Huang Yongping gathered more than ten people after school and headed towards his restaurant.
Zhan Lingfeng naturally followed along; even if he returned a bit late, it wouldn't be a problem.
When they arrived at the restaurant, indeed, there weren't many diners; only one table was eating. Seeing Huang Yongping come in with so many people, the owner was taken aback. After Huang Yongping explained the situation and handed over Zhan Lingfeng's one hundred yuan, he immediately became enthusiastic.
Sitting inside this small shop, when Zhan Lingfeng looked outside, he noticed that there were many similar small restaurants around. Some had many customers, while others had few.
It seemed that if one wanted to do business, it should be done on a larger scale!
While the classmates were lively inside, Zhan Lingfeng excused himself to go to the restroom and walked outside towards a nearby toilet.
In this restaurant, one had to leave to use the restroom, which made Zhan Lingfeng feel awkward.
As he was walking, Zhan Lingfeng saw the Jiang Sisters and Brother Xiong approaching from this direction.
These people really weren't afraid of being talked about!
At a glance, he noticed that Brother Xiong looked quite displeased, Jiang Yuxian also had a grim expression, while Jiang Li appeared relatively unchanged.
"Brother Xu!"
Jiang Li spotted Zhan Lingfeng and was pleasantly surprised.
Jiang Yuxian also looked up and saw Zhan Lingfeng. She forced a smile and said, "Xu, where are you going? I just saw that your yard is starting renovations."
"Yes, I found a renovation team that is currently working on it. We will be neighbors soon, haha."
Zhan Lingfeng also smiled.
It was obvious that Brother Xiong had learned some details about him from Jiang Yuxian. He changed his demeanor and actively shook Zhan Lingfeng's hand, saying, "You must be Zhan Lingfeng. I've heard about your situation from Jiang Yuxian. It's impressive! You're only in the third year of junior high, yet you went to City to sell Soft-shelled Turtles all by yourself and made quite a bit of money. I heard you even contracted a lot of land in the village. Are you planning to do something big?"
"This is Brother Xiong; his name is He Zhenxiong. He is the Executive Deputy Township Head in the Countryside," Jiang Yuxian introduced him, her special expression making Zhan Lingfeng's heart flutter as he recalled the moment he playfully slapped her on the backside; it felt really nice.
"Brother Xu, aren't you going back to the village?" Jiang Li asked.
"I'm treating my classmates to dinner today, so I'll head back later."
At this point, Zhan Lingfeng felt a spark of inspiration and looked at He Zhenxiong, saying, "Brother Xiong, I actually want to ask you about something."
"Go ahead," He Zhenxiong replied. After hearing about Zhan Lingfeng from Jiang Yuxian, he was initially skeptical. However, after visiting the village and listening to everyone's accounts, he no longer dared to underestimate this student and treated him as an equal.
"Here's the thing: while having dinner today, I suddenly had an idea. I want to acquire a piece of land in the Countryside to open a moderately sized Restaurant. I'm not sure what procedures I need to follow."
He Zhenxiong immediately became interested and asked, "What are your plans?"
"I plan to learn from those people in City—create a large Yard-like space with individual rooms built for dining. Besides eating, people can also play cards and enjoy entertainment. The service should be better too, and we can introduce some specialty dishes."
He Zhenxiong was responsible for attracting investment and had been troubled by this issue recently. The village lacked distinctive features, making it very difficult to attract investment. If they could really establish such a Restaurant, it would be considered an achievement; he just wasn't sure how large it would be.
"Countryside has quite a few favorable policies in this regard. If you're interested, how big are you thinking of making it?"
"I'm thinking of a few acres, building some bungalows without spending too much money, training some service staff, hiring some cooks, and putting effort into management. Let's try it out with an initial investment of one million."
One million?
He Zhenxiong's eyes lit up. For Countryside, one million is not a small amount. He asked in confusion, "Can you come up with one million?"
"Of course, I can't come up with that much right now. However, as you may have heard, I've established quite a few businesses in the village. I will gradually invest more, and it won't take long to reach that amount. If Countryside has any favorable policies, my costs will be lower."
What He Zhenxiong valued most was the scale of Zhan Lingfeng's Restaurant. What he needed most now was a highlight, something that could attract attention. Since Zhan Lingfeng planned to open a sizable Restaurant, this was exactly what he needed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The land issue is easy to solve. I might be able to help you secure a plot. The land prices in Countryside are not high right now; you can get five acres for about fifty thousand."
Zhan Lingfeng was taken aback at first but then felt relieved. The land prices haven't gone up during this period, and since this is still Countryside, the prices wouldn't be too high—he considered it a good deal.
Zhan Lingfeng even had an idea to do nothing for now and just hold onto the land for a few years.
"Is there a Construction Team that can quickly help me build the houses?"
"I happen to know some people; let me ask around."
While speaking, He Zhenxiong took out his phone and made a call. The Motorola phones had just started appearing, but they were still rare.
After making several calls, He Zhenxiong said, "For your type of single-story brick-wood structure with simple decoration, the cost would be about two hundred yuan per square meter. For one thousand square meters, it would be around twenty thousand."
"That's so cheap!"
Zhan Lingfeng was once again astonished by the prices of this era and immediately said, "Brother Xiong, I’ll trouble you with this matter. If it can be done, I would like to invest in this project."
He Zhenxiong was also pleased, not expecting Zhan Lingfeng to be so proactive. He quickly replied, "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it for you tomorrow and will strive to secure a good policy."
"Thank you, Brother Xiong. I will definitely reward you handsomely once it's done."
"What are you thanking me for? I should be the one thanking you for helping me solve a difficult problem, ha ha."
After finishing the conversation, Zhan Lingfeng bid farewell and returned to the small restaurant.
Upon seeing Zhan Lingfeng come back, his classmates called out and urged him to sit down.
Looking at these classmates, Zhan Lingfeng felt a sense of nostalgia; he realized that he had rarely interacted with them before.
"Your dishes have all been served. Enjoy your meal."
Huang Yongping was a beautiful woman who truly caught the eye.
Of course, Zhan Lingfeng viewed women from an adult's perspective, while those younger students did not feel much; their gazes were directed towards several attractive girls in the class.
