Chapter 93: Where Did They Find a Construction Crew?
Chapter 93: Where Did They Find a Construction Crew?
Time passed.
Before Zhang Lin knew it, two days had gone by.
His construction site received more sand and building materials. Small construction teams were already busy preparing the land, and once the larger teams finished their current projects, they would come to start work on the camping ground as soon as possible, aiming to build it as quickly as they could.
Zhao Neng arrived at the construction site early in the morning.
Even with thorough plans and strong confidence, it was still a 50 million yuan investment.
After inspecting the construction site, he looked toward the Liyuan Farm and asked, "Has there been no activity at the Liyuan Farm these past two days?"
The assistant beside him shook his head and said, "I've had people keeping an eye on the Liyuan Farm. Apart from the 10 acres being built, there hasn't been any other movement. No construction teams have entered to measure the land or anything like that!"
Zhao Neng laughed at this. "It seems that this Mr. Zhang is either extremely lucky or overly confident, with no sense of crisis at all. I don't believe he still doesn't know about our investment plan from Kai Lin. He hasn't even reacted yet."
Zhang Lin, of course, wasn't doing nothing.
At the very least, he had applied for a loan over the past two days.
A 40 million yuan loan.
Initially, due to funding issues, he hadn't planned to make the camping ground as large as 2000 acres.
Now, with over 15 million yuan in his account, he could almost afford to build a decent-sized camping ground.
However, because of Kai Lin's investment, he had to build a 2000-acre camping ground, which would cost around 50 million yuan.
These were the real-world prices.
The game system's prices were still unknown. He would need to wait for Fu Yao to give him the design plans, choose one, and then the game system would provide the cost.
So, taking out the loan was a precaution.
Moreover, he didn't follow the usual bank loan procedures. The county government knew about his loan request, and the county chief had arranged for the bank to approve a special entrepreneurial support loan for him, which would be disbursed in just 2-3 days.
There were no strict monthly repayment terms. Instead, a special agreement was signed, allowing him to repay the loan using the revenue from the camping ground until it was fully paid off.
This special support from the county ensured that it wouldn't affect other projects or the normal development of Liyuan Farm.
Zhang Lin arrived at the farm early in the morning, and a notification appeared in his mind's game interface:
\[A special firefly breeding room has hatched its first batch of fireflies!\]
Receiving this notification, he immediately headed to the firefly breeding room.
Inside the breeding room, using the dim light, he could already see the leaves of the special plants covered with numerous firefly larvae. At this stage, their glowing tails hadn't fully developed, so they didn't emit any light yet.
These fireflies would be one of his farm's major trump cards.
Once the first batch of fireflies was bred in sufficient numbers, he planned to use them in the completed camping ground.
With the +1 growth speed attribute from the game system, there would definitely be enough fireflies by then.
Combined with the unique selling point of the firefly camp, the impact would be significant.
So, Kai Lin had no idea about his trump card and still dared to try and outmaneuver him. That was quite amusing.
Just as he was thinking this, his phone rang. It was Lin Muxue, the online operations manager, calling.
Answering, her voice came through, "Mr. Zhang, I wanted to ask about Yao Yao's situation. We haven't signed her yet, and we plan to have her shoot some videos to maintain the farm's popularity and traffic. How should we handle this? Should we sign her?"
Zhang Lin smiled and replied, "Sister Lin, Fu Yao is coming to the farm soon. She just finished her final exams and is here for the summer. You can ask her if she's willing to sign. If she's not, that's fine too. Just have her help with the videos."
"Alright!" Lin Muxue responded, though she had some reservations. Normally, they would sign someone before having them shoot videos, as it provided them with exposure.
Without a contract, they would typically be replaced with a signed individual to shoot the videos.
However, since the boss had spoken, she didn't raise the issue, put away her phone, and planned to head to the farm.
At the farm.
Zhang Lin had just hung up and was about to put away his phone when it rang again.
It was Fu Yao.
Answering, Fu Yao's voice came through, "Uncle, I've finished the design plans and am on my way to the farm by taxi."
