They came up with such a huge project that no one else could find an excuse to refute it.

It has a political stance, and it has national development goals.

Anyone who dares to oppose this is probably going to lose their job back home. They'll be taken to Kyoto and subjected to multiple background checks.

After a brief moment of thought, the three realized there was potential in the matter, so they didn't ask any further questions. Instead, they focused their attention on Lin Yifeng and had a detailed conversation with him.

Lin Yifeng then gave out the general plan.

From establishing various campuses to a complete business system, even the welfare of faculty and staff has been planned, including arranging housing for them.

The most important of these is a complete medical and security system.

It can be said that Lin Yifeng mentioned everything he could notice.

Yan Bingshan frowned, a cigarette between his fingers. The plan seemed incredibly complicated to him.

On the contrary, Li Baoshan and Wang Qingguo listened with great interest. They not only felt that the plan was promising, but they were even sure that it would succeed.

Lin Yifeng's solution was so perfect that there was absolutely no flaw in it.

If this is the case, the Pingyuan New Area can be considered a new city, or even a new economic hub in Zhongzhou Province.

Yan Bingshan took a drag of his cigarette and also complained from the side.

"You little rascal."

"This is to prepare for the establishment of a city."

"It is still a key city under the jurisdiction of the province."

"If the mayor knew he had someone like you under his command, he'd be furious."

Lin Yifeng chuckled, scratched his head, and tried to evade the question.

"Didn't I mention the university town? The university town, right?"

"Isn't there a university here, and a city too?"

Yan Bingshan didn't care much about Lin Yifeng's explanation; instead, he asked curiously.

"Tell me, when did you plan this?"

"We didn't plan to do it this way from the beginning."

"Was everything before just a hoax to fool us three old men?"

These words made Lin Yifeng hesitate for a moment.

It was this moment of hesitation that made Yan Bingshan immediately shout to Li Baoshan beside him.

"Old Li, I'm so sorry about this!"

"Look at this kid!"

"How cunning!"

"How could I have believed Ye Wuzheng and gotten to know you!"

Li Baoshan squinted at Yan Bingshan's scathing remarks and looked at Lin Yifeng with an appreciative gaze.

"Alright."

"She got the benefit but is still acting innocent."

Lin Yifeng, standing to the side, also offered his explanation.

"Actually, I didn't plan to do it this way from the beginning."

"I'm thinking of giving it another try once the university town has developed a bit more."

"Isn't this an emergency?"

Yan Bingshan and the other two had already figured it out; they guessed that the problem was with Ye Wuzheng and Ma Ning's group, but Lin Yifeng had helped resolve it.

However, Ye Wuzheng and Ma Ning were also their subordinates to some extent, so Lin Yifeng's matter was not just a matter of them owing Lin Yifeng a favor.

Because of this plan, the three of them owed Lin Yifeng a considerable favor.

After the three of them briefly discussed when to go to the central government together, they brought the topic back to the university town.

Yan Bingshan sized up Lin Yifeng in front of him.

"Xiaolin, do you want to participate in this plan?"

"I suspect it's not that simple."

"You should be in charge. Although the central government is funding this project, you should still contribute something."

"You need to prepare in advance when you go back. If all else fails, this plan can be implemented next year."

"The three of us can stay here and hold it down for you."

Li Baoshan and Wang Qingguo both nodded in agreement.

All the benefits of this matter fell on the three of them, while the rest went to the various schools. It wouldn't be easy for Lin Yifeng to get a share of the benefits.

Most importantly, this grand plan is no simple matter.

In projects like this, which are led by the central government, the central government usually takes the lion's share. If Lin Yifeng wants to participate, he will definitely have to invest a corresponding amount.

Even large domestic enterprises have to carefully consider whether they have enough funds before participating in this program.

Yan Bingshan was also a little worried that Lin Yifeng's involvement in this project might drain his family's savings, ultimately causing problems in the company's operations.

Similar situations have occurred in China before, most notably in the real estate sector; otherwise, the government wouldn't have been monitoring it so closely in the past two years.

Lin Yifeng, however, showed no hesitation and gave a number that left the three speechless.

"I plan to initially invest 50 million yuan to build the university town."

"How many?"

Wang Qingguo stared wide-eyed at Lin Yifeng.

Li Baoshan and Yan Bingshan were also somewhat shocked.

Not to mention the two of them, Ma Ning and Ye Wu, who were sitting next to them, also gasped in shock.

They knew Lin Yifeng was planning to invest a large sum of money this time, but they didn't expect it to be this much.

Lin Yifeng smiled at the three of them.

"Fifty million is just the initial investment."

"If the subsequent construction is successful, I may invest even more."

"My initial estimate is that if it gets built, I might have to invest more than double that amount."

Yan Bingshan and the other two were stunned again, and the room fell into dead silence once more.

Seeing that Lin Yifeng was about to speak, Yan Bingshan hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Wait a minute."
