On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the snow was particularly heavy.
On the 16th floor of Heping Building, in the conference hall, Lu Dongjun and Chu Er finalized the Paramount business.
Eight hundred thousand oceans, Paramount was handed over to Chu Er from the Lu family's name.
Paramount's land deeds, house deeds, and various business deeds were all transferred to Chu Er. The notary issued the documents, and reporters arrived at the scene to report.
800,000 yuan, all of Chu Er's savings were spent.
Except for the house where she lived, all the outhouses and all the properties were sold.
Except for her business, she still kept it, and all other shares invested in other people's businesses were recovered.
She also owed more than 200,000 yuan in foreign debt, and finally took over Paramount.
Doesn't anyone in the Chu family care about her troubles?
No one really cares.
Chu Er's identity is very different from other rich ladies.
Five years ago, while teaming up with the Lu family to open up new lands, the head of the Chu family, Chu Er's father, was seriously injured and died. The Chu family is currently jointly run by her eldest brother and two aunts.
After Chu Er received part of the property, she managed her own business independently. In the past five years, she had paid a certain amount of bonus to the Chu family every year. As for how Chu Er ran the business, no one else was allowed to interfere.
Chu Er was very excited when he got the Paramount. He was still walking up and down in the Paramount until late at night.
In fact, Paramount is not too high or too big, with only three floors in total, but it is the sign of Green Water City, a sign that is even more dazzling than the Peace Building.
People in Green Water City may not envy the suits and leather shoes in the Peace Building, but they will definitely yearn for the feasting and feasting of Paramount.
The first floor is a hotel with a total of six banquet halls and more than 100 large and small private rooms.
The second floor is the dance hall, which is the essence of Paramount. There is a large dance floor, five round halls, and 16 celebrity rooms.
Needless to say, there is a large dance floor, with band accompaniment and diva singing, mainly jazz. Elegant classical music and popular modern music are also common. Paramount's large dance floor can accommodate thousands of people. Every year, the song and dance queen is
Selected from Paramount.
The round halls are smaller than the large dance floors. Each round hall can accommodate a hundred or ten people and is suitable for gatherings. In other states, they are often called parties.
The celebrity wing is special. Each wing can accommodate more than ten people. The celebrity sings for the distinguished guests alone in the wing.
Imagine what it would be like to have a popular singer sing for one person alone in a box.
If it goes well, maybe I can offer something else.
The wing of the famous actress is exclusive to the diva. The wing of the diva Xia Yijun is called Yijunzhai. As long as Xia Yijun is still under Paramount, the name of this wing will not change.
If Xia Yijun is fired by Paramount, or if she changes jobs, someone else will take over the wing.
Of course, not every diva can occupy a wing at Paramount. There are divas every year, and there is only one at Paramount.
The queen of songs at that time, Jiang Mengting, had her own exclusive wing in Paramount, called Mengting Residence. Later, Chu Er paid a high price and poached her away from Paramount.
Later, I don’t know what means Ma Wu used to poach Jiang Mengting away from Chu Er.
None of this matters now.
Now the entire Paramount belongs to Chu Er!
Chu Er went to the third floor of Paramount. There were seventy-six suites on the third floor. She opened the one with the best view and looked at the endless flow of pedestrians, cars and horses on the street.
For a while, Chu Er had the illusion that the entire Green Water City belonged to her.
For now, the most dazzling signboard in Green Water City does belong to her.
Yang Yanzheng said from the side: "Miss, how about we open the business today."
Because Lu Dongjun was involved in a series of turmoils, Paramount has been closed for several days.
As soon as the newspaper report went out today, many people already asked about ordering meals and rooms.
Paramount has never been short of business.
But Chu Er doesn’t want to open today.
"Don't be in a hurry. The opening has a good momentum. Choose a good day. Let's hold a singing party and send a message to all the major families. All the respectable people are invited to come!"
Yang Yanzheng frowned and did not dare to speak.
Chu Er has spent all his money, and now he wants to hold a singing concert again.
It’s serious to open the business as soon as possible to recover the capital. Can’t we wait until after the new year to hold singing concerts and the like?
The lady gave the order, and Yang Yanzheng had no choice but to take care of it. Before he could go out, Chu Er specially told him: "Send a post to Ma Wu and tell him to come. I'll see if he feels itchy or not.
I will discuss the price with him then, and if he can make Paramount more attractive, I am willing to return Xiaoyaowu to him!"
…
Ma Wu was reading a newspaper in Lanyang Village. When he saw Chu Er buying Paramount, the newspaper almost fell to the ground.
not good!
