Chapter 1896 No Land For You Too

"Kraft and I thought of the same thing as you too," Jin said when Xiong Da asked him that question. Why bother? Then we realised something as well. If that land can be bought, it also means other places will have the very same opportunity too. We plant ourselves into a famous mall and get the most out of it." 

"But this kind of direct competition is kind of like predatory against the current malls, isn't it? I mean when I compared Tree Mall with the others? They simply lose by a huge margin. Unless you are purposely doing this to kick competition out of the way?" 

"IFC Holdings is currently leasing the mall to another construction company. This is the only way to show that we can hold a mall of our own and later bid for the right to have that mall. If the current companies overseeing those malls want to fight against us, they have to step up their game instead. Besides, they should be happy that I am providing them traffic to them...assuming they do not go to mine first. Hahaha!"

"Because you currently do not have any luxury brands under your mall's name." 

"Not that I do not have any, I have major brands in my Tree Mall's name. But I just don't have the extreme luxury ones." 

"So, you are doing this to attract the extreme luxuries into your new underground mall?" 

"You could say that. But we will see how this particular experiment goes about for now. If it's a loss, we can always return it to the government." 

"Heh, you make it sound so easy but I have no idea you had that much money with you. If I had known, I would not have sponsored so much for the Tree Mall previously." 

"Hey, I was really poor back then okay? Just that I had some good investments going through the year that allowed me to earn this much." 

"Then you should give me some back. After all, I am your investor in the Tree Mall." 

"Am I not giving you free dungeon runs already?"

"Wow, you are such a cheapskate. Anyways, call me up when you have settled on the date for the bid." 

"Want to hear something evil?" Jin suddenly thought of something bad.

"What is it?" 

"We purposely bid it to a fairly high amount and let IFC take it instead." 

"LOL." Xiong Da did not think of that. "Overpriced car park for sure. Not to mention they have to handle construction and stuff. I think if it came to that which is actually possible since you kind of pissed them off, it would be hilarious if they really win it and realised they acquired land that was kind of useless. I mean, there's even a subway right beside them already, no use building a subway below theirs." The Super Lawyer decided to return for the day after they had settled all the nonsense that had happened.

Over the weekend, Kong Rong actually came to confirm what Jin had done since Kai Hung complained to him and later found that it was not either party's fault. He could only say that this was just a ridiculous situation. "Honestly, if you had just rented a store, none of this would have happened." 

"But sadly, it did happen. If Kai Hung had not told me about the fifth basement they are creating, I would not be in this situation. And hey, look at the bright side, at least we avoided them to be under the law." Jin made such a bad pun, that Kong Rong actually rolled his eyes.

"Heh, surprisingly, he told him that as well and stated that if they had not found out from you building a fifth basement would incur a violation of the law, they might have been in trouble. Oh, and their CEO? Their lawyers got a trashing from her, not physically." 

"Yet in a way, I did waste his time." Jin shrugged his shoulders and Kong Rong shrugged as well since they both knew it was quite common certain preparations became useless. "So, this week no new dungeon instances? Or you have been busy with the work that Xiong Da gave you. After all, you probably needed to read up when you do this land acquisition thing." 

"Yeah, he said that at least I have Panda Inc. as the company front, or else it would have been hard to apply it with just my name on it. 'Thirty years ago, it might have been possible but not now.'" Jin imitated Xiong Da's voice. "And nah, I had been looking at the stuff your other Royal Zodiac Clans had sent to me before the meeting tomorrow. Must say that you guys sure have a lot of things in the past and started way earlier as well. Why the delay up till now?" 

"Ha ha ha… to be honest… Remember that city where you were beating those monsters called upon by those Banned Emperor Terrorists? It was that particular venue but if we put the competition up at that venue, it would probably receive more backlash for being so insensitive although they needed the extra revenue to be honest." 

"So, you guys had planned to ditch the competition this year?" 

"Kind of but it's a waste too. Because it's meant to be the 30th Annual Competition. So, it's got to be big in some way. So, even though the venue had been paid for in advance, the clans decided not to go for it, due to the incident. Until we realised that we have you to sought after that fantastic Panda Celebration event that you made." 

"Gek, I should not have let you Royal Zodiac Leaders out in the open."

"Hey, it's a good thing you know? They enjoyed it quite a fair bit and recommended the other leaders to try it too." Kong Rong laughed as he bid farewell to Jin and hoped that he could get his land.
