Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1915  Going for the Auction -Final

Yet it was pretty obvious from their interactions in the past that they never knew about each other and it was to the point where they had fought against each other for survival. The creation of the Tree Mall was partially due to the Tiger\'s interference and he knew from a quick look at the accounts that Jin was not with them at all. Nor were they given any compensation for it.

But in recent days, Jin had been getting close with the Royal Zodiacs and he did not hesitate to display such a relationship. Xiong Da still remembered how the Royal Zodiac Leaders had joined during the Pandastic Festival and people were practically worshipping Jin for bringing them to the dungeon supplier store. And this particular unexplained development was expounded on with Jin and Ma Ge. Granted that there must be some relations where they had met each other in the capacity of their \'extra curriculum activities\' by being Demon Exorcists. (Xiong Da also knew about the school instance since as the number one supporter of the dungeon supplier, he had access to news of the latest instances even though Jin usually kept quiet on quite a number of developments.)

But the way they talked was like equals, not of client and product manager relations. "Xiong Da, you have traveled quite a fair bit, what do you think of these land allocations?" Jin asked and the lawyer took a look at the items they had selected. "Huh, most of them are in popular spots but they are rather small compared to the few in the outskirts of the city which are bigger in size."

"Size is a commodity. In fact, if you choose the outskirts, I might even give you a discount." Ma Ge offered but the trio knew where he was going with that. While he did earn a lot from the previous transaction that IFC Holdings had secured, by selling land on the outskirts of the cities to Jin, he maintained the smaller sizes that could be used to be sold for higher prices to other customers.

"Heh, we knew your intentions."

"Well, yeah. But seeing how you attract business and people like a honeypot to bees, we believe that you can develop the outskirts of the cities you have chosen. In fact, we will assist with the construction and revitalisation phase of the area. Whatever you want, we will consider it greatly. This is how much the Royal Horse Clan is betting you can make good money." Ma Ge said and Jin laughed.

"If that\'s the case, why don\'t you just give me the land to develop it further? You think I cannot do it after the construction of the Tree Mall?" "Honestly, after you created that Tree Mall, everyone in the Royal Horse Clan was...extremely interested in how you did it. We did send a few surveyors to look at it but they could never figure out the construction phase. It felt like you used magic to carve out the entire place but at the same time, we knew that was almost impossible given the timeline." Ma Ge commented.

"It\'s a trade secret." Jin smiled and then Xiong Da and Kraft looked at the selection once more. Bigger is no doubt better but considering this was on the outskirts of the city, they were a bit more apprehensive towards that idea as they wanted good traffic.

"If you really want big, you should just go for this place." Xiong Da also felt frustrated looking at the options even though the Royal Horses were waiting patiently to the point that they were not even using their phones. Their respect for the customers were of top tier standard but the Royal Horses also knew that they put themselves in such a situation too.

They could have allowed the duo to take the selection list home to study it well but they did not. The Royal Horses including Ma Ge were there on purposely to put pressure on them and yet Jin and Kraft did not care even though Xiong Da did.

He knew there were people who had thick skin but he never expected that both groups were able to fight for the top place. As Jin and Kraft were asking for ways to get the selection list out, the more reasons the Royal Horses gave as well.

And since it came to this, the duo utilised the power of their otherworldly being to check out the lands and make comparisons on the go. And to their surprise, the one that Xiong Da chose, was actually one of the better choices.

"A 68 percent chance of success if developed well. There is no need for the Royal Horses to meddle with the development as well." The System stated and Jin was staring at that piece of land.

"Wait a minute. Can I ask why is this plot of land not sold? It\'s well within Beijing. Shouldn\'t the land be more precious?" Jin asked since he is not exactly in the know of the geopolitics of Beijing. (China is too big that it\'s quite common to be ignorant.)

"This one? Changping District, Liu Qian Town?" Ma Ge picked the folder up to have a closer look at it. "Oh. This one. Their town mayor filed for bankruptcy due to poor choices in development. It was to the point that people literally played the intonation of the words and made it sound like flowing money or losing money."

"Flowing money sounds like a good name. Flowing money in is what we want. I do not see a problem with that."

"Most of the townfolks knew that their days were numbered as well. They have a few good cultural stores and even a decent weaver too. If I am not wrong, one of their daughters had attempted to revive the business by using her family\'s weaving techniques on social media. It was mildly successful but the fact that the town was bankrupt had made it hard for her to spread her goods or let people know of her skills."

"Is that supposed to make me take pity on her?" Jin asked and Ma Ge shrugged.

"I am merely providing information to you. If you are taking this town, I can give you an even lower price if you are willing to provide some jobs for the townfolks too."

"Lol, and here I thought Royal Horses are heartless people. That\'s what people stereotype when we do our taxes." Jin commented.

"If they are not earning money, we cannot earn that tax too. In fact, we might need to provide some social support for them too. So, I rather do them a favour, give the new owner some discount and that discount could be passed to them in terms of jobs and opportunities."

"Its still a fairly far ride from the main cities though. If we were to build this, our project should lean towards resort management." Kraft stated and Xiong Da agreed to that.

"Hahaha, not another Tree Mall?" Jin teased and Xiong Da countered with his limited knowledge.

"It\'s not viable in my humble opinion. Maybe factories and manufacturing would not mind the distance since they would need space. And considering how you created your Tree Mall, most of the shops I see have a certain size and the space was more in the basement, which leads me to believe that the more space you have, it is proportionate to the size of the dungeon instance too."

"You are not exactly wrong but I can see how we can cater to factories since we do not have any of that in the Tree Mall."

"Heh. If you are doing a manufacturing hub while trying to lure customers, I am all for that. I have a lot of factory bosses who needed cheap manufacturing places." Ma Ge said and did not mind pushing them toward Jin\'s way.

"Wow, it will be hard to juggle factories and resorts at the same time. The roads have to be reworked too." Jin said and Ma Ge smiled, indicating that if he ever to go that route. He would be there to provide the necessary infrastructure too.

"If that\'s the case, then we will consider this and put it aside first," Jin said and Ma Ge stifled his laughter. He really thought that Jin was done choosing when in reality, he was just putting this as one of his choices. Xiong Da could only shrug his shoulders when he locked eyes with Ma Ge, trying to tell him that he brought this upon himself.
