I'm A Baller - Chapter 219
Chapter 219: Fear to the Extreme
Wang Yan had already made plans.
“Dad, Mom, first, we need to come up with a good story. As for where the money came from, we need to give an explanation to the outside world.”
“Tomorrow, we will return to Wangjiaao. You can look for a suitable barren mountain. It would be best if it is in the Moon Mountain and the environment is hidden. After that, you can talk to the Wangjiaao village committee about the contract.”
“After I get the contract, I will sprinkle the earthworms in the dark and slowly transform the soil.”
“There is no need to rush to plant things. We will have enough time next spring.”
“Let’s plan it well. We will mainly focus on economic crops. The quality is more important than the quantity. We will try to cultivate everything. Fruit trees, medicinal herbs, tea trees…”
“When the things come out, we will look at the quality and decide whether we should expand the scale.”
“If the quality is really high, the problem of inconvenient transportation is no longer a problem. There are a lot of rich people in the big cities out there who specially look for high-priced and top-quality food. If our unit price is set to the luxury level, we can make a fortune even if we have to carry it out manually.”
Wang Yan was calm and organized. His expression was confident, and his calm temperament carried a strength that could calm people’s hearts.
Wang Dayuan and Wang Xiufang did not have much experience and had long been left far behind Wang Yan. They did not even have the slightest doubt in their hearts.
It was a little hard to believe, but it was true.
“Can it really be sold at a high price? How expensive is the quality you mentioned?” Wang Xiufang asked anxiously.
Wang Yan immediately quoted an example. “I once freeloaded a meal with a big leader. Two taels of Japanese Wagyu beef. The price was 3,000 yuan. That meal cost more than a million in total.”
Free meals were fine, but more than a million was not nonsense.
At that time, he took a few photos and showed them to his parents.
“Snow-patterned beef, see? If our soil and water quality can be modified to a particularly good quality and grow top-grade grass, we can also raise a top-grade black cow!”
Black cows were not Japanese beef cow. Same origin but there were two prices.
Of course, it was true that they could also be bought at a very high price.
In fact, the value of good mountains, good water, and good soil was far more than just planting and animal husbandry. It was just that there was no need to be so specific right now. If they really wanted to do it, their parents would definitely understand.
Wang Dayuan was a little worried.
“You can definitely earn money by planting. However, transportation in barren mountains in the forest is really hard. If the quality is not high enough, they will all rot…”
Wang Yan was full of confidence, “What’s so hard to trnsport wild medicinal herbs and tea? The quantity is not big, and the unit price is high. Just plant fewer fruits and whatnot.”
“That’s true…”
Father Wang was immediately convinced.
Wang Xiufang asked again, “Then we are not planting trees?”
Wang Dayuan waved his hand directly, “No, we are not. Why are we planting? When the time comes to cut them down, we have to go to the county to get a cutting permit… troublesome my ass!”
Wang Yan had a different opinion, “We can plant fewer trees with high economic value and slow growth. Let them grow there slowly!”
Father Wang immediately changed his mind. “Yes, that’s the rational!”
Wang Xiufang didn’t care about what they planted. She was always worried about money.
“Then how are we going to tell the public?”
“The stone used to build the courtyard wall has cut out jade, or the broken bottle passed down from our ancestors has been sold… It doesn’t matter.”
“How many relatives can we hide it from?”
“Tell them that the lottery tickets were won in our early years. Once the rumors spread, those b*tches will definitely be confused!”
“It would be better to say that our ancestors were the great landlords of Wangjiaao…”
“Do you think we’re not? I wasn’t allowed to go to school when I was young.”
“So you can’t say that there are any businesses outside of the city?”
“Sure… we’ll stay in Wangjiaao from now on anyway.”
The old couple used their brains and were very motivated.
Wang Yan’s grandfather was a big landlord. In fact, the family business had been ruined many years ago, but it could still be used to scare people.
If other families said they had ancestral property, they would probably be laughed at.
As for the Wang family… some might be convinced while some were doubtful. Most of them would believe it.
Moreover, if they were really busy, they would definitely be slowly cut off from their original circle of friends. The remaining few relatives would have places to settle down in the future, so it was not a problem at all.
The family of three studied for an entire afternoon and looked up a lot of information before finally deciding on their future development plans.
The next morning, Wang Yan left the car company to rent a wrangler. He pulled his parents along and headed straight for Wangjiaao.
…
The mining province was mountainous. Taihang and Luliang, two large mountain ranges, one on the left and the other on the right, passed through the border.
Half of the Gu Jiao area was covered by mountains, but most of it was barren mountains. As for the industrial city, it was hard to say, but that was the situation.
Wangjiaao was located in the remaining veins of Taihang. Transportation was inconvenient, and the land was barren. With the depletion of the small coal mines, the village’s young and strong had moved away for a long time.
