Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Fat Ma Wants to Start Mining
Lucy Clayton was transferred to another hospital, and this time he was truly shocked because he felt that Yusuf Zuck wasn’t done with him yet. If he hadn’t killed him, it was because he really had something important to deal with.Yusuf Zuck stayed in the hospital for about an hour before leaving. Before leaving, he also told Miles O’Brien to continue taking Xiao Liang home to rest, and to just close the clinic for now since it wasn’t open for business yet anyway.
Even though Jerome Hart was injured, he fell into the arms of love, as it was clear that Faye Webb had been touched by him and was still staying at Everest Zuck’s home, with Faye Webb personally taking care of him.
In the afternoon, Fleur Carson called and asked Yusuf Zuck if he wanted her to take out Lucy Clayton.
"No need, your current mission is just to keep an eye on him for a while," he said.
"Why not kill him?" Fleur Carson asked with uncertainty.
"This man, despite being very bad, has something about him that I respect. I haven’t yet decided whether to kill him or not!" Yusuf Zuck told Fleur Carson about the night Lucy Clayton survived five gunshots, as well as how he gouged out an eyeball and beheaded the fifth master himself.
After hearing this, Fleur Carson also thought that Lucy Clayton was indeed damned ruthless.
But such a ruthless character was also a major disaster. If he harbors any ill will, he might cause trouble in the future.
"I know what to do now," Fleur Carson nodded. Yusuf Zuck had the air of the underworld about him, and what Lucy Clayton had done had softened the heart of someone like Yusuf Zuck who had that underworld spirit.
Of course, Yusuf Zuck’s vigilance was still intact, which was why he wanted her to monitor Clayton for a while, and then he would decide whether to kill him or keep him.
On his way back to the hotel, Yusuf Zuck unexpectedly received a call from Mr. Ma of Jade Garden Real Estate.
It was known that Mr. Ma had been working on a real estate development project in Australia until recently. He was connected through Yusuf Zuck’s networking, so Mr. Ma hadn’t been around domestically.
"Mr. Ma, you’re back in the country?" Yusuf Zuck asked in surprise after picking up the call.
"Yeah, I came back this morning and was planning to invite you for dinner tonight," Mr. Ma seemed very happy on the phone, as the project in Australia was not small, and his assets must have doubled.
"I can’t tonight. If you want to eat, it has to be now. I have time at this moment, but come five o’clock in the evening, I’ll be busy!"
"Alright then, let’s do it now. You name the place, and I’ll head over," Mr. Ma didn’t hesitate, as his seeking out Yusuf Zuck wasn’t just for a simple meal.
"You know the New Century Hotel, right? Across the street from the hotel there’s a Mr. Li’s Beef Noodle, let’s meet there. I’ll wait for you!"
"Got it, you’re trying to save me money, haha," Mr. Ma laughed heartily and then hung up the call.
Yusuf Zuck parked the car outside Mr. Li’s Beef Noodle Shop and then went in to order two bowls of noodles and a few side dishes.
Mr. Ma took nearly an hour to arrive at the noodle shop because of the heavy traffic in the capital. By the time he got there, Yusuf Zuck had already finished off the two bowls he ordered.
"Two more bowls, please. Mr. Ma, you’ve lost weight!" Yusuf Zuck greeted Mr. Ma with a smile, inviting him to sit down and taking a good look at him. Mr. Ma used to be a fat person, and now he seemed to have lost about twenty pounds, although compared to a normal person, he was still heavy!
"The food abroad just isn’t right, I couldn’t get used to it," Mr. Ma shook his head repeatedly and, without any ceremony, picked up his chopsticks and began eating the side dishes.
"Hehe, how about business? How’s it going? How’s the construction of the houses?"
"No problem at all! Our folks build houses so fast. The main construction of the first phase is completed, and passed inspection. I’ve received the full payment for my project." Mr. Ma grinned, clearly having made a good profit.
"Haha, congratulations!" Yusuf Zuck chuckled and congratulated with a fist and palm salute.
