Chapter 748: The Older the Wiser

Luo Cheng was already implementing the construction of the food street.

At this moment, the construction plan for the food street had been confirmed, but there were some problems regarding the land seizure.

Most people were easy to negotiate with. Those who were willing to ask for money received it. Those who were willing to ask for shops also signed contracts. After the shops on the food street were built, they would be given some shops according to the contracts. The number of shops was naturally related to the size of the land they had seized.

Of course, they would naturally encounter troublemakers when it came to land seizures.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran met quite a few troublemakers.

There were a total of three families who were unwilling to give them their land, but their land wasn’t together.

If these three families didn’t agree, the plan for the food street wouldn’t be able to proceed.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng had already decided to start a food street, so they naturally wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.

However, they couldn’t force them to buy or sell land, so they had to think of a way to persuade these three people.

Upon facing such a dilemma, Li Xiaoran thought of Old Madam Jin.

They often said that having an old person at home was like having a treasure.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng couldn’t find anyone else to ask about this, so they thought of Old Madam Jin.

After all, Old Madam Jin had been the official wife of a rich family and was in charge of the businesses of a large family, so she had encountered more things than they had.

As a result, Li Xiaoran came looking for her.

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought for a moment.

“Actually, there are only a few ways to deal with these sorts of things! You must have asked about these families, right? You have to understand why these three families are unwilling to sell land!”

“We’ve all asked around and even invited people familiar with these three families to ask around, but these three families are very tight-lipped. No matter how they ask, they won’t tell them the reason. They just say that they don’t want to. They won’t say anything else!” Li Xiaoran said in distress.

Originally, Li Xiaoran wanted to use her special ability to read these people’s minds.

Unexpectedly, these people stayed at home all day. Even when Li Xiaoran came to visit, she was rejected.

They were simply impenetrable.

Luo Cheng originally wondered if he should use force, but he was finally dissuaded by Li Xiaoran.

This was because Li Xiaoran had a feeling that it was best to resolve this matter openly. Otherwise, it would cause big trouble.

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she sat up straight and her expression turned solemn.

“Ask Luo Cheng to investigate! There must be someone behind these three families. Someone is causing trouble for you! Don’t think of other ways to resolve it. As long as you deal with the person behind the three families, the land seizure will be resolved!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she immediately understood. “Granny Jin, do you think someone is deliberately going against us?”

“That’s right! Think about it carefully. Who would do this? Don’t let go of the small fries either! You have to know that when you can’t find anyone or find a breakthrough point, there must be a small fry you ignored!” Old Madam Jin said firmly, “In addition, investigate who knows these three families or has dealings with them. Don’t stick to the same period of time. You have to be careful of people who appear at different times!”

With Old Madam Jin’s reminder, Li Xiaoran immediately knew what to do.

After sending Old Madam Jin to the sliced noodles shop, Li Xiaoran rushed back to look for Luo Cheng.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately arranged for Yu Peng to investigate.

Through this period of time, Luo Cheng saw that Yu Peng was very good at gathering and sorting out information. Moreover, the plan he had come up with was also verv foolDroof.

This talent was something no one else had.

Therefore, Luo Cheng left the investigation to Yu Peng without hesitation.

Firstly, Yu Peng had this ability, and secondly, Yu Peng was an unfamiliar face.

It was easier for an unfamiliar face to do this.

After Yu Peng received this news, he said to Luo Cheng, “Mr. Luo, why don’t you let Jiao Hang come with me?! Not only is Jiao Hang strong, but he also has an excellent memory. As long as a person catches his eye, no matter what the other party’s outfit is next time, he can tell at a glance! With Jiao Hang, we’ll definitely get twice the results with half the effort!”

Luo Cheng nodded when he heard Yu Peng’s words.

“Alright, the two of you will do this together. If you need more manpower, tell Ziyang! Ziyang will arrange everything!”

Just like that, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang went out early and returned late again to get busy with this matter.

At the same time, a fruit shop suddenly appeared in White Foothill City.

This fruit shop was called the Fresh Fruit Shop.

Such shops appeared in the entire White Foothill City overnight.

Not only in White Foothill City, but also all the towns under White Foothill City’s jurisdiction.

All kinds of fresh fruits, including some fruit plates that had once appeared in restaurants, were sold in the Fresh Fruit Shop.

There were common and uncommon fruits in the shop.

The price of the fruits varied and satisfied the needs of different groups of customers.

What was even more surprising was that these shops also offered very considerate services.

For example, they could peel, cut, and squeeze fruits for customers for free.

None of the people who went into the shop went out empty-handed.

For a moment, everyone was talking about this fresh fruit shop that had suddenly appeared.

When Li Xiaoran heard this news, she immediately smiled.

This was because this fresh fruit shop was the fruit business run by Zi Cheng and Li Liming.

Previously, Zi Cheng and Li Liming had been busy with the fruit business. From a small business, the two of them developed many more shops.

It was also for this reason that Li Liming’s ability was affirmed by Luo Cheng and he decided to keep him.

Since Li Liming had pa.s.sed the test, Li Xiaoran didn’t hide anything. She wrote down the sales method for the fruits and asked someone to give them to Li Liming.

After Li Liming received the letter and read it carefully, he immediately gasped.

At this moment, he understood that there was always someone better.

He felt that he was already a very capable businessman, but compared to the consort, he was still inferior.

Impressed by Li Xiaoran, Li Liming stopped being arrogant and began to study business.

That was why the current chain store’s business boomed..
