Chapter 124 He's Not Worth the Money
The Luo family has a unique vision. Luo Changsheng took a fancy to a piece of land on the outskirts of Jiazhou, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. He wanted to build a large mountain villa that would integrate a restaurant, inn, horse farm, polo field, elegant gathering place, casino, etc.
It took three years to build and cost one-third of the Luo family's wealth.
But this place was also favored by the Yang family, who also wanted it and proposed to buy it several times, but was too stingy to pay.
Besides, even if the price was offered, why would the Luo family give up the business they were optimistic about?
The Yang family has never followed the rules, so it is reasonable for them to deal with the Luo family's daughter who has been missing for a long time.
After delivering the invitation, since Luo Changsheng was visiting in person, the Yang family was quite polite and the head of the Yang family of this generation, Yang Xiansheng, came out in person to greet him.
He laughed and said, "Brother Changsheng, what wind brings you here?"
Luo Changsheng looked at him and said straight to the point, "Your fourth son went to Ningshan County? Shouldn't he be back now?"
Although Yang Xiansheng and Luo Changsheng are of the same generation, Yang Xiansheng is already over fifty years old and has seven sons, both legitimate and illegitimate.
Yang Xiansheng smiled and said, "Really? That brat never told me where he was going. Children, we can't always keep them under control. Why, are you interested in my fourth child? How about I send someone to call him over?"
"Brother Yang, it's no fun to hide it like this."
"Brother Changsheng, what do you mean by this? As a brother, I don't understand. Could it be that the brat of my fourth child has upset you outside? In this way, I will call him to apologize to you?"
As he said this, he actually called a servant over: "Go, call the Fourth Young Master!"
Yang Zuoxian walked into the hall in a casual manner, waving a folding fan.
"Dad, you called me?" Seeing Luo Changsheng, he just raised his eyelids and hugged the fan perfunctorily: "It's Uncle Luo!"
"What did you do outside? Look, your uncle Changsheng is here to question you."
"Dad, you are wronged. What can I do outside? I can only go to Wanxianglou to drink some wine and go to Wanshengbofang to play dice!"
Luo Changsheng slowly said, "Alright, stop acting in front of me. Let's be frank, Master Yang, what do you want? In order to let my sister go back?"
He was so straightforward that Yang Xiansheng, who had been laughing all the time and not giving any direct answers, paused. He picked up the tea lid and skimmed the tea bowl, took a sip slowly, and then said, "Brother Changsheng, look at you, you said this out of the blue, I really don't know what you mean?"
"Master Yang, what did your fourth son do when he was away on a trip? Are you telling me you don't know?" Luo Changsheng snorted and laughed: "I came to you today just because I thought peace would bring wealth. There's no need to make things too ugly. If we all take a step back, there's nothing that can't be solved. But if you don't want to, I can also report it to the police!"
The corner of Yang Zuoxian's mouth curled up, revealing a mocking arc.
Luo Changsheng's sonorous and powerful words continued to echo in the hall: "You just think that my sister is in your hands, so you have taken the initiative, and you want to see me panic, overwhelmed, and helpless! But Master Yang, you and I are both businessmen. What do businessmen value most? Seeking profit and avoiding harm. Don't think that you have a person whose true identity has not been confirmed in your hands, and you really hold the vital point of my Luo family. I'm not going to say it harshly. For this sister, except for my parents and my brothers, we have no impression. You should negotiate with me. If it's suitable, I can give in. It's just to make my parents laugh. If it's too much, what can I do if I don't give in?"
Yang Zuoxian, who was proud and sarcastic just now, was stunned for a moment. Yang Xiansheng smiled and said, "Brother Changsheng, don't get excited. Since it's business, let's talk it over! Your sister is missing, which is a serious matter. I also express my deep sympathy and am willing to do my best. In any case, there are many children in my Yang family. If they go out to look for her, they will definitely find her."
He did not admit that his people had deceived Zhao Susu away, and Luo Changsheng was not surprised.
This old fox would not allow himself to be criticized. Even if he did it, he would not admit it for sure.
"Then let's talk about cooperation. What does your Yang family want?"
Yang Xiansheng said with a smile: "Of course I want to get closer to Brother Changsheng. Brother Luo's Yuqing Villa, Chaohua Tower, Yuting Pavilion, and Jingmu Commercial Bank are all places to make a lot of money. Take me with you, too!"
As expected, he was greedy. As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the Luo family's iconic industries. Chaohua Tower had branches all over the country, as did Yuting Pavilion, and Jingmu Commercial Bank was even in the capital.
It turned out that he wanted more than just Yuqing Villa.
Luo Changsheng snorted and laughed: "Master Yang, if one day someone kidnapped your fourth son and asked you to exchange him for the Golden Jade Tower, the Youshui Yayuan, and the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, would you do it?"
Yang Xiansheng smiled. Even though Yang Zuoxian was right in front of him, he said bluntly, "The fourth son of my family is a dandy boy who knows nothing and is not worth the price! However, your sister is different. It is reasonable to say that she is the medicine of your parents. She is much more valuable than this stinky boy of our family!"
"Then let's not talk about it!" Luo Changsheng said as he stood up and walked out without looking back.
Yang Xiansheng said leisurely behind him: "I wonder if Mr. Luo and the old lady knew that they could have reunited with their daughter after searching for so many years, but could not because of the unwillingness of the Changsheng brothers to give up their own interests, would they blame you for putting profit before human feelings?"
Luo Changsheng sneered: "No one's money comes from the wind. His parents have been used to it for so many years and will understand my choice!"
After saying that, he actually strode away.
Yang Xiansheng narrowed his eyes. The Luo brothers value filial piety very much. It seems that the rumors are false!
Yang Zuoxian said, "Dad, if you only want Yuqing Villa, I think he will agree!"
Yang Xiansheng glanced at him and said in a bland tone: "What do you know? Luo Changsheng is smart and shrewd. His eldest son, at only seventeen, has already become a Jinshi. Luo Laoer is insidious, and his youngest son is even more amazing. He is a nine-year-old scholar and won the first place in the imperial examination."
"Dad, you worry too much. Many people in our Yang family have entered official careers."
"I'm not afraid of those who are on the official career path, but the second son of Luo Lao Da was already doing business with him at the age of fifteen; the eldest son of Luo Lao Er was already a businessman at the age of sixteen. Which young generation in my Yang family can compete with them? If we let them develop, the Yang family will be surpassed by them sooner or later. If we don't bite off a piece of their flesh now and let them suffer a great loss of vitality, once we are old, how can you brothers fight against them?"
Yang Zuoxian was very unconvinced, and there was a gloom flashing deep in his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said nonchalantly: "Dad, you said I'm useless, I admit it! But my eldest brother is not bad, if he hears it, he will be sad."
