I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 518 Teacher Zhao, why are you like this too? (26)

"Godfather, why invest here? Why not invest in Tianyuan instead?" Ma Daqiang asked, puzzled.

"I've already invested in all the places I could, there's really nowhere left. The disgusting nature of regional locks is beyond your imagination, there's really no way to get around them."

Chen Yu currently has too much money on hand.

There wasn't much of a problem back in Tianyuan; time still flows very slowly there, and you only see the money increase after a while.

But after he got out, he discovered that he was making millions or even tens of millions of yuan every day, and the cash in his account was increasing rapidly.

I can’t spend it all, I can’t spend it all!
If you don't spend all your cash, you won't be able to use your magic power either.

If I don't use up all my magical power, I'll be betrayed sooner or later, and then my cultivation will drag me down to improve. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.

Moreover, I've come into contact with quite a lot of things this time. My demonic body might just throw a mixed bag of all sorts of random things at me, which would be troublesome.

He had been considering whether to go to Tianmu Mountain to spend some money, but now it seems unnecessary.

I'd rather invest my money in this barren land than give it to you bunch of scum!
Camel was stunned when he learned that Chen Yu really wanted to invest.

Overjoyed, he grabbed Chen Yu and exclaimed, "Mr. Chen, is it true?"

"Really. That's strange. Didn't you say you didn't want me to invest before? Why are you thinking about it now?"

"That's two different things! Before, you were a customer of Traveler's Passenger Transport, so naturally I had to protect you and ensure your safe departure. Now that you're a major client of Cloud City, of course you're very welcome."

Chen Yu then realized that this was Yunduan City.

After reflecting on the name, Chen Yu said, "I didn't expect this place to have such a nice name before."

"That's right!" The camel proudly puffed out its chest. "Our Cloud City used to be rich in aquatic products, but unfortunately, they were destroyed by a disaster. However, as long as you invest, I believe everything will get better in the future! How much do you plan to invest? And in what direction do you plan to invest?"

The camel's expected amount is three million.

With three million, one could attempt to purchase a magic array in the city center of Cloud City and draw in the cloud energy from the coastal area.

With the presence of clouds, this place can obtain enough fresh water and develop around it, striving to rebuild Cloud City within a thousand years.

Although Cloud City is now effectively abandoned, it is possible for it to be revived if it can be put into operation.

The city is their hometown. Without a home, a cultivator's moral character will be reduced first, and then their luck will be reduced as well.

These are all hidden data, but many HR personnel in large companies know this and will prioritize crossing these people out when reviewing resumes to avoid contaminating their company.

Under the expectant gaze of the camel, Chen Yu glanced at his bank balance and asked, "Can you afford nine hundred million?"

"I can't eat! No, I mean, I can eat! I absolutely can eat!"

The camel gripped its thigh tightly, resisting the urge to faint through the pain.

Having barely managed to keep himself from fainting, he asked, panting, "Mr. Chen, what are your investment areas?"

What are the core industries of Tianmu City?

"Flying shuttles, medicine, small magical artifacts, legal services, etc., these are all examples."

Tianmu City offers many service projects, but they all sound very profitable, which isn't what Chen Yu wants. Although it's true that every industry is like a mountain to climb, and he probably wouldn't make money if he rashly invested, who knows if his bad luck might just backfire?

"Are there any projects with long payback periods, high investment costs, and the kind that are really annoying to the disaster response department?"

Camel looked at Chen Yu in astonishment and asked in confusion, "Mr. Chen, if I may be so bold, are you trying to do charity while simultaneously taking a cut from Tianmu City?"

"Pretty much. If he does the first day of the month, then I'll do the fifteenth. So, is there one or not?"

"Um... wait a moment, let me take a look."

Camel pulled out a map and began to study the environment, and Chen Yu joined in.

On the map, he saw that Yunduan City was very large, bordering Wenchang City to the west, Changsheng Sea to the east, and Tianmu City to the north.

The fact that it could turn Cloud City into a desert shows just how terrifying the disaster was back then.

A few minutes later, the camel hesitated and said, "The only thing I can think of is transportation. Tianmu City has a unique geographical environment; it's an important seaport for Changsheng Prefecture, allowing trade with Wangsheng Prefecture in the east and receiving supplies from other prefectures. Yunduan City used to have a port, but it was abandoned due to the calamity. However..."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The cost is indeed very high. We need to clear the port first, and then assess the situation inside. If the port is severely damaged, it will have to be demolished before construction can begin. The conservative estimate is around three billion. Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

Clutching his chest, Chen Yu said with elation, "It's nothing, I just suddenly heard some good news and I feel a little overwhelmed. This is it, a mere 3 billion, I can handle it in two years."

It actually costs 3 billion...

With such a large project, all the loan repayments and factory revenue from the past few years can be resolved here, and I can happily spend my magic power.

Moreover, the completion of the port will benefit the entire Tianyuan area. In the initial stage, we can hold a "grand opening promotion" with buy-one-get-one-free berthing fees, free two years of warehouse fees after one year, and door-to-door delivery for customers. Everything will be perfect.

Teacher Zhao looked at the map and nodded slightly in his heart.

good idea!
Although Tianmu City is located in Changsheng Prefecture, it has long been influenced by the other side because it is too close to Wangsheng Prefecture.

This time too.

It's clearly the city of Changsheng Prefecture, yet they're helping the Disaster Response Department to turn against their own people—it's outrageous!

The fact that Cao Zhen, a Buddhist cultivator, has the power to command the surveillance of Tianmu City shows that it has been infiltrated quite thoroughly by Buddhist cultivators.

The reason it was left unattended was because of the existence of port trade.

However, Chen Yu's planned port can now eliminate the opponent's biggest advantage and seize their importance.

(You do your thing, I'll do mine? That's an interesting move.)
We don't need to build the port. Just letting the other side know that we are building a port will make Tianmu City weigh our strength and goals and then react accordingly.

Cao Zhen can influence Tianmu City's decisions through his own means, so we can also threaten Tianmu through our actions.

Chen Yu, is this also part of your plan?
Moreover, this is a perfectly legitimate and open strategy, because Yunduan City is currently eager for investment, and no matter how powerful Tianmu City is, it is impossible for it to prohibit investment from being accepted here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziri nodded in satisfaction, patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said, "Chen Yu, I support you."

"Don't do that, Teacher Zhao. Why do you make me feel so creeped out?"
