Chapter 1347 Money, money, and money
As Xu Banxia's due date was approaching, Su Mingzhe finally left Shen Mo and Xie Jinbao's carefree home and returned to Binhai.

As soon as he entered the house, Su Mingzhe discovered that there were guests in his house, which was rare, and he quickly greeted them with a smile:

"Dad, I'm here. Wife, Dad is here, why didn't you tell me?"

For the Su family, Xu Youren is a rare guest.

At the beginning, Xu Banxia bought several townhouses and invited Chen Yuzhou and Xu Youren to move in and be neighbors, but they refused to come.

Normally, Xu Banxia would go to the Xu family to deliver living expenses at the end of the month. And when Xu Banxia gave birth to her first two children, Xu Youren would come with his wife and children to congratulate them.

Now that Su Mingzhe saw Xu Youren appear in his home, he felt it was a bit strange.

"I just got here, too."

Seeing Su Mingzhe coming back, Xu Youren's originally relaxed sitting posture immediately became stiff.

After Xu Banxia graduated, he would send living expenses to Xu Youren at the end of every month. With the help of money, Xu Youren's resentment towards Xu Banxia for "killing" his original wife had almost disappeared.

Now Xu Banxia is more than nine months pregnant and is approaching her due date. It is very inconvenient for her to move around and she did not go to send living expenses to Xu Youren. At the urging of his wife Liu Meilan, Xu Youren had to ask for it himself.

It sounds funny, but Xu Youren and his wife Liu Meilan are just that kind of people. They are very shameless for the sake of money.

"Dad, please sit down for a moment. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."

Su Mingzhe also guessed that his sudden return might disturb Xu Youren, so he found an excuse to go upstairs.

Seeing Su Mingzhe going upstairs, Xu Youren quickly explained the matter of asking for money:
"Banxia, ​​your sister is going to junior high school soon. The tuition and living expenses of this bilingual school are much higher than those of elementary school. Can you give her more living expenses?"

Xu Qianqian started primary school in 92. This year is 97, and she is in the first grade of junior high school.

Although elementary school and junior high school are the same school, the living patterns are different.

The primary school department has a unified living fee, and the dining standards for all students are also the same.

In the junior high school, the school issued a campus card to each student.

After students have campus cards, they need to top up their living expenses into them, and then punch in to eat by themselves. They can eat whatever they want without any teachers supervising them.

With the autonomy, students' spending increased several times.

Because his daughter Su Nannan is about to go to elementary school, Xu Banxia also learned about the tuition fees of some schools.

For example, in a bilingual primary school, the monthly living fee is about 100 yuan.

However, when it comes to junior high school, the average monthly expenses for students in bilingual schools is three to five hundred yuan, and some may even spend seven to eight hundred yuan.

Xu Banxia didn't know much about what the junior high school students ate, but since her father had said so, she would not give him face, so she asked directly:

"Dad, how much do you want now?"

"Um... Banxia, ​​the living expenses you gave me before were 10,000 yuan a month. You see you are not short of money, how about giving me 20,000 yuan in the future?"

Xu Youren was cautious and quoted a price that he thought was high.

After hearing this, Xu Banxia asked the nanny to get her purse.

After opening her purse, Xu Banxia didn't count them carefully. She directly took out a thick stack of money from her purse and handed it over, then instructed:

"Dad, take this money first. Also, my due date is in the next few days. When the baby is born, don't forget to bring Qianqian over."

"Hey, hey, don't worry, my daughter, Dad won't forget, and will definitely bring your sister over!"

Without money, Xu Banxia is a good girl, but with money, she has a good daughter. Xu Youren was holding the thick stack of banknotes, and his heart and mouth were filled with joy.

After a while, Su Mingzhe changed into a sports shirt and went downstairs. Seeing Xu Youren's happy face, he knew that the old man had achieved his goal.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Xu Youren refused his daughter and son-in-law's invitation to stay for dinner and said goodbye and left.

Su Mingzhe supported Xu Banxia for a while, and after watching Xu Youren leave, he asked the woman:

"Wife, I just went upstairs and found a plan for the tidal flats. Did you ask someone to make it?"

"No, it was sent by the city leaders."

When Xu Banxia talked about this, a smug smile appeared on his face:

"You followed Soros to short the Thai baht this time and doubled our assets. After the news spread, there were too many people who were jealous. Didn't the city and the town not want to sell the tidal flat you liked before? Now they have changed their minds and are scrambling to sell it to us! Look, they have even prepared the planning map for us."

Su Mingzhe couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the city's performance. He had known for a long time that the higher-ups were obsessed with money, but he didn't expect that they would lose their temper so quickly:

"What's the price?"

Xu Banxia thought for a moment before speaking slowly:
"Because it's a tidal flat, and the leaders know we have plenty of money, they asked for 200 yuan per square meter. According to the map you drew, the total area is about 13,000 acres, and the total price of the land is 1.7 billion yuan. In addition, there are other expenses. All added up, it's probably 2.2 billion yuan."

"The price is a bit high, but... that's it!"

Su Mingzhe pondered for a moment and finally agreed to the offer made by the city leaders.

In the 1990s, spending 2.2 billion to buy 13,000 acres of tidal flats was absolutely a madman.

However, Su Mingzhe and Xu Banxia had so much money that they could not spend it all. The higher-ups had taken the initiative to quote an offer, and although the price was a little higher, it was fine if it was a little higher.

The problem is to get all the formalities completed.

There must not be any property rights disputes in the future.

After all, this is 13,000 acres of land. If the economy develops for a few more years, it may not be possible to get it even for 4 billion, let alone 2.2 billion.

Su Mingzhe wanted to finalize the matter quickly, so he called the city leaders immediately. On the one hand, he agreed to the price requirement, and on the other hand, he asked the other party to apply for approval from the province.

This tidal flat involves the collective ownership of several villages and towns. Without the approval of the provincial government, Su Mingzhe did not dare to buy it.

When the city learned of Su Mingzhe's request, they didn't think too much about it.

After all, at this time, they really wanted to sell this tidal flat to the Myth Group.

You know, the Shinhwa Group is planning to build its own industrial zone.

Once this industrial zone is successfully built, it will provide at least tens of thousands of jobs to the local area.

The land was sold for money and at least 10,000 jobs were created, which was a huge political achievement for the city leaders.

Therefore, after learning of Su Mingzhe's request, the city leaders applied for approval overnight.

A week later, an inspection team came from the province. After reviewing the industrial zone plan of Shenhua Group, they finally approved and agreed to allow the city to sell the 13,000 acres of tidal flats to Shenhua Group to build an industrial zone.

Once the funds were allocated, the Shinhwa Group immediately began fencing off the tidal flats and building seawalls.

Although it is already September and the end of the year is approaching, the tidal flat is still filled with constant roaring sounds, turning into a huge construction site.
