Chapter 214: Planning
Picking a small flower from a mountain stream, Ye Chen stood on the edge of the quarry pit.
Lu Rong said helplessly: "In fact, at the beginning of construction, I originally wanted to go to other places to purchase building materials that were in line with the ancient city.
But I found a lot of places, but none of them matched the materials of the old site here. Then we found a matching rough stone here in the quarry and hollowed it out in just a few months. β
Ye Chen said in a deep voice: "This is the last bit of wealth left by the ancestors, and all of them have been used to build underground fortifications.
But fortunately, now that the main body of the ancient city has been completed, the next step is to add some details locally.
This pit is made into a pit hotel, combined with other tourist facilities in the village, to form a supporting project, and completely turn this place into a tourist attraction. β
"But the Ye family compound is your mansion, if it becomes a tourist attraction, then where are you and your family going to live?"
"Open up the local area, leaving the three halls and part of the apse as our residence, and the rest of the part can be open for visiting."
Lu Rong took out the map and looked at it.
"Then I will also make the land on the hill north of Huashi Street a tourist attraction to cater to the new town project."
"Just follow this plan."
Ye Chen got up and asked Chen Huainan: "Is there a problem with building a tourism industry here?" β
"Legally, the Ye family's compound is your private property, and if you come in with tourism projects, you have to register another management company to take care of the daily work of the park."
"Then incorporate the dividend agreement signed with the villagers into this management company and start the project."
"Okay, Mr. Ye."
Back home, Ye Chen was still thinking about how to coax his mother.
I saw Shen Jiaqi sharing the local specialties he bought on the road with his mother Lu Chunfang, and the two of them were like mother and daughter.
Ye Chen bowed to his mother, "Mother, this is the flower that my son picked for you, can you look beautiful." β
Lu Chunfang pouted, twisted Ye Chen's ears and said, "Don't you know if you don't want to pick wildflowers on the side of the road, there is such a beautiful one at home, and you go outside to pick flowers, it's really unusual." β
Helplessly, Ye Chen had no choice but to admit his mistake obediently, "My son won't pick it next time." β
"That's good."
Lu Chunfang took Shen Jiaqi's hand and directly brought a pair of jade bracelets for her to wear, "It's so beautiful." β
Wang Banzhang arched his hand and said: "Master, old lady, it's time for the master and young lady to pay tribute to their ancestors." β
"Go, don't miss the hour."
With Wang Banzhang, Ye Chen took Shen Jiaqi across the west inner gate and walked straight to the Ye ancestral hall.
The servant in charge of the guard brought incense.
Ye Chen worshiped his ancestors according to Wang Banzhang's command.
Shen Jiaqi didn't understand this red tape, so he could only bow down in the same way.
When I was planting incense, I accidentally saw my sister's tablet.
"Sister's tablet?"
Wang Banzhang explained: "Mrs. protects the Ye family from disasters, so she should have this tablet. β
Ye Chen stood in front of Shen Jiahui's tablet, "Jiahui's revenge in this life has been avenged, and I pray that she can be safe and happy in the next life." β
"The master's heart for his wife can be seen by the sun and the moon."
"Who are the people outside the door?"
Wang Banzhang tilted his head slightly, "They are all housekeepers and nurses in this Ye family's compound." β
Before stepping to the door, Ye Chen looked at these people in front of him.
"They all have a plum blossom tattoo on their arms, including Lu Rong and Chen Huainan."
Ye Chen was stunned, "Is this a family mark?" β
Wang Banzhang walked out of the ancestral hall and said respectfully to Ye Chen: "Since the Ye family compound was rebuilt, there have been several rumors from the outside world that you drove away the aborigines here for your own selfish interests.
Although the engineering team involved in the construction is a team under the Huanyu Group, they are always a pawn for those big people to hold on to you.
You say that I think too much or my heart is dark, but the slave is full of advice, hoping that the master will listen to his heart. β
"Let them get busy first, we haven't talked for a long time. Jiaqi, you follow them back to the room first, and accompany my companion for me. β
The crowd dispersed.
Wang Banzhang invited Ye Chen to the library building opposite the ancestral hall.
"There seems to be a lot of books here, huh?"
"They are all modern domestic and foreign works, as well as books on economic and industrial categories that the master has studied. I've copied all the books in the library here.
Out of the front door, there is a small yard in front of it. β
While enjoying the scenery, Ye Chen followed Wang Banzhang's footsteps to the study in the front yard.
It is elegantly furnished, and the four treasures of the study room are readily available.
"This is your study, and the opposite side is the bedroom. In front of the shadow wall is the banquet living room, and a few steps further on, you can see the left and right guest rooms, kitchen, and bathroom. β
Sitting on the Beiguan chair, Ye Chen suddenly became interested, picked up a brush and wrote on the rice paper the four big characters of 'Be prepared for danger in times of peace'.
"Master, is this something on your mind?"
"It's hard to solve. A few days ago, I joined hands with foreign friends to short the international stock market, which swept the economies of Europe, the United States and Asia.
The first batch of gold that has arrived now is just an appetizer, and at least 80,000 tons of gold will arrive in the future. β
"Eighty thousand tons?! Master, you are the first to set the precedent of your ancestors. β
"That's why I secretly shipped the gold back to the mainland."
Wang Banzhang pinched his fingers and said in a deep voice: "If the master goes to Yanjing to seek officials at this moment, he will be able to prosper in official fortune and be a very popular minister."
But the master doesn't like party disputes by nature, and if he is an official, he will only tie his hands and feet to you.
On the other hand, in terms of business, you are the number one in Star City, and even Mayor Liang is full of praise for your new town plan.
At present, he is also implementing the principle of one axis and two lines, vigorously protecting the appearance of the ancient city, and developing the combination of the ancient city and the new city.
Maybe you can be his staff, less involved in disputes between right and wrong, and keep quiet. β
"But now I have collected all the gold in the world, and in the next ten years, the pattern of the world will be slow. Only China will continue to catch up with and surpass the nations and stand tall in the East. β
"If the master has this ambition, he will succeed in the future. Since you don't want to take the official road, you might as well take the old road.
These days, when I was doing antique treasure appreciation, I found a treasure that was very interesting, and I specially stored it in the study, and I wanted to read it at any time. β
As he spoke, Wang Banzhang took an antique book from the shelf in the study, "This ancient book is a classic book of the Chinese clan, which records in detail the clan prestige and ancestral halls all over the country. β
"Looks like you've already mapped out a retreat for me."
"In fact, this retreat is also inherited from the old clan map of the ancestors. I just redrew one based on that. β
"In a few days, I may have to go to the university to teach and cultivate a group of high-achieving students who understand economics, what do you think about this?"
"The protΓ©gΓ© is old, and the peach and plum are all over the world. Meddlesome. I have heard that the master's Huajin Bank is now thriving, so I might as well do more good deeds within the scope of my ability to benefit the country, the people and ourselves. β
Ye Chen frowned tightly and stretched his eyebrows, and said with a light smile: "After cracking with my father-in-law, I feel much better now." β
A nursing home came to report: "The gold goods have arrived at Yongshengmen, and the nursing homes in charge of the vault are all in place. β
"Let's go, let's see."
