"Permanent free use of the land?" Li Lan confirmed with a tone of disbelief.
"Hahaha! Aren't you a bit too greedy? That's the land we've toiled to cultivate!
If we were in a partnership, you'd have the right to use it for free, I've never shortchanged a business partner.
But you won't be my partners in the future, and we can't continue working together for long.
As a businessman, I naturally have to prioritize my own interests first, I'm sure you understand what I mean," Zhu Wencong shook his head.
Li Lan felt a headache coming on, as Zhu Wencong held not only San Francisco's land but also that of Los Angeles, the state capital, and other cities.
It was all because the local bigwigs surrendered to Zhu Wencong too early and handed over all their land to Jiuding Capital.
Initially, it was Li Lan who had brought these local leaders together to promote the railroad in California, but halfway through, Zhu Wencong intercepted them.
