We arrived at Mr. Zhang's shop.
Besides Liang Rong and the two bodyguards, there was also an unfamiliar old man.
Liang Rong said, "Ah An, originally, I said we didn't need to go through all that trouble. We could just exchange money for goods."
"This person was arranged by my family."
"We need to inspect the goods."
Wu An nodded, indicating his understanding.
Following similar steps to what Old Zhang did, the old man carefully inspected the goods, nodded, and then stood aside.
"It weighs a total of grams, it weighs a total of..."
Liang Rong made a phone call.
Not long after.
The money has arrived.
Having already paid for the two ships, Wu An's bank account was nearly empty, with only a few hundred thousand yuan left. It would take him ages just to count how much it was.
One million...
More than 22.43 million!
Ah Qing, Mei Wu, and Lao Fu each received 10%. Yes, he asked Liang Rong to say that he wasn't the only one who found the ambergris, and he transferred the money directly to the three of their accounts.
The money just arrived in my account.
Old Fu was the first to call.
Wu An answered the call and told him it was money from selling ambergris.
Aqing and Meiwu also joined the attack.
Wu An explained the situation.
Although the money each person receives is much more than the total value of selling white-lipped oyster pearls together, this money is something you can tell your family about. After all, it's like winning the lottery—a windfall.
Although you might be harassed and targeted by unscrupulous relatives, it won't cause any major trouble.
The white-lipped clam is different.
That was a golden hen that could lay eggs continuously.
Once people find out, the consequences will be dire.
At sea, people's hearts are unpredictable.
The ocean is dangerous, but people are even more dangerous.
On the phone, not only Aqing and Meiwu, but even Old Fu was laughing happily.
Wu An laughed along with him.
I made over 20 million today, I'm so happy!
Liang Rong told the old man and two bodyguards to leave with the ambergris first, and shook hands with Wu An: "I have to take the ambergris back as soon as possible, I can't stay here for too long."
"I remember you're a fisherman, right?"
"Next time I'll invite you to come play. You can take me out to sea, and I'll see if I'm lucky enough to find ambergris."
Wu An smiled and shook hands with him: "Then I'll wait for you to contact me."
Liang Rong said, "Goodbye."
"If you ever come to Jiangsu or Zhejiang, be sure to contact me."
Wu An and Elder Zhang escorted him to the door.
After Liang Rong left, Wu An asked in a low voice, "Old Zhang, don't laugh at me, but I've never seen so much money in my life. Can I just spend this money however I want?"
Old Zhang smiled and nodded, saying, "Although it didn't go through an auction house or any formal institutions, you can use this money with confidence. It's money from the Liang family, so it's absolutely clean and safe."
Wu An had some doubts. He thought that once he got the money, he would have to clean it up.
It seems he has overcomplicated things.
Or perhaps... the current environment is relatively relaxed, not as troublesome as it will be in the future, where even opening a bank account will take a lot of effort.
Wu An was still a little uneasy and planned to ask Gao Qiangqi when he got back.
He's in big business, so he must know all the ins and outs of this.
After having a cup of tea with Elder Zhang, Wu An and Gu Anran got up to say goodbye.
We drove back to the hotel.
It was still early, and I had planned to check out and go home.
As a result, they dawdled and by the time they left the hotel, it was already dark.
Gu Anran was still driving.
Gu Anran threw him off at the intersection.
When Wu An got home, he found his family in the living room with food laid out on the table, but no one had touched it. He greeted them, "Dad, sister-in-law, didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
Wu Yingwei asked, "Is the money safe?"
Wu An nodded.
Just as Wu Ping was about to speak, Mei Yueqin kicked him and sent him off to heat up the dishes.
Wu Ping just stood up.
Mei Yueqin pulled Wu An to sit down and asked, "I heard from Aunt Juan that A Qing received more than three million. How much did you receive?"
Wu An said, "More than 20 million."
Mei Yueqin exclaimed, "My God, this is incredibly valuable!"
Wu Yingwei glared and said, "The price of gold is only around three hundred, even if it's three times more expensive, it's not worth it. These rich people... tsk tsk..."
Wu An looked around and thought to himself, looking at this poor, dilapidated house with its bare walls, "Dad, sister-in-law, I won't take this money home."
“I have already acquired the land for Wu Laosan’s house on the other side of the old house, and construction on this villa is about to begin.”
"When the time comes, we'll demolish this house and build a three-story building instead."
He originally planned to acquire Wu Yingjin's homestead to build a large villa, but Wu Yingjin reacted strongly and refused to sell.
After waiting for a while, he asked someone to sound out Wu Yingjin's intentions, but Wu Yingjin still refused to sell, saying that he would rather die than sell.
There's no other way.
If we can't wait, we can't just sit around waiting.
He intends to use the villa for his wedding, and the sooner the better, so he can get married sooner.
It wasn't that he was in a rush to get married, but rather that he felt that given how often he and Gu Anran were together, they might accidentally have sex at any time.
He didn't want to rush into marriage before even having a new house.
So they asked the other neighbor and talked to them. It turned out that Wu Laosan was willing to help.
The homesteads in the village are worthless now; a plot of land over 300 square meters only costs 30,000 yuan.
Wu An thought the price was right, so he didn't argue and decisively bought it.
Although he thought that if he negotiated a little, the price could be lowered, he felt it was unnecessary.
It's not that he's showing off, but that his current stinginess and haggling will cause trouble later when the village develops and the land becomes more valuable. People might feel cheated and cause problems.
It's better to be generous now and let Wu Laosan feel like he's gotten a good deal. Even if the land becomes valuable in the future, he won't be able to say anything out of consideration for his reputation.
So after acquiring the land, he specifically asked Lao Jiang to spread the word.
Naturally, some people gossiped, saying that he'd gotten rich and was now arrogant, with money to burn...
Some people advised Wu An, while others said that Wu Laosan was unscrupulous and even cheated his own people.
Wu Laosan felt quite aggrieved and specifically told Lao Jiang at his convenience store that Wu An had approached him first. He had quoted a price that was a bit high, intending to leave room for bargaining, but Wu An refused to negotiate.
What could he do? He was helpless.
Wu An didn't care. What did it matter if people gossiped about him? What mattered was that the benefits came into his own hands.
The calculations involved were so obvious that even Lao Jiang didn't quite understand them, let alone outsiders. He thought Wu An was making a fuss over nothing. To put it bluntly, even if the village's homesteads were given away, no one would want them.
Wu An was too lazy to explain further.
He knew better than anyone how well the village could develop in the future. In his last life, he could only be an observer. Now, he not only wanted to participate, but also to lead its development.
After acquiring Wu Laosan's land, he began looking for a construction company.
Now he knows a few people in society and has some connections. With a little inquiry, he can easily find a suitable partner.
I received a quote from the construction company; the total cost after completion is 1.5 million.
He doesn't really understand it; there's a lot of depth involved in the materials, but he knows people who do.
Teacher Fan and Foreman Li both checked and found that there were no problems with the materials used in the construction.
That's quite conscientious.
Wu An was relieved.
In other people's eyes, building a house and buying property is a big deal, and requires a lot of effort in every aspect.
But when it came to him, he only needed to make a few phone calls, and he didn't have to worry about anything; someone naturally took care of everything for him.
You can avoid making mistakes or getting scammed.
