Chapter 592 - 592 592 I Have a Suitable Candidate

592: Chapter 592 I Have a Suitable Candidate 592: Chapter 592 I Have a Suitable Candidate Although it seemed like there wasn’t much to gain, Zhao Guang was actually very pleased.

This transaction only cost him some aluminum alloy coins, which wasn’t a significant expense.

However, the land he acquired in exchange was vast.

Under normal circumstances, even if he had the funds to rent it, it would have been extremely difficult.

Now, it was rented to him for the maximum possible duration, and he even had the right of first refusal for lease renewals.

As long as he continued leasing, the land might as well have been his own.

As for the restriction that the land could only be used for cultivation, Zhao Guang wasn’t particularly concerned.

Even with a large amount of grain cultivation, there was still a shortage of food on his own territory, especially with the recent rapid population growth.

With the base industries lagging, even with Otherworld’s production capabilities, it was hard to keep up.

Next, there might be an even faster increase.

Having so much land as a cover now, he wouldn’t have problems purchasing large quantities of grain.

Once the crops were harvested, it wouldn’t be an issue to secretly consume some of it either.

“Right, get me to acquire a distillery later.

We can’t waste all this grain,” he said.

Ye Zhi nodded but said nothing, her grandfather was still listening.

“Do you have someone suitable to send over?”

Zhao Guang shook his head; he wasn’t aware of any talents under his command.

“I’ll ask Jiajia later to find someone suitable for me,” he said.

Hu Yan had done well before, and he was recommended by Liu Jiayin.

But Ye Zhi felt a pang of worry; one couldn’t use people recommended by Liu Jiayin.

Although they were certainly capable, they were ultimately not thoroughly vetted.

If it were just about controlling a company or so much land, it wouldn’t be too much of a concern, but the problem was that during the initial phase, constant transfer of the land was necessary, and the less outsiders knew, the better.

If too many knew, it could arouse suspicion from the outside.

Taking over so much land without a known source of funds and with the cooperation of national personnel…

If such matters were exposed, one couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be any problems, so a replacement was necessary.

“I have a suitable candidate who might be worth a try.”

“Who is it?” Zhao Guang was quite interested.

Coming from the well-connected Ye Zhi, if she thought the person suitable, they might be indeed quite fitting.

“Bai Yao, you know him.”

“Oh, you mean your…

‘admirer’, your neighbor,” he said.

You almost said “bootlicker” just now, didn’t you, Ye Zhi glanced at Zhao Guang.

Although that was indeed the case, the person had already given up.

And why did they?

It was all because of this unpredictable guy.

Really now, he still hadn’t shown any signs up to this moment, which was quite frustrating.

“Yes, that’s him, his abilities are indeed strong in all aspects.”

“Wait a minute, I remember Bai Yao was preparing to take the political path, how would working here be suitable for him?” Even if he were to join an enterprise, someone like Bai Yao would have likely joined a state-owned company.

Ye Zhi said indifferently, “It’s precisely because he’s taking that path that sending him over is the right move.”

“The country is now looking to revive the development in the northeast region.

You have to understand, that area is very important.

Just imagine, so much land, no longer abandoned but used to grow vast amounts of grain, what a great political achievement that would be.”

Zhao Guang understood, “So it’s just a nominal appointment.”

“Exactly, after this period of time, eventually, they will train someone capable of taking over for you.”

Zhao Guang understood.

This matter was indeed too significant; it seemed the higher-ups couldn’t possibly monitor it without restraint.

But it didn’t bother him; apart from cultivating some unique items, he really had nothing to hide.

“But, speaking of which, Fang Gui would also be suitable, wouldn’t he?”

Fang Gui used to be Ye Zhi’s respected big brother, though now he, like Bai Yao, had given up.

“Indeed he would be, but it’s a bit late for that, Brother Fang Gui has other placements already,”

As for where exactly Fang Gui was placed, Ye Zhi did not say and Zhao Guang did not ask.

After all, at their level, some matters were truly confidential, and knowing too much was not good for others around them.

“Then let it be.

I’ll leave the following matters to you,” he said.

“I know.

I’m truly born to toil,” Ye Zhi sighed.

Since she began following Zhao Guang, there hadn’t been a shortage of work, busier than ever before.

Then, everyone started to chat casually, watching the vehicles coming and going repeatedly.

After several trips, the gold was finally transported away.

Qu City looked much better than before at this time.

But Zhao Guang sniffed, aware that Qu City had actually taken the “Heart-saving Pills.”

Originally, they didn’t have this problem; what a grave mistake.

“Well, if that’s everything, I’ll be leaving first.

Next time there’s a situation like this, give me a rough estimate of the amount in advance, so I can prepare,” he said.

Who could have imagined he would one day be overwhelmed.

By this time, the gold had been accounted for — over one thousand five hundred tons, more than initially estimated.

This was more than half of the country’s gold reserves, a truly frightening amount.

All this gold, if not managed properly, could cost him his head.

Originally, it was supposed to be a minor issue, but who would have guessed this kid could cause such a fuss?

He couldn’t handle it anymore; he thought to himself whether he should resign when he returned to Qu City.

“I’ll walk you out,” said Zhao Guang to Qu City.

“No need, I’d rather walk on my own, it’s more comfortable,” Qu City declined.

After leaving Zhao Guang’s warehouse area, Qu City felt much more at ease.

No, after this incident was over, he must apply for a vacation and take proper care of his health.

Meanwhile, watching these people leave, Zhao Guang turned to those brought by others.

These people didn’t dare to come anywhere near before, staying far away, not daring to look at anything.

They all acted as if they were cunning, aware that this operation was no trivial matter.

Only when Zhao Guang called them did they dare to return.

“Haha, Mr.

Zhao, shall we start?” a few of them laughed at Zhao Guang, with somewhat ingratiating smiles.

This man was indeed no simple character; just one phone call and he could connect to heaven.

“Indeed, it’s now your turn to work, as usual.

Everything is over there,” Zhao Guang waved his hand and the others followed.

Gemstones didn’t have strategic significance for the nation, but for them, it was a different matter.

Ultimately, gemstones and gold had to be converted into money to be useful.
