Chapter 440: Fang Tang’s Killing Intent!
"President Lin, is this really our property?"
The people from the Qin Corporation were shocked as they looked at the introduction on the screen.
Even Qin Luoli had an incredulous expression on her face.
It had only been a few days, and Haiyuan Tiancheng had transformed into this. It was truly an Immortal Realm!
Just one glance, and Qin Luoli had fallen in love with the place.
"Correct," Lin Mu said, leaning back in his chair. "Now, are you still worried you won’t be able to sell it?"
"How could we not sell it?" the sales manager said, his face flushed with excitement. "Forget 8,000, even at 10,000 per square meter, people would be fighting to buy it!"
Lin Mu looked at him. "Ten thousand?"
The sales manager lowered his voice. "Is that too high?"
Lin Mu let out a laugh. "Too low!"
"At least 100,000!" Lin Mu declared, holding up one finger and wagging it at the group.
"Are they all villas?" the sales manager asked. If they’re all villas, we could try for 100,000 per square meter, although even that price is outrageously high.
"No." Lin Mu shook his head. "The 100,000 I’m talking about is for the standard apartments. The price for the villa area hasn’t been set yet."
"What? Standard apartments, 100,000 per square meter?" The sales manager was stunned. "President Lin, isn’t that price a bit too high?"
Lin Mu smiled. "Is it? The 100,000 price is only for the first three days of sales. Starting from the fourth day, the price will increase by 10,000 each day. Take it or leave it!"
After his modifications, the Spiritual Energy in Coiling Dragon Bay would only become more abundant, and the environment would continue to improve. Over time, the residents here would realize what an incredible bargain they had gotten.
Everyone stared at Lin Mu, dumbfounded. They all thought he had gone mad.
An increase of 10,000 a day? Do you take everyone in Jiangling for a fool? Who in their right mind would buy it!
Qin Luoli glanced at Lin Mu and announced, "We’ll do as President Lin says. For the first three days, standard apartments will be 100,000 per square meter. Starting from the fourth day, the price will increase by 10,000 each day!"
"President Qin..." The sales manager’s face turned pale as he tried to dissuade her.
"This is a company directive. Are you objecting to it?" Qin Luoli’s tone turned icy.
The sales manager’s expression shifted. Gao Xing had only just been fired, and he had no desire to follow in his footsteps. "Rest assured, President Qin! I will do my absolute best to sell as many properties as possible!"
Lin Mu nodded. "Good. I’ll leave the sales to you. As for the villa area, we won’t sell it for now. I’ll make separate arrangements."
No one present objected to Lin Mu’s words. This President Lin was like a divine figure. In just a few days, he had transformed Haiyuan Tiancheng—no, Coiling Dragon Bay—into its current state, as if by magic. How could they possibly dare to object?
「」
"My god, have I walked into Jiuzhaigou or Shenlong Jia?" Zheng Mingye stood at the entrance of Coiling Dragon Bay, gaping at the scene before him.
Sun Tianyang smiled. "Young Master Mu’s methods are beyond what we mortals can imagine."
Despite his words, his heart was still reeling from the shock. In just a few days, Lin Mu had turned decay into a masterpiece—truly a feat worthy of a Heavenly Being.
At that thought, Sun Tianyang quickly pulled out his phone. "Young Master Mu, save a unit for this old man!"
"I’ll give you a twenty percent discount. Eighty thousand per square meter," Lin Mu’s voice came through the phone.
"Eighty thousand per square meter?" Sun Tianyang exclaimed in astonishment. "Why don’t you just rob me?"
"Take it or leave it!"
Fearing Lin Mu would hang up, Sun Tianyang hastily replied, "I’ll take it, I’ll take it! I want two!"
"There’s a limit of one unit per person!" Lin Mu said before hanging up.
Sun Tianyang stared blankly at his phone, silently kicking himself. I shouldn’t have tried to bargain with Young Master Mu.
Zheng Mingye’s jaw dropped even further. "You really bought one?"
