76 A Crazy Idea

Sang Yang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

‘Such a young person wants to start a company? Is he serious? He wants to enter the real estate industry at such a young age? Young people nowadays are really capable…’

Sang Yang’s eyes carried a hint of admiration as he looked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was dressed in an ordinary white shirt and black pants. He looked like a scholar.

Then, Sang Yang turned to Jiang Feng’s second uncle and asked, “Buddy, are you sure about him?”

“Yes. Trust me. Sang Yan, we’ll definitely succeed,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said as he patted Sang Yan’s shoulder.

Sang Yan still found the matter hard to believe. He moved to stand in front of Jiang Feng before he asked skeptically, “Kid, how are you going to start a company? You’re only in your twenties. Don’t joke around.” Then, he shook his head and said to Jiang Feng’s second uncle, “Buddy, what are you thinking? You actually believe the words of a child. I still think you should come and work at the company I’m working for.”

It was not surprising that Sang Yang did not believe in Jiang Feng’s capability. He did not have the time or the energy to play with a child. He still had his parents and children to look after, and he was also getting older.

Jiang Feng’s second uncle said seriously, “Sang Yan, if you don’t want to join us, I naturally won’t blame you. However, I really trust my nephew. I want to rebuild the company. You know I don’t say such words lightly.”

“This…” Sang Yan hesitated.

Sang Yan naturally wanted to help his good friend through difficult times and rebuild the company. It was also a good thing to be able to work with his good friend again. However, it was difficult for him to trust the ability of a young man.

Seeing the troubled and conflicted expression on Sang Yan’s face, Jiang Feng’s second uncle patted Sang Yan’s shoulder and said, “It’s fine. I’ll be happy if you join us, but if you don’t, it’s fine as well.”

“Buddy, it’s not that I don’t want to help you rebuild the company, but young people are rash. What are your plans?” Sang Yang could not make up his mind. He turned to look at Jiang Feng with doubts written all over his face.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Feng’s second uncle also remembered he had yet to hear about Jiang Feng’s plan. He asked, “That’s right, Little Feng. What are your plans?”

Jiang Feng smiled and said solemnly, “I want to buy a piece of land we saw yesterday.”

Sang Yan was stunned. “Don’t tell me you’re talking about the land that your second uncle wasted a lot of money trying to buy?”

“Yes.” Jiang Feng nodded.

“Are you crazy?!” Sang Yan’s voice grew louder and louder as he said, “Buddy, it’s not like you don’t know it yourself! That land is trouble! You’ll only lose money!”

Jiang Feng’s second uncle was also stunned. He did not expect Jiang Feng to want that piece of land that could not make money. Moreover, it was due to that piece of land that he lost his company. He did not understand why Jiang Feng would want that piece of land. If Jiang Feng went down this path, would his beautiful life now not disappear? He could not let Jiang Feng follow down this path.

Jiang Feng’s second uncle was both anxious and angry as he said, “Little Feng, what are you thinking? Didn’t you hear what your second aunt said? It’s because of that piece of land that I lost everything! Do you want to lose everything you’ve worked so hard for?”

Jiang Feng’s second uncle was so angry that he began to sway on his feet, looking like he was about to faint.

Jiang Feng quickly rushed over to support his second uncle. He explained, “Second Uncle, my decision isn’t wrong. That piece of land is very useful. Please calm down. You have to think about your health.”

“How can I calm down? Initially, I thought the subway line would pass through that piece of land so I was determined to buy it. However, news has already spread; the land has no value now. How can you act so rashly?” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said as he shook his head and gestured with his hands, “I thought you had a proper plan. I didn’t expect you to set your eyes on that piece of land. No, no, you can’t act so rashly.”

Sang Yan said with a hint of helplessness, “You’re as stubborn as your second uncle. I don’t know if your second aunt told you about it, but the price of the land had dropped greatly. After all, the news is quite credible even if it’s not an official announcement.”

At the same time, Sang Yang sighed inwardly. He was happy when he heard that his friend wanted to rebuild his company, but it seemed like it would only remain a dream now. Even if they obtained the land, it would only cause them to lose money. What was the point of obtaining something that would only waste money?

‘As expected, you can’t trust young people… It’s a pity seeing that my old friend was so hopeful just a moment ago…’

Jiang Feng shook his head and said firmly, “I disagree. I think that piece of land will give us a pleasant surprise. Second Uncle, trust me. Even if I fail, I can start over again. I’ll take responsibility for everything.”

Sang Yan said just as firmly, “You’re young so you can start again. But what about us? You should consider your second uncle. It’s impossible to make money from that piece of land. Your second uncle has experience with it!”

Sang Yan was determined not to let his old friend make the same mistake again.

Jiang Feng’s second uncle said, “Little Feng, I’ve already investigated everything. The value of that piece of land will drop even more greatly in the future. When the subway line is formally announced, you’ll lose everything. I’m not trying to discourage you, but you’re young and impetuous. No one wants that piece of land…”

“It’s good that no one wants it. I’ll buy it. Second Uncle, I’m serious about buying it, and I won’t change my mind,” Jiang Feng said and pursed his lips. After a moment, he added, “What if we make money? Since the subway line hasn’t been announced, nothing is certain.”

“That piece of land is beyond the subway line. It’s not only me, the others are also certain that this piece of land has no value. You’ll only lose money if you buy it,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said with a frown. His expression was grim seeing how determined Jiang Feng was. He really could not watch as Jiang Feng made the same mistakes he did.

Jiang Feng said confidently, “The present is different from the past. Second Uncle, you just have to provide me with the right channels and connections. I’ll do everything on my own. I have to fight for my future!”

Sang Yang smiled faintly. He found Jiang Feng very courageous. He really wanted to fight side by side with his old friend again, but he really did not know if the young man in front of him was reliable or not.

When Jiang Feng’s second uncle saw Sang Yan looking at him, he understood Sang Yan’s meaning. He sighed heavily as he patted Sang Yan’s shoulder and said, “Don’t look at me. He’s my nephew. Based on this relationship alone, I have to help him no matter what. However, Sang Yan, you should decide for yourself.”

After saying that, Jiang Feng’s second uncle turned and said in a low voice, “Little Feng, Sang Yan has very good judgment. Since he doesn’t think much of your plan, I really suggest that you give up.”

Jiang Feng remained calm. He only nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard his second uncle’s words. In fact, he understood his second uncle’s thoughts. His second uncle was worried and confused. His second uncle was afraid his judgment would be impaired due to their relationship. Hence, his second uncle brought him to meet Sang Yan. In a way, it could be considered a test as well.

At this time, Jiang Feng’s second uncle said, “Both of you can talk. I’ll leave both of you alone.”

After Jiang Feng’s second uncle walked away, Sang Yan asked solemnly, “Put everything else aside, how much money do you have?”
