Chapter 759: Chapter 759: The More You Try to Control, The More Problems Arise
Zhang Chaoping contacted Wu Mi immediately after receiving the call from Yan Guozhen.
In fact, once Wu Mi knew they could no longer hold onto the place, she understood what needed to be done. Their company had made a big show of it, but had not actually invested much money.
After receiving Zhang Chaoping’s call, Wu Mi said, “Our contract with the government includes compensation clauses. Secretary Zhang should review it. If we can receive that compensation, we are willing to withdraw.”
It was only then that Zhang Chaoping remembered that situation, and indeed there was a significant amount of compensation involved.
Since this matter had been brought up by division ten, Zhang Chaoping decided to discuss it with Gongsun Hong.
Gongsun Hong was also contemplating the situation. If it was a public versus public transaction, the compensation might not be substantial. However, if a private company acquired it through transfer, the compensation would be quite hefty.
Although Gongsun Hong was the director of division ten, he also had family responsibilities. Previously, his family had not benefited from the profits of Shisong County, which had caused some complaints within the family. Now, discovering such a place, Gongsun Hong believed it was likely more valuable than Shisong County.
It would be best for the Gongsun Family to acquire it!
Once Gongsun Hong made this decision, he notified the members of the Gongsun Family who were working in the mortal world to negotiate with Mi Yu Company.
Wu Mi, already aware of the situation, naturally wouldn’t ask for too high a price. After making several billion, she withdrew.
The Gongsun Family quickly took over the land previously owned by Wu Mi’s company.
Under Gongsun Hong’s management, the area was taken under control. Follow current novels on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
This action upset many powers. The more the Gongsun Family tightened control, the more secretive things became, appearing as if they wanted to enjoy the benefits exclusively.
Consequently, many families sent representatives.
Among them were cultivators who, upon entering the area and seeing an ancient Formation, became excited.
Since there was an ancient Formation and the area had been sealed off, there was only one possibility—something was trapped inside.
A significant site of an ancient sect? Or some kind of treasure?
Whatever the case, the site held substantial research value. Perhaps breaking the Formation would reveal a Cultivation Technique for practicing in the mortal world, and whichever power discovered such a Technique would become the dominant force.
Various struggles then began in this location.
Even some international powers sent people into the area.
Xiashan County, unknowingly, became a treasure site. The previously stagnant real estate market there began to surge rapidly.
Ji Yang was quietly observing all these developments. In his view, this development was beneficial. His efforts were aimed at attracting various forces to this site, and it seemed his strategy was taking effect.
With the arrival of various forces, the local residents were bound to benefit.
This impoverished county finally had a hope for development!
Ji Yang did not involve himself in the affairs of Xiashan County; rather, he left it to Zhang Chaoping and others. He was currently considering the matter of relocating the town in Shisong County. Plans were underway, and the next step was to guide everyone there again.
Indeed, the internet was also buzzing, with the closure of Longkou stirring heated discussions online. Everyone believed there must be a significant issue there.
