Su Ping Nan gestured for the waiter to leave, then pointed at the leader of the group of tough guys, indicating their random men.
Seeing Su Ping Nan's serious demeanor, they all obediently let their men leave.
Su Ping Nan had Su Wen Wen guard the door of the private room and calmly unfurled the Changyang County map, placing it on the table.
“Changyang County, including all its townships, covers a total of 3540 square kilometers.”
He glanced at the bewildered group, then continued, “Do you know what the most valuable thing in our Changyang is?”
Everyone shook their heads. Changyang County had no energy resources, no famous companies, only hundreds of thousands of farmers and mountains of rocks.
Su Ping Nan smiled, “What do we have the most of?” Li Bing, who was in the transportation business, thought for a moment and said uncertainly, “Rocks. Our Changyang’s Bluestone Mountain is very famous. During the construction boom in the 60s, roads in Tiannan Province almost all used our stones.”
Su Ping Nan smiled mysteriously, “Who said construction doesn’t need them anymore?”
As soon as he spoke, everyone, being astute individuals, immediately had fiery gazes.
Su Ping Nan pointed at Changyang County on the map, “Thirty-seven open-pit mines, forty-two medium-sized mines, not to mention the smaller ones. They are all collectively owned by the various brigades now. They’re incredibly cheap. If we can get through to the county officials, we’ll essentially be holding a gold mine.”
Gold mine wasn’t an exaggeration. In Su Ping Nan’s later life, Changyang County alone produced dozens of millionaires in the stone industry. However, everyone was fiercely competitive, making profits thin. Su Ping Nan, with his sharp eyes, planned to take advantage of the situation and seize the juiciest part of this cake.
Hong Ye, the most experienced and widely connected among them, carefully examined the map before slowly looking up. “Little Red Robe, are you sure about this confidential information?”
Su Ping Nan looked at Hong Ye, leisurely lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
“There are seventy-nine mines. I can’t eat them all alone. So I chose you. Whether you believe me or not, I won’t explain.”
Li Bing also looked straight at Su Ping Nan, “What’s your meaning?”
“First option, I put in 7.5 million, the five of you put in 2.5 million. We register a ten-million-level stone company, acquire these seventy-nine stone mountains, I take 65% of the shares, and you get 35%.”
“What about the second option?”
“I want 50 of them, you divide the rest. I’ll handle the sales, you handle the paperwork and all the issues.”
Hong Ye looked up at the young man, who was like a ferocious tiger, and gently said, “Such a grand scheme. You have the capital to take it all, why share the cake with us?”
Su Ping Nan laughed, “Sometimes eating alone can be fatal.”
Hong Ye stared at Su Ping Nan, remaining silent for a long time. Su Ping Nan was not in a hurry. He leisurely stared back at Hong Ye, his gaze firm and fierce.
“The second option, you take half.”
Su Ping Nan smirked, his tone cold, “Are you sure?”
Hong Ye sighed. This young man’s brilliance was too sharp. It was better to explain things clearly.
“This information is very valuable, Little Red Robe.”
“Keep talking. I want to hear your reasons for daring to bargain with me.” Su Ping Nan’s face was calm, his ruthlessness evident in his words.
“However, the news will definitely leak out by next March at the latest. This is a huge undertaking, it can’t be hidden.”
“Continue.”
“Your foundation is too shallow. Even if we don’t know, once the news spreads, how much can you secure in such a short time?”
Su Ping Nan smiled inwardly. Old foxes were indeed wise. Even with him setting the rhythm, he was still seen through by this old fox.
“Most importantly, you can’t eat alone, and neither can we. We have to leave some for them.”
Hong Ye pointed at the sky and quietly waited for Su Ping Nan’s decision.
Su Ping Nan called out to the door, “Wen Wen, come in and pour some wine.”
Su Wen Wen pushed open the door with a blank expression and poured full glasses one by one.
Su Ping Nan laughed, “Cooperation is pleasant. We’ll discuss the details in three days when I come back.”
Hong Ye, Li Bing, and the others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way around it. Little Red Robe was too strong. They felt suffocated by his dominance.
Su An Xi suddenly decided that Xi Nan Nan was annoying. She had already asked her at least ten times when her second brother would come.
Patiently accompanying her old Uncle Jiu, Su An Xi rolled her eyes at Xi Nan Nan.
Did she steal my second brother? Su An Xi increasingly felt she had made a wrong decision.
“Girl, you’ve lost weight.”
Su An Xi turned her head. Her second brother was there, smiling quietly. For a moment, she didn’t know why, but she felt like crying.
......
Leaving the restaurant, the leftovers were bought. Su Jian Guo, unwilling to waste food, packed up the remaining dishes, a satisfied smile on his face. As he saw Su An Xi off, Su Ping Nan sat in the Benz car, his face calm, watching the snow flying past.
“Wen Wen, find a suitable person to replace you for the Ertai Town matter. Talk to them in a few days.”
“Okay.”
“Changyang County is too small. With us here, there won’t be enough to go around.”
“Wen Wen understands.”
Su Ping Nan turned his head and looked at Su Wen Wen seriously, “When the sea is turbulent, heroes emerge. To survive is to be a hero.”
Su Ping Nan’s wolfish nature was gradually being imprinted on every one of his followers. Su Ping Nan believed that Changyang County would be the best whetstone.
