Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 319: You have more money than me? You are so rebellious!
Time passed unknowingly, and several years had passed since the Uchiha family married Liu Mang.

This year is the end of Konoha's 33rd year, and it is the year when the development plan for Konoha's twelve districts ends.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the vast majority of Konoha people, the development plan for the post-Twelve Districts was completed as planned, and the five-year development project came to an end today.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the podium, looking high-spirited and counting the achievements of these years.

"After more than eight years of continuous construction, an investment of more than one trillion ryo, and your hard work day and night, the 8th phase of the Konohagakure 12th District project has been successfully completed."

"Today, we have completed the blueprint for Konoha that the Second Hokage set when he first built the village. Today, the number of Konoha residents has officially crossed the 100 million mark!"

"Konoha's economy has maintained an annual growth rate of more than 8% for the past eight years, and this year it has reached a historic 50%!"

"The per capita income of Konoha has increased sixfold compared to eight years ago, and the lowest income has increased 6 times compared to eight years ago. Everyone in Konoha lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone lives a prosperous life!"

"All of this is inseparable from your hard work. I am proud of you! I am proud of you!"

Sarutobi's speech received unanimous applause from the audience. Their faces were filled with enthusiasm and pride, and they were proud that they could contribute to Konoha.

This is cohesion, Konoha’s cohesion!
I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will become the greatest Hokage in the history of Konoha!
But in Konoha where everyone was celebrating, there was still a place where people felt particularly unhappy.

Of course it’s the Hyuga family.

boom!
"Bastard, bastard, bastard!" The second Hyuga elder was so angry that he kept slamming the table. If this was not a conference table built by Liu Mang using Wood Release, it would have been smashed to pieces with just one slap.

Liu Mang said speechlessly: "It's really that serious, isn't it just that there are fewer people, it will eventually rise."

The second elder was very troubled. This was a loss of money!
After the completion of the 12th phase of development work in Konoha, Hinata was surprised to find that the occupancy rate in the 10% area they were responsible for was significantly lower than in other places, which simply didn't make sense.

You should know that the Hyuga were the first to transform into construction and have the strongest construction capabilities in the ninja world. The places they are responsible for developing and constructing are superior to other ninja clans in terms of quality and specifications.

With the prices being basically the same, there's no reason why the number of guests wouldn't be as high as that of the unpopular Uchiha.

It's obviously the Hokage Building's fault!

You don't need to think about it to know the reason. The Hokage Building is afraid that the Hinata will continue to grow bigger and is giving them a hard time.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a human being. We were the first family to support him in building Konoha. Five years ago, he was fully grown and kicked us away and only gave us a 5% share. I was not that angry. However, I never expected that he would tamper with the introduction of residents. Isn't this clearly a trick to rip us off!"

The Second Elder started banging the table again, obviously extremely angry.

"Alright, alright. Hyuga is no longer a real estate developer who relies on selling houses for a living. That little bit of money is not worth it. Hundreds of billions are just a drop in the bucket for me. I have never thought of making money from that." Liu Mang comforted the second elder.

The second elder sighed, "Master, I know that's nothing. After all, although there are few people, there are still some people. It's for some capital. I'm just angry at Sarutobi Hiruzen's unfair attitude. He did this, obviously not taking you seriously!"

Liu Mang didn't care: "That's enough. You have to look at the problem from a holistic perspective. When I set the development plan for Konoha, I didn't think about making money from it. The key is to drive Konoha's economic development and increase income from other industries. Real estate as a pillar industry is not safe, and this wave is also a reminder to you."

"Besides, this may not be a bad thing." A sneer flashed across Liu Mang's face.

The great elder Hyuga Muneki opened his old eyes and finally couldn't help but speak: "What do you mean?"

Others also looked at Liu Mang.

Liu Mang raised his finger and pointed at the map condensed in the void.

A new set of data was input by Liu Mang and displayed above.

This is a chakra projection device, which is a chakra technology achievement developed by Liu Mang by combining a projector and chakra. It directly realizes virtual imaging and motion interaction functions, and is now used in the conference room to show off.

Everyone looked at the data on the projection with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"What does 1200 square meters of housing area per capita mean?" The eldest elder was old but studious, and would ask whenever he did not understand.

Liu Mang rolled his eyes, but still explained: "What it means is that the average housing area per person in our territory is 1200 square meters."

The Great Elder was speechless. Do you think I don’t even understand this?
"I'm asking, what is the use of this thing?"

Liu Mang didn't answer at first, but typed another set of data onto the screen.

This time it is “per capita housing area is 28 square meters.”

The Great Elder and others thought for a while and felt that they had grasped the key point.

At this time, Liu Mang explained: "Because they avoided our place, Konoha did not stop the pace of introducing residents, which resulted in a 10% reduction in living areas, making other places seem more crowded."

"But because we have too few guests, the per capita area is too large, which makes it deserted and sparse."

“It’s damaging to both parties.”

"However, if there are fewer people, we can add more people, but if there are too many people, we can't drive them away. It's not a bad thing to leave so much space for us to arrange ourselves." Everyone suddenly realized. Yes, they were not short of the money from selling the house, and now they had so many properties in their hands, there were many things they could do.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to suppress us, so why can't we do the opposite and suppress him back?

As expected, Liu Mang immediately ordered: "Listen carefully, from now on, we will give one set of real estate to each of our clansmen and our own people, and protect our own interests first."

