Chapter 127 - He Was Very Fast in Carrying out His Plan
“There's a vacant lot next to the Guoxing Building, you're all aware of it, correct?”
“We're aware, but that plot has been unused for quite some time. Rumor has it that there were plans to develop it into a real estate project, but no one could locate the owner, and the city government has yet to give its approval,” a deputy general manager commented.
“Excellent. Focus your investigation on every property within a 500-meter radius of that land,” Wang Guohui instructed urgently.
The employees, interpreting their boss's directive, surmised he was eyeing a venture into real estate.
This wasn't surprising or out of the ordinary. Real estate was lucrative, and with Guohui's substantial funds and extensive network, it was unlikely he'd incur losses in property development.
It appeared Guohui had an epiphany. Trading was fraught with risk, particularly his dealings with foreigners, which were often riddled with pitfalls.
But real estate was a different game. There was no need for deception like some domestic companies practiced. All he had to do was follow the proper procedures, ensure the construction met quality standards, and the money would pour in like a tide.
They were convinced that by engaging with the impersonal nature of buildings rather than people, they could turn a profit.
“Excellent. In addition to your current tasks, your next major assignment is to thoroughly investigate all nearby properties, be they hotels or office buildings, and find out if any are for sale,” Guohui continued.
The team nodded in agreement. Their boss was planning to build on this land and create a chain operation.
What a flawless strategy!
“I don't care how you do it or what it costs, but you must acquire at least one property.”
“Chairman, rest assured, we've got this covered. Our negotiation team is highly skilled,” they assured him confidently.
They were adept at such transactions; with sufficient incentive, no property owner would refuse a sale.
“After purchasing the building, dispatch a construction crew to demolish it immediately. Clear out the foundations and convert the land into farmland.”
Wang Guohui's subsequent statement left the employees utterly stunned.
Had the chairman lost his mind?
These were prime city center buildings, each worth at least a billion yuan.
If they were serious about purchasing that plot of land, it could cost them tens of billions of yuan. They had the funds, yet astonishingly, after acquiring the land, Wang Guohui intended to convert it into farmland.
What was the boss thinking?
Regardless of their reactions, Wang Guohui simply closed his eyes and pondered in silence.
Mr. Su was cultivating crops right in the heart of the city, but his farmland was far too limited.
He needed to allocate more farmland to Mr. Su.
Imagine if he bought up the entire downtown area and transformed it into farmland—Mr. Su's plots would be nothing short of impressive.
Yet, Wang Guohui's rationale remained a mystery to everyone.
The employees were completely taken aback, eyes bulging in disbelief at what they were hearing.
“From now on, remember, you'll all follow Mr. Su's lead.”
“Mr. Su?”
Confusion struck them once more. Who was this person?
Perhaps the boss had a dream during a moment of unconsciousness, a vision of a sage? Hopefully, he wasn't mixing up dreams with reality.
Some employees even contemplated secretly arranging for a doctor to perform a brain CT scan on their boss, to check if something was amiss with his brain.
If Wang Guohui wanted to farm, the countryside was full of available farmland. With 10 million yuan, he could secure a vast expanse.
But to purchase a costly skyscraper in the city center only to farm on its ruins?
That was utterly bewildering.
Yet, the two security guards seemed to grasp the situation, nodding in understanding, as did a few doctors nearby.
“Enough. Don't linger here. You're not privy to the full story. Just follow my commands.”
Wang Guohui, growing impatient and not in the mood to elaborate, quickly sat up. “Where's my mother? I need to see her.”
The employees' heads were swirling with confusion, but they dared not object. The company was Wang Guohui's domain, and his authority was unmatched by any ordinary individual.
Even Secretary Yang, the longest-serving employee under Wang Guohui, could only offer a nod of agreement.
Observing Wang Guohui's demeanor, they were convinced he hadn't lost his mind, but the rationale behind his decision was baffling. There had to be an underlying motive.
They weren't fools; the boss's mother hadn't passed away that morning but had miraculously regained her health in an instant. Clearly, someone had saved her.
The crux of the matter was that even after this person had saved his mother, there was no need for his boss to sell the Guoxing Building to turn it into farmland. It was unheard of.
A group of employees emerged from the hospital, their minds swirling with confusion.
“You folks are in the dark about this whole situation, aren't you? Well, we're clued in,” chimed in the two bodyguards, grinning broadly.
“What's the story?”
Usually, these bodyguards would have to show the utmost respect to the executives. But now, it was the bosses who were treating the bodyguards with exceptional courtesy.
With smiles still on their faces, the bodyguards recounted the entire sequence of events.
The employees were gobsmacked by the tale. The idea that such a thing could happen was beyond their wildest dreams.
But the most astonishing part was that this enigmatic figure, Mr. Su, was actually cultivating land right in the heart of downtown. It was utterly bewildering.
“Let's put that aside. We may not understand why this VIP is farming in the city center, but there's something critical we need to focus on,” CEO Fu said, his brow furrowed in thought.
“Starting today, we follow the boss's orders to the letter. This task takes precedence over everything else. All other business dealings are on hold. We're going to give this our all.”
“Absolutely. It's thanks to the boss that we enjoy the company's perks, share in its profits, and receive annual bonuses. Since he's tasked us with this, we've got to excel at it. Disappointing him isn't an option.”
“After all, we owe a debt of gratitude to the mysterious Mr. Su. Without him, we might be dealing with a whole new boss right now.”
“True enough.”