There were only a dozen or so old people left in the village. Wang Yan’s uncle was guarding more than ten acres of miscellaneous fields of the family, and he was finding it more and more boring.
As expected, Wangjiaao was not far from the evacuation village.
Such a remote place would become more and more desolate if one were to go southwest.
It was said that there were deep mountains and old forests, but there were basically no forests in the deep mountains of Wangjiaao.
There were dense mountains and forests to the south and north, except for a few hills in Wangjiaao, where the vegetation was sparse.
The wrangler was extremely good for cross-country driving, Wang Yan drove all the way to the back of Yue Mountain. After crossing more than two kilometers of the reservoir, they finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.
Wang Dayuan got off the car and explained the terrain to Wang Yan.
“Look, son. Xiaoyue Mountain, Tiger Head Rock, and Menlai Peak. These three strangely shaped hills surrounded the land in front of us… Let’s go and take a look on foot!”
After climbing halfway up Xiaoyue Mountain, Wang Yan looked into the valley and was immediately attracted by this place.
A small valley in the middle was triangular in shape. It was less than one square kilometer in area. In total, it was about 1,000 mu of flat land. It was even enough to build a natural village.
However, the land in the valley was too barren. There were not many trees and weeds were everywhere.
A small stream meandered down from Tiger Head Rock and passed through the plains. Finally, it disappeared in the karst cave at the foot of Xiaoyue Mountain.
There were a total of three “exits” in the small valley. They were at the intersection angles of the three mountains.
However, there were two exits that were almost a hundred meters high. There was basically no possibility of passing by a car.
Only off road vehicle could pass through the mountain between Tiger Head Rock and Menlai Peak on the opposite side.
However, there was no point in going out from there. The opposite side was full of ravines. They had to pass through the Luliang mountain range before they could reach the next downtown area.
This shabby place was truly isolated.
“If we really want to choose this place, we have to open a path under our feet before we can really transport the things to the provincial capital.”
Wang Dayuan was a little worried.
However, Wang Yan was very optimistic.
“Developing the mountain area is a very long project. Our magic weapon is the mutated earth dragon. Concealment is the most important factor. In three to five years, or even eight to ten years, our forest will take shape. We will definitely be able to find a way to solve the road problem.”
The worst-case scenario was that the next time they got the giant earthworm incubators, they would straightaway pile them up at the foot of the mountain and the earth dragon would “eat” the mountain rocks. That would be the worst solution.
“But can our family’s money last that long?”
“Don’t worry, the initial investment isn’t big. I have other ways to invest the rest of the money. In the future, I’ll have live money every year.”
Wang Yan’s words shocked the old couple again.
“In what way? Son, don’t let others cheat you!”
“Some of the things on the internet are related to live streaming, guilds, and internet entertainment. I know a lot of reliable friends. I won’t lose out. Xi Zige is doing this now. He’s making a lot of money.”
Wang Yan lied without giving any details. The old couple faced their son, whose temperament had changed drastically, and they couldn’t have doubt on him at all. Their hearts were filled with hope.
The kind of expectations that parents had for their children to become successful, once combined with the actual changes, they really believed it without a doubt.
Wang Yan had changed drastically. The strength and leadership demeanor in him was very convincing. His every move was steady, and the old couple were unconsciously convinced.
After all, the initial investment was not high, and the money was easy to come by. So, let’s give it a try!
“Okay, let’s go back and ask around in the village and the town to see for the price!”
Wang Dayuan threw his cigarette butt and crushed it in the ground. Then, he walked into the valley with his hands behind his back.
He walked around the three mountains for the whole day. At night, when he returned to Wang Yan’s grandmother’s house, the family discussed many things before they went to sleep.
…
Three days later, Wang Dayuan signed a contract with the town for the three mountains and a small piece of wasteland in the middle.
The duration was 70 years, and the fee was 10 yuan per mu per year.
The total area was about 18 square kilometers. It was more than 27,000 mu, just enough to cover all three mountains.
The contract fee was paid once for 10 years, and after that, it would be paid every five years. The contract was signed to the town.
Wangjiaao could withdraw from the village at any time. He could not sign the contract with the village because he was afraid that there would be arguement in the future.
The 2.7 million yuan would be transferred over. That barren mountain range would be the peak of the Wang’s mountain in the future.
If he really could not grow anything, he could build a village, pull a group of people, and snatch a few village wives back. To the god tier tycoon Wang, it was still not a loss.
Hehe!
Once the contract was effective, Wang Yan immediately took advantage of the darkness to cultivate all the earthworms and spread them evenly on the mountain peak.
In the spring of the following year, the core area would be completely transformed.
After a year, the mountain rocks would turn into soil, and fruit trees could be planted.
