Mayor Mu immediately said, "Mr. Shen, you can rest assured on that score. As long as you start construction on our geothermal power station ahead of schedule, I can authorize an allocation of land for you, free of charge."
The proposal certainly sounded tempting. Shanghai was notorious for its high land prices.
The land Phantom Immortal Technology needed for its factory would certainly be no small plot. Although the factory did not necessarily have to be built in the city proper, nowhere in Shanghai was cheap, no matter how remote.
This was a goddamn windfall worth billions, perhaps even tens of billions.
But would the Shanghai City government lose out? Of course not.
Given Phantom Immortal Technology's capabilities, the factory's annual profits and tax contributions would probably be no less than that amount. They would recoup the money in a year or two at most.
It would also create jobs and raise Shanghai City's level of technological innovation.
Of course, the most important thing was getting construction on the geothermal power station started ahead of schedule.
All of these would count as achievements in office!
Shen Bing smiled. "That sounds great!"
Mayor Mu froze for a moment. Had he agreed just like that? That could not be right.

"However..." Shen Bing hesitated.
Mayor Mu's heart immediately rose into his throat. Whatever followed that "however" was the important part.
"However what? Please speak freely, Mr. Shen. If
