The radio broadcasted the news in a clear and concise tone, and even the TV on Castle in the Sky was reporting it. The plans for the scenic area and new city were also released.
At first, no one paid much attention to it. They were too busy laughing at Flynn for being a fool. But gradually, their laughter died down as they listened to the news.
The scene fell silent.
Then suddenly, everyone started talking at once like thunder.
“Is it true? Are they really building Ostrad’s third largest wetland park in Ponocord Bay? And planning a new city around it?”
“Our land is also located in Ponocord Bay! We have 1, 000 acres! If we develop villas or if the government expropriates our land, we’ll make a fortune!”
“Flynn was right… the government really wants to develop Ponocord Bay into a wetland park and Niarak’s New District. The price of land will increase by dozens of times…”
After everyone recovered from their shock, they began pounding their chests and stamping their feet. Some even fainted from disbelief.
A 10, 000-acre wetland park, coupled with the development of a new Niarak district, a state investment of 300 billion, Ponocord Bay would be transformed from wasteland to a goldmine!
From 200 million to 2 billion in an instant, how many years would the Kaur family need to invest to earn this much? Even with smooth sailing, it would take decades!
If they had followed Flynn’s advice and grabbed a few dozen acres back then, they could have become wealthy easily! Now, they had nothing!
Braiden was also surprised.
Ponocord Bay was originally barren, but now it had become a sought-after area, attracting investors, and the real estate market was sure to be hot.
Leveraging his family’s substantial funds and connections, it took him three years to earn 1 billion.
Flynn, this seemingly inconspicuous figure, transformed himself with just a thousand acres of wasteland, becoming a billionaire.
It was truly enviable!
Charlotte regretted and resented.
She also had a hundred acres of land!
Selling it to others would have been bearable.
But fate had it that Flynn was the one who acquired her contract!
She had hoped for Flynn’s misfortune every day.
Yet, he soared to the top, becoming a billionaire with several billion acres of land.
And she could only rely on her job, earning a few thousand a month…
Paulina was even more frantic, exclaiming to Madeline, “Madeline, did we sell all our land to Rose? Couldn’t we have kept a portion?”
“No… no, over a hundred acres… all sold to Ms. Sharp,” Madeline said with a pale face, biting her lip.
Flynn had emphasized more than once that Ponocord Bay would be developed, and the value of their land would increase by tens of times.
But no one believed him.
Thinking of this, Madeline turned to look at Flynn, her face filled with complexity, feeling particularly uncomfortable inside.
If they had listened to him, the Kaur family’s net worth would have instantly multiplied by tens of times. With that piece of land in Ponocord Bay, becoming a billionaire within a few years would not have been impossible.
But now…
“What? Why didn’t you keep some? Even ten acres would have been fine!” Paulina regretted deeply, fuming in circles.
Madeline rolled her eyes and lamented, “I wanted to keep some initially, but you kept pushing to sell, emphasizing that even at half price, we should sell…”
“Did I say that?” Paulina’s face turned red. After choking for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and said, “That waste Flynn knew the land would be valuable, yet he didn’t stop you. I think he’s deliberately favoring Rose!”
Madeline felt speechless, adding, “Mom, you told me to keep it a secret from Flynn. He didn’t know about selling to Rose. Besides, he stopped us twice before. The second time, he even fought with the Rhinowares Group’s boss, only to be scolded by you…”
Paulina was left dumbfounded.
Upon hearing this news, Flynn was surprisingly calm.
He had known about this information from Travis long ago but hadn’t expected the official announcement to come now.
However, looking at the development plan, he understood. The scenic area, combined with the new city, covered an area of 100, 000 acres. The project was massive, and the state needed careful research and discussion on funding, area allocation, and city planning. Taking a bit more time was reasonable.
Just then, Flynn’s phone rang.
“Brother-in-law, you’re amazing! Have you seen the news? Ponocord Bay has truly become a prime location!” Scarlet exclaimed with joy.
Although she had known about it beforehand, until the official announcement, everything was uncertain. Now, she finally felt relieved.
Flynn had promised to let her become the manager, taking a ten percent share of the profit.
What did that mean?
The land in Ponocord Bay was now worth over 3 billion. If developed, it would bring in tens of billions in profit. Ten percent meant 1 billion!
Flynn, with a calm expression, replied, “Yes, have you found the decoration company?”
He wasn’t particularly interested in the money. The land, worth several billion, was like finding ten dollars on the street-just another thing.
“We found one, and it’s expected to be completed within three days. We’ve also posted recruitment information, and the company will be up and running soon!” Scarlet reported.
Flynn nodded and smiled, “Seems like you’re doing well. Good job!”
“Of course! Making money for you is making money for me. How can I not be dedicated?” Scarlet laughed and then asked cautiously, “Is everything okay on my cousin’s side? After all, they sold the land.”
“I don’t know,” Flynn replied indifferently. “Focus on your planning. I’m leaving the company to you.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
In the corridor, the Kaur family members continued to lament, wishing they could crash into the wall and die.
“What a great opportunity, and we missed it. This is fate!” Frank regretted, shaking his head uncontrollably.
If that piece of land hadn’t been sold, the Kaur family could have jumped into the ranks of second-tier luxury estates with it.
Why bother looking for projects tirelessly, only to earn a few tens of millions a year?
“We may not have land in our hands, but we can collaborate with Flynn!”
“Yes! Even if we get a small share, we can still make a decent profit!”
“Look at the development plan; there will be a thousand-acre lake next to that piece of land. If we build a villa community, we’re sure to make a fortune!”
The Kaur family members were all excited.
Although they didn’t own any land, they could collaborate with Flynn and get a share. Even with a few dozen acres in a joint project, the Kaur family could still make a substantial profit. It was a great opportunity.
The patriarch smiled and called out to Flynn inside, “My good grandson-in-law, I have something to discuss with you. Can you come out for a moment?”
“Flynn, you’re all family. Give them a chance,” Odin whispered to him when he saw Flynn’s grim expression.
Flynn got up and walked toward the door.
The Kaur family members were excitedly rubbing their hands, their eyes shining.
For them, Flynn was a walking money machine. A few shakes and it would be enough to sustain the Kaur family for years.
Flynn glanced at the Kaur family members and said indifferently, “You’re chattering here and disturbing my peace. I was originally thinking of having you kicked out. But considering Odin spoke up for you, I’ll give you one more chance.”
With that, he gestured to the Castle in Sky’s butler and commanded, “If they’re still here in a minute, evict them from the Staraid Hotel! Never accept reservations from the Kaur family again!”
