CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 301: DON’T WORRY, I’LL LEAVE YOU NOTHING

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lei just glanced at the decorative item and then chuckled, saying:

"That’s a pretty but useless little trinket, but you know, it’s not just a decoration."

As he spoke, Ouyang Lei reached out and grabbed the small decorative item.

Then, under Lin Yi’s gaze, he gently pulled the back of the cannon barrel, and a small toothpick instantly popped out from the cannon’s mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise!

It turns out this thing is actually a toothpick holder!

...

Due to the traffic congestion in Capital City, the car took a good hour before it arrived at the foot of Cannon Mountain.

Looking at the big lock on the iron gate in front, Lin Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes:

"Goodness, it’s all rusted. Are you trying to fool me with a wasteland?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lei watched the driver go to open the gate and said unhappily:

"It has been raining recently, I’m telling you, although this place looks quite desolate, the infrastructure inside is really decent!

You know, I actually feel a bit uneasy letting you use it..."

Hearing this, Lin Yi just pursed his lips and thought to himself, "I’d be a fool to believe you."

But to his surprise, Lin Yi was truly amazed as time went on.

Unexpectedly, a road actually led straight up to the mountainside.

Moreover, there was a large open area on the mountainside.

On estimation, it’s as large as a thousand acres.

This really surprised Lin Yi.

He initially wondered if it would be a steep peak, but who would have thought that the mountain was so expansive.

In this case, the usable area is indeed not small.

Not only that, after getting out of the car, Lin Yi was surprised to find that there was actually an airplane runway on top of the mountain!

This made Lin Yi once again exclaim in surprise!

Standing on the mountainside, looking over at the large flat land below and the high-rise buildings across a river in the distance, Lin Yi couldn’t help but nod:

"Hmm, it’s passable. Along with the land down there, it should roughly be around ten thousand acres..."

Hearing this, Ouyang Lei staggered directly:

"Oh my, that land can’t be given to you! I only agreed to give you this mountain. You see the fence over there? It starts counting from there. The rest won’t do."

"Oh come on, you can’t be so stingy, right? Besides, what am I supposed to do with just a wasteland? I can’t exactly level the mountain, can I? No way, let’s count from that river, and we need all this side. Don’t worry, I’ll pay!"

In the end, despite Lin Yi trying to reason and offer benefits, Ouyang Lei still didn’t relent.

Of course, he didn’t refuse too harshly but mentioned that he would report and negotiate it with higher-ups.

The premise being that there would be further research advancements in the beam propulsion engine.

This was essentially informing Lin Yi that the land below could be negotiable if he had research achievements.

Without any concrete achievements, just giving you this mountain is already showing considerable respect.

If it weren’t for the various achievements brought to Huaxia by the current Nuclear Fusion Group, even this mountain wouldn’t be available for your use!

Lin Yi, of course, understood this.

After a simple tour of the mountain in the car, besides the airplane runway, there were six slab buildings, a row of factories, and a shooting range.

Other than that, there were no other buildings.

Inside the Sixth Ring Road, having such a massive open space, it must be said, is truly a waste of resources.

After the tour, on the way back in the car, Lin Yi directly said:

"Let’s sign the agreement once we return, and also give me the construction blueprints here, so I can make modifications according to the drawings."

Of course, the reason Lin Yi wanted the blueprints wasn’t to use them as a reference, but to deconstruct and rebuild them.

After systematic deconstruction and rebuilding, these blueprints would surely become a set of quite perfect construction plans.

However, upon hearing this, Ouyang Lei directly shook his head and refused:

"That’s not possible; the construction blueprints here are confidential documents and can’t be casually handed over to you."

These words left Lin Yi speechless:

"My goodness, how are you thinking, bro? You’ve given me the place to use, and I can see all the actual things inside, can’t I? So tell me, would seeing the actual items or the blueprints result in a confidentiality breach?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Ouyang Lei just waved his hand with a smile and said:

"Don’t worry, in less than three days, there’ll be nothing left here except the most basic roads and immovable infrastructure..."

Uh...

Lin Yi opened his mouth and then simply shut it.

Goodness gracious, he had nothing to say to that...

Sure enough, three days later, when Lin Yi received a notification from Ouyang Lei and went back, the rusty lock on the front gate was the only thing that had not been taken away...

Looking at the small potholes by the roadside, Lin Yi couldn’t help but complain:

"My goodness, even the street lamps were removed?"
