Le Jianjun’s intentions were rather clear—they wanted to quickly initiate some projects and then use these accomplishments to climb the ranks, with their families already having paved the way for them. They were merely waiting for the results. Now, the tepid approach taken by Xun Liqiang had caused some dissatisfaction. Seeing Ji Yang working hard, they seemed quite pleased.
After seeing off Le Jianjun, Ji Yang sat down and thought deeply for a while.
Anyway, he didn’t need to worry about too many things for now, he just needed to proceed according to his own plans. If they wanted to climb up, let them.
Ji Yang was very clear about his own situation: he didn’t have their kind of background, so he needed to be cautious with every step and avoid giving others a chance to pick out faults.
Two days passed, and surprisingly not a single woman had come to look for Ji Yang.
From what he understood, they were seriously working on their proposals.
After all, as the head of Huancheng Township, Ji Yang had plenty to manage. The immediate issue facing Huancheng Township was those nearly abandoned projects, many of which were clearly nothing more than shells, yet the previous leaders had been greedily making money from them.
One day, when Ji Yang visited a so-called new energy company, he found that there was nothing substantial about it—it was just a scheme to swindle support funds from higher levels.
Looking at the empty facility, Ji Yang could only shake his head in disappointment.
The cadre accompanying him, responsible for the enterprise, saw Ji Yang’s expression and said awkwardly, "A work group from higher levels has already reviewed this project. It’s completely hollow."
"What’s the deal with this land?" Ji Yang inquired, noting the considerable size of the land and the somewhat impressive factories built on the surface.
"This land was allocated to them after receiving preferential policies. Now it’s reverted to township ownership and has just been left idle here."
Ji Yang looked around carefully again, his thoughts drifting to Wu Mi’s live-streaming sales operations.
This township actually had many resources. If they could kickstart live-streaming sales, many products could be sold.
Could Wu Mi and her team take over this place as a warehouse for their operations?
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He took out his phone and dialed Wu Mi’s number.
Upon answering the call, Wu Mi chuckled, "Bro, what made you think of calling me?"
"Have you all finished your busy schedules?"
"Huifang is quite capable. After discussing it, we feel that if we cooperate in development, we can completely revitalize this place."
"By the way, how is the live-streaming going?"
"We have several noteworthy hosts signed up already. Why do you ask?"
Ji Yang explained, "There’s a situation..."
After hearing about Ji Yang’s idea, Wu Mi asked, "Can we develop that place?"
"If things develop well, especially if you all make progress, the surrounding land will definitely appreciate in value. This place is near your area, so that’s why I had this idea."
"You mean to take over the land?"
"Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. You would need to come take a look."
"No need to look, if you say so, we’ll take over that place as well."
Wu Mi had always placed immense trust in Ji Yang, so when Ji Yang mentioned this project, Wu Mi readily agreed.
After the call, Ji Yang continued his survey of the area.
To his surprise, the site wasn’t entirely devoid of potential; they had recruited quite a few experts in the field.
Soon enough, Ji Yang met with these professional talents.
As he observed the young people sitting before him, especially the beautiful young woman at the center, Ji Yang had a feeling that their presence might be because of her.
She was a very attractive girl, exuding a vibrant and youthful energy.
"Yeah, we really wanted to develop this new energy battery, but unfortunately, we were scammed!" Xiao Li seemed somewhat disheartened.
The other young men also expressed how they had been duped.
"What stage has your technology reached?" Ji Yang, not very knowledgeable in this area, had to ask.
Xiao Li replied, "Let’s just say we’re almost there. If we can break through, we’ll definitely surpass the most advanced batteries internationally."
Although Ji Yang wasn’t entirely convinced, he could see some potential and thought of investing in their name of his mother.
"How much more funding do you need?"
"At least twenty million," Xiao Li hesitated before answering.
"If someone invested twenty million, could your project continue?"
Eyes sparkling with hope, everyone seemed excited. Xiao Li eagerly responded, "We would definitely succeed. With a twenty-million investment, we’re willing to part with forty percent of our shares."
Anyone else might have refused, considering that everything here seemed hopeless and the land now belonged to the township. They were just a few people after all.
But Ji Yang wasn’t particularly concerned; after all, his money had come easily, and spending it was no issue.