"I'll wait for you at the service center," Zhang Lin said with a smile.
With the design plans ready, all he needed was the loan disbursement, and he could officially start the construction of the camping ground.
The speed of the game's engineering team will likely shock Zhao Neng from Kai Lin Investments.
Zhang Lin didn't wait long at the service center before Fu Yao hurried over.
Today, she was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, highlighting her youthful and vibrant beauty.
It's no wonder that many men always prefer the young.
"Uncle!" Fu Yao saw Zhang Lin and immediately jogged over. She was holding a tablet, which she eagerly shook at him: "I brought the design plans."
Just then, Zhang Lin's phone rang—it was Lin Muxue. He answered, and she informed him that she had arrived at the farm and gave him her location.
Lin Muxue quickly entered the service center. She naturally recognized Fu Yao at first glance. Seeing the other girl's youthful and beautiful appearance, she felt a twinge of envy.
While many people praised her beauty and many male colleagues expressed their admiration, privately calling her mature and charismatic, maturity also meant that her prime was beginning to wane.
So, when she saw such a beautiful young girl, she couldn't help but think back to her own youth.
She, too, had once been that youthful and vibrant.
Anyone would be tempted to reminisce.
Zhang Lin introduced the two: "Fu Yao, let me introduce you to Lin Muxue. She's our farm's network operations director and might need your help with shooting some video content."
"Hello, Director Lin," Fu Yao greeted politely.
Zhang Lin then said, "Fu Yao, show me your design plans."
"Sure, Uncle!" Fu Yao picked up her tablet, opened her design files, and handed them over: "I've already made the necessary adjustments to the camping site design."
"Alright," Zhang Lin nodded and looked at Fu Yao's design plans.
In reality, he was pretending to look while actually opening the special accommodation facility construction scroll in his mind's game.
Special Accommodation Facility Construction Scroll: Quality 1
This is a special construction scroll that can imbue the constructed accommodation facility with special attributes: +1 Environmental Beauty, +1 Sleep Quality, +1 Guest Comfort!
Construction Requirements: Select a design plan related to accommodation, choose the construction area, and then assess the price. Current available accommodation types: Hotel, Guesthouse, Inn, RV, Camping Site!
He looked at Fu Yao's design and directly chose to add it.
A game prompt appeared:
Congratulations, this design plan meets the basic construction requirements. Although the design isn't outstanding, it has a unique style and will become perfect under the attributes of the construction scroll!
Generating construction requirements...
Zhang Lin smiled at this. It seemed Fu Yao indeed had a talent for design. After just one revision, her design already met the standards.
A moment later, the construction requirements were displayed:
Special Camping Site Construction Scroll: Quality 1
This is a special construction scroll that can imbue the constructed accommodation facility with special attributes: +1 Environmental Beauty, +1 Sleep Quality, +1 Guest Comfort
Restriction: Must be built within the farm's boundaries!
Construction Requirements: 1. 2000 acres. 2. 40 million!
Zhang Lin saw the construction requirements. In reality, this would cost over 50 million, but the game system only required 40 million.
This meant he could use a loan.
However, his account only had 15 million, so he would have to wait for the county's loan to come through.
He then came back to his senses and handed the tablet to Lin Muxue, saying, "Sister Lin, take a look at Fu Yao's design. This is the camping site project we'll be building next. What do you think?"
Lin Muxue was clearly taken aback by Zhang Lin's words.
It wasn't strange that the farm needed a design for a new project; good projects always require good designs.
But what did the boss say?
He was going to build a camping site using Fu Yao's design? And Fu Yao was still in high school?
Could a high school student's design really work for a project of this scale?
When she actually saw the camping site design, she was genuinely stunned.
2000 acres?
Based on her experience, this project would require tens of millions of funds.
Using a high school student's design for a project of this level?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought someone was joking.
Lin Muxue, knowing she wasn't foolish, felt there was a real issue here. However, as she looked at Fu Yao's pure and beautiful appearance, she suddenly gave Zhang Lin a curious look.
