Chapter 1045: Chapter 922 The Conspiracy Revealed

When Tovesky truly showed his hand, unwilling to negotiate with the property owners any further, the property owners were left dumbfounded.

All they had wanted by forming a united front and causing trouble was to get a little more compensation.

In the end, the situation escalated to the point where they were no longer considering demolishing the block, instead deciding to re-plan the CBD Area to bypass it entirely.

Then none of them would get a single penny!

So, after Dania relayed the news back, there was discord among the property owners, and many immediately began to blame Dania, saying it was her insatiable greed and exorbitant demands that had led to the breakdown of the negotiations, leaving everyone empty-handed.

"See! I told you that the Government Department would never agree to such ridiculous demands! The original compensation plan was already very generous, but you weren’t satisfied and wanted to shoot for the moon. Now look, we won’t get a penny!"

"Exactly, I had already signed the compensation contract at the beginning, but Dania insisted it wasn’t good enough and that she could get us a better deal."

"What do we do now, then? Are we really just going to part ways and stop talking?"

"I think that the five thousand US dollars per square meter offered last time was already high. With that compensation, you could choose any commodity house in Moscow, as long as it’s not a luxury house."

These property owners were obviously full of resentment towards Dania and wanted to compromise, accepting the working group’s final terms.

Moreover, the majority of all the property owners shared this sentiment.

After all, they were ordinary people, seeing the "fat meat" in front of them about to fly away, and of course, some were anxious.

However, there were also some other property owners who, even now, still firmly stood with Dania.

"I think now, more than ever, we can’t back down! It’s a test of patience to see which side can last longer. They say they have a backup plan, but if it’s a backup, evidently it’s not as good as the first one. If they had a choice, they would still want to demolish our block."

"Yes, I also think Tovesky is trying to scare us. Maybe if we hang on just a little bit longer, they’ll break and buckle under the pressure."

"Let’s not fall into disarray. The more critical the moment, the more we need to stand united and present a joint front. That’s the only way to show them our resolve..."

Seeing the chaos at the scene, Dania wasn’t panic-stricken.

It could be said that all of this was part of her plan, she had never expected to achieve her aim smoothly.

Dania knew very well that the compensation proposal she had come up with last time would never be accepted by the Government!

It was not a matter of how much money was involved, but rather that a precedent like this could not be set!

If this precedent were established, then the Government would be at a disadvantage in similar projects in the future.

Any residents facing demolition would naturally follow suit, making outrageous demands, and who could bear that?

Thus, when Dania proposed that compensation plan last time, she was already prepared for rejection.

Everything now was unfolding according to her "script", none of it a surprise to her...

......

Seeing everyone arguing heatedly, Dania stood up, clapped her hands, and spoke loudly:

"Everyone quiet down!

Fighting among ourselves is useless; we should discuss what to do next.

Regarding this, I have an idea, and I ask you to hear me out."

The crowd gradually quieted down, still interspersed with some dissatisfied murmurs from the property owners.

But everyone understood that they were like grasshoppers on a string, having to move forward together. Either they would reach an agreement and all undergo relocation, or the negotiations would fall through, and nobody would move.

It certainly wasn’t possible for some to get compensation while others were left behind as intractable holdouts—it was clearly impossible, and the Government working group wouldn’t agree to that.

After everyone had quieted down, Dania continued:

"You’ve probably all realized by now that Tovesky has laid his cards on the table. Their bottom line is to compensate us only five thousand US dollars per square meter, no property swaps, no rent subsidies!

They’re confident, believing that we will surely back down.

Because they have an alternative plan, they can easily bypass our block and continue with the CBD redevelopment.

What should we do?

We are out of options now; we must stand our ground!

Talking with Tovesky is no longer beneficial because he’s just an executor and can’t make the final decisions.

So we must direct our appeals to the real decision-makers, to those who can feel the pressure!

The real decision-maker is a name we all know—it’s Deputy Speaker Mikhail!"

At this point, the room buzzed with surprise.

The name "Mikhail" was, of course, familiar to everyone, and often seen on television and in magazines bearing news about him.

The CBD Planning Proposal was rumored to be his brainchild.

Clearly, he was a real Big Shot!

The property owners present were mostly ordinary citizens, who naturally felt a "distance" from such influential figures and had no opportunity to interact with them under normal circumstances.

Now that Dania was talking about bringing pressure and appeals to Mikhail, what did she mean by that...
