CHAPTER 755: CHAPTER 755

"System Task: Complete ten investments within seven days.

"Task Level: Important.

"Task Progress: 100/100."

"Status: Completed!"

Sitting in the chairman’s office of Mortal Group, Mr. Lin glanced at the task attribute table and revealed a slight smile.

In the past seven days, Lin Fan has been trying to complete this system task. Initially, he invested in Ye Qingmei’s restaurant and four university students’ smart operating system project. He finished two projects, but it took him a full three days.

With four days remaining, he needed to accomplish eight investments, which was quite a challenge.

Fortunately, at this time, the system provided a new task, which was car manufacturing.

Lin Fan quickly found a method to complete the previous task by starting with the supply chain of the car manufacturing project. Through these eight investments, he aimed to control the supply chain!

Lin Fan was well aware of the importance of the supply chain. If there were any issues, it might lead to the entire project’s failure. Therefore, controlling the supply chain became a crucial step.

Lin Fan would never let the supply chain hold him back!

Another benefit of controlling the supply chain is to prevent anyone from causing trouble in this area!

Lin Fan knew that his high-profile announcement about car manufacturing would surely attract the attention of rivals. These competitors might secretly cause trouble.

Lin Fan noticed that recently, online, there were many negative voices about Mortal’s car manufacturing project, which were likely stirred by competitors.

Besides needing to guard against competitors, Lin Fan also had to be wary of another opponent, who might be even more troublesome, the Jiangnan Wei Family.

The Wei Family’s community group buying project was thwarted by Lin Fan. Upon learning that he was entering car manufacturing, they were very likely to seek revenge!

Regardless of whether it’s competitors or the Wei Family attempting to cause trouble, Lin Fan’s actions have effectively blocked their chances to do so!

Perhaps, Wei Tiansheng is feeling pretty frustrated right now.

Lin Fan guessed right. At this time, Wei Tiansheng was practically about to explode!

"Unbelievable!"

Wei Tiansheng slammed the table, "Lin Fan, you actually had this move! I’ve underestimated you again!"

He seemed to finally understand why Lin Fan suddenly wanted to establish Ruofan Capital. It turned out Lin Fan had long been prepared, just to control the supply chain. Lin Fan never fights an unprepared battle!

"Father, this Lin Fan is indeed sly. It seems we have no chance to tamper with his supply chain." Wei Jiansheng said, regretfully clenching his fist.

Lin Fan had already controlled the supply chain, indicating that he highly valued the safety of the supply chain. Under his control, it was practically impossible for the Wei Family to tamper with it.

Wei Tiansheng sneered, "If we can’t tackle him through the supply chain, we’ll approach it from another angle. Think about it: Lin Fan wants to build cars, unless he outsources to another car company, he’ll definitely need to build a factory. Given Lin Fan’s style, the chance of him outsourcing is low. So I think next, he will certainly construct a factory, and to build one, he must first acquire land."

Wei Jiansheng instantly understood and smiled, "Our Wangu Group is the biggest real estate company in Jiangnan. As long as Lin Fan tries to acquire land within Jiangnan, we can influence it so that he won’t succeed in getting it!"

Wei Tiansheng said, "No, Yun City Government is strongly supporting Lin Fan’s car manufacturing. They’ll definitely give him a green light, so obtaining land is inevitable. We just need to ensure he doesn’t get quality land, making him take up a piece of bad land instead, thereby increasing his manufacturing cost."

With Wangu Group’s influence around Jiangnan, this was not hard to achieve.

As long as Lin Fan acquires land for the factory within Jiangnan, irrespective of which plot it is, if Wangu Group doesn’t relent, he won’t get it.

"In my opinion, Lin Fan is very likely to acquire land in Yun City to build the factory. He would think Yun City is his turf. If he truly intends to set up in Yun City, where do you think he’d choose?" Wei Tiansheng asked.

Wei Jiansheng thought for a moment and replied, "The car manufacturing plant must cover a large area. I’ve considered it, and Lin Fan might likely choose the sparsely populated Nanshan District. Coincidentally, Yun City recently relaunched the Nanshan District development plan, making this place quite valuable for future investments. The geographic location is also excellent for car manufacturing."

Wei Tiansheng nodded and pondered, "I’ll make a phone call to the district head of Nanshan District..."

While Wei Tiansheng was trying to trip up Lin Fan regarding land acquisition.

The system’s voice rang in Lin Fan’s ears.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task of ten investments in seven days. You have a new reward, please check it."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host, for completing the task reward: a land plot in Nanshan District, with a total area of 1 million square meters!"

Upon hearing this reward, Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat!

What followed was sheer delight.

A 1 million square meter plot in Nanshan District, perfect for building a supercar factory!

Three months ago, while being the son-in-law of the Yun City Wei Family, in order to sell a property project in Nanshan District, Lin Fan influenced Yun City Government’s decision, restarting the Nanshan District development plan.

The land prices in Nanshan District surged overnight, attracting many buyers for land and property. At the time, Lin Fan, due to a system task, snatched a prime plot of land in Nanshan District.

However, that prime plot spanned only 100,000 square meters, and Lin Fan hadn’t decided what to do with it, so it remained idle.

Now, the system rewarded a million square meter plot in Nanshan District, located right beside the prime land Lin Fan had previously acquired!

This means Lin Fan now had a 1.1 million square meter superplot of land.

Such an expansive plot is more than sufficient for constructing a supercar factory.

Wangu Group.

After making a call to the district chief of Nanshan District, Wei Tiansheng put down the phone with satisfaction.

"Father, how’s it?" Wei Jiansheng inquired on the side.

Wei Tiansheng chuckled, "I said it, with Wangu Group’s influence in Jiangnan, Lin Fan can forget obtaining quality land. I’ve made arrangements. I promised that Wangu Group will invest in Nanshan District in the future. As a condition, Lin Fan has to get our approval for any land acquisition in Nanshan."

Wei Jiansheng laughed heartily, "Father, that’s brilliant!"

Wangu Group is indeed powerful. Just promising to invest in Nanshan caused the district government to take them seriously!

This influence is unmatched.

However...

Just as the father and son were reveling in their satisfaction.

Suddenly, a message spread: Mortal Group’s latest announcement revealed that they had completed land acquisition in Nanshan District’s prime area, acquiring over 1 million square meters of land, and will immediately begin constructing a supercar factory!

"What?"

Wei Tiansheng suddenly jumped to his feet.

"Father, how is this possible? Didn’t we say that any land Lin Fan acquired in Nanshan had to first receive our consent? How could he get prime land of over 1 million square meters?" Wei Jiansheng exclaimed in shock.

Wei Tiansheng was equally stunned, "Impossible, impossible!"

He immediately called the district chief of Nanshan District to inquire about the situation.

The district chief replied, "I’m sorry, Mr. Wei, I wasn’t clear earlier. Mr. Lin had already acquired this plot three months ago..."

"What?"

Wei Tiansheng was dumbfounded on the spot.
