The Empress Is Gigolo 716 Planning

21 days had pa.s.sed by the time he returned to Earth again, and he received a piece of news the moment he returned. The location of Wuji City had been decided.

Initially, there were a few options for the location of Wuji City. One was the huge steppe in the north, while the other was the plateau in the west. It was easier to prevent ordinary people from entering these locations.

However, both locations were rejected by Ren Baqian.

At such spa.r.s.ely populated locations, a random nuclear warhead experiment could obliterate the entire city.

Even though this was highly unlikely to happen, it had to be prevented.

Under Ren Baqian's strong request, they set the location of Wuji City near Jiang City in the densely populated Jiangnan region.

With its rough location decided, it would be much easier to decide its exact location in the future. However, Ren Baqian was rather surprised that they were able to set the exact location so quickly and in just 21 days.

After all, this was a new city! Besides, it was a special city that was meant to keep ordinary people out.

There were many factors that need to be considered, such as the traffic, the environment, the surrounding cities, the impact toward civilians, etc.

This made Ren Baqian certain about what he had felt initially, that they had already planned for this long ago and that it wasn't something that was decided at the last moment.

They had even sent him the blueprint of the city.

Ren Baqian owned a plot of land in the proposed site of Wuji City. It was near the city center and was roughly one square kilometer in size.

On the blueprint, Wuji City occupied more than 300 square kilometers of land, it could accommodate thousands of people, and it was intended to be the smallest super-city of the future.

He could infer from this that the value of this one square kilometer of land would reach a monstrous amount in the future.

Even though one square kilometer of land didn't sound like much, it had a lease tenure of 300 years. Its length and width were exactly 1,000 meters, equivalent to 140 standard football fields. It was up to him to build mansions, skysc.r.a.pers, apartments, or shopping malls on this plot of land.

There were also large amounts of infrastructure, such as roads, schools, parks, and hospitals in the 300 square kilometers of land allocated for Wuji City.

Aside from this, there was also something special about Wuji City. There would be walls surrounding the entire city.

The purpose of having walls in ancient times was to resist wild animal attacks and enemy invasions. Such occasions were far and few between in modern peacetime society.

However, for the ease of management and also to keep the ordinary people away, Wuji City was designed to be surrounded by city walls.

There would be 20 meter tall walls surrounding all of Wuji City, isolating the city from the outside world.

Ren Baqian looked at the blueprint for more than two days before eventually choosing a plot of land and returning it to them.

He reckoned that with the nation's abilities, it would take at least three years for them to build this city from scratch and complete the majority of the facilities.

This would translate to about a year in Dayao.

Plus, it would fall just after his wedding with the empress.

However, before the construction process began, he probably ought to start doing something with his plot of land.

According to his idea, he would use a portion of the land to build a mansion and another portion to build a martial arts center. The remaining land would be used to build a commercial and residential mixed-use project.

When he called for Ren Wannian and Ding Jie, they felt like laughing out loud the moment they saw him.

There were scratch marks all over Ren Baqian's face.

They weren't sure if he was scratched by the lady who looked like a G.o.ddess, and they couldn't figure out why she would scratch him.

Only Ren Baqian knew that it was the b.i.+.c.hi that had scratched him when he arrived.

That b.a.s.t.a.r.d seemed to bear a grudge against him and scratched him the moment it saw him.

He was simply trying to determine its gender!

Sooner or later, Ren Baqian would find an opportunity to sort it out.

He first asked them about their current situation. Ding Jie was already in his third year of university and had already grown pretty lofty. He had experienced more things over the last three years than in all his previous years combined. He had grown a lot more mature, capable, and experienced in the way he spoke and did things.

It was the same for Ren Wannian.

Ren Baqian projected a blueprint on the wall.

"Take a look at this blueprint!"

"What's this? Boss, are you going into real estate? Which city is this?" Ding Jie looked carefully at the blueprint on the wall and managed to derive some information. During these past few years, apart from his own academic discipline, he had also studied many other things.

After all, unlike other students, he knew what the future would bring.

Learning about more things was definitely beneficial for him as this would allow the boss to be more impressed with him.

"This is the blueprint of a new city," Ren Baqian explained unhurriedly as he sat on the sofa with a cup of tea.

"Both of you have practiced the [Ninth Set of Initial Stage Cultivation] and naturally know about the benefits of this style of martial arts."

The duo looked at each other and nodded.

"There will be changes in the future. A new branch will diverge for the future of mankind and new options will be available. Not only will we be pursuing technological advancement, but there will also be a pursuit toward self-evolution and strengthening. The [Ninth Set of Initial Stage Cultivation] will be the first step!"

The duo was shocked.

New options for the future of mankind? The pursuit toward self-evolution and strengthening? This sounded pretty serious.

