"It is estimated that by 2022, our Jiangnan New City will be built into an intelligent mega-city complex with three five-star luxury hotels, including the five-star Baifan Hotel, which will become the new landmark of Hangzhou City!"
Along with the passionate explanation of the capable woman, the image on the projection screen constantly changed. The high-definition satellite map was switched to a three-dimensional bird's-eye view. The original villages and towns were quickly flattened, and high-rise buildings rose from the ground.
The most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the 100-story Sail Hotel, which stood on the west side of Linjiang. It made people's blood boil.
In the end, she concluded, "It is said that there is a hidden dragon on the south bank of Qianjiang River. What we need to do is to let this hidden dragon soar into the sky!"
The room was silent for a moment, and the handsome man sitting on Yuan Bin's left was the first to clap.
The next moment, everyone followed suit, including the bodyguards at the door and Guan Zhishang, who was waiting to be summoned.
The capable woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed with a smile. "Thank you."
Yuan Bin turned his head to look at the handsome man and asked proudly, "Brother Mingzhe, what do you think of our plan?"
The construction plan of Jiangnan New City had been revised several times, and he had personally participated in the planning. He thought that the final plan was perfect, so of course, he had to show it off in front of Yuan Bin.
The feminine man came from the capital, and he was the direct descendant of the Chen Family, one of the seven major families in Beijing. He was the representative of the Chen Family in Hangzhou City to preside over the operation of the Jiangnan New City project on the south bank of Qianjiang River.
He was a powerful dragon.
However, as the saying went, a powerful dragon could not suppress a local snake. No matter how big the Chen Family's appetite was, it was impossible for them to swallow the Jiangnan New City. Therefore, they chose the Yuan Family of Jiangdong as one of their partners to develop this project.
In terms of family strength, power, and influence, the Yuan Family of Jiangdong was definitely not comparable to the Chen Family of Beijing. However, Yuan Bin, who considered himself a local snake, did not want to bow down to Chen Mingzhe.
While asking Chen Mingzhe, Yuan Bin glanced at the woman sitting on the other side of the room.
The elegant woman in a white dress was called Ye Yingxue, Chen Mingzhe's cousin. According to Chen Mingzhe, he brought her here to broaden her horizons.
When Yuan Bin first saw Ye Yingxue, at least half of his soul was taken away.
Ye Yingxue wasn't the kind of woman who would act coquettishly. Although her appearance and figure were excellent, her temperament was cold and indifferent. She hadn't said a single word since she sat there, giving people a feeling that she was unapproachable.
However, Yuan Bin, who had been around women for a long time, knew very well that an icy beauty like her would be as passionate as fire once he got his hands on her. She was the real deal!
Yuan Bin had tried to please her several times but failed to win her smile. Instead, his desire to conquer her was aroused.
Chen Mingzhe smiled faintly at Yuan Bin's bragging. "Very interesting. I have no objections to this project."
He spoke softly and softly.
"But …"
Just as Yuan Bin was feeling proud, Chen Mingzhe suddenly changed the topic. "It's too late to delay the demolition of Linjiang Town until the first half of next year. I hope that the first phase of construction of Jiangnan New City can start at the beginning of next year!"
Yuan Bin was stunned. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Linjiang Town has a population of more than 30,000 people. There are more than 1,000 houses in the town. Including the surrounding factories and workshops, it will be very difficult to move. We are currently investigating the demolition and relocation. Also, the project of Jiangnan New City needs to be approved by the Provincial Council, so …"
"The project will be approved next month!"
Chen Mingzhe interrupted him. "What you need to do is to complete the relocation of Linjiang Town as soon as possible!"
Yuan Bin was instantly speechless.
His rising arrogance was slapped down by Chen Mingzhe's palm.
If it was someone else who said that the project of Jiangnan New City could be approved next month, Yuan Bin would definitely treat it as a joke. The members of the Provincial Council were all sly old foxes. It would be a fool's dream to get their approval before the profit distribution was completed.
However, Chen Mingzhe, or rather, the Chen family in Beijing represented by Chen Mingzhe, really had the confidence to say that.
