Abstract: In this article, for each finitely presented group $ G$, we construct a family of minimal symplectic $ 4$-manifolds with $ \pi_1 =G$ which cover most lattice points $ (x, {\mathbf c})$ with $ x$ large in the region $ 0 \leq {\mathbf c} < 9x$. Furthermore, we show that all these $ 4$-manifolds admit infinitely many distinct smooth structures.
