Chapter 997 - Chapter 997 Chapter 997 Deliberation

Chapter 997: Chapter 997 Deliberation Chapter 997: Chapter 997 Deliberation For the Yu Family, the purpose of Yang Yuxin’s land purchase had always been a mystery; although some speculated it was to please Feng Jun, it remained uncertain–some even thought the possibility was next to nothing.

Not knowing the real purpose naturally impacted related judgments.

So, although Yang Yuxin’s words sounded unkind, they were actually… meant in good faith.

At least she indirectly hinted–she thought Feng Jun was so formidable that he was worth spending billions to please.

Yu Zhiyuan was a grateful person; he smiled and nodded, “Thank you, Director Yang for the reminder, by the way, I have something to ask… The last time I called Master Feng, he mentioned something about ALS, also said something about needing a billion US Dollar to go to the capital?”

“That apparently… is an Ni Hong patient,” Yang Yuxin casually replied, “A competent minor leader referred him; Master Feng didn’t want to treat, so he set a threshold fee of ten billion US Dollars.”

Ten billion US Dollars… Yu Zhiyuan was secretly taken aback, I knew Feng Jun was in need of a big sum of money, but not to this extent, right?

After thinking, he asked again, “Director Yang, I want to confirm again, can he really cure cerebral infarction? My dad is ninety-nine years old.”

Yang Yuxin sighed deeply, then looked at him lightly, “Honestly, his capabilities… are beyond your comprehension.”

Is this a southern pyramid scheme or a northern one? Yu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but think.

The next moment, he nodded, “Alright, I won’t ask these stupid questions anymore, when he makes a move… does he allow others to question?”

Yang Yuxin shook her head, “He won’t allow it, the healthcare doctors and security guards arranged by Elder Yu, no one is allowed to watch, nor is any dissent permitted, otherwise he really would walk away… So I think, you better find someone else.”

She wasn’t driving him away, but Feng Jun’s treatment conditions were indeed too domineering, and Elder Yu, being the highest-ranking leader in Huaxia, had strict security requirements, which wouldn’t be swayed by Elder Yu’s preference.

“I did hear something from Elder Yuan, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to negotiate,” Yu Zhiyuan nodded, “My grandfather’s security requirements are much higher than Yuan Zihao’s… Would he make the same demands?”

“He won’t consider these,” Yang Yuxin shook her head, “He just has one attitude… If there are demands, he won’t make a move.”

“Such a character,” Yu Zhiyuan said with a mix of laughter and helplessness, “truly scorns princes and nobles… Hasn’t anyone ever forced him into action?”

“No,” Yang Yuxin shook her head, then gave him a look, “Why don’t… you give it a try?”

“I dare not,” Yu Zhiyuan decisively shook his head, forcing a doctor into action would doom his grandfather, “By the way, Director Yang, anything else I should be aware of?”

Yang Yuxin thought for a while before speaking, “Nothing else, just one thing… Whatever he says, just accept it.”

Yu Zhiyuan was a bit dumbfounded, whatever he says, I just have to accept… and you call that nothing else?

Regardless, after his interactions with Xu Leigang and Yang Yuxin, he had a clear impression of Feng Jun.

Then he called back, reported today’s gains to his brothers and sisters, and gave his suggestions.

Regarding Qi Wukui possibly being harmed by Luohua, he didn’t mention it, knowing well that once it was spoken, it would add too many variables–his grandfather’s health couldn’t afford delays.

His relationship with Qi Wukui was always lukewarm, and the key thing was: without that guy causing trouble, things wouldn’t be this complicated.

Yu Zhicai and other brothers of Yu Zhiyuan quickly began to leverage their family’s influence.

The next day, the mayor of Zhengyang City and key decision-makers, from various channels, received news: the higher-ups intended to enhance support for Zhengyang’s cultural industry, but the current problem was: Zhengyang didn’t even have a Cultural Town.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood: the land in Baixing Town needed to be processed faster.

Regarding who should be given this land, was there even a need to ask? It surely had to be Ji Yuan Company.

Qi Wukui was seriously ill and had been in a coma for several days; this sudden push from above certainly wasn’t initiated by Shengshi.

That very afternoon, the Zhengyang municipal government urgently arranged a meeting with Ji Yuan’s representatives in Zhengyang, indicating that the project could be allocated to Ji Yuan, but the future Cultural Town, the city would participate in the land use rights– not controlling, just forty percent.

Ji Yuan Company flatly refused, stating they weren’t short of money for purchasing land, there’s no need for shares.

The Gu Family, being well-connected at the upper levels, knew about this soon after the Yu Family dropped hints–of course, that was also because the Yu Family made no attempt to conceal it, intentionally letting them know, otherwise even if there was news, it couldn’t have spread so quickly.

Yang Yuxin felt that Yu Zhiyuan somewhat underestimated her: needing these support schemes for such amount of money, I already said money wasn’t an issue.

