Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 428 The Last Month of the Year

Liu Shengxing had seen people who were rich and powerful.

But I've never seen anyone spend money like Chet Lam.

Lin Yifeng, however, did not care about any of this.

It has to be said that the newspaper made him a lot of money this year. From the initial acquisition of the newspaper for 200,000 yuan, if the newspaper were to be sold at market price now, it would be worth at least four or five million yuan.

In particular, the newspaper receives nearly 800,000 yuan in monthly revenue. After deducting the money spent on the property purchase, the newspaper still has more than 4 million yuan in operating funds in its account after a year.

If a small portion of the money is allocated to allow the newspaper to acquire a printing plant, it would enable the Minsheng Daily to provide a complete one-stop service.

Lin Yifeng's idea was very simple.

The idea was to first secure the printing plant and increase production capacity before gradually expanding to other regions.

The main reason Lin Yifeng was so confident was that the university town project was nearing completion.

Once it's nearing its end, the investment won't be as large, and Lin Yifeng will have more spare cash to use for other businesses.

The best opportunity is for a newspaper that has made little progress in the past year.

Lin Yifeng smiled at Liu Shengxing.

"I'll leave this to you to handle."

"Once you've found a factory, we'll go for a face-to-face meeting."

Seeing that Lin Yifeng still hadn't changed his mind, Liu Shengxing could only sigh helplessly.

He was completely baffled by the situation.

After all, this is no small matter, but for the newspaper, acquiring the printing plant has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of Liken is that it has higher profits, but the downside is that the current size of the newspaper is not enough to support the revenue of a printing plant, so it may need to take on some extra income after the acquisition.

After leaving the newspaper office, Lin Yifeng headed straight for the university town.

Nearly five months have passed since the University Town project was scheduled to open, and progress on the University Town side has been steady.

From a completely barren plain area, high-rise buildings have been erected in just six months, and the campus is basically complete. Currently, it is in the stage of preparing to pave roads.

Lin Yifeng had just arrived here in the morning when he was startled by the scene before him.

The section from the national highway and expressway intersection in Pingyuan New Area has been basically completed, and the government road administration has also paved brand-new asphalt roads leading to every gate of the campus.

Lin Yifeng had a smooth journey. When he arrived at the campus, the teachers' college campus was in the stage of soft decoration, and many interiors were beginning to be tiled.

A large number of bookshelves and bunk beds have been moved into the dormitory building in turn.

It has to be said that the campus renovation here is progressing much faster than usual. With the government's support, everything is convenient here.

Just as Lin Yifeng was strolling around the campus, a sharp-eyed contractor recognized him at a glance.

"President Lin! What brings you here!"

The foreman straightened his safety helmet and strode towards Lin Yifeng.

He hurriedly grabbed cigarettes and a lighter from his shoulder bag.

Lin Yifeng smiled and declined briefly, then looked the contractor up and down. Although he couldn't remember the man's name, his gold teeth were gleaming.

"No need."

"I've come to see how it's going."

The contractor smiled and cooperated.

"well!"

"It went so smoothly!"

"Boss, you guys aren't short of money either. When the brothers go back this year, they'll definitely have a good New Year."

The contractor was grinning from ear to ear.

In all his years in the construction industry, this was the first time he had encountered a boss who was so quick to pay. Even though it was a collaboration with the government, the government was always slow and hesitant to release funds to other people.

For these construction workers, the most worrying thing is definitely the issue of wages, but after cooperating with Lin Yifeng, they are not worried at all that Lin Yifeng will not pay the final payment.

After finishing the school's construction projects this year, many of my staff will surely be able to go back and have a happy New Year.

How could the contractor not be happy to see Lin Yifeng, this big boss?

Seeing that someone could help guide him, Lin Yifeng asked the contractor to lead him around the campus.

The contractor took Lin Yifeng on a tour.

It must be said that the design of the Teachers' College is indeed quite different from that of other schools.

Perhaps because they were so poor before, now with the support of the Muye Municipal Government, plus the funding from the Provincial Department of Education and Lin Yifeng, the Teachers' College is engaging in a kind of revenge spending spree.

In addition to building student dormitories and two student canteens, a special residential area for teachers' families was also built to provide them with a stable place to live.

Within the school, the teachers' college also built a large stadium to provide the best environment for the students.

In addition to these things related to teaching and life, the teachers' college also specially set aside a piece of land to dig an artificial lake, and used the soil from the artificial lake and the foundation to build a rockery.

The artificial hill and lake are almost ready; all that's left is to fill them with water and transplant flowers next spring.

What Lin Yifeng didn't expect was that the teachers' college had specially created a flower field and garden, giving it a lot of artistic flair.

In Baotou's parlance, these schools are expected to be able to open normally next spring, and most students will be able to come here to attend classes.

Lin Yifeng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

Currently, in the Pingyuan University Town area, thanks to Lin Yifeng's efforts to get the four universities in Muye City to start construction ahead of schedule, the construction of school buildings is nearing completion.

Conversely, the other universities in the industrial and commercial city have not made much progress.

Because of the onset of winter, much of the land is undevelopable, and some schools haven't even had their foundations laid, bringing the entire project to a standstill.
