Chapter 114:


    "I have a piece ofnd, about eight acres, you know?" Lin Qi changed his sitting posture, took a puff of Colofu, and looked at Joegleman sitting on the other side of the office desk.


    Thetter frowned slightly. Honestly, he didn''t know about this matter. In Sabin City, there were rarelyrge-scale financial operations, and the situation in the six major banks was basically the same.


    If any bank had recently had arge transaction, Joegleman would know about it first. This industry was like a transparent ss wall to insiders, with not many secrets to speak of.


    Lin Qi''s im of owning eight acres ofnd seemed strange to Joegleman. Before coborating with Lin Qi, he had conducted investigations. Lin Qi didn''t seem to have the qualifications to buy such arge piece ofnd in Sabin City.


    Buyingnd in Baylor Federation was a straightforward matter - if one had the money, one could buy it. However, it also wasn''t that simple. Mostnd transactions were rted to other things linked to money.


    For example, job opportunities. Buying a piece ofnd meant providing a minimum number of job positions to the city hall based on thend''s designated use.


    Or, after buying thend, there might be strict economic value standards, such as the annual output value.


    Especially for industrialnd, not only did it require numerous job positions, but it also had to meet the possibly unreasonable annual output value requirements set by the city hall. Otherwise, the city hall wouldn''t approve thend transaction.


    Lin Qi obviously didn''t have such qualifications. Regardless of how much money it would take to buy eight acres ofnd, just ording to the standard of providing at least twenty to thirty job positions per acre, eight acres would mean hundreds of job positions. Lin Qi couldn''t provide that yet, although he had ns.Having ns didn''t mean they could be realized. If boasting could achieve things, the whole federation would have been in chaos long ago. Moreover, the evaluation from the federal government was much stricter than that of banks. Lin Qi basically couldn''t and didn''t have the qualifications to buynd, even if he had enough money to do so.


    Joegleman couldn''t figure it out and could only shake his head. "Sorry, I haven''t been paying attention to this recently. Did I miss something?"


    Lin Qi didn''t seem to mind. He exined briefly, "I acquired ownership of Sabin City''s professional rugby club. Now that piece ofnd is mine, and I n to sell it."


    With this exnation, Joegleman finally understood. He immediately took out a map from the drawer and located the club''snd.


    It must be said that although thend might not be in the city center, it wasn''t too remote either. It was a good location. Based on current prices, the value of thisnd was roughly around two million. It should attract some interest.


    He nodded, indicating he understood Lin Qi''s meaning, and continued to look at Lin Qi. Thetter went on, "Ick some local upper-ss resources, but I believe you can help me with that."


    "Have there been any generous buyers interested in suchnd recently?" Lin Qi couldn''t help but smile. Every time he smiled, it gave people a sense of closeness. "You''ve said it yourself, we''re friends. If you help me out, I''ll dly reciprocate. After all, we''re friends."


    "I''ll try to help you find a buyer as a friend , not for any other reason," Joegleman avoided thetter half of Lin Qi''s statement, even though it was the main driving force behind his decision to help Lin Qi.


    Even if it was just one percent, it meant twenty thousand in ie. He wouldn''t mind such legitimate ie, and if he could raise the price higher, the benefits he could reap would be even greater.


    As the manager of the loan department of GoldenExchange Bank, one of the six major banks in Sabin City, he might not know the prominent figures of the underworld, but he knew wealthy individuals very well.


    Lin Qi stood up, extended his hand, and shook hands with Joegleman. "I''ll be waiting for your good news."


    Joegleman assured him that he would find suitable buyers as soon as possible and personally escorted Lin Qi out.


    Watching Lin Qi''s car disappear outside the bank''s office building, Joegleman shook his head with a smile and returned to his office.


    He had seen many young people, but he had never seen a young person as enterprising as Lin Qi. Compared to other young people who were still indulging in leisure activities, wasting time, he had already begun to handle ns involving millions of bucks.


    Sometimes,paring oneself with others would only lead to disappointment.


    After thinking about these matters for a while, Joegleman sighed. Just now, he had even entertained the idea of having his son learn from Lin Qi, but he quickly gave up.


    If that little rascal dove into this circle, the greater possibility would be him being taken advantage of or exploited, or even ending up doing the dirty work for others, rather than bing a legend like Lin Qi in people''s eyes.


    Compared to all this, leaving some assets for children and family would be more suitable for people like them, ordinary and unproductive.


    With this in mind, Joegleman began to contact those "good friends," promoting thend in Lin Qi''s hands.


