Chapter 194 is finally resolved!
Chen Wei, currently the most capable developer among Jiangda undergraduates, quickly completed the script Chen Cheng needed.

Reducing the resolution reduces the amount of data, thereby achieving a disguised speedup.

However, this is only a temporary measure; a dual-line server is still urgently needed.

So, on Sunday night, Chen Cheng asked the server hosting provider to start deploying a second server.

Fortunately, the processing power required by the server is fixed, so by adding servers on the China Netcom line, he can reduce the number of servers on the China Telecom line, and the cost is not high.

The main cost is that while dividing it into two, we need to leave some extra redundancy.

This means that after breaking down 1, it cannot be simply divided into 0.7+0.3 or 0.6+0.4 based on the different demands in the north and south. Instead, it should be divided into 0.8+0.4 or 0.7+0.5.

The same principle applies to bandwidth; overall growth is not high.

The biggest cost is that all stored data must be copied one-to-one, but that's still within his acceptable range.

By Monday morning, the data migration was basically complete.

At noon, after intensive testing and optimization, the Netcom server was officially launched.

For users in the north, the experience became incredibly smooth and seamless.

The quick resolution of this problem gave Chen Cheng's team a new understanding of him.

They discovered that Chen Cheng's solutions to problems, though seemingly unconventional, were always to the point.

The dual-server operation was a stroke of genius, instantly solving a problem that seemed unsolvable by common sense.

At this very moment, in Fancheng, Lu Zhixing left the company, climbed into the back seat of his Mercedes S600, and hurriedly headed home.

On the way, he called Manager Qiu of Yuanteng Group and said excitedly, "Manager Qiu, please communicate with your finance department. I have already transferred the payment for the 60,000 tons from last time!"

Manager Qiu asked with some surprise, "Oh, Mr. Lu, congratulations! Have you resolved all the issues at the Fancheng Power Plant?"

"solved!"

Lu Zhixing slapped his thigh with joy and said with a smile, "The restructuring has been going on for so long, and it's finally coming to an end. They've also settled most of the payments for me. It's going to get cold soon, and they have a heavy workload with the power supply, so they promised me that as long as the supply doesn't drop, the payment period for future goods will not exceed two months."

"Okay!"

Manager Qiu said with a smile, "Then I really have to congratulate President Lu!"

Lu Zhixing said gratefully, "Thank you for your consideration, Manager Qiu. And please convey my regards to General Manager Zhang. Thank you for your generosity!"

Manager Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll communicate with the finance department right away and let General Manager Zhang know as soon as the money arrives."

"Alright! Then I won't bother Manager Qiu any longer!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhixing leaned back in his chair, as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

During this period, the amount he owed Yuanteng Group for goods was far more than the initial 60,000 tons.

Zhang Qishuo gave Chen Cheng face and spared no effort in helping him. Now that he has secured the entire supply share, Yuanteng Group is still ensuring his supply, without delaying production in the slightest.

Now that the payments are finally being settled, he can finally pay a portion of the payment to Yuanteng Group.

Once the backlog of payments for the goods arrives at the end of the year and I have more money in hand, I won't need to continue having Yuanteng Group deliver goods to me in advance. I can make purchases with cash as usual and wait for the payment terms from Fancheng Power Plant.

When I got home, my wife, Xiao Suqin, had just finished preparing lunch.

Seeing him walk briskly into the house, Xiao Suqin was a little surprised and asked him, "Why do you look so rushed? Do you have something to do later?"

"No."

Lu Zhixing said with a smile, "I wanted to share some good news with you as soon as possible. The Fancheng Power Plant has started settling accounts, and I've already transferred the first batch of payments to Yuanteng."

"Finally settled?!"

Xiao Suqin also let out a long sigh and exclaimed, "I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, afraid that Yuanteng Group would lose patience with us, and it would be even more troublesome if it implicated Chen Cheng. Now it's all right, I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Lu Zhixing nodded repeatedly, feeling the same way. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and laughed, "Xiao Chen is really amazing. Boss Zhang has been supplying us with coal since National Day, without receiving a single penny. It's all because of Xiao Chen."

Xiao Suqin untied her apron and said with a smile, "I'll have to find a chance to thank Xiao Chen properly later."

Lu Zhixing said, "This kid is interesting. I told him not to pay back the million, but he insisted on paying it back. I wonder how his business is doing."

Xiao Suqin also said with concern, "Call your classmate who runs a taxi company in Jiangcheng and ask him how the taxi license market in Jiangcheng is doing lately. If it's not good, quickly ask Youyou to persuade Xiao Chen to sell it."

Lu Zhixing nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll start now."

After saying that, he picked up his phone, found the number, and dialed it.

The call was answered quickly, and he immediately asked through speakerphone, "Old Feng, has the price of taxi license plates in Jiangcheng gone up or down recently?"

Old Feng exclaimed, "Holy crap, they've gone crazy!" The couple exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Lu Zhixing quickly asked, "How much has it gone up?"

Old Feng said, "The price before the vehicle management office closed at noon today was about 153,000 to 154,000 yuan."

