Chapter 2059 Strange Visitor

Upon entering the conference room, Bai Kaixuan bowed to Pi Yangyang, his face full of gratitude, and said, "Chairman Pi, I'm here today mainly to thank you for helping me out of that predicament last time. If it weren't for you, Huading might have already been taken back by the old man."

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "It's nothing, just a coincidence. How about it, has no one been causing trouble at Huading these past few days?"

"No, they must know Chairman Pi's identity and dare not cause trouble again." Bai Kaixuan lowered his posture.

Lan Bowen pointed to the chair and said, "Boss Bai, please sit down."

Bai Kaixuan and Pi Yangyang, and Lan Bowen sat down first, before Bai Kaixuan humbly sat down himself.

"Chairman Pi, General Manager Lan, regarding your company's cooperation with Huading..."

Then, Bai Kaixuan asked cautiously.

Lan Bowen said, "Our cooperation can continue, however, Huading must guarantee the quality and supply of materials. If the hospital's project progress is affected due to Huading's reasons, then Huading will bear all responsibility and compensate for the losses."

Bai Kaixuan's expression turned serious. "President Lan, rest assured, you know the quality of Huading products. They all have international certifications. As for supply, there will definitely be no problem. I will have Huading produce at maximum capacity to ensure the needs of the Yan Group are met."

Lan Bowen nodded. "Since Boss Bai dares to make such a guarantee, then there's no problem."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Kaixuan's eyes.

Huading is currently facing numerous difficulties.

Bai Zhenxing was very dissatisfied with this and once said that if Huading could not get any decent orders, he would consider taking it back and changing its manager.

Securing this order from the Yan Group was a lifesaver for him. He could use this order to shut up Bai Kaixin and the others.

Lan Bowen shouted outside, "Have Secretary Luo bring over the contract I prepared, as well as Huading's quotation."

The staff member waiting outside the meeting room agreed and went to inform Lan Bowen's secretary, Luo Wenke.

Soon, Luo Wenke came in with the documents and handed them to Lan Bowen.

Lan Bowen pulled out Huading's price list, placed it on the table, and pointed to a spot, saying, "Boss Bai, why is the price for this structural steel still the same as last year? The real estate market is sluggish now, and material prices have generally dropped. Boss Bai, you must know that, right?"

Bai Kaixuan's expression hardened. He quickly grabbed the quotation and glanced at it, then immediately said with a guilty look, "This quotation was prepared by Bai Simiao, and it does have problems. President Lan, I'll state right now that all prices will be determined according to the Yan Group's purchase price, and we'll revise it immediately. Moreover, the overall settlement price will be reduced by another 5%." How about that?

Lan Bowen looked at Bai Kaixuan with some surprise and asked suspiciously, "Lower it by another 5%? What do you mean by that?"

Bai Kaixuan said earnestly, "Although I, Bai Kaixuan, am a businessman, I am not someone who is only after profit. Chairman Pi has helped me so much, I don't know how to express my gratitude. This 5% is my way of thanking Chairman Pi for his help."

"Furthermore, I promise here that from now on, for any business I handle, as long as the Yan Group approves of it, the settlement price will be reduced by 5% from the standard price."

Lan Bowen looked at Pi Yangyang, wanting to hear Pi Yangyang's thoughts.

Pi Yangyang nodded calmly, "Then thank you for your generosity, Boss Bai."

He could certainly see Bai Kaixuan's purpose in doing so.

Giving up 5% of the profits, although a considerable loss, was Bai Kaixuan's way of using his "generosity" to forge a deep bond with the Yan family.

To put it bluntly, Bai Kaixuan just wanted to cling to the Yan family's coattails so that he would have the power to compete with his own brothers.

Therefore, he was not particularly moved by Bai Kaixuan's "generosity".

Seeing that Pi Yangyang's expression was calm, Lan Bowen naturally thought of this as well.

He was a seasoned businessman and knew Bai Kaixuan well, so he naturally understood Bai Kaixuan's purpose in doing so.

However, as the manager and shareholder of Yan's Group, he naturally had to consider the interests of Yan's Group.

A 5% discount isn't much for the Yan family, but it's still a piece of meat, so why not take it?

"Alright, since Mr. Bai is so agreeable, then I won't stand on ceremony." He laughed heartily. "I'll have the engineering department verify the price right now, and then we can officially sign the contract."

