Chapter 1120: Greedy Tang Jun

The road from Liushu Township to Yunquan County wasn’t far but it was difficult to navigate with many twists being mountainous.

So by the time they returned to Yunquan County it was already six in the evening.

The timing was just right as they got off the car and had dinner.

The dinner was Western cuisine with Xu Shaochen sitting alone at the head, and Yuxiu, Ye Ling, Liu Ruxu, and Liu Ruxue sitting separately on the sides.

As the saying goes beauty can be a feast.

Just as he started eating Xu Shaochen already felt full.

“Owner the land behind the school was tracked down its owner is Tang Jun a furniture factory owner in Yunzhou City with a big business.”

Long Yi answered a call walked to Xu Shaochen and bent down reporting softly.

“Contact him and buy that land.”

Xu Shaochen said while cutting his steak without lifting his head.

To him it was just a trivial matter, just a furniture factory owner not needing him to personally act.

“Yes, Owner.”

Long Yi nodded then turned and left.

………

Tang Jun had just met with Li Daoyu.

“Mr. Tang this is Mr. Li who wants to buy your land.”

The middle-aged man with a side part pointed to Li Daoyu in the main seat introducing him to Tang Jun.

Tang Jun’s face was filled with a smile as he extended his hand warmly to Li Daoyu. “Mr. Li it’s a pleasure to meet you indeed you are a young talent making people feel inferior.”

Li Daoyu lightly shook hands with him then let go a flicker of disdain appeared in his eyes.

From the bottom of his heart he despised these nouveau riche country bumpkins.

But his good education made him conceal the disdain and mockery maintaining a gentlemanly smile.

“Mr. Tang you know my purpose. I sincerely want that land, name your price.”

Tang Jun had just sat down when Li Daoyu spoke bluntly not in the mood to eat with this guy.

Tang Jun was taken aback obviously not expecting Li Daoyu to be so direct he then laughed heartily. “Mr. Li is straightforward, good, I like it. Meeting is fate, two million consider it making friends with Mr. Li.”

As soon as he said that number Li Daoyu couldn’t help but frown.

Has this guy never seen money? The land is large but look at its location.

In this crappy place in Yunquan County is it worth two million? Before he could speak the middle-aged man with a side part commented,

“Mr. Tang two million seems a bit greedy.”

They had already set a mental bottom price of at most one hundred and twenty thousand, Tang Jun would have already profited.

According to their knowledge when Tang Jun bought it he spent only forty thousand.

It hadn’t been long, it was a piece of land in a poor rural area already tripling in price should have been generous enough.

Yet Tang Jun suddenly shouted two million like he was treating them as suckers.

They weren’t short on money but it didn’t mean they’d waste unnecessary funds.

After all they were building a factory to make money not to play philanthropists.

“Greedy? No no no.” Tang Jun shook his head looking at Li Daoyu pretending sincerity. “Mr. Li you know the current land price, my offer reflects a desire to be friends with Mr. Li.”

Even though he shouted two million he didn’t necessarily need two million, his price was one hundred and fifty thousand.

“Mr. Tang it seems you’re not about friendships but finding a sucker.”

Li Daoyu glanced at him with a smile feeling a chill inside.

Ungrateful fool trying to talk nicely and now treating me as an easy target I’m forced to use extreme measures?

“Mr. Li what are you saying? Business isn’t working but we can still have virtue. Is this any way to discuss business?”

Tang Jun wasn’t afraid, staring back in cloudless county he had never feared anyone.

He belonged to the older generation of businessmen started from humble beginnings in a backward county.

During the 80s and 90s, society wasn’t as developed as today business was not as safe.

Without being ruthless you couldn’t keep what was yours.

So this young Li’s veiled threats were not taken seriously.

In his eyes being blunt when he was roaming the business world Li Daoyu was still playing in the dirt.

“Ringing ringing ringing…”

Suddenly his phone rang.

He glanced at Li Daoyu then answered the phone. “Hello who’s this?”

“Is this Tang Jun? I know you’re in Yunquan County, meet me, I want the land behind Lotus Primary School.”

Long Yi’s voice was calm yet commanding.

This commanding tone annoyed Tang Jun but he sensed it was an opportunity.

His land suddenly became desirable with two interested buyers. Could he raise the price to maximize benefits? Thinking this his annoyance disappeared. “Alright tell me the place I’ll come. Ok good.”

After a while, he hung up looked at Li Daoyu chuckling lightly. “It seems Mr. Li disagrees with my price, so you may ponder while I meet the next buyer, farewell.”

As his words ended Tang Jun hummed a tune leaving the private room feeling the call came perfectly in time.

Seeing Tang Jun leave Li Daoyu’s face was terrifying like it might burst any moment.

“Mr. Li this guy must be raising the price deliberately just trying to fool us into this broken land who else would buy?”

The middle-aged man with a side part spoke to Li Daoyu.

“Slap!”

The backhanded slap landed on his face, Li Daoyu spoke every word clearly. “I don’t care if the call is real or not that land I want. Understood?”

“Mr. Li understood, understood.” The middle-aged man nodded like a pecking chicken. “If he’s unappreciative we won’t give him face.”

“Get it done quickly.”

Li Daoyu said icily leaving a few words then stood and left.

He wanted to be a proper businessman but there are always such people unappreciative.

His time was valuable not to be wasted.

So only extreme measures were left.

After Li Daoyu left the middle-aged man touched the handprint on his face spat blood on the ground and cursed. “Damn Tang Jun, the ungrateful dog made me get hit. I’ll remember.”

“A country bumpkin really thinking he’s something huh, bah!”