"You mean seizing the young master?!"

Lu Zhixing was shocked and blurted out, "It's only been a few days and it's increased so much? When I asked you last time, you said it was only 45,000!"

Old Feng said, "After the National Day holiday, a group of speculators from Wenzhou came. There were a lot of people and a lot of money. They only stayed in Jiangcheng for two days and bought up all the quotas that people were eager to sell. Then the price skyrocketed like a rocket. Do you know how exaggerated it was a couple of days ago? There were four prices in one day! Those Wenzhou people are really fierce. No matter how many quotas there are, as long as someone is selling, they will buy them all!"

Lu Zhixing blurted out, "Why are there four prices in one day?"

Old Feng sighed and explained, "You don't know, everyone's going crazy for it right now. The price is one when the vehicle management office opens in the morning, another when it's about to close, yet another when it opens in the afternoon, and yet another when it's about to close in the evening. It usually goes up by one or two thousand each time, sometimes three or five thousand a day, and sometimes even ten thousand!"

"I rely on!"

While shocked, Lu Zhixing couldn't help but exclaim, "Then you've made a profit this time too!"

Old Feng said dejectedly, "What did I earn? I sold the company to the Wencheng people on the third day after they arrived. It only cost me a little over 50,000 yuan per quota. I thought I had met a sucker, but I didn't expect that I was the sucker. My wife has fought with me several times in the past few days and almost divorced me."

Lu Zhixing covered the microphone and sighed deeply before saying, "Hey Lao Feng, you should take it easy. Things like this go up and down."

Old Feng said helplessly, "What can I do if I can't let it go? I've already sold it..."

"Hey, you should also try to persuade your wife. There's no point in being upset now."

Lu Zhixing comforted Lao Feng for a few moments over the phone, then hung up, making an excuse that he had something to do.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Xiao Suqin beside him and said in astonishment, "We were worried that Xiao Chen would lose money, but he made over 100,000 yuan per quota, and in just over ten days he made more than four million yuan..."

Xiao Suqin was also stunned and didn't come to her senses. She murmured, "I guess the price will be even higher this week. If it rises again, I might make five million."

Lu Zhixing took a deep drag on his cigarette and exclaimed, "This kid is a prodigy!"

Xiao Suqin nodded and said seriously, "Now that I think about it, his analysis was all correct. He even predicted that someone might manipulate the indicators. His insight is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Zhixing forgot to flick his cigarette ash, and a long ash fell on him. He casually patted it off a few times and said, "In that case, given Xiao Chen's personality, he will definitely return that million to Youyou after the company is sold."

"Yes."

Xiao Suqin asked him, "Given the scale of our current cooperation with Fancheng Power Plant, how much money can we make in a year?"

Lu Zhixing thought for a moment and said, "I estimate the net profit will be around 18 million, and if the market is good, it could reach more than 10 million."

Xiao Suqin pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

After a long silence, she said with a hint of helplessness, "Old Lu, this favor is a bit too much to ask..."

Lu Zhixing comforted her: "Isn't there Youyou? At least half of the money our family earns comes from Youyou. If Xiao Chen dates Youyou and gets married after graduation, then half of the family fortune will belong to the Chen family. So, in a sense, he is also helping himself make money while he is helping me make money now!"

Xiao Suqin asked him helplessly, "Are you planning to give your daughter away like this?"

Lu Zhixing countered, "Don't you admire Xiao Chen?"

"I admire it."

Xiao Suqin said in a serious tone, "If Youyou is to date Xiao Chen, I will wholeheartedly support it. Many people have been working in society for many years and may not have Xiao Chen's ability or potential. If Youyou can't catch him, I, as his mother, will probably regret it."

"Isn't that okay?"

Lu Zhixing waved his hand and comforted him, "Just treat Xiao Chen as your future son-in-law for now. Don't worry about whether this matter will work out in the end. Just think of him that way for now! Once you see him that way, things will be much easier when it comes to favors!"

Xiao Suqin sighed and said with a serious expression, "I can think that way, and I am willing to think that way, but you also need to consider how much Xiao Chen has actually helped you. President Zhang knows best!"

As she spoke, Xiao Suqin added, "Since he and Xiao Chen are close friends despite their age difference, if he meets Xiao Chen, he will definitely be concerned about how much benefit we gave Xiao Chen in return. If Xiao Chen says he didn't want it, what will President Zhang think of us?"

Lu Zhixing asked, "What do you think of us?"

Xiao Suqin asked him, "Such a big favor, if others don't want it, are we just not going to give it to them? That doesn't make sense!"

Lu Zhixing immediately became serious: "That's true! Mr. Zhang is well aware of the immense commercial value behind this..."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Suqin and said, "So what do you think we should do about this? We don't want Mr. Zhang to think that our family is not fair in handling things."

Xiao Suqin thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you arrange your recent work, and we'll take some time to go to Jiangcheng, invite the two kids out for a meal, and have a good talk with them. We must make sure that Xiao Chen accepts that one million!"
