TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 483: I'm looking for funding

After Liu Yang's arrival, the party's cheerful mood became tense.

Everyone at the site wanted to know where the new mithril mine he found was located.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy that all of you have accepted the invitation. Before I talk about the mine, I would like to discuss something important with you all." Liu Yang spoke to all the guests at the party.

Everyone looked at him with serious looks. They want to know where the mine is located so they can send people there as soon as possible.

"Mr. Hawk River, wait a moment" Manager Etelka made some gestures and a small podium appeared next to Liu Yang.

"As I was saying before, I would like to ask for a little collaboration from you on this subject. You can see that I am not very rich, at least not enough to do something very crazy. So I hope you can funding something for me. In exchange for that, you will have some lasting benefits" Liu Yang commented and looked at everyone in front of him. He saw that some started whispering to each other about what Liu Yang would ask.

"Mr. Hawk River, what kind of funding do you need? Depending on the amount, my Lifield family can fully fund it. "A middle-aged woman raised her glass of wine and commented in an arrogant tone. She was beautiful, but some marks of middle age can be seen on her face.

Her tight yellow dress revealed her delicate curves.

From the way the woman spoke, she must be from a very rich and powerful family.

"Old woman, don't even think about trying to get the benefits on your own. Young Hawk River, if you want, my Murduk family can be your sponsor" A middle-aged man commented right away. He also wanted to be the only sponsor to receive the best benefits.

"Young man, you forget about these two idiotic people and accept my offer. I can also be your only sponsor!!!"

In a few moments, many screams and offenses echo through the hall.

They were all wealthy and powerful, their families ruled several regions of the Wild Region, so they were arrogant and unrestrained. Neither cared about the other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I ask everyone to be calm and listen to what I have to say before" Liu Yang tried to calm the crowd, but it seemed to not affect.

"It seems that there is no other way ..." He murmured dejectedly.

Liu Yang closed his eyes before opening it again.

Heavy pressure covered the place.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The pressure was too powerful and everyone had to stop screaming to try to hold on.

Even Sylvia was startled by this. She was after Liu Yang, so she felt the full power of the pressure.

Her gaze was on his back, but a big shock can be seen on his face.

(What is that? How is this person called Hawk River so powerful ?? !!) That was her thought. She did not understand as someone on the same level that she had such great pressure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for this. But everyone needed to calm down. I hope you will hear my request before talking about being the sponsor of the project." Liu Yang spoke calmly.

"..." No one else commented on those words, they were waiting to find out what Liu Yang was planning to do.

"Since everyone is already paying attention to me, I will talk about what I want. My goal is to build a big city in the mine or in a location close to the mine for me to manage. Those who can support me in this matter, I will be grateful and will still give some tax rebates for the next few years. " Liu Yang spoke.

"..." Liu Yang's request was not beyond expectations, as it was a normal thing to ask.

As he discovered the mine, many thought that Liu Yang could ask for investment to build the city. So, he could be the governor.

The problem is what kind of financial returns can they get? The mine alone was something very profitable, but they wanted more things to make that profit return faster.

"Mr. Hawk River, could I ask you a question?" The middle-aged woman who spoke earlier raised her hand.

"Yeah. You can ask"

"The city you plan to build. How will it be divided? " The woman asked a very important question.

The division of the city will be how the financiers will receive their shares to invest.

Depending on how the division is made, they will invest more or less.

"This is a good question. The way I am going to divide the city is simple. I planned to give priority to choosing locations for those who help me build the city. That is, if you help me, I will help you back. Regarding buildings and formats, you can decide what to build in your chosen location. For example the slave market, I owed a favor to general manager Etelka, so I planned to give four percent to the slave market and six percent to general manager Etelka, the sum is equivalent to ten percent of the city. I will keep five percent and the other eighty-five percent will be divided among all those who help me "Liu Yang explained. He changed the percentage from before because he wanted to show goodwill to manager Etelka.

Besides, he was also showing that those who help him will get help back.

His words were quite simple and easy to understand.

"I see But how big is the city you plan to build? If the city was small, it would not be able to supply the number of people "The middle-aged woman asked again. She has already seen one of the mining towns of mithril, the city was gigantic and looked like a small state with several tens of millions of people.

"I hope to be able to build a city for at least thirty million people. The location where the mine is located is big enough to have at least four times that amount of people" Liu Yang does not know exactly how big the Iron Hand Valley is, he just knows that the place is very big.

According to the documents he read in the hiding places of the groups that explore the mine. They don't even know what the exact size is because it was too dangerous to explore the place.

"I see But to do something this big, you need a lot of people and money, besides, the place must be very dangerous, right? Such a mine must have some dangers." The middle-aged woman thought that the investment would be very high, but the return is worth it depending on the amount invested.

"Yea. The site has at least several hundred thousand or even a few million creatures roaming the site. I didn't have the courage to stay there for long "Liu Yang commented casually, part of his words were lies and part was true.
