High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Xu Feng's words immediately stunned the entrepreneurs present.

To be honest, while there aren't many companies in the Great Xia with over 100 billion yuan in capital, they certainly aren't a minority either.

There are at least a hundred or so.

There are also many companies supported by martial god families. Although their funds do not reach the hundreds of billions, as long as those martial god families provide the funds, they can immediately obtain the qualification to enter the market.

This was a once-in-a-century opportunity to trade with the Black Soil Tribe, and these entrepreneurs certainly didn't want to lose this rare chance simply because they had angered Li Mo.

Li Mo clearly wanted to leech off these capitalists, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

They even fought tooth and nail for the right to move into the commercial district.

At this moment, Li Mo glanced at everyone present and said domineeringly, "This is the plan for the commercial district. I have said all I need to say. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Upon hearing this, the capitalists present finally remembered Li Mo's nickname, "Demon King." Li Mo dared to take action against even those prominent figures in the political world, let alone them, who had little power.

Li Mo is not someone who can be manipulated by capital at will.

On the contrary, he firmly controlled the military forces throughout the Mississippi Mountain region, making him an absolute ruler in this area.

The CEO who had just dared to question Li Mo immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The CEO quickly explained, "Mayor Li, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that we need time to raise funds, and the auction slots you mentioned must be fair, open, and based on competitive bidding! Give us time to raise the funds!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this CEO was panicking and talking nonsense. Just moments ago, he was opposing Li Mo's proposal to auction off the quotas and increase commercial taxes, but now he was saying that he needed time to raise funds.

The officers attending the meeting almost burst out laughing.

Li Mo nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll give you time to prepare. Even at the fastest pace, it's estimated that the commercial district will take at least three months to complete. Three months is plenty of time for you to move the group's headquarters here. Are you worried about not having enough time?"

After explaining the specifics of the commercial district, Li Mo began to introduce the other two major aspects of his urban planning.

In addition to the mining and commercial areas, Li Mo also plans to build a large upscale residential area near a lake in the Mississippi Mountains.

This upscale residential area was built to make money.

It's important to know that places like the Mississippi Mountains are actually very suitable for living after the spiritual energy has been restored. Once the city is built, the prices of high-end residential areas here will certainly not be much lower than those in the capital of Great Xia.

Li Mo wouldn't leave such a piece of land unused.

Of course, all of these high-end residential areas were built with government funding, and Li Mo promised everyone that he would use the proceeds from their sale to build a large number of civilian residences on the remaining land in the Mississippi Mountains.

These affordable homes will be very cheap, and if people are willing to stay in the Mississippi Mountains long-term or register their household registration here, these affordable homes can even be allocated for free!

Upon hearing this, the worker representatives present immediately beamed with joy.

Since the revival of spiritual energy, housing prices across the Great Xia have skyrocketed.

In order to defend against the alien beasts, the concept of rural areas and cities no longer exists. Everyone must live within the main city to prevent attacks from the alien beasts.

The consequence of this was that Daxia had to undergo full-scale urbanization, which in turn caused housing prices to soar.

Let alone the capital of Great Xia, even the housing prices in any second-tier main city are prohibitive for most people.

Most people have no choice but to live in government-provided low-rent housing, similar to the slums where Li Mo used to live.

Therefore, Li Mo's policy can be said to be very beneficial to the common people in the Mississippi Mountains.

"Mayor Li, why didn't you say so sooner! Many of my brothers were hesitant about coming here! If you had told me about this policy earlier, they would have definitely brought their families!"

"Yes! Mayor Li, even if you didn't allocate it for free, or even just lower the price, we would be willing to stay here and work on the construction!"

Li Mo's treatment of capital and ordinary people is worlds apart.

Because Li Mo deeply understood that the construction of this city needed these ordinary workers, and as for capital, it was only needed for their funds to operate.

Next up is the last area that Li Mo planned.

To be honest, none of the mining area, commercial area, or high-end residential area are as important as the fourth area planned by Li Mo.

The last area that Li Mo planned should not have existed originally, but it is precisely because there is one more person in this city that this area has become so crucial!

And this person was Chen Xingbian!

Don't forget that he was the first scientist of humankind to truly have epoch-making significance, and his status is in no way inferior to those top physicists who went down in history before the revival of spiritual energy.

He developed a small reactor that can efficiently utilize stellar energy.

This has allowed humanity to evolve from the age of electricity to the current age of stellar energy.

He also laid the foundation for modern weapons science!

At the same time, he is also one of the top scientists in the field of quantum mechanics.

Therefore, the last area designed by Li Mo is the science and technology research and development area.

Once upon a time, Great Xia was the forefront of the world's technology, but since Chen Xingbian disappeared, this leading position has been gradually replaced by the White European Empire.

Now that he's back, Li Mo can't possibly let such a talented person go to waste.

Moreover, given Chen Xingbian's renowned reputation, he is essentially a living business card for the scientific community. If he were to take the lead, it would undoubtedly bring together top scholars from all over the world.

In the future, Li Mo will surely take back this status of cutting-edge science from the White European Empire.

Chen Xingbian was now sitting at the conference table, opposite Li Mo. Li Mo earnestly pleaded with him, "Senior Chen, I'm entrusting everything to you!"

Chen Xingbian was actually the most afraid of trouble. The reason he chose to work under Li Mo was because the Mississippi Mountains were far away from Great Xia, allowing him to find some peace and quiet.

In other words, he can disappear at any time.

But Li Mo's words were tantamount to binding him deeply.

Therefore, Chen Xingbian couldn't help but give a wry smile upon hearing this: "You kid..."

Chen Xingbian was not only responsible for the absolute security of the Mississippi Mountains, but also for scientific and technological research and development, which was equivalent to being the chief engineer. Li Mo was making the most of his value.

Of course, given Chen Xingbian's strength, he would have no choice but to refuse Li Mo.

But Chen Xingbian didn't hesitate for long before saying, "Okay! I agree, but let me make it clear from the beginning: I need complete autonomy over technological research and development, and no one is allowed to interfere!"
