"The matter of the Taoist temple is not for Zhang Tianyi and the others to comment on. After they finished speaking, he said, 'Mr. Ye, I think Yu Huangping is a bit small. We could invest in a tourist plaza here.'"
Ye Tian's heart stirred. He stood up, pushed open the door, and looked out at Yu Huangping from the third floor. On one side of Yu Huangping was a wild mountain covered in strange rocks, bare and with little vegetation.
However, the strange mountain occupied a large area, at least tens of thousands of square meters. Moreover, on the other side of the wild mountain was a relatively gentle slope, and beyond the slope was a road.
Ye Tian considered for a moment and said, "Level this wild mountain and create several platforms on the rear slope. This way, the entire area of the ping will exceed fifty thousand square meters."
He looked further back and said, "The back mountain has not been utilized. We will build a grand hall on the mountain to specifically receive secular tourists and pilgrims."
Liu Siyuan scratched his head. "Abbot, we have also thought about your idea. However, with such a large scale, the investment must be huge, at least several billion. Although I've worked hard to make money over the years, I only have tens of millions in hand."
Ye Tian said, "I'll provide the money."
Ming Chen was stunned. Billions, just like that?
Liu Siyuan snapped back to reality. The Abbot was a wealthy man, and billions were not really a large sum to him.
Zhang Tianyi smiled. "Mr. Ye is a man of grand gestures. Billions are enough for my company's profits for two years."
Ye Tian said, "Mr. Zhang, you can also film here in the future. We can build more ancient buildings here, suitable for filming historical dramas."
Zhang Tianyi smiled. "That would be great. When your place is completed, I will definitely come here to film a few movies and TV shows."
Ming Chen said, "Abbot, actually, we can first change the feng shui of our Yu Huang Temple. Lü Zu once said that the feng shui around Yu Huang Temple is excellent, but a bald mountain behind it affects the overall situation. If that bald mountain could be moved, the feng shui and atmosphere would be vastly different."
"Oh, take me to see it." Hearing him say that, Ye Tian immediately wanted to see it in person.
Immediately, Ming Chen led Ye Tian, and Liu Siyuan followed closely. The three of them arrived at the mountaintop and looked down. Indeed, they saw a bald mountain abruptly situated among the mountains, precisely blocking a small river.
Although Ye Tian was not proficient in feng shui, he instinctively felt that this bald mountain was very unsightly.
Liu Siyuan said, "This bald mountain occupies a considerable area. To remove it, we first need to build a mountain road, and then we can transport the stones. This investment is not a small sum!"
Ming Chen asked, "Siyuan, how much do you think it would cost to excavate this mountain?"
Liu Siyuan replied, "An investment in the tens of billions."
Ye Tian said, "I'll find a geomancer to take a look later. If he also feels that this thing is obstructing the feng shui, then we'll dig it out."
Ming Chen said, "Abbot, but such a large investment..."
Ye Tian replied, "It's fine, I'll pay for it."
Ming Chen was delighted. The current Abbot was rich and powerful, and no difficulty seemed insurmountable in his eyes.
Liu Siyuan said, "Abbot, this investment might not necessarily be a loss. The stones from this bald mountain are quite good. We can build a quarry here and process slate."
Ye Tian asked, "Have you been up this mountain?"
Liu Siyuan nodded. "I used to go there often to play, and sometimes I could pick up some beautiful small stones on the mountain."
As he spoke, he took out a set of keys from his pocket, on which was tied a piece of translucent red jade, the size of a thumb.
Upon seeing the jade, Ye Tian's eyes lit up. "This is jade."
Liu Siyuan smiled. "Is it jade? I just thought it was pretty when I was a child, so I kept it to play with. I still have a box of it at home."
Ye Tian said, "Let's go back. When I have time, I'll personally go up the mountain to investigate its situation."
After returning to the restaurant, they had a simple meal, and then the group went to Yu Huang Temple. The others went to sightsee, while Ye Tian took Zhang Tianyi to the back hall to formally bestow the initiation.
Miao Qiu, with a thick skin, also followed. She cautiously asked Xia Lei, "Leilei, is he really a big boss?"
Xia Lei smiled. "Didn't you hear? Brother Ye Tian is the boss of Baozhi, a billionaire with hundreds of billions in assets!"
