The Ambitions to Conquer the Official Career-Chapter 706 Various Preparations

More and more people were arriving, and Shisong County’s reception capacity was truly being tested.

Ji Yang frowned as he looked at the ever-increasing tents.

Even though everyone knew they couldn’t reach the cave dwelling, they couldn’t help but come here to watch.

In particular, after many experienced the atmosphere of the ancient city firsthand, they became even more convinced that this place was blessed with a mystical fate.

Additionally, some people with health problems had moved to the ancient city and seen minor ailments miraculously heal. The result was an overwhelming desire to live there, causing property prices to skyrocket. Now, even a standard room costing two thousand a night was in short supply.

"Bro, you have no idea how crazy the tourists are," Feng Xiaozhi clearly was in high spirits, expressing a sense of painful joy. "Many are making private deals with residents inside, offering several times the price just to stay there. We now have no vacant rooms at all—even some that our staff lived in have been converted to guest rooms."

How much of your invested money has been returned?

Beyond the cost of lodging, there were expenses for food and entertainment, so Feng Xiaozhi’s company was truly making a killing.

"Anyway, we’ve recouped our initial investment, and everything from here on out is pure profit."

Ji Yang nodded slightly, "Very soon, those Hidden Families will probably arrive, and once they do, they might propose that you sell the ancient city to them."

"Ah, what should we do then?" Feng Xiaozhi began to worry.

"If it becomes unbearable, selling at a high price isn’t such a bad idea."

"But isn’t that a huge loss?"

Ji Yang smiled faintly, "It’s just a Fengshui Formation. Where can’t you create another? Take the land near the city government office and develop real estate there."

"That place doesn’t have such Fengshui, does it?"

"It will in time."

Ji Yang had pretty much figured out the Spirit Gathering Array by now. With the right jade stones, he could build an even better Formation.

In the future, they could just claim the real estate development was coincidentally situated on a Fengshui Formation.

As for the properties that Qian Huifang and others owned, they might not be able to hold onto them either. Selling at a high price wouldn’t be a loss.

Feng Xiaozhi looked at Ji Yang and nodded firmly, "If that’s the case, we don’t need to make any further investments."

"That’s not necessarily true. The larger the business you build, the higher the selling price will be."

"Is there a chance they won’t offer any money and just force us to sell to them?"

Ji Yang chuckled, "Let them try."

Ji Yang had already considered this possibility. If such a situation arose, he wouldn’t mind letting them see what he was capable of, even if it meant destroying a few families.

At that moment, the leaders of Shisong County arrived.

Feng Xiaozhi immediately began discussions with them about developing that piece of land.

The leaders of Shisong County were truly exuberant. The county had completely transformed, with numerous connected individuals rushing to invest.

Feng Xiaozhi’s company had always had a good relationship with the county, and the land they wanted was considered of little value, so negotiations concluded swiftly.

Ji Yang naturally did not participate in these negotiations, giving the impression that he wouldn’t interfere with the county’s affairs.

In the next few days, Qian Huifang had acquired their lands, contracts were signed, and they rapidly began construction.

One of the main reasons Ji Yang had not left Shisong County was that he was waiting for the arrival of the Hidden Families. He knew that many mysterious Hidden Families existed in the world, unseen and unheard of. With such a significant event unfolding here, it was impossible for them not to come.
