Chapter 114 Seeking Guidance [Requesting Recommendation Tickets]

Cheng Yazhou stared blankly at Ge Dongxu like he was looking at a monster.

"What's wrong, Uncle Cheng? Is there a problem?" Ge Dongxu scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he asked.

"I'm beginning to suspect we've gotten our ages mixed up. You're forty-one this year, and I'm seventeen. Here I am, the uncle, and yet I'm not nearly as composed as you!" Cheng Yazhou said with a wry smile.

"Haha, Uncle, you've got it wrong. It's precisely because you're forty-one this year, you've been through more, you know the difficulties of making money, so you value it more. I'm still young, haven't gone through as much to earn money, so I can afford to be more detached," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"Are you trying to comfort your uncle, or are you trying to give him a hard time? Here I am, a teenager, suddenly making a few million while uncle has worked his whole half-life and if you count it all up, has merely amassed a fortune of around a million," Cheng Yazhou pointed at Ge Dongxu and said with a bitter smile.

"Hehe, didn't Uncle also have quite a few unpaid debts to collect, amounting to more than a million?" Ge Dongxu said with a laugh.

"Okay, Ge Dongxu, you don't care about making a few million, but you sure are clear about every dime of your uncle's money," Cheng Yazhou shook his head as he pointed at Ge Dongxu.

Having said that, Cheng Yazhou still couldn't stop thinking about the three million, and he brought the conversation back to that topic, saying, "What do you plan to do about Director Ma's side? Are you going to sell to him, or are you going to haggle over the price a bit more?"

Although Ge Dongxu spoke lightly, he actually valued money even more than Cheng Yazhou. The cost of cultivating could easily amount to tens of thousands of dollars in just one day, and as his cultivation improved, the financial demands would definitely increase significantly. So when Cheng Yazhou asked this question, Ge Dongxu bowed his head in thought.

To be honest, three million was incredibly tempting to him. After all, he had only invested four hundred and forty thousand, and in just over half a year's time, he could make over two million just by turning it over; any person would likely find it hard to resist such a temptation.

However, Ge Dongxu always felt it was too early to sell now, and he should withstand the temptation.

"Uncle Cheng, can you give me your phone? I'll give Old Lin a call. He does business on a larger scale and definitely has more foresight," Ge Dongxu thought for a while, and suddenly, an idea struck him, and he thought of Lin Jinnuo.

"Right, how could I have forgotten him!" Cheng Yazhou slapped his forehead and then handed his phone to Ge Dongxu.

Ge Dongxu smiled, took the phone, and then dialed Lin Jinnuo's number.

Lin Jinnuo was in his office, smoking one cigarette after another, feeling very annoyed.

He had thought that with inside information, he would surely make a good profit, but he didn't expect the county government to pull such a move, catching him off guard and making him watch helplessly as a great moneymaking opportunity slipped away.

While Lin Jinnuo was wallowing in his annoyance, his phone rang. He didn't want to answer it, but seeing that it displayed Cheng Yazhou's number and knowing Cheng Yazhou's close relationship with Ge Dongxu, he didn't dare to neglect it and hurriedly picked up.

"Old Lin, it's me, Dongxu," Lin Jinnuo had just answered the call when he heard Ge Dongxu's voice through the receiver.

As soon as Lin Jinnuo heard Ge Dongxu's voice, his displeased mood was immediately cast to the back of his mind. Lin Jinnuo had built his business empire from scratch, commanding a vast family business in Changxi County and holding sway over both the legitimate and underground worlds naturally endowed him with exceptional abilities.

Ever since he witnessed Ge Dongxu's miraculous medical skills in the hospital, Lin Jinnuo had been resolute in forging a relationship with him. The events of the recent period only added weight to this resolve, so the moment he received a call from Ge Dongxu, he promptly cast aside all emotional baggage and hurriedly said with a laugh, "You calling me is like the sun rising from the west. Is there anything you need to instruct me to do?"

"You're the big boss; I wouldn't dare to tell you what to do. I do, however, have some matters I'd like to consult you about," Ge Dongxu said quickly with humility.

"You are my life-saving benefactor and my son's mentor. It's absolutely an honor for me to do something for you. Ask me anything you need to know. I'll definitely spare no detail in response. As for the words 'consult,' please don't mention that again, or I'll get angry," Lin Jinnuo said.

No one dislikes hearing kind words, and Lin Jinnuo's were especially sincere. Despite being only a youth, Ge Dongxu found the praise quite gratifying, momentarily feeling a bit carried away. However, he soon realized that his proud emotions were unwarranted, for he was still just a young man. Compared to his mentor back in the day, he had much to learn and truly had no grounds for pride.

"There is no sequence of study; those who excel are teachers. You're an influential figure in the business world of Changxi County, and I am but a newcomer. In this matter, I naturally have to ask for your advice," Ge Dongxu said, putting aside his pride and speaking earnestly.

Lin Jinnuo, being someone adept at discerning truth from words and tone, especially, felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this, finding Ge Dongxu to be an incredibly rare kind of young man.

Despite his youth, he harbored Mysterious Arts. When faced with admiration from adults, he displayed neither arrogance nor rashness, but humility and steadiness.

"Since you put it that way, I, Old Lin, will take the liberty this time. Tell me, what matter would you like to consult about?" Lin Jinnuo asked.

"It's about the Jiang family village land!" Ge Dongxu said.

"Speaking of the Jiang family village land, as a newcomer, you're really slapping the face of us old-timers in the business community!" Upon hearing this, a self-deprecating smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Jinnuo's face.

"That was just a fortunate blunder," Ge Dongxu replied modestly.

"Ha ha, you don't need to be modest about that. When it comes to setting up a factory in the Jiang family village, why is it that only you knew how to invest? That's ability and vision," Lin Jinnuo countered.

"Let's not talk about that. Now there's a real estate developer from Ouzhou City who wants to buy my piece of land for three million. What do you think?" Ge Dongxu said with an embarrassed laugh, not humbling himself further. Of course, he also didn't feel it was right to tell Lin Jinnuo that he was interested in the Feng Shui of the Jiang family village, and that he needed a large amount of capital, which is why he was investing in that piece of land.

"Three million, by current standards, is definitely not low. After all, even if you're to build the county government office building, that still takes time. If you plan to wait, it would mean you are holding three million in capital there. If you cash out now, it's like having three million in funds to continue investing in other areas. This must be taken into consideration. Of course, the key still lies in the exact location of your land—if the location is good, then the potential for appreciation is significant, and the appreciation could far exceed the profits generated from investing the three million in other industries. However, I am not yet clear about the exact location of your land," Lin Jinnuo said thoughtfully.

Three million was a huge sum for Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin, enough to nearly make their eyes pop out, but Lin Jinnuo was a big boss. Although he was also surprised by the number, he did not make a big fuss over it.
