By the way, let's talk about a big project

Instantly, the scene fell into silence, unsure how to respond to Bai Shaolong's words.

That area was previously wasteland; the surrounding facilities were nonexistent, and hospitals and schools were zero, making it impossible for property prices to be high.

About a dozen beautiful women were busy skewering meat, while several male waiters set up the area, preparing to start grilling.

Of course, if the young masters wanted to grill, they would participate; if not, someone would bring them the grilled meat.

"Then, Brother Bai, have you considered transferring this project?" Chen Dong picked a small piece of watermelon from the fruit platter and threw it into his mouth, looking at Bai Shaolong.

"Of course, but who would take it over!" He spent 1.5 billion on land for this project, 300 million on leveling the ground and building houses, and it also had to be built according to the plan given by Nation at the time, to the standard of tourism and sightseeing.

Even if he wanted to sell it, he certainly wouldn't be willing to lose too much; even with money at home, he couldn't just throw it away.

"If Brother Bai is willing, you can transfer and sell it to me, including all the houses you've built; I'll take over everything."

Chen Dong wore a calm smile, as if he wasn't discussing a project worth over 2 billion, but his heart was already beginning to stir with excitement.

Others didn't know, but he was very clear that although Bai Shaolong's project wasn't doing well now, it would be finalized in 2015, and at that time, the seaside amusement park, beach swimming, and food street would be incredibly popular.

If he could take over this project and invest another 300 to 500 million, based on his previous memories and combining his skills as an architectural master to plan it well, it would definitely explode in popularity.

The reason Bai Shaolong felt this project couldn't proceed was that he was still struggling with building a large hotel, but that piece of land could at most only accommodate three to four-story buildings; otherwise, special construction would be required, and the cost would be too high.

Chen Dong had played here before; most of the buildings were only one story, just with higher ceilings. Once the landscape trees were planted and the roads were built, business became exceptionally booming.

People would visit here all year round, with tourists from all over the country wanting to check in.

"Dongzi, how much are you willing to pay?" Bai Shaolong's voice also trembled slightly. He had advocated for taking on this project, and at the time, he encountered considerable resistance, with people thinking he spent too much on the land.

Now, if he could sell it at a small loss, he would accept it.

"Brother Bai, you spent 1.5 billion on land and invested 300 million in the early stages, and you spent nearly two years on exploration and planning. I'll offer 1.9 billion. I can't let you work for nothing, how about it?"

If Chen Dong had known what Bai Shaolong was thinking, he might have offered 1.7 or 1.6 billion. Although he wasn't short on money, 200 to 300 million was enough to buy him how many cars!

Chen Dong had his own little selfish motive: by taking over this project, it was equivalent to having his own private beachfront. He could swim and sightsee in the sea, coming and going as he pleased.

Whether taking his women or going out to play himself, it would be incredibly comfortable, like building a giant swimming pool for himself.

It could be used privately, earn a lot of money, and even be a place to keep a mistress hidden—a multi-purpose endeavor, why not?

Chen Dong's simple sentence was like a bomb thrown into a calm lake; after a brief silence, everyone instantly exploded into chatter.

1.9 billion! It was spoken so casually from the mouth of a 22-year-old young man. Even Bai Shaolong felt a bit parched. He considered himself a leader among the second-generation rich in Jinghai, and except for some top second-generations in the capital and magic city, he truly hadn't paid much attention to his peers, feeling they weren't on the same level.

But today, Chen Dong made him realize that there's always someone better!

When Bai Shaolong was 22, the maximum funds he could mobilize were only a few hundred million, and they had to be for starting a business; otherwise, his father would never agree.

Chen Dong's simple yet domineering statement once again refreshed everyone's perception of him—this was a true sugar daddy! First, 1 billion to acquire a hotel, and now immediately another 1.9 billion to acquire a project.

"Dongzi, you need to think carefully; that land isn't suitable for building a hotel. Any building over 10 meters will cost a lot."

"It's okay, I mainly bought it to build some things for my own enjoyment. Nation only requires that it be made into something like a tourist attraction, where the public can stroll and swim, right?"

"Yes, it can be commercialized, but it must provide some convenience to the public."

"Then I have no problem, it's just that Brother Bai, you better not ask me to take the project back later. I need to enjoy it for several decades myself."

Hiss—everyone couldn't help but gasp. The dozen or so young girls in cool attire busy nearby couldn't help but widen their beautiful eyes, looking at this young man with adoration. Some even had misty eyes; if it weren't for people around, they might have wanted to pounce on him.

What is a god-level rich person, what is a truly top-tier second-generation? Who could compare to Chen Shao in front of them!

Spending 1.9 billion to buy a project, just to build some things for his own enjoyment—this was too inhumanly extravagant.

"Dongzi, if you can really take over this project, then you've truly helped your brother a great deal. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."

Bai Shaolong patted Chen Dong's shoulder, and their relationship instantly became much closer.

The Bai family had money, but what kind of family could withstand losses of hundreds of millions or even over a billion at a time?

Spending money was fine, but there had to be a return. Even if there was a loss, a small loss was acceptable, but a large loss or even a complete loss of capital was unacceptable to any large financial group.

If Chen Dong took over the project for 1.9 billion, calculating it, he would still have a net income of 100 million in less than two years, which was a very good return.

Even Bai Yichen couldn't guarantee that his investment projects would earn 100 million every year.

"No problem, Brother Bai. Tomorrow I'll go to Brother Wang's place to look at cars, and after that, I'll go to your company to sign the contract."

Just then, the first batch of grilled skewers was brought up, and iced beer was also opened and placed in front of everyone.

"This lamb was transported from Fan Province today. I heard the meat quality is exceptionally good. It was freshly slaughtered and prepared this afternoon, specially to treat us brothers."

Wang Cheng pointed at the skewers that were brought up,

"Everyone, hurry and taste it; it won't be as good when it's cold."

Bai Shaolong looked at Chen Dong, signaling him to take first. Chen Dong wasn't pretentious and took a skewer nearby. The grilling level was very high, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, golden and gleaming.

With one bite, the meat aroma was mixed with a hint of oil, and the taste was excellent!

"Hmm, the meat is fresh and delicious, crispy on the bite, definitely a top-grade lamb skewer."

Everyone joined in tasting the delicacies, and Australian lobsters and king crabs were also served.

Everyone raised their glasses, and the atmosphere instantly became lively. Unconsciously, Chen Dong became one of the core figures among this group—

Who doesn't like dealing with a sugar daddy? The financial power Chen Dong displayed truly terrified these young second-generations.
