Once the greetings were over, the meal was ordered and while waiting for the dishes to be served, business talks started.
"Have you thought about what you would in exchange of what we agreed upon?" Raya asked with a calm tone, but her heart was actually racing.
She didn’t know what this young grandmaster would ask of them. After all, she didn’t lack money. She was quite surprised that after the new land was transferred to her, within a short time she was already starting construction.
After seeing how much the new project was worth, and combining it with the current, where she was building her house, Raya, honestly was at a loss of words.
Who build a house worth more than U$1 billion? That was worth several billions of Atharian dollars. Do you know how many good governmental projects that kind of money would do?
As if that is not enough, she splurged more than U$2 billion again, and all this money was used and spent in less than a year. This was just something concerning the two projects. What about the rest?
The foundations alone were spending hundreds of millions in just months. What about the companies?
For someone like her, with so much money, it was hard for them to really understand what kind of benefits she might want from them.
After all, the last time they parted with land. She should have enough land for now. Would she want more?
She wasn’t certain and was pretty much nervous.
However, Diamond didn’t have such thoughts. There was no such thing as too much. Every single day money was being spent. Moreover, having more brought so much security. How could she not be greedy for more?
Besides, when something benefits her, she didn’t mind hoarding thousands or billions of it.
Diamond looked at the other lady with beaming eyes and smilingly responded, "How about more land?" while tilting her head.
Raya was stunned at that response. She wasn’t expecting that she would ask for more land. If there was one thing that the country didn’t lack, it was land.
There was a lot of undeveloped land just lying idle and coming in the way of the country’s development and progress.
Of course, one of the major reasons why land remained that way was due to the government lack of funds. The money that the government has, it has a lot of purposes. It all cant just be diverted towards developing the country through infrastructure and the like.
As for the real estate companies and the like, when people are broke and cant afford to buy houses, where would the market be?
So, there weren’t many of them interested in doing such projects which might send them under.
As a result, the country has a lot of land to spare, but with only few willing buyers.
Life is truly tough.
However, after the shock passed, Raya became very happy.
There was one thing that even the others from the above told her to do without pressure. As long as Diamond wants to develop the country in any way, they should support her.
The more she invests in the country, the more unwilling she would be in the future to leave.
Grandmasters were an allure and anywhere they want to go, they were welcomed with open arms. If they let such a young talented grandmaster be enticed by other countries, their loss would be great.
It was better to hold her down in their country with every trick that they could do.
"You really want the land? Are you sure?" to be certain, Raya asked, masking her excitement with a cool façade.
Diamond chuckled as she looked Raya and nodded. "Yep. I have been thinking hard about it. That piece of land you gave me. I plan to build a park- my park. The kind where I put all of my companies’ head offices, and the like.
After reviewing that plan, I realized that there were a lot of good stuff missing. So, I thought about it, long and hard. Why not acquire more land and achieve my dreams there?" she chucklingly said before adding, "I want land to build schools, housing apartments for my staff. Even if not for them, then other people. I don’t mind collecting rent and becoming a landlady. I want to build orphanages, care centres for the elderly and if the land is really that good, then add a few more farms. Having more food to feed the people isn’t so bad.

"Haha, I am a very patient person," she chucklingly responded while adding inwardly, ’besides, developing land will require more money. I still need to earn more. I can’t recklessly touch my balance. My heart will ache.’
