“What the heck! What the heck!” Ding Chengzhi swore twice in a row. “I shan’t say anything else. Tonight, big health care 1, my treat!”
“Treat your head! Hurry up, go and raise money!” Sheng Wenshi shouted. “The price for the houses there have only just started to rise—buy as many as you can. How much money can you earn being the chief editor of music? If you can throw a million or so in this time, you will get back 10 times the reward in just two to three years! Don’t forget the news broadcast two days ago that said the Nation will be going to develop the West Fourth Loop!”
“I’m not going to say anything else!” Ding Chengzhi’s forehead was full of sweat. “I’m going to raise money now! Right now!”
“I’m going too.” Sheng Wenshi said that and wanted to hang up. However, he suddenly remembered something. “Wait, wait, this news must be kept a secret! Must keep it a secret! Also, after you go back to the company, you must mention to the Director that we must collaborate with the Young Master! Definitely must!”
“I know, I know.” Ding Chengzhi wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. “We definitely must hug his thighs! I can imagine, now that the Black Tortoise has emerged, from the image in the video, it’s obvious that the Nation is planning to advertise heavily on it. We definitely must hug Young Master’s thighs tightly. This way, as long as we don’t commit any mistakes ourselves, we will definitely be able to obtain a lot of preferential treatment from the government policies! Hahaha, Old Sheng, it’s lucky that we had already starting hugging his thighs early! You’re unaware of how shocked I was just now. Young Master’s capabilities are really too frightening, it can’t be helped.”
“Haha, there’s no need for you to say that. The only thing we have to do now is to follow the Young Master’s footsteps closely! This way, Young Master will at least let us have a living.” Sheng Wenshi laughed loudly. “Luckily, Young Master is very kind and generous, he never intended to finish someone all the way. If not, I reckon we wouldn’t have any good days left to live. If he were like Liu Mingxin from the Liu Family, the type that will totally complete something once he started it, we would both have ended up terribly now.”
“Yes yes, let’s not discuss that now.” Ding Chengzhi said, “I’m going to try and raise money now, then I will hurry back and report to the company!”
“Me too, we have got to hurry!”

Tianjing City, Tianhai Real Estates Company.
The big conference room.
All of the management level personnel and the people from the sales department were here. There were as much as a hundred people sitting in this big conference room.
“How is the discussion about the land that I asked you to buy at the West Fourth Loop?” Director Li Yuanshou sat in front of the conference table, looking at an executive wearing a yellow suit. “Currently, there are policies for developing the land there. We have to be quick with getting the land there.” Li Yuanshou was about 50 years of age and wore a pair of round glasses. His hair was that of the old 2 to 8 split style and also kept a small mustache—on the upper lip.
“Currently, progress is still quite smooth.” Xiao Huang carefully reported. “Everything is still in discussions now, and discussions for that piece of land near Ye Lai Xiang is almost done. Our people are full of sincerity, I believe they will be moved by us. We should have news in the next few days.”
“Not bad, not bad at all.” Li Yuanshou smiled and said, “Once we have this piece of land and properly develop it, our company sales will be boosted by quite a bit. Oh my, after such a long time, the land at the West Fourth Loop that we weren’t concerned about at all has finally made some progress. It wasn’t easy at all!”
“Yes, once we get the land, our sales revenue will definitely raise a lot.” Seeing that Li Yuanshou was quite satisfied with the current progress, Xiao Huang was happy. This would be counted in his performance.
The other employees were quite satisfied too—they reckoned that it wouldn’t be long before they got a raise and a promotion.
Unfortunately, they were happy a bit too early...
A series of rapid knocking came from the entrance. Then, an executive in suits ran in, his head full of sweat. Once he saw them, he hurriedly said, “Director Li, we have a problem, we have got a huge problem!”
“What news caused you to be so flustered?” Li Yuanshou’s mood today was quite good, as he smiled and said, “You aren’t like this normally.”
“We have got very bad news, Director Li. You must stand firm it!” That executive said in a shaky voice.
“Hehe, say it. As long as we can get that piece of land in the West Fourth Loop, anything else isn’t a big deal anymore.” Li Yuanshou was very calm.
“Director Li...” That executive’s face was full of horror as he stammered. “The prodigal from the Hong Family... Hong Dali, he...”
“What about him?” Li Yuanshou’s face was full of curiosity. “Did that kid do something again?”
“Hong Dali, he...” The executive paused for a while before violently making up his mind and saying, “He got a huge turtle from I don’t where that’s being called the Black Tortoise and placed it in the West Fourth Loop’s Fengyuan Lake. Now, the West Fourth Loop’s popularity has risen greatly, and the seller of the land says he isn’t selling it anymore!”
Shiver! Endless shivering!
Hearing this news, Li Yuanshou slowly took down his glasses with trembling hands. He took in a deep breath and said in a desolate voice, “The normal employees, the duty officers, and the sales managers can all go out first...”
Seeing that the atmosphere wasn’t right, the conference room instantly went quiet. Then, those people that Li Yuanshou pointed out all left the room.
Once they left, Li Yuanshou threw the pen in his hand on the conference table, making a large *phat *sound. He loudly shouted, “I’m so angry!
“I’m so angry! I’m really so damn angry!
“This week, I bought 20 scratchcards and all of them were empty! But I tolerated it!”
Hearing the roaring sound coming from the conference room, the emotional female employees outside almost cried.
Li Yuanshou continued to roar. “It’s fine being unlucky, but who knew that I would be this unlucky! And that damned Hong Dali! He always causes this kind of strange and weird things to happen, I wish I could send him to see Stalin 1!” Because his name was Yuanshou 1, ever since he was sensible, he had always considered Stalin to be his arch-nemesis. If he said that he wanted to send someone to see Stalin, it means sending whoever that person was to hell...
“But Director Li!” Xiao Huang nervously said, “Without Hong Dali, the price of the land there might not rise at all...”
Li Yuanshou roared. “But with him, we can’t buy the land now! He’s a nuisance who’s interfered with us!”
After letting it out, he helplessly sat down on his chair, his head hung low. “I didn’t come to Hebei province just to get a pain in my balls. This place is really, really good.
“He is revolting on us, go and continue to discuss with him! You must get that land no matter what! If not, I will cut your stick that’s a hindrance to you away, then send 700,000 people to f*ck you to death! Go now!”
Xiao Huang’s head was full of sweat. “Yes!”

