Chapter 714: Chapter 714 Gan Corporation
Ji Yang had been invited to Feng Xiaozhi’s residence.
Feng Xiaozhi owned a small courtyard in Stone City, a place where spiritual energy was the most concentrated. Ever since she moved in, her spirit and appearance improved day by day.
“Brother, there’s a situation that I need your advice on.”
After Ji Yang sat down, he asked, “What’s the situation?”
“The Gan Corporation has arrived.”
Ji Yang frowned and said, “What’s this all about?” He wasn’t too clear about business matters.
Feng Xiaozhi began to explain, “In our country, there are so companies that may not appear prominent on the surface, but they hold substantial shares in many companies. What’s most important is that their family mbers are involved not just in business but also in politics.”
So that’s how it was!
Ji Yang was starting to understand.
Feng Xiaozhi continued, “The Gan Corporation is a century-old enterprise, said to have existed even before the founding of the nation. Later, they expanded overseas. After the economic reforms, they returned with great influence dostically. Many provincial leaders have to give them face.”
“How did you find out?”
“They also wield great influence in Harbor City. We learned of it unintentionally.”
Ji Yang wondered if these were actually people from the Hidden Families.
Ever since eting Xuan Yanwu, Ji Yang had lost so of his reverence for those so-called Hidden Families.
“Who is pressuring you?”
“Well, the negotiation was initiated by a leader stationed in Harbor. He proposed that the Gan Corporation wants to acquire our ancient city entirely, offering a price that’s not low—thirty billion.”
Considering that they had invested twenty billion, indeed, the offer was high. However, given the ancient city’s rich spiritual energy and the constant influx of people, the developntal value was enormous. Potentially, the revenue could reach a hundred billion a year. To think they want to grab it for just thirty billion did suggest an elent of coercion.
Feng Xiaozhi looked to Ji Yang, knowing that he was the only one who could decide on this.
If it were anyone else, facing such formidable power, they would probably sell the ancient city imdiately.
Ji Yang, however, had his own plans; he wanted to continue building connections with the cultivation world through the ancient city. So, it wasn’t about the money for him—it was about much more.
“Don’t sell it. Without a hundred billion, don’t bother talking.”
“Brother, isn’t the asking price too high? A hundred billion is impossible. The Gan Family’s power is significant, as is their influence. Moreover, I’ve heard that dostically, they are said to be intermarried with many other families.”
“Intermarried?”
“You may not know, and I’m not sure how, but the Gan Family is known for producing beautiful won, and apparently, Gan won have very special bodies.”
Feng Xiaozhi ntioned this with a aningful glance at Ji Yang.
Ji Yang was also sowhat astonished; he hadn’t expected such a thing.
Feng Xiaozhi added, “I’m just worried that offending them could affect your progress, and they might even try to pressure you through your connections.”
Yet, Ji Yang thought of sothing else. If overt approaches didn’t work, would they resort to more covert thods?
He handed a piece of jade to Feng Xiaozhi and said, “Wear this. If anything happens, it can save your life.”
Since inheriting certain skills, Ji Yang was able to craft magic artifacts. Making protective jades out of jade stones was a simple task for him.
Seeing Ji Yang giving her the jade pendant, Feng Xiaozhi’s face bead with happiness as she imdiately put it on.
“Alright, I’ll do as you say and ask for a hundred billion.”
“Don’t worry about them. I’m rather curious to see what kind of people will co!”
Since reaching the third level of a Qi Refining Practitioner, especially after witnessing Xuan Yanwu’s cultivation level, Ji Yang knew that he was a force to be reckoned with. He was indeed eager to et these cultivators.
