CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Seeing how excited everyone was, Gao Qilin stopped hiding things and revealed the project directly.

"A seafood project? Are you sure you're not kidding us?"

Everyone present looked surprised after hearing Gao Qilin's words, after all, they were all office workers.

It's really a bit difficult to put the people in the office in charge of such a project.

"I know this project is completely outside your area of ​​expertise, but right now, there really aren't any other projects you can take on besides this."

So please bear with me for now, but don't worry, I'll share the first profits once this project launches.

I'm sharing it all with everyone, without holding anything back.

In order to get everyone to do their best, Gao Qilin offered these conditions directly.

Seeing that Gao Qilin was willing to split all the profits equally, the people present instantly became excited, even though this was something they weren't good at.

Many people have made bold claims, saying they are confident they can make the project a success.

"Whether you can succeed in this project isn't something you can just talk about; it depends on your capabilities. Since you all..."

"Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time. Let's go and conduct an on-site investigation as soon as possible and try to come up with a solution."

Upon hearing this, the people present immediately dispersed and flocked to the area managed by Gao Qilin.

When they saw the boundless ocean before them, they were at a loss for what to do.

"How do you run this fishing business? Isn't it a business that depends on the weather? If you're lucky, you can catch a lot of fish."

"The more you earn, the more you make; if you're unlucky, you'll earn less."

After seeing everything before him, one of them began to complain. At that moment, he started to regret taking on this task.

There are already 10 projects.

But now that things have come to this point, no matter how much he regrets it, it's too late; he can only grit his teeth and bear it.

Go and think of a solution.

"How about this, we invest more money to buy more fishing boats, so that every time we go out to sea to fish..."

More fish will come up, and naturally, more money will be made.

"Buying a ship doesn't require money, do you? You know what state Qiangsheng Group is in now, do you think they can come up with that much?"

"Do you have that much money to buy a fishing boat?"

However, his proposal was rejected again, which silenced the room once more.

Just as they were at a loss, Gao Qilin and his group arrived at the scene. Upon seeing the scene before them, they also showed...

He looked completely bewildered.

　890 Meanwhile, Gao Qilan began visiting people in her industry, inquiring about their incomes. After doing so, she had a...

Having determined the data, he found Gao Qilin and said:

"I just asked them, and one boat can catch about 50,000 fish a month and sell them for around that. We currently have ten boats in total."

According to their data, our monthly income from fishing boats is around 500,000 yuan, after deducting various expenses.

In the end, we only received a little over 100,000 yuan.

"What? Only such a small amount of money? I'd rather use that money to invest in stocks."

After hearing Gao Qilan's words, Gao Qilin couldn't help but complain. At this moment, he finally understood why Zhao Hu was willing.

I gave this project to myself; it turns out it never made any money before.

"That Zhao Hu is really something. I thought he was genuinely looking out for us, but it turns out he just dumped what he didn't want on us."

It seems I trusted too much before. Now I realize I have to rely on myself; I can't trust others at all.

Chapter 514 Developing Tourism Projects

At this moment, Gao Qilin looked helpless, wishing he could smash the ships in front of him to vent his dissatisfaction.

"You can't say that. There's always a way out. Even if we can't make money fishing, we can make money in other ways. Look at how nice the surrounding environment is, and how close it is to the city. If we consider it as a tourist destination, it would be an excellent place."

Just as Gao Qilin was getting annoyed, Gao Qilan, who was standing to the side, voiced her opinion.

After hearing what Gao Qilan said, Gao Qilin turned his attention to his surroundings. He observed carefully and found that, just as Gao Qilan had said, the surrounding environment was exceptionally good, and their fishing boat had an artistic style. If they were to turn it into a tourist attraction, they would definitely make a fortune.

However, if they were to treat it as a tourist attraction, they would need to spend money on renovations to make it more eye-catching. They only had 100,000 yuan on hand, and they also had matters to attend to in the stock market. This made Gao Qilin very worried, fearing that he wouldn't have the money to get everything sorted out.

"Why don't we ask Old Zhong and see if he can offer us any help? Given the current situation, he's the only one we can trust."

Just as Gao Qilin was at a loss, Gao Qilan once again voiced her thoughts.

However, Gao Qilin did not want to trouble Elder Zhong, since he had already done a lot for him before, and it would be really unreasonable to trouble him again for this matter.

However, after careful consideration, Gao Qilin couldn't think of any other way, so he could only do as Gao Qilan said.

Before heading to Zhong Lao's place, Gao Qilin gathered the employees together and shared his thoughts.

"A tourism project—why didn't I think of that before? It's definitely the CEO; his thinking is so different from ours."

"That's right. Even if I had ten heads, I probably wouldn't have thought of this method. Now that we've come up with it, let's not waste any more time and quickly follow the instructions."

