Lu Xun took a sip of tea, and a deep furrow appeared between his brows.

"It's easier said than done."

The Spanish government isn't stupid. The Basques are clearly shrewd; since they can ask for a price of one hundred million, they certainly won't agree.

Hearing Song Mai's words, everyone was at a loss.

It's easy to be quick-witted, but actually putting it into practice is harder than climbing to heaven.

They don't even know how to take the first step.

The young girl looked at Song Mai, swallowed hard, and asked:

"Sister Song Mai, do you have any ideas?"

Song Mai did have an idea, but she was afraid that her method would not work and would waste everyone's time and energy. Without being sure, she hesitated to speak up.

Just as she was about to shake her head, Ji Fenghe suddenly spoke up beside her, his voice soft.

"If you have an idea, why not share it? Only by sharing it and discussing it together can we know if the method is feasible. If you keep it to yourself, you'll never know if your idea is right or wrong."

Lu Xun also encouraged, "Speak up. It's always better to have a solution than no solution. Let everyone hear it. Even if it's not necessarily a good solution, it can still give everyone some inspiration."

Encouraged by the two, Song Mai took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"Is it possible for us to bypass the local government and start directly with the people? We can buy land from the Western government. The Western government will simply delineate the land area after reaching an agreement with us, and then negotiate with the people in the area to expropriate the land, expropriate the people's land and give them the corresponding compensation. Now that the Western government is asking for 100 million and does not agree to the price we offer, what if we talk directly with the people in the area where we are buying the land?"

"Give them a relatively high price, and I believe they will agree. I believe that without the Western government taking a cut, if all 70 million is used as compensation for the land expropriation to give to the local people, they will be very wealthy, and most likely won't even be able to spend it all. As long as the people sell their land directly to Yunxing Group, the final result will be the same as buying land from the Western government, and there will be no need to go through the local government."

Upon hearing Song Mai's words, the young man from the marketing department slapped his thigh in excitement.

"That's right! You're absolutely right. Why should we let the middleman make a profit?"

Others chimed in, "That is indeed a good idea."

Compared to the happiness of the others, Lu Xun and Ji Feng seemed much more indifferent, with a hint of worry on Lu Xun's face.

“It’s a possible solution, and it’s not entirely impossible to implement. However, we won’t be staying in the Western Kingdom for very long this time. If we were to discuss this matter directly with the people, going door to door would take who knows how long. The time and manpower costs are also costs.”

Song Mai had also thought of this, but what other method could there be at the moment?

Just as everyone was hesitating, Ji Fenghe stood up and patted Lu Xun on the shoulder.

"Let's discuss it with him first. After all, we need to let him know about this before we can proceed."

Moreover, he probably wouldn't agree to this method.

Lu Xun nodded and looked at everyone, saying, "Alright, that's all for today. I'll let you know if there's any more news. Go back and rest now."

At the same time, just as Chu Xing finished his meeting, his assistant Lu received a call from Lu Xun.

"Assistant Lu, has Master Yun's meeting ended? I have something important to discuss with him."

"Hold on."

Assistant Lu knocked on the office door, and the man was sitting behind his desk looking at the reports submitted by various departments during the meeting.

"Lu Xun said he has something important to tell you, probably because there's been a new development regarding the land purchase over there."

"Um."

The man took the phone, his voice low and deep.

"What's up?"

Upon hearing Chu Xing's voice, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had finally found his pillar of support. He was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.

"Master Yun, the Western government..."

"Yes, I already know."

Seeing that Chu Xing already knew the general situation, Lu Xun explained in detail the solution proposed by Song Mai, and then carefully added a sentence.

"So, do you think... this method will work?"

"Who came up with this idea?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun subconsciously thought that this idea had displeased Chu Xing, and quickly said, "Is there something wrong with it? This was an idea suggested by a new girl in the translation department. She has only been with the group for a short time and is still not very familiar with various aspects. Please don't take it to heart if there is anything wrong with it."

"Songmai?"

Upon hearing that Chu Xing actually knew this name, Lu Xun was so surprised that he was almost speechless.

"You actually know her?"

"Yes, I heard it mentioned by the HR department."

The man spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun nodded, thinking to himself that the HR department had probably reported to Chu Xing when they were recruiting, so it wasn't surprising that Chu Xing knew her name.

"The idea is good. Other companies might be able to try this method, but Yunxing doesn't need to go through all that trouble."

"So you mean..."

"Book a flight for tomorrow night, then we can come back."

"Huh? But..."

"There's enough time."

"yes."

Lu Xun didn't know what Chu Xing was planning or what he intended to do next, but since he had asked him to book the tickets, he would just do as he was told.

Anyway, Master Yun's decisions are always correct.

There's no problem that can't be solved as long as Master Yun takes action.

With that in mind, Lu Xun booked tickets for the group of people for 10 p.m. the next night with a sense of security.

That evening, Yunxing Group officially announced that due to the Western capital government's exploitation of Yunxing Group and its disregard for trade rules, Yunxing Group would cease supplying all products to the Western country. Existing products would be removed from shelves, all existing officially authorized stores would be completely shut down, all technological advancements would be completely blocked from the Western country, and all branch offices would be relocated to neighboring countries.

The news shocked the world, and everyone was speculating what the Western Kingdom had done to offend Yunxing, that would make Yunxing risk inflicting heavy losses on both sides.

Given the news that the Western government deliberately released information about demanding 100 million from Yunxing, and Yunxing's claim of being used, it's inevitable that some people will speculate on the underlying reasons.

The outside world is criticizing the Spanish government for its lack of integrity. They say that if things continue like this, who would dare to do business with them? It's outrageous that a government with no credibility would scheme against a company like this.

Some even said it's no wonder Yunxing is so angry; the Western Kingdom is in big trouble now.

However, there were inevitably some differing opinions among the complaints. Some people felt that no matter how powerful Yunxing was, it was still just a company, while Xiguo was a country. They argued that it would only damage its own strength by standing on the opposite side of a company and a country and making such a big fuss.
