Chapter 53 Plan When I learned that Yu Xiao had the idea of buying a house. Chen Tingfeng immediately said he could help: "Mr. Yu, you have a unique vision. Xiguan Mansion is the most respectable mansion in the provincial capital, but Xiguan is quite large and has many streets and alleys. The areas available for different budgets will vary greatly." Yu Xiao: "There is no limit to the budget. I just want the best house. It would be even better if I could take the neighboring houses into my bag!" expensive? His dictionary. Can't find this word! I plan to buy three, five or eight buildings directly. This makes living more convenient while also increasing safety. The extra houses can also be used to accommodate confidants and subordinates, laying a better foundation for future development in the provincial capital! Chen Tingfeng was confused. This is the first time I see someone buying a house this way.
What’s the difference between this and buying vegetables at the market? That is a Xiguan mansion that symbolizes status and nobility! Chen Tingfeng said quickly: "I will do my best to find out. If I find a suitable house, I will inform you as soon as possible..." Yu Xiao said: "This is too inefficient. I have a better way." A better way? What is the method? The people who lived in the big houses in Xiguan were either from prominent families or wealthy businessmen. How could such houses be bought easily? The land in Xiguan was very expensive, and whether one could buy a good house required a bit of luck. Yu Xiao did not explain his method. "It's getting late." Yu Xiao saw that Ruqian and the maid both looked tired. Although touring the provincial capital is refreshing, it is ultimately a very physically demanding activity, especially for ordinary people who have no martial arts training. "Ruqian, do we have another appointment?" "Yes, we have made an appointment with the owner of Guangfu Old Wine, and we plan to go to the winery in the next two days to discuss the acquisition." Yu Xiao nodded: "Okay, since you have something to do, let's go to bed and rest early. Where is a good hotel nearby?" Chen Tingfeng immediately suggested: "There are many luxury hotels near the Long Causeway, and you can also enjoy the night view of the Pearl River." "Not bad!" The day trip ends. Let Yu Ruqian and others go and check in. Yu Xiao drank a cup of coffee by the river. The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the river surface, and the cool breeze blows, making the waves sparkle. Flower boats passed by, with bright lights and melodious music, singing girls dancing gracefully, and graceful Cantonese opera songs coming from the air. The shops along the river also lit up with neon lights of various colors. The coffee shops were filled with people in suits and ties, and a foreigner in a tuxedo was playing the piano. When the piano and Cantonese opera echo each other.
There is a trance-like feeling as if time is dislocated. This ancient city, standing at the crossroads of history, truly embodies contradictions and integration everywhere, with Western popular elements and Eastern traditional culture visible everywhere. Yu Xiao took out a 10-yuan silver note and handed it to the other party: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. It's all my hard work fee." 10 yuan! Chen Tingfeng's breathing was rapid. This is his three months salary! "Mr. Yu... How can I feel comfortable with this..." "It's okay. I'll be bothering reporter Chen again in the next few days." Yu Xiao's tone was calm but there was a strength in it that could not be refused. Chen Tingfeng no longer refused, and he really needed money now. "Mr. Yu, if you need anything, I will definitely help you!" Yu Xiao nodded with satisfaction. Money can make the world go round. Sometimes spending a little more money can bring a lot of convenience. "What Mr. Yu saw today is the most prosperous places in Xiguan and Nanguan. However, beneath the prosperous and beautiful appearance, the provincial capital also has many hideous and bloody sides." Chen Tingfeng solemnly reminded: "Please be careful, sir." Yangcheng. Visits from all nations. Business is booming. A true pearl of the South. But if you only see the prosperous and beautiful appearance, but fail to see the numerous corpses underneath, it would be too superficial. In this city, 80 to 90 percent of the population are still trapped by life, poverty and opium are rampant in every corner, and millions of ordinary people are racking their brains and doing their best to survive. Chen Tingfeng hesitated slightly and lowered his voice and said, "Especially the three gangs and four clans, large foreign companies, Western aristocrats, and some corrupt officials..." interesting. This basic information. Yu Xiao had already investigated it in advance. But the fact that Chen Tingfeng could say these things to him showed that he was not a completely money-grubbing and profit-seeking person. Instead, it made Yu Xiao look at him with a higher opinion of him. …… the next day. Yu Xiao, along with Yu Ruqian, Chen Tingfeng, and two bodyguards, Tang Yang and Wang Zhong, rode in a carriage to Dongguan. Although cars are now a means of transportation, they are inconvenient to purchase and maintain and are not convenient in most road conditions, so their display value is higher than their practical value, and people still rely on horse-drawn carriages to travel to distant places. Yu Xiao sat in the car with nothing to do.
He then asked, "Reporter Chen, have you heard of this Cantonese old wine?" Chen Tingfeng said quickly: "Of course, Guangfu old wine has a long history, which can be traced back to the previous dynasty, more than 300 years ago. It is one of the oldest wineries in Guangyue Province with the most historical heritage." "Guangfu wine was all the rage and is a taste that many older generations of Guangzhou people remember." "However, it is a pity that due to various problems in recent years, the business situation of Guangfu Laojiu has been deteriorating day by day, and it is said to be on the verge of bankruptcy." Yu Xiao had contacted the winery years ago. The purpose of this trip was to acquire this winery. Yu Xiao brewed Lingmi yellow wine in Meixian County and then acquired several wineries in succession. Now all links are connected, and the acquisition of Cantonese old wine is the last link. Although Guangfu Laojiu is on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, it still has a very high reputation, and both the brand and sales channels are ready. Just buy this winery. Yu Xiao will use the influence of Cantonese old wine to launch a Lingjiu brand, hype Lingjiu into a unique high-end luxury brand, and in turn boost the stagnant Cantonese old wine. At this moment, all the winemaking workshops under his name are working overtime. As soon as the Cantonese Winery is acquired, several new products can be launched immediately, thus quickly occupying the provincial capital market. Is this business profitable? Yu Xiao didn't care at all. He just needs the identity of an industrialist, and also needs a way to enter the industry and control more social resources. The provincial capital is not as good as Meixian. Of course there are more resources and opportunities. But the forces are so intertwined and the waters are so deep. If Meixian is a small pond, then the provincial capital is a real big river or lake. Therefore, establishing a foothold here cannot be as simple and crude as in Meixian. Yu Xiao has two goals. The first goal: build your own power first! Yu Xiao planned to use the martial arts hall as an entry point and take control of the entire provincial capital's martial arts hall in the shortest possible time, thus forming a powerful force that was no less powerful than the three gangs and four clans. There are countless martial arts schools in the provincial capital. There are many nationally renowned first and second rank ancient martial arts masters! If they can really work together, it will be a powerful force that every party will be afraid of. Not only will it be enough for Yu Xiao to gain a foothold in the provincial capital, it will also be of great help to his martial arts training! As for the second goal: it is naturally to build an identity as an industrialist. He wanted to use this to enter the real upper class, control enough social resources, and enhance his reputation, so that it would be easier to achieve other goals. For example, using various channels to purchase and gather large quantities of spiritual herbs and medicines to help oneself better cultivate immortality. For example, Yu Xiao plans to control a foreign company and plan to expand into other countries and colonies around the world in advance, so that he can spread his business and influence around the world in the future and obtain the resources needed for cultivation from every corner of the world.
all above. It takes time and patience. Let’s buy some Cantonese aged wine first. Let’s become the “Yellow Wine King” first! (End of this chapter)
