The charity reception lasted until 10 p.m., but Link and Jessica weren't planning to stay until then. The couple left at half past four in the afternoon to go home.

By the end of the evening, the news had already aired how much money had been raised for the reception.

The 100 people who donated the most money were the last one to be only three million dollars. Link's 40 million tops the list. But even if the media mentioned it, that is, "In this fundraiser, Link Hans donated the most." ”

And then there is no underneath.

Anyway, everyone thinks that if Link plays, it will not be normal to donate the most.

Link doesn't care about those, either.

Even his media didn't bother to report on it. Anyway, the data is recorded. In the future, someone will say that Link, and those things will become face slap props.

For not having the media properly reporting his good deeds, Link would not be unhappy about it.

Instead, something happened to Fox that didn't make him very pleasant.

It was not yet noon when Jessica rushed back from the company. She finds Link in her study and says, "Fawkes is being targeted. ”

"What is being targeted?" asked Link, standing up from his seat and walking out. "What's going on?"

"Our Mr. Mayor, who has announced a plan for the next five years of Fox development, claims that he will invite Peter Ham to invest in the development of the new Fox District. The new district will be able to provide 7,000 family homes. and open a business district. The Peterham Company will invest $500 million. Jessica frowned and said. "I think he's trying to use this project to divert the attention of the public. ”

When Link heard this, he sneered and said, "In that case, Mr. Mayor has already thought of a way, but it has only been announced now." ”

He said and pulled his wife to do it, "But even if he wants to do that project, he has to be approved by the citizens." He remembers that the change of use of Fox's woodland had to be approved by the citizens' representatives. Many of the citizen representatives are inclined to protect the environment. If the citizens' representatives cannot reach an agreement, then the citizens will have to vote.

Jessica shook her head and said, "I'm worried that they're going to make some promises. That kind of project will take a year or two, and the promise may never have to be kept. Also, I found out that Pittham is controlled by the DuPont consortium. ”

Link pursed his lips and thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "But what benefits do they get from entering Fox?"

He has always been very calm about Fox, it is he who has interests in Fox, but others may not have. He couldn't figure out what the DuPont consortium was going to do when it entered Fox and what the new district would get.

Just to make money? There are too many small towns in the United States that make money. Not necessarily at Fox.

"Who knows. Maybe Pitcham & Co. just wanted to make money. Now that Fox has developed, it's a lot more attractive than ever. Especially the number of tourists here is increasing every year. Fox also creates a number of new jobs every year. ”

"But Fox doesn't make much money on property. ”

Although Fox is now attractive in terms of medical care, environment and prices, Fox housing prices are not high.

"Not necessarily. Jessica shook her head. "Real estate is all about speculation. I think they must have some plan. But either way, if you let them into Fox, it will always have an impact on you. ”

That's just as well!

Link thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll have to announce our plan first." See who the citizens of Fox really support. "In doing so, it may allow Mayor Dick to temporarily get rid of the sex scandal because the citizens have diverted their attention. But since Mr. Mayor is so disregarded about himself, Link naturally won't let the other party sit in that position.

While the Links were talking about it, Mayor Dick was talking to someone about it.

Mayor Dick was a young man of ten rather handsome men, and now that he was old, his masculine charm was still not weak.

The other man was a white man in his thirties and forties. The two sat in Mayor Dick's office, drinking and talking about the project that had just been announced.

"Wallace, I wonder when you're going to let the news out, you know, if I can't be tempted by the troublesome citizens outside,[4] I won't have a chance to cooperate with you. ”

"Mr. Mayor. You can rest assured as long as you persist in your resignance. No one can kick you out of this office. We've talked to your county commissioners. They won't interfere in this matter for the time being. As long as we can finalize this project. Naturally, the citizens will be quiet for the sake of the project. Your image will also be reversed. The man named Wallace said with a smile. "You will still be a good mayor who works for the development of Fox and the welfare of the citizens of Fox. ”

Despite Wallace's words, Mayor Dick still had a dark face.

It's not just about his mayorship.

He doesn't actually have much nostalgia for this position. But it seriously affected his reputation. If he had been ousted at this time, he would have been infamous.

And judging from the current situation, he is bound to step down. He wanted to take advantage of this last chance to get the benefits that "belonged to him" in Fox City.

As for why he didn't look for Link, because Link's media had already made it clear: Link didn't like him to continue to sit in the mayor's position.

"But, Wallace. I remember saying that Link Hans was interested in that land. ”

"We're already one step ahead, aren't we? Our project will bring more prosperous business to the citizens of Fox. Attract more tourists and create more jobs for Fox. And our media will report on your exploits in this regard. ”

Wallace took a sip of his wine and said, "When you step down, your company will be able to get a 20 percent stake in the project at a relatively low price." ”

"Actually, I wonder why you're interested in Fox! $500 million investment, I have to say that's a bit risky. ”

Wallace laughed and said, "I'm just doing what I'm told." As for the company's goals, I'm really not very clear. ”

As they spoke, there was a knock on the door of the mayor's office. Dick walked over and opened the door, no longer his cheating assistant, but his secretary.

"Mr. Mayor, Midridge Homes has issued a statement claiming that it wants to be involved in the Fox New District project," his secretary said. They want to invest $800 million to set up a new residential area, as well as a high-tech start-up park. ”

"What did you say?"

The secretary said again: "The Middle Spine Homes Company has put forward its intention to participate in the new district project. ”

The Middle Ridge Homes Company is the real estate development company owned by Link. The company offered to participate in the project, and it was Link who proposed it.

Mayor Dick thought that Link would react to the project, but he definitely didn't expect Link to react so quickly. As soon as he announced the project, Link directly announced his own project.

He said to the secretary, "I see." He closed the door.

He turned his face gloomy and said to Wallace, "I think you heard that, too." Our plans are going to be ruined. ”

Wallace's face was also gone. He had heard Dick say that Link was interested in the new district project, and thought that Link just had an idea. But listen to what the mayor's secretary just said. Link's plan is not only a residential area, but also a high-tech start-up park.

And what's the plan on Wallace's side? A business district, a resort, and a couple of residential communities.

And he didn't plan to come up with the resort's plan immediately, he had wanted to wait for Link to come up with his plan for a new town. But Link's plan for the project was even more clever than theirs.

Fox is rainy all year round. But the air is fresh. The investment environment is also quite good for start-ups, and it is a good choice for many high-tech entrepreneurs.

Of course, it is uncertain whether the entrepreneurial park can really be made.

Generally speaking, the Pioneer Park has a tax reduction and tax exemption. If it weren't for this discount, no one would come to the Pioneer Park, even if it was called a business park.

Wallace frowned and said, "I don't remember Fox having plans to apply for a duty-free park. ”

"But Link Hans has a way to apply. ”

Mayor Dick was a little powerless by Link's sudden blow.

If Fox can apply for the start-up park, it will be very attractive to those young entrepreneurs. Fox's consumption level is quite low in the United States because of the presence of Link and Benehans Group headquarters. That is, a lot of things are cheap.

Based on Link's previous experience in the Fox Development New Area, Link didn't care about making money on that project at all. He may still be like he did two times before, as long as he pays for himself.

If that's the case, low rent, low consumption. In the era of developed networks, such small towns are really suitable for entrepreneurship in certain industries.

Dick said to Wallace, "What are we to do now?"

Wallace didn't know what to do now. If the plan is modified, that's not something he can do. And everyone knows that, all things being equal, the Fox people will definitely give preference to Link Hans.

The plan they had thought of quickly cutting through the mess was no longer working.