So she instructed Ji Yuan Company not to take that advantage.

As for the local government wanting to buy shares, in theory, one should not refuse since sharing benefits is the king’s way nowadays, even if you are a powerful dragon, you should leave some soup for others.

But Yang Yuxin is very clear, she is not in this project for the money, even if making a little less doesn’t matter, with such a profit prospect, how could the local government be willing?

Moreover, although the Gu Family has great influence, there will come a day when Eldest Gu grows old. When he is around, the locals may not dare to have any ideas, but after he leaves the center of power, how many people will still fear him?

If this was just a real estate development project, it would be easier to handle. Once the development cycle ends and the profits are harvested, Ji Yuan can exit, just by leaving before Eldest Gu steps down.

But the problem is: this is a long-term project, protecting Luohua for at least forty years!

As for the local government only holding forty percent of the shares and Ji Yuan being the controlling shareholder… don’t take this seriously, without the protection of the Gu Family, the local government could definitely torment Ji Yuan to the point of desperation, crying out to flee.

Thus, Ji Yuan firmly refuses to agree to the government’s participation in shares, showing one attitude: We have money and are willing to buy the land use rights.

Out of necessity, Yuan Zihao had to call Yang Yuxin, “Director Yang, aren’t you being a bit too cautious?”

“I don’t quite trust the contract spirit of Zhengyang people, Master Feng’s contract wants to be torn by someone,” Yang Yuxin revealed frankly, “This Cultural Town project is planned for fifty years, I don’t want people to meddle.”

Yuan Zihao felt helpless, “This is like delivering money to you, you worry about the local government reneging, how about the Yu Family guarantees it? Guaranteeing you fifty years without any issues.”

This statement was really too arrogant, but in Zhengyang, the Yu Family really dared to say so. Even if Elder Yu is gone, the influence of the Yu Family spreads across various fields, especially now, with two officials at the ministerial level in the Yu Family.

Especially Yu Zhicai, who is now the top leader of the provincial government, and still has considerable upward mobility.

But Yang Yuxin didn’t believe this–at least she didn’t fully believe it, “Don’t talk about fifty years, what can I do when you say ‘I’m powerless’ by then? You’d better not interfere in this matter anymore, I’d appreciate that.”

“I won’t interfere, then how can I save my old man?” Yuan Zihao stopped being polite, “Cultural Town will have supporting incentives later… if you really don’t trust me, I can involve my third brother to pair up with Zhengyang for help.”

To put it simply, the national funds, wherever they are allocated, are still allocated, some cities have received more than ten billion in cultural industry support funds, but haven’t incubated anything substantial, it’s just casting the net wide.

Yu Family plays a role in channeling some of this money towards Zhengyang, it’s nothing, nor does it require using their own funds.

Of course, this “nothing” is only relative to the Yu Family, without them, Zhengyang’s leaders would never be able to fight for it.

As for Yu Zhicai’s paired assistance, the execution is all with Yu Zhicai, as long as he is willing to act, it wouldn’t be difficult.

Yang Yuxin still cannot agree to this plan, but with the Yu Family not letting go of this matter, she also has no way to proceed.

After thinking for a while, she proposed a suggestion, “I definitely don’t accept the government holding shares. If you insist on this, the Yu Family can take a forty percent stake… The matters between you and the government, you negotiate.”

After pausing for a while, she added, “But it can’t be Shengshi.”

Yuan Zihao was amused by her last comment, “How could it still be Shengshi? My Yu Family isn’t that inexperienced in business to not even find a few companies, so… shall our two families cooperate?”

He agreed too readily, Yang Yuxin hesitated for a moment but still nodded, “Fine, only for this project.”

The Gu and Yu families, both pillars in Huaxia politics, if these two families cooperate fully, it’s hard to say what kind of storm it would stir, Yang Yuxin knew this, so she limited it to just this collaboration project–anything more, and she couldn’t decide.

Yuan Zihao also had this intention; he was willing to take over this project mainly for his father’s treatment and to resolve some potential resentments from the Gu Family.

As for the money to buy the land, it really didn’t matter to him, with the cultural support funds coming later, he could recover quite a bit of investment–the profits Yang Yuxin might receive would potentially be even greater, but that didn’t matter either.

So he smiled, “Director Yang, in doing this, I’m also showing sincerity, right?”

Yang Yuxin thought about it, nodded her head, anyhow, getting the land without spending a penny was pleasing to her, and she also held the majority share.

Their two families cooperating, basically, there’s no need to consider the attitude of the local government–anyone who wants to make a move would have to weigh whether they can afford the wrath of these two powerful families.

As for whether these two families would have conflicts, that was even more of a joke, these days, public disputes are common, but personal interests entanglements between them… given the heritage of both families, is such a small amount of money worth it?

So he smiled, “I think, both of us giving away some shares to Master Feng would be even better… what do you say?”
