Chapter 479 Moving

“Huh?”

For a moment, Xie Jinshui failed to understand what Mu Beihai was implying by saying those baffling words. Did he want to buy the street and the surrounding area?

They were in the shantytown area and there was the property value of the street…

All of a sudden, Xie Jinshui stumbled upon the truth.

As he stood on the side, Qin Duhuang pulled a long face when he heard Mu Beihai’s request. Qin Duhuang had also thought of this idea but he didn’t say it out loud. He planned to leave and privately buy the streets afterward. It never occurred to him that the fool Mu Beihai would also think of this idea, and he was asking the Mayor directly! Mu Beihai was one step ahead!

Zhou Tianlin and Liu Tianzong soon understood why Mu Beihai was asking this. Both became angry.

Buying the nearby properties?

Mu Beihai was saying that he wanted to be as close to Su Ping as possible!

Su Ping said that he would follow the rules of “first come, first served” in the store. But no one could tell when Su Ping would sell pets like this again in the future. Naturally, those who lived closer could get there faster!

If the entire neighborhood belonged to the Mu family in the future, they would always be the first to get the pets that Su Ping put on sale! What a cunning little man! the others swore inwardly.

Mu Beihai could easily tell that the other family heads didn’t look happy but he didn’t mind. You all have yourselves to blame for being too dumb.

Mu Beihai cast a glance at Qin Duhuang. Finally, he was one step ahead of that old, sly fox.

“Sir, I’m also buying the properties on the street as well!” Zhou Tianlin interrupted. The Zhou family couldn’t afford to lag behind again!

He failed to get the pets. If he failed to get the street, then he could just quit.

And be done with everything!

Since the idiotic Mu Beihai had put everything on the table, Qin Duhuang knew that solving the problem privately was no longer a choice. He had to join in the conversation. “Sir, the Qin family is willing to trade with the most prosperous Lakeside Street from the uptown area!”

Lakeside Street was a very busy commercial street and people would call it a street made of gold because an inch of land was valued as an inch of gold. Even a small store on that street could be sold at tens of millions, more than enough to buy half of the Taohuaxi Street. But Qin Duhuang was actually willing to buy Taohuaxi Street at the expense of the entire Lakeside Street!

The onlookers eyed Qin Duhuang as if he were a lunatic.

Of course, the onlookers didn’t know that the Lakeside Street belonged to that old man before it was revealed this day.

Before this day, no one could anticipate that the old man would go nuts and offer to trade the street of gold that everyone had heard of in exchange of the street that they were standing in!

That was insane!

Mu Beihai and the other family heads were equally stunned. Soon, they came to the understanding that the Qin family was not losing anything even by doing so!

Money could never compare with power!

Power was the true enabler for people to make money!

Anyone who could buy off Su Ping’s pets on sale, even if at the cost of all his or her money, could always make more money once said person became stronger!

“Sir, the Mu family will buy the street with the ‘Tianchen Group’ and the ‘Xingsheng Group’!” Mu Beihai filed his teeth.

The onlookers once again were completely astonished.

Everyone in the base city had heard about the Tianchen and Xingsheng Groups. Both were super enterprises where even millionaires were considered mere salary men!

The two groups belonged to that old man?

He was going to trade the street with the two groups? For a moment, the onlookers felt a burning sensation from their feet set on the ground.

It was like they were standing on warm gold.

Xie Jinshui didn’t expect that the two of them would make such a generous offer, either.

Zhou Tianlin and the other family heads joined the bidding as well. No one was willing to back down.

All of them had realized that they were at a critical moment that could decide the success or failure of their families. That was a strategic move. If they flinched just because they didn’t want to spend the money, they would spend the rest of their lives wallowing in regret!

Xie Jinshui could not bear the sight of the family heads contending so fiercely. The point was, he was interested in that idea as well. He would rather save the street for himself than selling it to those families.

He could move the government office there.

“Brother Xie, we’ve known each other for years. I will make a higher offer than any one of them can! Give me the street!” Qin Duhuang began to play the friendship card.

