62 Family Strife
“This… no problem!”
Lu Yan hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He would treat it as giving Old Master Luo face.
“Thank you, Uncle Lu.”
Luo Chen picked up his wine glass and the two of them chatted for a while before leaving.
Three days later.
Luo Chen gathered everyone in the conference room.
“I called everyone over today to confirm our strategic goal. I’ve already booked the central area of the Special Economic Zone in advance.”
Hearing the news from Luo Chen, everyone was overjoyed.
After all, the central area would always be the most profitable.
“President Luo, what are your plans next?”
A high-level executive asked.
“Our funds are abundant now. We have more than 10 billion. I plan to save 500 million and spend the rest on construction. First, we have to build a high-end zone in the center of the Special Economic Zone. Second, we have to build luxury shopping malls and hotels. The rest of the funds will be used to build commercial streets. We should not be afraid of spending money as we have to make everything the best!”
Luo Chen briefly explained the strategic goal.
The other high-level executives began to take notes after hearing this.
Zhao Ruoshuang asked, “Luo Chen, we need a reliable developer to realize these things. Have you decided on who to look for?”
“Of course. It’s your best friend, Shen Shuyi.”
As the saying goes, one should not allow benefits created by one’s own work to accrue to those outside of the family.
In addition, Shen Shuyi was also very serious about her work. Luo Chen felt more at ease leaving the project to her.
Zhao Ruoshuang nodded. “Alright, Shuyi is indeed very professional in engineering.”
“Yes, there’s nothing else. Everyone, go back and prepare for work.”
After giving his instructions, Luo Chen stood up and left.
Luo Chen returned to his office and called Shen Shuyi to tell her about the meeting.
“Really? Luo Chen, you’re the best!”
Shen Shuyi was very happy to hear that. She did not expect Luo Chen to give her such a good deal.
“Of course. When have I ever been bad to you?”
“Alright! I’ll start working on the blueprints now. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with the project!”
Shen Shuyi was really too excited. After saying a few more words, she hurriedly hung up.
After hanging up, Luo Chen suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
There were many things to do in the Special Economic Zone. He had to keep an eye on them personally to be at ease.
However, the investment company was also very important. He couldn’t split himself up to be in two places at the same time, right?
At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly remembered the five-star talent, Liang Qi, that the System had given him.
When the Special Economic Zone was completed, he could hand it over to Liang Qi!
At the thought of this, Luo Chen sent a message to Liang Qi, asking her to prepare to report to the company.
Previously, when there was no important occasion, Luo Chen had placed this trump card in the finance company.
This was to better protect her.
…
Second Uncle Luo Tianming’s house.
In a hall decorated in Chinese style.
“Dad, I’m telling the truth! Luo Chen has taken all the advantages!”
“Grandpa is just biased. He gave that piece of land to Luo Chen in advance!”
Luo Wen stood in front of the coffee table and said angrily.
He also found out about the acquisition and development of the western suburbs through his connections.
It was said that not only did Luo Chen get ten billion yuan, but he also got the development rights of the Special Economic Zone’s central area. It was really infuriating.
The head of the Luo family was selected based on his strength.
If Luo Chen took down the Special Economic Zone, how could they compete against him?
“B*stard! What did you say about your grandfather?”
Luo Tianming sat on the sofa and scolded.
“Your grandfather probably didn’t know about this before too. The redevelopment of the Special Economic Zone is a very confidential matter. This time, it’s all because of Luo Chen’s luck.”
Luo Wen was still unwilling to give up. “Then shouldn’t Grandpa redistribute the land now that he knows?”
“Shut up first. I’ll call your grandfather.”
Luo Tianming thought for a moment before taking out his phone and dialing a number.
Soon, the call went through.
“Tianming, are you looking for me about the Special Economic Zone?”
Before Luo Tianming could speak, Luo Zhenhua, who was on the other end of the phone, guessed the purpose of his call.
...
He had been overseeing the family for decades. What couldn’t he guess?
Luo Tianming nodded. “Dad, I feel that it’s a little unfair to let Luo Chen have the entire Special Economic Zone. Once Luo Chen builds an industry there, his future income will be immeasurable. When he runs for the family head position in the future, who will be able to compete with him?”
“I didn’t know that the land would be redeveloped too. Just tell me what you want to do.”
Luo Zhenhua was very direct.
“I want you to convince Luo Chen to give half of the development rights in his hands to our Luo Wen. The two juniors will then compete fair and square. Whoever does a good job will take over the central area of the Special Economic Zone. The loser will withdraw. Otherwise, if you give it all to Luo Chen, no one will be convinced even if he uses the Special Economic Zone to become the family head in the future.”
Although Luo Tianming looked loyal on the surface, he was actually very greedy on the inside.
“I never take back what I give out. How about this? I’ll give you the development rights on the east side of the Special Economic Zone. It’s also very profitable on the east side.”
“Then, I’ll give both of you three months. Whoever earns less will lose. If Luo Chen loses, I’ll ask him to give you the central area. But if you lose, not only will you have to give the eastern area to Luo Chen, but you’ll also have to give Luo Chen twenty percent of shares of your winery!”
Luo Zhenhua had no choice but to give such an answer.
However, he still sided with Luo Chen.
After all, Luo Tianming was most proud of his winery.
...
Twenty percent was more than enough for Luo Chen to earn around two hundred million yuan a year.
Luo Tianming nodded. “Alright! We’ll do as you say!”
He had always looked down on Luo Chen, thinking that he was an ignorant and incompetent piece of trash.
Although the investment company was doing a little well now, in Luo Tianming’s opinion, it was still just talk and luck.
In terms of actual business, with him planning behind his son, how could he not win?
After chatting for a while, he hung up.
Luo Zhenhua dialed Luo Chen’s number again.
“Hello, Grandpa, are you looking for me?”
At this moment, Luo Chen was planning the location of the future building of his office.
“Little Chen, there’s something I need to tell you…”
Luo Zhenhua repeated his conversation with Luo Tianming over the phone.
The reason why he said all this was so that Luo Chen could be mentally prepared.
Luo Chen nodded. “Okay, thank you, Grandpa.”
“Huh? What are you thanking me for?”
Luo Zhenhua was stunned. He thought that his little grandson would be angry after hearing the news.
“You’re helping me get the eastern region and shares of Second Uncle’s winery. Of course I have to thank you.”
In fact, Luo Chen had already known that this would happen.
From the original plot, he had already found out that his second uncle was extremely greedy.
How could he pretend not to see something like the Special Economic Zone?
However, Luo Chen did not care. This second uncle was much easier to deal with than the male leads.
Luo Zhenhua laughed happily on the phone. “Hahahaha, as expected of my grandson! Good, you’re ambitious! You must come and find me when you’re done. Grandpa misses you.”
“Yes, Grandpa. I’ll look for you when I’m free later…”
