"I also suspect there was some behind-the-scenes manipulation, otherwise how could Qiongmiao's witchcraft have lost to Guimiao's? That's impossible!"
"What's impossible about it? Do you really know that much about the major Miao regions?"
…
Those who lost suspected foul play, while those who won felt it was perfectly fair.
This is the human heart.
On the other hand, --
This refers to the Gu fighting arena at Kongbei Ancient Village, which involves a battle between the most skilled Gu masters from the Hunan, Guizhou, and Yunnan Miao regions, as well as a battle between the most skilled Gu practitioners from various Miao areas.
so---
This time, it was Miao Shengtang Amo, whose health had recovered somewhat, who opened the business.
The wealthiest individuals and business tycoons have all placed bets.
In just two days, the amount of money involved in the betting market reached a staggering 700 million.
When this news reached Elder Jing's ears, it infuriated the old man.
“This little Amo is pregnant, and besides, her status is different now. How can she run a gambling operation?”
On a slightly higher hill in Kongbei Ancient Village, accompanied by the Provincial Secretary, Deputy Director Cheng, and General Jing, Old Jing heard about the huge gambling debt as soon as he arrived.
This made him so angry—
However, when Deputy Director Cheng summoned Miao King Ali Chen, Ali Chen immediately said:
“Elder Jing, I know it’s not right to do this, as it would damage our reputation, but there are at least three to five thousand wealthy merchants who have come to our Miao region this time, if not ten thousand.”
“If I ask them to give money to support the development of Miao region for nothing, they definitely won’t agree. It’s better to use this method. They can have fun, and we can also earn money to develop Miao region. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”
cough cough--
A win-win situation?
Old Jing and the others choked.
Both the provincial governor and General Jing thought that Achen would make excuses or pretexts, or admit his mistake and do it only this once.
To everyone's surprise, the Miao King not only readily admitted it, but also spoke with such confidence and conviction, claiming it was for the development of the Miao region.
"Little Achen, are you now the richest man in Asia?"
Old Master Jing's implication was that Mu Achen, though not short of money, should be mindful of his influence and reputation.
Ah Chen deliberately paused for a moment, then scratched the back of his head and said:
“Elder Jing, it’s not true wealth if I’m the only one who’s rich. It’s true wealth if the entire Miao people are rich, and the entire Xia Dynasty is rich.”
"You little Miao boy, --"
"Elder Jing, I accept the criticism and education! We'll just enjoy ourselves for a few days! Oh, by the way, I have something very important to report to you."
Tell me about it.
"It's like this, Elder Jing, the Miao competition will last for a total of seven days! In a couple of days, there's a Miao medicine competition at Jiuyou Ancient Village, right? I'm planning to personally open a bigger venue for it. If I lose, it's on me; if I win, I'll pay the tax."
cough cough--
Upon hearing Ah Chen's words, Old Master Jing's expression, which had just begun to soften, was instantly ignited again.
So, this young Miao man is looking to pull off a heist against an old man of his status and position.
Can't we avoid choking this old man?
"Ah Chen. --"
The faces of the provincial officials twitched. In this world, probably only this young Miao Lang would dare to cooperate with Elder Jing, especially for something like this.
General Jing quickly pulled Ah Chen aside, signaling him that he shouldn't talk about such things.
But Ah Chen said, "Grandpa Jing, relax for two days! After the major Miao battles are over, we'll announce the launch of the Skyscraper Project."
Launch the skyscraper project?
Before Elder Jing and the others could react, Ah Chen said again, "The total investment for the first step of the Skyscraper Project is 100 billion."
"I want to build five skyscrapers that will pierce the clouds in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong first."
"Especially in Shanghai, I want to build a landmark building that is the largest in China and among the top three in the world."
"It's time for our Great Xia to recover."
"Grandpa Jing, I've already had Amo prepare the funds!"
A multi-billion dollar investment?
All for the Skyscraper Project, to make the skyscrapers of Daxia rise from the ground and stand tall in the clouds of the world.
Upon hearing these words, the provincial secretary and Deputy Director Cheng trembled slightly.
As for Elder Jing, he knew about the plan and naturally hoped that Great Xia would have a magnificent skyscraper to be proud of.
so,--
After careful consideration, he looked up and asked Ah Chen, "How many days are left until the Miao Battle ends?"
There's a chance!
Ah Chen quickly replied, "There are still six or seven days left."
"I'm returning to Yanjing in five days! Before that, you and Xiao Amo, please set aside half a day so I can have a chat with you two."
Want to chat?
Signal!
This is a signal.
As long as Grandpa Jing isn't in Miao territory, Mu Achen can do whatever he wants.
Turn a blind eye.
Unexpectedly, when the old man turned around, he said to Ah Chen, "You can talk to your provincial secretary about the tax payment."
I--
I'm about to invest hundreds of billions, and I'm going to have to pay taxes for a small gamble?
Ah Chen reluctantly agreed.
But,--
After Elder Jing went to the Gu fighting arena below, the provincial secretary told Achen that he would be leaving Guizhou Province next February.
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen thought to himself: I still have to leave!
“Ah Chen, the person who will take my place has been decided. He has also come to your Miao region this time. He really wants to talk to you. Try to make time for him.”
“No need to squeeze in time. I’m going to Qingmiao tomorrow. If you have time, we can go together. Balong Ancient Village will also be included in the first batch of Miao villages in the Qianmiao Development Project.”
"The first batch of that 12.8 billion investment?"
"right!"
call--
The provincial governor was slightly taken aback, because he had previously heard Tianfeng Xiaotan's report that Mu Achen wanted to leave Miao territory and did not want to develop it, which made him very anxious.
