Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal Chapter 230

Chapter 230 - A Two Billion Yuan Land

Hong Dali had always been playful and nonchalant about money. As his number one lackey, Ling Xiaoyi naturally couldn’t feign compliance towards him.

She could report about it, and it was fine regardless of how Hong Tu wanted to study into how to earn money, but she definitely couldn’t make decisions on her own.

“Hehe, I understand.” Hong Tu was indeed a shrewd elderly, he understood very quickly. “What you mean is, we can study into it or start up some small transactions in those areas at the corner where he doesn’t care about, but we can’t touch the main part of it, right? For instance, for this theme park, before Dali agrees, these stores or whatnot cannot be opened, right?”

“Yes.” With Hong Tu being so kind and considerate, Ling Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed. “That’s what I mean. Please understand, Old Elder.”

“Haha, don’t mention it.” Hong Tu smiled and said, “We’d originally only intended to do a simple analysis on where Dali earns money from. As for the actual actions taken… To put it this way, it’s not that I’m boasting, but I really don’t care about an amusement park worth just tens of millions. There’s no problem with him playing around with it as he pleases. For your side, feel free to speak up if you need any assistance from my side.”

“In that case, thank you, Old Elder.” Ling Xiaoyi said gratefully.

“Well, ok, then let’s continue. Xiaoyi, did Dali say anything else? By moving the theme park over here,” Hong Tu said strangely. “what about Big Turtle, the Black Tortoise’s side? We have quite a number of parks and amusement parks in our Tianjing City, and their scales are not small as well. Without the Black Tortoise holding the fort there, he can’t reach the peak of popularity.”

“Young Master,” Ling Xiaoyi put it rather simply. “intends to use a roller coaster to transport the tourists to and from the outer area of Tianjing Mountain to Fengyuan Lake…”

“What?!” Hong Tu was once again caught by surprise. “That little prodigal plans to attract customers using the roller coaster? Oh my goodness, how long would the tracks be?!”

Mu Yuxi’s face was full of shock as well.

She knew that Hong Dali squandered a lot and was a superprodigal, but she didn’t think he would be so generous with his money!

Using a roller coaster to transport tourists from the outer area of Tianjing Mountain to Fengyuan Lake? How big of an investment would that be! And he dared to say that Tianjing Mountain amusement park would be free of charge?

“Uh…” Ling Xiaoyi’s forehead was soaked with sweat as well. “Young Master still thinks this is not generous enough…”

“If he’s any more generous, he’d have to invest more than 100 million…” Hong Tu felt more shocked the more he heard about Hong Dali. Just then, he spotted Tang Muxin sitting at a side throughout and watching the few of them having a conference while grinning. Thus, he smiled and asked, “The Tang Family’s little lass, why aren’t you speaking and just sitting there smiling? Do you have any opinions regarding this matter?”

Though Hong Tu was already old, his memory was not too bad. Thus, he naturally would not forget Tang Muxin’s identity.

“Big Grandfather,” Tang Muxin smiled as she walked over. The little lass mimicked Hong Dali as she sniffled and said, “Actually, I’m not worried at all. Dali will definitely have good luck. The key is, why is he spending money like that, I don’t understand as well!”

“This…” Hong Tu and Mu Yuxi were totally despondent. For now, they couldn’t understand with their intelligence level why Hong Dali had started up all these. Could he by any chance really be a squanderer? If it were purely because he wanted to squander, then he would have lived so long in vain!

However, a thought suddenly came to Hong Tu’s mind, as he thought of an extremely crucial figure.

His fifth son, Hong Weiguo!

As the saying went, a father understands his son better than anyone else. The generation gap made it a little difficult for him to understand, but what about Hong Weiguo? It was impossible that he wouldn’t have any idea too, right?

Thinking up there, Hong Tu hurriedly made arrangements with his assistant. “Quickly, go and call Weiguo over.”

“Yes, Old Elder.”

After about five minutes, Hong Weiguo arrived. He smiled and said, “Dad, is anything the matter?”

“Sit down, and get him a laptop.” Hong Tu pointed at the seat beside him. After Hong Weiguo had joined in the video conferencing as well, Hong Tu then said, “Xiaoyi, explain to Weiguo about that zoo that Dali started up. We’ll see if he has any ideas.”

Ling Xiaoyi then told Hong Weiguo about Hong Dali wanting to set up a zoo. A while after Hong Weiguo had heard about it, he frowned and touched his chin, mumbling. “This brat wants to start up an amusement park? En, it’s at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, right?”

“Correct.” Hong Tu nodded. “Weiguo, what do you think?”

“I can’t tell what exactly is going on, too. This brat has always been exaggerated with his way of squandering.” Hong Weiguo helplessly shrugged his shoulders. “Moreover, he never acts in a predictable manner. Normally, what we think and what he thinks is completely different. Even if we crack our brains from thinking, we will never figure it out.”

Towards the end, he didn’t forget to add, “My secretary Xiao Liu has thrown away all his logical thinking, or else he’d be left with a very short life.”

“This…” Hong Tu was stunned beyond words. “Then, we’ll just wait here and do nothing?”

“That won’t be the case.” After all, he was definitely the biological father. Hong Weiguo still understood his position rather well. “I know of one thing, which is that we needn’t worry about those things started up by Dali. We just need to try our best in settling all those small issues on the corners and sides, and that would definitely not go wrong.”

“What you mean is…” Hong Tu asked.

“What I mean is very simple.” Hong Weiguo violently slapped the map and smiled and said, “Doesn’t Dali like this outer area of Tianjing Mountain? Let’s expand the map, then. Circle all the mountains and the large plot of land outside at the side of the road, then we’ll just need to throw all of those there by then.”

