Chapter 317: Chapter 317 Opportunity to Make Big and Quick Money
```
"Xu Yang, congratulations on crushing Changsheng Furniture and creating a miracle that's never before seen in the past or will ever be in the future,"
As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Guanglei began to suck up.
"You're calling me, what's the matter?" Xu Yang rolled his eyes, not wanting to listen to Chen Guanglei's nonsense.
"Xu Yang, I'm calling first to congratulate you, and second to say I'm sorry," Chen Guanglei said.
"Hmm," Xu Yang responded indifferently.
He clearly understood Chen Guanglei's intent—now that Changsheng Furniture was done for, Chen Guanglei couldn't sit still anymore, for fear that he would be Xu Yang's next target.
Actually, had Chen Guanglei not called, Xu Yang really hadn't planned on doing anything to him.
After all, although the incident stemmed from Chen Guanglei, it didn't really have much to do with him.
To tell the truth, the gap between the two was too big, and Xu Yang couldn't be bothered to trouble Chen Guanglei.
But since Chen Guanglei had called, it was time to see what the other party had to say.
"Xu Yang, I'll compensate you with fifty million, as spiritual damage fees for your father. I hope you can be generous and not pursue my responsibility anymore," Chen Guanglei said.
"I'm not interested in money," Xu Yang quoted Mr. Ma's famous line, feeling quite pleased with himself.
"Then what do you want? I have a shop worth about fifty million. It's likely to appreciate in value in the future. Would you be interested in that?" Chen Guanglei asked.
That shop was purchased by his father five years ago.
Initially, Chen Guanglei didn't even know about it.
It was only after his father died that he went through his father's assets and discovered this.
"A shop? Where?" Xu Yang asked curiously.
"In the heart of the old city district, currently leased out to someone running a supermarket," Chen Guanglei replied.
The center of the old city district didn't have much room for appreciation anymore.
Xu Yang was going to refuse when the system alert sounded in his mind.
[Ding! The municipal government of Jiang City is planning to redevelop the old city district, and the core area of the old city district has huge potential for appreciation!]
Xu Yang's eyes lit up.
However, the system did not specify when the municipal government would redevelop the old city district.
"Alright, compensate me with that shop, and we'll consider this matter settled," Xu Yang said.
This was an opportunity to make a fortune—to get the shop first and then sweep up other plots in the old city district.
"Okay, thank you," Chen Guanglei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Prepare the contract and come to my company," Xu Yang said.
"Which company are you at?" Chen Guanglei asked.
Xu Yang's companies were numerous—Yang Xin Investment, Yang Xin Gaming, Style Media, Water Bottom Fishing...
"Yang Xin Investment," Xu Yang replied.
End of call.
More than half an hour later, Chen Guanglei arrived with the contract.
After signing the contract, Chen Guanglei left.
Finally, this matter was settled.
It allowed Chen Guanglei to heave a long sigh of relief.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sleep peacefully.
Back in his car, ready to drive away.
At that moment, his phone rang—it was a friend calling.
"Hello, Old Dong," Chen Guanglei answered the call.
"Chen Guanglei, you've made a big fortune this time!" Dong Zhe said.
"Are you here to mock me?" Chen Guanglei was somewhat displeased.
His friend was aware of the issue with him offending Xu Yang.
"I have no reason to mock you. I'm serious. However, this depends on whether your company can survive Xu Yang's onslaught," Dong Zhe continued.
```
"I advise you to take the initiative to apologize to Xu Yang and compensate him to seek his forgiveness, otherwise you definitely won't be able to withstand it."
"He even took down Changsheng Furniture, so taking down your Triumph Investment would be way too easy for him."
Dong Zhe had always been persuading Chen Guanglei to take the initiative in offering compensation.
No matter what the business war is, Xu Yang is not someone Chen Guanglei can afford to provoke.
"I have already made the compensation, and Xu Yang has forgiven me, so my issue with him is over," Chen Guanglei said.
"That's great, how much did you compensate?" Dong Zhe asked.
"Fifty million," Chen Guanglei said.
"Fifty million to escape disaster is really not much, especially since they brought down a corporation worth tens of billions," Dong Zhe said.
"What did you mean just now when you said I made a big profit? I'm feeling annoyed, and I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's change the subject," Chen Guanglei said, feeling agitated.
"Haven't you seen the news?" Dong Zhe asked.
"What news? I didn't see it, I've been busy with compensating Xu Yang just now, and I've only just finished," Chen Guanglei said.
"Just now, the municipal government announced the renovation of our old city district, and the land prices there are going to skyrocket very quickly."
"I remember you told me a while ago that your dad bought a shop in the center of the old city, right?"
"That shop of yours is right at the core of the old city district, and it's now worth at least seventy to eighty million."
"Let's not talk about the money, haven't you always wanted to get into the real estate industry? This would be a very big chip; with this shop, you could officially enter the real estate industry."
This was the reason Dong Zhe said that Chen Guanglei had made a big profit.
"What!" Chen Guanglei almost bit his own tongue.
He thought that the shop's potential for appreciation was not great anymore, which is why he used it as compensation for Xu Yang.
He never expected such a thing to happen.
"Chen Guanglei, if you don't enter the real estate industry, sell the shop to my dad." Dong Zhe's family was in real estate.
"That shop is gone," Chen Guanglei said bitterly.
"Gone? What do you mean?" Dong Zhe asked, not understanding.
"I compensated Xu Yang with it," Chen Guanglei admitted frankly.
"What! How could you think of using that shop for compensation?" Dong Zhe was even more puzzled.
"I thought the shop had limited room for appreciation, so I compensated him with it," Chen Guanglei said bitterly.
"You..." Dong Zhe really didn't know what to say.
He had missed the opportunity to get into the real estate industry.
"Who could have expected this," Chen Guanglei said with a bitter expression.
Even though the real estate industry is no longer what it once was, it's still one of the pillars of the national economy.
Entering the real estate business is still very promising.
Ever since he took over Triumph Investment, he had been wanting to get into the real estate industry.
But he never found the right opportunity.
If he hadn't compensated Xu Yang with the shop, it would indeed have been an opportunity.
But now, that opportunity was gone.
"Sigh, in that case, you really have no chance now," Dong Zhe sighed.
"There's nothing I can do about it, who knew this would happen, I've just signed the contract," Chen Guanglei said with bitterness in his tone.
Anything associated with Xu Yang was bad luck for him.
Whether it was predicting the futures market, picking up bargains in the antique street, gambling on stones, acquiring guilds, or acquiring Qianjiao Company...
All these things bore Xu Yang's shadow.
Whether Xu Yang did it deliberately or not, Chen Guanglei was the losing party.
"Alright then, let's leave it at that, I have other things to do, I'm hanging up now," Dong Zhe ended the call.
"This Xu Yang, is simply toxic."
Putting down his mobile phone, Chen Guanglei couldn't help but give a bitter smile and drove away.
