"Just make arrangements directly; we don't have high requirements."
"Yes, you can make the arrangements together."
Neither Zhang Yan nor Gouzi had any requests to make.
"Okay, then we'll see how it goes ourselves."
Yu Jiu nodded and made the arrangements for them herself.
For a long time afterward, Yu Jiu and Xu Zi would focus on the real estate industry. Zhang Yan and Gouzi, on the other hand, would focus on expanding their shops and opening chain stores. Once they had saved enough capital, they would also start to enter the hotel industry. However, the capital required for real estate was simply too large, and they dared not get involved.
Moreover, the hotel industry is doing well, so after careful consideration, Gouzi and Zhang Yan decided to try opening a five-star hotel.
The two acquired a plot of land in the city center, intending to demolish the old houses and rebuild a hotel. Unexpectedly, they had the same idea as the people next door, who also wanted to build a hotel.
Having two hotels so close together will inevitably affect business.
The dog was just about to discuss with someone how to handle the situation, hoping that neither of them would build hotels in the area, otherwise both would lose money. But before he could even talk to anyone, the other party came knocking on his door, behaving arrogantly and speaking domineeringly.
"We want to build a hotel here, but you're not allowed to. If you want to build a hotel, go somewhere else. This is our territory!"
He wasn't asking you to discuss it; he was forcefully demanding that Gouzi and Zhang Yan give up. Gouzi, barely suppressing his displeasure, asked him.
"If you want us to move out, how will the compensation be calculated? After all, we've already bought the land and demolished the houses."
If he's the one asking the other party to move out, there will definitely be some compensation. For example, monetary compensation, such as taking over the land and then giving them additional financial compensation.
These are all negotiable, but giving up this place and spending time and effort to buy land elsewhere to build a hotel will also take a lot of work, so financial subsidies are inevitable.
"Huh? Compensation? What are you thinking? How could I possibly give you any compensation? Who do you think you are? We bought this place first. We're going to build a hotel here. You're not allowed to work here. Get out of here right now and don't start any construction, or don't blame me for not warning you!"
The newcomer was arrogant and domineering, showing disdain and making threats, which angered the dog and ignited its temper.
"What if I refuse to leave? What if I insist on building this hotel? What are you going to do to me? This is the land I bought. Why can't I build a hotel here? I can build whatever I want. If you want me to move out, this attitude won't do!"
"Heh, you think you're so tough? Fine, if you're so capable, then go ahead and block it. We'll see how we deal with you then."
That guy was like a gangster; he made a bunch of threats, said his piece, and left. His swaggering manner only made Gouzi angrier. So he decided to stand up to the guy and build a hotel, then he'd rely on his own abilities to serve the guests.
So, you want to have a showdown? He's never lost a business showdown in all these years!
"Are they really going to build a hotel? He's already said that, aren't we going to offend them and make enemies for no reason? That's not worth it."
Zhang Yan asked worriedly, "And they're right next to us. If they wanted to cause any trouble, it would be incredibly convenient for them."
"It's alright. We've already offended them. We spent so much money to buy this land, we can't just leave it here and do nothing just to avoid them, can we? We've already inspected this area, and building a hotel is the most suitable option."
The dog refused to give up. He had finally found a place, and if he hadn't bought the land, he could have said he wouldn't bother with these people. But now that he had bought the land, how could it just sit there empty?
"this····"
Zhang Yan was still hesitant. Those people didn't look like easy to mess with, but she was also reluctant to give up this land. If she didn't build a hotel, what kind of business could she do here? None of them seemed worthwhile.
In the end, Zhang Yan compromised. The two of them found a construction team and prepared to build the hotel. When the construction team saw that Gouzi and Zhang Yan were still going to start construction, their faces immediately fell.
"These two won't listen to me, will they? Find a chance to kidnap them and teach them a lesson, then see if they dare to do it again!"
"Yes, boss!"
His underlings immediately nodded to indicate that they understood.
That day, they deliberately caused trouble at the place with their men, and then, taking advantage of the chaos, brazenly kidnapped Zhang Yan and Gouzi. The construction team was terrified and quickly called Zhang Yan and Gouzi's home, as they had their landline numbers.
Gou Dan answered the phone. Gou Dan was terrified and immediately went to find Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang.
"Uncle Xu! Aunt Yu! Something terrible has happened! My parents have been kidnapped! They say it was done by those people who also want to build a hotel next door! What should we do? Should we call the police?"
Dog Egg was completely at a loss and immediately sought the support of Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang.
"Don't call the police. The fact that they dared to take people away so openly means that calling the police is useless. Don't worry, I'll take some people to check on them. I'll get your parents back!"
Xu Zi suddenly stood up. Calling the police might anger them, which could cause Gouzi and Zhang Yan to suffer even more serious injuries.
"Yes, hurry up and take people to rescue them. Remember to bring plenty of people and don't get hurt. We'll be waiting for you at home."
Yu Jiu squeezed Xu Zi's strong arm and gave him some instructions.
Xu Zijiang has been around for so many years, yet he is still so physically strong. Doing business has not hindered his training at all, and his skills should not have deteriorated much. Yu Jiu is not worried about him.
Moreover, he recently gathered many of his retired comrades to the capital to organize and open a security company, specializing in providing bodyguard services and protection.
He also wanted to provide his brothers with a job so they could earn money, and this time he took his brothers to get revenge.
Xu Zijiang immediately gathered more than twenty people and brought weapons with him. According to the contractor, those people did not have guns and went east. Xu Zijiang then led his men to find them.
"Aunt Yu, will Uncle Xu and my parents be alright?"
Gou Dan was so anxious he couldn't sit still. He kept standing up and pacing back and forth, making Yu Jiu dizzy. Moreover, his grandparents were old and he was afraid they would be frightened and faint, so he didn't dare to tell them at all. Even Gou Dan didn't know that they were playing with An An and Yuan Yuan.
"It'll be alright, don't worry, let's wait a little longer."
In contrast, Yu Jiu was much calmer, gently comforting Gou Dan. Her composure probably stemmed from her trust in Xu Zijiang; in her mind, Xu Zijiang had always been omnipotent.
Meanwhile, Xu Zijiang had already led his men to the location, and these men made no attempt to hide. Xu Zijiang found the place relatively easily; it was an abandoned small factory.
When Xu Zi arrived, Gouzi and Zhang Yan were being forced to kneel on the ground, their faces and bodies beaten to varying degrees.
"If you want to negotiate with me, you'd better see if you're qualified. I'm only giving you two choices: either give me the land and get out, or today..."
He let out a strange laugh, which gave Gouzi and Zhang Yan goosebumps. The two of them were still very flustered.
