"It's not that strong, is it?"
Wenxi muttered something to herself.
However, this friend looked over and said, "Just ask the people around you, who has ever dated a foreigner and would even look down on these Chinese guys? They all despise them."
"There are quite a few foreigners in Binhai. Let me tell you, if you find a foreigner, you'll know how powerful they are. I guarantee you won't be able to get down from your seats every night."
Miss Shen didn't seem very interested in this topic.
“I’ve recently started laying the groundwork for order taking. I plan to build up all my connections and take over the underground lottery market in Binhai. These mainlanders may not have a lot of money, but they do have some. They’re quite willing to spend tens or hundreds of dollars to try for high returns.”
"Would you like to invest?"
Miss Shen looked at her two best friends. If they invested, the business could grow even bigger.
The Shen family does all sorts of businesses; as long as there's a profit, they're willing to do it.
Underground lotteries are illegal now, but the Shen family doesn't care. As long as they can make money, everything else is negotiable.
Wen Xi shook her head. She didn't get involved in any business; she just ran a money exchange. She specialized in her field and didn't participate in any areas she didn't belong to.
Furthermore, this business is illegal in mainland China.
The Shen family has connections to handle this, and I don't want to lose more than I gain.
"I haven't seen you make any moves lately."
Wenxi was a little curious.
The Shen family suffered a great loss, so why is there no movement from them?
"Huo Deguang has gone back, and I've also destroyed the Zhong family. We'll have to be patient for a while."
Miss Shen indeed has no new plans; she's currently just working on the lottery, intending to keep it going and make some money first.
The Shen family has suffered a great loss. The project has been snatched away by someone else, and the shrine they bought has also been stolen.
If the shrine reappears, then we'll have to prepare money again.
There really is a secret inside the shrine, but the Shen family is not worried because no one can open the mechanism. They will still need to ask the Shen family for help when the time comes.
The things have been stolen; let's leave them with those people for safekeeping for now.
"Okay, I'm going on my date now."
My best friend showed me a photo of a foreigner, then picked up her bag and left.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Zhang Fan arrived at Guoqiang Steel Plant.
Although this is a steel plant, it has already expanded into many other industries.
Gas cylinders, seamless steel pipes, liquid explosives, high explosives, drones, infrared sensors, cameras...
Projects such as these have all been launched.
The main reason is that they are too rich.
Zhang Fan walked into a research and development department, where all the talents recruited by Liu Tiezhu were located.
They were all college students, and I heard it was very cheap.
Liu Tiezhu recognized their innovative ideas, and now the blackboard is covered with various drone templates.
We've recruited quite a few people, but it's uncertain how many will stay.
Anyway, the entire project team was established.
Liu Tiezhu is barely literate; it's already quite an achievement that he managed to get the project started.
That kind of company certainly wouldn't last long in the future, but things are different now.
Drones are rare these days; they belong to the military, so how could a private individual possibly own one?
With so much money from clients, it's hard to die even if you want to.
Zhang Fan looked around; things definitely couldn't go on like this.
Customers aren't stupid; they can't keep giving money away forever, so it's necessary to integrate the entire industry chain.
This requires a leader.
It seems we need to find a leader for this group.
Zhang Fan originally came to find Liu Tiezhu, but he didn't expect him to be not here.
We still need to keep an eye on him lately; he likes to research how to make money whenever he has nothing to do.
Don't end up selling kidneys to make a fortune; kidneys cost thousands of yuan each these days.
He made a phone call to Liu Tiezhu and then went to a village.
A moment later, I saw him with his second uncle, both of them holding a newspaper.
"This year is the Year of the Dragon, and the riddle is 'The sun rises in the east,' so the winning number must be 1! Filtering, small! The zodiac animal must be the Dragon!"
Liu Tiezhu was holding a loudspeaker, and many people were listening to his lecture.
There were not only old men, but also young people.
Why did Zhang Fan feel that these words were so familiar? Wasn't this some kind of "color" from later generations?
This thing originated from Hong Kong, but illegal lotteries are not allowed in mainland China.
Therefore, it is illegal.
When it comes to trends, Liu Tiezhu is definitely in the top tier; he knows about this thing too.
Now they dress up like proper people, even wearing suits and ties.
He looks like a successful person.
Upon seeing Zhang Fan approaching, Liu Tiezhu quickly gave his second uncle a look.
The second uncle started taking newspapers downstairs, collecting ten yuan from each person.
Is this selling information?
"Boss."
Liu Tiezhu came over to say hello.
"Selling Mark Six lottery tickets?"
Zhang Fan glanced at Liu Tiezhu.
"I'm not stupid. Who knows how many numbers will be drawn? I'm selling information. We've compiled all this information, claiming it's top secret in Hong Kong. We promote it every time. Anyway, you're bound to win eventually."
Liu Tiezhu looked smug.
Zhang Fan patted Liu Tiezhu on the shoulder, but what could he say?
You might call him stupid, but he wouldn't buy it; he even knows how to sell information.
"Boss, should we take the order?"
Liu Tiezhu was eager to try.
“If you take an order, you have to go inside. You want to go inside? You should go buy an unfinished building instead; I think that would suit you better.”
Zhang Fan said very seriously.
Investing in stocks, buying lottery tickets, and taking out small loans—none of these are sustainable.
“My relatives are all broke and they’re eating cornbread. Every month when their pensions come in, I tell them to buy unfinished buildings. And now there aren’t many unfinished buildings left, especially in the east of the city. We’ve sold them all.”
