Chapter 535: Su Yang Makes A Bold Request

Chapter 535: Su Yang Makes A Bold Request

When Ying Tianhou heard Su Yang’s words, he waved his hand. “It’s fine. Feel free to speak your mind. We have 2 objectives for coming here. Firstly, we want to see what kind of company you have here. Secondly, we want to see there’s anything you need that we can be of support.”

When Su Yang heard Ying Tianhou’s words, he felt relieved. “In that case, I’ll get straight to the point then.”

“Well, here’s the thing. Our group is developing at an increasing rapid rate and we’re getting more and more staff. The experiments on artificial intelligence have more demanding requirements on the environment. Plus, our industry has a lot of trade and technical secrets. Therefore… I would like to receive a piece of land in Shanghai to build my own headquarters and research centre.”

Su Yang’s request silenced the entire dining table.

The big shots who were seated there had visited many companies before that particular visit and had also been met with some requests. However, most of them only requested for some support or policies. However, they had never met someone like Su Yang who asked for a piece of land right out the gate.

Especially since the place he had requested a land for was none other Shanghai, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Even the most remote areas had sky-high prices, yet Su Yang could actually make that kind of request…

The big shots were all shocked, but Su Yang did not seem to care much. The reason why he cooperated and agreed to the tour that time was not only because he did not want to be made a scapegoat in the future, but also because he wanted land.

‘If it weren’t because I had to buy a piece of land for myself or the tedious application process which was too expensive, I wouldn’t even want to be bothered with these people.’

When Ying Tianhou heard what Su Yang said, he was taken aback by how ambitious Su Yang was. However, he did not know why, but ever since he met Su Yang that day, he felt that Su Yang was very pleasing to the eyes.

In the later part of the tour, even though the 2 technicians were the ones explaining most of the time, for some reason, Ying Tianhou felt that it was all thanks to Su Yang.

And now, even though Su Yang had raised such an outrageous request, Ying Tianhou did not have any ill feelings towards Su Yang. He only felt that young people were indeed fearless!

That was actually the effect of [The Devil’s Angel Halo]. The ability of that special item was to eliminate hostility and it would subtly make people friendly to the user.

That was why Su Yang called it [The Friendly Halo].

Ying Tianhou did not know that Su Yang was some kind of cheater, so he thought for a while and smiled. “Young people are indeed ambitious. However, this land matter is very important, so it’s impossible for me to approve it just like that. Even if it’s approved, it’s definitely not free.”

“Besides, your company has just started. It’s still too early for you to start planning about building your headquarters.”

When Su Yang saw that Ying Tianhou rejected him with just a few words, he did not hesitate to activate his [Intermediate Verbal Cannon]. “Mayor Ying. I’m just preparing for the rainy days. Advanced technology is developing so quickly now, how can I not make plans in advance? Let’s disregard everything else, the few companies that I have now have all been developed from scratch over the past 7 months.”

“The artificial intelligence that I developed only took 5 months for it to reach the top level in the country.”

“I believe my company will gradually grow faster in the future.”

“Perhaps it’s because I’m from the countryside and I don’t have a place of my own, but I really feel insecure.”

“I want to settle down in Shanghai and build my company here. I want my few hundred employees to have a real place they can call home.”

“The top few technology companies in the country, Tencent is in Shencheng, Ali is in Hangzhou, Baidu in the Imperial Capital, other companies like Huawei, ByteDance and ZTE are either in Shencheng or the Imperial Capital, but none of them are in Shanghai. This is Shanghai’s loss and I want to be the pioneer of Shanghai’s advanced technology industry.”

Su Yang, with the foundation of his [Advanced Verbal Cannon], coupled with the additional effects of his activated [Intermediate Verbal Cannon], his words were filled with confidence and flamboyance, displaying the attitude of a young and frivolous but vigorous industrial leader.

The big shots present were completely stunned by him.

Actually, normally speaking, if a young man said something like that and even said that he wanted to be the leader of Shanghai’s technology industry, the big shots would probably think that Su Yang was impetuous and delusional even if they did not say it outright.

However, Su Yang had used both of his abilities at the same time so that the big shots would not have negative feelings for him. Furthermore, with Su Yang’s previous results, they could not help but think that Su Yang was really confident and started to consider whether they should really satisfy Su Yang’s request.

The one who was least affected was Ying Hou. As a powerful figure in Shanghai, he was able to climb to his current position through decades of governmental training. Hence, he would definitely not be swayed by Su Yang’s words. However, he was obviously affected by Su Yang’s generosity and his face was filled with admiration.

He coughed and patted Su Yang’s shoulder. “The younger generation will surpass us in time. However, this country has its own standards. Your company has just developed and have yet to meet the requirements, so it’s impossible for us to approve your request for a land right now.”

Although he still rejected Su Yang, his attitude softened.

Hence, Su Yang looked at Dean Qin when he noticed what was happening.

