After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 628 Entering the game
On weekends, Zhou Haoran doesn't go out fooling around.

The family is reunited.

The buildings near the harbor generally lack heating, making them quite uncomfortable to live in now that it's December. The situation is different in the larger villa area; the entire Tomson Golf Villa complex has boiler rooms for heating.

Zhou Haoran suggested that everyone should stay together in the winter, since it's warmer here.

Anyway, we're all family.

Try living there for a while first.

However, with so many people together... it's fine to get together occasionally, but if you're together every day, seeing each other all the time, it's inevitable that some minor frictions and unpleasant things will happen.

For example, Jiang Minsi.

on Monday.

Zhou Haoran drove Professor Jiang to Fudan University. On the way, he asked, "Professor Jiang, last night I suggested that we all stay together. I didn't see you give any opinion?"

"You're the head of the household, so we'll listen to you."

Jiang Minsi turned to look out the window, her mood low.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it bottled up inside. If you can't confide in me, who else can you confide in?"

“I…” Jiang Minsi turned her head, her expression serious, “Then I’ll just say it directly!”

"talk!"

"I feel like I've fallen out of favor."

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was a little confused. "How could that be? I like you so much!"

Jiang Minsi said, "But you prefer twin sisters."

Zhou Haoran chuckled, somewhat amused. "What's there to argue about? In my heart, they're all the same."

"Anyway, you're treating people differently."

Jiang Minsi's tone was sour and somewhat annoyed.

“Aunt Nuan and Aunt Wan are both married, unlike you who came into the family as young women. I’m just worried that they might feel inferior.” Zhou Haoran has indeed been showing them more affection lately, but he has a reason: “We’re preparing to have a baby.”

"Haoran, in a family like ours, fairness is essential. I may not care about these things, but the other sisters definitely have their own opinions."

Jiang Minsi spoke with a serious expression and earnest words.

Zhou Haoran nodded. "Yes, learn from this lesson."

“If we really start arguing…” Jiang Minsi snorted lightly, “I have more sisters than Sheng Wenwan. My younger sister is in college and it’s inconvenient for her to live on campus, so I can have my older sister move in with me.”

"Don't make trouble!"

Zhou Haoran's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stopped him.

Jiang Minsi has an older sister and a younger sister.

She was stunningly beautiful, and her sisters were naturally just as gorgeous.

Her older sister's name is Jiang Nansi, which is actually "Sinan" (meaning "longing for a son"), because her parents wanted a son when they named her.

Jiang Nansi has a stable family.

Engaged in the tea business.

Jiang Nansi fries tea; her husband works in transportation; and they have a son in elementary school.

As Jiang Minsi's career progressed, she brought her sister, brother-in-law, and eldest nephew to Haigang. Conditions in their hometown were too poor, and the educational opportunities in Haigang were much better for her eldest nephew's primary school education.

Now, Jiang Nansi works in logistics at the Honglou Teahouse, and her husband also works for the teahouse, responsible for collecting tea and transporting it all over the country.

Jiang Minsi put away her mischievous expression and became serious. "Master, I'm serious. I really want my sister to come over."

"Stop messing around, I don't lack women. Other people's families are so harmonious, don't try to sabotage them."

Zhou Haoran would never agree.

"Aren't you overthinking it?" Jiang Minsi rolled her eyes at him. "I didn't say I wanted her to sleep with you, so don't keep thinking about it that way."

"Ok?"

“My brother-in-law works in transportation in another city and can’t come home even once a month. She’s a stranger in the harbor, and I’m quite worried about her living alone.”

"Isn't our situation very inconvenient?"

Zhou Haoran still felt it was inappropriate.

Jiang Minsi said, "That's my sister, she wouldn't talk nonsense. Usually no one lives in the villa, so we can hire a housekeeper to clean it. But on weekends, everyone goes over to get together, so we can't hire a housekeeper. If everyone stays at the villa this winter, housework will be a real hassle."

"Let's do it!"

Zhou Haoran said dismissively.

“Doing it once in a while is fine, but doing housework every day, especially in such a big villa, who would want to do that?” Jiang Minsi is now living a life of luxury. “Anyway, I don’t like doing it.”

"Let your sister do the housework?" Zhou Haoran frowned slightly. "Isn't that inappropriate?"

Jiang Minsi said, "Let my sister watch the house. If everyone moves in, there will be a lot of valuables and personal belongings here. When no one is home during the day, I'll have my sister hire a housekeeper so she can keep an eye on things."

"Hmm." Zhou Haoran thought there was some truth to that. "Then what about the child?"

“He’s going back to his hometown for winter break, to stay with his grandparents.” Jiang Minsi seemed to have planned all of this long ago. “When he comes back to school next spring, the weather will be warmer, and we won’t all have to squeeze together anymore, and she won’t have to take care of him.”

Zhou Haoran nodded. "Go and discuss it with Sister Qingmei. If she says it's okay, then it's okay."

