Chapter 855: Chapter 855: How Do You Want Me to Handle This?

After everything was discussed, they proceeded to the next phase.

Zhao Guang realized that he had underestimated the vastness of his country’s land; the desert area was far larger than he imagined.

Originally, he thought that after acquiring the desert, he could still buy a lot of land, but even the desert wasn’t enough.

That’s right, although he had already paid quite a lot, he still couldn’t buy the whole desert at the lowest price. Of course, Zhao Guang insisted on that price, and initially, they didn’t demand so much.

There’s no choice, that desert area is basically useless and could only be filled with money.

Now, since someone was willing to take on this task, the country couldn’t be happier, so they surely wouldn’t stand in his way.

The final result was that other land was out of reach, and Zhao Guang rented the entire Taklamakan Desert for five thousand tons of gold. It was a vast no-man’s land with no natural environment worth protecting.

The term of the lease was even given significant flexibility, adjusted directly to two hundred years.

This timeline surprised Zhao Guang; it was almost no different than selling the desert to him.

Unlike foreign countries where taxes are required, here there’s no fixed asset tax.

Of course, there was only one requirement from above, which was to carry out greening on this land. Zhao Guang would do that anyway. In fact, it was because they trusted Zhao Guang; otherwise, why would they give it to him?

Their team was exceptionally skilled in plant research and improvement.

Next, Zhao Guang not only brought in five thousand tons of gold, but with more resources on hand, he brought even more. All items arrived within three days.

It took an entire day to transport all the gold.

Fortunately, otherwise, there would really be no way to do it so quietly.

Because he provided more gold, Zhao Guang exchanged a large amount of farmland from the northeast region. There were too many abandoned places here due to the small population, so renting wasn’t a troublesome affair.

The next step was managing these lands and hiring manpower for planting.

The general crops, while regulated by the state, didn’t earn much.

But besides food crops, he could plant other things, which could be high-value-added items.

For instance, some herbs needed for his medications could be planted in these places, especially those that need the Micro Magic Domain; he could place them wherever he wanted.

Those medications could even be grown in his domain, so in better environments, it would be easier.

However, when Liu Jiayin heard this news, he was full of disbelief.

“How am I supposed to manage this?” Liu Jiayin widened his eyes, as if staring at an evil capitalist.

“What do you mean, just manage it the same way as before.”

“Easy for you to say. Do you know how much I have to deal with now? Just handling one expensive province is troublesome enough, and you want me to run around other places? And what about sales channels for such a huge industry; resolving this one issue isn’t easy.”

“No worries, even if you lose, it’s just a way to train your capabilities.”

“You make it sound so easy.” Liu Jiayin rolled his eyes in annoyance at Zhao Guang.

He believed in Zhao Guang, but didn’t have faith in himself; didn’t Zhao Guang know his own limits? Managing one province was already making him hectic, and now he had to take on even more places.

And then there’s that huge desert; Zhao Guang surely wouldn’t just let it sit idle after buying it.

He surely had other plans for that area, which was even larger than the expensive province.

“If you can’t handle it, let someone else manage it. I can’t handle so much. The road and bridge construction in the expensive province is already troublesome, I don’t have that much time.”

“Isn’t it finished yet; is it wasting so much time?” Zhao Guang was a bit puzzled.

“Our company hasn’t been established for long. You’re developing quickly, but not everyone can be that fast. Things like road construction can’t be rushed; you think the country hasn’t been building infrastructure for many years.”

Zhao Guang chuckled awkwardly; indeed, it seemed he overlooked too many things.

“If it really doesn’t work out, how about you train a few people to use?”

“Why don’t you train some people; are you comfortable letting others handle such big things?”

“Of course.” Zhao Guang said naturally. As for training himself, no way. His network on Earth was too small; he practically used up everyone he knew.

As for relatives or old classmates wanting to cozy up to him, their abilities were too lacking.

These people had neither significant capabilities nor familiar relations with him, and some even had other intentions in mind; how could he dare to use them?

“Given that situation, why don’t you just recruit people externally?”

“External people aren’t suitable, I can’t trust them.” Zhao Guang shrugged, honestly.

“You’re still so awkward even as a big boss; can’t you stop being like that?”

“I can’t help it, it’s a habit, and besides, I didn’t gain my skills from business.” Zhao Guang’s skills were mostly in research; at least here on Earth, that’s what everyone thinks.

It’s precisely his research ability and early mining ability that helped him develop step by step.

Liu Jiayin didn’t even need to ask how the desert was acquired; such a vast area couldn’t possibly be separated from relations above. If Zhao Guang hadn’t done something, there’s no way the authorities would do something so unbelievable.

That guy has risen too fast and too high; he couldn’t even see his shadow anymore.

“I’m short-handed here, if you want to find someone of your own, why not look for Sister Yanzi; she’s trained quite a few talented people under her. You could have Sister Yanzi oversee everything directly.”

“Is that really okay; after all, they’re not very familiar.”

You could see from Zhao Guang’s managers that regardless of their capabilities, they were basically acquaintances. If it weren’t for Zhao Guang’s irreplaceable abilities, with such a style, the company would have collapsed once it reached a certain size.

“Relax; there’s no problem. If it doesn’t work out, you can have oversight from above. With such a big project, there’s no way the authorities would feel totally comfortable with it, right?” Zhao Guang understood instantly.

People from above, in a way, are on the same side as him.

“If you had said this earlier, wouldn’t it have been fine? Okay, keep busy; I’m going to find my sister.” Zhao Guang waved his hand.
