Yang Dongshen was stunned at first, but then he realized something was off. At the same time, he secretly praised Zhou Hao's thoughtful thinking.
Those Japanese people had suffered greatly this time, they must have some resentment towards Zhou Hao.
Although he did not completely eliminate the possibility of Yang Dongshen cooperating with them, there would still be consequences.
And now that Yang Dongshen knew that Gao Houlu was the mayor of Xiang City, the effect of him introducing himself to Kazuo Koike was much better.
"Then I'll depend on Mayor Gao." Yang Dongshen smiled at Gao Houlu, and at the same time threw him an appreciative look.
He thought that if he could really recruit Zhou Hao as his son-in-law, it would be extremely beneficial to the development of his Yang Family.
However, Gao Houlu was a little hesitant, because he did not understand Yang Dongshen well. If he were to personally introduce him to Kazuo Koike, it would be equivalent to branding Yang Dongshen with the seal of the government.
Thinking of this, Gao Houlu couldn't help but blame himself for Zhou Hao for being too reckless.
Zhou Hao then laughed at Gao Houlu, "Uncle Gao, please don't scold me in your heart.
I'm not here to drag you down. Although Uncle Yang's Bao He Group doesn't have a great reputation, but that doesn't mean they don't have the strength. Bao He Group has billions of assets.
If Uncle Yang can form a partnership with Kazuo Koike and the others, he will definitely invest in our Xiang City.
Having his thoughts exposed by Zhou Hao, Gao Houlu blushed a little, afraid that Yang Dongshen would have some grudge towards him.
He hurriedly scolded with a smile: "Xiao Hao, where did you say it was? As long as it's something that's brought about the country's development, what does it matter how big the business is?"
Yang Dongshen had been in the business for many years, and had interacted with many people from the government. He immediately took out a piece of information from Yang Xiaoguo's hands and gave it to him.
"Mayor Gao, this is the information for our Treasure and Group. You can take a look."
Gao Houlu took the information and looked at it, and the expression on his face immediately changed. He originally thought that Zhou Hao saying that Bao He Group had billions of assets was just exaggerated words.
But if what was written was true, then the treasure and the group's total assets would be tens of billions of dollars, and that wasn't even raised by going public.
Lifting his eyes to look at Yang Dongshen who was still smiling, Gao Houlu thought to himself that this was indeed a man of truth.
If he could work together for them, then the benefits would also be very good.
"Director Yang, you are being too courteous, since Xiao Hao is the one who recommended us, how can I not help?" Gao Houlu said with a beaming smile.
The reason he expressed that he was helping Yang Dongshen was not because of the treasure or the assets of the Group, but because of Zhou Hao.
After chatting for a while, everyone followed Gao Houlu and went up to the government building.
Yan Tong pulled Zhou Hao's hand and whispered: "Xiao Hao, are we really selling our land to the Japanese people?"
Last night, when Zhou Hao told her that a Japanese company was willing to spend four hundred million to buy the land of the Master Hua Village, she thought that Zhou Hao was just joking.
Now that even the mayor had stepped in, she truly believed Zhou Hao's words.
Originally, when Zhou Hao wanted to buy that land, Yan Tong did not know what such a large land was used for.
Later, when she was so busy with the restaurant business, she had almost forgotten about it.
However, Zhou Hao quietly sold it for a sky-high price of 400 million, which made Yan Tong feel that it was hard to believe.
"Yeah, mom, don't tell me you really don't believe your son's words?" Zhou Hao said helplessly, "However, although the Japanese spent 400 million to buy the land, in the end, we could only get 300 million, and 100 million amongst them …"
He couldn't just tell Yan Tong that he wanted the one hundred million to give to him, so he said: "I have to use that one hundred million to pay taxes."
"300 million, that's a lot. We'll never be able to use that even in our lifetime." Yan Tong sighed.
Zhou Hao only laughed. A mere three hundred million Yan Tong could not imagine it, then what would she do when Zhou Hao possessed ten billion worth of wealth in the future?
When they arrived at the meeting room of the government building, Zhou Hao saw that Kazuo Koike and a few of the executives of the metal industry were already there waiting.
The city's secretary, Xiao Yu, was present as well. As for that annoying Junyan, she had long since disappeared from sight.
"Mr. Chi, I'm sorry, we're here to eat." Zhou Hao smiled at Kazuo Koike as soon as he saw him.
"It's alright, it's just that we came early."
Although Kazuo Koike was extremely regretful and resentful towards this despicable Chinese youth, on the surface, he was still very friendly.
"We have all prepared the relevant documents, and we can transfer the money to the account that you requested, Zhou Hao."
Therefore, the two of them started to sign the contract. Yan Tong did not need to understand anything as long as she could sign her name on the contract.
As for Kazuo Koike, he had his friend from the metal industry transfer some money to Zhou Hao and specially arranged for a staff member to do the task for him.
Not long later, the worker received news from HSBC and said to Zhou Hao: Mr Zhou, the money has been transferred to your account.