Jiang Minsi smiled enigmatically, "Are you still henpecked?" "I'm mainly afraid she'll misunderstand, as if I'm the one who persuaded you to let your sister come over..." Zhou Haoran was afraid of ruining his reputation, "making me seem like a lecherous devil."

"So what if I'm lustful? What's the big deal?"

Jiang Minsi had long since become indifferent to all of this.

Complaining won't change the current situation.

Zhou Haoran saw Teacher Jiang off to work at Fudan University, while he went to see the school leaders.

The principal and vice-principal were both present.

Tell them about the joint venture plan.

The school wanted to become the largest shareholder, but Zhou Haoran hoped they could make some concessions; being the second largest shareholder would also be fine.

“President Yang, President Li, President Guo, this is what I think. This is a port city, not the capital. Universities like Peking University and Founder Group can get more support and subsidies, and they can get more low-interest loans. Fudan University doesn’t have these advantages, so we can’t learn from them.”

“I’ve also looked at this year’s financial statements. Founder’s assets are shrinking, and many of the technology products they produce are simply not accepted by the market. Founder computers are the computers designated for procurement by various ministries, but so what? Their sales can’t even get into the top five.”

"University-affiliated enterprises have many inherent shortcomings. Over the past ten or twenty years, the vast majority of them have gone bankrupt and closed down. Fudan University needs to make some changes and embrace the market in the wave of port opening. This is a seaport and a commercial capital. Fudan should set an example."

Even primary schools have school-enterprise partnerships.

Wahaha started out as a school-affiliated enterprise.

Zhou Haoran didn't actually need to prepare so many statements.

Because although Fudan University is strong, it is not as strong as Haigang University.

In the end, Fudan University will inevitably have to back down in the struggle between the two sides.

Just like in my previous life.

But this would make Fudan University lose face.

Zhou Haoran needed to find sufficient reasons to allow Fudan University to cooperate with the local government in a respectable manner, establish the joint venture, and develop a cooperation plan that would satisfy both parties.

To this end, he also prepared a plan.

The joint venture will continue to focus on research and development.

Where does the money come from?
We cannot rely solely on subsidies and loans; we must rely on the market to achieve self-sufficiency.

Coincidentally, the smart card market is emerging in the country.

This industry has great potential!

Orders will increase, and revenue will rise.

More importantly, with the contraction of international capital, the global financial industry has begun to stabilize and global stock markets have begun to recover... especially technology stocks, led by Nasdaq, which are driving the global technology wave.

Therefore, after the joint venture is established, it should actively operate in the capital market.

We'll list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange within two years!

"Isn't this all too rushed?"

Principal Yang was taken aback after hearing his analysis.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "That's why we need to cooperate with the local government of the port. With local connections, the listing of the joint venture will go very smoothly. If the university is the largest shareholder, the operation of each link will probably not be so easy."

"This is a big plan!"

Several school leaders felt passive in front of this student.

Raising funds through the capital market for technological research and development is indeed more respectable and in line with market principles than applying for policy support and industrial funding.

Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "Actually, who the largest shareholder is isn't that important. What's important is to maintain the joint venture's status as a university-affiliated enterprise and to preserve the 'Fudan' brand. My suggestion is to separate Professor Gao's microelectronics team from Fudan High Technology Company and establish a 'Fudan Microelectronics' company. The name speaks for itself; this will truly be a Fudan university-affiliated enterprise."

"By relinquishing the position of the largest shareholder, their say in the company will be weakened..."

Principal Yang said meaningfully.

"That's a good idea. Let's add a third shareholder."

Zhou Haoran has orchestrated such a big project; he can't just work for nothing.

"Ok?"

“Zhongbo Software is a company founded by Fudan University students. It mainly engages in the development, production and sales of smart cards. It is currently the most experienced private company in the smart card field in the port and even the whole country. I think Fudan can give up its largest shareholder, but it should add a third largest shareholder.”

"Zhongbo Software..."

The school leaders all knew that this young student was the mastermind behind the company.

However, there's no need to point it out.

Zhongbo Software is a technology company with strong competitiveness in the smart card field, and they are all alumni of Fudan University... This makes them natural allies. If Zhongbo Software can be brought in to provide a balance, it would be a welcome development for the university.

“Scientific research is very important, but many companies get lost in the market in order to make money and neglect the importance of scientific research. Fudan Microelectronics is a semiconductor integrated circuit company that focuses on scientific research, and it must have scientific research to guarantee its success. The largest shareholder has more say, but if there are disagreements on some fundamental issues…” Zhou Haoran revealed his true colors, “the second and third largest shareholders can join forces and take the majority of votes.”

To balance the relationship between scientific research and the market, there must be a driving force that is recognized by both sides.

Zhou Haoran entered the game.

It is only natural.

There are disagreements between the two sides regarding cooperation.

Let's have a three-way collaboration!
