Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 728 Making Money Through Lawsuits

Are you referring to an extreme scenario?

After a moment of stunned silence, Luo Yang reacted: "The risks should be considered, but the probability of extreme situations should be very small. I believe that the leaders who are pushing forward with the reforms would not want to see it either. After all, their terms of office are limited, and things could easily go wrong. Nobody wants such a scenario to happen."

"I'm just reminding you that this is possible."

Dong Xuan replied, "If the time really drags on for a long time, I can't keep waiting."

That's probably what she was trying to express.

According to Luo Yang's understanding, if this acquisition can be completed within a year, or if it has already begun and good results can be seen in a short period of time, Dong Xuan will not have any other ideas.

But if there's still no hope after that time, given Dong Xuan's personality and age, it's absolutely impossible for her to put all her eggs in one basket.

Unless Luo Yang has other plans for her at this stage.

I understand your thinking.

Since Dong Xuan was being so frank, Luo Yang stopped hiding his intentions: "If I don't see any hope within six months, I'll register a bank in Hong Kong and ask you to help manage it. Would that be enough to keep you here?"

"cluck"

Dong Xuan laughed on the other end of the phone, saying, "President Luo, my body is already yours, and now you want my heart too? Tsk tsk tsk, are you planning to take advantage of me completely, skin and bones?"

Even though she knew Luo Yang was going to propose next week, she still spoke without any restraint.

"hehe."

After chuckling a few times, Luo Yang said in a seductive tone, "They say choice is more important than effort. If you join now while it's still in its early stages of development, you definitely won't regret it in the future. But you only get one chance, and the ticket becomes more and more precious as time goes on."

Many people viewed his words as self-aggrandizement.

However, in Dong Xuan's eyes, who was familiar with Luo Yang, he did have a certain air of sophistication.

Because of her business dealings, she was extremely familiar with the development prospects of the industries Luo Yang currently owned. To be fair, calling it a trillion-dollar empire might be a bit of an exaggeration, but within three to five years, those industries would most likely expand to a scale of several tens of billions.

Many companies are still in the early stages of development, some of which have only recently been founded.

However, it must be admitted that those companies have a very good future prospect.

This is also why Dong Xuan was willing to curry favor with Luo Yang.

"I currently hold a boat ticket given to me by President Luo."

Dong Xuan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You're not going to kick me off the ship halfway through, are you?"

"I have always been kind to my own people."

Luo Yang promised, "As long as it's not a voluntary departure, I'm still willing to give them a chance and time."

"Yes, Mr. Luo gave me about forty minutes last time."

Dong Xuan chuckled again and said, "I'm very satisfied, but I don't know when I'll get another chance, or how much time I'll get?"

This woman, if you give her even a little sunshine, she'll immediately shine brightly.

Luo Yang: "."

"The important thing now is to help President Luo arrange the marriage proposal ceremony."

Dong Xuan stepped on the brakes and slowed down the car: "I, who am not even ranked as a mistress, have to make a good impression. Maybe I'll need her someday."

Luo Yang didn't believe a single word.

A woman like her is very clear about everything. If you want to motivate her to do something, just offer her the right benefits.

"Yes, keep in touch with Wen Wan more often."

Just then, Jiang Fan called. Luo Yang quickly gave Dong Xuan some instructions and then ended the call.

“I went to Lao Jiang’s office to deliver some documents and heard him say that you stayed until after 3 a.m. before leaving.”

After the call connected, Jiang Fan's voice came through the phone: "Are you already on your way back to Shanghai?"

As is customary, Luo Yang rarely stays in Yang City until Thursday.

Not to mention from Monday to Friday.

"I'm still in Yang City, at Zhengyang Group right now. I was just about to call you to have dinner together after I hung up the phone, but I didn't expect you to call me directly."

Luo Yang smiled and explained, "You're still in the Yuanfan Building, right? I'll come pick you up now. I want to talk to you about something tonight."

"Eh?"

The phone suddenly went silent.

It may seem hard to believe, but the fact is that Luo Yang is still in Yang City.

"Okay, come pick me up quickly."

Jiang Fan said happily, "Let's go eat crayfish together tonight!"

In 12, crayfish had already begun to emerge in night markets. Although it was not as popular as it would become a few years later, it was already showing signs of becoming the king of late-night snacks.

There aren't many flavors available yet; basically, there are only four: minced garlic, thirteen-spice, spicy, and plain water.

Jiang Fan is a typical girl from the Jiangnan water towns, the kind who can't eat spicy food. But when she was eating crayfish, she insisted on ordering spicy and thirteen-spice flavors. She's a typical girl who's both a novice and loves to have fun.

