Chapter 417
Su Jin felt like he had blown this thing a little out of proportion. His hometown was just a little town in the mountains, but now, all sorts of luxury cars had filled up the already not very wide mountain road.
“I understand what you guys are trying to do and I’m very grateful, but… all I wanted to do was to make my family happy for the day. There’s no need to invest billions to develop this little mountain village, is there? Is there even a point in doing so?” asked Su Jin with a tired sigh as he slapped his forehead.
“Of course there is. This is your hometown, so it’s definitely a good place for development. We’ve already made all the preparations. For the first phase, we’ll pump in $27 billion to replace and upgrade the basic facilities here, then we’ll decide how much to pump in for the second and third phase after that,” said Tracy with a straight face.
Su Jin nearly threw up blood. He was frustrated as he said, “Please guys, that’s ridiculous. $27 billion is enough to buy not just this village but all their ancestors before them! You’re using it to replace and upgrade the facilities here? Even if you placed tiles on every square inch of land here, you would still have money leftover!”
“That’s not a problem. If there’s leftover, we could give it to the residents. How about $1 million USD per person? Or more?” suggested Murray.
“That’s ENOUGH! If you’re going to be like this, I’m going to make all of you leave the country!” Su Jin warned them with a nasty glare before walking away to deal with a different problem.
Yup, Su Jin’s problem wasn’t only these owners from the other side of the world, but Situ Jin as well. Situ Jin made Su Jin some outstanding young entrepreneur of sorts and got him several plaques and medals. There were so many along the lines of Top Ten Young National Talents, and while the local government didn’t know what these medals were all about, they did not doubt Situ Jin and supported him in any way they could.
Su Jin found Situ Jin and said, “And what are YOU trying to do? I don’t think the resources that a department assigned to protect the country from otherworldly forces was meant for such matters.”
“This is just to express the nation’s gratitude to you. After all, if not for you, our country would have been overrun either by those owners from the other side of the world, or Shen Wu’s robbers!” said Situ Jin with a big grin on his face.
