Su Taoduo glanced at District Chief Xie twice and asked directly:
"Chief Xie, is there anything I can help you with?"
We are all adults now. Su Tao doesn't believe that District Chief Xie did these things without any ulterior motives.
District Chief Xie laughed twice, his tone tinged with envy:
"I saw photos of the Taoyang office building on the official Taoyang website. After seeing them, I felt that my role as district mayor was meaningless. Our district government building has fallen into disrepair after years of neglect. Not only has the wall paint peeled off, but you can even see a few cracks here and there. Those of us sitting inside are terrified."
Su Tao smiled and asked, "How does District Chief Xie plan to rebuild the government office building in West District 3?"
District Chief Xie beamed with joy: "Our West Third District has a small population, so there aren't many matters to handle. Including myself and a few other department heads and clerks, there are only 26 of us. A two-story building will do."
Su Tao, who was rich and powerful, agreed immediately.
A two-story building costs about 100,000 federal coins, which is really a drop in the bucket for her current total assets worth over 100 million.
District Chief Xie immediately climbed up the pole and took out a project drawing: "It's ready. Please trouble Boss Su."
Su Tao took a look and saw that he came prepared!
District Chief Xie is also a smart man. I guess when he was planning how to make the Su family miserable, he started to have people draw up blueprints.
Su Tao acquiesced to his behavior, took the drawing and nodded:
"I will arrange it as soon as possible according to the West Third District's inclusion plan."
District Chief Xie was a man with more tricks than a hornet's nest. He immediately understood that Su Tao not only condoned his actions against the Su family, but also had a hint of gratitude towards him.
Tsk, I wonder if Su Jianming is crazy. How many heartbreaking things must he have done to make Su Tao hate her biological father so much.
In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
He planned to find an excuse and not give Su Jianming a penny of compensation. When they were in Dongyang, with no house and no money, he would naturally ask his stepdaughter for food.
According to his investigation, Su Jianming's stepdaughter, Su Tao's half-sister, is also not an easy person to deal with.
By then, don’t even think about giving Su Jianming a bite to eat, it would be good enough if we didn’t humiliate him.
Su Jianming will definitely not be reconciled and will cling to his stepdaughter like taffy. Every day from now on will definitely be a mess.
Let the dogs bite each other, and they won’t have time to trouble Su Tao.
If Su Tao is in a good mood, maybe she will install another air conditioner in their government office building. Why not?
The first thing Su Tao did when she returned to Taoyang was to go to her office to sort out the plan for the West Third District that she had decided on over the past two days.
The West Third District covers an area of 125,000 square meters. If it is taken over at once, a total of 1,250 crystal cores will be required.
When she heard this number, she almost fainted on the spot.
It is absolutely impossible for Taoyang to earn so many crystal cores in a short period of time by himself.
Fortunately, the old leader promised that all future trade activities in Dongyang and the crystal cores obtained from pioneering operations would be delivered to her as soon as possible.
The plan is to collect 1,250 crystal cores within half a year.
Su Tao felt that it was still too long. It would take half a year to cover a district. Dongyang has a total of six districts. It would take a full three years to incorporate Dongyang into Taoyang's territory.
So, what is the fastest way to get the crystal core?
Now that the crystal core is in place, everything can proceed quickly.
Su Tao wrote two points in the notebook:
First, to strengthen Taoyang business and attract more members to pay for membership
Second, strengthen Taoyang's own army and go on missions to collect crystal cores as soon as possible.
These two points are the most reliable and formal.
In fact, she also thought of selling a few more pieces of land, such as the land developed with 5 crystal cores, and reselling it for 50 or even 500 crystal cores.
Although this method is highly feasible and effective, it has many hidden dangers.
She couldn't guarantee that the next buyer would be as easy to get along with as Xiao Wenyu and have no ill intentions. Otherwise, if they were so close to each other, she might end up raising a tiger that would become a threat one day.
She shook her head to cross that out.
Oh, this is so difficult. Can the zombie just die in front of her so that she can pick up the crystal core?
Su Tao leaned back in her chair and looked up at the sky, thinking, in fact, if Shi Zijin had not gotten into trouble, he could have led the pioneer army to clear out zombies on a large scale and collect crystal cores, which could have reduced a lot of the pressure on collecting crystal cores. Maybe the entire West Third District could have been covered in about two or three months.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
At present, we can only temporarily raise the membership price of Taoyang Business, and only accept long-term cooperation. Membership requires a one-time payment of thirty crystal cores.
