Bai Dashao's sorrow

“How could I not have time when a big shot like you wants to patronize my business? As long as you have time, I’m available anytime.”

For second-generation heirs like Wang Cheng, earning money is also a serious matter; the family business belongs to the family, and besides, if they only spend money without earning, no matter how much family property they have, it won't last.

People like them, who have received quality education and been exposed to various ideologies, understand the principle of 'no progress means regression' even more.

If they don't actively explore new businesses and reform in a timely manner, they will only be eliminated by this era.

“Then let’s make it tomorrow. What good cars do you have there?”

“If you’re talking about good cars, I really have quite a few. I can get you Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Rolls-Royces.

Some cars are in stock, while others might require waiting for one or two months.”

Wang Cheng enthusiastically introduced his car dealership, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

“Dongzi, if your budget is sufficient, I do have a divine car I’d like to recommend to you.”

“My budget should be sufficient. Tell me, what car is it?”

Just kidding, even though Chen Dong is currently acquiring companies everywhere, the companies also generate a lot of revenue. He can rake in fifty to sixty million in rewards from the system every day. In this day and age, is there any car he can't buy with one day's worth of rewards? If there is, then two days!

Cars worth a small fortune are still quite rare, and Wang Cheng doesn't seem like the type of person who would deal in such vehicles.

“A bugatti veyron veyron. I happen to have one on hand.” Wang Cheng gave an awkward laugh.

“To be honest with everyone, I originally planned to drive this car myself, but now the economy is developing too quickly and requires a large amount of capital investment. I wouldn't dare drive this car, which costs nearly thirty million, for fear of being hammered by the old man.”

“No problem. I’ll go see it tomorrow. If I like it, I’ll buy it directly.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, including Wang Cheng, who was in a daze for three seconds. He had only mentioned it casually; after all, a luxury car costing nearly thirty million was no small sum.

Although Chen Dong had spent one billion to acquire Changjun International before, that was business. A car, however, is a pure consumable and luxury item.

For second-generation heirs like them, at Chen Dong’s age, their annual car expenses would at most be three to four million. To buy a luxury car worth tens of millions, they would absolutely not have the courage to bring it up with their families.

“Alright, Dongzi, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

“Rumble—” A violent sound came from outside. Everyone exchanged smiles.

“Young Master Bai is here. Let’s go out and greet him.”

Everyone rose and walked towards the outside of the lobby. A yellow Porsche 918 roared softly as it drove towards the garage, like a fierce beast, unsatisfied with being restricted.

In his previous life, Chen Dong would look at those second-generation heirs driving sports cars and cruising with girls on the street with extreme disdain, thinking they were showing off and those women were vain.

But after coming back and gaining control of a large amount of money and wealth, his thoughts changed.

The smooth curves, powerful engine, and roaring sound of the supercar made Chen Dong feel a surge of excitement.

How should I put it? It was like seeing a stunning beauty. No wonder everyone likes to compare luxury cars and beautiful women together.

The Porsche 918, a top-tier luxury car worth over ten million, had only two units in the entire Jinghai.

One was the yellow one driven by Bai Shaolong, and the other was the light blue one in Shen Xingyu's possession.

The car door opened, and a young man in white casual wear stepped out.

He was almost 1.8 meters tall, looked under thirty, slightly pale, with flowing hair, and white leather shoes paired with white trousers. As expected of someone from the Xiao Family, he really liked white.

Chen Dong even had the wicked thought, 'I wonder if the shorts he's wearing under his long pants are also white?'

Bai Shaolong obviously knew Xiao Han and the others already, and he looked at Chen Dong with a curious expression.

“Oh, new friend here?”

“Haha, Young Master Bai, this is Chen Dong, the young master who spent one billion to buy Changjun International from me a while ago.”

Xiao Han pointed at Chen Dong and introduced him to Bai Shaolong, then pointed at Bai Shaolong.

“Dongzi, this is the heavyweight guest I mentioned, Young Master Bai of the Xiao Family, Bai Shaolong.”

As long as it wasn't Shen Xingyu, Chen Dong smiled and greeted Bai Shaolong, neither humble nor arrogant.

With his current net worth and cash, he was definitely among the top tier in Jinghai. The only things he lacked were connections and time.

Right now, his strength might not seem to match Bai Shaolong's, but Chen Dong believed that in just one or two more years, let alone Bai Shaolong, even his father Bai Yichen would have to treat him with respect.

“Alright, everyone’s here. Let’s head to the backyard quickly. Without some incense, the mosquitoes are really bad.”

Wang Cheng patted himself and motioned for everyone to go towards the backyard.

Bai Shaolong sat in the main seat, Xiao Han pulled Chen Dong to sit next to Bai Shaolong, and then Wang Cheng, Jiang Hui, and Qiao Ran took their seats.

A male manager entered with about ten girls in revealing swimsuits, followed by several waiters carrying barbecue grills and ingredients, which they set up not far from where everyone was seated.

Charcoal and iron grills, with a faint scent of smoke wafting through the air.

Fortunately, they were by the sea, and the gentle sea breeze occasionally blew, making it relatively cool. Otherwise, eating barbecue in this weather would truly not be an enjoyable experience.

“Your place is really good. You can build houses, and there’s a beach nearby.”

Bai Shaolong looked around enviously, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Brother Shaolong, didn’t you acquire a piece of land by the sea in the south two years ago? I remember it cost over one billion at the time.

If that’s developed, it’ll definitely be much better than this place. We’ll go to your place to play then.”

Wang Cheng said with a smile. His family didn't have the financial strength to buy a piece of land for over a billion.

Besides acquiring the land, which part of the subsequent development and promotion doesn't cost money?

It would be fine if they could make a profit, but what if it failed? They would lose at least several hundred million, right? For a second-generation heir like Wang Cheng, if his family suddenly lost several hundred million, it could be a devastating blow.

Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Bai Shaolong's brows furrowed even more.

“That piece of land has some issues; it’s not easy to develop.” Bai Shaolong glanced at everyone and sighed.

“Anyway, I can’t hide it, and you’re not outsiders, so I’ll just be honest. That project might be a complete loss. The land was acquired for 1.5 billion, and the completed residential area there can’t even be sold now.”

“How could that be? Wasn’t that land surveyed at the time? Building a large five-star hotel there, clearing out the nearby wild trees, and creating a sunny beach would definitely guarantee a profit, wouldn’t it?”

Xiao Han was quite familiar with this matter. As the young master of the Xiao Family, their family had also participated in the bidding, but their psychological target was 1.1 billion. Who knew that the land ultimately sold for 1.5 billion and was acquired by Bai Shaolong.

“That’s why I say they’re shady. The report only surveyed two meters underground, but below two meters, there’s quicksand. It’s impossible to build high-rise buildings in such a place.

You have to go back 2.5 kilometers to find a suitable place to build houses. I planned a sea-view community there. Now the community is built, with fifteen terraced villas, twenty-five residential buildings, plus leveling some nearby land, which cost me a total of three hundred million.

I definitely won’t sell at a loss. The reality is that even at six thousand per unit, the houses are hard to sell. I’m really worried about this.”
