"Oh, I see, that's quite impressive."

Chen Yang said calmly.

Gu Xuanyu and Murong could understand Chen Yang's lack of reaction earlier since he was unfamiliar with the Murong Family's background.

But after Gu Xuanyu's introduction, Chen Yang still responded indifferently, which irked both Gu Xuanyu and Murong.

"Just 'oh'? Nothing else to say?" Gu Xuanyu looked at Chen Yang in surprise.

Chen Yang looked back at him with equal bewilderment: "What else should I say?"

"You..." Gu Xuanyu was at a loss for words.

He almost lost his temper, but remembering why he called Chen Yang there today, he held it back.

"Chen Yang, I'm not going to quarrel with you about these things. I'm sure you understand why Murong and I asked you here today, so I'll get straight to the point." Gu Xuanyu didn't look very pleased and didn't want to waste words with Chen Yang, so he went directly to the business at hand.

"Liuliu River Village is about to be transformed into a top-tier tourist area. Such a large cake, you can't possibly eat it all by yourself, Chen Yang. Your only option is to partner with us!"

"Of course, if you partner with us, we won't treat you unfairly, considering your land is crucial."

"Before you came, I already discussed it with Brother Murong. In our partnership, Brother Murong will take 50% of the shares, my Gu Family will take 30%, and you'll get 20%."

"Don't think 20% is a small amount. Once it's operational, you'll have a substantial income, rest assured."

Discussing the profit distribution, a slight smile appeared on Gu Xuanyu's face, as he seemed quite satisfied with the ratio.

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh.

Offering just 20% for his crucial land, these two really dared to think.

"What are you laughing at? What's your opinion on this matter?" Gu Xuanyu asked immediately when he saw Chen Yang laughing silently.

Instead of directly refusing, Chen Yang smiled and asked, "With this division, during the investment and construction of the park, will we also contribute funds according to these proportions?"

"No!" Gu Xuanyu shook his head and said, "Although you're getting the smallest share of stocks, the initial investment will be evenly split. If you don't have enough money, you can use your shares to offset it."

Hearing this, Chen Yang wanted to laugh even more.

The saying about the evils of capitalism couldn't be more apt at this moment.

It was perfect to describe Gu Xuanyu and the silent Murong at that moment.

The land was Chen Yang's, yet they planned to give him the smallest portion of shares.

And on top of that, they wanted to split the initial investment equally.

The way they were devouring this was truly disgustingly voracious.

"You've really made a good arrangement. You eat the meat, and I drink the soup, on what basis?" Chen Yang with a faint smile softly countered Gu Xuanyu and Murong.

Murong, who hadn't spoken before, finally started speaking after hearing Chen Yang's objection.

"On what basis? Of course, on the basis of strength. Honestly speaking, do you know how much investment such a large tourist spot requires? Investing money is one thing, but without the Murong Family's brand, business cannot succeed. So, my family deserves the 50% shares, and there's no room for negotiation." Murong's expression was calm, stating this more as a matter of fact than as a negotiation!

"That's right, Brother Murong's effort will be the greatest, so it's only right he takes that much. And my Gu Family's investment won't be small either, so taking 30% is very reasonable. There is no room for negotiation on the shares issue." Gu Xuanyu quickly added.

Hearing such bandit logic from the two, Chen Yang was genuinely amused.

"By your logic, I contribute the least and therefore get the least shares, with no room for negotiation?" Chen Yang asked.

"Exactly." Murong nodded directly.

Gu Xuanyu also nodded silently beside him, indicating that was indeed the case.

Chen Yang burst into laughter.

Originally, when Chen Yang came over today, he thought since the Gu Family needed him, they would likely propose better terms.

Unexpectedly, not only were the terms low, but their attitude was still so condescending.

Then what's there to talk about?

"Since there's nothing to negotiate, let's not negotiate. It's obvious we can't collaborate; there's nothing more to say." Chen Yang, not angry, calmly said he wouldn't cooperate, stood up, and was about to leave.

Just a second ago, thinking everything was under control, Gu Xuanyu frowned when he saw Chen Yang about to leave.

"Chen Yang, I've already set aside past grievances, wanting to partner with you to earn money together. Are you sure you want to be so unappreciative?" Gu Xuanyu also stood up and said coldly to Chen Yang.

Hearing this, Chen Yang felt extremely annoyed with Gu Xuanyu.

"Please clear your mind, all the land is now mine; it's you who needs me, not you doing me a favor by offering me a chance to cooperate, understood?" Chen Yang suddenly intensified his tone, eyes sharpening as he stared at Gu Xuanyu and Murong.

Chen Yang's firm attitude instantly made his stance clear.

"You..."

Gu Xuanyu was furious upon hearing this.

In his mind, this cooperation was indeed considered charity to Chen Yang.

Now hearing Chen Yang's words only infuriated him more.

The face of Murong looked even worse than that of Gu Xuanyu.

"Yes, the land is with you, but do you have the ability to carry out such a large policy? Only we have the capability to truly help you transform Liuliu River Village into a modern, top-tier tourist site!" Murong coldly eyed Chen Yang and said.

"Exactly, Chen Yang, don't think this is easy. Do you know how much investment a top-tier tourist site requires? The resort, infrastructure, star-rated hotels, specialty towns—all these need huge funds. Can you afford to invest anything?" Gu Xuanyu added on the side, his words full of disdain for Chen Yang.

Their words were harsh, but not without truth.

Truly transforming Liuliu River Village requires massive funding.

The money is simply unquantifiable and must be meticulously demonstrated to conclude.

But so what, the world isn't just limited to his Gu Family or the Murong Family providing the funds.

"Haha, your points are really amusing. I have the land and the policy; wouldn't I find investors?" Chen Yang also retorted with a cold smile.

Gu Xuanyu and Murong seemed to have already discussed this.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's retort, they both smiled mockingly and said dismissively, "Sure, there will be lots of investors, but none would dare risk investing without my Brother Murong's participation!"

"Chen Yang, I'd advise you to think carefully. 20% is not small. If you walk out that door today, and come back to seek cooperation with us, you might not even get 20%."

Gu Xuanyu and Murong had a smug look, as though they had Chen Yang in the palm of their hands.

"There's nothing to think about; I'd rather let this land sit useless in my hands than cooperate with you." Chen Yang didn't hesitate, leaving behind these words before pulling Wang Qingyue to leave.
