"A billion?"
Long Xiaoshan''s tone was somewhat shocked, but he quickly regained hisposure.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan initially surprised by the mention of a billion but then quickly returning to his usual demeanor, Gu Jingheng felt even more that there was something extraordinary about him. He was definitely not an ordinary farmer.
Powerful martial arts skills!
Incredible medical knowledge!
And this ability to cultivate!
Gu Jingheng had encountered many people, including those powerful individuals with special abilities.
But Long Xiaoshan was the most mysterious he had felt.
This only strengthened his resolve to cooperate.
"Brother Xiaoshan, a billion is what I can offer right now. If things take off, I can invest more," Gu Jingheng said. This billion was his personal savings; although his family had a lot of money, it wasn''t for him to use casually.
Long Xiaoshan thought for a moment.
With a billion, he could do a lot of things.
And Gu Jingheng seemed like a decent person.
He had the skill to judge people''s characteristics and said, "Alright, I can ept your investment. However, Lily Hotel also has shares in the farm, and this matter needs to be discussed with her."
"Right, I also need to talk about cooperation with her. Xiaoshan, could you arrange a meeting with her?" Gu Jingheng obviously needed to negotiate since the farm''s products were currently monopolized by Lily Hotel.
This was not ideal.
It was clear that Gu Jingheng was in a hurry and took the matter of the farm to heart.
Long Xiaoshan apanied him to the county town.
At the Lily Hotel, Shangguan Baihe was taken aback when she heard that Gu Jingheng wanted to talk about cooperation.
Gu Jingheng, the notorious little Superman.
The Guu Family, with hundreds of billions in assets, ranked among the top three on Hong Kong Ind.
Inparison to the Guu Family, Lily Hotel''s enterprises were like ants to an elephant.
In a conference room at the Lily Hotel, Shangguan Baihe met Gu Jingheng. Although Gu Jingheng had dined at Lily Hotel for several days, he was in disguise, and Shangguan Baihe was unaware.
After some verbal fencing.
The tri-party cooperation was finally established.
Gu Jingheng invested a billion, holding a ten percent stake.
Shangguan Baihe added two hundred million, keeping her shares unchanged at ten percent.
The farm''s products would be represented by apany founded by both parties, with each holding a fifty percent stake.
After the cooperation agreement was reached, the news reached the higher-ups.
It immediately caused a shock in Niu Y County and even the entire city, with the province also taking notice.
An investment of over a billion and the big name of Gu Jingheng.
Not to mention Niu Y County had never seen such a massive investment, even the city rarely had.
As soon as the news broke out, it caused a sensation.
Long Xiaoshan hurried back to the vige.
The situation had be quite big now. Even Ye Feng had called, saying he woulde to inspect in person. When Long Xiaoshan returned to the vige, he immediately discussed the matter with his family.
"What, over a billion?"
Learning that the farm would receive an investment of over a billion, Couple Long Dashan nearly fainted.

Before, they thought a few million was an inexhaustible amount of money.
Now, it was over a billion.
"Xiaoshan, with so much money, could something go wrong?" He Xiangyue was terrified.
Vigers, truly haven''t seen so much money before, their first reaction isn''t joy, but fear and trepidation.
Long Dashan also fiercely smoked his cigarette and said, "Xiaoshan, we''re living a good life now, and we already have more money than we can spend, so let''s not go in for something this big. Having too much money is not a good thing; it makes people jealous."
Hearing his father''s words, Long Xiaoshan couldn''t help but see him in a new light.
Although his father was just an honest farmer, his words really made sense.
To tell the truth.
If he didn''t have his own formidable abilities, without the legacy of his training,
bringing in such a huge investment would indeed be ying with fire.
However, now he had no doubts about his own abilities and said, "Dad, Mom, don''t worry, I have it under control, don''t forget where my special abilityes from, I can handle it."
Seeing Long Xiaoshan speaking like this, Couple Long Dashan felt somewhat relieved.
After all, their son had been taught by Celestials.
"Next, I have another idea which is to integrate the whole vige. With so much capital, it''s enough to develop all the vigend. Dad, go tell the vigers; I want to share my thoughts with them."
In the vige, most people are now working on Long Xiaoshan''s farm.
So there wasn''t much trouble in notifying them.
Gathering almost everyone from the farm was enough.
On the stony beach of the farm, there were nearly two hundred people, closely packed together.
Men, women, the elderly, and children of Longyang Vige were all there.
After Long Fakui was overthrown, Long Xiaoshan was now the de facto leader of Longyang Vige. Although the election hadn''t happened yet, it was clear to everyone that if Long Xiaoshan ran for vige chief, he would definitely be elected.
Looking down at the crowd of people below him.
Long Xiaoshan gestured with his hands to quiet them and said, "Fellow vigers, I''ve called everyone here today to discuss a very important matter, one that concerns the livelihood of the entire vige."
Hearing Long Xiaoshan speak so earnestly, over a hundred pairs of eyes below were intently focused on him.
"Everyone has seen how well my farm is doing, the produce is selling very well. So now, investors want to put money into the farm, with the investment amounting to several billion."
Upon hearing this number.
The crowd below exploded.
"Several billion?"
"How much is that?"
"Several billion is an uncountable amount of money; Uncle Tie, with several billion, every person in the vige could get ten million each."
"What, that much money!"
Many of the elderly had no concept of what a billion meant.
Some of the younger ones were exining to them.
Seeing themotion below, Long Xiaoshan gestured with his hand to calm them down and said, "I, Long Xiaoshan, was born and raised in Longyang Vige. I have a deep affection for Longyang. It''s not real wealth if I''m the only one rich; it''s only when the entiremunity prospers. So here''s what I''m thinking, doesn''t every household in Longyang have their ownnd? With this investment, the farm is bound to expand. Here, I propose two options: one is that everyone leases theirnd to me—I can offer a high rent of ten thousand per mu; the second option is for everyone to join my farm as shareholders with theirnd, then receive dividends ording to their shares every year, and still be able to work and earn sries. What do you all think?"
The crowd below heard the mention of a rent of ten thousand per mu.
And they all got excited.
Who didn''t have a few mu ofnd in their family? Just thisnd alone would mean tens of thousands of yuan each year for doing nothing.
But upon hearing the second proposal, some of the savvy ones immediately thought it over.
"Xiaoshan, I''m willing to join the farm with mynd," shouted a woman.
Long Xiaoshan saw Jin Lian and gave a slight smile.
Previously, Long Fakui had been the vige chief, and his family had the mostnd, easily over a hundred mu. Now with Long Fakui arrested, all thisnd belonged to Jin Lian.
"Thank you for your support, Aunt Jin Lian. To be honest, if you choose the first option, I''d benefit. But I still hope you choose the second one because once the farm develops, the annual dividends will definitely be more than tens or hundreds of thousands; even a million is possible. The question is whether you trust me or not!"
