Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Original Sin 87

Liu Cheng didn’t know where his luck came from, but he got wind of this news and bought a piece of land on the commercial street in advance. He then built several large malls and two office buildings, making a huge profit and surpassing other enterprises in H City, becoming the true leader in H City.

Speaking of Yun Shuangshuang, her Red Dust is currently making money like flowing water, but Red Dust has only been around for a few short years. In contrast, even though Liu Cheng’s company was founded by him, it has decades of history, and its foundation is not something Yun Shuangshuang’s Red Dust can match.

However, Yun Shuangshuang also holds shared stocks in Quanwei Company, and when combined, the amount of money in Yun Shuangshuang’s hands is quite substantial.

If Yun Shuangshuang wants to deal with Liu Cheng, she needs to use her brain well. For now, she is merely temporarily determining the direction of her future offensive.

Knowing who the enemy is, Yun Shuangshuang plans to take a trip to H City to get a feel for things first. However, Yun Shuangshuang does not intend for Feng Jinyan to return to H City just yet, to avoid running into Liu Man Ni and getting hurt again. Yun Shuangshuang plans to take Feng Jinyan to H City only after everything is settled.

Once she thought it through, she acted. Making use of the summer vacation, Yun Shuangshuang went straight to H City and started exploring around H City to familiarize herself with it thoroughly.

Speaking of which, in her past life, Yun Shuangshuang spent quite some time in H City, yet she seldom went out, never toured H City, nor did she ever take a good look at the city’s scenery.

Upon careful examination now, Yun Shuangshuang found out that the scenery of H City is truly exquisite. H City is an ancient city with many historical sites. The modern skyscrapers and the antique architecture blend into one harmonious scene. The city also boasts a very famous big lake, Feilong Lake.

Feilong Lake, like the ancient city of H City itself, has a long history. H City was built along Feilong Lake, in a crescent shape, encompassing half of Feilong Lake within H City.

Throughout history, countless poets have praised Feilong Lake with no stint of words. The lake’s surface is vast and boundless, its waters clear and emerald green, teeming with aquatic life, once sustaining countless people. Now, it remains one of the most beautiful sceneries in H City.

After spending a day lingering around Feilong Lake, Yun Shuangshuang visited the future commercial street that had propelled Liu Cheng to stardom and strolled around it several times.

This commercial street is very well-located, not far from the city center, yet not too close either. Once it becomes a commercial street, it’ll connect nicely with the city’s central commercial street, allowing people who come to the city center for shopping to conveniently shop there as well.

Although its development is bound to be booming, there are drawbacks too. The houses around here are relatively new, and there are quite a few low-rise buildings that were built not too many years ago. To develop a commercial street here would necessitate demolitions, but although this place isn’t the city center, it’s still in the inner circle of the second ring.

The land here is almost as precious as gold per square inch, and there aren’t many companies capable of affording land purchases and compensation, which makes building a commercial street incredibly challenging. Thus, this time, the government has offered many preferential policies to foster the commercial street’s development.

Despite this, no company in H City could swallow up this piece of land all at once, so several companies had to cooperate, with Liu Cheng’s company taking the largest share, from which Liu Cheng reaped the most benefits!

The land price here is very high, and Liu Cheng’s company alone couldn’t afford such a large tract of land, so Liu Cheng mortgaged and borrowed a lot of money from the bank. He began buying the land even before the government announced this commercial street plan.

Yun Shuangshuang didn’t know how Liu Cheng got to know about this commercial street plan. Still, after analyzing, she felt that this matter must be related to the family backing Liu Cheng. Feng Jinyan had once mentioned that Liu Cheng started his own business after breaking away from his family.

Although Liu Cheng’s company could mortgage to pull in funds, the amount of money was still not proportional to the land Liu Cheng eventually bought, so there should be someone who gave Liu Cheng financial aid.

Yun Shuangshuang reasoned that whether it was information or financial support, it should all come from Liu Cheng’s family. Others wouldn’t be so altruistic as to make a wedding dress for someone else. For Yun Shuangshuang to take on Liu Cheng, it effectively means indirectly confronting Liu Cheng’s family, yet Yun Shuangshuang felt no hesitation. Because if she doesn’t first cut down the big tree that is Liu Cheng, she cannot possibly take down her real enemy, Liu Zhen.

After making several rounds on this future commercial street, Yun Shuangshuang calculated the assets she already had. If she were to leverage everything, she could only buy a piece of land equivalent to half of what Liu Cheng owned. That would be useless. How could she expect to compete head-to-head with Liu Cheng over such limited territory? The odds were too slim, not worth trying!

Reminding a few other major companies in H City to purchase land early to seize precedence and leave no land for Liu Cheng to buy was futile since those companies were already participating in the commercial street plan. Their capacity to absorb land was equally limited, and there was no competitive relationship with Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng intended to preemptively buy land to secure the best spot, but in the case of a bustling commercial street, location doesn’t matter much when foot traffic is abundant!

Liu Cheng’s early move could indeed draw a few more customers, but that extra customer base wasn’t enough to provoke other companies to risk offending Liu Cheng and his powerful backers, the Liu Family, for a piece of land.

After three consecutive days of consideration, Yun Shuangshuang finally gave up the idea of targeting this commercial street. It was too challenging!

After wandering around H City for nearly a month, Yun Shuangshuang finally came up with a plan. The plan gradually improved with Yun Shuangshuang’s thinking and wandering these days. Yun Shuangshuang was confident that if the plan could be implemented smoothly, it could effectively topple Liu Cheng, the big tree!

Yun Shuangshuang felt she didn’t need to focus on the commercial street. As the saying goes, ”the stone of another mountain can polish jade,” if the plan is well thought out, anything is possible.

However, Yun Shuangshuang realized that this plan was a bit large for her to tackle alone; she needed a strong ally to join her!

As for who this powerful ally would be, Yun Shuangshuang had already decided—it would be Wan Yan’s Quanwei Company. Yun Shuangshuang was unsure about Wan Yan’s background, but given the major company bosses like Liu Cheng among those flattered Li Ming while filming movies, it was apparent that Li Ming’s family background was anything but ordinary.

Therefore, Wan Yan and Feng Jing, who had played with Li Ming since childhood, likely had backgrounds no less impressive than Liu Cheng’s backers, the Liu Family.

In recent years, Quanwei Company has grown rapidly, expanding nationwide. Putting aside its background, Wan Yan and Feng Jing’s energy alone was quite formidable. It might not even require Wan Yan’s background forces to deal with Liu Cheng’s powerful family, the Liu Family.
