393: Chapter 393 Abandoned Land

At this moment, a soft chuckle came from beside Shen Yan.

"Hahaha, Auntie won't praise Daddy, so Daddy is angry!"

Shen Ya also laughed along.

"Youyou, look how childish your dad is. You must not be as childish as your father."

Youyou nodded vigorously: "I don't want to be as childish as Daddy!"

Shen Yan: "..."

Oh no, is he the lowest status in the entire household??

After dinner, Shen Yan received a call from Gu Mingming.

"President Shen, the family matters you asked me to handle, I can finish them in the next two days, but..."

Shen Yan said while looking at a work report: "Just say what you need to say."

Gu Mingming said to Shen Yan: "It's like this, our corporation's stock price has been [stagnant/dropping], I'm afraid if this continues, the projects of Gu Corporation will also be affected..."

Shen Yan smiled.

"No need to be so indirect. If I haven't guessed wrong, your corporation's projects have already been affected."

Gu Mingming was silent for a moment before replying: "That's right, all our projects have been affected by this turmoil. I must find a way to turn the tide."

"In the meeting today, you said you had a way to turn the tide. I want to ask what that method is?"

Shen Yan answered without even thinking: "Cooperate with us."

Gu Mingming thought he misheard and asked again.

"What?"

Shen Yan patiently replied: "Cooperate with us."

Gu Mingming looked completely bewildered.

"This... why is that?"

Shen Yan closed the documents in his hands.

"There is no 'why'. You don't want to cooperate with us?"

Gu Mingming quickly denied it.

"That's not what I meant. I just don't understand why cooperating with you will allow Gu Corporation to stop the losses in time."

Hearing this, Shen Yan let out a deep sigh.

"Are you going to make me explain everything to you bit by bit in the future? I am your partner, not your father."

Gu Mingming's old face flushed red.

"No... that's not what I meant."

Shen Yan rubbed his temples: "I need your technical assistance, and you need our company's cooperation to stabilize the situation. This is a win-win cooperation; you don't need to worry too much."

Gu Mingming coughed once.

"President Shen, I really didn't mean that. I just couldn't grasp it right away."

Shen Yan made a 'tsk' sound and asked: "So, have you grasped it now?"

Gu Mingming quickly stated that he understood now.

Then, he asked Shen Yan again: "Then when approximately will we sign the contract?"

Shen Yan started getting impatient.

"Didn't I already say it? Contact me after you handle the family matters."

Gu Mingming finally understood what Shen Yan meant.

"Okay, then once I finish dealing with internal matters, I will contact you to discuss cooperation."

"But... should we hold a press conference for the media?"

Shen Yan did consider holding a press conference, but he didn't want to do it right now.

"Let's wait a while longer. We'll hold the press conference after this wave of attention passes."

Gu Mingming still felt a bit anxious.

"How long do we have to wait? I'm afraid if this continues, many of our projects will fall through."

Shen Yan glanced at the calendar, picked up the red signature pen beside him, and circled one of the dates.

"One week later."

Gu Mingming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I understand."

He hung up the phone.

Just as Shen Yan was about to continue reading the documents, he heard the voice of the tycoon system ring in his mind.

["Ding! Special Mission Complete! You have obtained Confidential Wealth Intelligence. Do you choose to open it now?"]

In the semi-transparent electronic panel before him, a special mission named 'Help Gu Mingming become Chairman' had a checkmark next to it, and there was an unopened gift box beside it.

He didn't hesitate and chose to open it directly.

["Confidential Wealth Intelligence: The provincial capital is recently preparing to sell a piece of undeveloped abandoned land in Huzhou District. Purchasing it grants a welfare benefit of ten years tax exemption. Development options include resort, education base, etc., with a potential return rate of 200%."]

Ten years of tax exemption for abandoned land?!

Shen Yan was stunned.

The land appreciation tax is very high now.

But even so, every year a large number of wealthy businessmen buy land for development because they can earn back much more money after developing it.

If he could really buy that piece of abandoned land, combined with the benefit of ten years tax exemption, he could earn nine figures annually just by lying down!

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his excitement and opened his phone's search application to look up that piece of abandoned land in Huzhou District.

After searching, the excitement in his heart was instantly extinguished by half.

The search results showed that the abandoned land was previously land contracted by the government and a company.

That company caused a fatality halfway through the project, and the person in charge fled with the money because they couldn't clean up the mess.

Clearly, this piece of abandoned land was a desolate area developed halfway.

Undeveloped land is different from land developed halfway.

Undeveloped land can be used for anything, but land developed halfway can only continue construction.

But it didn't matter.

This land was originally intended to be developed into a resort. At worst, he would have people develop this land into a resort later.

Thinking this, he glanced at his current savings.

He had sold that heavily appreciating stock some time ago.

Now his liquid assets were close to ten figures.

He originally planned to buy a house and a car to convert these assets into fixed assets, but he was worried that the company might need emergency funds, so he kept the money in the Bank and didn't touch it.

It proved that planning ahead was the right thing to do.

Land is not like a house; you can't buy it for just a few million.

Although this land was abandoned land, and even though it was only halfway developed, no matter what, it would still cost over a billion.

Since the Confidential Wealth Intelligence did not specify the exact date of the land auction, Shen Yan called Chen Guangke.

"Beep... beep... beep..."

A few seconds later, Chen Guangke answered the call.

"Why are you calling me so late?"

Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan replied: "I want to buy a piece of land. Help me keep an eye out for any land sales recently."

Chen Guangke: "... Are you running a fever?"

Shen Yan made a 'tsk' sound: "Can you say something nicer? Stop cursing me at every turn!"

Chen Guangke urgently said: "Go to hell! Buying land isn't something you can just decide by moving your lips!"

"Don't you forget, our project has just entered the second cycle, and we are exactly when we need money!"

Shen Yan soothed: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just help me keep an eye on it."

Chen Guangke anxiously cursed: "You know nothing! I think you're only clamoring to buy land because you have no idea what you're doing!"