After three years, the entire area would become a precious land of feng shui, and whatever was planted would become what it was.
In the current half a year, Wang Yan’s father would not be idle either.
A simple paved road that could take off-road vehicles, half man-made and half machine, half a year was more than enough.
But those miscellaneous matters, for the time being, had nothing to do with Wang Yan.
He bought a second-hand wrangler and threw it to his father, leaving his mother 2.3 million in cash. Wang Yan returned to school in a low-key manner.
When he left, it was Tuesday. When he came back, it was Saturday.
The reason why he came back on such a big weekend was because he was really urged by those girls.
Ye Yingying had been urging Wang Yan to review the design. If there were no problems, he had to prepare to start work
Wang Yan wanted to treat Wang Yan to a meal. He had already invited Wang Yan several times on WeChat
The above two things were considered serious matters, but not others.
Li Nuo enthusiastically invited Wang Yan to eat peaches.
Lu Yi worked hard at yoga every day. From time to time, he would send a photo for Wang Yan to comment on.
Bai Zijiao asked Wang Yan why he didn’t come to class.
Tian Tian expressed her concern.
He Miaomiao were craving for watermelons
Senior Li Shuyun repeatedly hinted that she was bored…
Really, Wang Yan finally understood why rich people stopped flirting– they really didn’t have the time!
They were even too busy being flirted by girls.
If one person chatted for a while, two hours passed without anyone noticing. Who could afford?
…
He did not pay attention to them. After returning to Star City, the first thing he did was asking to meet Ye Yingying.
About renovation, those who had done it would know. No matter how rich and how much he could let go, he had to worry about it, too.
This was especially the case for the hardware. If he didn’t confirm it beforehand and wasn’t satisfied with it afterwards, could he uninstall them after the work was done?
After taking a taxi to the parking lot opposite the lottery center to retrieve the Panamera, Wang Yan drove straight to Ruo Ye’s design studio.
After going to Ye Yingying’s office and looking at the new version of the blueprint, Wang Yan was extremely satisfied.
“Very good, let’s stick to the current blueprint.”
Chief Wang took out a signature pen and gave out a jujube.
“Sister Ye, I’m very satisfied with your capability and efficiency. You can prepare the contract now.”
“Thank you very much for your trust. Please rest assured, I will do this job according to the highest standards.”
Ye Yingying smiled like a blossoming lotus, gently and brightly.
The interior decoration order of six million was a big business for any design company.
When the contract was signed, the payment method and the deposit were carefully skimmed.
The final decision was: pay 30% in advance, allocate the funds according to the progress, set aside 10% of the deposit, and settle it after a year. During this period, repair for all the problems were guaranteed.
“For the next three months, I’ll have to trouble you.”
Pots and pans, household daily use, were all inexplicably written in the contract.
Wang Yan smiled very happily.
This lazy fellow, even the matter of the washing machine break down was prepared to be handed over to Ye Yingying.
“Those things really aren’t under the control of the designer… okay, just pay up!”
The young lady was particularly helpless, but facing party like Wang Yan, she could only accept it.
After the 180w was spent, Chief Wang stood up and was about to leave.
“Thank you for your hard work, we have a good cooperation!”
“Hey Hey, Young Master Wang, wait a moment.”
The young lady suddenly smiled mischievously. She bent down and took out a stack of documents from the drawer. With a smack, she slammed them on the table.
There were more than thirty blueprints.
“The original plan, wall modification, floor layout, floor material, ceiling… the entire set of blueprints are here. Wang Yan, thank you for your hard work. Let’s finish it today, okay?”
Wang Yan was dumbfounded.
“Sister Ye, you actually… Oh my god, aren’t you afraid that I won’t be satisfied with your blueprints?”
Ye Yingying blinked her eyes, “In fact, I didn’t do it for nothing. Am I right?”
If there were differences in the previous communication process, then these blueprints would be the trump card.
This was a woman who would work hard to the limit as long as she decided to do it.
Wang Yan really saluted her, so… fine, continue!
This lasted until six in the afternoon.
The gentle and soft-spoken big sister indeed made people feel very comfortable. However, when it came down to it, it was really unbearable.
But it wasn’t without benefits– today, Wang Yan’s work for the next month had basically been settled.
Next, the renovation could be done step by step, there wasn’t much need to trouble Wang Yan.
Finally it was done. Ye Yingying stood up and stretched her body, revealing her beautiful curves.
“Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal. Thank you for your trust in me.”
Chief Wang was energetic. He had not smelled meat for a week, and he was tickled by Ye Yingying’s figure.
Actually, there was nothing else today. He had a meal with a young lady who was eight years older than him. It was a feast for the eyes, and perhaps…
Anyway, it was pretty good.
Just as he was about to agree, suddenly he heard a voice from outside the office.
“Yingying, are you still working overtime?”