However, Yuan Bin couldn't pat his chest and say that he would complete the demolition of Linjiang Town in the second half of the year because he didn't have much decision-making power on such a big project. He immediately lost in terms of momentum.
Seeing Yuan Bin's predicament, Chen Mingzhe didn't pursue it. He smiled and said, "Young Master Bin, I know that the demolition work is very difficult. We can discuss this matter in the long run. There's no need to rush. If we work together sincerely, I believe that we can achieve a win-win situation."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yuan Bin was given a way out and hurriedly said, "A win-win situation."
He turned his head and ordered the maid beside him, "Serve the tea!"
At this moment, Yuan Bin noticed Guan Zhishang standing in the corner again. He frowned and waved at him.
Guan Zhishang immediately walked over and bowed. "Young Master Yuan."
Yuan Bin said in a deep voice, "Old Guan, you said that you brought a treasure for me to take a look. Let me tell you, everyone here is discerning. Don't try to fool me with some junk and embarrass me."
The day before yesterday, Yuan Bin received a call from Guan Zhishang saying that he had received a rare item and wanted him to take a look.
At that time, Yuan Bin didn't take it to heart and just said a few perfunctory words. He didn't expect Guan Zhishang to call again today, so he simply asked him to send the item here.
Yuan Bin wasn't in a good mood after being mocked by Chen Mingzhe, so his tone was quite harsh.
Guan Zhishang's legs trembled when he heard that because he knew the consequences of embarrassing Young Master Yuan. He wanted to slap himself hard. Who asked you to be so meddlesome?
In fact, Guan Zhishang mainly wanted to flatter. In principle, there was nothing wrong with that. The problem was that Young Master Yuan wasn't a broad-minded person.
If he wasn't satisfied with the item, wouldn't Guan Zhishang be looking for trouble?
However, at that moment, Guan Zhishang couldn't back down. He hurriedly prepared the item and respectfully presented it to Yuan Bin.
He brought a square box made of ebony wood. It was only about three inches in length, width, and height. The workmanship of the box was very exquisite, but it wasn't an antique.
"Please take a look."
After placing the box in front of Yuan Bin, Guan Zhishang retracted his hands and took a step back. He didn't straighten his back.
Yuan Bin glanced at Guan Zhishang and reached out to open the box.
Probably out of curiosity, Chen Mingzhe and the cold Ye Yingxue looked over at the same time.
When the box was opened, a gold coin was placed on a dark purple velvet cloth. The light it emitted instantly shone on everyone's faces. It was bright and eye-catching, but very gentle. It wasn't dazzling at all.
"Huh?"
Chen Mingzhe's eyes flashed with surprise. He couldn't help but look at Ye Yingxue.
Ye Yingxue's expression was a little serious.
Yuan Bin was stunned and asked, "Old Guan, is this the treasure you were talking about?"
Other than the fact that the gold coin was very new and shiny, there was nothing special about it.
As the young master of the Jinyufu Group, Yuan Bin had seen a lot of gold.
He didn't notice Chen Mingzhe and Ye Yingxue's expressions.
"Master Yuan …"
Guan Zhishang quickly explained, "This gold coin is very special. I've used equipment to test it repeatedly. It's 100% pure. There are no impurities."
"100% pure gold?"
Yuan Bin laughed. "Are you kidding me?"
There was no such thing as 100% pure gold in the world. Even though technology was very advanced, it was still impossible to purify 100% pure gold.
Usually, 24K would treat all the gold products sold in the market as pure gold.
"That's what the test showed. Maybe the equipment in the shop isn't accurate enough …"
Guan Zhishang gulped and gave himself a way out. He continued, "Also, it's very hard. I tried using a diamond knife, but I couldn't leave a mark on it."
"You can try."
To prevent Yuan Bin from doubting him again, Guan Zhishang hurriedly handed over a diamond knife that he had already prepared.
Yuan Bin took it with a skeptical look.
If the test result of 100% pure gold was a problem with the equipment, then the fact that a diamond knife couldn't leave a mark on it was completely illogical. Pure gold was very soft and could be easily scratched with fingernails.
He didn't immediately test the knife with the gold coin. Instead, he slashed it on the tea tray.
