The software companies she invested in were all losing money.
Unfortunately, her initial loans and high-interest loans had all come due. She had initially planned very well; based on the initial expectations given at the beginning of the base's construction, she thought that by now, the software should have been launched on the market, and her profits should have been received. But who would have thought that selling the software would be so difficult?
She could only use the dividends she received from Zhou Chaoyang's company to fill the hole, but even that wasn't enough to cover the interest. She was simply too audacious; she borrowed too much money, resulting in exorbitant interest rates.
Moreover, many villagers and classmates who invested in those companies with her did not receive any dividends by the end of the year due to losses, and they began to complain about her, which put a lot of pressure on her mentally.
"Sigh, these people are still a bit foolish!" Chu Nian sighed inwardly. However, the trend has changed, and as they gradually come into contact with more of this issue, their thoughts and ideas will naturally change as well.
Therefore, it's only a matter of time before Ling Nian's wish comes true.
Most of the software companies, whether private or foreign-owned, launched their first batch of software on the market based on existing foreign software, which did not fit the current situation in Thessalonians, making them difficult to sell.
However, their software is also related to current computer systems.
Chu Nian believes that the computer operating system should be simplified first, so that computers can be popularized in many towns and cities of all sizes, and ordinary people can operate them. Only then can software develop greatly.
Therefore, she submitted a research report on a simplified operating system to the research institute, which included highly sophisticated technologies such as voice control and fingerprint recognition.
The research institute quickly put its research results into production and handed them over to its subsidiaries for worldwide distribution and sales.
Soon, this operating system, which was much simpler than previous computer systems, became popular all over the world. The numerous software programs that the research institute subsequently launched, because they were compatible with this operating system and were easy and convenient to use, also quickly gained public recognition.
By the eve of the college entrance examination, the Ling family had received three dividends, none of which were small sums. Overconfident, Ling's father wanted to sell a courtyard house in town, but Ling's mother stopped him.
Zhegu Village has now been renamed Zhegu District, becoming an independent administrative district of M City, no longer under the jurisdiction of the town. Naturally, the former village head has also been promoted to district head.
The buildings here are basically all completed and handed over.
The Ling family already has the keys to three houses, but Ling's father still wants to buy a yard in town. Is he crazy?!
Presumably afraid that the Ling family men would act up again, Ling's mother quickly dragged them back to their own home in the Zhegu District. Since they had been allocated three apartments, and her eldest and second eldest brothers each had one, Ling's mother kicked them out to live there.
Liu Quan's family, along with his uncle, reportedly also invested in those software companies alongside Li Fangqi.
Because they hadn't received any dividends, and all the money had been invested, Liu Quan was lazy and Liu Huai was lame; neither of them had looked for work, and they were all waiting for their dividends to pay for their meals, but they hadn't received a single penny. Seeing how well other families were doing, especially the Ling family, who were reportedly eating meat at every meal, Liu Quan became unhappy.
He ran to the school to find Li Fangqi, claiming that he wanted to take back the Liu family's money.
Because the final year of high school is a crucial period, the school implements strict controls. Students are not allowed to go home during the school year, and day students are switched to boarding school. Under normal circumstances, they are not even allowed to leave the school gate. Students are only allowed to come to the school gate to meet with their parents when they come to visit.
Therefore, Li Fangqi went to the school gate after receiving the notification from the reception office.
Li Fangqi was already overwhelmed by loan sharks these past few days, so she had no mood to talk to this scoundrel. She said irritably, "You invested willingly in the first place. Now that the company is losing money and there are no dividends, you're all trying to extort money from me. Have you no shame?"
In fact, these companies have already started to follow the software style of the research institute. Even if they don't make money like the research institute, they should start to see profits after another year or two.
However, the people in Zhegu District are relatively new to investing and lack such a long-term perspective. They only see the present: others have received dividends, while they haven't.
Moreover, Liu Quan was a notorious hooligan and scoundrel in the village. Seeing Li Fangqi's long face and disgusted expression, Liu Quan became even angrier. He slapped Li Fangqi hard across the face and roared, "You bastard took my money, and now I want it back. What? You want to get rid of this scoundrel?"
Li Fangqi was stunned by the slap, finally remembering that Liu Quan was no well-mannered person. She had been living a life of pampering and adoration lately, forgetting how she had suffered so much humiliation and torment at the hands of this rogue in her past life.
Li Fangqi covered her burning face and turned to run into the school.
Seeing this, Liu Quan went to pull her up and grabbed her hair.
Knowing Liu Quan's viciousness and shamelessness, Li Fangqi was afraid that he would do something outrageous, so she desperately tried to escape into the school. Both sides put in their best efforts.
As a result, Li Fangqi, who was running desperately, suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, which almost brought tears to her eyes. But she didn't dare to stop and continued to run desperately into the campus.
Liu Quan stared blankly at the bloody scalp on his hand for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and tried to chase after it into the school, but was stopped by the old man at the gatehouse.
"What are you doing? The school has a rule that parents and visitors of senior high school students are not allowed to enter the campus." The old man had also seen him hitting someone and was startled, so he quickly reprimanded him.
Liu Quan was a typical bully who preyed on the weak. Seeing the gatekeeper's unpleasant expression, he didn't dare to chase after him any further and had no choice but to turn around and go home first, muttering curses under his breath.
By the way, they originally thought they could get high returns, but they didn't expect that Zhegu Village would be directly upgraded to a separate district. So, in addition to investing the money they were allocated, the Liu family also sold the house they were allocated and bought a small courtyard house in the town, planning to live there permanently.
Only now, with the village being upgraded to a district, do they realize how much they miscalculated. This makes Liu Quan even more furious with Li Fangqi.
Keep in mind that the district's administrative status is above that of the town. As the tide rises, so too will the property prices there; it won't be long before they surpass those in the town. Considering this, they have no idea how much they've lost.
Honestly, the same amount of money can have vastly different values depending on who holds it!
Liu Quan felt that the school's strict control during the senior year was something he couldn't do anything about, but once this control ended, he didn't believe he couldn't deal with Li Fangqi. In order to get revenge on Li Fangqi, he even found out the exact location of the exam venue.
