Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 317 Looks like a big loss

"You say!"

Seeing that Chen Huajiang was a little relieved, Bai Youqing nodded excitedly.

The words have been made plain, both sides have needs that the other needs.

"Twenty acres is not enough. I want 25 acres, and the price per acre is [-]."

"Okay, let's make a deal. I will help you build momentum and make a big show."

"If it doesn't work, we won't be able to make peace with each other, because you can buy land if you have money."

Chen Huajiang said proudly, reaching out and patting Bai Youqing's shoulder.

Without waiting for the other party to respond or giving the other party a chance to bargain, Chen Huajiang turned around and left.

Because he knew about this matter, Bai Youqing couldn't make up his mind at all. Such a big matter could only be made by the village chief of Baijia Village, the head of the Baijia family.

"Boss Chen, three days, give me three days."

"I will make your request clear to the clan leader, and I will give you an answer whether it is successful or not."

Sure enough, Bai Youqing's voice sounded loudly from behind.

Then Bai Youqing ran quickly towards Baijia Village, obviously wanting to inform the clan leader of Chen Huajiang's information.

It didn't take three days at all. The next day, Chen Huajiang received a notice from Bai Youqing that the head of the Bai family, Bai Baili, invited him to meet.

This time Chen Huajiang brought his subordinates, Gao Yun and the other two didn't say anything. Wang Lili finally sobered up and followed over wearing a small women's workplace suit.

Although he still looks a little decadent and lacks energy, at least he has an attitude towards doing things.

Apparently Wang Lili admitted defeat and was willing to take on the promise of working for Chen Huajiang for the next three years.

The two parties met at the Baijia Village Memorial Hall. The memorial hall is an old-fashioned wooden building that covers a large area and has large wooden pillars inside.

Several yellow incandescent lamps with wires were hung down along the scale. Even in broad daylight, they made the place look like the sunset.

More than 20 people have gathered in the sacrificial hall, all of them middle-aged and elderly people. Obviously these are the elders of Baijia Village and the people in power in Baijia Village.

The one at the top is Bai Wanli, an old man in his 70s with weak hair and gray hair.

He was wearing a Tang suit, with wrinkles on his face, but he was very energetic. He also held a cigarette pole in his hand, and while smoking, he glanced at Chen Huajiang and others who entered the Bai Family Shrine Hall.

"Is he the mainlander who wants to buy our land?"

"I think Bai Youqing was deceived by him. Mainland people are so poor. How could they have money to buy the land in our village?"

"You can't say that. Many wealthy bosses in Hong Kong come from the mainland."

Not only was Bai Wanli looking at Chen Huajiang and others, but the elders of the Bai family around him were also whispering to each other.

They looked at Chen Huajiang with curiosity and disdain.

"Why did Boss Chen buy the land in our village? I heard Youqing said that you were doing farmhouse entertainment. And you are also interested in Yuen Long?"

Bai Wanli blew his pipe, looked at Chen Huajiang and said.

His voice is hoarse, the kind of voice that is always thick and smoky. His voice is low and fuzzy, and you need to work hard to hear it clearly.

But it was obvious that Bai Wanli's prestige in Baijia Village was very high. As soon as he opened his mouth, the buzzing discussion around him suddenly stopped.

"Yes, I am interested in the land in the New Territories, but it is not the only option. The terrain in Yuen Long is better than yours."

"The difference is that it's cheaper here. If you buy land in Yuen Long, the price will be higher."

Chen Huajiang nodded directly and looked at Bai Wanli and said bluntly.

This made Bai Wanli frown, and the Bai family members around him looked unhappy.

Because Chen Huajiang's words are equivalent to saying that their land in the New Territories is not as good as the land in Yuen Long, and it is not as valuable as the land there.

Although this was correct at the moment, they couldn't accept it in their hearts, especially after offending the Li family's plan to develop the New Territories. This unacceptability became even deeper.

"It's really ridiculous. The land in Yuen Long is now more expensive than our land in the New Territories, but the development prospects there are definitely not as good as the New Territories."

"Yes, the land in Yuen Long is complicated. It is impossible to buy dozens of acres of land. Experts from the Li family have also analyzed that developing Yuen Long is much more difficult than the New Territories."

"The New Territories will develop soon. By then, the price of land here will definitely exceed that of Yuen Long. It can be said that you will make money when you buy it. Is this comparable to Yuen Long? Buying land in Yuen Long is not a good idea. There will still be losses.”

Everyone said one after another, looking at Chen Huajiang with disdain.

Bai Wanli did not stop them. It was precisely because of his indulgence with a slight nod just now that everyone spoke.

"Really? Who knows what will happen in the future? I also said that the earth will be destroyed in the future."

"People don't have front and back vision, so don't tell me anything about the Li family's great development, because you believe it, but I don't."

"The head of the Bai family called me over. Obviously he didn't dare to be 100% sure that the Li family would really invest heavily in the New Territories. Once the Li family doesn't invest, your efforts will naturally be in vain, so he invited me here to stimulate the Li family. So as to promote it. I don’t know what I’m talking about, right?”

Chen Huajiang glanced at everyone with disdain, then looked at Bai Wanli and said.

This was an obvious thing, Bai Wanli nodded slightly.

In Bai Wanli's heart, developing the New Territories is a big project. Although the Li family has the intention, there are still questions about how to develop it, how long it will take to develop it, and whether to devote all their efforts.

But the farmhouse that Chen Huajiang talked about was something that would bring immediate results. After all, the investment was small.

And the most important thing is that Chen Huajiang is willing to pay the current market price to buy the land, even if the other party does not engage in farmhouse entertainment in the end, their Bai family will not have any losses.

Developing it would be the icing on the cake, driving up the value of their Bai family's land. If they didn't develop it, they would still make money without losing anything.

But forty acres of land was too much. It was impossible for the Bai family to sell so much land to Chen Huajiang. Even in Bai Wanli's heart, twenty acres was too much.

"Boss Chen, since you understand the thoughts of our Bai family, you should know that we cannot sell so much land to you."

"The reason why we are willing to sell the land is because it will be developed after selling it to the Li family, which will increase the value of the remaining land on our hands."

"Do you think you can lead?"

Bai Wanli knocked on the back of the chair with his cigarette stick, looked at Chen Huajiang and said, with a bit of disdain in his expression at the end.

Obviously in his eyes, Chen Huajiang was taking advantage of their Bai family.

"I have an idea. Let's make a bet. If within ten years, the New Territories are developed and land prices rise, I will make up the difference by the amount."

"On the contrary, you don't need to pay me the price difference, but forty acres is not enough. You can't let me take all the risks alone. I want sixty acres."

Chen Huajiang followed their wishes. Since the Bai family was optimistic about the future development of the New Territories, Chen Huajiang followed their wishes and gambled.
