I Have a Connection in the Eastern Part of the City; the Risk Is a Little High

Looking at the respectful Li Fengheng, Li Mubai's expression returned to normal.

The reason why the other party contacted him is currently unknown.

Perhaps they have something to ask of you.

Li Mubai was not surprised at all that Li Fengheng had been able to find his place to stay.

The man before me is truly one who is incredibly wealthy.

Certainly.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

But their vast wealth is certainly unfathomable; that much is certain.

"Mr. Li, there's no need for such formalities. You are a guest, so please come inside and we can talk."

Li Mubai opened the door wide, gesturing for the other person to come inside.

A large crowd of neighbors had already gathered around, making it inconvenient to talk in such a public place.

Li Fengheng, who had been keeping his head slightly lowered, raised his head after hearing Li Mubai's words and looked at Li Mubai.

He had just heard the other person's displeased tone and thought he had offended them, so he immediately lowered his head to apologize, without even having a chance to see the other person's face clearly.

The next second.

Upon seeing Li Mubai's face clearly, Li Fengheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he stood there stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

The face of the young man before him suddenly overlapped with that of the young man who had been brooding over him last night.

Last night.

He had many other questions, such as why the young people he met during the day looked so familiar.

Only at this moment did he realize the truth.

The reason is...

He was also present during that Battle of the Two Titled Douluo.

Logically speaking...

The spectators at the Battle of the Twin Peaks should have all been figures from the Soul Master World.

But Li Fengheng managed to get into the audience of the arena by virtue of his wealth, and even watched the entire match.

Because the arena occupies too much space.

Therefore, he couldn't see the two sides in the match very clearly at the time, but he still vaguely remembered the general appearance of the young new elder.

And so.

It was only yesterday afternoon, when buying that house, that I felt a sense of déjà vu towards Li Mubai.

Upon realizing this, Li Fengheng suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Because the house was rented out, and he bought it despite the lease not being up yet.

Furthermore, the woman who rented the house seemed to have a close relationship with the new elder.

Oh no, I've offended someone... Li Fengheng sank, and then, under Li Mubai's gaze, he walked into the main hall of the house.

The servants behind him also wisely stood still and waited quietly.

They knew perfectly well that the young man standing by the gate was a big shot at the top of the world, and if they rushed into his house in a swarm, it would definitely displease him.

They would never do something so important, not even with more money!

After Li Fengheng entered the room, Li Mubai closed the door behind him.

Snap--

The door slammed shut with a crisp sound.

The little girl, who was originally eating breakfast at the living room table, had already been carried into the bedroom by Zhao Shuran.

As Li Fengheng entered the hall, he glanced at the layout of the hall out of the corner of his eye.

The layout of the entire hall is very simple.

The colors of the wall panels, floors, and furniture complemented each other, giving even someone as used to grand scenes a refreshing feeling.

Although the house was not as spacious as his mansion in Spirit City, and it lacked any valuable paintings or jewels, it was still very comfortable and had a warm feel to it.

"As expected of Titled Douluo's residence, it's truly extraordinary!"

Even with his vast experience and knowledge, Li Fengheng couldn't help but secretly admire him.

"Mr. Li, please have a seat."

Li Mubai's voice came from behind. Li Fengheng nodded in response and then lazily sat down on the sofa in the living room.

At this moment, he appeared calm and composed, but in reality, he was a little flustered.

Even if he is a wealthy businessman whose wealth rivals that of a nation, he is ultimately just an ordinary person.

Titled Douluo is a figure who truly stands at the pinnacle of this world, while he himself is at most on the hillside. The difference in their heights is like the difference between the bright moon and a firefly.

"No one visits a temple without a reason. Mr. Li, you've brought so many valuable gifts on your behalf. I don't like beating around the bush. What brings you here, Mr. Li? Please explain."

Li Mubai walked to the sofa, sat down naturally, and then looked at Li Fengheng and spoke frankly.

The merchant was cunning.