This crazy woman really stirred up a hornet's nest. How could Chu Er make such a mistake after so many years of failure in the business world?
She wanted Paramount so much.
In fact, Ma Wu could understand that if he were in Chu Er's position, he might have taken over Paramount at all costs. Paramount's allure to a businessman was too great.
Ma Wu was calculating the next direction of the matter, and he soon saw a novel on the fourth page.
The grievances and hatreds between the down-and-out young man and the infatuated young lady.
Ma Wu had not noticed this novel before, but he noticed it today.
The position of this novel has changed. This is not a short story. It has been serialized for several issues. Its usual position is not conspicuous. Today it occupies the headline of the fourth page.
The location alone was not enough to attract Ma Wu's attention. The key was that Lanyang Village was mentioned in this novel.
Ma Wu read the content of the novel. Although the names of Ma Wu and Chu Er were not mentioned in it, it was the story of two people.
He looked through old newspapers and found that as the news about Chu Er increased, the status of this novel also soared.
Today, the news of Chu Er's acquisition of Paramount dominated the front page, and this novel also made the headlines of the supplement.
Ma Wu must face the reality. In the eyes of outsiders, his relationship with Chu Er is no longer that simple.
Chu Er has stirred up a hornet's nest, will it affect him?
Sure enough, disaster has arrived.
In the evening, Ma Wu asked someone to buy an evening newspaper, and he was shocked to see a news on the second page: Ma Junyang may come out to raise the banner of Paramount for the Chu family.
Who the hell made this rumor?
Who said I want to take up the banner of the Chu family?
My surname is not Chu, so why did I choose her as my wife? Why did I get married?
Ma Wu had a premonition that the wasp was coming.
No, you have to find a place to avoid the limelight first. The major families may try something against Ma Wu at any time.
Although Zuo Wugang was hired, a sixth-level martial arts cultivator may not be so safe. Ma Wu was wondering where to hide when he saw Li Banfeng wearing a suit and a top hat, holding a
Feather duster, opened the door.
He wiped the snow flakes off his body with a feather duster, sat next to the fireplace and warmed himself up for a while.
Ma Wu said with a look of surprise: "Brother Li, you are finally back!"
Li Banfeng walked for eighteen days, three days when he left, and half a month when he came back.
There was only one reason why it took so long to come back. He had to take a Jin Yuan Dan every day.
After eating a total of fifteen pills along the way, Li Banfeng earned four years, one month, and six days of cultivation. Adding in the time he had saved before, he now has a total of sixteen years, eight months, and seventeen years.
Tian's cultivation is getting closer and closer to the third level.
At the third level, with twenty years of cultivation, even if Li Banfeng entered the profession at the age of ten and practiced step by step, he would still be at least thirty years old.
Now in his early twenties, the third-floor travel repair is within reach, and the third-floor home repair has been obtained. If others know about this, he must not worship him. If others know about this... Li Banfeng probably won't live long.
This also gave Li Banfeng an idea. He wanted to open up a new land and try to avoid the sight of others.
The new land is very suitable for practicing. If you have nothing to do, you can catch some lonely ghosts to bring food to the wife, and then find some rare birds and animals to make elixirs for Red Lotus. You can earn a lot of time traveling in dangerous places, and you don't have to waste the elixirs.
Isn't life perfect?
In addition to practicing cultivation, he also wanted to build a shelter in Xindi. If an unmanageable situation arises, staying in Xindi can be considered as a retreat.
Li Banfeng had planned it on the road, but he lacked experience in opening up wasteland, so he had to discuss the matter with Ma Wu.
Ma was opposed to it at first.
The education he received since childhood made him have a deep prejudice against Xindi. In Ma Wu's view, Xindi is dangerous and cannot be easily set foot in.
But his thoughts paused for a few seconds, and Ma Wu suddenly came back to his senses.
Don’t you plan to go out and take refuge?
Isn’t SHKP one of the best choices?
It was indeed risky to go to new lands to open up wasteland in the past, but the situation is different now, they have Zuo Wugang on their hands!
Ma Wu thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I'm going to call the big boss and bring Zhen Jincheng and Cao Zhida with me. Let's get together and start clearing wasteland!"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Zuo Wugang can't go. If he leaves, there will be no one in Lanyang Village, and I'm afraid someone will come and cause trouble."
When Zuo Wugang refused to go, Ma Wu felt a little frightened again: "It's just Zhen Jincheng and Cao Zhida who will open up wasteland, I'm afraid it won't be reliable."
Li Banfeng shook his head slightly and said, "According to my opinion, I won't even bring them two."
