Senior sister, please stop crying. I am really not a scumbag.

Chapter 71 'Heshan Youth Town'

He spent the whole day on Saturday with Wei Zijin. It was not until after dinner that Li Xing arrived late and drove to pick up Yang Hao.

Li Xing was in a really good mood today. He said that he first went to the KTV with Lin Xiaoxiao to sing, then went shopping and ate snacks, and also went to the lake to check in and take photos. He really had a great time.

Arriving at the north gate of the University of Finance and Economics, Yang Hao took over the car and planned to go to his ninth brother's house to get his clothes and pants back. His own clothes didn't matter and he could get them next time, but Song Qinwei's clothes were there.

I drove hurriedly to Donghu Garden and arrived at the door of Brother Jiu's villa. I saw that the house was dimly lit and full of people, and it was quite lively.

And there are many cars parked.

Could it be that Brother Jiu held a party at home?
Yang Hao touched his nose and thought, will it disturb Brother Nine? After thinking it over, Yang Hao decided to go and take a look. There were two big men standing at the door. When they saw Yang Hao, they respectfully called him Brother Hao.

"Is Brother Nine here?"

“Yes, um…” The big man hesitated. The two looked at each other, and one of them looked apologetic. “Brother Hao, Brother Jiu is in a meeting inside…”

Yang Hao suddenly realized, so he nodded, "Then I'll come again next time."

With that said, he turned around and left.

At this time, perhaps someone in the house heard someone outside, and a man came out and saw that it was Yang Hao. He immediately shouted: "Haozi, you are not a stranger, come in, what are you doing?"

He is Ninth Brother's confidant. Ninth Brother calls him "Laosan". His name is Gao Sancheng, and everyone here in Nanmen Bridge calls him Third Brother.

"Third brother." Yang Hao called respectfully.

Gao Sancheng waved his hand, and Yang Hao walked over silently and followed him into the villa.

There were more than a dozen people gathered in the living room.

There are three or five men standing behind each big brother.

It was like a gathering of social bigwigs, with smoke filling the room. Brother Nine naturally sat at the head of the table, and there was a map of Xinzhou on the table, with a large area circled in red paint.

During this trip, I met a few acquaintances.

For example, the owner of Zijiang Yudu; the boss who "adds fuel to the fire". It seems that everyone here is a boss.

It is indeed true. Those present were all the backbone of the Yaozi Club in the early years. Currently, some of them run bars, some run internet cafes, some run hotels, and some sell used cars...

"Haozi, sit next to me." Brother Jiu waved his hand. Yang Hao walked over silently and sat next to Brother Jiu.

It's only eight o'clock in the evening, and the dormitory will close in two and a half hours.

I don’t know if I can make it back today.

At this time, Gao Sancheng walked to Jiuge's ear and lowered his voice and said, "Not here yet."

Brother Jiu nodded, put out his cigarette, and said with a puzzled smile: "It seems that my reputation is not good. So many people don't give me face. Hey, I want to help everyone make money with good intentions, why is it so difficult? Do we really have to wait until the birthday of the club before we can meet and have a drink?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Then, without further ado, Brother Jiu pointed to the circled area on the map and held a small meeting.

Yang Hao squinted his eyes because after taking a look at the map, this location was currently in Heshan District, a notorious slum with mostly urban villages. He remembered that it seemed that a few years later, it was contracted and taken over by a large company from the southeast region and developed into a well-known large community in Xinzhou, a community integrating accommodation, schools, and commercial areas. It was called the "Heshan Youth City" and could accommodate nearly 30 people. After the development and completion, the economy also radiated to the surrounding areas, driving the development of the overall economy of Xinzhou.

Brother Jiu said that he had heard about the province’s policies and plans regarding Xinzhou, and that some changes might be needed here in the future.

And this place happens to be the base camp of the Yaozi Society.

