"Reporting to the boss, my name is Yang Wei," the burly man replied.

“Yang Wei… good… very good,” Chen Ling nodded and said.

"Thank you for the compliment, boss, although I think so too," Yang Wei replied earnestly.

"Very confident, I like that, but not just anyone can be my bodyguard. Come with me, let me see what you're capable of."

Chen Ling decided to give this group of self-important Penang kings a taste of their own medicine.

Arriving at the gym in the penthouse, Chen Ling began to challenge the group of betel nut kings to one-on-one matches.

Twenty minutes later, a group of betel nut kings lay on the ground, looking at Chen Ling as if he were a monster.

Chen Ling was completely immune to such gazes and left happily whistling.

Chapter 77 Fantasy Architecture

In the end, Chen Ling found a room in the Qinglong Building, set up a treatment room, and gave them a +35 hair growth attribute, which helped them grow their hair back.

As a result, after their hair grew back, they called on their friends and comrades who had trained with them at the Jinling Special Training Center.

Upon learning this news, Chen Ling knew he had been tricked.

It's probably because the big shot was too embarrassed to tell me directly, so they resorted to this tactic.

It's all a trick!

For the next two days, Chen Ling stayed at the company and didn't go anywhere else.

There was nothing for him to do, so he quietly stayed at home and lived a carefree life.

Before he could even rest for two days, a group of academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to visit him.

Wu Ze, as the liaison officer, also came along.

"What do you mean? You're saying these academicians will also participate in the design and planning of the new city?" Chen Ling looked at Wu Ze with a bewildered expression.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, they all came voluntarily, wanting to help you design the new city even more perfectly," Wu Ze said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm not building the new city. Go back to where you came from." Chen Ling was very unhappy.

Damn it, what do they take me for? One batch comes in tomorrow, another batch tomorrow, what are they trying to do?

"Mr. Chen, please don't be angry. Your application for new facilities has been approved, and two high-speed rail lines and an airport will be arranged for the new city," Wu Ze said immediately.

"That's it? Where's the money? How much funding was allocated for the city's construction? How will it be managed after completion? Will the schools be public or private? How many teachers and university professors have been assigned to me?"

Chen Ling rolled his eyes and asked a series of questions.

"Ahem... Mr. Chen, there are two options. The first option is to allocate funds to the pot rack, but the new city cannot be built according to the blueprints. After all, a city does not need so many government agencies."

The second option is that Guojia provides the land, Mr. Chen is responsible for the construction of the new city, and Guojia is responsible for its management after completion. However, all industries within the new city will be operated by Mr. Chen's company, enjoying a 70-year property right, a five-year tax exemption, and a ten-year half-tax benefit.

"It's fine to hand over the school to Guojia, or Mr. Chen can run the school himself. Guojia will approve the school's operating license for Mr. Chen. But if Mr. Chen runs the school himself, he will need to recruit the teachers himself," Wu Ze explained.

After hearing this, Chen Ling's lips twitched, and he forcibly suppressed a laugh.

It was obvious to those above that he would choose the second option, which is why Wu Ze explained it so clearly.

Modifying the design of the Mo Family's mechanical city is definitely not an option; he might as well not build the city at all.

The second option, well, on the surface, seems to be the one where Guojia benefits, because it only gave up a piece of useless wasteland and got a new city in return.

This deal was incredibly profitable; even "profitable" doesn't fully describe it.

As for the preferential policies such as all cities being managed by Chenling, with 70-year property rights, five years of tax exemption, and ten years of half-tax, these are entirely based on the condition that the new cities are built.

In other words, these preferential decisions are essentially worthless.

From this perspective, Chen Ling has lost out.

However, some things cannot be calculated in this way, even though the cost of building the Mo Family Mechanical City was as high as 12000 trillion.

But think about it, how much tax revenue does a city generate in a year?

If you were given all the business in a city, how much money could you make?

These are not the most important things. The most important thing is that after the Mo family's institutions are completed, the tourism revenue alone will be enough for Chen Ling to earn back the money spent on building the city.

Not to mention the school's income and the real money-making projects, such as the mechanical manufacturing plant business.

The Mo Family Mechanical City is an epic mechanical building, and its bonuses to mechanical types are absolutely off the charts.

When the time comes, we'll set up two heavy industry factories within the Mo Family's mechanical city. The products they manufacture will be absolutely unbeatable.