"They don't bring any?" Ma Wu was shocked, "Brother Li, you mean, just the two of us to open up wasteland?"
Huan repairs the first floor and travels to repair the second floor. Ma Wu feels that it is too risky for the two of them to open up wasteland alone.
Li Banfeng said: "My idea is that you tell me the process of land reclamation and I will open up the land myself without even having to go."
"That won't work! There are some things that I can't explain, and I have to do it myself." Ma Wu wanted to take refuge in a new place, and he had to go with him.
"If you come with me, what will you do about your cultivation?" Li Banfeng is a traveling cultivator, so walking is considered a cultivation practice, while Ma Wu is a cultivator who enjoys it, so he will definitely not be allowed to take a girl with him on this trip.
Ma Wu thought for a moment and said: "Let's use pills to support it. The Jin Yuan Pill I took before has saved me a hundred days. I can open up wasteland for up to a month and then just treat it as a rest. I can bear it."
Li Banfeng agreed: "Okay, let's go together and talk about the rules of land reclamation first. Do we have to prepare offerings first?"
Ma Wu nodded and said: "Offerings are easy to say, as long as there is wine and food. The richer the wine and food, the faster the Earth God in the wasteland will respond."
Li Banfeng thought this was easy: "Then let Xiaochuanzi prepare and bring all the best food and drink we can get."
"Brother Li, you have to act within your ability."
"How can we give a little food and drink within our means? Why can't we afford it?"
"I can afford food and drink, but I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it. On the wasteland, within a hundred miles, there is usually only one Earth God.
If this land god accepts our offerings, he will reward us with a plot of land. The more offerings, the bigger the plot will be."
Li Banfeng nodded and said happily: "Bigger is better, bigger is better!"
Ma Wu shook his head: "It's good to be bigger, but it still has to be affordable. The land god gave the land, but it's not for nothing. We have to pass the school entrance examination."
Let's sprinkle blood on the land and make a contract, which will take effect one day later.
When the land developer enters the land, the land god summons the surrounding aliens and besieges the land developer. The land developer holds the land for three days and does not cross the boundary. The land is ours. This is called a test in the jargon."
Li Banfeng understood this rule. The old gatekeeper of Yujiazhai had said that the land pioneers and the owners of the new land did not have to be the same group of people. The owners of the new land would first shed blood to sign the contract, and the land pioneers would not enter the new land until the next day.
Ma Wu continued: "Plots of land are generally divided into four categories. The smallest category is one mile in radius. The local god will summon ordinary aliens to take the exam. Under normal circumstances, it only takes three or five times. If you are lucky, there are only a few.
Those who come once are not lucky, and some come more than ten times.
This kind of wasteland can be opened by finding five or six first-level cultivators. If you really can't find any cultivators, there is hope if you find dozens of strong men. However, there are other troubles when there are too many people. We will elaborate on it on the way.
"
Li Banfeng recalled Yu Nan's Yujiazhai in Xindi. It was less than a mile in radius. It was estimated that some areas had not been fully developed and it should be the smallest wasteland.
Ma Wu continued: "The second type of wasteland is three miles in radius. This type of wasteland is much more difficult. The Earth God will summon more than a dozen different species a day to attack the people who opened the wasteland in turn.
If you want to open up a three-mile radius, you have to hire professionals like Da Boyens to come over and open up land. Da Boyens charges a very high price, and he usually only provides guidance and rarely does it himself, and he may not be able to successfully open the land.
The bigger one is a land with a radius of five miles. This kind of land needs at least an eighth-level cultivator to be able to hope to open up the wasteland. All the people sent by the Earth God are ruthless, and Mrs. Demi Moth is not uncommon.
,
The largest one has a radius of ten miles. I don’t understand this. It is said that the Lu family once teamed up with the Chu family to open up a ten-mile wasteland, but they failed. This is how the head of the Chu family died.
Brother Li, with the strength you and I have today, it is already a blessing to be able to open a piece of wasteland with a radius of one mile, so the offerings must be moderate.
If too many offerings are prepared and the land god becomes happy and gives us a plot of land with a radius of ten miles, the land reclamation is doomed to fail."
"If you fail, you will fail. If you do it again, you will do it again." Li Banfeng was very tolerant.
Ma Wu shook his head and said: "We can't do this again. If we fail to open up wasteland, we will be looked down upon by the local gods. Within a radius of a hundred miles, the two of us can no longer open up wasteland. We can't be the masters, nor can we be the pioneers."
PS: What should you do if you meet Mrs. Demi Moth while opening up wasteland?
