Ling Zhenfei said, "Didn't you just find me?"

Ma Long said, "Yeah, let's have a good discussion about the investment matters first."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Are you sure you've got it figured out?"

Ma Long replied, "Of course I've understood it. With such a great investment plan, what else wouldn't make sense to me?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then go ahead, tell me how we should proceed."

Ma Long said, "It's quite simple. People in Huaxia now have money and want to travel, but it's often very inconvenient. As long as we provide a convenient travel option to a great place, there'll be loads of visitors."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Exactly, that's what I think too. That's why Moergawa wants to establish a deep diplomatic relationship with us, no visa required."

Ma Long said, "Plus, I'll work with the airlines to increase flights and make prices relatively cheaper."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Those aren't the key points. The crucial thing is the construction."

Ma Long hesitated slightly and said, "How do we build it?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Currently, Moergawa's situation isn't like you imagined. It's basically in a primitive state. The scenery is beautiful, but it's worthless.

Tourists need places to stay, food, transportation, amusement—all of that requires development."

Ma Long suddenly realized and said, "I was a bit too impatient. How do you plan to do it?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Right now, I practically have absolute authority there, especially over the small islands on Moergawa's three main islands. I can do whatever I want."

"So, what exactly are your thoughts?" Ma Long asked curiously.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and looked at Ma Long, saying, "If you were me, what would you do?"

Ma Long laughed too, feeling that Ling Zhenfei was a bit too smart. Both were clever, so they understood quickly.

Ma Long said, "Simple, we can open bids domestically for the development of Moergawa. As long as the two of us make an appearance, lots of companies will surely bid."

Ling Zhenfei said, "What do we do after selecting the bid-winning company?"

Ma Long said, "We can use an auction approach, dividing the islands into dozens of areas and letting companies bid on them.

Upon winning the bid, they would have the right to develop the area: open hotels, sell goods, engage in development. However, facilities like beaches shouldn't charge fees."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's feasible, but isn't it too cheap for them?"

Ma Long said, "If you think it's not enough, we can add conditions, like building airports or cultivation schools."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's possible. Your method sounds good, but how do I make a profit, how do I benefit?"

Ma Long sighed and said, "Do I have to teach you how to make money?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Well, you're a smart guy."

Ma Long said, "Okay, just the money from auctioning the land is enough for you to earn. Plus, you can invest in these companies too, earning even more later."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Can't deny your brilliance in coming up with this idea."

Ma Long said, "Alright, tell me what I gain; I want to invest, what benefits do I get?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'll give you the best beach resort, and allow you to build some houses to sell."

"Are you really so kind as to let me sell houses?" Ma Long was a bit skeptical, with Ling Zhenfei letting him do real estate on Feixue Island.

Ling Zhenfei said, "What's the big deal? Because there's an extra condition."

"Go ahead, I knew it wouldn't be that simple," Ma Long said.

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Actually, it's quite straightforward: I need your help in building an airport."

Ma Long widened his eyes in shock, "You know the investment required for an airport."

Ling Zhenfei said, "But you also know how much money it makes later."

Ma Long said, "Aren't we being too roundabout? I start a project, you invest in it, then for another one, you invest again. Why not just set up a company directly?

This company could execute all the development projects, preferably using the public model of Moergawa."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Then I could establish an investment company on behalf of Moergawa's government, handling all Feixue Island's development through this company."

Ma Long nodded, "Good, this is great, saves us trouble later."

Ling Zhenfei said, "How much are you planning to invest?"

Ma Long looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "It sounds pretty simple when you put it that way. Let's discuss how to cooperate first."

Ling Zhenfei said, "How do you think we should cooperate? Obviously, I provide the land, and you provide the money."

Ma Long said, "You're talking about providing land, which is a cost-free business."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "You're quite amusing. How is owning land considered a cost-free business? If it were, you could try getting a plot from Capital City without spending any money."

Ma Long said, "If that's the case, we're getting off track. We need a strategy to make significant money."

Ling Zhenfei said, "The resources I have now are sure win for anyone. It doesn't matter who I collaborate with, but you got lucky to meet me."

Ma Long said, "True, you spoke correctly. How about I have my team develop a proposal?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Sure, I'll also have my team give a proposal. We can compare them, and if it seems suitable, great; if not, we'll move on."

Ma Long said, "Alright then, let's stay in contact by phone."

Clearly, this matter was very important to Ma Long. Everyone knows that controlling land equates to having wealth, especially in a travel Holy Land like Moergawa.

Ling Zhenfei could be said to be second at the top, and making money was just a matter of speaking.

But Ling Zhenfei didn't want to be so indifferent. Now that Feixue Island was his property, he wanted to build it well and improve the lives of its people.

There's no helping it when you have such resources. Such resources aren't easy for anyone to acquire.

Now, Moergawa's Emperor is Ling Zhenfei's sworn brother, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is his wife, and he himself is the Prince of the small island. It's just too convenient.

After Ma Long left, Cao Xueyi was wide-eyed, "Is everything you just said true? You're some Prince with a fief?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Look at you, taking it seriously. We're just joking around, you're still a child."

Cao Xueyi said, "No, it sounded way too convincing when you guys talked."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I can't help it; I just love joking around."

Cao Xueyi didn't say much after that. He didn't believe that in this society there would still be Princes and such things.
