Chapter 122: Chapter 96: Are These People Really Migrant Workers?

"Who is this fucking idiot? Trying to work us construction guys like cattle?"

"A 2,000-acre campsite in half a month for 50 million? Under your conditions, only a ghost would work for you!"

"Another clueless layman looking for a sucker construction crew!"

"Who’s going to be his sucker in this day and age? My company is blacklisting Kailin Investment. We’d never take a job from a company like that. They’d just complain about every little thing!"

"My company is blacklisting them too!"

Zhao Neng stared at the comments on the construction contracting website, his mouth hanging open. He was a bit stunned. He’d expected to see a flood of companies bidding for the job this morning, competing with each other.

But now he was being ridiculed by everyone?

Even the ones saying they were blacklisting him were well-known construction companies.

This...

’Did I misjudge those construction crews yesterday? Is it possible that the crew Li Yuan Farm hired is just not normal? Or maybe Li Yuan Farm paid some unimaginable price, hiring several times the usual number of workers?’

That had to be the only explanation.

’So what do I do now? Offer more money and have Chen Hu and the others keep looking for people?’

The original cost was over 50 million, but after a series of price increases, the budget for the 2,000-acre campsite had already climbed past 60 million.

But when he thought about the construction speed of Li Yuan Farm’s campsite, he felt helpless. If he didn’t take action, he’d lose his chance to crush them with capital later on.

He was caught in a difficult position, unsure whether to push forward or retreat.

Finally, he gritted his teeth. He pulled Chen Hu and the others into a WeChat group and sent a message directly: "I just want the campsite’s progress to keep up with Li Yuan Farm’s. I can add more money. Calculate a new price for me."

After sending the message, Zhao Neng sighed dejectedly. This way, there was no telling how much higher the cost would climb.

Just then, his assistant rushed in, holding out a phone with a video playing. "Boss, you have to see this video! It’s about Li Yuan Farm!"

Zhao Neng frowned and watched the video. It was about Li Yuan Farm’s rapeseed Flower Sea.

"The blooming season for Li Yuan Farm’s rapeseed Flower Sea is almost over. The plants are already beginning to form rapeseed pods. Once the Flower Sea attraction is gone, Li Yuan Farm will lose one of its special features. From the looks of it, Li Yuan Farm has no plans to develop any other flower seas..."

Seeing this, Zhao Neng’s eyes lit up. He understood what his assistant was getting at.

His rival was about to lose its rapeseed Flower Sea.

’If another type of flower sea appeared right next door at this exact moment, what would the tourists do? They’d definitely be drawn to it.’

It was no longer possible to finish the campsite first. He’d be lucky just to match Li Yuan Farm’s construction schedule and preserve his chance to crush them with capital.

This news, however, was a silver lining, presenting him with a new opportunity.

Even though he’d spent over 60 million leasing the land, and even though the campsite’s cost was set to exceed 60 million by a large margin, Kailin Investment would still have over 50 million left in its accounts.

Building a flower sea was nothing; he had more than enough money for that.

With the remaining money, plus another loan from the bank, he would still have enough to crush his rival at all costs once the campsite was finished.

That way, just as his rival’s rapeseed Flower Sea was ending its season, he would have a new flower sea of his own—another weapon in his arsenal.

Zhao Neng immediately said to his assistant, "Quick, contact a flower sea design team. Have them design a 500-acre flower sea for me. I want to get one built at top speed, and it has to be the best of the best."

"Yes, Boss!" The assistant nodded and got to work with utmost speed.

When he returned to Zhao Neng, he was already holding a proposal. "Boss, I found the most famous flower sea design team in the country. They’ve designed a purple Meadow Sage Flower Sea for us. As long as we provide enough workers and cover the cost of ordering fully-grown meadow sage, they have a way to build this flower sea for us in the shortest possible time."

"However, the cost will be high. It should be around 20 million."

"Give them the money. Sign the online contract with them immediately and wire the deposit. I want them here to start work right away." Zhao Neng didn’t hesitate for a second. Once he decided on a project or plan, he was always this decisive.

Because he knew that hesitation would mean missing his chance. It would mean defeat.