    News of Lin Qi wanting to sell thend also reached the mayor''s ears at the earliest opportunity. The mayor, who was in a meeting, shook his head to the aides apanying him, indicating it didn''t need to be addressed.


    In fact, when he instructed to sell the Sabin City professional rugby club to Lin Qi for "one buck," he had already anticipated Lin Qi would sell thend. Especially when Lin Qi expressed his desire to rebuild a brand-new club, this spection had be reality.


    At the same time, this was tacit approval from the mayor. Thend itself waspensation for Lin Qi. On the surface, it seemed like Lin Qi had made a huge profit, acquiring a club and and worth two million for one buck, but in reality, he might not have.


    Investing in sports was costly. Even for an ordinary club, the annual expenditure would exceed half a million. The two million pensation" could only sustain the club to operate at the minimum expenditure standard for four years.


    After four years, if Lin Qi couldn''t start making a profit, he would have to invest more money.


    Whatever amount of money he took from the club, he would have to pay back doubleter—unless the city hall and the sports council approved, nobody would dare to take over the club, risking offending the local authorities and the biggest patron of the sports industry simultaneously.


    Even if Lin Qi applied for bankruptcy, the local court wouldn''t ept it until he was squeezed dry of every penny.


    Of course, this was the worst-case scenario. For example, under the premise that Lin Qi made a fortune and fled, if he managed the business well, the city hall and the Athletes'' Association wouldn''t watch him drive the club to bankruptcy, which didn''t align with everyone''s interests.


    With such countermeasures in ce, this was why the mayor didn''t care about Lin Qi wanting to sell thend. He couldn''t escape!


    This was a rtively secretive small-scale meeting. The participants were core members of the Progressive Party in the state, including some social elites, capitalists, and of course, politicians like the mayor.


    They were all discussing the same thing - dividing the spoils.


    These spoils came from EverBright Group, a multinational conglomerate. Before it showed signs of withdrawing funds from the Baylor Federation, both the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party found it beneficial to have this conglomerate in the federation.


    After all, EverBright Group provided a considerable number of job positions and paid sufficient taxes to the federal government every year. However, EverBright Group''s top management now wanted to withdraw funds and leave the federation to engage in reconstruction work in some post-war countries.


    While the short-term profits from rebuilding a post-war country might not be as stable or as high as running stable businesses in a developed country, the political and financial benefits of post-war reconstruction far outweighed ordinary business. Moreover, as these countries rebuilt and stabilized, businessmen aiding in this reconstruction not only gained high political status but also gradually saw economic returns exceeding expectations from their investments.


    This process might be lengthy, possibly taking decades or even half a century, but the returns it brought were undeniable.


    Therefore, EverBright Group had to fall. Its n to use the money earned in the federation, belonging to the people of the federation, to develop other countries vited certain people''s interests and crossed everyone''s bottom line.


    During this sensitive period, not only were the top management personnel obligated to remain within the federation, but their funds were also mandated to stay within its borders, leaving them no opportunity to withdraw the federation''s money.


    After some meticulous operations, EverBright Group was investigated for tax evasion. Now, it had almost lost all resistance. Its board of directors had exhausted all their connections, but to no avail.


    Even the top echelons of the Conservative Party had notmented on the actions of the Progressive Party in this matter. Instead, the Minister of Justice had statedst month that even multinational corporations involving foreign funds and influences must abide by thews of the Baylor Federation.


    The next step was to divide the profits. After the copse of a conglomerate worth tens of billions, its corpse could cultivate more than tenpanies worth tens of millions, but how to divide them, and who would be these lucky ones, required a process.


    The entire matter was manipted by the Progressive Party behind the scenes, so the distribution also required everyone''s discussion.


    As the ruler of the fourthrgest city in the state, the mayor obviously had the qualifications to participate in this cake-sharing, as well as a certain referee qualification.


    Everyone was advocating for their interests, discussing their future development directions and ns, as well as what kind of returns they could provide to the city. But all of this had one premise - letting them consume everything EverBright Group had locally.


    These gentlemen, who usually appeared exceptionally polite, were now quarreling like market women fighting over fifty cents on the streets. They even began to attack each other with insinuations.


    Seeing them quarrel endlessly, the mayor, feeling somewhat weary, knocked on the table. The room fell silent, and everyone''s gaze turned to the mayor.Please vote for this novel at /series/ckstone-code/There are advance chapters avable nowess will be granted 24 hours after the donationTier 1: 7 Advance chapters Link