Anyway, Taoyang's reputation is gradually spreading and there is no shortage of customers.
The only downside is that there may be widespread criticism attacking Taoyang.
Forget it, just let them curse. If I can sign a long-term customer a day, I can collect 900 crystal cores in a month.
Compared to the crystal core, scolding is nothing. After scolding, you still have to hold your nose and continue to buy supplies from her.
Su Tao called Fang Zhi over and told him about the price increase. Lin Fang Zhi immediately agreed without considering that he, as the person in charge, would be the first to bear the brunt and be scolded first.
Su Tao wanted to give him a shot of prevention, but Lin Fangzhi looked fearless: "I'm just afraid that you will scold me."
I don't care if other people scold me.
Su Tao laughed: "How could I bear to scold you? I feel sorry for you running around so busy that I can't even have time."
Lin Fangzhi left happily. The busier he was, the happier he was. He even had to be busy in front of Taozi, which made her feel very distressed.
After Fang Zhi left, Su Tao counted the crystal cores in his hand, a total of 222.
She took a deep breath, took out 200 crystal cores, turned on the system, entered the map interface, and selected the location in West District 3.
As expected, the system prompts:
[Conditions for obtaining management rights for this land: Consume 1250 Level 1 Crystal Cores]
[200 Level 1 Crystal Cores detected, energy collection in progress. Collection complete, 1050 Level 1 Crystal Cores required to obtain management rights for this land.]
Su Tao looked at the map of the West Third District again. It was still red and unmanageable.
Well, West District 3 is a whole, and 1,250 crystal cores must be consumed at one time to obtain full management rights. Even if 200 is consumed, she will not be allowed to manage 20,000 square meters of land first.
We still have to get the crystal core quickly!
So the next day, customers from all parties woke up to hear bad news - the price of Taoyang’s premium membership had increased!
More than tripled!
Previously, only eight crystal cores were needed, but now the number has increased to thirty!
This price makes many small bases and gathering places prohibitive.
Many people were beating their chests and stamping their feet, wondering why they hadn't joined earlier! Now, it costs three times more crystal cores than before!
When Ling Tianji heard the news, he cursed on the spot:
"Is Taoyang crazy for crystal cores? Thirty! I can accept it if it goes up to 20. But it's more than tripled. What does Taoyang want to do? Collect crystal cores to feed a large number of psychics?"
He paced back and forth, feeling annoyed and anxious.
Zhuo Ercheng was watching the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose. He had advised Ling Tianji to cooperate with Taoyang in a friendly manner as soon as possible and not to think about kicking Dongyang out and replacing him.
Ling Tianji refused to listen and firmly believed that Taoyang's boss was a smart man. If they could join forces, why would he drag Dongyang, a burden, along?
He always thought that by then he would be one with the Taoyang family, so there would be no need to spend eight crystal cores to join the club.
As a result, Taoyang is not only no longer close to Xindu, but even the membership price has been raised equally. Xindu must pay thirty crystal cores to join.
Ling Tianji fought with that person for an hour, and finally went to the finance department with curses to withdraw thirty crystal cores so that Zhuo Ercheng could join the club as soon as possible.
To avoid another price increase after a while.
Right now, Taoyang is the only place that sells supplies, and the quality is excellent. If you don't pay the membership fee, you really have nowhere else to buy them.
Taoyang is such a bastard, damn it.
Luo Yan, who was far away in Qian'an, was staring at Taoyang's official website in a daze.
The interface he stopped at happened to be the material ordering page.
The colorful and diverse food and drink items dazzled him and he was overwhelmed.
There were even several times when he was tempted to spend eight crystal cores to join the club, and then immediately placed an order to buy it back and have a look.
But he held back, worried that this was a scam or a consumer trap.
After he paid the crystal cores and federal coins, the things he got were either short in weight or completely inedible and unusable.
For this purpose, he also specifically contacted many clients or friends in the south to inquire, but they all gave different answers.
Some people are full of praise for Taoyang and are yearning for it.
Some people are dismissive and think it is just a hype.
Some people even remain silent about this or are clueless when asked.
It made it impossible for him to tell what the real situation was.
Luo Yan couldn't help but look at the screen again. It was so tempting, and there were also his wife's favorite junk food, spicy strips, puffed fried snacks and so on.