"Next, we will sell our remaining properties to the entire Fire Country at half price, and drive down the housing prices in other parts of Konoha. If we don't make any money, they won't make much either!"

"Yoshiwara, I'll leave this matter to you. You can make the specific decisions yourself. I only need two results. One is to bring down the housing prices that have increased several times, and the other is to increase the attractiveness of our company and attract more ninjas. Qianshui, please cooperate with us." At the front of the conference room, Yoshiwara Kurokasa, one of the five generals under Liu Mang, and Hinata Qianshui stood up to receive the order.

Tianmang Group, the huge business empire built by Liu Mang, is now not only famous in Konoha, but also cannot be underestimated in the entire ninja world.

Liu Mang currently has more than 3 "employees" in the entire ninja world, all of whom are absolute his own people with external plug-ins to guarantee their loyalty. Among them are employees of the Tianmang Group, members of the Hyuga family, researchers in scientific research institutions, and some officials and nobles.

These four parts are respectively in charge of the four great admirals: Yoshiwara Kurokasa, Hyuga Chisui, the Third Raikage Ai, and the Fire Country Daimyo Kanhara Chimori. As for the fifth admiral, Hagoromo, he is naturally in charge of the Pure Land, and does not do worldly work.

Since a year ago, Liu Mang has truly taken over the Hyuga family and become the real head of the family. All the members of the Hyuga family were immediately identified as de facto employees by the external plug-in and were directly brought under the control of the company.

If it were Liu Mang a few years ago, he would really worry about whether he could pay the wages of the more than a thousand people in the Hyuga family. But Liu Mang, who had just established his business empire, had nothing to worry about, as the wages were not that high.

If there are more than 30,000 people and each person owns one house, that would mean more than 30,000 houses, directly accounting for half of Hyuga's real estate.

But Liu Mang was willing to give them out. What was a mere house? If he didn't have so many, he would even be willing to give one to every person in Konoha.

In his previous life, he was fed up with working all his life just to own a house and a car. Although he has become a capitalist in this life, since the system does not allow him to be black-hearted, he only has a conscience.

It's just a small amount of money anyway, and giving it for free won't affect him, so why not do it?

The system's talent does ensure that as long as the salary is in place, the employees will be absolutely loyal.

But besides being absolutely loyal, he is also a living person with flesh and blood and his own life.

And precisely because of this loyalty, Liu Mang felt embarrassed to exploit them. If he did not give them high treatment, Liu Mang himself would feel that he was not a human being.

Although strictly speaking he is not really a human being.

Almost immediately after the Hokage finished his speech, everyone in Konoha already had a third-generation mobile phone and received an advertisement from Hyuga.

"The Hyuga family is clearing out their properties and selling them at half the market price. 3 units are on a first come, first served basis until they are sold out."

Upon receiving the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen glared and roared, "Hyuga Hizashi!"

All the ninja clans that received the news had basically the same attitude, and they all cursed Hyuga Hizashi for being inhuman.

It would be fine if you don't make any money yourself, but you are also destroying everyone's jobs. If you sell these 3 houses at half price, the Konoha market will be directly saturated. What do you want us to do?
No, we have to lower the price too. We can’t let Hinata sell all the 30,000 houses in one go.

As long as we lower the price together, home buyers will definitely wait for the price to drop further. As long as we hold on and prevent the capital from flowing back to Japan, we will win if we can get through it!

Today is truly a happy day for Konoha Village. Not only has the development and construction been completed, but housing prices have also dropped, and by half, which is truly good news for those who do not own a house.

As some people expected, if everyone bought at half price, Hinata would not be able to sell all the houses immediately. Everyone was waiting for the price to go down further, and those who bought first are now regretting it.

When Yoshiwara Kurokasa saw that other ninja clans followed suit and lowered their prices, he also cut the price in half without any concern and continued to sell.

Even if they don't make a penny, Yoshiwara Kurokasa can accept it. The ninja clans want to engage in a price war with their Tianmang Group, but they are probably not awake yet.

The ninjas had no idea that the Tianmang Group, a giant enterprise that has emerged in recent years and dominated the innovations in energy, information, materials, medical care, and transportation, was also an industry of the Hyuga family. When they saw the Hyuga family lowering the price again, their eyes almost popped out.

This is not right. They think that the Hyuga family is selling the property at half price in order to repatriate funds and stop making money from it. Now they are willing to do it even at a loss. Why is that?
At this price, you won’t get much money back even if you sell 3 houses. Why is that?

Could it be that he is angry that the Hokage Building is cheating people and wants to smash everyone's plates?

Then they shook their heads to deny this speculation. They were all adults and Hinata was not an Uchiha, so there was no reason for him to have a childish temper.

So, is it specifically to drive down housing prices? Out of social responsibility?
Thinking that Hinata could obviously crush those who insisted on being reasonable, they all decided on this idea, and they have a conscience.

That’s right, it’s social responsibility!
Our wanton increase in house prices angered the Hyuga family, and they would rather lose money than not bring down the house prices.

Thinking of this, they were helpless. Why do you, a ninja, have such a conscience? You have been oppressing ordinary people for so many years, and now you suddenly have a conscience? What have you been doing before?

Faced with Hyuga's price reduction, other ninja clans simply did not have the ability to continue to lower prices. The money earned from five years of development was not enough to sell the houses at a loss.

All I could do was stand at attention and take the beating.
