Return to the City: The Strongest King-Chapter 1893 - 1799: Over 10 Million, You Know_3

Capítulo 1893: Chapter 1799: Over 10 Million, You Know_3

“Hey big brother, hello big brother!” Song Xiaodong didn’t elevate his posture based on his status, but instead followed Li Sijie in calling him “big brother.”

“Hello, hello!” The two shook hands.

“Sijie, impressive! This car must be worth a lot, right?” Li Fengrao’s eyes lit up as he looked at the car.

“Oh come on, get to work, the guests are here, aren’t you going to greet them?” Li Sijie said impatiently to Li Fengrao.

“Cousin, what are you saying, you and Mr. Song are the guests!”

“Big brother, no need for that formality, we’re family, no need to be polite.” Song Xiaodong exchanged pleasantries with Li Fengrao.

“We’re going in, big brother, keep busy.” Li Sijie pulled Song Xiaodong into the company.

The ground floor was full of seats, with a stage set up, and many people had already arrived.

“Hey, Sijie and Xiaodong are here! Come, sit here.” The eldest uncle’s wife saw Li Sijie and Song Xiaodong from a distance and hurried over to greet them.

“Hey…” Li Sijie raised her head to look at Song Xiaodong, her brows furrowed, almost drooping down.

Song Xiaodong turned to look at Li Sijie with amusement, giving her a gentle nudge with his elbow.

“Aunt!” Li Sijie and Song Xiaodong greeted the eldest uncle’s wife politely.

“Come on, sit over here, sit over here.”

The eldest uncle’s wife led the two over to the Li Family’s relatives.

“Let me introduce everyone, this is Li Sijie’s husband, Song Xiaodong, he’s in investment, making a million a year!” The eldest uncle’s wife introduced Song Xiaodong succinctly to everyone.

The Li Family had the eldest uncle and aunt, the second uncle and aunt, the third uncle and aunt, Li Jianguo and his wife, plus the second uncle’s household of Li Fengshuo and his wife, and the third uncle’s household of Li Fengsheng and his wife.

The elders had all met, but it was the first time Li Fengrao, Li Fengshuo, and Li Fengsheng were meeting Song Xiaodong.

Li Fengrao was a big boss making three million a year, Li Fengshuo was a deputy section chief in the city’s Urban Construction Bureau, and Li Fengsheng was in real estate, while Song Xiaodong was a small boss making a million a year.

The cousins, along with Li Sijie, sat together, the conversation sure to be lively.

“Hello, hello everyone.” Song Xiaodong greeted everyone politely.

“Come on, you two sit with them.” The eldest uncle’s wife naturally seated Li Sijie and Song Xiaodong with the younger generation.

“Hello, brother-in-law, first time meeting, hahaha.” With Li Fengrao absent, Li Fengshuo took the lead and spoke to Song Xiaodong first.

“Hello, hello, last time at Sijie’s house, I heard your second aunt praising you. To get into the Urban Construction Bureau and be promoted to deputy section chief, that’s impressive!” Song Xiaodong started with a compliment.

“Ah, it’s all about serving the people.” Li Fengshuo immediately invoked the people, speaking in a different tone.

“Hello, hello, I’m Li Fengsheng, also our first meeting.” Li Fengsheng also spoke to Song Xiaodong.

“This is the third brother, the one before was the second brother, and your third aunt mentioned you too, being in real estate is profitable now!” Song Xiaodong continued with the flattery.

“Haha, brother-in-law, you’re being too kind, it’s not that easy, we’re entering a period of industrial consolidation, big fish eat small fish, and small fry like us are soon going to be eliminated.” Li Fengsheng spoke with humor.

“Brother-in-law, what do you do?” Li Fengsheng asked.

“I’m in investment.” Song Xiaodong replied.

“That’s similar to Fengrao, he’s in financial management.” Li Fengshuo chimed in.

“Yes, yes.”

“Hey, what’s up with your piece of land, just leaving it there? If you don’t start soon, the Urban Construction will come to check.” Li Fengshuo asked Li Fengsheng.

“Second brother, think of a way again, the bank won’t release funds on my end, there’s nothing I can do.” Li Fengsheng, though wealthy, had no way to stand up to the deputy section chief of the Urban Construction Bureau.

“Why won’t they release funds, everything was fine before?” Li Fengshuo inquired.

“Second brother, you have no idea, we’re in a period of real estate monopoly development; big corporations are merging small businesses, and major real estate developers have teamed with banks to make us buy land, and once we buy it, they won’t give loans, waiting for our capital chain to break and for us to go bankrupt. Second brother, look at me, my hair is turning white with worry.” Li Fengsheng tilted his head to show Li Fengshuo the white hairs at his temples.

“Alright, alright, I’ve delayed them half a month for you, that piece of land is sitting there bare, all the citizens can see it, the wind blows dirt everywhere, won’t the people complain about what the Urban Construction is doing, leaving such a big piece of land just like that?” Li Fengshuo asked again.

“Second brother, I know, I’ll go back and fence the land with iron sheeting so people can’t see it, okay?” Li Fengsheng continued to plead with Li Fengshuo.

“What’s the use of fencing it, you should find a way to start construction, if the big banks won’t give loans, go to the small banks, if local banks won’t lend, go to out-of-town ones, but I can only wait another week, in winter you won’t be able to start work!” Li Fengshuo gave Li Fengsheng an ultimatum.

“If worse comes to worst, get the eldest sister-in-law to help you.”

“Second brother, don’t joke with me, the eldest sister-in-law can only get me tens of thousands, not even enough for equipment money, let alone starting work.”

“Who told you to buy that piece of land?” Li Fengshuo continued to scold Li Fengsheng.

“I didn’t know they’d join forces to scam me!” Li Fengsheng said, lowering his head in annoyance.

“Third brother, is there an issue with that land? Why won’t the bank release funds?” Song Xiaodong tried to ask.

“It’s said to have problems with the hydrogeological survey report and environmental assessment materials, so they won’t approve it.” Li Fengsheng replied.

“That’s just an excuse!” Li Fengshuo continued to berate Li Fengsheng.

“I know, but what can I do, their arms are thicker than my legs! Second brother, if I go bankrupt, you have to protect me, don’t let me end up in prison!” Li Fengsheng was almost on his knees to Li Fengshuo.