By this calculation, Chen Ling is definitely not at a loss, since his original intention was to build a city.

"Forget it, why build a city? I'd rather just be a lazy bum."

Chen Ling waved his hand, as if he had lost interest in building a new city.

Just kidding. Even if he wanted to build a new city, he doesn't have the money right now. He might as well delay it for a while and try to get more preferential treatment. Who would complain about having more preferential treatment?

“Mr. Chen, we can talk. You can tell me what your requirements are,” Wu Ze said with a smile.

"No need. Those academicians can modify the blueprints of the Mechanized City however they want. I have the original blueprints anyway. If you've made the changes and really want to build the city according to those blueprints, remember to pay me the copyright fee. I won't worry about the rest," Chen Ling said, shaking his head.

What's the point of talking about this? You can't talk about this kind of thing; if you do, you'll be at a disadvantage.

Don't think that the Guojia Think Tank is just sitting around doing nothing. As soon as you make a condition, they can analyze your bottom line. So Chen Ling made up his mind not to talk.

Wu Ze tried to talk to Chen Ling for a long time, but Chen Ling ignored him.

Left with no other option, Wu Ze had to leave.

As for those academicians, Chen Ling wasn't unfriendly towards them, but he couldn't be too enthusiastic about it right now.

So, he treated the academicians to a meal as a junior and said that they could change the design of the Mo Family Mechanical City at will, but the mechanisms themselves could not be altered.

Without mechanisms, how could it be called a city of mechanisms?

After seeing the group off, Chen Ling resumed his life of leisure.

The company is still developing steadily, and the construction of the Lishan New Area project is proceeding normally, with everything going according to plan.

Two months passed quickly.

During this period, Chen Ling manipulated several more World Cup qualifiers, earning over 50 billion yuan.

It also helped Guo Qing's team secure a ticket to the World Cup, and gave all the betting companies the illusion that the Huali Xiadu Guojia team was very lucky and had poor skills.

That way, when the World Cup starts, the odds will make Chen Ling laugh so hard he won't be able to sleep.

On this day, Chen Ling was playing a game when Li Lili came to his office.

"what's up?"

Chen Ling saw Li Lili and asked curiously.

In most cases, Li Lili wouldn't bother him while he was playing games.

"That big shot from Google sent an email asking our company to help him build a manor," Li Lili said, holding up a document.

"Peppa Pig... wait, what Peppa was it again?"

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, forgetting the name of that big shot.

"Rally Page".

Li Lili said speechlessly, "Being able to call out Peppa Pig, haven't you revealed something?"

"Yes, yes, yes... it's him. How did he find us? Doesn't he know our company doesn't take private business?" Chen Ling asked in confusion.

"Because the manor he commissioned was designed by someone other than our company, no one else could build it."

"What does that have to do with me? How much money can you make building a manor? It's not worth it, I'm not taking the job."

"Aren't you going to look at the design drawings?"

"Is the design drawing particularly outstanding?"

“Quite outstanding.”

As a designer, Chen Ling is quite interested in design drawings.

Soon, Li Lili opened her email and saw the design drawings sent by Lali.

"Hmm...this is something."

After reviewing the overall 3D effect of the design drawings, Chen Ling said with some surprise.

"What is the name of this manor?" Chen Ling asked.

“Embrace the stars,” Li Lili replied.

"He even says he's embracing the stars. Why doesn't he just say my journey is to the stars and the sea?" Chen Ling pouted.

“Embracing the Stars is a kind of magic circle in the West, which is said to be able to summon the power of the stars. This manor was designed according to this legend, and it looks like a giant magic circle,” Li Lili explained.

Chen Ling nodded. At this moment, as he looked at the design drawing, he had some ideas in his mind.

Western magic circle?

Fantasy architecture?

I wonder what attribute it is?

It seems like we could give it a try.

“Tell Peppa Pig that our Super God Company has taken on this project,” Chen Ling said.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fantasy Epic Architecture

After Chen Ling took on the project, Rally Page cooperated very well.

He directly sent the design team of Starry Manor to Huali Xiadu to find him and discuss construction issues.

Lali Page was very clever; he never mentioned sending Chen Ling to the Secret Fruit.

Even if he brought it up, Chen Ling wouldn't go.

Just kidding, only someone with a screw loose would go to the Secret Fruit.

Three days later, the design team of Qunxing Manor arrived in Jinling, and Chen Ling arranged for them to stay in Qinglong Building.
