After seeing his friend off, Xi Huai'an returned home.
He looked at Xu Yun and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to agree on the spot. I thought you'd at least need a few days to think it over."
"If it were anyone else, I certainly would have considered it."
Xu Yun smiled and replied, "But since you're the one who arranged this, I couldn't let you lose face."
"Even though I know you're full of it, kid, I'm still happy to hear you say that."
Xi Huai'an explained, "Although you spent one billion to take over an unfinished project, which seems like a bad deal right now, you won't lose out in the long run.
Based on my understanding of him, with your generosity and boldness, he definitely won't rip you off. The land he gives you in exchange will probably be the best he has.
Also, by helping the government solve a major problem like this, they'll owe you a favor.
In the future, when you have to deal with them for other matters, things will go much more smoothly.