Tianjing City, Tianjing City enterprise headquarters.
“A huge gap. This is really a huge gap.” Liu Yihui sunk into the sofa and sighed. “That prodigal Hong Dali actually caused such a large scene. Now, his family can almost connect together all the land in the West Fourth Loop. And I helped in it too...” Liu Yihui pointed at his laptop’s monitor. “Originally, he only had a few isolated pieces of land here. But now, here, here, and here, these vital pieces of land that link together were sold to him from me.”
His subordinate softly said, “Director... Director Liu, don’t be too upset. Although he caused such a big scene, it still needs time for the prices of the land there to rise...”
“What has it got to do with whether the prices rise fast or not?” Liu Yihui’s face was sullen, and he helplessly said, “I sold those pieces of land for only 400 million yuan—that’s only the base price! I kept the land for two years and didn’t earn a single cent! The aim for doing that was to trap his cash flow, for my six projects! But the result? Look at how much loss we made!?”
“About... About five billion...” That person said. Once he said this figure, the entire office went silent.
They lost five billion when their business was worth only hundreds of million...
“Five billion? Not just that! Not just that!” Liu Yihui said, “According to the popularity of the West Fourth Loop now, the prices of the land there will fold ten plus times! Combined with the fact that the Hong Family had already bought almost all of the West Fourth Loop, its value can still increase! Plus, that prodigal Hong Dali is one who’s willing to spend money, regardless of its disadvantages or advantages...
“Ten plus time, ten plus times...
“Huge gap! This is really a huge gap!”

Once Big Turtle, the Black Tortoise, appeared, it instantly dominated the internet. Almost all of the media in the Nation was reporting on this matter. The enthusiasm of the citizens was constantly on the rise, and all of the employees in the companies worked as if they didn’t give any regard to their health anymore. Their efficiency was constantly on the rise, and their performances all shoot up too.
But obviously, the storm that Big Turtle the Black Tortoise caused had only just started.
...
“Hubby, let’s return back to our country.” Overseas, a Chinese immigrant was wheedling her husband. “Here, everything is inconvenient. It’s also hard to communicate with others. Most importantly, we can’t get along with the locals. There isn’t much point in staying here.”
“This...” The husband thought for a while and perplexedly said, “You know that the procedures will be very troublesome.”
“Of course, I know that.” The female continued to wheedle him. “But my relative there said that our Nations’s Black Tortoise has appeared. The situation back there now is very good. News of the Black Tortoise is all over the Nation. It will not be long before the economy there starts to flourish. This is a good chance. If we miss it, it will be hard for us to return next time.”
“The Black Tortoise? Are you for real? Let me take a look!” Her husband still couldn’t believe it.
He turned on the computer and went online. Very quickly, the sound of a news reporter came from it. “Hello, everyone. The Black Tortoise that just appeared in the world is currently in the Fengyuan Lake that’s behind me right now...”
“What the heck!” The previously hesitant husband instantly gave a classic swear—he instantly noticed that gigantic turtle head on the surface of Fengyuan Lake with just one look...
Five minutes later, the two of them were already starting to pack their luggage.
The female said, “Hubby, after we return, let’s just buy a house at the West Fourth Loop. Then, we shall find a better job, what do you think?”
The husband smiled and replied, “Sure, anything you say. By that time when we return, we should be able to make a good living too.”
...
After the video of the sacred beast, the Black Tortoise, was released, news of an economic boom was all over the internet. Numerous Chinese emigrants started coming back to invest and to find jobs. Numerous foreigners also swarmed towards Fengyuan Lake just to have a look at the legendary Heavenly State’s divine beast.
Numerous merchants instinctively rushed over to the West Fourth Loop to open a branch there. They opened one branch, two branches, three branches, ten branches... When they wanted to open more, there weren’t any shops left for sale anymore. Most of the land there was in the hands of Hong Family’s Hong Weiguo...
But regardless of the case, the economic boom of Heavenly State, because of a seemingly ridiculous reason, had arrived!