"Hachi, Hachi."

While sticking out her little tongue and occasionally taking a sip of her cold drink, she kept glancing at the lobster meat that Luo Yang had peeled into the bowl.

"husband"

"Ok?"

Why do you just peel it but not eat it?

"It's more energizing to eat them all at once after saving them up."

Luo Yangming knew exactly what Jiang Fan's subtle glance meant, but he pretended not to.

He skewered the crayfish meat onto bamboo sticks, ten at a time, then rolled them in the broth a few times: "Look, skewer a few like this, and we'll eat them like barbecue later, it'll be really exciting!"

"Zi Liu."

Looking at the skewer full of crayfish meat, still dripping with rich sauce, Jiang Fan couldn't help but drool.

Looking at the pile of crayfish shells on my plate, I suddenly felt that peeling and eating them one by one wasn't so appealing anymore.
"Pfft!"

Luo Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Here!"

After skewering another one, he handed it to Jiang Fan, saying, "I peeled these for you!"

"Thanks husband!"

Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed with laughter.

Saying thank you, I quickly took the crayfish meat and happily started eating the skewers.

Are you busy with work lately?

Luo Yang continued peeling the lobster, asking casually, "Has there been no follow-up action after the launch of Yuanfan Electric Vehicles?"

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Fan's mouth was full of lobster meat, so he had no time to speak and could only answer with a nasal tone.

"I'm not busy lately."

Luo Yang smiled and said, "How about we go to Hainan for a weekend?"

"Eh?"

Jiang Fan, holding the bamboo skewer with half a crayfish meat remaining, looked at Luo Yang with disbelief. "Honey, what did you just say?"

"I told you that if you're not too busy lately, you should go to Hainan for a vacation."

Luo Yang chuckled, took a tissue, and reached over to wipe Jiang Fan's mouth. "I still remember the trip to Hainan with you during our sophomore summer vacation. I miss the feeling of walking together on the beach at sunset. I'd like to relive that experience with you."

"Great! Great!" Jiang Fan was overjoyed and quickly agreed, "Then I'll talk to Lao Jiang tomorrow and ask for a few days off next week so we can go to Hainan for vacation."

As she spoke, she almost lost herself in waving her arms.

This shows how excited he was.

"Fanfan, I'm sorry."

Seeing Jiang Fan's excited appearance, Luo Yang suddenly felt a little heartache: "In the past year or two, I've been so focused on business that I forgot we're only in our early twenties, the perfect age for dating. From now on, I'll try my best to make time every year to travel with you and let you see the world."

The sudden gentleness made Jiang Fan feel a little uncomfortable.

After a moment of stunned silence, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

The woman's emotions were on full display at this moment. Jiang Fan nodded heavily and said, "Honey, you have so many businesses under your control, you must be incredibly busy. You don't need to worry about my feelings too much. Just take me on a trip once a year, that's enough. After all, we'll have plenty of time in the future!"

She knew that Luo Yang's ambition was to retire in his thirties or forties. Even if that was an exaggeration, he should be able to achieve his dream before he turned fifty.

They have plenty of time in their lives to travel the world.

"Different."

Luo Yang smiled gently and said, "Traveling together when you're young and traveling together when you're old are completely different concepts!"

"Ok!"

Jiang Fan responded gently, "I'll do whatever you say."

"But you're right about one thing."

While peeling crayfish, Luo Yang said, "It's not very convenient to travel now. But in seven or eight years, when my cultural tourism projects are built around famous scenic spots across the country, it will be a real vacation."

"Yes, then we can stay in our own hotel."

Jiang Fan blinked and said, "Back then, the whole family could go out together, and it wouldn't be a hassle to bring the kids."

She got excited when she talked about this.

After putting down the bamboo skewers and wiping her hands clean with a tissue, she earnestly discussed with Luo Yang, "Honey, your cultural tourism company currently only has one project in Xishu Town. Where do you plan to invest in the future?"

"We definitely need to develop a project in Haitang Bay, Hainan."

Speaking of this, Luo Yang revealed his plan to Jiang Fan: "We can develop a homestay project on Erhai Lake in Yunnan Province, a hot spring hotel in Shangri-La, a summer resort in Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan Province, and we can also consider Taiping Lake in Huangshan, Shennongjia, or any other well-known tourist attractions that are suitable for tourism and vacation."

"Also, the snow scenery in Northeast China is beautiful in winter."

"Hmm, we could consider setting up a ski resort together."

Luo Yang smiled and said, "Moreover, the local specialties there are quite unique, so setting up a resort or something similar is definitely a viable option."

"Yes, and there are also vast grasslands, the kind where you can ride horses."

