Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

Chapter 264: Chapter 263: Official Phone Call, Willing to Purchase at a High Price?

After the emergency meeting ended.

The sky had already brightened.

A new day had arrived, and both Zheng Yan and Wei Shaojie felt the morning sun was especially brilliant and beautiful.

If this matter was handled well, the credit would undoubtedly go to them.

It would be a crucial factor in their future promotions.

Liu Bowen stared blankly at the sunlight outside his window.

He might not have even noticed that a smile had been playing on his lips all night.

It was only six in the morning when Hu Dawei, yawning, saw that Liu Bowen was already up.

”Up so early?”

”Are you going out to shoot new material today too?”

Hu Dawei asked, his eyes still heavy with sleep.

The smile on Liu Bowen’s face didn’t fade. He leaned in close to Hu Dawei and asked with a grin, ”Were you online yesterday?”

Hu Dawei shook his head, looking completely lost. ”I was with my dad at his check-up yesterday. I was busy all day, what time did I have to go online?”

Liu Bowen said with a smile, ”Well, I think you should go online and take a look at a few things.”

After saying this, Liu Bowen turned and went out for his morning run.

Recalling Liu Bowen’s mysterious expression, a puzzled Hu Dawei turned on his computer.

Sure enough, he saw search results all about Cyan Mountain Town.

After looking for a full half-hour, Hu Dawei pinched his thigh and muttered to himself,

”Has Cyan Mountain Town gone viral?”

Liu Bowen had always made it a habit to exercise.

As he ran along the paths of Cyan Mountain Town, he watched the morning sun in the distance.

He felt completely refreshed and invigorated.

On top of that, Cyan Mountain Town’s sudden explosion in popularity yesterday had brought nearly seventy thousand new followers to Liu Bowen’s social media platform.

So, Liu Bowen had no intention of wasting the day. He decided to go to a mountain just outside of Cyan Mountain Town to scout for new scenery.

Only from the summit could one get an unobstructed, panoramic view of the entire town.

Before he knew it, Liu Bowen had been exercising until well after nine in the morning.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Everyone had already gathered in Lin Feng’s office.

”I’ve looked over your plan. To achieve this kind of result in such a short amount of time is truly impressive!”

Lin Feng said with a smile, looking at the nearly thirty-page proposal on his desk.

Cao Ming and his team of two others hadn’t rested at all the previous night.

They had gone straight to a hotel, booked a room, and pulled an all-nighter to finish the proposal.

Lin Feng hadn’t expected the three of them to be so efficient.

Moreover, even though the tourism development plan was rushed and completed in a short time, it was still of very high quality.

So Lin Feng praised them without reservation.

Cao Ming hadn’t even shaved; he looked at least ten years older, weathered and worn.

The other two also had heavy, dark circles under their eyes, but all three men had exceptionally bright eyes.

Clearly, their spirits were soaring.

However, as Lin Feng examined it closely, he could also see that because the proposal had been rushed, there were still some issues with the details.

These minor problems needed to be polished.

Lin Feng looked at the three exhausted, haggard men and hesitated for a moment before asking,

”Can the three of you still hold up?”

It was no wonder Lin Feng asked.

Although the three men seemed to be in high spirits, they had pulled an all-nighter and done a massive amount of mental work. Cao Ming and his team looked utterly drained.

Although they hadn’t known Lin Feng for long, the other three understood his temperament well.

When working with Lin Feng, it was best to be direct and tell it like it is.

As an outstanding leader, he could make the most appropriate arrangements for any given situation.

Cao Ming was the first to raise his hand. ”I’m at my limit. My mind is buzzing, but my body is exhausted.”

”I need to sleep for a couple of hours to recover!”

Lin Feng nodded and his gaze fell on the other two men.

Tian Xiaowu’s eyelids were already fighting to stay open. He raised a hand and said, ”Same as Cao Ming, I need to sleep for a bit.”

Du Hai nodded as well.

The immense mental effort had simply drained everyone’s physical energy.

Lin Feng understood the situation.

So, he immediately instructed the administration department to book rooms at the best hotel specifically for these three to rest.

However, Lin Feng himself hadn’t stayed up late last night. So after the other three left, he sat down at his computer to carefully observe the current web traffic related to Cyan Mountain Town.

