    Chapter 249: Does He Lack That Little Bit of Money?

    “……”

    Even though Shen Fei knew there was such an opportunity before him, he had no intention of taking advantage of it.

    Mainly because he didn’t want to owe anyone any favors.

    Besides, it wasn’t necessary.

    Although he lacked the qualifications to start a real estate company, weren’t there plenty of inexpensive, qualified real estate companies in the Shenzhen market?

    With billions of RMB in his account, did he really need that little bit of extra money?

    Moreover, with Duan Uncle’s way of handling things, if the company were given to them, it was likely he wouldn’t ask for a single penny!

    Seeing the slight furrow in Shen Fei’s brow, Duan Guxiang immediately guessed what he was thinking.

    He hurriedly added,

    “Brother Fei, actually, there’s no need to overthink it. Given the current situation of that company, if my dad continues to manage it, it will go bankrupt sooner or later! Running a business requires a lot of money. This company is not only failing to make a profit but also losing money. If it were given to someone else for free, they wouldn’t even want it! So if we take over, my dad will definitely be grateful! We’ll be solving a big problem for him!”

    “Exactly! Brother Fei, Old Duan’s right! Although Duan Uncle might be a bit naive and has a lot of money, he wouldn’t keep pouring money into a useless company, right? If we take it over, it’s like turning waste into something useful!”

    Jiang Tiancheng quickly chimed in.

    They had already discussed this matter a few days ago when the three of them met.

    At first, Hu Yuantai and Jiang Tiancheng were hesitant about this approach, since buying a small shell company wouldn’t cost much.

    But after hearing Duan Guxiang explain the details of the company, they weren’t so concerned anymore.

    After all, the company under Duan Guoan’s name had become quite a burden.

    Even though Duan Guoan wasn’t short of money, watching the company deteriorate with no profit and continuous losses, anyone in his shoes would be ready to give up!

    Without this issue, Duan Guoan would likely have eventually shut the company down himself.

    But if they took it over, not only would they solve Duan Uncle’s problem, but they also wouldn’t need to go searching for the right company.

    It was a win-win!

    “Brother Fei, you don’t have to feel like you’re taking on a favor from Duan Uncle! For him, it’s a good opportunity to help Guxiang start his business and also get rid of a problem. So, we won’t owe him anything, and we’ll be able to take over the company with full legitimacy!”

    Hu Yuantai added.

    “Brother Fei, stop overthinking it. There’s this opportunity now, we should seize it!” Duan Guxiang urged eagerly.

    However, Shen Fei remained calm and collected as he sat.

    Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly reeled in his fishing line.

    Then, with a sharp tug, a five-kilogram grass carp came into view.

    Seeing Shen Fei skillfully reel in the fish, Hu Yuantai and Jiang Tiancheng were both stunned.

    They hadn’t expected Brother Fei to be such an expert at fishing.

    They never could have imagined it.

    In his past life, after Shen Fei became successful, he had gone through a phase where he was completely hooked on fishing.

    Many influential people sought him out just to witness his incredible fishing skills.

    Even after many high-ranking political figures retired, they would occasionally seek Shen Fei out.

    After all, fishing with him not only meant catching lots of fish but also enjoying the thrill of the sport.

    “Brother Fei, do you fish often?” Jiang Tiancheng asked, still in shock.

    “Not really, just occasionally!” Shen Fei replied with a faint smile.

    “Ah, I see!” Jiang Tiancheng, still somewhat dazed, nodded absentmindedly.

    On the side, Duan Guxiang, hearing this, could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

    They had been discussing serious matters, but now they were talking about fishing?

    Reluctantly, he spoke up,

    “Brother Fei, what do you think of the plan?”

    “Since you all are saying it, let’s do it that way!” Shen Fei replied as he cast his fishing line back into the artificial lake.

    “After that, you guys can move Duan Uncle’s company from Binhai City to Shenzhen. The procedures and processes will be up to the three of you!”

    “Got it! Since you’ve said it, Brother Fei, I’ll go ahead and do it! Once the company’s here in Shenzhen, we’ll find a location and rebuild, just using the shell!” Duan Guxiang, who had been worried about this matter, instantly brightened up.

    “Alright! You can do it! You three have been in business for a long time, you have real skills! So I’m very confident!” Shen Fei smiled and patted Duan Guxiang’s shoulder.

    “Compared to Brother Fei, we’re still lacking in many areas! Hahaha! But Brother Fei, I do have one question!”

    Hu Yuantai said humbly.

    “Go ahead!” Shen Fei responded.

    “Brother Fei, now that we’ve decided to enter the real estate business, where should we make our first move? The real estate market is in a bit of a transition right now, and the best locations are all held by other companies. There aren’t many good places left, and the bad ones aren’t worth investing in. Are we going to buy land from other companies?”

    Hu Yuantai asked, looking confused.

    Shen Fei smiled slightly and replied,

    “How could that be? Don’t forget, when I said we were entering the real estate business, I meant we’re focusing on high-end real estate! The land that those real estate companies hold might work for regular or mid-tier properties, but for high-end real estate, the conditions of their land just aren’t enough! In fact, even if they gave it to me for free, I’d still have to consider if it’s worth it! Real estate isn’t a quick way to make money. If a plot of land can’t make me hundreds of billions, I probably wouldn’t even consider it!”

    As soon as these words were spoken, the three people sitting on the sofa were frozen.

    A project that makes hundreds of billions…

    And if it doesn’t, he won’t even bother?

    If someone else had said this, they would have laughed out loud, thinking that person was overestimating themselves.

    But since it was Shen Fei who said it, not only did they not laugh…

    They actually found it incredibly reasonable???

    For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, unsure of what expression or action to make.

    Finally, Hu Yuantai cleared his throat and laughed,

    “Then, Brother Fei, where do you plan to make the first move?”

    Shen Fei calmed his expression, speaking firmly and powerfully,

    “Luohu Mountain!”
