After listening to Bai Ziyu's explanation, Xiao Weiguo slowly nodded.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ziyu hurriedly asked him.

"Wei Guo, what do you think? Tell me."

Xiao Weiguo glanced at him and shared his opinion.

"Old Bai, electronics and communications, strictly speaking, are two different industries. From a businessman's perspective, one is a commodity, and the other is a business strategy. Although you see business opportunities in it, you still don't realize that this is a huge industrial chain that you can't even imagine."

At this point, Bai Ziyu's eyes lit up, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

After a brief pause, Xiao Weiguo continued.

"Let me put it this way, if you simply want to buy and sell pagers, I will support you and lend you some money to develop your business, but not now. It will have to wait until the telecommunications industry is ready to meet market demand. At that time, with your abilities, making some money will not be a problem."

"How about it?"

At this point, Xiao Weiguo tentatively asked. He wanted to understand just how broad Bai Ziyu's vision truly was.

Is it content with modest wealth, or is it ambitious?

If one is truly content with modest wealth, as Xiao Weiguo said, he could lend Bai Ziyu some money so he could become a middleman. In this era, as long as one dares to take risks and work hard, making a living and living a peaceful life shouldn't be too difficult.

Xiao Weiguo wouldn't say he admired Bai Ziyu's character, but he felt that Bai Ziyu was very compatible with him, and he was happy to help with this small favor.

However, this would also mean losing a tremendous opportunity—a chance to join Panlong Group and soar to great heights. Xiao Weiguo would not cooperate with someone so short-sighted.

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Bai Ziyu lowered his head and quietly considered them.

Half a day later, he shook his head and said.

“Wei Guo, I can’t do business with you by borrowing money. Putting aside the personal relationship and whether it’s profitable, I, Lao Bai, can’t bear the reputation of being a middleman. Do you understand what I mean?”

How could Xiao Weiguo not understand what he was saying?

Even if Bai Ziyu is short of money, he is still a well-known young master in the industry. His family background and status do not allow him to appear in public as such.

This also involves the opinions of those at higher levels. Having grown up in such a family, Bai Ziyu had to consider this. You can become an entrepreneur, but you can't be a typical businessman; otherwise, any action you take will attract unnecessary suspicion.

Although Xiao Weiguo didn't understand the ways of officialdom very well, his worldliness made it easy for him to figure out the reasons behind it.

Bai Ziyu's words immediately piqued Xiao Weiguo's interest.

"Oh, Brother Bai, so what do you plan to do?"

"I think......"

At this point, Bai Ziyu seemed a little embarrassed.

"Old Bai, we're brothers, so speak your mind."

Encouraged by Xiao Weiguo, Bai Ziyu finally revealed his thoughts.

"Weiguo, I'm thinking, could we cooperate to build a factory and produce our own brand? I've looked around, and they're using foreign products everywhere in the south. Why can't we have our own? Only if we produce our own pagers can we promote them nationwide. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but applaud and cheer for him.

He was right; Bai Ziyu's vision was not limited to mere immediate gains.

Although he only considered the prospects of pagers and didn't think about other electronics industries, this was because his limited perspective restricted his thinking. Xiao Weiguo guessed that he had never even heard of mobile phones or cell phones, so how could he have considered them?

"Old Bai, I'm very pleased that you have such good taste, really. But..."

Xiao Weiguo then changed the subject.

"Building a factory requires a lot of manpower, resources, and capital. Do you have the capability?"

Bai Ziyu gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"Wei Guo, I'm not here to beat around the bush. I'll say whatever's on my mind. If I were capable, would I need my family's support? Would I need to come to you?"

Xiao Weiguo nodded. Bai Ziyu's words were very frank, and he seemed to genuinely want to cooperate.

“Very good, Lao Bai. If you want my support, you can. I can even provide all the funding for this project. I’ll give you as much as you need. But there are three conditions that you have to meet.”

Bai Ziyu was overjoyed that Xiao Weiguo agreed so readily and asked.

"Wei State, tell me, what are your conditions?"

"First."

Xiao Weiguo held up one finger.

"No matter the cost, I will bring Dr. Zhang Chenliang here. This is very important. I don't care what method you use, you must do it."

Bai Ziyu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"If we disregard the costs and consequences, we should be able to get him to come. I'll go see him tomorrow."

"Okay, the second thing is to apply for a plot of land in Jiaonan, the bigger the better, no less than 20,000 square meters. The location can be a bit out of the way, but it can't be small. You can use my Panlong Group as the reason. Can you do that?"

Xiao Weiguo then stated his second condition, immediately asking Bai Ziyu to acquire land of over 20,000 square meters. This was undoubtedly a huge test for the inexperienced Bai Ziyu.

However, as a young master in the industry, as long as he is willing to find a way and has the support of his own Panlong Group, he can definitely make it happen.

After confirming that he could use Panlong Group's resources, Bai Ziyu readily agreed.
