How to gamble? Li Lan's point was to continue building the road, since they basically had all the materials.

As for the remuneration, forget about the 50-year rental rights; sell them. As for who to sell them to, it depends on who offers the highest price!

This is exactly what Yang Guofu had in mind when he first started this project! Did he want the rental rights? Forget it. Desert Country is so poor, so calling it Golden City makes it rich? You're overthinking it!

So why would even the shrewd Yang Guofu embark on such a project? Because the Second Construction Group has a large urban complex project nearby. It's essentially building a new city right next to Golden City. Once that new city is built, the land prices and popularity of the nearby Brilliant Village will skyrocket!

Alas, man proposes, God disposes. The sudden outbreak of the pandemic disrupted the Second Construction Group's plans. Coupled with the intensified war in the Desert Country, the Second Construction Group's large urban complex has clearly stalled.

So, what glory is there in Brilliant Village? I've always felt that Yang Guofu's refusal to return to China was certainly due to his father's illness. In reality, it was also because he wanted to cut his losses and wasn't willing to invest any more money.