Many big brothers came from here in the past, because it was notoriously poor and there were many chemical factories there. Later, many shady things happened because of the shady factories. Later, because the urban planning of Xinzhou took environmental pollution into consideration, many chemical factories with hidden dangers of sewage and exhaust were suspended. Many factories were ordered to be strictly investigated and closed down. Now, more than ten years have passed, and it has become a large urban village. Because of its remote location and cheap rent, it is generally inhabited by migrant workers.

What Brother Jiu meant was to ask everyone for their opinions, and those who should contribute money should contribute, and they should come together to register a company and develop that place.

The boss of Zijiang Yudu said with a fake smile: "Brother Jiu, you really think highly of us. You are rich and powerful, and we are just doing some small business. We are not even qualified to participate in the bidding for such a large piece of land and such a large project."

"Yeah, Brother Jiu, I think we should just forget it. The cake is delicious, but you need a big appetite, otherwise we will be stuffed to death."

Half of the people expressed their opinions.

House prices have been rising every day in the past two years, and real estate is indeed profitable.

However, to develop such a large piece of land, it would cost at least 30 to 50 billion yuan. Even the Eagle Group in its heyday might not be able to afford it, let alone now?

Ninth Brother had a dark face and said solemnly, "Of course my personal power is limited. I know how much money you have and how much money you have earned. But... the money you earn is all dirty money. Aren't you afraid when you use it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Brother Nine said, "It's not that I won't take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet. God will take it all. Who can escape the fate of the world? This is our only chance to get ashore. After we complete this deal, we can live a dignified life and become real businessmen. We won't have to worry about our heads hanging on our belts anymore. Are you really not tempted?"

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

Yang Hao suddenly realized, he finally understood.

As mentioned before, Brother Jiu is one of the staunch representatives of the whitewashing faction. He has been in the business for so many years and is tired. He knows that this is not an era of fighting and killing, and if he wants to make money, he still has to take the right path.

Yang Hao alone knew that Ninth Brother was actually running a horse farm in secret, which was a shameful thing.

And the bosses present here are probably also engaged in some gray industries in private.

As the laws become more and more perfect and online information becomes more and more developed, Brother Jiu feels uneasy. No matter how much money he makes, if he can't put it out in the open and can't withstand scrutiny, he might end up in jail one day.

How glorious was the Yaozi Society back then?
It's not like the monkeys scatter overnight.

As the saying goes, you can avoid the first day but not the fifteenth. You will have to pay for your actions.

A dark-faced man said calmly, "Brother Jiu, you are right, but Lao Jiang is also right. The cake is too big. We can't finish it and we will die of overeating."

Hundreds of billions...

It's not a small amount of money. Even if you sell them all, you still can't get that much money.

Brother Jiu had certainly considered this question, so he said solemnly, "I've done the math. If we take out all the working capital from all the legal businesses in Nanmen Bridge and Xinnan Village, plus those shady industries, we'll have at least 30 billion. In addition, Master Jin and Master Zhao will also set up companies overseas to finance us, so we can get 40 billion."

"If we mortgage all the properties in Nanmen Bridge and Xinnan Village, we will also have some money. At most, it will be enough to raise more than 10 billion, which is definitely the entry ticket to the bidding."

"We own 30 percent of the land in that area, so it's only right for us to cut a piece of the pie."

The Mr. Jin and Mr. Zhao mentioned by Brother Jiu were once one of the founding major shareholders of the Eagle Group. Back then, the two fled overseas with a large amount of money. In recent years, they have been engaged in alternative businesses and made a fortune.

Brother Jiu had contacted these two old seniors in advance. They both wanted to return to their hometown in their later years. They always missed home after staying outside for a long time and wanted to return to Xinzhou to retire. Therefore, they had a strong interest in this land and had the idea of ​​investing in it.

By then, everyone will be an investor and a shareholder of the company, and all they have to do is wait for the big scale to divide the money.

The money earned nowadays is all tainted with shady stuff and cannot stand scrutiny, so it cannot be spent openly. But if this youth city is developed, then all the money will be laundered and they will truly get out of trouble, without having to worry anymore.
