Chapter 162: Chapter 161 Half a Friend

"Does the young master know President Jiang?"

Seeing so many names, Su Mu singled out Jiang Maohua, and Ah Fook wondered if their young master knew this tycoon of the construction industry.

Elder Su merely smiled. Hearing the name, he already had an idea.

Jiang Maohua, Jiang Xinxuan.

Adding Xiao Mu’s playful smile, Elder Su was a shrewd person, and naturally, he understood quite well.

"What’s President Jiang’s offer?"

Ignoring Ah Fook’s question, Su Mu posed his own.

Although business is business, Su Mu wasn’t a person who greatly valued money.

After all, Jiang Xinxuan was now his girlfriend.

Su Mu felt that as long as Jiang Maohua’s price wasn’t too outrageous, he was willing to give that face.

It was merely a matter of earning more or less.

To Su Mu, this wasn’t a big deal at all.

"President Jiang directly offered twenty billion. Among the callers, his price was the highest,"

Ah Fook told the truth. At that moment, Ah Fook had silently given Jiang Maohua a thumbs up, thinking that Jiang Maohua had great guts.

Unlike a few others who were also presidents, once the news got out, they were still wondering if they could negotiate the price further.

Ah Fook thought those few individuals wouldn’t achieve great things.

No matter what price the young master bought that piece of land at.

Times change.

When Su Mu bought the land, that area was equivalent to wasteland, so naturally, the price wouldn’t be too high.

Now, the situation is completely different.

The number five subway line has already been confirmed to be built in that area.

It will be another prosperous business district in Huadong City.

As the saying goes, every inch of land is worth its weight in gold; naturally, the land price is incomparable to before.

Now is not the time to think about bargaining the price, whether one can even buy it is another matter.

After all, the land Su Mu held was a central plot, which could be described as a crucial battleground.

"Not bad, that’s more than twice the price I paid for the land,"

Su Mu nodded, surprised that his girlfriend’s father was quite generous.

Su Mu thought Jiang Maohua was someone who could handle big projects.

"Ah Fook, sell this plot of land to President Jiang,"

The price was reasonable, and he was practically family now; Su Mu felt he had nothing to consider.

"Alright, young master, President Jiang is also waiting for your reply,"

Jiang Maohua had said on the phone that he needed Mr. Fook to contact him as soon as the Su Family’s young master made a decision.

Ah Fook had no doubts about Su Mu’s decision. He picked up his mobile phone, intending to dial back the number Jiang Maohua had called from.

Before Ah Fook could dial the number, another call came in.

Ah Fook recognized the number at a glance.

"Master, young master, it’s your son’s call."

It was Su Ruizhi’s number. Though it didn’t often appear on Ah Fook’s mobile, he had memorized it by heart.

"Dad? Could dad also be interested in that land?"

Su Mu looked at Elder Su. The question was directed as much at Elder Su as it was Su Mu’s musing to himself.

It made sense—Su Family Group was also involved in the construction industry, and they wouldn’t pass up such a good opportunity.

"Ruizhi, how did Xiao Mu time it so perfectly?"

"Last week Xiao Mu just bought that plot of land, and today there’s confirmed news already?"

Although Bai Xiuping was very puzzled, the pride that showed on her face was unstoppable.

Thinking of her son’s unique vision, Bai Xiuping felt proud.

Last night, some people had mentioned Su Mu’s land purchase in front of Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping.

At that time, everyone was quite pessimistic about the land Su Mu had bought, feeling that its location was too remote and there were no development plans for it.

In short, they all thought that even if Su Mu didn’t lose money on that land, it would be impossible to find a buyer for it in the short term.

In the presence of Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping, nobody wanted to say too much.

But, through their veiled words, Bai Xiuping knew that those people still felt that Xiao Mu’s decision to buy the land was very unwise.

As soon as the news about the No. 5 subway broke out, Su Ruizhi received quite a few phone calls.

Some wanted to buy the land from Su Mu’s hands, asking Su Ruizhi to pass on a message, indirectly inquiring whether the Su Family Group would make a move or something.

Others, not involved in the construction industry, might have felt their remarks from last night were too impulsive, calling now with a somewhat apologetic tone.

"Xiao Mu’s vision is indeed very unique; I noticed this when he was buying stocks."

"It’s also my fault for not taking it seriously. If I had listened to Xiao Mu last time and the Su Family Group had also stockpiled some land, we wouldn’t have to compete with a bunch of people for land now."

The moment the news came out, Su Ruizhi had given instructions to aggressively buy land near the No. 5 subway.

Based on the reports that came up, the Su Family Group’s achievements were also quite good.

Now, everyone was frantically spending a fortune on land, and the land prices in that region were rising one after another.

Because of the Su Family Group’s strength, they negotiated with full payments.

The effect was very obvious.

Calculating, Su Ruizhi figured that the Su Family Group had probably bought enough land for now.

However, the most important piece of land was still missing.

That was the piece of land that Xiao Mu had.

The land that Su Mu held was the central plot, and no matter who was involved, they definitely wanted to secure the most crucial part.

The Su Family Group was naturally no exception.

Fortunately, Su Mu was his own son, so Su Ruizhi was finally able to relax.

"I was against land hoarding last time too, Ruizhi. Do you think it’s because we are getting older that we’ve become more cautious in what we do?"

"At that time, all I was thinking about was the Su Family Group’s IPO, and I didn’t give much thought to Xiao Mu’s suggestions."

Bai Xiuping was also reflecting on herself.

Last time, she had voted against it too.

"Maybe sitting in our position, we can’t be as carefree as Xiao Mu, right? Look at the other companies; aren’t they the same?"

Su Ruizhi was comforting his wife.

In fact, Su Ruizhi was also very admiring of his own son’s unique vision.

"By the way, wife, I need to make a call to Xiao Mu."

"Now, everyone must be trying to contact Xiao Mu to buy that piece of land from him."

"If that kid thinks that the Su Family Group is not interested in participating and sells it to someone else, that would be bad."

Just when Su Ruizhi was about to comfort his wife some more, he suddenly remembered the key issue.

He immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed Su Mu’s number.

"He didn’t answer? Could it be that Xiao Mu hasn’t gotten up yet?"

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Su Ruizhi was puzzled.

He looked at the time; it should not be, right?

Normally, Xiao Mu wasn’t someone who liked to sleep in.

"You should call Ah Fook. At this time, Xiao Mu is definitely accompanying dad to practice Tai Chi."

"Right, right, how could I forget that."

Following Bai Xiuping’s reminder, Su Ruizhi called Ah Fook’s mobile phone.