"Brother, to what limits can one reach from practicing this set of martial arts?" Ren Wannian was puzzled.

After practicing this set of martial arts, what he had achieved was greater strength and faster speed, so he indeed had faith in the [Ninth Set of Initial Stage Cultivation]. However, he was completely unsure of how far this set of martial arts could take him.

According to his thoughts, would he at most attain the level of those people at the villa and be able to use cars as bodybuilding equipment?

Even though this was already very shocking, it was too much of an exaggeration to talk about a new option for the future of mankind.

"To what limits…" Ren Baqian muttered to himself. "It will be possible to catch bullets with bare hands. Like what you see in those superhero movies, a true expert can even smash a mountain with one fist. Even though you won't be that strong, it will be sufficient to change the course of human development."

Of course, he was referring to Li Fu when he mentioned smas.h.i.+ng a mountain with one fist.

The pinnacle of martial arts should roughly be around Li Fu's level.

Both of them took a deep breath and mumbled, "Incredible!"

"It's indeed hard to believe. However, I have seen it with my own eyes, so you don't have to be skeptical about it. I'm just telling you more about what's in store for the future.

Under such circ.u.mstances, making this set of martial arts public will definitely create an impact on the outlook of the entire world. The structure of the entire world will also change."

"Boss, are you planning to open a martial arts center?" Ding Jie immediately asked,

Ren Baqian nodded and said, "The nation is also involved. The development of this Wuji City will be an important step.

Wuji means the pinnacle of martial arts. One can probably understand its meaning by simply hearing its name. In the future, this city shall be the hub of all the martial arts experts."

Ren Baqian suddenly paused at this moment. The idea of holding a martial arts compet.i.tion in Wuji City struck him.

If he could organize a martial arts compet.i.tion in Wuji City every year, all the martial arts experts in the entire world would naturally gather there. This would transform his idea into reality. After all, he was the one who would eventually stand to profit.

He could also get the nation to sponsor the event. With this, he could also make himself some money.

Ren Baqian pushed the idea aside and continued, "This city spans across more than 300 square kilometers of land. From this, one square kilometer of land belongs to me, and I have total control over it!"

Ren Wannian and Ding Jie took another deep breath.

Even though they were aware of Ren Baqian's status and his relations.h.i.+p with certain government agencies, they didn't expect his power to actually reach such an extent.

According to what he said, this city would probably be the core of the nation in the future. They had actually given one square kilometer of land in such an important city to him?

"Brother, what have you done?" Ren Wannian was startled.

Ren Baqian had grown beyond the comprehension of his own younger brother.

"You don't have to worry about this. All you have to know is that I own one square kilometer of this piece of land. It's now time for you guys to display your abilities. Draw up a plan regarding how we can best make use of this piece of land.

My tentative idea is to build a tall building with its first three levels being the headquarters of our martial arts club. The fourth story and above can be used for other purposes while the top floor can be my personal residence.

Apart from this, you guys can think about how to make use of the remaining land. I need the land to have both commercial and residential real estate and to be able to house a few thousand people.

A hotel is a pretty good option!

I'll leave this to you guys. Remember to keep this confidential.

Regardless of who it is, you mustn't tell anyone about this," Ren Baqian said in a serious tone that immediately made them worried.

Even though Ren Wannian was his brother, he still felt nervous whenever Ren Baqian spoke to him in such a tone.

"Boss, what about the size of the budget?" Ding Jie asked.

It would take a huge sum to develop one square kilometer of land. A few billion yuan wouldn't necessarily be enough.

Besides, Ren Baqian wasn't as wealthy as those real estate developers who sold houses, so funding would be a huge problem.

"You don't have to worry about that! Just focus on doing the planning!" Ren Baqian casually replied. Once again, both of them were stunned when they heard this. There was no telling exactly how many a.s.sets he owned at the moment.

In reality, Ren Baqian had a few hundred million yuan at present, which mainly came from the dividends of the pharmaceutical company.

Even though this might seem like a lot of money, investing this amount into the project would simply be a drop in the ocean.

However, the funds for building this project didn't necessarily have to come from his own pocket.

There were still banks!

He could still take out loans!

In any case, it definitely wouldn't be a problem for Ren Baqian to take out a low-interest loan. Billions of yuan might seem like a lot to others, but it wasn't that large of a sum for banks. If it was required, taking an even larger loan wouldn't be a problem either.

As for the due date of the loan repayment, it would only be 300 years later!

Money could be considered as the least of his worries at the moment.

After leaving this matter to the two of them, the only thing Ren Baqian had to do was wait for the results. Even if their plans didn't fulfill his ideas, they would at least provide him with some food for thought.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

He then returned to Dayao and continued on his journey.

Currently, he was about a week away from arriving at the entrance of the Sixty Thousand Mountains!
