Ye Yun was completely talking nonsense!
He even suspected if Ye Yun was ill!
If not ill, why did his words become so muddled?
Jinling already had a CBD, the Hexi Jianye CBD.
Hexi was also a notoriously affluent district in Jinling.
A second CBD, the Xiong'an New Area CBD, was also under construction.
And Jinling was idly building a third.
And within ten years, it would become a top global commercial hub, on par with Wall Street in the Eagle Nation.
He wasn't even trying to brag, was he?
Jinling wasn't even considered the largest city in the country now, ranking behind Jing, Hu, Guang, and Shen.
It could only be called a quasi-first-tier city.
Yet, according to him, in a few years, it would directly rival New York in the Eagle Nation.
He wasn't afraid of taking too big a step and hurting himself!
Wu Xinmin didn't want to discuss this topic further, mainly because he was afraid he would burst out laughing.
"Setting aside whether your analysis is correct or not, for now, even if I were willing to give you that piece of land at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, do you think you could afford it? I admit the fundraising capability of Gan Cao Yao, and you could secure loans with the Gan Cao Yao formula. The question is... would you use the Gan Cao Yao formula to get money?"
Wu Xinmin became confused as he spoke.
The land at the foot of Nanshan Mountain was worth at least ten billion.
He didn't believe that a newly established company like Yao Ke Group could come up with ten billion to buy land.
As for mortgaging Gan Cao Yao?
Don't be ridiculous.
If some trouble arose and the Gan Cao Yao formula was leaked, the consequences would be dire!
"That's why I'm seeking your assistance, Mayor Wu. Give me three months, and I will produce ten billion for you! However, I want to sign the land purchase contract first!" Ye Yun stated decisively.
Wu Xinmin stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Hearing you say that, you're confident you can acquire ten billion in three months? To be blunt, with Yao Ke Group, you'd be lucky to get five billion in three months. Where would you get ten billion?"
"Mayor Wu, if I fail to deliver, I am willing to pay a one-billion penalty, and our land acquisition contract will become void!" Ye Yun, who usually disliked being ostentatious, was full of confidence now.
He then continued with a smile to persuade.
"Mayor Wu, this deal is not a loss for you! The land is still in your hands. If I can't produce the money, consider it a ten-billion penalty you receive for free. And if I do, I'll pay at market price, and Yao Ke Group will be associated with Jinling's brand in the future. Why wouldn't you agree?"
"You make a valid point. Whether you can produce the money or not, we win either way. Alright, I'll have a meeting with people this afternoon to discuss this matter. I can give you an answer by the end of the workday at the latest." Wu Xinmin readily agreed.
Although he couldn't make decisions about land acquisition alone, as Ye Yun said.
This transaction was beneficial and harmless to them, and there was no reason for others in the leadership to disagree.
Coupled with his covert assistance, a response for Ye Yun by the end of the workday would likely result in an outcome before 3 PM.
As for Ye Yun's claim that the land at the foot of Nanshan Mountain would become Jinling's third-largest CBD.
Wu Xinmin could only chuckle.
What a joke!
He, the Mayor of Jinling, hadn't even received such news, how could Ye Yun know?
Considering his level, he was privy to Jinling's detailed plans for the next five years.
Therefore, either the land at the foot of Nanshan Mountain was scheduled for development after five years.
Or Ye Yun was talking nonsense!
But could the other party know Jinling's development trend five years from now?
This was clearly impossible!
Even though Ye Yun had created many miracles in the past.
This time, Wu Xinmin still considered it baseless.
"Then it's settled. Let's move on to the industrial land you requested," Wu Xinmin continued.
"Industrial land isn't that complicated. It's just that our current production capacity isn't enough for future market demand. I want over 50,000 square meters, located in Jinling, in a place with convenient transportation and relatively affordable prices." Ye Yun said.
"These requirements aren't difficult, but as we agreed, this land use is not free. If I truly agreed, I'd likely lose my position." Wu Xinmin said.
"Don't worry, Mayor Wu. The profit from Gan Cao Yao is already substantial. I don't need to take much advantage of the Jinling government. We'll pay the market price, and it won't make things difficult for you!" Ye Yun said with a smile.
However, there was one thing he didn't say.
The biggest benefit, the land at Nanshan, had already been secured by him.
Anything else?
It was just a trifle, not worth souring their relationship over!
"Alright, then it's settled. Yao Ke Group will be a Jinling brand from now on and cannot relocate from Jinling!" Wu Xinmin emphasized again.
"A gentleman's word!"
"A swift horse's whip!"
...
They spoke with gusto, and Ye Yun and Wu Xinmin chatted for a long time, truly enjoying each other's company.
With Ye Yun's foresight, a single remark could enlighten Wu Xinmin.
In the end, it was basically Ye Yun talking, and Wu Xinmin listening.
When he heard exciting or interesting parts, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and exclaim loudly.
It was only when some diners around saw Wu Xinmin and called out friendly greetings like "Hello, Mayor Wu."
Otherwise, no one would have guessed that this middle-aged man, acting like a curious baby, was the renowned Mayor Wu!
The two chatted enthusiastically until work resumed at 2 PM, and Wu Xinmin reluctantly left.
As for the land matters, it progressed as quickly as Ye Yun estimated.
It was said to be by the end of the workday, but in reality, it wasn't even 3:30 PM when Wu Xinmin's secretary arrived with the contract.
After signing and sealing, Ye Yun couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
He had managed to gain such a significant advantage.
Since his rebirth, this was undoubtedly his biggest gain!
Meanwhile, seeing Ye Yun leave the Jinling Building, Wu Xinmin no longer hesitated and instructed his secretary.
"Prepare a car for me. I need to visit my teacher. There's something I want to discuss with him!"
"Yes!"
...
"Old leader, where did this kid get this miraculous medicine from? It's so amazing! I never expected it to actually reverse aging. Teacher, even your white hair has significantly reduced!" Seeing his teacher again, Wu Xinmin marveled.
Counting it all up, he hadn't seen his teacher for just over a month, yet his white hair had decreased, and his complexion had become more ruddy.
"I don't know either. I feel like young friend Ye has great secrets about him! Honestly, even I, who have personally experienced the magic of Gan Cao Yao, can't believe such an elixir exists in this world! Yao Ke Group is about to promote Gan Cao Yao nationwide. It's foreseeable that Yao Ke Group will quickly become a new unicorn in the country! Xinmin, you must keep such talent in our Jinling!"
"Don't worry, teacher. I've already made arrangements, and he has agreed to root Yao Ke Group in Jinling. However, something surprised me: he didn't want any other place, only requesting 50,000 square meters of land at the foot of Nanshan Mountain."
"What did you say!!"
