"Tang Ru is getting smarter and smarter. It seems that saying is problematic."
Ling Feng smiled faintly.
Tang Ru's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly as she gave Ling Feng a charmingly coquettish glance.
"What saying is problematic?"
"You're foolish for three years after giving birth," Ling Feng said casually.
This made Tang Ru's pretty face even redder. "You're the one who's foolish for three years! Hmph!"
She said this with her mouth, but her heart felt a little sweet.
Even if she was foolish for three years, as long as this man treated her and their child well, that would be enough.
Amidst the two's playful banter, Lin Siqi had also completely sobered up.
"Ling Feng, you want to buy up all the surrounding land, and then suppress the price of the factory in the middle?"
Ling Feng nodded in agreement. "Yes, regarding the acquisition of Hao Dazhuang's real estate company, I had Yang Fei look into it. Their plans were quite ambitious. That commercial street and the urban village were both their targets. With their strength, they could have easily acquired them, but problems arose in the middle."
"It's because Hao Dazhuang's factory is sandwiched in between, isn't it?"
Lin Siqi blinked her beautiful eyes.
"It's not just the factory, but also that gas station. The gas station is actually the most difficult one to deal with," Ling Feng said casually.
"Although that gas station isn't large, there's quite a bit of land behind it. Moreover, this family has been operating here for over sixty years. They likely have strong sentimental attachments to it, and their business is good due to its proximity to the ring road, making it very difficult to negotiate."
Lin Siqi exchanged a glance with Tang Ru.
"So, we need to go to the gas station first to negotiate with them?"
Tang Ru looked at Ling Feng and shook her head. "Are you so confident you can acquire the gas station? Do you plan to throw money at them? Such matters truly cannot be forced. Home is something that cannot be measured by money at all."
Ling Feng naturally understood these principles.
It was like those "nail households" that circulated online.
Many people were indeed asking for exorbitant prices for money, and that's how they became nail households.
But some people simply didn't want to move, their emotional attachment to that piece of land was priceless.
And these people were forcefully pushed into becoming nail households by developers, and in the end, they had to bear the scolding of others, which was very unfair to them.
Ling Feng was certainly not the type to engage in forced demolition.
He shook his head at Tang Ru and said, "Someone has already negotiated the matter. We just need to go over and sign the contract!"
"Ah? Negotiated?" Lin Siqi was surprised.
Tang Ru looked at Ling Feng with suspicion. "You didn't bully them with your power, did you?"
"Oh, is my elder brother the kind of person who bullies others with power? Second sister-in-law, I'm not saying you, but my elder brother is the embodiment of justice. He must have given them sufficiently tempting conditions for them to sell the gas station to my elder brother!"
Lin Shuainan, who was driving, suddenly spoke up. He unconditionally believed in Ling Feng's character.
Tang Ru's pretty face blushed, and she spat at Lin Shuainan, "Say less, no one thinks you're a mute!"
Lin Shuainan immediately covered his mouth.
This couldn't help but make the two of them laugh. However, they still hoped Ling Feng would answer their previous questions!
Ling Feng didn't let them remain in doubt for long.
"I've arranged for their gas station to be relocated to the side of the Fourth Ring Road, which is closer to their property. The price difference is three times. They've calculated this clearly, so they'll be willing to move. These are conditions that those developers couldn't offer!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ru and Lin Siqi finally nodded in relief.
These were indeed conditions that couldn't be refused.
Since they had a home on the Fourth Ring Road, they would naturally prefer their business to be closer to their doorstep!
The car quickly arrived at the gas station.
Within such a short period, someone was already hanging a banner on the gas station!
There seemed to be words welcoming Mr. Ling's visit.
Ling Feng couldn't help but frown slightly. This was too high-profile.
Of course, Ling Feng didn't mind such things, but such a commotion would attract the attention of Hao Dazhuang in the adjacent factory.
Therefore, Ling Feng quickly called for people to take down the banner.
This made Lin Siqi and Tang Ru laugh uncontrollably!
"Brother, this is so cool, why did you have them take it down? Anyway, we paid for it, and it's their kind gesture. If you don't like it, have them change it to my name!"
Lin Shuainan, however, was somewhat envious.
Ling Feng waved his hand, as if agreeing.
Seeing this, Lin Shuainan happily ran over to find the boss!
"Hey, hey, are you the gas station owner? Look, this banner doesn't cost much. Change it to my name, just write 'Welcome Big Boss, Handsome Guy Lin Shuainan'..."
Ling Feng then nodded to Lin Siqi. "Siqi, go and sign with their legal representative. After the contract is signed, we still need to go to the commercial street. It will probably take some time there!"
"Ah? I'll sign... My name can't be on it, right?"
Lin Siqi suddenly became nervous.
Tang Ru next to her pushed Lin Siqi. "Oh, don't be so coy when you've got the advantage. If I wanted to sign, Ling Feng wouldn't let me! Sigh, it's really favoritism!"
"Tang Ru, don't tease me." Lin Siqi was extremely shy, and her heart was naturally filled with sweetness.
Ling Feng shook his head at the two of them, then headed towards a street nearby. This street wasn't very long, only about three hundred meters in total, and further ahead was closer to the city center.
However, this street was already quite old.
It probably dated back to the 1930s or 1940s.
Many of the shop styles still retained the flavor of that era, truly possessing a certain charm. People with sentimentality would certainly be reluctant to tear it down.
However, Ling Feng could see that the various supporting facilities on this street were too poor.
There were messy electrical wires running everywhere, and several ditches on the road emitted strange odors. The road surface likely hadn't been repaired for a long time.
Many shops had residences on the second and third floors, with very old doors and windows. The signs and light boxes hanging up also had many unsafe factors.
Accidents must have occurred here because of these issues.
But perhaps the people here simply couldn't bear to spend money to change it.
The land here wasn't considered particularly good, even relative to the surrounding urban area, it was slightly marginalized.
And this street, which was probably quite prosperous in its time, later development plans did not head in this direction, thus hindering the development plans in this direction!
All of this could be changed with money.
Street Management Office.
Ling Feng walked in directly. "Someone named Yang has already contacted the person in charge here."
He stated his purpose directly upon entering.
A girl of eighteen at the door blushed slightly, looking very shy, and called inside, "Grandpa, the developers are here!"
An old man wearing glasses came out from inside. He was wearing a Tang suit and was somewhat overweight, panting after walking a few steps.
"I received the call. You're offering a lot of money, but I don't know if it's reliable!"
