Chapter 64 Commercial Street Construction Site
We talked for a long time at Boss Jin's house, and based on what my cousin said, we decided to take over the business.
"Before the Chinese New Year, let's find a time to meet with Mr. Liu and discuss the details."
Before leaving, my cousin shook hands with Boss Jin and asked him to make an appointment to meet with General Manager Liu.
"Then let's do it tomorrow. I'll ask him to go directly to Wen Jie's store to find you. We'll decide the time later."
Boss Jin happily sent us to the car.
I don't understand why a middleman like him can be so happy.
"You don't know this. If we can reach an agreement with Mr. Liu, we will give him a share of the profits. And Mr. Liu has probably given him a lot of benefits, otherwise no one would want to be a middleman." My cousin was driving the car with a cigarette in his mouth.
He seemed to be in a good mood and drove a little slower.
"Open the window a little. Wen Jie has drunk some wine. Let the wind wake him up."
He gave a reminder, and Dong Jing tried to reach out his hand, but was blocked by me.
"I'll do it myself. I didn't drink much. It's okay."
Leaning against the window, I looked at the scenery.
The next morning, my uncle and cousin arrived at the agency.
Mr. Liu was even more anxious than us and had already been drinking tea with Boss Jin in the agency.
"Hey, aren't the two Mr. Wen here? Come and sit over here. My last name is Liu. I think Boss Jin mentioned me to you yesterday. I came here today to talk to you about that piece of land."
Mr. Liu was even more proactive than us. He greeted us as soon as he saw us come in.
My cousin sat down and talked to her about the ground. I don’t know whether the ground is evil or not, but it sounds like it is not a simple matter.
"Our engineering team hasn't started work yet, but I'd like to have some capable gentlemen take a look first."
"The price you invested in your piece of land is about the same as the price in other places, right?" The cousin looked at Mr. Liu's plan and frowned.
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment. "The price seems to be a little cheaper. I saw that no one was developing there, so I thought of building a shopping mall there. The land owner there couldn't sell it for a long time, so he gave me a cheap price."
It took a long time to sell?
Logically speaking, that is the busiest area of the commercial street.
The commercial street also attracts young people to visit and play. Apart from food and drink, it lacks KTV and cinemas. However, this does not prevent young people from going there during holidays.
If the land owner already owns the land, why doesn't he develop it himself?
He even sold it to Mr. Liu at a cheap price.
Could there be some fraud going on?
My cousin looked back at me, and I looked at him, feeling a little at a loss.
Just listening to what Mr. Liu said, I already felt that there was something wrong with this land.
But Mr. Liu has already paid for the land and has hired a construction team to start work. If we say something wrong about the land at this time, it might make Mr. Liu unhappy.
Anyway, since you take someone's money, you have to do things for them.
The Chinese New Year is almost here and today is already New Year’s Eve. It would probably be troublesome to get things done now.
"Actually, we are not in a hurry about this matter. The people in the engineering team have already returned to their hometowns for the New Year. Why don't we talk about it after the New Year?"
Mr. Liu could see our doubts and knew that even if we took the money, there was really no rush for us to do this.
But my cousin thought so.
"Let's drive over now and take a look. If there is anything, we will try to fix it within the next two days. This will not affect the Chinese New Year."
Mr. Liu didn't expect his cousin to be so straightforward. He stood up and drove to the construction site.
"You're free this afternoon, right? Do you have any social engagements or anything?" The cousin who was walking in front suddenly turned around and looked at Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
After making sure everyone was free in the afternoon, we got in the car and set off.
Originally I didn't want to go with them, but then I thought, it's already the 29th day of the lunar year, the store won't be open today, and I'd rather just sit there doing nothing.
Lin Mu was responsible for locking the door, and a few of us drove to the construction site on the commercial street.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the commercial streets are deserted.
Those who should go back to their hometown have all gone back.
There were no young people wandering around the commercial street. The entire commercial street was like a dead city. Compared with the bustle in the past, it is a bit deserted now.
Mr. Liu brought us to the construction site, which had already been fenced off and it looked like they were going to start construction after the New Year.
As soon as I approached that piece, I smelled a burnt smell.
"Have you ever held a barbecue party here?" I asked a little confused.
The smell was particularly strong, and it didn't feel like an ordinary barbecue party, but more like a big fire that burned the whole place.
Sure enough, my inference was correct. Mr. Liu's face changed after hearing what I said.
"The previous owner of this land said that there was a fire here and it burned everything down in an instant, so there is such a strong smell ." Mr. Liu said as he opened the gate to the construction site.
After the door was opened, the burnt smell became even stronger.
My cousin frowned, covered his nose with his hand, turned around and said to me, "Boy, call Dong Jing over."
As soon as I heard him say this, I knew this matter was going to be difficult.
Originally we said we were just coming over to take a look, but judging by my cousin's attitude, he seemed to want to stay here today to see what was going on.
Seeing his serious expression, I didn't dare to delay and quickly took out my cell phone called Dong Jing.
As we followed Mr. Liu inside, the smell became stronger and stronger.
"Did the previous owner of this land tell you approximately how long ago the fire occurred?" I asked.
"I heard that, but I didn't really listen at the time. If I remember correctly, it was about two or three years ago."
Two or three years ago ?
The smell from the burning two or three years ago should have disappeared long ago, so how is it possible that there is still such a strong smell today?
I am a little confused and want to ask more questions.
My cousin stretched out his hand to stop me, and I shut up and waited for his instructions.
"The evil energy here is very strong. It is estimated that the fire not only burned the existing buildings on this land, but I believe that some people have also been burned to death here."
As he spoke, he took out a peach wood sword from his treasure bag.
My cousin's peach wood sword has many uses. I saw him stick the peach wood sword into the rotten ground and stick a piece of yellow paper on it.
There's nothing on that yellow paper, it's just a piece of paper.
But I found that the wind was very strong nearby, and the yellow paper was stuck on the peach wood sword, not moving.
I frowned. There was a foul energy controlling this piece of paper. Just as my cousin said, the foul energy here was very strong.