This is everyone's preconceived notion of businessmen, and Li Mubai naturally shared this objective impression.

Moreover...

He also didn't believe that the other party's purpose in coming here was a selfless and altruistic visit.

Li Fengheng paused for a moment when faced with Li Mubai's question.

This passive way of answering made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. In the past, he had always firmly grasped the initiative in the conversation, and no one had ever made him so passive, not even the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Li Fengheng understood perfectly well that this was just a normal conversation.

The reason I have this feeling is...

It's because there are very few people who are compatible with his status on a daily basis, so he can always control the conversation in every conversation he has with others.

And now.

Faced with Li Mubai's question, which carried a hint of coldness, Li Fengheng felt that the other party's attitude was too mild.

If it were another powerful titled expert...

She might not even see him, let alone invite him into the house and sit down to talk.

Thinking about this...

Li Fengheng's expression became even more respectful. "Elder, to be honest, I have indeed come here with a request."

"Speaking."

Immediately afterwards.

Li Fengheng then explained the purpose of his visit in detail.

During this period.

Li Mubai did not interrupt rashly, but listened quietly from the side, nodding occasionally to give the other party some response.

Zhao Shuran came out once, poured two cups of the brewed tea, and placed them on the coffee table.

Upon seeing Zhao Shuran, Li Fengheng, whose composure had been gradually fading, panicked once again.

Fortunately, Zhao Shuran did not stay long.

After pouring the tea, he went back to his room.

After a while, Li Fengheng finally explained the whole story.

"So, you want me to go back to your hometown with you to save face and make your father look at you in a new light?"

Li Mubai astutely pointed out the implied meaning in Li Fengheng's words.

Li Fengheng felt somewhat embarrassed after his secret was exposed.

He had already been quite subtle in his remarks, but the other party's words were so blunt that it made him lose face.

However, he quickly accepted reality and nodded, saying:

That's right.

"As long as you come with me, Elder, I will give you three-tenths of the annual income of the Sili Trading Company."

Li Fengheng looked at Li Mubai with expectant eyes, awaiting an answer.

Under his expectant gaze, the latter slowly shook his head. "Mr. Li, let's discuss this matter another time."

Upon hearing this...

A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Li Fengheng's eyes.

The reason Li Mubai refused Li Fengheng's request was not because he was allergic to money or looked down on the three-tiered income of the Sili Trading Company.

To be honest.

These three sources of income were somewhat tempting to him.

But.

These three layers of profit are not so easy to obtain.

Some rights come with corresponding responsibilities.

Li Mubai could see Li Fengheng's purpose clearly.

The other party intended to use these three layers of income to firmly bind him and make him their backer. This would bring immeasurable benefits to both the future development of the business and the development of Li Fengheng's family.

These hidden benefits are far more important than the three-tiered revenue stream of the business!

Although Li Fengheng felt somewhat disappointed by Li Mubai's rejection, he was not sensible enough to back down.

It's currently the height of summer, and there's still a long time until the New Year.

During this period.

As long as he interacts with the other party more, he still has a chance!

After all, relationships and friendships cannot be built up in a single visit, and Li Fengheng is very adept at this.

"But..."

Just as Li Fengheng thought the matter was unfounded and was about to leave, Li Mubai's voice came again:

"This matter isn't entirely unnecessarily unresolved."

Upon hearing this...

A look of excitement flashed across Li Fengheng's face. "Elder, what do you mean by that?"

A smile appeared on Li Mubai's face. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then stated his conditions:

"I'll go back with you once, but I have one condition."

"I hope the Elder will not hesitate to offer his guidance."

"I have a connection in the east of the city. It's risky, but the profits are considerable."

Li Mubai turned his gaze to Li Fengheng, who looked completely bewildered.

Seeing that the other party didn't understand.

Left with no other option, Li Mubai could only explain in detail:

"Due to the recent influx of a large number of people into Spirit City, many problems have arisen in Spirit City."

Both the traffic congestion in Spirit City and the shortage of housing in Spirit City are troublesome issues.

