Chapter 123: Chapter 97: Isn’t This Wishful Thinking?

The fact that Zhang Lin wanted to lease more land so soon was something Wei Yuan hadn’t expected at all. So, after helping Zhang Lin with the paperwork, he said in surprise, "Boss Zhang, it seems Kailin Investment isn’t a threat to you. I’m quite curious to see how Zhao Neng is going to handle the tens of thousands of acres he’s leased."

"I can just sublease it from them at a low price," Zhang Lin said with a smile.

"Then Boss Zhang is going to make a fortune!" Wei Yuan laughed as well, because what Boss Zhang said was likely how things would end up.

If Kailin Investment’s plan for those tens of thousands of acres failed and they couldn’t do anything about Li Yuan Farm, they definitely wouldn’t actually use the land to grow fruits and vegetables. In the end, their only option would be to sublease it.

And the only one who could, and would dare to, take it off their hands was Li Yuan Farm.

Otherwise, which of the other businesses in You City would be foolish enough to take over?

After all, even Kailin Investment, with its vast capital, had failed spectacularly.

By that point, however, Kailin Investment probably couldn’t be called ’capital-rich’ anymore. They were certain to lose their shirts on this venture.

After getting the lease contract for the new 500 acres, Zhang Lin immediately returned to the farm.

This new 500-acre plot was not far from the campsite. Once construction was complete, it would be perfectly positioned for people from the campsite to visit and admire the Seven-Color Flower Sea with the utmost convenience.

From there, they could follow the Seven-Color Flower Sea to the Bamboo Maze.

Of course, they could also go to the Bamboo Garden first, then the Bamboo Maze, then the Seven-Color Flower Sea, and finally return to the Seven-Color Flower Sea to rest.

Entering the prefabricated office, Zhang Lin turned his attention to the game in his mind and opened the Seven-Color Flower Sea construction scroll.

After a few actions, he received a game notification:

[Congratulations! You have spent 10,000,000 to build the Seven-Color Flower Sea. The Seven-Color Flower Sea is now under construction...]

...

Meanwhile, Zhao Neng had his driver take him and his assistant to Ming City.

The team he had contracted to create the Flower Sea was based in Ming City. He had already paid them a deposit, and now they wanted him to go to Ming City to inspect the meadow sage.

To create a Meadow Sage Flower Sea, the meadow sage itself was naturally the top priority. He had to personally select and order it, then sign purchase contracts with the cultivation bases.

In other words, he had to sign one contract with the design team and another procurement contract with the meadow sage plantation, paying a deposit to both parties.

The campsite project was already running into problems, so he was naturally placing great importance on this Flower Sea project. That’s why he had gone to Ming City at the first opportunity.

It had to be said, a flower sea made of vast patches of meadow sage was indeed very beautiful. After inspecting it for half a day, he was very satisfied with the Meadow Sage Flower Sea. He signed the contract with the plantation on the spot and then returned to You City with the Flower Sea design team.

The Flower Sea team his assistant had found was also very famous, with over a million fans online. They were known as "Vida, the Flower Sea Expert," and the person in charge was named Mavida.

Once the Flower Sea was built, he could use the team’s name for promotion, with a tagline like: "A Flower Sea Project Masterfully Crafted by the Famous Online Influencer and Flower Sea Expert, Mavida."

After arriving in You City, Zhao Neng hurriedly led Mavida’s team to the land he had leased.

To create the Meadow Sage Flower Sea, they first had to select a suitable location.

He had to get this Flower Sea built as quickly as possible.

But before they even reached the leased land, he suddenly saw truck after truck transporting flowers driving ahead of them.

The trucks were filled to the brim with flowers, dazzlingly colorful and incredibly vibrant.

"President Zhao, is someone else building a Flower Sea in You City?" Mavida asked in great surprise. The moment he saw the transport trucks, he had his suspicions.

Zhao Neng’s expression changed at his words. He subconsciously thought of Li Yuan Farm.

’No way.’

’Is Li Yuan Farm building a Flower Sea too?’

’Am I a step behind Li Yuan Farm again?’

Just then, his assistant in the passenger seat hurriedly handed him a phone with a video playing. "President Zhao, Li Yuan Farm has started building a Flower Sea, too! And they’ve already begun construction. A lot of tourists have been drawn to it."

Zhao Neng quickly looked at the video. It was clearly filmed by a tourist and showed numerous flower transport vehicles.

But the vehicles weren’t the main point. The point was that the video showed a construction site where a small area had already been covered with flowers.

Li Yuan Farm had really started building its Flower Sea, and had already laid out a patch of it. Meanwhile, his flowers had only just departed from Ming City.

"Damn it..." Zhao Neng couldn’t help but curse.

He felt like he was about to lose it.

He was behind again.

In that case, this Flower Sea project probably wouldn’t achieve the effect he wanted either.

With that thought, he quickly said to his assistant, "Contact Chairman Chu for me. We at Kailin Investment want to apply for a loan!"

Now, his only option was to wait until the campsite and Flower Sea were finished, then use his capital to go head-to-head with Li Yuan Farm.

The news that Li Yuan Farm was building a new Flower Sea did indeed spread online in a short amount of time, generating considerable buzz. After all, with truck after truck of flowers entering Li Yuan Farm, it was hard for tourists not to be captivated.

Zhang Lin’s attention, however, was on something else.

He looked at the description for the Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed Flower Seeds in his mind:

[Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed Flower Seeds: Quality 1]
