However, whether you plan to open a research institute or try to reduce costs, it's fine.

You can't just do nothing.

Inaction is, to some extent, a crime.

Why didn't Qin Tian do it?

That's simply because he himself didn't know what to do.

To be honest, he was still too unfamiliar with the motorcycle industry, or even the automotive industry in general. So unfamiliar that he didn't even know how to approach his work.

"Little Shou," Qin Tian said earnestly, patting Qin Shou on the shoulder.

Qin Shou shuddered, his voice trembling slightly: "Brother, what do you want to do?"

"Come help me out, bro."

"No, brother, I'm still very busy." Qin Shou waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, you're not busy." Qin Tian smiled.

Qin Shou felt that his end was near.

Whether Qin Shou's reign ended or not was of little concern to Wang Shouren.

Actually, selling goods these days isn't that difficult. At Wang Shouren's level, people practically beg for his goods. His industrial park is different from those other flashy, cheap imitations. Currently, Mr. Wang is being harassed by two other women.

"So, after all that thinking, this is what you two came up with?" Wang Shouren looked at the plan Qin Huairu had given him and rubbed his temples, looking a bit annoyed.

"What's wrong with that?" Qin Huairu asked.

Although she wasn't involved in affairs much anymore, she still felt the issues raised by Lou Xiao'e needed careful consideration. What if the capital city of Beijing really was going to be requisitioned?

"It's too early to talk about this now," Wang Shouren shook his head.

Even he, who had traveled from the future, wasn't as anxious as Lou Xiao'e. He had no idea what this girl was so anxious about.

“Those people over there have gone mad,” Lou Xiao’e said. “I’m not optimistic about their development, and by the same token, our country…”

"Wait, wait, wait..." Wang Shouren interrupted Lou Xiao'e, "If I remember correctly, the real estate market over there is still booming. How did you come to that conclusion?"

The bubble burst on the "Little Life" side of life after 1991. It's only the end of 1984 now, so it's still a long way off.

"Things are getting increasingly crazy over there, and I'm not optimistic. Leaving aside whether they'll run into problems, they've already acquired a lot of land. Prices in Tokyo, the capital, have also skyrocketed. Right now, we can reduce costs with technology, but what about the future? We need to plan ahead, right?"

Wang Shouren: ...

Wang Shouren had no idea where Lou Xiao'e's thinking came from. Planning ahead a little in advance was understandable. But planning decades ahead was beyond his comprehension. Even if it were 2004, let alone 1984, it would still be possible to get involved in aquaculture. Besides, the land in Qinjiacun belonged to the village. Given the current state of the buildings, even in 2004, the authorities might not necessarily be willing to take it back.

To put it simply, every place has an economic center.

As the population grows, surrounding buildings will naturally follow.

For example, Wang Shouren's industrial park is right next to Oriental Renaissance, which has a food street.

The same is true for Qin Family Village. Originally, the roads around Qin Family Village were difficult to travel on, but now they are incredibly well-connected. Moreover, most people from nearby villages have been absorbed into Qin Family Village for work. Markets are also mostly located near Qin Family Village. Various other measures have gradually appeared in the surrounding area because of Qin Family Village's development.

Recently, Qinjiacun has even been considering building a school, ideally with both primary and secondary schools located within the village.

If the authorities decide to demolish such a complex, it won't be a matter of just a few words.

Competition is certainly a problem. However, it's not something we need to address right now.

What Wang Shouren didn't know was that Lou Xiao'e had learned all these habits from him. Lou Xiao'e loved to look for the subtle moves Wang Shouren had seemingly made when she was bored. She believed that the smooth sailing she had experienced since 1980 was due to Wang Shouren's planning that had begun more than a decade earlier. Therefore, she gradually began to focus her attention on the next decade or even decades.

But she wasn't a time traveler after all; if she wanted to see more than a decade into the future, things wouldn't be so simple. There was a lot more to it than just a few things to investigate.

So she turned her attention abroad. After all, foreign countries are now far ahead of China, and perhaps they can see the future of China in them.

This road isn't wrong either.

Since opening up, China has done a pretty good job of learning from the US.

This led Lou Xiao'e to become somewhat obsessed, feeling that it was always right to make plans first.

“Setting up a farm is not as simple as you might think. You should go and ask around before making any decisions,” Wang Shouren shook his head.

Where they were located was Beijing, and no matter what happened outside, they had to ensure the development of Beijing.

Do you really think you can just open a farm whenever you want?

The reason that farm in Shenzhen was able to open was because of the strong support from local officials. They provided everything they needed: roads, loans, water, and electricity. The infrastructure was all in place, which allowed it to open smoothly.

"Why don't you just say it directly?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes.

"Putting aside other things, water, electricity, and roads are the three most basic necessities. According to your idea, if you set up a farm in another place, can that 'other place' meet our needs? Even if it does, will that place still belong to us? The right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable."

In any era, there are always poor places and rich places.

If things were really easy to solve, they would have been solved long ago.

"I think you're lying to me," Lou Xiao'e said after thinking for a moment.

Ultimately, she still didn't quite believe that everyone across the country wanted to be rich.

"Too early, far too early." Wang Shouren shook his head: "You only saw it in Beijing. You know what happened to those seven people in Hangzhou. Let's think about it again in a few years."

Actually, no matter how much the authorities say they want to open up the economy, some people still have doubts. During the 1980s and 90s, quite a few people were imprisoned for buying and selling goods. This isn't a joke; some of them, once inside, might have even been given a peanut as a reward. The current environment doesn't allow them to do such things.