Bai Kaixuan immediately showed his gratitude, stood up and bowed deeply to Pi Yangyang and Lan Bowen, "Thank you very much, Chairman Pi and President Lan, for giving me this opportunity. Rest assured, I will do my best to complete this order and will not affect the progress of your project."

Lan Bowen grabbed the price list and handed it to Luo Wenke, asking him to send it to the engineering department to verify the prices.

After Luo Wenke left, Pi Yangyang looked at Bai Kaixuan and asked calmly, "Boss Bai, have any outsiders visited your Bai Village recently?"

Without hesitation, Bai Kaixuan replied, "That's right, several groups of people have indeed come to the village recently. They also found the old man and Bai Kaixin, but I don't know what they talked about."

"Do you know who they are?" Pi Yangyang asked again.

Bai Kaixuan said, "Although I'm not entirely sure, I'm certain they are investigators from some real estate developers."

Lan Bowen asked curiously, "How can you be so sure?"

Bai Kaixuan said, "Our area has been designated as the Xingyi Industrial Park, and this project is about to start. This is a project worth trillions of yuan, and many real estate development companies are eyeing it. They came to investigate in order to prepare for the demolition and resettlement after they get the project."

Pi Yangyang nodded. "Hmm, that makes sense. Besides these people, are there any other suspicious people going into the village? Or perhaps to other places outside the village?"

Bai Kaixuan thought for a moment, "There really is."

Pi Yangyang asked calmly, "Oh, who are they? Where did they go?"

“This group of people is very strange. They don’t enter the village. They just go around the edge of the village and come to the ancestral graves of our Bai and Wu families. If anyone gets close, they leave immediately.”

Bai Kaixuan replied with a puzzled look.

Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered.

The group of people Bai Kaixuan mentioned should be the same group that Wu Tianding saw.

Lan Bowen asked curiously, "Why did they go to your two families' ancestral graves instead of entering the village?"

“We also found it very strange,” Bai Kaixuan said with a blank look. “At the time, the old man was worried that these people were going to the ancestral graves to cause some damage, so he sent people to check and ask them about their purpose in going to the ancestral graves.”

"But these people didn't seem to like talking. They just gave a few simple answers, said they had gone to the wrong place, and then left. By the way, it was Lao Wu who led the people to ask them. He told me that these people were very strange, giving off a very oppressive feeling that made people very uncomfortable."

Pi Yangyang said calmly, "Is it because they exude murderous intent?"

Bai Kaixuan was taken aback, then said in astonishment, "Yes, that's what Lao Wu said! He said those people had sharp eyes and didn't seem like ordinary people."

Lan Bowen became even more curious, "Who exactly are they? You don't know?"

"I don't know, but I once heard the old people in the village say that decades ago, a group of strange people came and approached the heads of two families, saying they wanted to buy the back mountain of our village..."

Bai Kaixuan thought for a moment and then answered.

A sharp glint flashed in Pi Yangyang's eyes again as he asked, "Decades ago?"

“Yes, it was decades ago, when the reform and opening up had just begun…” Bai Kaixuan nodded.

"Then you didn't sell them?" Lan Bowen pressed.

Bai Kaixuan shook his head. "It wasn't sold. Back then, a feng shui master said that it was a feng shui treasure land for our two families, the place where our ancestors were buried, and it couldn't be sold. No matter how high the offer was, both families insisted on not selling. Later... those people never came back."

Hearing this, Pi Yangyang became even more convinced that his guess was correct.

Beneath those three barren burial mounds, there must lie some unknown secrets.

Otherwise, why would someone be targeting them?

"Could there be some treasure buried at the foot of that mountain?" Lan Bowen said incredulously.

Bai Kaixuan was taken aback, then laughed and said, "How could that be? The Bai and Wu families have lived there for hundreds of years and have never heard of any treasure. I think it's probably because someone has their eye on that place and wants to set up a factory there."

Pi Yangyang didn't say much, just grunted and said, "Pay attention lately. If anyone comes to the village and talks to the villagers, tell me immediately. This information is very important to me and it's related to our future cooperation."

Although Bai Kaixuan didn't quite understand, he still nodded. "It's my honor to serve Chairman Pi. I will definitely pay attention and report back at any time."

Pi Yangyang stood up and said calmly, "Alright then, you guys finalize the contract, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he left the meeting room.
