The reason Zhou Chaoyang's business has grown so large and he will become a world-renowned business tycoon is because he is no ordinary person. Don't be fooled by the fact that information isn't as readily available as it used to be; he is almost all-knowing and well-informed.
After Li Fangqi said that, he didn't know what else to say, so he could only say, "Okay!"
But after watching Li Fangqi disappear into the depths of the campus, Zhou Chaoyang did not give up and continued to wait at the school gate.
A short while later, Chu Nian, who was heading home after school, rode her old bicycle out of the school, creaking and groaning.
He quickly stepped forward to stop her, and then watched as Chu Nian stopped there, one toe touching the ground, looking a little unsteady. His heart had just been pounding with anxiety for the little girl who was about to fall.
He smiled and said, "Niannian, it's been a long time."
Chu Nian: "Hmm, it seems like it's only been a little over half a month, not too long! Is there something you need to stop me for?"
Zhou Chaoyang: "Um, I just wanted to ask, since you're from Zhegutun, have you heard that your area has been selected by higher authorities for development?"
Chu Nian paused for a moment, then calmly hummed in agreement. Seeing the joy on Zhou Chaoyang's face, she said, "It's too early to say for sure." She hadn't received a definite answer yet!
Zhou Chaoyang exclaimed with delight, "So there really is such a saying?!"
Chu Nian looked at him amusedly and said, "Didn't you just win the bid for land in the city? Do you still have money to make other investments?"
Zhou Chaoyang: "I can get a loan!"
Chu Nian earnestly advised, "Relying solely on loans might not be enough. You must understand that software development is still a very emerging industry..."
Zhou Chaoyang said urgently, "I know, but I have high hopes for it!"
Chu Nian: "But precisely because it is an emerging industry, its development is still in its early stages. It is unrealistic to think that you can use it to make money and pay off your loan. It will definitely take some time for it to become profitable."
Zhou Chaoyang said, "What if the military wants to build that base deep inside?" The government is quite generous with its funding and doesn't drag things out.
Chu Nian: "Then you don't need to think about it. We won't let outsiders do it." There are still many military industrial enterprises under the military, and if military systems are to be developed and researched in the base, it is very likely that the military industrial enterprises directly under the military will be responsible for building it, and it will be equipped with many high-tech defense measures.
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Chu Nian with a strange expression and murmured, "Nian Nian, you seem to have changed... changed..."
Seeing that he was stammering, which was unlike his usual straightforward manner, Chu Nian asked impatiently, "What has changed?"
Zhou Chaoyang thought for a moment before asking, "Niannian, where did you hear this news from?" He had a feeling that this girl knew more than he did. Was it just his imagination?
Chu Nian smiled faintly and asked in return, "Then where did you hear this news from?"
Zhou Chaoyang: "I have many friends, but you're still in high school..."
Chu Nian simply said, "Don't forget that Zhegu Village is my hometown."
Zhou Chaoyang said, "That's true. Your Zhegu Village is located at the foot of Zhegu Mountain, so the people there are probably the most closely connected to this matter." But Li Fangqi doesn't seem to have any information about this at all!
Chu Nian: "If you want to participate in the construction of this base, you'd better quickly sell off some of your less profitable businesses for cash and then invest. If you don't have any extra money, I advise you to give up."
The projects you currently have are all capable of recouping their investment within a normal timeframe and won't cause your cash flow to dry up. However, investing in this base is a different story.
Only those who can commit money to this for the long term are suitable to invest. Given the current level of computer software development, it will probably take several more years to see substantial returns in this industry.
Of course, if Chu Nian were to provide some guidance using her knowledge of future technologies, development might be faster. But that would still take time.
Zhou Chaoyang left dejectedly, probably because he felt that what Chu Nian said made some sense. In order to ensure steady development, he would most likely have to miss out on this project with great prospects!
Li Fangqi did indeed go home for the weekend, and she did learn from the villagers that a leader had come to Zhegushan for an inspection. It is said that he stayed at the township head's house, and it seems that he is a very high-ranking official.
Li Fangqi went through her memories of her past life again, but there was still no mention of a software development base being established in Zhegushan. Looking at those villagers, they still didn't know what software was, and the area was so remote and inaccessible; why would the higher-ups choose to establish a software development base here?
However, in her previous life, no leader came here to inspect during this period. Could it be that her rebirth caused a change in the course of events?
Back in town, she contacted Lou Yang, a naval officer she had secretly befriended for a long time, to verify the matter. Lou Yang only said that the capital city had already started bidding for road construction along the Zhegushan line.
He didn't mention the software base at all, but could Li Fangqi not understand the implication? The base would probably be up and running in less than a year.
Li Fangqi was a little excited. Hearing Lou Yang speak with certainty, she guessed that it was because of her that Lou Yang reported the situation of Zhegushan to his superiors, which led to the current road construction and base building plan.
She quickly contacted Zhou Chaoyang. Unfortunately, Zhou Chaoyang frankly told her that because they had just won the bid for that piece of land in the city center, the company no longer had the capacity to invest in that software base.
Li Fangqi tried to persuade him for a long time, but Zhou Chaoyang still decided to give up the project for the time being.
Zhou Chaoyang is the company president. Li Fangqi can't persuade him, so the company won't invest. If she wants to invest, she can't do it in the company's name or use the company's money, so she has to find another way.
Unfortunately, after Chu Nian's repeated attempts to embezzle her funds, Li Fangqi had nothing of value left to exchange for money, and having just invested in Zhou Chaoyang's company, she didn't have much cash left.
However, with her abilities, she was confident that getting money wouldn't be a problem; there was still time!
Chu Nian discovered that Li Fangqi was borrowing money everywhere, but she wasn't asking people from the school; instead, she was asking people in the business world, and the amounts she was borrowing weren't small. Soon after, construction began on the Zhegushan Ring Road.
Chu Nian was a little surprised; only a week had passed! It seemed that the leaders of the research institute were far more eager to get their hands on what she had than she had anticipated!
Tan Yunqi had returned to town and was staying at the same inn where the group responsible for protecting Chu Nian's courtyard were staying. So, early that morning, just as Chu Nian was about to go to school as usual, Tan Yunqi blocked her at the gate of the courtyard.
"You're back?" Chu Nian asked with a smile. "How did your negotiations go with my terms?"