A total of Rmb 400 million. Do you need to convert it into Hong Kong dollars? "
"Save the 100 million and exchange the remaining 300 million for US dollars." Zhou Hao said.
He intended to use the 300 million to invest in the international futures market, so it would be more convenient to exchange it for US dollars.
The employee passed Zhou Hao's meaning to him, and Kazuo Koike started to discuss the details of the investment with the government.
As for the other half of the land, Kazuo Koike had already bought it from the government long ago. It only cost twenty million and at the same time, it was accompanied by a promise to recruit a local citizen as a worker.
Kazuo Koike and the rest were glad that they had already bought the other half of the land, if not, the Xiang City government would have made a big demand like Zhou Hao, which would have been a huge loss.
At this time, Gao Houlu introduced Yang Dongshen to Kazuo Koike.
Hearing that Yang Dongshen's Bao He Group had a huge sales network in the country, they wanted to cooperate with their friend the metal industry and become their distributors in the country.
Kazuo Koike was also very interested in this, he immediately started discussing it with Yang Dongshen.
Zhou Hao saw that he had nothing to do here, so he took his leave. Before he left, Yang Dongshen gave him a grateful look.
After exiting the meeting room, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping both heaved a sigh of relief. Yan Tong pressed on her chest and said: "I'm so nervous inside, I can't even breathe properly."
Indeed, the people in the meeting room were either government officials or wealthy merchants, and Yan Tong and Lu Shiping had never experienced the aura emitted from their bodies before.
"But Xiao Hao is awesome, I never thought that your English would be so good, to actually be able to directly talk with that Japanese." Lu Shiping praised Zhou Hao.
"Auntie Lu, you're too kind." Zhou Hao laughed, but Lu Shiping was able to differentiate that she was speaking English with the Japanese, not Japanese, which was already better than an ordinary housewife.
He smiled at the two girls and said, "We've earned so much money today, why don't we call Xijun and Zhong Cai to celebrate?"
Actually, earning three hundred million was not the most important thing. What made Zhou Hao the happiest was the fact that he could earn that much money from the Japanese.
Lu Shiping readily agreed.
Thus, they called Wang Xijun and Wang Zhong Cai to celebrate in a nearby restaurant.
Wang Xijun and her sister were also very surprised that Zhou Hao had earned so much money.
Wang Xijun knew that Zhou Hao wanted to sell the land to the Japanese people, but she never expected that he would actually succeed.
"Mom, Auntie Lu, there's actually something I want to tell you."
During the meal, Zhou Hao suddenly said: "I bought two houses at the Lakeview Manor, we can move in anytime."
The two sets of houses, certificates and the like that Fan Lize had given to Zhou Hao were already completed.
Yan Tong was shocked, "House? When did you buy the house? "
"Mom, didn't I already tell you? I took a portion of those bonuses and gave it to Sister Zhao for her to invest, and now I've earned a few million. Coincidentally, Sister Zhao also knows the boss of Lakeview Manor, so she can sell it to me for a high price. Zhou Hao explained.
Because Yan Tong did not know about Fang Guanwei's kidnapping, Zhou Hao could not tell her that Fan Lize was the one who delivered the house to his as a form of apology.
"Sis Tong, your Xiao Hao is really amazing, earning so much money at such a young age." Lu Shiping praised from the side.
Zhou Hao smiled and said to Lu Shiping: "Actually, the reason I bought two sets was because one of them was given to Auntie Lu and you guys. We still have to continue being neighbors."
Lu Shiping was also shocked when she heard it, and immediately shook her head, "No way, no way, how can I do that, Xiao Hao, this won't do."
"Why not? We've been relying on each other for so many years, we've long since treated you as a family. "
Zhou Hao said: "Moreover, our Mrs Zhou Restaurant will develop very quickly in the future.
After that day, you became a company's CEO, so this apartment was given to you in advance. "
Although Zhou Hao said it like that, Lu Shiping still rejected repeatedly.
After all, this villa was already worth more than a million, Lu Shiping did not dare to accept such a huge gift.
In the end, Yan Tong spoke up to persuade her: "Shiping Ping, just take it. Xiao Hao is right, we have long been family. Although our lives are better now, we aren't the kind of people who forget their old relationship once we have money.
In any case, if you don't want to accept it, then I won't move. We'll stay there as neighbors. "
In any case, Lu Shiping had finally agreed and was even more grateful to Zhou Hao and his son.
Wang Xijun and Wang Zhongcai were extremely happy as well. Originally, Wang Xijun had heard that Zhou Hao was going to move away after buying the house, and she had even felt hurt that the two of them couldn't meet again in the future.
He did not expect Zhou Hao to simply buy two houses and move the two families together.
When they left the little restaurant, Zhou Hao and Wang Xijun intentionally lagged behind.
Zhou Hao smiled at her: "How is it? Did you think I was going to leave you alone?
"Hur hur, how could that be? I've already made up my mind early in the morning that I would go and find a rich person to hide in."
