47 Transfer Agreemen (2/2)
It wasn't that Jiang Weiguo didn't want the building. He yearned for it dearly.
Jiang Weiguo could still recall when his father, Jiang Chengde, bought a ticket with the last of their money for him to go to Beiping to get the building back.
Jiang Weiguo wanted the building very much, but he had to get it back with his own money, not as a gift from a relative.
”Then… How about this?” Li Junming made a suggestion. ”I originally planned to let Xiao Feng sign the document and follow me to Beiping to get everything sorted out. Why don't we change the details of the agreement then? I'll go and evaluate the building's worth and sell it to you. You can pay me back later.”
Yet, it was just a trick from Professor Li. He was never planning to get the money back.
Wang Xiulian was a little hesitant about the proposal.
She could tell that Jiang Weiguo wanted the building.
But the building would've cost billions.
After borrowing 800,000 dollars from Jiang Jiandang, Wang Xiulian was trying to save up as much as she could. If they agreed on those terms, their family would be billions of dollars in debt.
There was no way a normal citizen like Wang Xiulian could handle that huge amount.
But Jiang Weiguo was deeply moved.
One of Jiang Weiguo's biggest dreams, when he was younger, was to beat all six of his brothers and become the head chef of Taifeng Restaurant. But his goal changed when the war was over, and his family was sacrificed in it. He hoped that he could make enough money and repurchase the restaurant back.
But, half a century had passed, and he never returned to Beiping even once.
Now that the transfer agreement was right in front of him and was intended for his grandson, Jiang Weiguo found no reason to refuse.
”Okay,” Jiang Weiguo finally agreed.
At the same time, the system voice popped up in Jiang Feng's head.
”Ding! Main Quest found: [Reopen] Reopen the Taifeng Restaurant in Beiping.”
”Jiang Feng, how about you?” Li Junming asked.
”I'm fine with it,” Jiang Feng couldn't refuse.
But still… That's a billion-dollar debt right there…
Even the thought of it was enough to make Jiang Feng shake.
But the reason Jiang Feng accepted the proposal wasn't because of the quest, but because it was his grandfather's wish.
Ever since Jiang Feng was a child, he has been listening to stories about the Taifeng Restaurant from his grandfather. That was why he knew very well what Jiang Weiguo's dream was. If he could reopen the Taifeng Restaurant and make its name spread across the country, Jiang Weiguo would've been so pleased that he might just take over the position of head chef again.
”Alright, that's settled then. Xiao Feng, you will have to follow me to Beiping tomorrow,” Li Junming said. ”But… No one has cleaned the building for seven or eight years, so it will be somehow hard to reopen it.”
Li Junming gave the family a heads up about the condition of the restaurant.
Jiang Feng realized that when he saw the building in Beiping, it would look like a relic that wasn't well protected.
Even the renovation fees would be huge.
