"Of the 5 billion, I plan to take out 1 billion to invest in the tile factory. The 1 billion in initial shares will be distributed among us internally."

Old Mou put it very well. He suggested that everyone pool their money to get 1 billion yuan worth of initial shares, and that shares be allocated based on the amount invested. He also suggested that if they sold their shares, they could quickly convert them into salary and make a profit, perhaps even more than originally planned.

The remaining four billion will be distributed from the profits.

With a 30% return on investment and a minimum five-year upfront investment, it's equivalent to a fixed deposit, and the interest is quite substantial.

According to Lao Mou, this is a project that will take decades to complete. As long as money is invested, it can feed two generations.

The plan was very tempting.

After that, Lao Mou spoke for another thirty minutes. After the meeting, he told the attendees to take his prepared proposal with them and study it. If they wanted to invest in this project, they could talk to him privately. He planned to establish an ancient building renovation company and treat the investment money as shares in the ancient building company.

After the meeting, about a dozen old friends and two coal mine owners didn't leave immediately. Instead, they went backstage to chat with Lao Mou about the investment amount.

The two coal mine owners promised to each invest 50 million yuan in the ancient building renovation company. However, they had two conditions: Lao Mou had to introduce him to Xing Baohua, and they promised that if Lao Mou had a meal with Xing Baohua, they would introduce him to other industry professionals.

After the meeting, a dozen or so people immediately pledged a total of 330 million yuan in shares in the ancient architecture company.

Old Mou was very happy. He could raise about 1 billion yuan from his hometown alone, then go to Shenzhen and Nandu to raise more funds, and finally place the funds in the capital.

Xing Baohua had no idea that Lao Mou had taken this matter seriously.

A few days later, someone mailed Xing Baohua a copy of the Wanzhou County newspaper, and he learned that there was a legitimate edition introducing Lao Mou's fundraising plan.

The title is: Tiling the Great Wall with High Technology to Make It Look New After a Thousand Years.

The content quoted Xing Baohua from the rice group as saying that nanomaterials and graphene are being added to ceramic tiles.

Even the dirtiest sewage stains on tiles can be cleaned with a rinse of water and wiped clean with a cloth, leaving them looking brand new.

After seeing this, Xing Baohua tried hard to recall whether he had said this that day, even though he had drunk a bit too much.

Even if the surface of the tile is stained, it can be removed!

There's no oxidation problem either!

Xing Baohua's description of nanotechnology seemed to imply that it was fabricated using nanotechnology. He recalled buying a nanotechnology T-shirt that allowed water droplets to roll around on it without leaving any ink residue.

Adding nanotechnology and graphene to ceramic tiles is just a gimmick to fool people.

Take it seriously? More like a scam to swindle research and development funds.

Judging from the newspapers, Lao Mou made a good start and had considerable influence, but this project won't succeed. It's just wishful thinking; the key is that the country won't allow it. Even if you throw your own money into it, it won't work. Cultural relics should be preserved in their natural state; if you try to tile them, it will be considered destruction.

Damaging cultural relics is a serious crime; tiling the Great Wall is clearly a case of good intentions gone wrong. Not only did they lose money, but they also landed themselves in jail.

How can we stop it? The key is that Lao Mou is already in deep trouble. He's already taken the money, how can we stop him! Don't even mention going in, it's like he's never been in before, he's been in twice already.
