The next few days.

Presumably, the Vice President Liu from Pengcheng Golf Club passed along the message that Su Yehao wanted to buy villas.

Several Hong Kong investors made the decision, sending people to Su Yehao's house, saying they would sell the villas as a package deal for 11,000 RMB per square meter, totaling 107 million RMB.

In Pengcheng, the most popular Yinhu villa area currently sells villas for between 13,000 and 16,000 RMB.

Shahe is in the suburbs, but because it's near the Si Hai International Cultural Tourism City and the golf course, and relatively close to the bay, a wholesale price of 11,000 RMB per square meter wasn't too expensive.

It was a favor for Su Yehao. Of the planned thirty-six villas, thirty-two were sold to him. The other four were supposedly already promised to someone else, making it difficult to break the agreement.

As for who they were sold to.

Su Yehao pondered slightly and had a rough idea.

Unwilling to get involved in their mess, he used the excuse that they would be used as dormitories for workers in the future. The four villas wouldn't be comfortable to live in, so they might as well sell them to him as well.

The Hong Kong investors thought about it and felt that made sense. So, they spent another two days finalizing it, agreeing to sell all thirty-six villas, transferring them for a total price of 120 million RMB, expected to be completed by the end of February.

Su Yehao smoothly acquired more than thirty villas, and the small bosses recouped some of their losses. Everyone was happy, and they signed the contract the day after reaching an agreement.

He had been looking forward to buying them, but after buying them, it seemed like no big deal.

He passed the simple renovation work to the assistant's office, asking them to find someone to do a basic renovation. He also called his father, mentioning that the workers' living conditions were too poor, which could affect the company's reputation.

Su's father was really unaware of the accommodation situation.

Such a big boss couldn't possibly keep an eye on every little thing and take care of everything.

Strictly speaking, most of the construction teams in Pengcheng Si Hai International Cultural Tourism City were hired from the mainland. Accommodation expenses were already included in their wages, but some contractors were too greedy and unwilling to spend extra money.

The houses Su Yehao bought in World Garden averaged more than 160 square meters. Putting three or four bunk beds in a room, they could squeeze in and make do. Two bathrooms were barely enough.

This gave the contractors an opportunity to exploit.

It would have been fine if he didn't know, but after learning about the workers' accommodation problem, Su's father called the person in charge and scolded them severely. Then he called Su Yehao, saying that he didn't need to use the villas he bought, and that the contractors should spend their own money to rent houses.

A subsidy of ten RMB per day was already provided to solve the workers' accommodation problem. If Su Yehao worried about it for them, wouldn't he be wasting money and saving costs for the contractors?

Su Yehao was speechless after learning about this.

He decisively told his assistant to hand over those villas to the hotel management team for fine decoration and temporary use as a hotel.

He had already bought them, and since he wasn't going to live there himself, he couldn't just leave them empty.

As for the difficulty of workers finding accommodation, he suggested that his father issue an announcement to explain the situation to the workers.

In this way, if the living conditions were still poor, it would become a conflict between the workers and the contractors. The company had already provided the money it should, and it had little to do with Si Hai International.

Time quietly came to February.

A contractor actually contacted Su Yehao through someone, saying that he would continue to rent his houses in the World Garden community, paying 1,000 RMB per month per house, with a living area of no less than ten square meters per person.

This amount of rent was insignificant.

Su Yehao was wondering why they didn't pay rent before, but now they wanted to.

Later, he learned that some contractors, judging others by their own standards, thought that maybe it was because they were using his houses for free that Su Shao had intervened in such trivial matters, hoping to get closer to him and make up for it, so as not to miss out on future projects.

According to the assistant's office, someone responsible for managing the houses in the World Garden community had contacted those contractors. It was probably not just a rumor...

February 12th.

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye since meeting with Vice President Zheng Yongwen.

The so-called plan to restructure the Hong Kong Stock Exchange hadn't made any progress, and Zheng Yongwen seemed to have disappeared, not contacting Su Yehao again.

The efficiency was indeed slow. Su Yehao knew that haste makes waste, so he stopped paying attention to this matter for the time being.

This morning.

He unexpectedly received a call from his assistant, saying that Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in the United States had contacted them, and the Gulfstream V private jet they had ordered was already on its way to Hong Kong.

Thinking of something, Su Yehao went to his study to check his email. Sure enough, he saw an email from Gulfstream, sent more than ten hours ago. Due to the time difference between the two places, he was still sleeping at that time.

The Americans were gradually getting used to communicating by email. Su Yehao only opened his email box when he had nothing to do. Missing messages was a common occurrence. It wasn't easy to contact him.

In order to avoid being disturbed, even the business cards he gave to others often had the phone number of the assistant's office on them, with a secretary responsible for relaying messages.

"Damn it! My plane is almost here. It's estimated to arrive at Hong Kong International Airport around nine o'clock tonight!"

Downstairs, Su Yehao excitedly shared the good news.

Little Nizi and Jiang Yu were in the kitchen, trying to make chocolates, melting the chocolates they bought and pouring them into the molds they bought, with no technical content at all.

Valentine's Day was in two days. They had been working for more than two hours, making a lot of waste products, and always felt that they didn't look pretty enough.

In fact, Su Yehao was already tired of eating them today and had no expectations for this thing at all.

Hearing him talk about the plane.

Little Nizi looked up and said in surprise, "Oh, that's a coincidence. Didn't you say you were going to Milan Fashion Week a while ago? The newly bought plane always has to be tested, right? Just take Jiang Yu with you."

"Me? Forget it. School is starting, and you two skip class all the time. I'm still thinking about studying for a master's degree," Jiang Yu said.

Test driving a car was fine.

As for testing a plane... no matter how she thought about it, she didn't feel at ease.

Su Yehao stroked his chin and said:

"Don't worry. When the plane arrives, we'll go visit it first. Then let the captain fly to Tokyo, Japan, and register it with a leasing company. Then we'll sit on it and try it out. It's like a test flight. Life is important."

Jiang Yu immediately found the problem and asked in surprise, "Wouldn't the captain be very unlucky? By the way, shouldn't the plane have already been test flown after it was made? Otherwise, how would you know if it's safe?"

"... They've been specially trained. They should be more courageous."

Su Yehao hadn't really understood how safety was tested, thinking about asking someone later how many test flights were actually carried out before delivery.

At this time.

The phone rang. He took out his newly bought Motorola i1000plus phone. After reading it, he found that it was Chu Jun, the second shareholder of Yinhai. The two hadn't been in contact for a while.

The familiar flip phone felt much better than before.

After answering, Su Yehao said hello. Chu Jun's enthusiastic voice came from the other side: "Hahaha! Little Su, am I disturbing you?"

"I'm free. Is there anything you need? I heard you're retired. You're really a rare guest..."
