389: Chapter 389: Easy to Talk 389: Chapter 389: Easy to Talk “You don’t understand, the interstellar airport will be a crucial cornerstone that determines a city’s prosperity in the future.
It must be situated at the city center to better protect the interstellar airport.
To put it plainly, Demon City will be tied to the interstellar airport in the future, sharing its fortunes and misfortunes.
And the concerns you have are not groundless; from the current state of technology, it does seem sowhat premature to step into the Interstellar Era.
But let tell you a top-secret piece of information privately, a new era is about to unfold, and the world will enter an unprecedented new era.
When that ti cos, everything will be reshuffled.
Whether we can secure a position in the future hinges on our decisions now.”
Cao Wen whispered to Su Mo.
Although Su Mo appeared calm on the surface, his heart was also feeling turbulent – the impact of Star Ring on reality was starting to beco evident.
“I don’t object to the city planning above.
Although I am quite reluctant, after all, it’s for the advancent of civilization.
I will concede where I must, as long as your compensation offer is reasonable.”
“I am very grateful for Mr.
Su Mo’s understanding, but to be honest with you, the interstellar airport that the authorities initially planned for us was quite small.
However, to secure a place in the fierce competition of the future and ensure the continued prosperity of Demon City, we altered the design and plan.
This has resulted in a very serious funding shortfall, hence the compensation we can offer is also very limited.”
Cao Wen raised the most critical part of the issue.
“How much can you compensate?
And what about the follow-up resettlent?”
Su Mo asked after a few seconds of silence.
“Our preliminary plan is to compensate you with 7 billion, and all tenants will receive one month’s rent as compensation.
Of course, this figure is still open to negotiation.”
Cao Wen didn’t set the price in stone; he was aware that the offered price was exceptionally low.
After all, comparable land in Demon City would not go for les than 50 billion.
Su Mo pondered and said, “I’m not very interested in money; I need land and corresponding real estate compensation.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Wen found it sowhat difficult to respond since there really weren’t many vacant properties or plots of land left in Demon City, but Su Mo’s request was understandable and justified.
After much thought, Cao Wen presented a compromise.
“How about this, we lower the compensation to 2 billion, and I will have my people compensate you with one hundred thousand sets of periphery houses of varying sizes.
Additionally, in the villa area near the interstellar airport, we’ll allocate a plot of land to you.
What do you think?
I know this compensation plan may not be entirely satisfactory, but it truly represents the entirety of our current available budget.
I’m not ashad to say that the planning personnel from Imperial City are currently clashing with us over the progress of the interstellar airport.
And tonight’s charity event is to raise funds for the construction of the interstellar airport.”
He needed to finalize the matter quickly to prevent any mishaps, as the group from Imperial City kept looking for excuses to downscale the size of Demon City’s interstellar airport.
“Alright!”
Su Mo agreed briskly.
Upon hearing Su Mo’s consent, Cao Wen revealed a radiant smile and once again extended his hand to Su Mo solemnly.
Su Mo too reached out and clasped hands with Cao Wen.
“Mr.
Su Mo, thank you for your sacrifice and contribution to Demon City.
This is my personal business card.
If there’s anything you need in the future, you can call this number.”
Cao Wen then took out a business card and handed it over.
Su Mo received it and put it away.
“Alright.”
“Haha, now that the serious business is concluded, when the banquet is over, I’ll have my butler send you the drafted agreent.
Let’s not talk about that for now, let’s start the feast.
Our guests have probably been waiting a while.”
“Hmm.”
Su Mo nodded in agreent.
“Excuse then.”
Cao Wen then proceeded to the front of the banquet hall.
Looking around, Su Mo spotted Lin Zinuo, who was enjoying a pleasant chat with Cao Yun.
Won truly are a remarkable species; in such a short span, the two had beco quite close.
Su Mo walked over.
Seeing Su Mo approaching, Cao Yun courteously greeted him.
“Mr.
Su Mo.”
“Miss Cao Yun.”
Su Mo responded politely.
Cao Yun sized up Su Mo, a hint of curiosity shining in her clear eyes.
“What’s the matter?”
Su Mo asked curiously.
“Nothing much, it’s just that Mr.
Su Mo looks a bit familiar, as if I’ve seen him sowhere before.”
Cao Yun responded with a smile.
“Then you must be mistaken, this guy is a standard hobody.”
Lin Zinuo said in a good mood.
“Then I might be mistaken.”
Cao Yun didn’t dwell on the issue any further.
At this mont, the banquet hall resonated with Cao Wen’s composed voice, “Distinguished guests, thank you for taking ti out of your busy schedules to attend this banquet…”
The lights in the banquet hall gathered on Cao Wen, and the banquet officially began.
Seeing this, Cao Yun bowed apologetically and said, “Sister Zinuo, Mr.
Su Mo, the banquet is starting and I need to attend to things, so please excuse .”
“Sure, take your ti.”
Su Mo and Lin Zinuo nodded in response.
After Cao Yun left, Lin Zinuo teased Su Mo, “I’ve noticed you’re handso and rich, and you’re popular with everyone.
Even little sister Cao Yun said you looked familiar.
Aren’t you happy about that?”
Su Mo replied indifferently, “It’s normal for her to find familiar, we were in the sa class in primary school.”
“Ah, you really know each other?
You’re not just trying to aggrandize yourself, are you?”
Lin Zinuo expressed disbelief.
“Why would I lie to you?
I have a good mory, but I didn’t expect her mory to be that good too.
Anyway, let’s not talk about that, your uncle and aunt are coming over.”
Su Mo suddenly said with a serious expression.
At Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo’s expression stiffened, and she imdiately panicked.
“It’s over, it’s all over…”
Su Mo also felt inexplicably guilty.
However, the inevitable eventually happened, Lin Wei and Lin He approached the two of them.
“Dad, Mom,”
Lin Zinuo greeted awkwardly.
Su Mo also greeted, “Uncle, Aunt…”
Neither Lin He nor Lin Wei spoke, making the atmosphere even more awkward.
At this mont, Lin He sighed and said, “We’ll leave the young people’s business to you.”
“Dad…”
Hearing Lin Wei’s words, Lin Zinuo also showed surprise and then a look of joy.
Holding Lin Wei’s hand, she happily replied,
“Thank you, Dad.”
Su Mo looked puzzled but didn’t explain much.
He knew Lin Wei didn’t have a very good impression of him, and suddenly he rembered sothing and said,
“By the way, Uncle, Aunt, since you’re visiting Demon City, why don’t we have a al together tomorrow?
I’d like to offer you the hospitality of the host.”
“Yeah, let’s all have a al together,”
Lin Zinuo looked at her parents with anticipation.
“Alright.”
Lin Wei didn’t refuse; he didn’t want to snub Su Mo either.
