Chapter 236 Xu Jinqiu's Image
In the next few years in Hong Kong, real estate will undoubtedly be the most profitable business.

Chen Fan never thought of large-scale development. Selling in full would only affect the price. The right thing to do is to hold back on selling. This is how all real estate companies in Hong Kong play the game.

The land is all in the hands of real estate tycoons. Only a small portion of it is released each year, and the price is constantly raised, just like cutting leeks.

In fact, does Hong Kong lack land?
There was really not much shortage. Even in later generations, only 30% of the land was used for development, and the rest was in the hands of four major families, namely the two Li families, the Guo family, and the Zheng family.

The four major families not only took commercial land, but also farmland. What Chen Fan is doing now is similar, which is to acquire land and hoard land, and he has no plans for large-scale development.

Throwing Jiang Dawei into such a project is obviously a waste of talent. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Fan is more inclined to put him on the supermarket project.

Previously, 100 million US dollars were left in the account, which was originally intended to be used to acquire three businesses: shipping, ports and supermarkets.

Shipping and port negotiations have not been reached yet, and most of the funds are used for supermarket projects.

The last time I went to Hong Kong, Zhou Wenya came to me with the report. Half of the money had been spent. If I work hard, I might be able to spend it all this year.

1 million US dollars, 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars!
With the current purchasing power of currency, such a large investment may not be impressive on the international level, but it is enough to create a retail giant in Hong Kong.

The property value of a supermarket of 3000 square meters is just over 1000 million. It has to be said that Chen Fan entered the market at a very appropriate time, when housing prices were at their lowest point.

However, after the acquisition, Chen Fan never moved.

Nowadays, these supermarkets are all doing their own thing, like a pile of loose sand. As long as they don't lose money, Chen Fan pretends not to see it. He didn't have time to manage them before.

Now that I have graduated from university, it is time to integrate projects and establish a chain brand.

In the future, it will definitely develop into a retail giant.

Explain the long-term vision of the project clearly: "Talk to your family, the house in the Beijing community will be reserved for you. If you go to Hong Kong, there will also be a house for you. The whole family can go there together."

"As for the treatment, don't worry. You will be provided with a house and a car, and the salary and benefits are comparable to those of senior executives in Hong Kong."

"Mr. Chen, I'll go!" Jiang Dawei said without hesitation.

The boss let me go because he thinks highly of me. This opportunity may only come once in a lifetime, and it would be a pity if I miss it.

"Then it's settled. Once we hand over the work, we'll go to Hong Kong."

After getting the first candidate, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The project development was indeed short of people, and he would take every one he could get, as there would be many more people to be poached later.

After having lunch in Minxia, we didn’t rest and got on the bus to Minzhang. After resting for a night, we went back to our hometown the next day.

Pinghe, a county town famous for its pomelo.

The cultivation of pomelo in Pinghe can be traced back to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, but an industrial chain has not yet been formed and it is still a poor county.

According to the historical trajectory, it was not until 86 that the government listed the development of Guanxi Honey Pomelo as a key poverty alleviation project and proposed a support policy of "county-run fruit farms of acres, township-run fruit farms of acres, village-run fruit farms of acres, and each household planting pomelo trees", which led to the development of the county.

When passing the county town, the convoy stopped to look for a while. There were not many decent buildings, mostly small bungalows and tiled houses. Everything was still very backward.

After looking around for a while, the convoy started again.

After leaving the county town, there are dirt roads and endless winding mountain roads. Guan Yuemei couldn't help but complain: "It feels like there are more mountains here than in Yunnan."

After driving on the winding mountain road for two hours, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a village called Chenjia Village.

Looking from the entrance of the village, the most eye-catching things are the two large earth buildings. Surrounding the earth buildings are rows of rammed earth tile houses, and the entrances are particularly spacious.

On the other side of the village, there is a grand ancestral hall, the Chen Family Ancestral Hall!
There is only one surname in this village: Chen!

Chen Fan looked at it carefully for a while. It was almost the same as the first time he came here in his previous life, but it had changed after the new century. Except for the earthen buildings and ancestral halls, all the houses were built into small villas.

"Mr. Chen, your great uncle lives in the earth building, and your great aunt lives in the row of rammed earth houses next to it. Someone has been arranged to come and pass on the message. They are waiting at home now."

"Let's go then!"

The small river at the entrance of the village surrounds the entire village like a jade belt. There is a small stone bridge over the river and a big banyan tree at the end of the bridge, which is so big that several people can't hug it.

There is a stone bridge over the stream. The bridge is not big and cars cannot pass through. Fifty meters ahead is an earth building called Jianyang Tower!

Two pairs of elderly couples in their sixties stood at the entrance of the earth building, next to them stood two pairs of middle-aged couples, two young men of fifteen or sixteen, and a girl of twelve or thirteen.

