Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Gongsun Hong Wants to Take Control of Longkou
Gongsun Hong was truly startled this time; he possessed some understanding of Formations, and although he was not as skilled as Xuan Yanwu, he could still discern that this was indeed a Formation.
What was the purpose of this Formation here?
Gongsun Hong could not make out the specifics of the Formation.
However, whether he could see it or not, the fact that there was an ancient Formation here was real, and as such, it was necessary to begin exercising control over the area.
After searching inside for a while and finding nothing of particular interest, Gongsun Hong walked out.
He had come to understand why many people fell gravely ill upon nearing this place—how could ordinary people withstand the chilling aura here?
As soon as he emerged, Gongsun Hong decided to call Yan Guozhen.
In his view, as the provincial committee secretary, it would be better for Secretary Yan to issue the orders.
“Secretary Yan, there’s a village in Xiashan County, Ximu City, called Tufang Village, with a special location known as Longkou. Our bureau needs to bring this entire area under our control; I hope you can coordinate this.”
Yan Guozhen, who indeed held the bureau in high regard, received the call and thought for a moment before saying, “I will give Mr. Ji Yang a call.”
He had naturally set aside Zhang Chaoping, with Ji Yang coming to mind instead.
Soon, Yan Guozhen’s call reached Ji Yang. Googlᴇ search Nove1Fire.net
After explaining the situation, Yan Guozhen said, “Just notify the officials in Xiashan County to hand over that area to the bureau for management.”
“Secretary Yan, I’m aware that the area includes Longkou, and Mi Yu Company has just signed a development contract with Zhang Chaoping and others. The contracts are signed, and now you want to take that place immediately—what about the compensations?”
“What, that place is already owned?”
“Yes, the Mi Yu Company has also been quite unfortunate. They were doing well with their development in Shisong County, but then another business took an interest in their land and transferred it over for a large sum of money. From our analysis, Mi Yu Company is operating at a loss; tens of billions annually. Now that I’ve invited them to take a look at Xiashan County, they are indeed interested in investing there. As I’m quite familiar with them, I worry about fairness in our dealings, so I let them negotiate with the county directly. Eventually, it was Secretary Zhang who oversaw the sale to them. Their construction machinery and equipment have already arrived on the site and development is underway, involving significant investment. Halting their operations now doesn’t seem right, does it?
Besides, I have a good relationship with them; it might not be appropriate for me to handle this matter. It’s better to let Secretary Zhang take charge.”
Yan Guozhen was somewhat overwhelmed by Ji Yang’s explanation, not expecting so many employees to be involved. If any issue arose, he would be unable to account for it.
Once Yan Guozhen realized that this was not something orchestrated by Ji Yang, but rather by Zhang Chaoping, he said, “Alright, I’ll discuss this matter with Chaoping.”
After hanging up, Ji Yang lit a cigarette and took a drag. He only needed to get things started; how they would negotiate was up to them.
Ji Yang also realized that the plan was to develop this place into a spiritual practice tourism area.
The situation developed even more quickly than Ji Yang had anticipated. If Shisong County was abundant with Spiritual Energy, then Xiashan County was entirely related to cultivation matters. As a result, numerous major forces immediately rushed to Xiashan County.
