Evidence?
Shen Wan chuckled, suddenly harboring strong doubts about Yi Hong’s intelligence.
“That piece of land is conveniently located on the south coast by the sea, surrounded by excellent infrastructure. The most important thing is that there is a vast undeveloped beach area there, not only with fine sand but also boasting the rare pink sands in the country. Such a place, do you think it’s meant for building office buildings instead of a resort?”
While Shen Wan spoke, Yi Hong’s heart raced, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.
All because the information he had received indicated that Tian Shui Real Estate intended to plan commercial development on this piece of land, including the construction of office buildings, and even promoted it as the “North Sea Second Central Business District.”
If all this information turned out to be false…
Shen Wan knew that when someone started to doubt, it was best to fan the flames further.
“If Mr. Yi doesn’t believe it, you can have professionals provide a geological assessment report to see if that area indeed has a largely undeveloped beach and if there are red sand beach landscapes on the shores with numerous coral reefs in the southwest sea area. The facts are right in front of you. What more evidence does Mr. Yi want?”

“Perhaps you could contemplate this hypothetical situation: If Shen Qian acquires this land, the seaside resort project will kick off without delay. At the latest, it will be planned and constructed within the next year, accompanied by some initial promotional efforts to build its reputation… 1 anticipate that, in the not-so-distant future, when tourists discuss the Sea and Sky Source Resort, they will naturally refer to a specific seaside getaway.”
“Are you threatening me?” The man’s demeanor changed in an instant, his voice freezing to the bone.
“No, I’m simply making reasonable speculations within reasonable bounds, Mr. Yi, you can choose to believe or not.”
Yi Hong fell into a long silence.
Shen Wan didn’t rush him, giving him the time to contemplate.
In truth, what she had said wasn’t mere fabrication. It was a real story from her past life.
Shen Qian had long planned to develop a seaside resort in Beihai. He even hired a professional assessment team to inspect the area, which took nearly a year for the preliminary preparations.
The result showed that Beihai was indeed promising, but Hengyi Group had already almost monopolized the coastal tourism market.
However, Shen Qian was not one to easily give up.
Just then, news about the auction of the third plot of land on the south coast came out, rekindling Shen Qian’s hope.
Publicly, he claimed that the land would be used for commercial district construction, but the reality was different. Even before the approval was granted, he had already planned the building structure and signed contracts with building material suppliers.
So, in less than half a year, “Tian Shui Resort” emerged.
Shen Qian initially had the advertising agency discreetly release “soft advertisements” online, and he invited the top ten travel bloggers with the highest online popularity to stay for free and experience it. Several posts on the internet caused a sensation in Beihai out of nowhere, and “Tian Shui Resort” followed suit.
Next, they unexpectedly discovered the yet-to-be-developed pink sandy beach in this area. One should know that globally, such a wonder was found only in the Bahamas region. It’s safe to say that even the heavens were on Shen Qian’s side.
Finally, they unleashed another powerful wave of “hard-hitting advertising” to make their presence felt, including sponsorships, endorsements, and television show integrations…
With the successful marketing of “Tian Shui Resort”, a large number of tourists flocked in. Two years later, the Sea and Sky Source Hotel became completely deserted.
It was only much later that Yi Hong realized he had been duped by Shen Qian, but by then, he had lost his qualification to compete.
Misfortunes never come singly. A single investment failure eventually led to the bankruptcy of the once-flourishing Hengyi Group, and Yi Hong disappeared from the scene..
