Originally, Lin Yun had planned to go to Wangxian Tower at ten in the morning.
But something happened.
Lin Yun's Martial Arts Realm broke through to the Mingjin Peak.
His body began to undergo another transformation.
Nothing was more important than his martial arts training, so Lin Yun decisively gave up his plan to go to Wangxian Tower.
When he finished consolidating his realm, it was almost noon.
At noon, Lin Yun appeared punctually at Wangxian Tower.
Lin Yun directly ascended the secluded staircase to the fifth floor of Wangxian Tower.
"Mr. Lin is here!"
"Mr. Lin!"
"Boss Lin!"
Seeing Lin Yun appear, many major businessmen got up to greet him enthusiastically.
Because Lin Yun didn't give a specific time, many major businessmen had arrived at six or seven in the morning, fearing that they would miss out. They were getting impatient, but fortunately, Lin Yun finally arrived.
"Humph!"
Seeing Lin Yun only just shows up made the secretary beside Secretary Zhu could not help but snort.
This Lin Yun really had a big attitude, making them wait for as long as four hours.
In this period, he had been drinking tea, making so many trips to the bathroom.
"I was held up by some matters and came late, I hope everyone can understand!" Lin Yun looked at the crowd, gave a slight smile, and said.
"Haha! No problem at all! Mr. Lin is not like us small businessmen, who are very busy every day. It's completely reasonable if you have urgent affairs that need dealing with!"
"Mr. Lin, you are exaggerating. We did not wait that long at all. It's nothing!"
"Who hasn't encountered such a situation? We understand."
Some major businessmen said while laughing.
To be honest, they had been worried that Lin Yun, relying on his wealth, would look down on them. This would mean that even if they cooperated, their status could not be assured. Lin Yun's explanation made them feel much better.
"Mr. Lin, I may have offended you that day, please forgive me. It's the luck of Immortal Origin County to have such an outstanding person as Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin, do you have plans to invest in Immortal Origin County?
If so, I will definitely give you the maximum discount."
At this time, Secretary Zhu came forward, smiling sincerely.
Lin Yun's words came out slowly.
Listening to Lin Yun's words, Secretary Zhu's assistant was momentarily speechless.
He hadn't expected Lin Yun, who had only been back a few days, to have such a deep understanding of this issue.
He hadn't even paid attention to many of these matters himself.
Quickly recovering, he asserted, "Unyielding problems require hard measures. Many people from outside the county jokingly call us 'tricycle county.' Is that a good reputation? Do you know how much this affects our county's image? Many investors refuse to invest in Immortal Origin County simply because of this image, causing us to lose countless jobs..."
"If the people can live well and enjoy their lives, I don't care if we're referred to as 'tricycle county', or even 'tricycle country.' The happiness index of a city is not solely determined by whether it has fewer tricycles or more cars," Lin Yun responded indifferently.
"As for the reason many investors refuse to invest in Immortal Origin County... might that be more of a government issue?" Lin Yun asked, shooting the secretary a pointed look.
"There is a saying in Immortal Origin County, 'better to detour a thousand miles than pass through Immortal Origin.' Isn't this because of the people of Immortal Origin County's problems? Except those people also have another identity: they're the Immortal Origin County officials!" Lin Yun stated calmly.
"You... are you referring to something from years ago? Since Secretary Zhu came to Immortal Origin County, he has devoted himself to the county's development. There have been significant changes in the county. Having been away for many years, you should be more appreciative of these changes..." Secretary Zhu's assistant retorted, blushing from anger.
Lin Yun watched the secretary's reaction.
If he hadn't used his super-brain to examine their incomes, he might have believed that these officials were genuinely caring for the people.
Each new project poured the hard-earned money of ordinary people into these officials' pockets.
The more these officials accomplished, the higher their incomes became.
Indeed, Immortal Origin County had changed a lot over these years, but these changes had been supported by hefty land sale proceeds. Agricultural land sold to residents for a few tens of thousands could be sold by them for hundreds of thousands or even a million per acre.
They could spend nearly ten million to regulate three-wheel vehicles without any consideration for the public loss. They could sell the city buses for tens of millions, taxis even for higher prices, and extract enormous profits...
But they were unwilling to spend money to genuinely improve the transportation system in Immortal Origin County.
But of course, Lin Yun could not say all this in public.
Lin Yun closed his eyes, then opened them slowly.
He calmly looked at Secretary Zhu, who had remained silent all this while, and said, "If you want me to invest in Immortal Origin County, no problem, I can invest over thirty billion within a year."
At Lin Yun's words, Secretary Zhu was thrilled.
The people around were equally stunned.
Investing more than thirty billion within a year wasn't a small amount.
"However, I have one condition," Lin Yun continued.
"Mr. Lin, please state your condition, we'll do our best to meet it..." Secretary Zhu eagerly responded.
If he could secure this achievement, his promotion would be fast-tracked.
It would significantly brighten his career profile and greatly assist his future political path.
"Before that, apply for a transfer elsewhere yourself," Lin Yun said indifferently.