Mu Beihai sneered. “To hell with knowing each other for years. Brother Xie and I once peed together. Brother Xie, let me have the street. I will promise you that I’ll never say a word about certain matters.”

Xie Jinshui rolled his eyes at him. Listen to those words, so misleading.

“Brother Xie, you went to my grandson’s one year old birthday party. Do you really have the heart to see the Zhou family go down?” Zhou Tianlin chimed in.

“Brother Xie, we became relatives after our kids’ marriage. If you cannot make a decision, how about you go and ask your daughter?” the Ye family head reminded Xie Jinshui.

Xie Jinshui felt his head was buzzing.

“Anyway, we will talk about it later.” Xie Jinshui waved his hand. “We are speaking in a public space and all of you guys enjoy a high status in society. You’re forgetting yourselves.”

“Forget about forgetting myself. I can be a pervert if that’s the price I have to pay,” Mu Beihai claimed.

Xie Jinshui: “…”

Qin Duhuang and the others cast a look of disbelief at Mu Beihai. Really? That far?!

It seemed that Mu Beihai was indeed pushed into a corner.

“Brother Xie, we must all be here and we must talk it out!” Liu Tianzong said. He knew that the Liu family was currently the weakest of the five families after giving away half of their family assets. The other four families would have eaten up the Liu family without spitting out the bones if it weren’t for the fact that he still had his powers and the cornerstones of the Liu family were still there.

Liu Tianzong decided to drag everyone down with him, fully aware that he wasn’t able to compete with the other four families. Buying the street was unlikely for Liu Tianzong at the moment. He just wanted to get one house there. Liu Tianzong’s words made the others swear at him, but of course, they kept the swearing to themselves. Still, they didn’t say anything against it because no one was confident to arrive at a positive result if they had to talk to Xie Jinshui privately and separately.

“Sure.”

Xie Jinshui nodded. “Let’s find a time tonight to talk about it.”

“Good.”

They all nodded in agreement. The houses and buildings in the area had their owners, but the family heads didn’t go to the owners, deciding to talk directly to Xie Jinshui instead. The reason was that Xie Jinshui was the owner of the street; he could take the buildings back, as long as he decided to be shameless enough.

Therefore, talking to Xie Jinshui would be the most straightforward solution.

“Mr. Su, sorry about that,” Xie Jinshui said to Su Ping with a smile since the family heads were mollified.

Su Ping smiled. “I won’t laugh at them.”

Xie Jinshui replied with a smile. He actually understood why Qin Duhuang and the other family heads were acting like that. It wasn’t easy for any of them to run a big family.

“Goodbye, Mr. Su.” Since no more pets were on sale, it was pointless to prolong his stay there.

Su Ping nodded.

Xie Jinshui walked away.

The onlookers watched as the mayor left. When everyone made their way over this day, no one would have expected that a pet sale from that store would alert the mayor. The titled old men that arrived flying on those huge birds were all more powerful than they could have ever imagined. Qin Duhuang, Mu Beihai and the other family heads had been maintaining a low-key status. They weren’t even as well known as some third-rate stars; it was natural that the onlookers didn’t recognize them.

Of course, those that did know the family heads didn’t count as common folk, either. They would have to have some sort of connection with titled battle pet warriors.

“Mr. Su, I’m going to take off.” Mu Beihai said. He had to go back and get ready.

Su Ping nodded.

Zhou Tianlin and Liu Tianzong also bid farewell to Su Ping one after another and left in a hurry.

Qin Duhuang said to Su Ping, “Mr. Su, I won’t waste time to say thank you again. I will remember your kindness even if you don’t mind.”

Su Ping answered, “Mr. Qin, you flatter me. You’re a famous battle pet warrior and I have so much to learn from you.”

“Mr. Su, you’re the one flattering me.” Then, Qin Duhuang left in a haste. He had to go back and discuss with the family about how to get the buildings that were near Su Ping’s store. He had to get a good spot. After all, a person in a favorable position would gain special advantages.
