"What?"
Xie Jinshui didn't know how to react to Mu Beihai's strange words. Buy the entire street? Buy all the streets within a ten-mile radius?
That was the shantytown. There was no potential for growth …
Xie Jinshui came to a sudden realization. He understood what Mu Beihai was trying to do.
Qin Duhuang turned pale when he heard Mu Beihai's words. He had thought of the same idea but he didn't say it out loud. He wanted to wait until he left before going to buy the street. He didn't know that Mu Beihai would think of the same thing and buy the street from the mayor. He was one step ahead of him!
Zhou Tianlin, Liu Tianzong, and the others were surprised by Mu Beihai's words. Soon, they came back to their senses and their expressions changed.
Buy the properties nearby?
Mu Beihai was trying to monopolize Su Ping's properties!
Su Ping had said that it would be first come, first served. No one could tell when Su Ping would sell pets of that rank in the future. Therefore, the closer they lived, the faster they would react!
If the Mu family were to occupy the entire neighborhood, then the Mu family would be the first to get the pets that Su Ping sold in the future!
What a sly old dog!
They cursed Mu Beihai to themselves.
Of course, Mu Beihai could tell that the others didn't look happy. But he didn't care. It was their own fault for not thinking about it.
He darted a glance at Qin Duhuang. Finally, he was one step ahead of this sly old fox.
"Mayor, I want the properties here as well. I will buy the entire street!" Zhou Tianlin said in a hurry. The Zhou family couldn't fall behind any more!
If they couldn't get a pet and they couldn't even buy a piece of land, they wouldn't be able to survive in the future.
They wouldn't even be able to sit at the table!
Qin Duhuang knew that there was no way he could continue to do this in secret since Mu Beihai had revealed the truth. He had to join in as well. "Mayor, the Qin Family is willing to trade the most expensive street in the uptown area for this street!"
Lakeside Street was an extremely prosperous commercial street in the upper city. It could be said to be a street made of gold. Every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. Even a small shop could be sold for tens of millions of yuan, enough to buy half of the street. Now, they were using the entire street to exchange for this one street?
Even the onlookers looked at Qin Duhuang as if they were looking at a monster.
They didn't expect such a famous place like Binhu Street to be this old man's property.
What was even more surprising was that the old man had lost his mind and was willing to trade the golden street that everyone in the Longjiang Base City had heard of for the street they were on!
This was too crazy!
Mu Beihai and the others were startled by Qin Duhuang's words as well. Soon, they realized that the Qin Family wouldn't lose anything in exchange!
No matter how much money he had, it was not as important as power!
Strength was the root of earning money!
If they could buy all the pets that would be sold in Su Ping's store in the future, they would be able to get them back as long as they were strong enough, even if they had to spend all their money!
"Mayor, the Mu Family is willing to trade 'Tianchen' and 'Xingsheng' for this street," Mu Beihai said, biting his teeth.
Once again, the onlookers opened their eyes wide.
Tianchen and Xingsheng were well-known to every household. They were super large corporations. Even the millionaires with annual salaries of over a million yuan worked there as employees!
And these two corporations actually belonged to this old man in front of him?
Also, he was willing to trade those two corporations for this street?
For a moment, many people felt that the ground they were standing on was burning their feet.
It was as if they were standing on hot gold.
Xie Jinshui was stunned as well. He didn't know that the two would be so bold.
Zhou Tianlin and the others chimed in at once. None of them wanted to be left behind.
They all realized that this was a critical moment for their families. This was an important step in their strategy. They would regret it for the rest of their lives if they flinched!
Xie Jinshui was overwhelmed by the eagerness on the faces of the family heads. More importantly, he was tempted as well. He would rather keep the street for himself than sell it to them.
It wasn't impossible to move the administrative office of the city government here.
"Xie, we've been friends for so many years. No matter what price they offer, I will pay more than them. Sell it to me!" Qin Duhuang said. He was playing the friendship card.
Mu Beihai sneered. "What friendship? We're friends. Xie, sell it to me. Sell it to me. I promise you that I will never tell anyone about it again."
Xie Jinshui rolled his eyes when he heard this. Those who didn't know would misunderstand him.
"Xie, you came to my grandson's wedding when he turned one. Do you have the heart to see the Zhou family fall?" Zhou Tianlin asked.
"Xie, we're in-laws. If you can't make up your mind, why don't you go back and ask your daughter?" the family head of the Ye family chimed in.
Xie Jinshui was getting dizzy from all the talking.
"Well, we'll talk about it later." Xie Jinshui waved his hand to stop them. "We're in public and you're respectable people. Don't be so rude."
"Rude? I can be a pervert." Mu Beihai sneered.
Xie Jinshui: "…"
Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin darted a glance at Mu Beihai. How could this old man be so cruel?!
It seemed that Mu Beihai was really desperate this time.
"Xie, you have to make this clear. We all have to be there!" Liu Tianzong said. He knew that the Liu family was the weakest of the five major families. After all, they had lost half of their resources. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Tianzong's combat ability wasn't weakened, the Liu family would have been devoured by the four of them.
Liu Tianzong knew that he couldn't win by himself, so he decided to drag them all down with him. Renting the entire street was out of the question for Liu Tianzong. He only wanted one of the seats.
The others glared at Liu Tianzong and cursed him secretly. But they didn't say anything. None of them had the confidence to negotiate with Xie Jinshui alone.
"Sure."
Xie Jinshui nodded. "If so, let's make an appointment tonight so that we can talk."
"Sure."
The others nodded in agreement.
Although the houses nearby all had their own owners, the reason why they didn't look for the owners and went straight to Xie Jinshui was because the land was still Xie Jinshui's. As long as Xie Jinshui was shameless enough, according to the contract, he could take back the house.
Therefore, talking to Xie Jinshui was the most direct and most fundamental way.
"Mr. Su Ping, I'm sorry." Xie Jinshui smiled at Su Ping after comforting them.
Su Ping said calmly, "I won't laugh at you."
Xie Jinshui smiled. He understood Qin Duhuang. After all, it wasn't easy to run such a large family.
"Mr. Su, I'll take my leave now," Xie Jinshui said. Since he couldn't buy any pets, there was no point in staying.
Su Ping nodded.
Xie Jinshui turned around and left.
The onlookers watched as the mayor left. No one had expected that the mayor would be alerted by the fact that Su Ping was selling pets in his store. Those titled battle pet warriors who had come on ninth-rank birds were all freaks of nature.
Qin Duhuang and Mu Beihai were family heads of major families. They had always kept a low profile. People who knew about them were even less than those who knew about third-rate stars. It was normal that people didn't know them.
Of course, those who knew about them were not simple themselves. At the very least, they were either in the circle or close to it.
"Mr. Su, I'll take my leave now." Mu Beihai cupped his fists at Su Ping. He had to go back and get ready.
Su Ping nodded.
Zhou Tianlin and Liu Tianzong said goodbye to Su Ping and left in a hurry.
Qin Duhuang said to Su Ping, "Mr. Su, I won't say thank you for what you did for me today. I will remember your kindness, even though you might not mind."
Su Ping replied, "Qin Duhuang, you're too kind. You're a famous person. I have a lot to learn from you."
"Mr. Su, you're too kind." Qin Duhuang shook his head and said goodbye. He had to go back and discuss how to compete for the other stores near Su Ping's store. The pavilion closest to the water enjoyed the moonlight first. He had to find a good location.
