Compared to Zhang Xuezhou's enthusiasm for the project, Feng Xiangyu and others were even more enthusiastic.

Wang Haoran was able to answer part of the question, while Zhu Liangping was able to answer the other part.

Once the matter escalates, aside from Zhang Xuezhou's funding and supplementary policy-related contributions, the focus will shift to the large-scale providers.

Feng Xiangyu and others will become important supervisors and managers of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.

If this kind of creation causes any conflict, it will be a dispute between Feng Xiangyu and others and the corresponding parties.

He thought of the two dead purple gladioli at the High-tech Agricultural Products Center, and then of the series of misfortunes that befell the members of the second Sequence Committee after the changes, which ultimately led to the deaths of many. A shadow fell over his heart.

Very few people survived the first expedition to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum. Of the dozen or so committee members, only a handful survived, including his elder brother Zhu Wei, who later lost his life.

Zhu Liangping vaguely felt that there was some special connection between them, but he couldn't figure out the factors that made that connection.

Now, he feels that some hidden connections may be being uncovered.

What appears to be merely a move to appease the remnants of the Luofu Dynasty upon taking Zhang Xuezhou has undoubtedly disrupted the balance.

Zhu Liangping glanced at Zuo Quan and noticed that Zuo Quan looked somewhat uneasy.

Times have changed!

Decades ago, no one would have dared to break ground in a place like an imperial tomb, let alone build a theme park.

As time goes by, everything changes completely.

The last vestiges of the Louvre dynasty were also completely exposed.

Once this agreement is signed today, there's no turning back.

"Good!"

After a large number of contracts were signed, many people continued to transfer money through e-wallets and other means.

As everyone watched, the amount in the ' Western Capital Jingshan Co., Ltd.'s' capital account continued to rise sharply, and cheers erupted from time to time.

With the money in place, everything else will fall into place.

Compared to Zhu Haishan's era of producing TV dramas and books, this kind of production is simple, crude, and flamboyant, and the amount of money involved often makes people gasp.

"Director Zhang, there's something I don't understand. Why were you willing to invest such a huge amount of money?" Zuo Quan finally couldn't help but ask.

"Hello, Committee Member Zuo," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and replied, "If I said I focus on return on investment, would you believe me?"

"I think this project has the potential to be profitable, but it's unlikely to generate large dividends in the short term, and it will be difficult to get the funds back," Zuo Quan said, shaking his head.

"What if I said it was for the sake of a stable and easy term of office?" Zhang Xuezhou laughed, "The amount of 300 million that I have to allocate during my term isn't much. It's still less than the losses caused by a serious accident, and it saves me from having to travel all over the country!"

"Well?"

"Old Feng shouldn't object to me taking over as the director of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum Management Office now, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked directly.

"No, no, that's not true at all. We've never even considered such a thing, and we will firmly support Director Zhang and won't cause him any trouble!"

Feng Xiangyu waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly.

The construction and development of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum cannot be completed in a few months or years. It may even need to be updated with the times and requires continuous maintenance. Therefore, the stable development of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum is inevitable.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou can push forward this mega-project, these people will be very stable, and may even put aside their past hatred for the Scarlet Alliance State and join in this construction.

Zhang Xuezhou is right. Everyone needs Zhang Xuezhou and will maintain a good relationship with him. It's impossible for anything to go wrong.

"Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood up, walked out, and shook hands with Feng Xiangyu.

If it doesn't involve matters like the fortunes of Dongshan, Zhang Xuezhou had already arranged the work for the next ten years or so on his first day in office.

Even if he takes a day off and rests for a month, he will still be protected by these old-fashioned people with vested interests.

In just two hours, Feng Xiangyu had already witnessed the interest group represented by Zhang Xuezhou. The other party was not only a leading figure among the younger generation, but also had many committee members supporting him, and even had extremely wealthy assets.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou remains in this position, the other party can ensure the smooth implementation of government orders.

This doesn't require Zhang Xuezhou to work diligently at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, nor does it require the other party to travel to various places to offer condolences, nor does it require the other party to maintain order and stop the violence.

If someone becomes an official and brings substantial funds into the relevant system, and if things proceed in a relatively correct direction, Feng Xiangyu feels that he would find it easy and pleasant to serve in any position.

He also held Zhang Xuezhou's hands tightly and kept urging people to take pictures to record the event.

"Back in the day, our old man was running around dealing with sporadic riots in various places, searching through all sorts of historical materials, and painstakingly producing and promoting those brain-dead TV dramas. He's good as he is; he did this one thing and then retired!"

Zhu Youjia was Zhu Kuang's uncle. After Zhu Haishan's unexpected death, he entered the core of the Zhu family and took charge of various Lineage affairs.

However, the legitimate heir of the Zhu family is Zhu Kuang, and Zhu Youjia often discusses matters with Zhu Kuang when recounting events.

He spoke softly to Zhu Kuang, comparing the major projects Zhang Xuezhou had completed upon taking office, and couldn't help but sigh at Zhu Haishan's busy schedule back then.

"Times have changed, and so have ideas. Some things that were necessary in the past are no longer important today. And Zhang Xuezhou is a very interesting person!"

Wishing you a peaceful and quiet state of mind.

Zhu Kuang was not surprised by the changes brought about by the times, which narrowed the choices available to these old-fashioned people. However, Zhu Kuang was surprised by the speed at which Zhang Xuezhou handled matters.

For Zhang Xuezhou, who was sometimes lucid and sometimes dormant, Zhu Kuang always found that Zhang Xuezhou with swift and decisive action.

He had supported Zuo Teng when he was promoted to deputy captain of the Western Capital City Special Task Force, and witnessed firsthand how Zuo Teng had overcome numerous difficulties step by step.

Even now, Zuo Teng still hasn't managed to control the many people under his command.

This doesn't mean that many of the task force members were rebelling against Zuo Teng, but rather that their cooperation and assistance were not at an ideal level.

If it weren't for the popularity generated by the first Youth Challenge, it would have been much more difficult for Zuo Teng to establish himself in such a powerful position.

Zhu Kuang sometimes wonders how Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou would handle things given his physical condition if he replaced Zuo Teng, and whether he could quickly stabilize the situation.

He kept comparing Zuo Teng and Zhang Xuezhou, and thought about it for a long time, but he felt that he could hardly come up with a relevant solution.

"However, Zuo Teng could ask Zhang Xuezhou?"

Zuo Teng was currently unable to secure his position, and Zhu Kuang couldn't come up with an answer either. However, Zhu Kuang thought it might be worth trying to consult Zhang Xuezhou, which might bring unexpected benefits.

"Speaking of which Zuo Teng seems to be a bit..."

Thinking of Zuo Teng, with whom he had previously had a reasonably good relationship, Zhu Kuang couldn't help but think about Zuo Teng's recent apparent coldness. This made him sigh, realizing that even with the help of the ferocious beast belt, he hadn't been able to keep up with the leading group, and a clear gap had appeared between them and their peers.

He glanced out of the management office building and saw Zuo Teng, dressed in uniform, with a blank expression, seemingly uninterested in everything around him. His eyes, like those of a hawk, scanned each guest participating in the ceremony.

Even though things were peaceful and festive outside, Zuo Teng seemed to be ensuring that security measures were in place and that no accidents would occur.
