Life at The Top novel Chapter 678

Chad did not mind. He knew that most of the time, knowing too much would only turn out troublesome, especially since he was not a formidable person.

Thankful, Chad quickly excused himself and walked over to the podium.

Chad then began to give an unnecessary opening speech to introduce the plot of land for formality’s sake.

Meanwhile, Mr. Powers and Jasper began to chat privately between themselves below.

“Mr. Laine, the higher-ups state that as long as what you spoke of was the truth, then we’re willing to provide the best discounts for you,” Mr. Powers relayed.

Jasper was not surprised. It was a large investment, one every city in the country needed. Reed City’s stance on the matter was rather satisfactory.

“What are the specifics?” Jasper asked.

“The tax payable for your business in Reed City for the first five years would be free for the first two, then for the following three, there’ll be a 50% discount. Tax for the next five years after that will also be halved. Tax will only be paid in full after the ten-year mark. In return, Mr. Laine, you are required to employ at least 4,000 local workers,” Mr. Powers explained.

“No problem. There’s no way I’d look for workers from elsewhere. This is a very logical request,” Jasper replied.

The duo’s discussion had a great start and Mr. Powers smiled as he continued to speak, “The city government will be in charge of the traffic and road work around your electronic equipment factory. The city government also promises at least three public transport routes to your factory.

“In the future, should Reed City begin constructing railway lines, the city government promises that your electronics factory will be our first target to consider.”
