Di Pei

After the exams I spent two weeks with my family and friends. But all good things come to an end. We had to separate. Finn still has to continue his work at his father's business as well as Chen and Alex.

As far as Anabel and Alexa are concerned, well Anabel helps her parents in their hospital and Alexa is with my mother after all Phoenix Fashion will belong to her. This is the business my mom set up and decided to give it to Alexa. And it is a very recognized company. I must admit that my mother is no less brilliant than my father.

I am now at City S and I see that the work is well advanced. We are already in the final phase. The place is completely different from what it was before. There are several villas, a large supermarket, restaurants ect. With the number of people I have employed, if the constructions were not in their last phase I would have asked where my money went. I must also congratulate Jamal and Fabien for their good work in my absence. The business is running well and the various projects we have invested in pay very well.

It's been a week since I have come. Jamal and me where going to the office. I have some files in my hand and were reading them. They are proposition some company send to me.

We were in an old district of City S, and there were many people as well as policemen gathered around the entrance of a street, fiercely arguing.

Two groups of people stood against each other in the middle of a crowd.

A group of citizens all had sticks and brooms in their hands, while the other group, who were policemen, all had their hands on their guns.

"Din Pei, it's illegal to use violence against the police. As a senior, you should know that! How dare you lead others to resist us on the street! You'll be taken into the police station!" a man who was around 30-years-old loudly said to a man in his middle forties.

"It's you who aren't being honest! You can't blame us. We agree that the real estate businessmen need to acquire land to develop a new city, but you should at least give us a reasonable price!"

Din Pei argued angrily.

Hearing that, I immediately understood what was going on here. The real estate businessman wanted to acquire the land, but was rejected because of the low compensation.

"Exactly! Don't think that we know nothing about it. The acquisition of land in districk F last year is a great example. The location of the land is nearly similar to Zheng Street, and the foundation was worth twenty thousand yuan, while the building area was At least ten thousand yuan per square meter. However, what did you do this time? The foundation is only worth Forty thousand yuan, and the building area is only six thousand yuan per square meter. Aren't you hurting our interests?"

Another person said with indignation.

"How can you be so dishonest? Are you not afraid of being punished by God?"

All the citizens criticized.

Hearing that, I was not mad. It was truly unfair, but what can they do?. They have no money or power, they can be crush like ant and nobody will defend them.

I had inspected the surrounding area just then. It was a great location, and it would be reasonable if the foundation was worth twenty thousand yuan, and the building area was ten thousand yuan per square meter. Although it was an old district which wasn't as prosperous as the newer ones, there were schools around, including primary, middle and high schools, supermarket ect. Therefore, many would come here to buy houses if there were more living areas. It would be a very profitable deal.

Thinking of that, an idea dawned on me. I decided to acquire this land.

Since this Hongdy Real Estate gave them a low price, then I would set a more reasonable price.

"You…"

The man who was standing against Din Pei was called Zang Guand. He was the leader of this area, and he didn't know how to argue with those citizens, because he really had planned to take the extra money into his own pocket.

"Zang Guand, let me tell you that if Hongdy Real Estate can't give us a reasonable price, we won't comprise no matter what happens,"

Din Pei said with determination.

"Fine! Let's see what you can do"

Zang Guand didn't know how to solve the problem now, so he could only threaten them before walking away with the policemen.

Luckily, no one was injured in this mess.

After Zang Guand and the policemen were gone, I open the car and walked to Din Pei.

Although jamal didn't know what I was going to do, he listened to me and waited by the car.

"Hi, Mr. Din, may I talk to you?"

I asked politely.

Since Din Pei was able to lead them to resist the acquisition, he must be an influential figure among the citizens.

Din Pei thought that I was a student in his school. He failed to recognize me, but since I had something to talk to him about, he didn't reject. Afterwards, Din Pei walked aside with me.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

He asked. He was still mad, but tried his best to remain gentle in front me.

I didn't hide my intention, and asked directly,

"I noticed that you were arguing over the acquisition of this land. Is it because you don't want to leave here, or are you not satisfied with the compensation?"

Hearing that, he sighed resignedly and explained.
