Gu Xu and his team moved quickly, investing three hundred million under the name of Diecuiyuan in the Changhua local government. They opened up mountains and built roads, planted fruit trees, and dug ponds to draw fresh water. The government, intoxicated by Gu Xu's charms, naively believed that they truly intended to build a rural leisure villa in the mountain range, and almost without further consideration, they swiftly agreed to their requests and contracted the vast expanse of abandoned hills and fields encompassing the Chicken Blood Stone mine to Gu Xu and his team.
Little did they know, Gu Xu's strategy was just an open play, hiding his real intentions. As soon as he learned that the abandoned iron mine was unmanaged, he thought of deceiving everyone with this covert operation, which would neither arouse the local government's suspicion nor prevent him from legitimately acquiring usage rights to the mountain.
