Chapter 6: The Wealth-Bringing Boy
Uncle Arida is quick to help others and is righteous. Brother, if you speak to Uncle Arida, he will definitely assist if he can.
Li Tianyang weakly agreed, appearing like a disheartened young man on the surface, while secretly mocking himself, as the plot was exactly the same as in his previous life
Upon hearing Li Tianyang's words, everyone present was taken aback
Li Tianyang's lips curled into a slight arc
A fool who doesn't earn money, Lü Youtian believes that after years of struggling in the local scene, he has managed to stand firm and possesses a certain level of economic acumen. He tentatively asked, "Nephew, why are you in such a hurry for money? We have a genuine relationship; if you're in trouble, you must tell your uncle!"
"Nephew, you know that I usually lend some money to help the villagers through tough times. It's just that I can't bear to see others in difficulty." Seeing that the other party had already fallen into the trap, Lu Youtian secretly laughed in his heart, while maintaining a serious demeanor on the surface: "Child, your willingness to help is commendable, but even among close brothers, we must be clear about the accounts. Several million is not a small amount; you need to provide some collateral. Moreover, the interest I might charge could be a bit high, and you may not be able to accept it"
The younger generation of the Li family, who had been eagerly waiting on the sidelines, looked completely bewildered. The entire town was aware of the recent news regarding the relocation of the head of hetushu.com, which had become an open secret. At that time, a mere transfer of a homestead would fetch five million. Without a second thought, this young man agreed. Could it be that he was intimidated by the imposing aura of his own faction?
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyang wore a pained expression and sighed, saying: "I thought that working for others was not a long-term solution, so I resigned from my job, intending to start up the family liquor factory. Today, I spent the whole day in the market purchasing some equipment and materials, and I've spent all the money. I'm short a few million for the startup capital."
The door of the Jinbei van was pulled open, and several young people got out, their expressions a mix of dissatisfaction and indignation. The door was left ajar, revealing tools such as crowbars and hammers inside, without any attempt to conceal them.
"Uncle Aritian, can you help me?" Li Tianyang seemed to be invigorated as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline, his entire demeanor brightening, resembling a young man who had caught a glimpse of hope in the darkness
I sold it. One million is the price you mentioned before, right? Let's sign the contract now, and once it's signed, transfer the money.
The people in the town are not foolish; they have all heard about the recent news of relocation, and not a single one is willing to sell their land. After several unsuccessful negotiations, he directly contacted a few younger members of his family, opting for a hard approach when the soft one failed. One should pick the soft persimmons to squeeze, and individuals like Li Tianyang, who are orphaned, naturally become his primary targets for coercion.
After the domineering vehicle came to a stop, an elderly man got out, dressed in typical farmer attire, wearing a flat cap, and surveying his surroundings with a withered smile.
Indeed, Uncle Tian is well-regarded by the neighbors in the community; whenever there are difficulties, they turn to Uncle Tian for help
Usury is typically lent to those in need of money. Lü Youtian scrutinized Li Tianyang repeatedly, and it was evident that this young man, with his despondent demeanor, was in dire financial straits. Considering that he had so readily sold a homestead worth several million, it was clear that he was a prime potential client.
Lu Youtian was taken aback when he saw Li Tianyang standing at the entrance in a state of despair, and then his expression turned to one of deep sorrow, as if the two were biological uncle and nephew.
Your nephew is quite sensible. Keeping that piece of land is not as beneficial as converting it into cash. If everyone were as understanding as you, I could live an extra ten years! Hongwei, go get the contract! Transfer the money immediately after signing the contract!
Li Tianyang glanced at the dismal numbers and figures in his account balance, but he did not feel anxious. First, he went to the restroom and tousled his hair into a mess, then changed into a wrinkled outfit, and finally lit a cigarette, using the smoke to waft over his clothes
Uncle Aritian, what brings you here
As soon as the factory gate was opened, a Toyota Land Cruiser turned in from the street corner, followed by a Jinbei van, which directly stopped in front of the liquor factory after making the turn
He looked in the mirror, his expression one of deep gloom, resembling a young man whose spirit has been worn down by the harshness of reality. After completing all of this, he finally arrived at the entrance of the liquor factory
This old fox is quite cautious, and Li Tianyang couldn't help but laugh at this maneuver. Without any further ado, he swiftly signed and stamped all the necessary places before handing it over to the other party
Seeing this, the younger generation of the Lü family prepared to get in the car and head home, while Lü Youtian's eldest son happily took out his phone to make a transfer
The first to react was Lü Youtian, whose old face was filled with secret delight. He quickly called for his son to retrieve the crumpled contract from the car, fearing that Li Tianyang might have a change of heart
Having dominated the local area for many years, his business scope is certainly not limited to mere coercive buying and selling or the appropriation of others' property; activities such as usury are also among the primary means of profit-making.
Li Tianyang, who had received the contract from hetushu.com, first glanced at the document and confirmed that both the content and the amount were in order. It was merely a standard contract for the transfer of residential land use rights. However, there were two additional pages containing a letter of consent and a letter of commitment. Most absurdly, the contract already bore the signature of Lü Youtian, along with the signatures of several so-called witnesses.
The young people of the Lü family around also understood and echoed in agreement
Lü Youtian has some connections in the city and learned that the old homestead area in the future town will be transformed into an economic development zone. Therefore, he frequently seeks discussions with the townspeople about purchasing the homestead land.
The sound of something crashing or falling
Lü Youtian squinted his eyes; after all, he had been in society for many years. There are no free lunches in this world. Li Tianyang must be in urgent need of money to be so eager to sell the land; otherwise, why would he be so straightforward about it
After speaking, Lü Youtian gave his son Lü Hongwei a knowing glance
Lü Youtian never expected things to go so smoothly. He had originally devised a plan at home, intending to first persuade Li Tianyang with kind words, and if that failed, to resort to threats, thereby setting an example for the neighbors around him and establishing his authority. However, upon arrival, the unfolding of events was completely different from what he had anticipated.
Little brother, do not be anxious; let Uncle You Tian think of a solution for you. And the book.
"Tianyang, my dear nephew! Your parents left early, and Uncle Tian did not take good care of you. Just look at you, you've become so thin!"
Just like in the previous life, those who bring money have arrived
I see! A fleeting look of joy flashed in Lu Youtian's eyes, and then he continued, "A liquor factory? That must require an investment of several million, right? You are quite ambitious, my child!"
Lv Youtian kept stealing glances at Li Tianyang's expression and reproached him, "How can you speak like that, kid? Can't your uncle come to see you? Back in the day, your father and I were so close that we could wear the same pair of pants. If we went out, people would believe we had the same mother. I was just thinking that piece of land is sitting idle, and if you sell it, you could still make some money. Besides, young people like you have many expenses. I'm doing this for your own good. If you sell it to me..."
The person who came was Lü Youtian from the town. Relying on his numerous family members and having a capable son, he acted tyrannically in the town, committing all sorts of immoral deeds.
Li Tianyang agreed on the spot without a second thought. A month later, the apocalypse arrived, and by then, the entire Zhonghai was submerged. Such a naive person who comes knocking with a bag of money is truly adorable.
Lu Hongwei was momentarily taken aback, but then immediately understood, "Brother Tianyang, don't sigh and lament; you never know, Uncle Tian might be able to help you!"