Jiang Fan became more and more excited as she spoke: "Honey, there's also Xinjiang. Let's set up a fruit orchard there. The fruit there is so sweet, and the lamb is delicious too."

Goodness, their voices are getting louder and louder.

The restaurant serves crayfish, and the tables are lined up one after another in the lobby.

As Jiang Fan spoke with great enthusiasm, some of the young people at the surrounding tables covered their mouths and laughed, while others looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.

This is such a blatant lie, it's about to burst!

"cough cough"

Luo Yang could only cough a few times to remind Jiang Fan to speak more quietly.

Unfortunately, she was already lost in her fantasy and couldn't pull herself out, continuing to talk about her dream: "The old houses in the capital are quite charming, especially the courtyard houses. If we have the chance, let's buy one, right near Houhai. We can take a walk after dinner and even go to the little bars."

Twenty-two-year-old Jiang Fan acted like a little girl full of dreams in front of Luo Yang.

"Pfft!"

It wasn't until a group of young people at the next table couldn't help but laugh out loud that Jiang Fan realized what was happening.

She didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Jiang Fan knew that Luo Yang could help her realize these dreams.

She was a little embarrassed because she was making a loud noise, so she stuck her tongue out at Luo Yang and then continued peeling crayfish as if nothing had happened.

"Luo Yang, what are you busy with tomorrow?"

This time, he lowered his voice: "Are we departing from Shanghai or Nanjing Lukou Airport? If we're departing from Shanghai, it would be best if we stayed near the airport tomorrow afternoon."

"I probably won't be able to leave tomorrow."

Luo Yang shook his head and said, "Dad arranged a dinner for me with the leaders of a big bank. It won't end until at least nine o'clock, and I don't even know if I'll drink too much."

"Oh"

Jiang Fan knew Luo Yang had something to do tomorrow night, so he stopped considering his earlier idea: "Shall we book a flight for Saturday afternoon?"

"Yes, let's do it in the afternoon, when we have more time."

Luo Yang nodded and said, "You book the plane tickets. As for the accommodation arrangements, I've already asked the office to make them. A car will pick you up."

"We're going on vacation, so let's stay at a hotel."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said, "After all, a hotel is more convenient."

When the two were sophomores, they went to Hainan for a trip and stayed in Jiang Fan's villa. They had to eat out for all three meals a day, which was indeed a bit inconvenient.

"Anyway, I've already arranged everything. Apart from buying the plane tickets, I don't need to worry about anything else."

Jiang Fan was unaware that after those phone calls were made this afternoon, countless people had been busy preparing for their marriage proposal. At that very moment, while the two were peeling crayfish, the board office was still working overtime.

Starting next week, this busy period will gradually intensify, reaching its peak on Tuesday and Wednesday.

While Luo Yang and Jiang Fan were strolling on the beach, some people were setting up a stage for a concert under the sun, some were buying fireworks, and some were on a plane heading to Hainan.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot something!"

After clinking glasses with Luo Yang while holding his cold drink, Jiang Fan suddenly froze for a moment.

"what happened?"

"I'm going on a business trip to several major cities in the south next week!"

Jiang Fan bit his lower lip, saying apologetically, "The South China region manager has already been notified of the inspections of the renovation progress of our Guangfan Electronics specialty stores in Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

"Let's postpone it to the week after next."

Luo Yang said nonchalantly, "It's just renovations, it's not a big deal."

"That's all we can do."

Jiang Fan said with some annoyance, "I should have notified you later; it was only half a day too late."

It looks like the decision was made this afternoon.

"It's my fault. I was thinking of giving you a surprise, so I didn't call to tell you this afternoon."

To cover up the proposal ceremony, Luo Yang quickly changed the subject, asking, "How many exclusive stores have been set up across the country for this batch?"

"In the north, we entered three cities: the capital, Tianjin, and Jinan. In the Yangtze River Delta, we opened more stores, including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, and Ningbo. Upstream along the Yangtze River, we opened one store each in Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing, and Chengdu. In South China, we opened three stores in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai. In total, we opened 17 stores nationwide, with a total investment of 3155 million yuan."

At this point, Jiang Fan pouted, "Honey, Guangfan Electronics only earned a little over 3000 million last year. Adding the profits from the first half of this year, almost all of it has been invested back. Now the company only has a few million left in its account."

"Don't worry!"

Luo Yang advised, "This is all small change. In another year or two, we'll be preparing to go to court with others. That's when we'll make big money!"

"what?"

Jiang Fan looked at Luo Yang with confusion: "Making money through lawsuits?"

Selfie stick!

Luo Yang smiled mysteriously: "The patent rights are in our hands."
