Returning to the millennium, starting by targeting financial tycoons.

Early the next morning.

Qin Hanyang rented a car and took Xie Feiji with him from Chengdu to Huilong Village, the former's hometown.

Xie Feiji asked in surprise, "You got your driver's license?"

"No, I paid someone to do it."

Qin Hanyang shook his head. These days, you don't even need to go to the test site to get a driver's license; you can get one by spending a little money.

Seeing that Xie Feiji still looked nervous, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've learned to drive. Just sit tight and hold on."

Seeing Qin Hanyang's smooth and skillful maneuvering, Xie Feiji finally felt at ease and settled into his seat.

Then, the former focused on driving, while the latter took out his phone and, like a host, kept making phone calls to the squad leader, Hu Ting.

"Yes, yes, you take a bus from the bus station for 5 yuan, then transfer to a motorcycle taxi in the town below..."

Qin Hanyang said that a motorcycle taxi could take you to their village for just 3 yuan...

"A motorcycle taxi can carry two people, and the woman sitting in the middle is like a sandwich filling..."

"Okay, okay, we estimate we'll arrive around the same time."

The call ended.

Xie Feiji suddenly asked, "Should we tell them about your company?"

"There's no need."

Qin Hanyang shook his head and said half-jokingly, "It's just a small company now. It might collapse in a while and be heavily in debt again. I'm afraid I'll really have to ask them for donations then."

"That makes sense. We should keep a low profile for a while."

Xie Feiji originally intended to help his good friend put on a show, but after a month of training, he had become much more composed and decided to help keep it a secret for the time being.

"By the way, how much money have you made so far?"

"I've made millions, but my money is dwindling, and now my accounts are constantly running a deficit."

Qin Hanyang gave him this answer.

Currently, this is indeed the case.

The royalties for "The Legend of Wukong" have not yet been settled. In addition to the previous contract buyout fees, he has been the one advancing the funds for reprints. Otherwise, Qin Hanyang would not be in such a hurry to ask Ding Sanshi for donations.

In addition, the agency agreements with Hong Kong and Taiwan record companies will definitely require a considerable amount of money upfront.

The royalties will probably be settled the following month, then I'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

But the pressure of this funding shortage is still palpable.

We need to urge Zheng Yuan to release the single as soon as possible, and see if we can recover a significant portion of our losses from wireless ringtones.

Those days of engaging in fraud and extortion everywhere still put his mental fortitude to the test.

Although the money came quickly, he was also afraid that he might make a mistake one day.

Xie Feiji was still astonished by the numbers he had revealed.

"Millions... Damn, isn't that like winning the lottery?"

"Hehe, the lottery is a scam, you can't win anything, but my millions are real."

"Whether it's true or not, I don't even dare to think that if I poured all that money into 'Legend of Mir,' I could become the number one player in the entire server."

"Is that all the grit you've got...?"

With nothing else to do, Qin Hanyang started bragging to him.

"However, it's hard to say if it's number one in the entire region. There are quite a few big shots in this game, especially those who are rich and powerful. For them, throwing in a million or two is just a drop in the ocean. There are quite a few people like that."

"That's true."

Xie Feiji agreed with this statement.

The extent of the craze surrounding "Legend" is now known to people both inside and outside the gaming community. After all, the fact that a single weapon can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars has even made the news.

After all, Shanda's owner, Mr. Chen, became the richest man in China because of this game, which shows how much money he made.

In fact, if it weren't for running into Tang Wanxin who came hunting, Qin Hanyang might have even considered starting a private server studio for the game "Legend" to make his first fortune. He could have earned hundreds of thousands or even millions a year without much pressure.

The two chatted casually along the way.

The car arrived at the entrance of Huilong Village at around 11 a.m.

Xie Feiji spotted a group of people gathered near a newly built house, pointed to it, and asked...

"Is it the place where they hold banquets?"

"That's right."

In rural areas, building a house is a major event, no less important than weddings or funerals, and it's normal to hold a banquet for it.

Qin Hanyang hadn't expected his uncle Wang Pengfei to be so fast, completing the house in just one month.

Of course, this "completed" stage only means that the roof of the house has been completed.

The interior, including the floors and walls, was completely untouched.

But this speed is already fast enough.

Moreover, for rural people, this almost completes 99% of the task.

After all, what people look at is whether it's tall, big, or stylish from the outside.

Few people actually care about the remaining renovations, which precisely reflects the mentality of rural people who only care about appearances and not substance.

Qin Hanyang found an open space, parked his car, and waited at the village entrance for about ten minutes.

Five motorcycles, like a convoy, stopped in front of them one after another.

After getting out of the car, Hu Ting and Jiang Nanyue quickly tidied their appearance.

Hu Ting casually complained, "Pfft! It got all dust on my face!"

"Luckily it's not far..."

Jiangnan Yue exchanged a delighted glance with Qin Hanyang, then curiously looked around at everything.

"Let's hurry over there, it's almost lunchtime."

Qin Hanyang, as the person who invited them, quickly got to greet them.

"Yes, yes, I heard they even slaughtered a pig this time. It's authentic local pork from the countryside, something you can't usually afford."

Xie Feiji also helped to promote the place, afraid that the group would look down on Qin Hanyang's hometown.

But those who made a special trip here today are all close classmates, so they don't care about these things.

Hu Ting and a few other girls found this environment quite novel.

"Qin Hanyang, do you have any bayberries or grapes in your hometown? Take us to pick some later."

"Absolutely no problem."

Qin Hanyang responded with a smile.

At this moment, one of the boys, named Liu Gui, approached, punched Xie Feiji, and put his arm around him.

