Chapter 304: If You're Going to Do It, Do the Best
Chen Fan was startled in his heart, but his face did not show it at all.
"Ms. Shi is joking."
"Speaking of this matter, I have a lot of grievances."
"The demolition and relocation team told me that they don't have enough money and want to negotiate with me about using land to make up for the compensation."
"I'm just an outsider in Yunhai, with no power or influence. I dare not offend anyone, let alone a group of high-ranking leaders."
"In the end, after much thought, I decided to go with the flow and be accommodating. That way, I can still maintain a good relationship with the leaders above, and maybe in the future, when I do business, they can still look out for me."
Seeing that the other party seemed to be listening, Chen Fan sighed again.
"Alas, I will never again do something that involves putting on a brave front."
"I'm so worried now. The two plots of land that the authorities gave me are really too remote. I've asked several bosses, and none of them are interested."
Shi Qian was taken aback: "You want to sell those two plots of land?"
"Ridiculous! If I don't sell, am I going to let them grow weeds?"
Chen Fan said matter-of-factly, "Those two plots of land are just too remote. Otherwise, why would I want to find you to buy land? I could just build a club myself there."
"Originally, I was planning to flip them as soon as I got them, at least to break even. But now, they're just rotting in my hands."
"Alas, I feel like I've been played by the leaders above."
Seeing Chen Fan's dejected look, Shi Qian couldn't help but smirk, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly had an idea.
"Oh, that's right, Ms. Shi, you run a real estate company, don't you? How about it? Are you interested? If you are, we can discuss further."
Shi Qian hurriedly waved her hand and smiled.
"Forget it. I run a real estate company, not a charity."
"Those two plots of land you have are too remote. Who am I going to sell the houses to if I build there? The wild animals around?"
Chen Fan looked hurt: "Ms. Shi, your words wound me."
Shi Qian finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Next time, next time we have a chance, we must collaborate."
"Alas."
Chen Fan shook his head regretfully, then took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Alright then. As we discussed earlier, let's wish for a smooth collaboration."
Shi Qian was actually afraid that Chen Fan would insist on her buying those two barren plots of land.
At this moment, seeing Chen Fan giving up, she secretly let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly shook his hand.
"Smooth collaboration."
They agreed to meet the next day to sign the contract, then walked out of the cafe together.
Seeing Chen Fan standing by the roadside, Shi Qian was a little puzzled.
"Mr. Chen, you didn't drive?"
Chen Fan smiled, "I don't have a car. I took a cab here."
Shi Qian was dumbfounded, staring at Chen Fan in astonishment.
"I can't believe Mr. Chen is such an extraordinary person."
"Would you like me to give you a ride?"
Chen Fan waved his hand and smiled, "No need, I'll take a cab back. Ms. Shi, you should get going."
"Then I'll be off."
Shi Qian waved her hand, and after getting into the car, she glanced at Chen Fan through the rearview mirror again.
For some reason, at this moment, Shi Qian suddenly felt the need to re-evaluate Chen Fan.
A young man not even thirty years old, suddenly coming into such great wealth, and he's not thinking about how to splurge and indulge himself. He doesn't even have a car.
What tremendous self-control.
Is this really the same bumbling person she just saw at the cafe?
...
The next day, Chen Fan brought Ding Dian to meet Shi Qian and sign the contract.
As agreed, Chen Fan first transferred 10 million yuan, and the remaining 9 million yuan had to be transferred to the other party's company account within a month.
Next, Ding Dian, on behalf of Chen Fan, signed another contract, officially handing over the construction of all the club buildings to Shi Qian's Tianshi Real Estate.
This time when they met, Shi Qian was obviously more enthusiastic towards Chen Fan, calling him "Brother Chen Fan" repeatedly, which made Chen Fan feel extremely embarrassed and at a loss.
On the side, Ding Dian was giving the two of them odd glances, her eyes scanning back and forth between them.
After signing the contract, Shi Qian enthusiastically invited Chen Fan to have a meal together, saying it was to enhance mutual understanding between the two parties.
Chen Fan hurriedly declined and left with Ding Dian.
After exiting the other party's company building, Ding Dian gave Chen Fan an odd look.
"There's something strange between you two."
"What do you mean?" Chen Fan didn't get it.
"Previously when I negotiated with them so many times, they insisted on not lowering the price."
"But after you talked to her just once, she immediately lowered the price to 19 million yuan...more importantly, wasn't she a bit too enthusiastic towards you today?"
Ding Dian glanced at Chen Fan.
"There must be something strange between you two."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sister, maybe you should watch fewer brain-dead soap operas. What are you thinking all day?"
Ding Dian was unconvinced: "Then you tell me, why was she so enthusiastic only towards you?"
"How the hell would I know." Chen Fan looked dumbfounded, "Maybe it's because I'm handsome."
Ding Dian looked at Chen Fan and snorted.
Chen Fan felt hurt: "What's with that look? You don't think your boss is handsome?"
"Handsome, extremely handsome."
"That's more like it."
Chen Fan smiled satisfactorily, putting his hands behind his back and striking a pose.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring the car over, let's go check out the school."
Ding Dian suppressed a laugh, not wanting to engage with this guy's antics.
The two arrived at the school, used the keys to unlock the door and went inside.
Standing in the campus, looking at the desolate buildings, Chen Fan was full of vigor and quite excited.
"For this club, I don't want to set up a CS live shooting range or haunted house experience anymore. If I'm going to do it, I'll make it the best and most high-end."
Ding Dian couldn't help but ask: "What ideas do you have?"
"Of course I have ideas." Chen Fan grinned, "Follow me."
As he spoke, he took Ding Dian to tour the school premises while describing to her the plans in his mind.
Chen Fan was completely envisioning it based on the large-scale clubs from his previous life.
In his depiction, this club of his would become the most high-end indoor club in the entire Yunhai, no, the entire northern region in the future.
Shooting range, yoga studio, soccer field, gym, badminton court, spa...
In short, it would have everything.
Most importantly, all the venues would be built in a high-end, luxurious manner. As soon as people entered, they would be dazzled and feel that their money was well spent.
According to Chen Fan's plan, Yunhai currently did not have any clubhouses prepared for the upper class to relax and unwind privately.
His club would fill this gap in the future, striving to become the first choice for white-collar workers and the upper class to relax, unwind, and even socialize.
As long as they had this group of members, it would be equivalent to having a large network of connections.
In the future, he could even build a few coffee houses specifically for these wealthy and successful individuals to host various salons.
Chen Fan spoke passionately, going on and on to plagiarize all the advantages of the private clubs he had visited in his previous life.
At first, Ding Dian was a little dismissive, but as she listened, her eyes widened, and her mouth slightly opened.
Finally, after Chen Fan finished speaking, she said, "Whew, that's all I can think of for now. Let's prepare the design plans first. If I have any other ideas later, we can add them anytime."
Ding Dian stared at Chen Fan in a daze.
"Do you...know how much money it would cost to build this club according to your vision?"
