"Brother Ye, to be honest, I've thought about getting into luxury real estate before, but I felt like the idea wasn't quite mature. Now that you mention it, I'm interested again!"

Zhao Jiwei nodded in response.

Ye Chen wasn't surprised to hear that Zhao Jiwei had considered it before.

After all, if he remembered correctly, in his previous life, Zhao Jiwei had carved out a bloody path in the high-end real estate sector.

It was precisely for this reason that Ye Chen brought up the topic.

Venturing into luxury real estate and pulling Zhao Jiwei in was undoubtedly a winning move.

"Xiao Ye, what's your plan?" Zhao Qian asked, his interest piqued.

"No rush, let's start by setting up the company! I've already scouted locations for high-end real estate projects. Once those plots go up for auction, we'll secure them and get things rolling," Ye Chen said.

"You've already scouted the locations?" Zhao Qian asked in surprise.

"I like to plan ahead," Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Those words alone were enough to put Zhao Qian at ease.

"Brother Ye, have you estimated the investment required?" Zhao Jiwei followed up.

"About 7 to 8 billion should do. The main issue is the land. I'll take 51%. If you're interested, you can handle the rest. If it's too much, we can check with Jingshan and Changfeng to see if they're interested," Ye Chen explained.

"Alright, I'll discuss it with them later," Zhao Jiwei nodded.

"Sure, no rush."

With that, Ye Chen turned to Zhang Xingguo with a half-joking smile. "Uncle Zhang, when the time comes, we'll need your construction company to handle the real estate project!"

"Haha, don't worry about that! I'm just afraid you'll overlook Yong'an Construction. If you do hand me the project, I promise there will be no compromise on quality!" Zhang Xingguo laughed heartily.

He had been wondering how to bring up the topic of construction, hoping to secure the contract for the upcoming production park for Yiren Ruxue.

To his surprise, Ye Chen brought it up himself. Zhang Xingguo seized the opportunity. "By the way, Xiao Ye, I heard you're planning to build a production park for Yiren Ruxue. Have you thought about having me handle it?"

"Uncle Zhang, I was planning to discuss it once the land is secured. But since you brought it up, let's talk now. You're the one I want for the job!" Ye Chen said without hesitation.

"Oh?" Zhang Xingguo chuckled.

"I'm not planning to outsource the production of Flawless Cream. Once sales skyrocket, production capacity won't be able to keep up. I need the production park operational as soon as possible," Ye Chen said straightforwardly.

"How soon do you need it?" Zhang Xingguo asked.

"Six months," Ye Chen replied.

Zhang Xingguo widened his eyes. "Six months?!"

A production park over 200 acres, from construction to operation, in six months? That was almost unrealistic.

"Yes, six months, or eight at the latest. Money isn't an issue. Can you handle it, Uncle Zhang?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xingguo replied, "I'll need to see the design plans. The timeline depends on the design. But if the design isn't too complicated, I think it's doable. I can mobilize all of Yong'an Construction's manpower. If needed, I'll bring in additional contractors."

"Great, Uncle Zhang. I know the timeline is tight, but I'll make sure the budget compensates for it," Ye Chen said with a grin.

"Xiao Ye, what are you saying? Do you think I'd overcharge you? I won't ask for extra money. In fact, I'll give you the best price while ensuring top quality. This isn't about money. I'm just happy to take on the project!" Zhang Xingguo said earnestly.

"Fair enough. I won't let you take a loss, though. Let's sort the rest out once the land is secured. I'll get the designs to you then."

"Alright. As soon as you're ready, Yong'an Construction will get started immediately," Zhang Xingguo assured him.

With that, the conversation wrapped up.

As Ye Chen left the White Swan Hotel, he spotted Zhao Qian's gleaming Rolls-Royce and couldn't help but feel speechless.

The license plate was from Shanxi!

Had Zhao Qian really brought the car all the way from there?

Seeing Ye Chen's gaze fixed on the license plate, Zhao Jiwei immediately chuckled awkwardly. "Brother Ye, I told you, my dad doesn't have any major vices—just loves to show off. That's why he had the Rolls-Royce driven all the way here!"

"Xiao Ye, I've ordered another Rolls-Royce Phantom. Once it arrives, I'll leave it in Jiangzhou, so we won't have to move it around anymore," Zhao Qian added matter-of-factly.

Zhao Jiwei sighed.

"That's smart. Better than moving it back and forth. Too much hassle," Ye Chen said with a smile.

That was typical Zhao Qian.

Buying another Rolls-Royce wasn't surprising. If Zhao Qian decided to get a private jet, Ye Chen wouldn't be shocked either.

After a few more polite exchanges, Ye Chen got into his Mercedes G-Wagon and drove off—not to Yiren Ruxue, but back to his home at Shanshuijian.

He went straight to his study to start working on the production park's design plans.

It wasn't really designing but copying—bringing over the design from his previous life.

Even so, crafting plans for over 200 acres wasn't something that could be done in a short time.

By the time school was out, he had only just started the blueprint.

He paused to pick up his child, buy groceries, and make dinner.

Though his day was packed, Ye Chen felt deeply fulfilled.

That night, as his family enjoyed their peaceful time at home, across town, the lights were still bright in the office of Huaxing Trading.

Li Changfeng, browsing financial news at his desk, suddenly froze.

He stared at the English headline flashing on his screen.

His hands trembled as he set down his cup, excitement washing over him.

He grabbed his phone and quickly dialed Zhang Jingshan.

"Hello, Changfeng, did Tesla announce something?" Zhang Jingshan answered anxiously.