At this point, those people were already showing signs of impatience, wishing they could finish the renovations right now.

"Since no one has any objections, let's do it the way I suggested."

Seeing that everyone's opinions were so unified, Gao Qilin felt relieved. After giving them a brief explanation, he left the place and headed towards Old Zhong's house.

When she saw Gao Qilin and the others return, Zhong Xiaoai still acted very enthusiastically and asked them about their recent situation.

"Recent progress has been much smoother than before, but we have now encountered a major problem."

"If you encounter any problems, feel free to tell me. Maybe I can provide you with a very good solution."

Seeing that Gao Qilin had encountered some trouble, Zhong Xiaoai immediately began to inquire, hoping that she could help in some way.

"It would be better to talk to your dad about this. By the way, where's he? Isn't he home today?"

"His friend had some business to attend to today, so he just went out for a bit. If you need anything, just let me know. Even if I can't help much, I can pass on the message when my dad comes back."

Gao Qilin looked closely and found that this was indeed the case, and since he trusted Zhong Xiaoai, he directly told her about his current situation.

“I’ve recently taken a liking to a marine project and want to develop it into a tourist destination, but we’re currently short of funds for renovations, so I’d like to ask you for a loan.”

“I thought it was something serious, but it's just money. That's easy, wait a moment, I'll go get it for you.”

Upon hearing that Gao Qilin was there for money, Zhong Xiaoai immediately agreed. She then returned to her room and began searching. A short while later, she returned with a card and handed it to Gao Qilin, saying, "Xian..."

"There isn't a lot of money in this card, but there's still a few hundred thousand. That should be enough to handle things for now. If you need more money later, you can come to me and I can help you think of other solutions."

"Where did you get this money? I don't remember you ever having this much money before."

Upon seeing Zhong Xiaoai suddenly produce so much money (from Qian Nuo), Gao Qilin felt no gratitude; instead, he began to question her.

"Of course I saved this money. I've been working for so long, how could I not save some money? It's just that my dad is afraid I'll spend it recklessly, so he hasn't let me use this money. That's why you usually get the impression that I don't have much money on me. But I swear, I have never used this as an excuse to spend your money."

Fearing that Gao Qilin would misunderstand her, Zhong Xiaoai immediately explained the purpose of the money after stating it.

"I never said you were wasting my money. You're my woman, it's only natural for me to spend some money on you. But I can't accept this money."

Chapter 515 Solving the Money Problem

"why?"

When Zhong Xiaoai heard that Gao Qilin refused her money, she looked very confused.

"Why can't you take my money? Isn't my money money too?"

"No, it's not that. It's just that I don't usually spend women's money. Besides, this money is what you've worked hard to save. If I were to spend it like this, I think you would feel guilty. So let's just keep it. Don't worry, with my extensive network, I'm sure there are other ways to make money."

To put Zhong Xiaoai at ease, Gao Qilin said those words, and then prepared to leave.

But he had only taken two steps when Zhong Xiaoai stopped him.

"Don't lie to me. We've been together for so long, don't I know your personality? If you really had other options, you wouldn't be coming to me, right?"

"This……"

Gao Qilin never expected that he would be seen through, which left him speechless for a moment.

"890, stop pretending. Hurry up and use this money. Consider it a loan to you. When you make money, you can pay me back double."

At this moment, Gao Qilin was still arguing, but after seeing Zhong Xiaoai's attitude, he realized that if he didn't accept the money, she would keep nagging about this matter.

Faced with this situation, Gao Qilin had no choice but to compromise and accept the money.

"Since you've said so, I have no choice but to accept it. Don't worry, I'll pay you back in no time. But let me tell you first, you shouldn't tell your father about this. I don't think it's appropriate for him to know."

After saying that, Gao Qilin took the money and left immediately, afraid that he would stay too long and let Old Zhong know about his situation.

"Didn't you say before that your purpose in coming here was to borrow money from Professor Zhong? Now that you've borrowed the money, why don't you let Professor Zhong know?"

After hearing Gao Qilin's last words, Gao Qilan looked very confused and expressed her inner confusion.

“I contacted him before because I knew he had money, but I don’t want him to know now because I don’t want him to worry about my affairs. Think about it, he’s already quite old. Isn’t it unreasonable to make him worry about my affairs?”

After careful consideration, Gao Qilan realized that this was indeed the case, so she didn't say anything more. The two of them returned to Qiangsheng Group and began to discuss revising the plan.

Although those people had little experience in fishing, they were very accomplished in design and creation. After some thought, they quickly came up with the most cost-effective solution.

“If we purchase the materials according to my plan, we can buy them for less than 500,000 yuan. Then we can use the remaining money to hire workers. In this way, we can get things done here for less than one million yuan.”
