These words seemed to strike a chord with everyone. Those who had been muttering "I don't know" fell silent, exchanging glances. Finally, one person spoke up.
"Old Xu, tell me what you're thinking and what you plan to do?"
"Oh, so you're finally going to listen to me?" Second Grandfather said sarcastically before revealing his entire plan: "We from several villages will pool our money to rent all these houses, with unified management, unified services, and unified prices. We'll split the rental fees equally, and the profits will also be split equally."
"This isn't fair. My Liu Family Fort has a total of 21 vacant houses, which is the most of all the villages. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
"I think it's a great idea; everyone contributes the money and the profits are split equally."
"Your village only has eleven vacant houses, you must think that's good."
That's not how it works.
Seeing that everyone was about to start arguing again, the second grandfather couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his large, fan-like hand on the tea table with a 'bang' and roared, "Can't you let me finish what I'm saying!"
"Speak, speak, Old Xu, hurry up and tell us! It's already autumn, why are you so angry!" The village chief of Liujiabao, who had started the dispute, quickly gave himself a way out.
After snorting, the second grandfather turned and went back into the house. When he came out, he had a rolled-up piece of paper in his hand. When he unfolded it, everyone realized that it was a map.
"This is Xujia Village. This is Majia Village. This is Liujiabao." After marking the location of each village on the map with a blue pen, the second grandfather switched to a red pen and drew a large red circle on the sea, saying, "This is the location of the seaside hot spring resort. Can you see anything?"
“I can see that,” the village chief of Liujiabao immediately replied. “Looking at the map, our village is about the same distance from the seaside hot spring resort that your nephew, Old Xu, developed!”
"Yes, that's right," Second Grandfather nodded, then moved the red pen to draw a small red circle in the center of all the villages, and said, "This location is the farmland over there in Yan Family Village, right?"
"right."
"Yes, that's it. We're going to apply to build a food court at this location. If we build three roads here, here, and here, we can connect all our villages."
The square can accommodate sixty food stalls on both sides. We'll set up a joint stall with a unified fee, and the stalls will compete for a spot. Tourists will rate the food based on taste, service, and other factors, and the results will be tallied quarterly. Stalls scoring below sixty points in both categories will be eliminated.
After the second grandfather finally finished speaking, the village chief of Liujiabao jumped out again and asked, "This is agricultural land. Can it be turned into a square?"
"I've already asked the town government leaders. As long as the procedures are complete and the development application is submitted according to regulations, there won't be any problem. Now, it's up to you what you think."
After saying that, the second grandfather picked up a black pen and drew a small red circle next to the red circle where the seaside hot spring resort was located. Then he put down the pen and said leisurely, "This is the mudflat land of our Xu Family Village. If you think we can't cooperate, our Xu Family Village will do it ourselves. Just don't be envious."
"We have thirteen villages. Each village only needs to contribute 100,000 to 200,000 yuan to get it done. You should think about the situation in Beitun Town. Our seaside hot springs are much rarer than their beaches. There will be so many tourists!"
Forty minutes later, the gate to my second grandfather's courtyard was pushed open, and twelve people walked out, all hurrying towards their respective villages. Each of them carried a rolled-up document—"Joint Development Plan for Qianhai Town Food Plaza."

"Mr. Xu, our Harvest Farm worked against the clock to acquire Victory Supermarket, not daring to waste a single moment. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon, when all the matters such as equity, shareholder changes, and business license adjustments were completed and everything was settled, that we finally breathed a sigh of relief."
This is all thanks to Mr. Xu's help. Look at this location, isn't it? This whole row of promotional booths changes weekly, and it's the heart of the entire supermarket. Almost every customer entering the supermarket passes through here before heading to other areas, so the exposure is enormous.
In addition, we plan to clear out a row of empty spaces on the small shelf next to the cashier to specifically display food products produced by Xu's Catering.
Many customers unconsciously browse the products on this shelf while waiting to check out, and 80% of them add items to their carts. It's a prime location, and it's a shelf space that the supermarket adjusts internally and isn't open to the public.
"Haha, thank you so much, Mr. Wei, for making such a great spot for Xu's Catering."
"You're welcome. Without your help, Mr. Xu, we wouldn't have been able to take over Shengli Supermarket so smoothly."
Just as the two were exchanging compliments, Xu An suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that several men in suits were staring straight at him from a distance. He subconsciously looked up at the only man among them wearing a suit jacket, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Xu An had never seen this person or the people around him before.
When President Wei noticed Xu An's unusual behavior, he turned his head and followed Xu An's gaze. When he saw the man in the suit jacket, his heart skipped a beat.
"Manager Wei, Boss Xu, I didn't expect to run into you two here!"
Before the two could speak, the man in the suit strode up to them, looked at Xu An with an extremely friendly gaze, and said to him with a face full of satisfaction:
