"It was you who said it would definitely make money, that's why we believed you. Now that the land isn't appreciating, you have to return the money. Moreover, if we sell this land now, we've calculated that we'll lose at least forty percent!" Liu Ziping said coldly.
"How can you do this?" Yu Yan asked indignantly.
"You have money and can afford to lose it, but what about us?" Yu Yuhua started playing the victim. "Do you know that to invest in this land, we sold everything we had? Now, when we eat, we can't even afford a piece of meat. Look at what you're eating, fish and meat, but us..."
As she spoke, Yu Yuhua started crying. This also moved Yu Dahai. After all, she was his sister, and he couldn't just ignore her. He sighed, "Alas, I will return all the money to you, but give me some time."
"Fine, you said it!" Yu Yuhua stopped crying. "I'll give you only half a day!"
"Dad, so much money..." Yu Yan wanted to say something.
Yu Dahai shook his head, signaling Yu Yan not to say anything more. After finally appeasing these relatives, they stopped causing a scene and chose to leave. However, they only gave him half a day. If the money wasn't produced within half a day, they would likely cause a major commotion again.
"Dahai, you've also invested a lot of money, and quite a few shareholders are causing trouble for you. If you have to pay them now, what will happen to the company?" Guo Liqiao asked with a worried expression.
Yu Dahai sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time."
Li Se seemed to think of something and smiled, "Uncle, if you trust me, then buy back all this land."
"Oh?" Yu Dahai looked at Li Se with some surprise.
"Li Se, do you have a way?" Yu Yan asked excitedly.
"I happen to know Yao Jingtai," Li Se said with a smile.
"You... what did you say? You know Chairman Yao?" Yu Dahai was greatly astonished.
"Uncle, if you trust me, then use all the money to acquire your relatives' shares," Li Se said.
"Alright!" Although Yu Dahai had doubts, he was going to compensate his relatives anyway. As for whether this land could be developed, it was entirely up to fate.
Half a day passed quickly. Yu Dahai managed to gather nearly twenty million and compensated all his relatives.
"Brother, don't blame us. This matter was originally your fault for being unfair. This is the share of the land, and now it all belongs to you." Liu Ziping took out the contract and handed it to Yu Dahai.
After the transaction, the ownership of the Yan Shui land became Yu Dahai's. Buying the entire plot of land put him under immense pressure. The company's shareholders already had strong opinions about investing in this land. Now, with no prospect of appreciation, he had to spend money to acquire the whole piece of land, which was a losing business.
"Dad, how did the company's shareholders agree?" Yu Yan asked curiously.
Yu Dahai said with a wry smile, "If this land doesn't appreciate within a month, I will resign as chairman."
Yu Yan and Guo Liqiao's expressions changed upon hearing this. They wanted to say something but ultimately said nothing. It was difficult to expect this land to appreciate.
However, Yu Yan still believed in Li Se. She asked, "Li Se, do you have a way?"
"Just invite Yao Jingtai for a meal, and you'll know," Li Se smiled. Furthermore, his Yuan Feng Group was a developer. However, Yuan Feng Group already had ongoing projects. Developing this Yan Shui land alone would still be somewhat challenging.
Yu Dahai was shocked, "You... you can really invite Chairman Yao?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded and then called Yao Jingtai to arrange a dinner at Yi Pin Ju.
"Thank you!" Yu Dahai knew this was an opportunity and thanked Li Se profusely.
Xia Shuyu and Lin Wenxiu naturally did not accompany them. Only Yu Dahai, Li Se, and Yu Yan went together to Yi Pin Ju.
However, as soon as they reached the entrance, they encountered Liu Ziping and Yu Yuhua. These relatives had smiles on their faces, clearly happy to have gotten their money back. They just hadn't expected to meet Yu Dahai at Yi Pin Ju.
"Brother, why are you here?" Yu Yuhua asked doubtfully. In her opinion, Yu Dahai should be experiencing financial difficulties, possibly even selling his car or house. How could he be here for a meal at Yi Pin Ju?
Yu Dahai frowned, feeling a little displeased, but didn't say much.
"Alas!" Liu Ziping sighed. "Brother, how about this, you eat with us. Don't worry, this meal is on us."
"No need," Yu Dahai shook his head.
Soon, Yu Dahai, Li Se, and Yu Yan entered Yi Pin Ju.
"I have a feeling something is strange," Yu Yuhua said.
"What's strange?" Liu Ziping asked, confused.
"Look, I previously understood my brother's company's financial situation. Logically speaking, after compensating us nearly twenty million now, where would he get the money to dine here so lavishly?" Yu Yuhua said.
"You mean..." Liu Ziping was still confused.
Yu Yuhua analyzed, "Perhaps there's a turning point in things."
"What turning point could there be? That land has no room for appreciation. We got our money back, so we should just eat and drink well," the other relatives didn't think that far.
Yu Yuhua thought it made sense and smiled, "Let's go to Brother's private room later. After all, he's in a difficult situation now."
"Okay!" Liu Ziping nodded.
In the most luxurious private room at Yi Pin Ju, Yao Jingtai stood up to greet Li Se upon his arrival. "Divine Doctor Li, I'm honored that you've invited me to dinner!"
Yu Dahai was utterly shocked. In fact, he had been somewhat apprehensive when entering this private room, always feeling that knowing Yao Jingtai was unlikely. It wasn't until he saw Yao Jingtai at this moment that he believed Li Se truly knew Yao Jingtai.
Yu Yan was also surprised, looking at Li Se with a hint of wonder in her beautiful eyes.
"Sit, sit, everyone," Yao Jingtai said hurriedly.
After sitting down, Li Se explained the general situation and added, "Chairman Yao, this time I mainly want to ask for your help to develop the Yan Shui land together with Yuan Feng Group. In return, the Tian Shui project of Yuan Feng Group can be developed with you."
Yao Jingtai quickly waved his hand upon hearing this. "Divine Doctor Li, how can that be? I will definitely help. As for jointly developing the Tian Shui project, there's no need. Divine Doctor Li saved my daughter, and this is the least I can do. Besides, I already wanted to develop this Yan Shui land when investing in Qingyun City before."
"Then thank you," Li Se smiled.
Yu Dahai was amazed again. The matter was resolved just like that? And he could see that Yao Jingtai was very respectful of Li Se. This was the richest man in Hong Kong! He, such an important figure, usually couldn't even get an audience.
Creak!
It was at this moment that the door to the private room was opened, and Yu Yuhua and Liu Ziping walked in. Yu Yuhua was still holding a bottle of red wine and said with a smile, "Brother, knowing you're in financial straits now, I specially brought a bottle of red wine..."
"Chairman... Chairman Yao?" Liu Ziping on the side exclaimed.
