Chapter 1727 - 1727
The news came as a surprise to Liu Zhizhong and Wen Bao.
Wen Bao immediately inquired with the Peng Family member responsible for this business transaction, asking why?
The Peng Family member was Peng Nan, the follower of warlord Peng Zhensheng, who was always responsible for the entire Peng Family Army's logistics, as well as one of the people handling the Peng Family's business.
Coincidentally, Peng Family's land dealings were also Peng Nan's responsibility.
Originally, Peng Nan was quite interested in this business. After all, the Peng Family's land, if left idle, was still idle, so being able to sell it for a high price was a good thing.
But his uncle disagreed, and there was nothing he could do.
At that time, he also asked why, but Peng Zhensheng did not clearly state the reason.
Thus, Wen Bao had to give Peng Nan a bit of a service fee to have him investigate the real reason.
The service fee was substantial, with 200,000 US dollars directly transferred to Peng Nan's overseas account.
Peng Nan received the money and indeed thought highly of the party's wealth and generosity, feeling obligated to do something in return.
Thus, Peng Nan shamelessly went to plead with a little aunt.
This little aunt was Peng Zhensheng's favorite concubine.
In the Vallebang Zone, how could a warlord have only one wife? They did not have lovers, only concubines, and naturally more than one.
The reason, of course, is well understood. Being a king in their region, with guns and money, women were simply playthings.
Moreover, in the Vallebang Zone, influenced by thousands of years of tradition, wasn't it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines?
So when Peng Nan sought help from this little aunt, who was a lady from a wealthy family in Kachin City, educated abroad, and deeply favored by Peng Zhensheng.
Whenever there was some significant event in the military, Peng Zhensheng enjoyed hearing this concubine's opinions!
Therefore, there were no secrets for the Peng Family Master in front of the concubine.
Some even said that in the Peng Family's territory, Zhensheng was the leader, and the concubine was the second in command with significant influence.
Coincidentally, when Peng Nan was young, he also studied abroad, only returning afterwards to prepare to inherit some family property, primarily handling business matters.
Having studied abroad, his relationship with little aunt Gao Qiying was quite good since they shared some common language.
Of course, even though Gao Qiying's family was in the construction business in Kachin City and wealthy, they still had to rely on the warlords to conduct their business smoothly. Thus, Gao Qiying becoming Peng Zhensheng's concubine was not a surprise at all.
When Peng Nan pleaded with Gao Qiying, this thirty-five-year-old mature lady was indeed an exceptionally beautiful and elegant person.
Listening to her nephew, Gao Qiying smiled and said: "You mean this matter? I know about it, but Old Peng doesn't want to sell it."
"Little aunt, this is a very profitable deal, so why not? For us, it's just ten square kilometers of land, but the benefits are immense. What exactly is my uncle thinking?"
"Your uncle has his considerations. Because fifty kilometers past this land, it's the Xu Family's territory. The Xu Family has always been interested in the Peng Family's land. It's just that things have remained peaceful over the years. What if this buyer, Chi Zhongshui, has some connection with the Xu Family? Wouldn't that put the Peng Family at a disadvantage?"
"Uh..."
Peng Nan was stunned.
He indeed did not think of this point.
Gao Qiying continued: "As one of the Four Major Warlords, how the Xu Family rose to power, you shouldn't be unaware, right? So, your uncle is cautious about this, which is understandable."
