Chapter 290 Arrogant Cao Daguang
Cao Daguang, having listened to his son’s complaints, glared fiercely at the group of merchants and the three people including Chen Feng and coldly said, "It seems you really want to rebel, daring to hit even Cao Daguang’s son. You are going to pay a heavy price for this!"
Right after Cao Daguang finished speaking, a bulldozer came rumbling over from not far away.
Behind the bulldozer followed a group of young men wearing construction helmets, about forty to fifty of them, all holding construction tools like shovels; they appeared to be members of a construction and demolition crew.
Seeing this, Cao Daguang and Cao Shihang’s faces immediately displayed extremely arrogant grins.
Cao Daguang turned his head towards the merchants and said,
"Let me tell you the truth. I’ve actually wanted to tear down this street for a long time because just collecting your rent really doesn’t make much money. I’m planning to turn this place into an entertainment city and make big bucks!"
"It’s a pity you’ve always been so compliant; I couldn’t find an excuse to move against you. I had to temporarily put that idea aside. But today, you’ve come to me yourselves, perfectly providing me with that excuse. Don’t blame me for being rude; today, no one is going to escape!"
The merchants, upon hearing this, all changed color, especially those who had just refrained from laying hands on Cao Shihang; their faces turned extremely ugly.
They still wanted to continue doing business here, but now the entire street was going to be demolished, and they would be implicated; the loss involved was not just a matter of money.
You know, in a global metropolis like Coastal, finding a storefront with high foot traffic, affordable and stable rent is extremely difficult.
Moreover, they had been running their businesses here for five or six years, some even for more than a decade.
