprised by Ye Chenming's resignation, but after hearing his explanation, he sincerely appreciated it.
This grandson has always been clever, able to assess situations and see things clearly, and always appears when he is most needed.
Ye Ren wholeheartedly passed on all his skills to Ye Chenming, and Ye Chenming would always take his whole family to the mountain to visit Yan Xiaonan on the last weekend of every month.
One reason is to replenish Yan Xiaonan's supplies. There are countless supplies in Nannan's space, but a reason is needed to take them out. Another reason is to let Yan Xiaonan nourish Ye Ren's body, since her immortal energy can help Grandma Yan live to be a hundred years old.
Therefore, the weekends of each month are the happiest days for the Ye family. They would come up the mountain at the crack of dawn and return to the courtyard house just as dusk was falling.
Sometimes Yu Shu and Ye Chenming need to go to Shanghai to manage their business there, but the father and daughter will always make sure to return to Beijing before then, never forgetting the day when the whole family can reunite.
After Yu Shu celebrated her twentieth birthday, Chen Sheng called to say that a large area of houses that Yan Xiaonan had bought in the shantytown was going to be demolished, which was a huge benefit.
Yu Shu and the others couldn't wait until the end of the month, so the whole family went up the mountain to discuss the matter with Yan Xiaonan. Yan Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief; the Ye family's assets were about to expand again.
Yan Xiaonan had already drawn a map of the large supermarket in the space, clearly writing down its area and other details, and was just waiting for the demolition.
Yu Shu has a memory of space. When she saw this picture, she thought of her mother's space and her eyes lit up. She said, "Mom, do you want to take this land and build a large supermarket?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded. She told Yushu that when the demolition took place, she would make two requests: one was that the money be in place, and the other was that they had the right to auction the land first. In other words, at the same price, the Ye family could have priority in acquiring the land.
Ye Ren frowned and asked, "Nan Nan, the demolition site is a shantytown in Shanghai. Can you confirm that this land is for commercial use and not residential use?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded affirmatively and said, "Grandpa, I'm sure it's commercial land. In the future, the wasteland behind it will be used for residential land. If we still have money, we can also take it over and build high-rise buildings."
Ye Ren nodded. In any case, the land that has been auctioned off now only has usage rights. Building high-rise buildings is the most economical approach. Since Nan Nan said it's commercial land, let's develop it into a large supermarket.
Ye Chenming took Yu Shu and Ye Wen to Shanghai. When Chen Sheng came to pick them up at the airport, he happily recounted how his office was almost trampled to pieces by the demolition office.
Because Yan Xiaonan had too many resources, the demolition office directly sent a person in charge who could make the final decision. Ye Chenming was already very skilled at this kind of demolition, not to mention Chen Sheng and Chen Bo.
The two were like comedians, one playing the straight man and the other the funny man, explaining all the ins and outs of the demolition office so clearly that the person in charge of the demolition office was so angry that he didn't know how to continue the conversation.
You're an expert in negotiations with the demolition office, but they've already revealed all your cards. What do you have left to negotiate? In the end, you can only throw your notebook on the table and state your terms.
Ye Chenming and Yu Shu exchanged a glance and smiled. It should have been done a long time ago; they had wasted so much of everyone's time.
Ye Chenming explained his conditions and requirements. The person in charge of the demolition office sighed deeply. They only thought that the other party might ask for an exorbitant amount of money and a certain number of houses.
They were all mistaken. The other party already knew the purpose of the land, so they directly requested to participate in the land auction. Compared to other competitors, their advantage was too great.
If we don't agree to their demands, they won't sign the demolition approval document, and without their signature, the land simply cannot be demolished.
If their demands are met, they can use the huge compensation money to bid for the land. Imagine which developer would be more competitive than them.
"I need to go back and report to my superiors. I'll come to talk to you tomorrow, or some other day, I don't know exactly," the person in charge said hesitantly.
Ye Chenming smiled and nodded. "We will wait for you for twenty days. After twenty days, we will return to the capital. As for when we will come again, we will have to wait until we have time."
The person in charge swallowed hard. He suddenly realized that this job was not something just anyone could do. Look at Chen Sheng, look at Chen Bo, didn't they both escape from prison? Maybe...
During the waiting period, Ye Chenming and his team did not waste any time. They spent a week traveling to every corner of Shanghai and analyzing future trends in the clothing industry.
Yu Shu decided to send several designers to Milan and other places for further studies, so that they could learn from the best of others and upgrade their own clothing company to the next level.
Ye Chenming was very supportive. He believed that just like people, businesses need to constantly explore and learn in order to grow stronger. The designers, knowing they might be selected to study abroad, worked even harder.
Two weeks later, the head of the demolition office brought good news: they agreed to the Ye family's two requests. Since they didn't need the house, they would not only receive the full compensation but also a huge bonus.
When Yan Aidang learned that Yan Xiaonan was planning to trade businesses in Shanghai again, he was so excited that he came to the Eight Courtyard House that very day and asked Ye Chenming to take him upstairs to talk to Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Aidang was not a direct relative of Yan Xiaonan, so he needed to apply to go up the mountain. However, the application process was too slow, and Yan Aidang couldn't wait any longer, so he had to ask Ye Chenming to help him get up there.
In fact, Yan Xiaonan was also waiting for Yan Aidang to contact her. This large supermarket represented a qualitative leap in both design and construction, and she was worried that Yan Aidang wouldn't be able to handle it.
Yan Aidang stared blankly at the 3D blueprint in his hand. A circular building with all the exterior walls made of glass—this seemed to be beyond his comprehension.
Yan Xiaonan smiled and handed over a note, saying, "Once I get the land, go to France and find this person. Have him design for you and become your company's consultant."
Yan Aidang was terrified; he didn't understand French.
Ye Chenming coughed and said, "He's of Chinese descent and speaks Chinese, but you might be in for a lot of trouble this time. His asking price is exceptionally high."
Yan Aidang was bitter; he had miscalculated, and the other party had come to him of their own accord. Who could he turn to for justice?