"Yep."
"For eighty thousand per square meter?"
"Yep!"
"HISS!" Zheng Mingye sucked in a sharp breath, feeling his teeth ache.
Sun Tianyang chuckled. "If I buy now, I can still get a good location. Later on? Eighty thousand a square meter? Dream on!"
Coiling Dragon Bay was now protected by a Great Array. In terms of both its abundant Spiritual Energy and its location, it was considered the best in Jiangling. Once people realized its value and started scrambling to buy, even if they could afford one, they wouldn’t get a good spot.
Zheng Mingye carefully studied Coiling Dragon Bay, and a shiver ran through him. "No, I have to buy one right now!"
However, after he made the call, Zheng Mingye was left speechless.
Lin Mu had told him the price was one hundred thousand per square meter, non-negotiable.
"Son of a...!"
「」
As Coiling Dragon Bay’s properties went on sale, all of Jiangling was rocked by the news.
One hundred thousand per square meter? That was too expensive! It was an astronomical price!
And that was just for the standard apartments! The villa area wasn’t even for sale!
Who does business like this?
The Qin Corporation paid no mind to the public outcry, simply executing the rules Lin Mu had established. As a result, while there were many inquiries on the first day, very few people actually made a purchase.
Lin Mu wasn’t bothered by this at all. He had more important things to do.
「Night.」
Gao Xing was drinking himself into a stupor at a bar. Being handsome, he had no shortage of women trying to strike up a conversation.
However, Gao Xing wasn’t interested in the slightest. He had heard what happened with the Qin Corporation. Haiyuan Tiancheng had been renamed Coiling Dragon Bay and transformed into a paradise, a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. He had gone to see it for himself and was just as shocked as everyone else.
Gao Xing had tried to see Qin Luoli, but he was thrown out before he could even get a glimpse of her. Frustrated, he had come to the bar to drown his sorrows alone. At this moment, a pang of regret pierced through his drunken haze.
"Lin Mu, Qin Luoli, don’t get happy too soon!" Gao Xing snarled, slamming back a large glass of liquor. "Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand? The Fang Family is still in Jiangling! You’ll regret this!"
「At this very moment, in the Fang Family Mansion.」
Four men were seated in Fang Tang’s study. One was Fang Tang himself, another was Lu Tong, the head of the Jiangling Martial Alliance, and a third was Liu Xiu from the Military Department. The last was an old man dressed in a fiery red robe, from whom a searing heat seemed to radiate.
"Gentlemen," Fang Tang began, "the reason I’ve invited you here is to ask for your help in dealing with someone."
He looked utterly exhausted, his eyes bloodshot. It was clear he had a terrible day. All he could think about was how to eliminate Lin Mu.
Lu Tong spoke up. "You’re referring to that young man named Lin Mu, aren’t you?"
"That’s right!" Fang Tang hissed, clenching his teeth. "That whelp humiliated my Fang Family in front of so many people. This insult must be avenged!"
Liu Xiu spoke nonchalantly. "Just for a young whippersnapper like him, you felt the need to summon all three of us? Fang Tang, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill."
"Major General Liu, I assure you, I am not exaggerating," Fang Tang said urgently. "This man’s methods are uncannily effective; we must be on our guard."
"Mm," Lu Tong added. "I also heard he transformed Haiyuan Tiancheng into an Immortal Realm in just three days. He certainly has some skill."
Liu Xiu, however, scoffed at the notion. "Such a trivial matter doesn’t require us to act personally. I can just send a few of my men to take care of it."
He chuckled. "And since that so-called Coiling Dragon Bay has become an Immortal Realm, it’s hardly something an ordinary person should be allowed to possess!"
"Thank you, Major General!" Fang Tang exclaimed, overjoyed. "As long as Lin Mu is dead, the Fang Family will reward you handsomely."
"Of course, of course."
Just then, the phone belonging to the old man who had been silent the entire time began to ring. He pulled it out and answered.
"What? Someone has broken into my Fire Cloud Sect?!"
