Chapter 107: Investing in the Tourist Resort
You should know that 10,000 acres is not a small area. Let alone building a tourist resort that occupies over 10,000 acres, the specific costs of leasing this 10,000 acres are already a substantial amount.
Moreover, if we genuinely intend to construct such a large tourist resort in the village, it will inevitably affect all the villagers. After all, when you add up all the farmland in our village, it's almost equivalent to this figure, without taking into account the surrounding mountains and wasteland.
However, if the tourist resort that Wu Hao mentioned is genuinely established, even if some of the villagers still have some land left unused, they can fully develop other supplementary businesses in the future. This will boost the income of all the households in the village. Consequently, all the residents in the village will naturally become more prosperous.
As the village head, Wu Sancai, upon hearing Wu Hao's words, naturally thought of these scenarios. That's why he inquired with some uncertainty.
Observing this, Wu Hao simply smiled and said, "Uncle Sancai, I understand what you're thinking. Don't worry, I am serious about building the tourist resort. Although my initial goal was to use the name of the resort to make our house legal, my secondary objective is to help the village become more prosperous."
Although building a tourist resort is no easy task, and the expenses involved are at least in the billions, Wu Hao doesn't mind. Even if the future resort doesn't do much business, it's fine by him.
In reality, Wu Hao's goal in constructing this resort is to acquire land for his own use. In many foreign countries, buying land is much simpler; if you find a piece of land for sale, you can purchase it, and that land becomes yours permanently.
But in China, it's different; private individuals are not allowed to buy land. Land can only be leased, and the maximum lease term is 80 years. However, considering that policies can change, there isn't a significant difference between leasing for 80 years and having permanent ownership. In essence, permanent ownership just sounds more comforting, giving you the feeling that the land will always be yours.
However, you also need to think, can you live forever? Will current policies remain unchanged for decades?
When Wu Sancai heard Wu Hao confirm this again, he felt excited and thrilled. "Wu Hao, you've done something incredible for our village! Previously, you not only contributed money to repair the village's roads, but now you're investing in the village's development to help everyone become prosperous."
It's no surprise that Wu Sancai is so thrilled. After all, he is the village head, and with such a substantial investment in the village, it's like a feather in his cap. Moreover, as the village prospers in the future, his position as the village head will be significantly elevated, even rivaling some leaders in the town.
You need to understand that their town is currently just an ordinary inland small town, lacking any decent investment projects or industrial facilities. If Wu Hao's investment in this resort becomes a reality, not to mention the other benefits, it's enough to propel the current town leaders several levels higher.
So, in the following hours, Wu Hao conversed with Wu Sancai for a while, and when Wu Sancai left his home brimming with excitement, Wu Hao turned to his parents, saying, "Mom, this time I've not only come back to handle family matters but also arranged for someone to buy a highly effective gene drug from abroad. If Dad takes this drug, he'll recover from his illness."
Naturally, Wu Hao kept the origin of the elixir a secret. Despite dealing with his own family, there were certain things better kept to himself. Revealing these secrets to his parents and loved ones would only create unnecessary emotional burdens.
In addition to the elixir, Wu Hao also refrained from informing his parents and family about his telekinetic abilities and the secret base he built. It wasn't about distrust; it was a matter of being cautious in conversations held in the presence of many, as secrets could inadvertently slip out and become public knowledge.
So, for now, it was better to keep certain matters to himself. Moreover, for his parents, whether it was his telekinesis or the advanced technology development base, it all seemed too unbelievable, too much like science fiction. Given their current understanding, it would be hard for them to accept.
Even if Wu Hao were to confess, it's not the right time yet. When the moment is right, everything will fall into place naturally. It's similar to when he told his parents about winning the lottery. Back then, their astonishment upon learning about his several-million-won jackpot was immense. But now, even if Wu Hao were to disclose his net worth in billions, it wouldn't elicit the same astonishment as before.
For instance, when Wu Hao mentioned his plan to build a resort earlier, his parents reacted with surprise but not shock.
However, now, when Zhang Huilan heard Wu Hao talk about purchasing a drug that could heal his father, she became incredibly excited. "Son, you're not joking, are you? Is there really a special drug that can cure your father?" It's no wonder Zhang Huilan was so excited. After all, she knew the details of Wu Hao's father's condition. He had late-stage cancer, a disease considered a death sentence by the hospital. Now, Wu Hao claimed there was a special drug that could cure it.
Even the most renowned experts and scholars, both domestic and international, would react similarly if they heard this.
"Mom, I'm telling the truth. This special drug was purchased from a research institute abroad that specializes in this area. It's still in the research phase because the production costs are extremely high, making mass production impossible. I had to go through great efforts just to acquire one course for Dad to use," Wu Hao continued with his fabricated story.
"Okay, okay. As long as it can cure your father's illness, that's all that matters," Zhang Huilan responded. She didn't quite understand the complex details Wu Hao was talking about. She only grasped one thing - that what Wu Hao said was true, and there indeed was a special drug like this.
As for the issues related to production costs, she disregarded them completely. However, Zhang Huilan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Son, this drug doesn't have any side effects, does it?"
