Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 258

With a flourish, Nathan pulled out a folder and handed it to Penny.

There was a grin on his face as he said, "The mayor felt like the plot of land at Phoenix has no potential to be a tourist attraction, which is why they changed it to development land just now. Look, these are the relevant documents."

Everyone was taken aback at his words.

Feeling joy bubble in her yet not daring to hope, Penny took the folder. "Really?"

"I'll never lie to you, Penn," Nathan replied with a warm smile.

Very quickly, she finished reading through all the documents. Elated, she said tearfully, "Oh my god! You really weren't lying. We can really build our factory in Phoenix. Thank goodness!"

Gaping, the Smiths rushed over and surrounded her, jostling each other as they tried to read the documents for themselves.

Once they had confirmed for themselves the plot of land at Phoenix had become development land, they were absolutely dumbfounded.

If the land had remained an ecological reserve, it would not be worth much from an economical point of view. Even selling it at the low price of five hundred million would not have netted any interest.

However, if it was designated as development land and could be developed...

It was worth two billion at the least!

Having sold it for one billion a few days ago, that would mean Sean was suffering a net loss of one billion.

The Smiths' faces were ugly as they realized what they had let slip through their fingers. Regret was too mild a word for what they were currently feeling.

Deciding to bite the bullet, Sean spoke up, "Penny, could we cancel our deal? I'll give you back your money and you can return

me the land?"

Scoffing, Penny did not even hesitate for a second as she refused, "No!"