She couldn't help but wonder if her boss was thinking of becoming a sugar daddy.
This...
It was actually quite possible.
After all, it's often said that wealthy men tend to prefer much younger women, and there's even a saying: as long as a man is successful enough, his wife could still be in kindergarten.
So, if her boss had his eye on a young girl, she wouldn't find it strange.
Her gaze toward Zhang Lin became decidedly strange.
"Senior Lin, is something wrong?" Zhang Lin noticed Lin Muxue staring at him and felt a bit puzzled.
"No... nothing!" Lin Muxue hurriedly shook her head, deciding to keep such thoughts to herself.
Still, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Fu Yao. A high school girl, and she already had a young and wealthy boss willing to spend tens of millions to build the campsite she designed. It was truly enviable.
If she had had a young, handsome boss like that when she was in high school...
At that moment, Zhang Lin's phone rang. He glanced at the number and answered immediately.
It was a call from the bank.
After hanging up, he quickly told Lin Muxue and Fu Yao, "Senior Lin, Fu Yao, I need to go to the bank. You two can discuss the video shooting. If you encounter any issues, let me know."
With that, he hurriedly left.
Lin Muxue immediately smiled at Fu Yao. "Fu Yao, we might need your cooperation for the video shooting. If you have any requests, feel free to let me know."
"I have no requests, I'll cooperate," Fu Yao hurriedly replied. She had come with the intention of experiencing something new.
However, she found that Director Lin was very pleasant to talk to, and she chatted with her in a friendly manner, showing no signs of being a farm leader.
Zhang Lin went to the county's Industrial and Commercial Bank. When he returned to the farm, he had secured a 400 million loan, though the money was in a dedicated bank card provided by the bank.
This wasn't a problem since it didn't hinder his use of the funds.
Back at the farm, he didn't hesitate. He opened the game's construction market and clicked on the campsite construction scroll.
As before, the outline of the campsite construction area appeared on the game map.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Lin moved the construction outline to the newly leased 2000 acres of land until it turned green, indicating it was ready for construction, and then he confirmed the build.
The game prompt sounded:
【Congratulations, you have successfully spent 400 million to build a special campsite. Construction has begun...】
On the game map, the construction site warning icon appeared, and the construction team began to work.
This scene was also happening in the real world.
Soon, construction vehicles started entering Liyuan Farm, passing by the service center and heading straight for the 2000 acres of land where Zhang Lin had leased to build the campsite.
This naturally caught the attention of those who were watching.
Kai Lin Investment had already arranged people at Liyuan Farm, and they followed the construction vehicles immediately. They saw the construction team setting up barriers around the site to prevent others from entering.
Moreover, more and more construction vehicles arrived, and more and more workers got out, all of whom started working without taking a break.
These people didn't hesitate and immediately called to report the situation.
Zhao Neng's Kai Lin Investment Company was in the Jinmao Building, one of the best offices in the building.
He was looking at the initial design of the campsite on his computer, a design that had cost a considerable amount of money from a renowned designer.
At that moment, his assistant rushed in. "Boss, there's news from Liyuan Farm. It seems there's activity there, with many construction vehicles and workers entering, a very large number."
"???" Zhao Neng stood up immediately, left the company, and hurried to the construction site of his own campsite.
There, he saw a large number of construction vehicles and workers.
The number of workers was even greater than those from the large construction teams they had hired.
The key was that the workers had already started working with great enthusiasm.
"Where did they find the construction team? This shouldn't be!" Zhao Neng subconsciously shook his head.
After all, all the large construction teams in Youcheng and the nearby counties had signed contracts with him.
Yet, the fact was that the other side was already working with great enthusiasm.
"I don't know where they found them, but they just appeared suddenly. The key is, they didn't take a break and started working with great enthusiasm. It's unbelievable." The assistant said, glancing at their own somewhat lazy workers.
"Do you think they're also building a campsite?" Zhao Neng suddenly realized a very troubling possibility.