Immediately after that, there was knocking on the door.
The person pushed the door open and poked his head in. When he saw Wang Yan, he was stunned. Then, he said apologetically, “Sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that there were guests in the office. Sorry to disturb you.”
Then, he nodded to Ye Yingying, “We’ll talk about it later. Carry on with your thing.”
Ye Yingying said casually, “I’m just about to treat a client to a meal. Do you want to come along?”
“I don’t have much work to do.”
After the young man replied, he turned his head and smiled at Wang Yan. “Mr. Wang, right? I’m Ye Yingying’s partner, Chen Fangruo. Is it convenient to disturb you?”
Under the nervous gaze of the young man, Wang Yan’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly recalled two scenes.
One was the encounter in the corridor of the design studio.
The other was the background photo of ye Yingying’s Xiaomi’s phone when it was switched on. It was the Chen Fangruo in front of her.
Oh, Ye Yingying had a boyfriend?
Then let’s do it this way.
He stood up with a smile. “You guys chat. Unfortunately, I have something on today. Next time, it’s my treat.”
“Hey, Wang Yan…”
“Bye bye.”
Wang Yan waved his hand and turned around to leave.
I was not short of girls. What’s the point of having dinner with a married woman?
Not to destroy other people’s relationship was Wang Yan’s basic principle.
In life, comfort was the most important thing.
Never did things that would cause trouble for yourself.
Never interact with people who would cause trouble easily.
I had such attitude and I was so handsome.
Coincidentally, an hour ago, Wang Yan had just sent a message asking about the arrangements for the night. Fine, I would go to car 93 to collect the debt!
Wang Yan sat on the Panamera and sent a WeChat message. “The creditor is free now. Have you prepared the interest?”
Wang Yan replied, “I’ll order eight dishes and pack them up for you after eating. Is that enough?”
“That depends on what the dishes are.”
“What kind of dishes do you want?”
“I can’t tell….'”
“??? are all the god tier tycoons as enigmatic as you?”
“So where is your home? Send me the location and I’ll pick you up.”
After about 30 seconds, 93 finally sent over the location.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally gave up his privacy. How should he interpret it?
Wang Yan felt that there would be a story tonight, so he stepped on the accelerator at a steady pace.
I was not in a hurry!
…
Upstairs, Ye Yingying looked at the car lights that were getting further away and frowned.
“Fangruo, Wang Yan is just a child. After interacting with him a few times, I didn’t find any bad intentions or bad temper at all. I’ve always wanted to make a name for myself in the high-end Villa area. Wang Yan will be a very good breakthrough point.”
Chen fangruo spread his hands innocently, “I didn’t disagree. It’s just that he has a private matter, okay?”
Ye Yingying sighed. “Your gaze just now… was it too sensitive?”
“How am I sensitive? Wasn’t that carefully coaxing the big client?”
“You…”
Ye Yingying shook her head and held back the remaining half of the sentence in her heart. You’re not even as magnanimous as a child.
Chen Fangruo waited for a long time but didn’t hear anything else. She asked carefully, “Yingying, why not… I take over the renovation supervision for you?”
Ye Yingying didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re guarding against a child like you’re guarding against a thief. Is there a need for that?!”
Chen Fangruo hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the worry in his heart.
“That’s not an ordinary child. If it was just money, I wouldn’t care at all. But don’t you think that Young Master Wang is too handsome and has extraordinary temperament?”
Chen Fangruo also left half a sentence unsaid.
The first time I saw him, I felt a huge threat. That Kid is definitely a killer!
“I…”…
Ye Yingying was so angry that she was amused. She couldn’t deny that Wang Yan was handsome, so she could only ask, “Do you have so little confidence in me? Am I the kind of person who will pounce on anyone who is outstanding?”
Chen Fangruo coaxed, “I really didn’t mean that! Yingying, just let me supervise the work. You’re exhausted over the design…..”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll give it to you!”
Ye Yingying raised her hand in surrender and reminded.
“But be careful. We have earned a lot from this job, we have to ensure the quality.”
Chen Fangruo was overjoyed, “Don’t worry, there’s no problem!”
Supervising the renovation was a very simple matter. It didn’t need to be done every day. Moreover, the construction team would use familiar partners, so Ye Yingying didn’t have anything to worry about.
Thus, just as Wang Yan was completely unaware of it, the supervision was changed.
Although it wasn’t a big deal, thinking about it carefully, it was something to be proud of.
At the age of 19, he had scared off an adult to the point that he was afraid of anything. Didn’t that prove that Wang Yan was becoming more and more charming?
I didn’t have to flirt, but you had to be afraid of me.
The devil’s aura, was a little bit of training over the time.
Things that even Wang Siming couldn’t do, it did not mean that Wang Yan couldn’t do it.
At the age of 25, let’s see.
