In Gu Yurou's opinion, no one would invest in buying land here unless they were crazy. No one with a brain would invest here. She really couldn't understand why Dong Qing would wander around this place for three days in a row.
In Dong Qing's memories of his previous life, this city developed very rapidly. By the 1990s, the place where they were standing was a bustling metropolis. By the 21st century, land here was more expensive than gold. Not to mention this place, even 20 kilometers away would become a bustling urban area in the future.
Dong Qing said, "I said this place will definitely work. Let's buy a piece of land right next to this highway. The land price here is as cheap as radishes and cabbages right now."
Believe me, land here will be more valuable than gold in the future. Don't miss this golden opportunity to invest; you'll regret it if you do. We'll begin negotiations with the local authorities this afternoon regarding the land purchase.
Gu Yurou said, "If you had said these things when I first joined the company, I wouldn't have believed you. But after your crazy land-buying spree in Sucun, I trust your judgment."
Dong Qing said, "No matter what kind of investment it is, if you can see its potential, that's not a business opportunity, that's just throwing money away. If a hot commodity isn't priced high enough, nobody will sell it to you. Trust me, this investment is the right one."
Whether Gu Yurou believes Dong Qing's investment or not is not that important; she will simply obey.
Dong Qing never procrastinates. After communicating with relevant departments at all levels in the city and suburbs, he successfully purchased a plot of land for 5.8 million yuan and obtained a permanent land use certificate.
His actions were incomprehensible to many at the time. In their eyes, this man was crazy; what use was there in buying such a large piece of land in the rural suburbs?
Dong Qing didn't care about these rumors. He believed that the land he bought in the suburbs would soon become part of the city, which was the main reason he dared to take the gamble.
To be precise, he was gambling. If he won, his future would be limitless; if he lost, the consequences would be dire, given that it involved nearly six million yuan, all of which was borrowed money, not his own.
The road ahead is dark, and who knows how things will develop? It's normal for others to talk like this. If everyone could see how things would develop, all the land in the suburbs would have been sold long ago, and there wouldn't be any need for him to take advantage of this loophole.
It's normal that people don't understand his actions. In those days, anyone who could understand his actions was considered abnormal, and normal people couldn't understand them.
A person with courage will always do things that exceed others' imagination. Only when others cannot understand what he does can they demonstrate his extraordinary business acumen and mind. Isn't Dong Qing just such an extraordinary person?
Dong Qing then bought bricks and built a wall around the land. He didn't have the funds to develop it now, and besides, it was too far from the city to develop it now. He could only wait until he had the funds to develop the land, at which point it would probably be valuable.
He didn't let the land sit idle. He built two rooms at the gate. His cousin from his hometown was very capable and happened to be working in the city. He asked his cousin to quit his factory job and come here with his wife to help him manage the land. He would pay people to grow vegetables in the land, so that they could have a considerable income.
After finishing his business in Pengcheng, Dong Qing handed over the land to his cousin and his wife, leaving them some money. The next day, he withdrew the remaining 200,000 yuan from the bank and drove back to his hometown with Gu Yurou.
Back home, he acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't let his wife know about the loan he took out to buy land in Shenzhen, and besides, he didn't dare to let her know.
The money is just sitting idle now, so temporarily diverting it isn't a problem. By the end of the year, the funds from several factories will be pooled together. Although it won't make up for the funds that were used, it will be enough to get by in the short term.
The land in Pengcheng is just sitting there now. Even if we wanted to sell it, we wouldn't be able to sell it at a loss. We bought the land for 5.8 million yuan, and now we can't even sell it for 3 million yuan. Dong Qing understands this very well.
Third Sister Dong Sanmei finally set a wedding date: the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, less than a month away.
The villa already had furniture and appliances, but Dong Qing redecorated the wedding room for his third sister.
After the four companies recovered their funds at the end of the year, Dong Qing barely managed to make up for the 5.8 million yuan loan he had used. However, none of the companies will have working capital for the next year.
Dong Qing plans to sell another batch of pigs after the New Year to provide working capital for his several factories. His approach is to rob Peter to pay Paul, hoping to avoid continuous rain. However, if continuous rain occurs, all the factories will collapse.
In addition, the agricultural wholesale market also needs cash. It was only at this time that Dong Qing truly realized what financial difficulties meant. This year's situation was not as good as last year's.
Next year will be a time when the construction of the wholesale market will be very expensive. Even if the loan of 15 million is taken out, it will not be enough. No matter how anxious he is, he dares not tell his wife. He can only keep things to himself. He is going crazy from all this.
The annual Spring Festival is just around the corner, and various units are gradually opening for holidays. Dongqing and his wife came to the machinery factory's residential area in the evening, went upstairs to their home, and knocked on the door.
After Dongqing and his third sister moved out, they gave all the house keys to Fang Lin. For the past few months since the siblings moved out, she has been living here alone.
The door opened instantly, and Fang Lin said, "Oh, it's you. Please come in."
Dong Qing and his wife followed Fang Lin into the living room and sat down on the sofa. He asked, "Sister Fang Lin, you haven't been back to your hometown for two years. Are you going back this year?"
After listening, Fang Lin remained silent for a long time, then said with tears in her eyes, "To be honest, I miss my father very much, but I really don't want to go back to my home, and I especially don't want to see my heartless stepmother. I'm not going back; I really don't want to go back."
A father's love touches his children's hearts at all times, but when the family situation changes, despair can arise for that family.
This fatherly love could only remain a thought in her heart, but it couldn't generate the desire to go home. Most importantly, she didn't want to face her vicious stepmother.
Dong Qing and his wife could understand Fang Lin's feelings at this moment. After all, she grew up with her father in her hometown, and no one would believe that she didn't miss her father.
Li Yuzhu said, "Your family is really twisted. They almost cost you your life the year before last. If you really don't want to go back, then spend the New Year here. Don't forget you have a home in this city. Remember to come home for dinner during the Spring Festival!"
Fang Lin felt a warmth in her heart after hearing Li Yuzhu's words. If she hadn't met Dong Qing and his wife, even if she hadn't died the year before last, she didn't know how far her life would have fallen. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were her second parents.
With tears in her eyes, Fang Lin said, "My sister is right. I have a home in this city, and your home is my family home."
For an ordinary woman, her maternal home is such a simple thing. It is the harbor where her daughter was born and grew up, and no matter how far she goes, she will always have relatives she cares about.
However, Dongqing and his wife are not related to her by blood. But there is always an inseparable affection in her heart. This affection has nothing to do with blood ties. It all comes from gratitude. This affection is no less than that of blood-related siblings.