"Hehe, it’s all thanks to my younger brother’s influence. To show my gratitude, instead of giving you money, we have a long future ahead of us. I’ve left a house for you in Australia, with a total area of over a thousand square meters. I came to see you today to discuss the house’s renovations. I’ve brought a few design blueprints with me for you to choose from. Pick one, and then I can notify them to start the renovation," Fat Ma said, taking out a pile of blueprints as he spoke.
"Fat Ma, there’s no need for that. I’m already very grateful for the house in Jade Garden, please put them away," Yusuf Zuck declined. Fat Ma was being too kind, and he felt a bit embarrassed to accept more.
"Don’t refuse, I’ve already left the house to you, you can’t not accept it. Besides, I’ve got one next to yours, we’ll be neighbors. Take a look at the blueprints first," Fat Ma insisted, spreading out the blueprints. The first to catch Yusuf’s eye was the aerial view of the villa’s main structure; the house was pure European architecture, like a castle. There were features like swimming pools, gardens, and lawns around – it was all very grand, beautiful, and imposing.
The second blueprint showed the internal layout of the villa, with four sides, a basement level, and three floors above ground, including an elevator that went from the basement to the third floor.
The last few were the final renderings of the house after decoration, very beautiful, with a warm feeling to them.
"The house is very beautiful," Yusuf couldn’t help falling for it after looking through them. The so-called "over a thousand square meters" included things like the lawn. The house was imposing, and the environment was good, so Yusuf was very tempted.
"Pick a design rendering," Fat Ma urged.
Yusuf shook his head, "No rush to pick. Here’s what we’ll do, Fat Ma. I’ll pay you the cost price, not a penny more. I can’t let you suffer a loss either!"
"Let’s not talk about that. Do you know how much I’ve made this time? Honestly, the foreigners’ money is damn easy to earn, so this house is just a trifle. Bro, I’ve made this much," Fat Ma said, holding up two fingers.
"Twenty million?" Yusuf was also shocked. Hadn’t been long, and he had made over two billion?
Fat Ma nodded, "That’s just the first phase. The total project will have three phases, and the second and third phases will be even bigger, so I’ll earn even more."
"So, without you, could I have made this much money? Just take it, refusing it would be like looking down on me, and we wouldn’t be able to have good times in the future," Fat Ma joked.
"Alright then, I’ll accept the generous land distribution. No more coyness," Yusuf casually pulled out a design rendering, "I’ll take this one!"
"That’s more like it, my little brother. But today’s talk about the house is a small matter; there’s another money-making deal I can’t handle on my own. I want to ask if you’re interested and, of course, if you have the funds!"
"What kind of deal? Didn’t the housing construction make you enough money?" Yusuf asked mockingly.
"Gold mine!"
"Gold mine!" Yusuf was startled upon hearing these words; Australia indeed was known for its abundant gold mines.
"What’s the situation? Tell me more," Yusuf urged calmly.
"It’s related to another Chinese family that immigrated there before the country’s founding last century. After the patriarch passed away, he left his wealth to his youngest son, who thereafter left it to his grandson. This grandson is about my age but lives like a playboy, owning his own planes, yachts, you know, the type who squanders his fortune. He’s nearly three hundred million US Dollars in debt now. Though his family has a gold mine, mining takes time, and his creditors are pushing him to the brink, so he wants to sell the gold mine to liquidate his assets, and I intend to take this mine off his hands," Fat Ma explained.
"Hold on, Fat Ma," Yusuf interrupted, "Before we discuss whether this is true or not, as foreigners, is it legal for us to mine gold in Australia? Can we sell the gold we extract? What if the government intervenes?"
"Would I bring it up without looking into it? Rest assured, Australian law permits foreign enterprise to develop mineral resources, and the paperwork isn’t too difficult, though taxes are high."
"Even so, we’ll make a fortune, because I’ve had someone survey the mine, and there might be more than just gold there, possibly other rare metals," Fat Ma continued.
"Little brother, do you have the money? Are you in or not?"
