Chapter 205: Chapter 143: Free for the Taking

But this was good, too. It added a little surprise to tomorrow’s annual meeting.

The group chatted a bit more about the annual meeting, mostly asking if anyone had a talent they could perform, like singing a song or something similar.

Just as the conversation was getting lively, Su Chen’s phone, which he had placed on the table, started to ring.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ~

All eyes fell on the phone. When they saw the caller ID was Xiao Chen, Si Cong had the strongest reaction; his face tensed, and his eyes widened noticeably.

Su Chen picked up his phone, apologized to the others, and walked straight into the study.

"Si Cong, what was that about? Why such a strong reaction?" Although Chen He’s voice was quiet, Deng Chao and the others heard him perfectly clearly.

Si Cong just shook his head, clearly having no intention of explaining. Chen He and the other two could see that something was off with him, as if the topic was taboo.

The three exchanged a look, then sat back quietly and closed their eyes to rest.

Once inside the study, Su Chen immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Brother Cheen. What important instructions do you have for me?" Su Chen asked teasingly.

"You punk, still trying to be funny? Instructions? What instructions could I possibly give you? I’m calling to tell you there’s been a break on that matter you mentioned before!"

"Hm." Su Chen’s tone immediately turned serious. He knew Xiao Chen was talking about the task he had entrusted him with before leaving the Imperial Capital—finding a place to build a factory complex. After all, both chip research and the manufacturing of ultra-high-end CNC machine tools required the construction of large-scale factories.

If they could find a suitable location now, he could save a considerable amount of time and energy.

"Brother Cheen, stop keeping me in suspense. Just tell me where it is!" Su Chen said bluntly.

"After a professional screening, there are two locations that seem suitable for you. The first is Peng City in the south. It’s a hub for high-tech industries, which will be a great help in recruiting the talent you need. The downside is that the available land area isn’t very large."

"You know Peng City—every inch of land is worth a fortune these days. We can only look for places in the outskirts, and even then, the upfront investment would be massive!"

"The second option is the Northeast. You know that as times have changed, many places in the Northeast have fallen into decline. A number of factory complexes have closed down. If you build your factories in the Northeast, you can pick any location you want. If you take a fancy to any of the shuttered factory complexes, they’ll even give them to you for free!"

Su Chen pursed his lips. Peng City was within his expectations, but what he hadn’t anticipated was Xiao Chen’s second recommendation—the Northeast.
