Mayor Jiang was a composed person most of the time. Seldom did he show any sign of surprise.

Hong Weiguo was surprised. "Old Jiang, you aren't so easily alarmed normally. Even though Dali bought quite a large number of estates, it isn't something you should be so surprised about. What's the real reason?"

Mayor Jiang put down his pen and leaned against his chair's backrest. He didn't directly answer Hong Weiguo's question but instead asked, "Let's put that aside for now. Old Hong, although Dali bought quite a number of estates, I don't think that's the reason you are here to see me, is it? Tell me, what is your plan?" Hong Weiguo's foresight in the business industry had always been very accurate. Since he had come to pay a visit to Mayor Jiang today, it definitely wasn't for a trivial matter.

"Nothing much, actually." Hong Weiguo smiled and said, "Since Dali likes to play. Thus, as his father, I should cooperate with him. You should know how weak his constitution is. His mother and I can't bear to either scold or hit him. Luckily, his prodigal actions this time are actually worth something. I plan to cooperate with him. Since he wants to play, I might as well give him some aid and purchase all the land in the fourth loop."

Hong Weiguo paused, lightly held up the teacup, and took a sip of tea before he continued, "I plan to invest another one to three hundred million yuan to develop the land surrounding Ye Lai Xiang. I'm basically just doing a risky investment and seeing how the profits turn out. Old Jiang, what do you think?"

With Hong Weiguo's wealth, investing one or two hundred million yuan to test the waters in real estate really meant nothing to him.

But Mayor Jiang's face totally changed. His expression solemn, he said, "Old Hong, regarding this issue, I think that you should really thank your child Dali."

Hong Weiguo's curiosity was aroused by Mayor Jiang's words. "Oh, why is that? Could it be that my house's prodigal Dali did the right thing in buying these estates?"

Mayor Jiang gave a bitter smile and said, "In the past, I didn't believe in fate, but now it seems that I have no choice but to believe in it." Upon saying that, he stood up, took out a document from the bookcase behind him, and said, "Take a look at this and you will understand what I mean."

"What are you acting so mysterious for?" Hong Weiguo received the document. When he briskly browsed through, his eyes immediately lit up. "This... This can't be? Our country is actually planning to expropriate the fourth loop in preparation for developing it into a special economic zone!?"

"They have the intention of doing this, but the proper policy has yet to be passed down. Regardless of that, do you know how much this document is worth alone!?" Mayor Jiang slowly sat down and said in a solemn manner, "With our relationship, I should have informed you of this, but the government has yet to officialize this policy. Therefore, I decided to keep it a secret for now. I'm not exaggerating when I say that in Tianjing City, not more than ten people know of this document." Having said this, Mayor Jiang took in a deep breath. "I never expected this, but judging from the current situation, your Dali has quite the luck on his side. Or should I say that he has inherited the accurate foresight of the Hong family?"

"This prodigal." Hong Dali's father laughed loudly. "I didn't expect him to open up the situation so coincidently. The government is planning to expropriate the land for the development of an economic zone. There are many prospects to be made if my family can obtain the contract for developing the land."