“It’s that simple?!” Hong Tu was truly shocked.

Mu Yuxi was also tongue-tied as she listened from the side.

Just like that? Dali’s side squanders, and his dad assists in that?! I must have woken up the wrong way today, this is the first time I’ve heard of this!

“It’s that simple.” Hong Weiguo roared with laughter. “Dad, do you know how I managed to purchase that land of mine for 1.2 billion? Back then, it was exactly because Dali seemed to rather enjoy playing around with housing estates, and just then, he seemed to be in a good mood during that period that his body started to slowly recover. Afterward, in order to grant his wishes, I bought some pieces of land, and I kept them in case he may need it. In the end, you know what happened…”

“You’re saying that you bought those pieces of land entirely because that little brat Dali liked them?!” Hong Tu finally understood…

After such a long time, it turned out that the land was bought just to make Hong Dali happy!

“Yes.” Hong Weiguo nodded his head. “Looking at it now, our little prodigal is planning to expand the territory. So… Dad, don’t you plan to spend some money on that?”

“Let me think…” Hong Tu stroked his mustache. Upon a closer look at the map, the more he looked, the more sense it made. “En, there’s nothing here apart from a highway. The surroundings are all pieces of barren land, it would definitely be cheap to buy them now. But Weiguo, do you really dare to guarantee that there won’t be losses suffered?”

“I can’t guarantee this.” Hong Weiguo shrugged his shoulders. “It’s doing business, after all—losses and gains are very normal. What I mean is that it isn’t expensive over here now anyway. Even if we abandon it thereafter, we won’t suffer many losses. What if our Dali can really create miracles?”

“Alright.” Hong Tu thought for a while again and suddenly roared with laughter. “Look at me, this old thing, I get more cowardly the more I live. En, it’s settled. I’ll get someone to negotiate over this piece of land tomorrow. After I’ve bought it…”

Hong Weiguo directly decided. “Once it’s bought over, it’ll directly be under Dali’s name! Anyway, it’s a barren piece of land, he can play around with it as he pleases. We’ll just do what we ought to do.”

“En, Weiguo, in that case, how big an area should be acquired?” Hong Tu asked.

“The area? Let me see…” Hong Weiguo carefully looked at the map again. “This entire piece, all of the entire big piece of barren land from the outer area of Tianjing Mountain to Fengyuan Lake. Dad, how much do you think it’ll cost?”

“Such a big piece?!” Hong Tu stared in bewilderment. “This is almost the size of a county town! You’re asking me to buy such a big piece of barren land?! Even if it’s barren land, such a big piece would need two billion and above! From what I heard from you, I’d only expected it to be the roadside!”

This was really huge spending. Mu Yuxi, listened from the side, was already completely speechless.

Just for a park set up by Hong Dali, and two billion and above would be thrown into it at once…

“Aiya, Dad. Look, it isn’t as if our Hong Family can’t fork out this amount of money, right? Moreover, it’s all immovable property, we can’t throw it away, anyway.” As expected, they were father and son. Hong Weiguo was smiling as craftily as Hong Dali by now. “With the country’s policy on developing the West Fourth Loop, there definitely won’t be any loss. Currently, the only difference is how much money this piece of land can bring us. To state a lesser amount, that would be 100 to 200 million, and to state a greater amount, it could be one to two billion. Anyway, it won’t suffer any losses, so what do you have to be afraid of? It can earn money and make your big grandson happy at the same time, how great would that be?”

“En, it’s true that it won’t cause any losses.” Hong Tu stroked his mustache. Alas, he could only agree. This son of his had always been firm, and thus, it seemed that he would have to agree no matter what today. However…

“Sigh, you rascal.” Hong Tu laughed while he scolded. “For Dali’s sake, you’ve even set a trap for me as well. Very well, I’ve locked those few lackeys of Dali’s as punishment previously when Dali was at the family meeting, and now you’ve gotten a two billion yuan piece of land for him.”

Speaking up to this point, Hong Tu wanted to cry but couldn’t. In the future, I won’t care about Hong Dali anymore, or this little amount of assets that I have will all be completely wiped out!

Upon hearing Hong Tu’s words, Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi burst out laughing, and a smile appeared on Mu Yuxi’s cold face.

Actually, this Old Elder Hong Tu was very adorable once he joked.

“Hahaha.” Hong Weiguo laughed for a few times dryly, and soon after, he decisively left. “Dad, I won’t talk anymore. When Dali’s free, I’ll ask him to visit you. I’ll go back first, I’ll go back first! You just need to put it under Dali’s name after you’ve bought the land. It’s up to him on how he wants to play around with it, you needn’t worry about it.”

“Quickly get lost, you little rascal.” Hong Tu was so angry that his mustache started trembling. “That little prodigal Dali wanted neither the privilege of the family’s Rookie King of the Year nor the funds. I was originally still happy that I’d saved some money from there, but soon after, two billion are gone…”

But talk was just that, talk. Hong Tu was still in agreement with Hong Weiguo’s suggestion.

A father understood his son more than anyone else. Since Hong Weiguo had asked him to purchase the land, naturally, he was optimistic that it definitely wouldn’t cause any losses. In fact, just by thinking about it, currently, as long as it was land in the West Fourth Loop, it definitely wouldn’t decrease in value.

“I have to squander; otherwise, won’t it be a waste of my parent’s talent at earning money?” Hong Dali answers a reporter’s question matter-of-factly.

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System’s interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, “I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I’ll have to work harder!”

“I want to splurge! I want to squander!”