So.

His Holiness the Pope made a decision.

The area east of Spirit City is to be developed, with the intention of turning it into a new district.

The new district was built solely with funding from Spirit City.

This burden is relatively heavy.

Therefore, after discussing with His Holiness the Pope, we decided to use investment attraction to develop the new urban area.

My condition is very simple: you just need to invest there.

Upon hearing this...

Li Fengheng did not reply directly. Instead, he held up a cup of tea and pretended to drink water, using the time to ponder the pros and cons of the matter.

After taking a small sip of tea, Li Fengheng then said:

"May I ask, Elder, how should we invest in the development of this new city?"

He didn't agree immediately, but instead asked questions to gain a more detailed understanding of the new city development.

"Simple."

Li Mubai smiled and continued:

"I will first draw up the planning map of the new city, and then sell the land plots one by one according to the designated areas."

Apart from certain specific locations, you are free to build housing, commercial streets, or trading markets on other plots of land.

And once these buildings are completed, how you profit from them is up to you.

This will definitely involve some risks.

Please think it over carefully before giving me an answer.

Li Fengheng put down his teacup and lowered his head slightly in thought.

The Spirit Hall's plan to develop a new city on that large plot of land in the east of the city is a good thing, and the business opportunities are indeed huge.

After the last Battle of the Two Titled Douluo...

A large number of ordinary people, as well as Soul Master, flocked to Spirit City.

The arrival of these people will definitely greatly boost the economic vitality of Spirit City and significantly increase its consumption power.

Under such circumstances.

Investing in the new city offers a great opportunity to make money.

If housing is built, given the current upward trend in housing prices in Spirit City, as long as one can remain patient and release these houses onto the market later, they will definitely make a fortune.

The most important thing is...

Li Fengheng's gaze was deep; what he valued was not how much money he would make from the investment.

What he valued was Bibi Dong, the initiator of this new city development!

Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.

The opponent's influence in the Soul Master World is unparalleled, even surpassing that of the royal families of the two great empires by a factor of ten thousand.

And on this Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme.

Bibi Dong's status was undoubtedly as high as the heavens.

Investing in the new city offers a chance to meet this incredibly influential person.

If you're lucky, you might actually be able to get involved with Bibi Dong.

Even the slightest connection would undoubtedly have a huge impact on both his family and the business he founded.

Even his family and business empire will rise rapidly in the future, achieving great success!

And.

Even if doing so fails to establish a relationship with the Pope, it can still gain the goodwill of the Tenth Elder.

This is a win-win situation.

The cost is nothing more than the loss of some money.

Li Fengheng didn't care about money.

Because the money he has earned in a year from the business he founded is now an astronomical figure.

They exchanged some money for the future development opportunities of their family business.

They made a fortune!

Thinking about this...

Li Fengheng's mind began to stir.

He slightly raised his head, gazing intently at Li Mubai, and then said sincerely:

"Elder, regarding the development and construction of the new city, my Sili Trading Company will definitely lend a helping hand!"

"Good!"

Li Mubai was also somewhat pleased.

Bibi Dong placed the entire burden of building the new city on his shoulders. If he didn't complete the new city, he would have to risk his life to meet her.

Even with his extensive experience, he was somewhat troubled by such a complicated matter.

After the new city is planned, it is very difficult to attract investment.

Even if he were Titled Douluo, he wouldn't have the influence to persuade businessmen to invest in a new city whose future is uncertain.

Merchants are, after all, driven by profit.

These people won't act rashly until they see a way to profit.

And now?

With Li Fengheng as the starting point, those businessmen will definitely come to investigate.

All Li Fengheng needs to do is boast a little to those people, and those leeks... no, no, I should say those businessmen, will definitely flock to the new city to invest.

At that time.

He only needed to let the bullets fly for a while, quietly wait for the new city to be established, and the task of building the new city would be perfectly completed.

"Since you've agreed to my condition, just let me know when you're going back to your hometown, and I'll make time to go back with you."