Jiang Dawei acted as the middleman and introduced everyone. The two sides began to compare information. Chen Musheng also took out photos of his father when he was young and showed them to the two elderly couples.

After confirming that it was correct, Chen Fan's great uncle and aunt started crying. It had been several decades since their eldest brother left, and now they were separated by the Yin and Yang.

"Are you my cousin?"

Chen Yi came up to the little girl and handed her a chocolate. The little girl took it and said, "My name is Chen Xiaoran, what's your name?"

Chen Yi grinned: "My name is Chen Yi, she is my niece, Zhang Xiaoxi, sister, can you take us out to play?" Chen Xiaoran hummed: "Let's go!"

The child didn't like the scene of recognizing his relatives, so he turned around and walked out. Chen Fan noticed it, signaled a bodyguard to follow him, and then ignored him.

He was familiar with the village and there was no danger there.

It is the small river in the village. The water level is not even knee-deep. In the summer, the children in the village play in the river, either fishing or catching shrimps.

After confirming their identities, everyone followed them into the house.

There are not many relatives here.

My great uncle had only one son, named Chen Muyang, who had another son and a daughter, Chen Xiaotian and Chen Xiaoran.

My aunt's family also has a son named Chen Guanghui, and she also has only one son named Chen Xiaolong.

Just like Chen Fan’s family, there are not many people!

When introducing Chen Fan and his three wives, the uncle and aunt praised him for his ability, saying that he would marry three wives at once and would surely have many children in the future.

After talking about the situation on both sides, Chen Musheng got down to business. In addition to coming back to recognize his relatives, he also had to rebury his parents and place their tablets in the ancestral hall.

And the children also need to be included in the family tree.

The matter is not complicated, it's just about following the customs. Chen Musheng was born and raised in Beijing, and knows nothing about things here, so the elders have to make the decisions.

Another thing is that the reburial cannot be done on any day. One has to check the almanac and choose a date. One has to find someone to calculate it, and the village elders have to make the decision.

"Where are Xiaoyi and Xiaoxi?"

After finishing the serious business, Guan Yuemei felt that something was wrong. Her little girl was usually very noisy, but why was she so quiet today?

Chen Fan rolled his eyes: "Take Xiaoran out to play, there's someone with her, don't worry."

Guan Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief and glared at her son: "You didn't even bother to say anything."

Chen Fan was speechless. Is it my fault?
There's no point in arguing with me. It was fine when I was single, and I used to care about my son. But since Xu Jinqiu came into the family, my son has become dispensable.

"I'll go out and take a look!"

If you can't afford to offend, you can afford to avoid. Chen Fan took his three wives out for a stroll. The environment in his hometown was really good at this moment, with green mountains and clear waters.

Zeng Ali couldn't help but sigh, this is the pastoral atmosphere!

Xu Jinqiu immediately replied to her: "The so-called pastoral atmosphere means that when you are not working, they really let you go to work in the fields, hehe..."

"He will definitely cry for his parents!" Miss Zhao responded.

They all went to the countryside to work in the fields, and they know rural life very well. They suffer hardship all year round, so how could they have the time to enjoy the pastoral atmosphere?

The so-called pastoral atmosphere is to take money and go to the countryside to watch others work and enjoy life yourself.

Zeng Ali was furious and bullied her because she had never been to the countryside. She reached out to hit her, scaring the two girls so much that they ran away, and she chased them closely.

Comparing it with the villagers working in the distance, it does have a pastoral atmosphere.

However, for Xu Jinqiu, such days did not last too long. After staying in the village for only two days, she took Chen Fan to start the inspection work.

There are too many places to build schools, and it is impossible to go to each place one by one. We can only choose randomly and try to visit 50 places, and then visit some poor students who need scholarships.

In the summer in southern Fujian, there are a lot of wild fruits, which are all snacks for children. Xu Jinqiu is still as sinister as ever. Whenever he comes across wild fruits, he will snatch them from the children.

I guess when the children grow up, their memory of Xu Jinqiu will be: a bad sister who wore a white shirt, specialized in snatching snacks, and funded them.

"Next time, put a handful of candy in your pocket and exchange it with the kids. You can't just keep snatching them."

"What is exchanged is not as delicious as what is robbed."

Xu Jinqiu never gets tired of this. The wild fruits in each place are different and have rich flavors. She plans to buy them all over the country.

It took more than half a month before the car returned to Chenjia Village. After picking up the family, we returned to Beijing together. We will come again in October.

The date of the reburial is set for October!
After returning to Beijing, Chen Fan did not have time to rest. He transferred a group of people from the foundation to Hong Kong, and the supermarket project was to be officially launched.

As soon as the plane landed in Hong Kong, Zhou Wenya brought good news, but this good news was accompanied by bad news, which would bring bigger trouble.
