A greedy Chinese homeowner in Jiangsu Province delayed a 38billion yuan railway project for two years by demanding to be paid millions of dollars for a modest house. In 2020, China officially started the development of an ambitious high-speed railway project connecting Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. The high-speed railway was supposed to be inaugurated in 2024, but because of the greedy house owner in Jiangsu, the official inauguration had to be postponed. While the Government couldn’t simply abandon a 38 billion yuan project because of one greedy homeowner, it could certainly delay it. For two years, construction on the high-speed railway stalled, but authorities kept communication channels with Aunt Zhang open, hoping that the situation would be resolved amicably.
