"The Alia Province is the future of the Empire, and various resources will continuously be directed toward the Alia Province."
"Wealth, scientists, and everything you can imagine will all be directed toward the Alia Province."
"The biggest drawback of Gafura is that it lacks vast land and various dostic resources; we cannot always rely on imports from foreign countries."
"It’s alright during peaceti, but once a war breaks out, if so of the resources we depend on from imports are cut off, it might force us to compromise."
"If we acquire the Alia Province, even if the Main Island falls, we will still have the power to fight a war. However, if we only possess the Main Island, once we lose a war, we will completely lose our chances."
"Therefore, the Alia Province will be the core of Gafura’s transformation, as it has everything we need right now."
"Land, population, abundant resources, and strategic depth."
"Once we have a foothold there and assimilate the locals, without a doubt, it will beco the new Imperial Capital."
Lynch paused here, with so people still a bit surprised, as this was not the first ti Lynch had raised the issue of the nature of the Alia Region.
However, the nobles in the room were in an awkward position, perhaps because they were never qualified or had the opportunity to hear Lynch’s opinions up close, hence their shocked expressions.
The new Imperial Capital, if their ears were not deceiving them, they could already imagine what the future would be like.
Lynch briefly explained his views and theoretical backing, although he didn’t need to, as the nobles could ask soone knowledgeable in the field and hear similar ideas.
This is a future trend. If Gafura doesn’t change its small island territory and lack of strategic space and resources, it will inevitably be gradually surpassed by the entire world.
The cost of going to war is already high, and in the future, it will be even higher. When people find wars increasingly difficult, they will enter a relatively long peace period.
Once Gafura declines to a second or third-rate country in this process, it will never have the chance to rise again.
Under imnse pressure, change is inevitable. As long as the Alia Province develops enough to support Gafura’s future strategic intentions, they will have another opportunity.
"Once the developnt of the Alia Province reaches or exceeds the Empire’s plans..." Lynch looked at others while saying this, "In my view, this is bound to happen; it’s just a matter of ti."
"Five years, seven years, or ten years, ti will pass quickly, and the next war will also accelerate this situation."
"Once the Empire’s focus shifts, the Alia Province will beco a new empire, and then the Imperial Family and ministers will move there. At that ti, what do you think will be most valuable?"
Lynch is skilled at inspiring people and prefers persuading others through this participatory thod.
What people hear from others might not be what they want or even the truth; only what they strive for and earn with hard work is real.
They are thinking and will, for a long ti, believe that only the answers they co up with are correct.
The young Count was the first to recover from his thoughts; he is young, quick in thinking, and has many ideas, which is his advantage.
"Mr. Lynch, is it...land?"
Lynch nodded with satisfaction, and so other nobles also showed expressions of "so that’s it."
On Gafura’s Main Island, the most expensive thing is land, and because of the small territory, land prices are sky-high.
But the young Count quickly had a new question, "But I’ve seen the Alia Province’s map, which is ten or more tis the size of Gafura; how can its land still be so expensive?"
Instead of thinking themselves, the nobles started focusing on the conversation between these two young n.
"Would you live in the wilderness?" Lynch asked in return, and the young Count shook his head.
"You see, you wouldn’t live in the wilderness either; no matter how large an area is, people always live around a few cores."
"In the Federation, it’s the sa. Land in the countryside is cheap, and if you’re willing to pioneer, you can even use land for free without paying a cent..."
The Federation has relevant laws stating that land identified as wasteland by the governnt that is developed into farmland or pastures will have a ti limit.
Within this period, the developer cannot sell the land and must continue to work it. Once the period ends, the land will belong to the developer forever and can be sold normally after three to five years.
But if within the period the land is deserted again, such as the planted area ratio not eting the Federation’s minimum requirents, or if the livestock number is below a certain benchmark, the land will not beco private.
This way, Federation land is already very cheap; anyone willing to endure hardships can beco a large landowner, yet people still flock to the cities. Why?
The land in Bupen City’s center is called "paved with gold bricks," and each square price can evoke deep despair from the Federation’s lower class.
Why concentrate in city centers and spend big money on real estate?
Ultimately, it’s about a tendency.
"...Once the Alia Province develops, with more nobles and capital entering, if you want to invest then, I can only say it’s too late."
"Now, with not enough attention there, is just the right ti for us to invest!"
Lynch spoke clearly, making it easily understandable. After the nobles whispered for a while, soone raised a new question.
It’s normal to ask questions; when people have doubts or confusion, they need to ask them to resolve these doubts and continue following Lynch.
"Mr. Lynch, if we only buy land, firstly we might find it hard to buy land close to the city center, and secondly, if we just buy land, short-term it won’t offer sufficient returns..."
In short, it’s not easy to buy, and buying won’t profit in the short term.
Every piece of land in the city centers of Alia Province’s cities already has an owner; trying to buy land there now is impossible.
It took so long for the Alia Province to stabilize, and forcibly requisitioning land could reignite conflicts between Gafura people and locals, which would be disastrous for these young nobles.
Neither the Governor nor the Emperor would let them off lightly.
Lynch shook his head, "You’re thinking wrong. Buying land doesn’t an we have to buy ’land’..." He emphasized the second "land," "For example, if we requisition so land in the na of building a factory."
"I believe the locals in the Alia Province now desperately want legitimate jobs to support their families."
"Factories need areas for distribution, warehouses storing raw materials, and considering future developnt trends, we leave room. These lands will be very valuable in the future and not provoke problems with locals."
"Or we could build so schools; schools definitely need large playgrounds, indoor gyms, even an artificial lake!"
"Many ways to buy land, as for the returns..."
Lynch thought for a mont, took out a business card, and put it on the table, "If you trust , once you have your land, you can entrust your industries to them, and the rate of return will satisfy you."
He didn’t forget to joke a little, "Of course, not as outrageous as Yuanrong Capital, but around ten percent annually is no problem."
The young Count glanced at it, showing a peculiar expression, "Darkstone Capital..." He looked up at Lynch, "Mr. Lynch, is this your company?"
Naturally, Lynch nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Darkstone Capital is currently the most intimate partner of the Empire’s Special Zone governnt, and also among the Federation Governnt’s closest partners, as well as one of Nagariel’s United Developnt Company’s board mbers..."
A string of titles fell out, leaving everyone, whether they understood Lynch’s exact words or not, speechless.
It’s impossible; with such huge titles like the Empire’s and Federation Governnt’s, and the nobles being naive in such matters.
The young Count had people replicate so business cards. They had clerks specializing in these tasks, ensuring every card matched the original.
"Anyone else has questions?" Lynch asked after handling that matter.
Now, no one else moved, just as Lynch was about to end the topic, the young Count suddenly raised his hand.
"Mr. Lynch, what if we can’t buy land in the city center?" Young and full of ideas, and feeling close to Lynch, he asked directly.
"A good question!" Lynch praised him, making the young Count’s face light up with excitent; being praised by soone admired brings joy.
Lynch looked at others, "Solving this issue is simple; if we can’t buy land in the city center, we’ll ’move’ the city center to where we can buy land!"
