For people who have always lived in the East Asian cultural circle, it seems that only alcohol can break the reservedness that seems to be engraved in their genes.

But what the true nature underneath this reserved and introverted state is depends on one's personal cultivation and ability.

There has never been any such thing as drunken sex or drunken behavior. There has only been exposure of one's true nature after alcohol has torn apart one's disguise.

If you do bad things after drinking, it's because your nature is evil. Alcohol is not an excuse for anything.

Fortunately, none of the people present here are that kind of people.

After three cups and two drinks in about half an hour, the women who had almost finished eating took their children out to play in the entertainment facilities in the mall. This is also the advantage of eating in a mall.

After the woman and the child left, Han Zhiyuan and the others lit up their cigarettes and returned to the topic of their chat.

Huo Qianli also told the two old men about his more detailed ideas. Like Guo Haoran, the two old men also knew Huo Qianli's preliminary ideas before, but now that they were dealing with specific content, their attitudes became cautious.

This is also easy to understand. Just like a student tells his parents that he wants to study hard, grasp Chinese, math, and English, and then focus on comprehensive learning, the parents will definitely nod in agreement, and at most give some directional suggestions;

But when students break down the problem into specific actions such as "I want to read a lot for Chinese, so give me money to buy some books; I want to hire a beautiful female tutor for math so I can learn more; I want to find a foreign girlfriend for English," parents will consider the matter carefully.

Professor He flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked, "Have you calculated your investment amount?"

Huo Qianli nodded, "About 30 million, the first phase investment is about 15 million."

Professor He did not say much about the amount, but asked: "Have you ever calculated the operating costs for a year?"

Huo Qianli shook his head honestly, "I haven't calculated this in detail yet."

"You need to calculate it. It doesn't need to be exact, but at least you can get a rough estimate." Professor He looked at him, "With this, you can calculate your break-even point. Add to that your expectation of getting back your tens of millions of dollars of investment, and you will know how many passengers you need to maintain operations. And where can you find these passengers? Can your current investment support them? Or is there too much surplus? Should you reduce your investment? Also, can the environment of Hushan Village support the influx of these facilities and personnel? Green GDP is very important now."

Huo Qianli nodded repeatedly as he listened. This was something he had originally thought of asking a third-party company to do after a conclusion was made, and he had not paid much attention to it. But now after hearing what Professor He said, he really couldn't just put it aside as a formality, and had to take it very seriously.

Guo Haoran glanced at Huo Qianli, expecting to see solemnity and even a hint of frustration on his junior's face, but he did not expect Huo Qianli's eyes to light up and he was actually a little excited.

Guo Haoran was a little confused, but he didn't know what Huo Qianli was thinking at the moment.

Professor He's few simple sentences cover a lot of content, and almost every one of them requires collecting a lot of data for calculation and then making a comprehensive decision.

This does mean a huge workload, but from another perspective, the more these problems are exposed and solved, the clearer the direction will be and the greater the possibility of success.

Huo Qianli looked at Professor He, "Anything else?"

Han Zhiyuan laughed and scolded: "You are just like a child asking for candy, and you are still not satisfied!"

Huo Qianli chuckled and raised his glass in a toast.

Han Zhiyuan put down his wine glass and said, "Your idea is good. It can be regarded as a relatively feasible way for Hushan Village and your town. But there is a problem. How do you solve this investment?"

Then, without waiting for Huo Qianli to answer, he didn't want him to show his weakness in front of Guo Haoran, so he said first: "If your town or industrial park does it yourself, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to come up with so much money. If it's to attract investment, others have paid the money, why should they listen to you?"

Guo Haoran nodded in agreement after hearing this. Attracting investment is nothing more than providing a business environment, but if the overall business plan has to be decided by the town, why would others be the one to be taken advantage of?

Huo Qianli was silent for a moment and looked at Han Zhiyuan. "What about the joint venture? The village provides the land, the enterprise provides the funds, and we jointly establish a joint venture company to unify the operations of the park."

Han Zhiyuan nodded. "It's an idea, but the question remains, who is in charge? The company pays and you are in charge, will the company agree? You have designed the entire route. Even if you are extremely lucky and find someone who fully agrees with your current ideas, what about the future? What if there are disagreements during the development process?"

Guo Haoran had an idea, "What if we raise funds? The industrial park can put out some things as collateral, ask the bank to grant credit, and the government can coordinate with us. We should be able to find a way to get 20 million."

"Nonsense!" Professor He spoke before Han Zhiyuan could say anything. This was his student, so he was more fluent in scolding him. "Can Hushan Village, with its limited economic foundation, withstand such a big turmoil? It would be fine if it succeeds, but if it fails, when do you think they will be able to pay back the 20 or 30 million? Does Qianfu Town have the financial resources to cover the cost for them?"

Huo Qianli said slowly: "So it boils down to two points. First, we need to find an investor to solve the funding problem and avoid leaving a huge financial risk for Qianfu Town or Hushan Village. Second, we need to ensure that the other party can respect the overall route plan and not mess around."

Han Zhiyuan nodded. "That's about what I mean."

"This is almost unsolvable!" Guo Haoran said in a deep voice: "With such a large investment, who wouldn't have some business ideas and concepts of their own?"