Because the blogger hadn’t updated with new photos, the current buzz wasn’t very high.

Lin Feng smiled as he looked at the photos of Cyan Mountain Town online, murmuring thoughtfully, ’If those people in charge still can’t figure out that this place is ripe for development, they must be complete idiots!’

As far as Lin Feng was concerned, the situation was still completely under his control.

Previously, all the paperwork for the plot of land in Cyan Mountain Town had been handled by Vice President Li.

Therefore, when the officials from Cyan Mountain Town wanted to contact Lin Feng this time, the first contact information they found was Vice President Li’s.

After returning to Lin Feng’s company, Vice President Li had gone back to his usual duties.

He never expected to receive a call from a government department in Cyan Mountain Town at a time like this.

”Ah, I see. Well, we’ll probably have to discuss the specific details further. How about we get back to you after we’ve made a decision?”

Vice President Li was a seasoned veteran.

Upon hearing the request from the other end of the line, he neither directly refused nor directly agreed.

He simply gave a noncommittal answer.

After all, Vice President Li wasn’t the one who could actually make the final decision on this matter.

The person on the other end of the call didn’t have much of a reaction to Vice President Li’s response.

They remained very polite, agreed, and even scheduled a time for a follow-up call.

After Vice President Li ended the call with the people from Cyan Mountain Town, he took the pen and paper where he had jotted down the key points and went to find Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had been dealing with some investment matters.

When he looked up and saw Vice President Li knocking and entering, he already had a good idea what it was about.

So, just as Vice President Li sat down, before he could even place the paper and pen in front of him, he heard Lin Feng say,

”It’s about the land in Cyan Mountain Town, isn’t it?”

Vice President Li was stunned for a moment, then broke into a smile. ”President Lin, you’re as perceptive as ever. It is indeed about the Cyan Mountain Town land. It seems someone from an official department in Cyan Mountain Town called.”

Lin Feng nodded. ”Looks like their minds work pretty fast. They’re not slow on the uptake.”

Vice President Li didn’t understand and subconsciously asked, ”What?”

Lin Feng chuckled and shook his head. ”What did they say to you on the phone?”

Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Vice President Li immediately took out his phone.

And played a call recording.

When he had first answered the call and heard the other party claim to be from an official department of Cyan Mountain Town, Vice President Li had been cautious and immediately started recording the call.

At first, he was worried it might be a scam, but as he listened, he knew they had to be officials.

Since he had recorded it anyway, it was the simplest and clearest way to convey the other person’s meaning to Lin Feng.

After listening to the entire recording, Lin Feng pretty much understood.

The official department of Cyan Mountain Town was willing to buy back the land he had purchased, and at a higher price.

A significantly higher price, at that.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the desk and glanced up at Vice President Li.

”Do you think we should sell?”

Vice President Li smiled and shook his head. ”I also saw what happened online yesterday. There’s no rush on this...”

”It really depends on what President Lin wants to do. The simple approach would be to raise the price and sell it.”

”But my guess is that President Lin wants to develop it himself.”

Although Vice President Li had been busy dealing with his own backlog of work recently, he was still very aware of some of the personnel changes in the company.

After all, in just the last two days, Lin Feng had personally recruited two people.

And neither of them looked like recent graduates.

Clearly, these were people Lin Feng had sought out himself.

These two hadn’t been assigned to any other departments.

So, their ultimate destination was perfectly clear.

’They must be working directly under Lin Feng!’

Back when Vice President Li handed the land documents over to Lin Feng, Lin Feng had quickly established the Cyan Mountain Town development project.

And he was personally heading it.

Lin Feng glanced at Vice President Li with a smile. ”That’s right. I’m not planning on a simple buy-and-sell transaction.”

Vice President Li nodded, understanding Lin Feng’s clear intentions. ”Then I’ll go and turn them down?”

Lin Feng stopped Vice President Li as he was about to leave. ”Don’t be in a hurry to reply. Stall until they call you.”

In any business transaction, it’s always best to firmly hold the upper hand.

Vice President Li understood the meaning behind Lin Feng’s move perfectly.

”Understood, President Lin.”

Vice President Li replied.

Lin Feng added another instruction, ”How about this: if they contact you again, give them my contact information.”

Vice President Li nodded. It seemed Lin Feng intended to handle this matter himself.