How about taking a risk?
If I get cheated, I'll just waste eight crystal cores and a few dollars, but in return I'll win the favor of my wife.
He was about to add it to the shopping cart and place the order when his wife suddenly hugged him from behind and said coquettishly:
"Honey, have you spared any time? I really like that kitten. I can't wait to fly over and take a look. Eh? What are you looking at?"
Wenman's eyes were glued to the screen and he couldn't move away:
"Tiger skin chicken feet, spicy chips, crispy noodles, chocolate-filled ice bread. There are so many varieties of -" sanitary napkins!
There are even various care and cleaning solutions for private parts!
She asked blankly, "Which base opened this online store? Can I buy from it?"
Luo Yan: "I can buy it, but..."
“Buy, buy, buy! No buts!”
Wenman wanted to take home every single thing on the screen.
The shopping cart checkout amount grew rapidly.
Luo Yan was forced to jump to the payment interface by her as if signing a contract, but when he was about to pay, the interface suddenly refreshed. The original eight membership fees suddenly became thirty!
Luo Yan was stunned. Before he could stop him, Wen Man clicked to submit the order. After he finished, he glared at him:
"What's wrong? Has your love disappeared? Are you unwilling to spend thirty crystal cores and 860,000 federal coins on me?"
Although Luo Yan was deeply shocked by Tao Yang's temporary price increase, he still suppressed the urge to curse and said to Wen Man with a magnanimous face:
"How could that be? If you like, I'd be willing to waste thirty crystal cores on you."
Wen Man was satisfied, and then he asked belatedly:
"Which base is so powerful that they're willing to sell all this stuff? How come I've never heard of it?"
If she had known earlier, she would have brought her group of sisters to place the order.
Luo Yan held his forehead and said, "Are you stupid? You don't even know which base it is from, and you dare to pay first without knowing whether it is reliable or not."
But he didn't dare say it.
At this time, a prompt box pops up on the screen:
Taoyang Business has received your order and is processing it. We expect to have the goods ready the next day. Please come and receive the goods within half a month. Thank you for your support.
Wen Man exclaimed "Wow" without a doubt, and envied from the bottom of his heart:
"Taoyang has so many good things. I've never heard of them before. No wonder they can raise such beautiful kittens."
Luo Yan: Is there any necessary connection between having good things and raising cats?
Wenman browsed Taoyang's official website again, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
Luo Yan felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next second I heard her say:
"Honey, I don't want to wait any longer. Let's set off tonight. By the way, I think Taoyang really doesn't need money. How about you send two of our latest base vehicles to Taoyang?"
Luo Yan almost spit out a mouthful of blood. "My dear, do you know how much that base vehicle is worth? It's worth at least 50 crystal cores and 10 million federal coins. Even with that, there are still people rushing to buy it. You're giving away two at once. Isn't that a bit too generous?"
A cat is worth two of his new base vehicles?
He's really going to have a heart attack.
Wenman hesitated for a moment. "But we don't have anything special except the base vehicle. I just saw the cleaning lady's lounge, and it's more impressive than your office."
Luo Yan: "I'll find someone to rebuild the office tomorrow."
Finally, Luo Yan was no longer able to do anything and said:
"Two is impossible, but I can consider one. I really can't leave tonight because I still have some orders to process. I promise I'll go before the end of this month, okay?"
There is no other way. I have to love my beloved wife to the end even if I have to kneel down.
Wen Man reluctantly agreed, but still felt that he was stingy and planned to look through his own private belongings and then give Tao Yang some money.
She had to make the original owner feel her sincerity, otherwise who would be willing to sell such a beautiful kitten to her.
She called Song Yuebin and told him about her plan to go to Taoyang this month. Finally, she asked to see some recent photos of Little Flame.
Song Yuebin nodded repeatedly, but looked worried after hanging up the phone.
He feels a little guilty now and doesn't dare to see Su Tao.
But he didn't dare to pay any attention to what Mrs. Wen said, so he had to bite the bullet and call Su Tao.
Su Tao listened to him chattering about family matters for most of the day and became a little impatient: "Captain Song, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm almost busy here."
The new house for October has not been found yet, and the tenants waiting to book a room are complaining so much that their office phone is about to explode with calls.
Song Yuebin said awkwardly, "Boss Su, I miss Little Flame a little bit. Can you let me see a recent photo of it to ease my longing?"