Dean Qin stood up and said with a smile, “Mayor Ying. It’s true that this country has its own standards, but the Jiadian Group is doing very well in artificial intelligence and have made Shanghai proud.”

“It’s indeed inappropriate to give him the land if it’s against the rules, but I remember a few years ago, when the real estate market fell, there was a dilapidated building near Technology Park. At the time, there was a dispute. Later, with the help of the district, the dispute was resolved, and the dilapidated building was turned into urban land.

“Later, when the district had plans for Technology Park, they gave a part of the building to Technology Garden. When Technology Garden was building the building, they realized that the piece of land was quite far from the main park, and they needed to demolish the building. The construction cost was too high, so they gave up.

“Now that the Technology Park has been built, the other parts of the abandoned building have been converted into public facilities like a park. Only the piece of land and the abandoned building are left in the middle, which is an eyesore.

“Later, the district took back this small piece of land from Technology Park, but they kept it with them and haven’t made any other plans in years.

“Since Su Yang wants to build his headquarters, why don’t we give him this piece of land? Of course, since it’s not a special approval, he will still have to spend the money required. It’s just that since he’s in the advanced technology industry, the city and district will be able to give him some appropriate discounts.”

Everything that Dean Qin had just said had all been discussed with Su Yang beforehand.

2 days ago, Su Yang went to the school to talk to Dean Qin and told him that he wanted a piece of land to build his headquarters and research center. When Dean Qin heard about it, he was shocked as well. He felt that Su Yang had the guts to ask for anything.

However, under Su Yang’s [Verbal Cannon] + [Friendly Halo], he eventually agreed to help Su Yang.

Furthermore, the old man was indeed a good person. After he agreed, he analyzed the unrealistic nature of the land that Su Yang wanted. Then, he called some of the big shots in the district and asked them about it. Coincidentally, he found out about that lousy building.

Therefore, after some discussion, the 2 decided that it was more practical to “plot” against that lousy building.

Of course, no matter how small that piece of land was, it was still 3 to 4,000 square meters. The corners of the land were not bad either. With Shanghai’s land price, even if it was an industrial construction site, even with subsidies, it would probably still cost tens of millions of yuan.

However, Su Yang could be considered rich and overbearing at that moment, so he did not really care about that tens of millions of yuan. Hence, he agreed without any hesitation.

The old man was rather interesting as well. When he saw that Su Yang did not even bat an eyelid after having to throw out tens of millions of yuan, he quickly asked Su Yang if he had any thoughts of donating to the Liberal Arts Faculty. Plus, he even told Su Yang a bunch of great principles, such as how great and how much the university had done for Su Yang and so on.

Su Yang was not able to outspeak him no matter how hard he tried, so he gave him a fraction of his shares… Worth 20,000 yuan.

The old man was a dignified director, yet he did not mind the small amount and had actually accepted it. Then, he sent Su Yang a receipt that the school had accepted his donation a few days later…

Therefore, on that day, the old man had said everything according to what he had discussed with Su Yang, word for word.

After hearing what Dean Qin said, Ying Tianhou looked at the district director who had accompanied him during that visit. The director quickly explained the details of the land.

After hearing that, Ying Tianhou thought about it for a long time but did not give an accurate answer. He only said that he would have a discussion when he returned. If possible, he would try his best to push this matter forward.

When he spoke, [Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Serious], [Self-Confident]…

‘I suppose there shouldn’t be any problems.’

Sure enough, Su Yang did not have to wait for too long. On the third Wednesday of the second week, Su Yang received a call from Ying Tianhou’s secretary and told Su Yang that after Su Yang’s application was approved, the district would contact Su Yang soon.

With Ying Tianhou following up on that matter, the district contacted Su Yang the next day and told him that the land had been approved and he was able to go over to look at the price and sign the agreement.

That day, Su Yang got Pan Zhaodi to drive him to the district. Then, he chatted with the person in charge of that plot of land. The plot of land was 2934.7 square meters. To the east of it was the Baoshan District Park and to the west was Technology Park. Most of the land was covered with broken tiles and dilapidated buildings. Plus, there was also an unfinished building on top of the land.

Because it was an order from the city, the district did their best to bring down the price as much as possible. In the end, they went according to 5,000 yuan per square meter, totalling up to 14,67.35,000 yuan for 2,934.7 square meters.

However, the district merely sold Su Yang the land and he would have to deal with the unfinished building himself.

Initially, Su Yang felt that it was a little troublesome, but after thinking about it…’Unfinished building? I suppose an unfinished building is also a building after all. Didn’t I happen to have a [Advanced Life Evolution Voucher]?

‘Should I use the voucher on this unfinished building?

‘I could save some money on demolishing while I’m at it…

‘However, this is something that can only be done in the middle of the night to avoid attention.’

At that thought, Su Yang agreed to the district’s condition.
