Chapter 383: Chapter 383

The next morning, Song Guanchao lay on the hotel bed and dialed the phone number of He Songming, an engineer for the high-speed rail project.

"Mr. He, how far has the survey progressed?"

Faced with this sudden call, He Songming was quite surprised.

"The survey has ended on the city side, and the next step is to go to Dujiang County."

"When will you go?"

"We’ll head over tonight."

"That soon? Mr. He, you’ve been working hard recently."

"Hard work it is. If it weren’t for certain issues, we would have initiated the project earlier."

After chatting for a few sentences over the phone, they hung up.

Song Guanchao kicked Lu Feng, who was playing with his phone beside him, "Madman, get Zhijun and the others ready. The high-speed rail project team is coming to Dujiang County tonight."

"Got it."

...

At noon.

Wu Qiangwei arrived in Dujiang County.

She came here today under the pretext of research.

Her real purpose, however, was to meet Tu Zhaorui.

With Fu Ying accompanying her, she went through the motions.

In the afternoon, she asked Fu Ying to contact Secretary Tu to arrange a dinner together.

After Fu Ying made the call, she said, "Secretary Wu, Secretary Tu has gone to the province."

Wu Qiangwei slightly furrowed her brow imperceptibly and asked, "When did he leave?"

"He left in the afternoon."

"Hmm."

A sense of anger began to simmer within Wu Qiangwei.

She had arrived at noon; he could not have been unaware.

Moreover, he definitely knew the purpose of her visit to Dujiang County.

Yet he chose to go to the province in the afternoon.

Clearly, he was intentionally avoiding her.

Wu Qiangwei was somewhat annoyed.

...

At 7 p.m.

Outside the bath center, at the barbecue stall, Li Zhijun and two others were eating and drinking with Brother Biao and his group.

The daily life of these hooligans was remarkably routine.

Sleep until naturally waking up in the day, which was always in the afternoon.

Then, they would eat, drink, sing, and fraternize with women.

At night, they would hit the clubs, occasionally get into fights, and then continue to eat and drink, letting the day pass by just like that.

As long as Young Master Tian had no tasks for them, their daily lives would just copy and paste, continuing in exactly the same way.

Halfway through the barbecue, Biaozi suddenly received a call from Lu Xiaotian.

All Biaozi did was keep saying "yes, yes, yes" on the phone.

After hanging up, Biaozi said, "Stop eating, let’s go, there’s work to do."

Looking at Li Zhijun and the other two he said, "You three better perform well."

Li Zhijun asked, "Brother Biao, where are we going?"

Brother Biao said, "Some fools are blind. Young Master Tian offered to buy their land, but they refuse to sell. We’re going to teach them a lesson."

Li Zhijun curiously said, "Is Young Master Tian buying land to build buildings? Real estate does seem profitable nowadays, Young Master Tian wants to make a big deal."

Brother Biao scoffed, "Build buildings my ass, how slow is that to make money? Young Master Tian wants to make a fortune from land acquisition!"

"Land acquisition?"

"In a while, our county is going to build a high-speed rail, Young Master Tian wants to buy up that land, and then turn around and make a fortune from the acquisition funds."

"What if they don’t sell?"

"Don’t sell? They have to sell even if they don’t want to!"

Ten minutes later, they drove to the industrial area.

Brother Biao gestured broadly, "See? Over there, and there, and that spot, all have been bought by our Young Master Tian and Mr. Li."

Then he pointed to a few areas, "Tonight, we’re mainly going to deal with these places."

Half an hour later.

They were in the factory, having a "pleasant" conversation with the owners of these factories.

Brother Biao suddenly received a call from Lu Xiaotian.

"Young Master Tian, what’s up?"

"Okay, okay, I got it."

After hanging up, Brother Biao waved his hand: "Alright, if you don’t want to sell, stay here. Whenever you’re ready to sell, that’s when you can leave."

After saying this, Brother Biao left two people to watch over the several bosses and left with the others.

Li Zhijun asked, "Brother Biao, what did Young Master Tian say?"

Brother Biao replied, "The high-speed rail project group has arrived in the county, and they’ll probably come to inspect tomorrow. You guys stay here tonight, and when the project group’s people come tomorrow, call me."

"Understood."

The next day.

At 9:30 in the morning, several cars arrived and stopped at this place. They walked along the road with their hands behind their backs, observing the situation around them.

Li Zhijun and his two companions had been waiting at the entrance early on and spotted these people immediately.

Li Zhijun immediately contacted Biaozi.

As soon as he learned that the project group’s people had arrived, Biaozi rushed over.

"Where are the people from the project group?"

"Over there," said Li Zhijun, pointing.

Biaozi walked towards them, with Li Zhijun following, and asked, "Brother Biao, what are we going to do with them?"

"Talk to the project group and ask how much we can get for the land compensation."

"Brother Biao, I think it’s best not to ask."

"Why?"

"Young Master Tian wants to make a fortune from the high-speed rail land acquisition, right?"

"Right."

"If he wants to make a fortune, I actually have a better idea."

Brother Biao looked at him: "What idea?"

Li Zhijun said, "My family has been through relocation before, and the most any other family ever got was no more than one and a half million, but guess how much we got, Brother Biao?"

"How much?"

"This much!" Li Zhijun raised five fingers.

"Five million?"

"Mhm."

"Holy crap, I didn’t expect you to be a rich second generation."

Biaozi asked, "Talk about it, how did you manage that?"

Li Zhijun said, "Actually, it’s not really a secret, just three words: ’nail household’!"

"Nail household?"

"Right!" Li Zhijun said, "No matter what the government says, my family just wouldn’t move. We demanded a proper compensation."

Biaozi was skeptical, "The government could pay that much money?"

Li Zhijun explained, "The money didn’t come from the government; it was the developer who paid up. Think about it, the developer wants to build houses. Every day’s delay costs tens of thousands in just interest. Plus, back then, ours was the last remaining house. They wanted to start construction sooner, so of course, they paid."

Biaozi, whose brain wasn’t particularly large, couldn’t analyze overly complex matters and simply felt that Li Zhijun’s suggestion made a lot of sense.

"You mean, let Young Master Tian be the nail household?"

"Exactly!" Li Zhijun said, "We go directly to the project group, lay it out clear for them, that if they want to build the high-speed rail here, they need to pay up the right amount of money. If the money isn’t enough, they shouldn’t even think about acquiring land from us!"

After thinking it over, Brother Biao said, "I’ll report this idea to Young Master Tian, give him a call."

He dialed Lu Xiaotian’s number and discussed the idea with Young Master Tian.

Of course, on the phone, he claimed it was his own idea.

"Good going, Biaozi. I didn’t realize your brain actually worked."

"Don’t rush to contact the project group. I’m on my way now. I’ll do the talking when I get there."

After hanging up, Li Zhijun asked, "Brother Biao, what did Young Master Tian say?"

Biaozi patted his shoulder, excitedly said, "Young Master Tian is very pleased. He’s coming here to talk in person. If this works out, you’ll definitely be rewarded."

"Then let me thank Brother Biao in advance."

The two turned and walked towards the factory. Li Zhijun excused himself to use the bathroom and separated from him. He pulled out his phone and called Lu Feng: "Brother Feng, it’s done. Lu Xiaotian is coming over soon."

"Alright, I know."

On the other end, Lu Feng hung up the phone and said, "Sergeant, it’s a done deal."
