Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Rotten Water Shop, as soon as you hear the name of this place, you will know that this is definitely not a good place.

Most of the people who lived here before were fishermen.

Because they couldn't afford a house in the city, they had no choice but to settle down here nearby.

Half a year ago, Lanshuipu was still an uninteresting place.

Generally speaking, people in the city will not come to this wilderness except for outings and picnics.

But by this time, Lanshuipu had become a lively and prosperous place.

Bars, bathing centers, karaoke OKs, massage parlors, nightclubs, etc. are all available.

It is simply unimaginable, but in less than half a year, earth-shaking changes have already taken place here.

In order to make this place prosperous, Lin Daoqiu has burned nearly 60 million in cash.

But all this was worth it to Lin Daoqiu.

Because the price of nearby land has quietly increased by 350% because Lin Daoqiu spent a lot of money on marketing.

From the original 500 yuan, it has risen to 1,750, and judging from the trend, I am afraid it will continue to rise.

Due to the increase in land prices, Lin Daoqiu has made back all the money he invested in the pedestrian street, and even has a surplus.

However, for Lin Daoqiu, his purpose is not to make the pedestrian street profitable, nor is it to increase the price of the land he purchased.

The reason why he did this was to attract Bao Shaogang and others to come here to buy land.

And in order to speed up the pace, Lin Daoqiu sprinkled a handful of aniseed into Bao Shaogang.

"Hello, I am Marshall, President of Le Bon Marché Department Store in Asia."

Le Bon Marché department store is a well-known department store in the world, headquartered in Paris.

Because it is the oldest and most majestic department store in Paris, it is often used as a filming location in movies.

It can be said that this department store is famous all over the world.

At this time, a foreigner with a tall nose looked at Lin Daoqiu with a haughty expression.

"Remember to point your nostrils at others, hold your head a little higher, and speak a little proudly."

Lin Daoqiu corrected the other person's posture while teaching him how to speak.

The guy in front of me is not a Marshall at all, nor is he from Le Bon Marché Department Store. He is just a liar hired by Lin Daoqiu.

To be precise, this guy was carefully selected by Lin Daoqiu. After all, if you want to deceive Bao Shaogang and the others, ordinary liars will easily reveal their secrets, so you have to find a master.

"Watch your attitude. It's very rude for you to talk to me like this, you know?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu pointed out, Marshall immediately frowned and looked very unhappy.

It seems that the other party is really smart and can understand what he means immediately.

"After the project is completed, I will give you three hundred thousand US dollars with both hands, but please remember that if you fail, not only will you not get the money, but I will also throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

For such a guy, in addition to carrots, there are also sticks.

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to not only fail to deceive Bao Shaogang, but also be deceived by this guy.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured. With such a large reward, you will have no problem asking me to kill people. And I have never failed. Please believe me."

Marshall looked at Lin Daoqiu greedily. If he could get such a large reward, it would be enough for him to live happily for several years.

Having customized an identity for Marshall as the president of Asia, Lin Daoqiu believed that even if Bao Shaogang and the others went to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything for a while.

Besides, Lin Daoqiu also had a back-up man beside Bao Shaogang, but he wouldn't reveal it easily before time came.

…………

Sitting in his office, Fan Jiaming put his feet up on the chair and looked very comfortable.

In recent times, Fan Jiaming has hardly been scolded by Bao Shaogang, which makes him hard to feel bad.

And just when Fan Jiaming was thinking about where he was going to play in the evening, there was a sudden knock on the door of his office.

"Come in."

Putting his feet down and sitting upright, Fan Jiaming would still look very serious in front of people outside.

When the door was pushed open, the subordinate responsible for investigating the rotten water shop walked in from the outside.

Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to be very anxious.

"Young Master Fan, I found out something incredible."

Fan Jiaming had a nonchalant expression on his face. He didn't think the other party could find out anything serious.

"If you have anything to say, please speak slowly and don't be anxious. After following me for such a long time, why can't you learn from my stable character?"

After finishing speaking, Fan Jiaming couldn't help but shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fan, I will pay attention next time."

I don't know what happened to Fan Jiaming today. He suddenly started to act pretentious, but this is not something he needs to worry about.

Fan Jiaming nodded, and it seemed that the other party's answer made Fan Jiaming very satisfied.

"What did you find out? Tell me."

After Fan Jiaming finished asking, he started to lower his head and read the documents.

"In the past few days, I was inquiring about the news at Lanshuipu, and suddenly I met a group of French people. They had been wandering around and seemed to want to buy land there."

Hearing the news, Fan Jiaming's heart didn't even have the slightest fluctuation.

What's the big deal if a group of French people want to buy land there? After all, the business on the pedestrian street in Lanshui Pu is so prosperous, so it's normal for these people to want to make money.

"Okay, is there any other news?"

Fan Jiaming curled his lips, he was not interested in the news at all.

"Master Fan, please listen to me first. I then quietly inquired about the identities of those people and found out that they are from Le Bon Marché Department Store."

Having never heard of this name, Fan Jiaming raised his head and looked at the men opposite him with a blank expression.

If it were Bao Shaogang, he might even know what Le Bon Marché Department Store is.

But it is a pity that Fan Jiaming is not that knowledgeable. Apart from local things, he doesn't know much about foreign things.

"Le Bon Marché is the oldest department store in France. It is famous all over the world and is one of the best department stores in the world."

He spread his arms and gestured with a big concept in front of Fan Jiaming.

It seems that this guy really wants to let the Fan family know how famous Le Bon Marché Department Store is.

Fortunately, Fan Jiaming is not a fool. The other party made it so clear, and he has already realized the importance of this news.

"You mean, Le Bon Marché Department Store plans to open a store in Langshuipu?"

Although Fan Jiaming doesn't know how influential Le Bon Marché Department Store is, if that department store really chooses to open a store in Lanshuipu, the surrounding land prices will probably double again.

"I don't know the specific situation yet, but they have been wandering around the neighborhood for several days. I think they must be inseparable."

Fan Jiaming, who seemed very calm at first, suddenly stood up from his chair and walked out immediately.

He wanted to report the news to Bao Shaogang in person immediately.