"Damn Xie Feiji, not to mention Qin Hanyang, you earned some money working during the holidays, aren't you going to treat everyone to a good meal when you get back?"

"Please, please, please. I'll treat you tonight when I get home."

As Xie Feiji spoke, he glanced at Qin Hanyang and said meaningfully, "The few hundred yuan I earn is nothing in some people's eyes."

The others didn't understand, but that didn't stop Xie Feiji from agreeing to treat them.

"That's enough, that's enough. We can just play around for a bit tonight, and then go to the internet cafe for an all-nighter."

soon.

Qin Hanyang led the way to the place where the banquet was being held.

"Hehehe~"

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, Brother Bo, the village keeper, greeted Qin Hanyang excitedly.

"Brother Bo," Qin Hanyang responded.

Brother Bo laughed as he came over and patted Qin Hanyang on the shoulder while talking to him:

"Time to eat! Come and sit down!"

Bo Ge's appearance startled Hu Ting and the other girls behind him, who walked past him shakily.

After Hu Ting walked away, she made a joke, still feeling a bit shaken:

"Qin Hanyang, when you get married in the future, won't you bring your wife back here for the New Year or something?"

"More or less."

Qin Hanyang laughed and said, "Why are you concerned about this? What, you want to stay here? It just so happens that Brother Bo doesn't have a wife yet, and I think he likes you quite a bit."

"Pah, pah, pah."

Everyone burst into laughter. Hu Ting glared at Jiang Nanyue angrily, "Hmph, I was asking for someone else."

Xie Feiji interrupted, "It's okay, class monitor. If you're interested, I think that Brother Bo is pretty good too, quite a good match."

Qin Hanyang, who was walking in front, glanced around the crowd and spotted Qin Anhua and Wang Huirong.

"Dad, Mom."

Qin Anhua and Wang Huirong arrived the night before.

They even helped with some of the ceremonies, providing guidance and organizing them.

"Oh dear, the students are here too! Come on, have a seat!"

Wang Huirong had already received the news and waved to Wang Pengfei, who was not far away, saying, "Quickly clear a table so the children can sit together and eat together."

"Okay, students, follow me."

Wang Pengfei exchanged a glance with Qin Hanyang and quickly invited his classmates over to sit down and wait for the meal to begin.

Qin Hanyang did not sit down, but came out alone and chatted with Wang Pengfei.

"Uncle, you're building this house really fast."

"Fast? That's because I pay you a lot! Actually, this is considered slow. Otherwise, if we worked day and night, it would only take twenty days to finish."

Wang Pengfei lit a cigarette, looking somewhat smug.

During that time, he was the most popular person in the entire village.

Even the neighboring village was spreading rumors that he had become a boss and built a big villa.

But when he thought that the money came from his nephew, he immediately suppressed his smugness.

Qin Hanyang asked, "When are you planning to go back to Chengdu?"

"It can be done tomorrow. Anyway, the house is already topped out. We've already contacted the workers for the rest, so we can let them take their time. They're all skilled craftsmen from the neighboring village, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Wang Pengfei didn't want to linger too long. He was actually a restless and adventurous person who couldn't wait to return to Chengdu.

He immediately realized something and pressed, "By the way, Yangyang, you said you'd find me a job, what exactly is it?"

Seeing that Wang Pengfei had brought up serious matters, Qin Hanyang did not intend to hide anything:

"How about I invest in you and open an electronics factory?"

"An electronics factory? What do they do?"

Wang Pengfei was taken aback, then said with some concern, "Isn't this investment too big? Where did you get so much money? Besides... I'm afraid I can't handle it."

He had initially thought it would be some minor task, but the answer was completely unexpected and even somewhat frightening.

Qin Hanyang shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we're going for a light industry approach, and we'll only be making one new product that you probably haven't heard of or seen before."

"What's all this nonsense?" Wang Pengfei asked, intrigued by the intriguing tone.

"Universal charger".

After Qin Hanyang finished speaking, Wang Pengfei still frowned. After confirming it once, he finally shook his head.

"I've never heard of it."

"If you have time, don't go back to Chengdu yet. I'll give you a phone number. Go directly to Henan Province and find a high school student named Chen Tianhan, who is the same age as me. He just registered this patent. Buy it from him for 100,000 yuan."

"100,000 yuan? To buy a patent? Is that enough?"

"It's okay, just tell him we don't buy exclusives."

After Qin Hanyang finished speaking, he added, "Also, if he refuses to sell, threaten him by saying that we will directly produce pirated copies, and he won't get a single penny of patent fees."

"...No, is it really that barbaric?" Wang Pengfei scratched his head.

"What, are you afraid of getting beaten up?" Qin Hanyang laughed.

"No, that's not it. It's alright, we'll do it your way."

Wang Pengfei originally wanted to continue complaining, but after thinking about Qin Hanyang's previous actions, he chose to shut up.

"After you come back, we'll use his patent to find someone to make molds and customize machines. This thing is just a small gadget; a budget of one million is enough to set up a factory."

After Qin Hanyang finished speaking, he gestured with his hand to indicate the numbers, "I'll give you 70% of the shares and you'll give me 30%, and then you'll become the general manager and be a real boss for once."

"Okay! I'll leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Wang Pengfei didn't care much about the number of shares.

In his view, whatever Qin Hanyang gave him was only because of their kinship, so he could only complain about too much and dared not complain about too little, and he felt only gratitude.

What he cared about most was the "boss's" promise.

This is the position he has always dreamed of.

"By the way, how did you get that person's phone number?"

"Found it online."

Qin Hanyang answered truthfully.

Finding the founder was easy for him, as Chen Tianhan had participated in many technology competitions and television programs, making him a natural fit.

At the beginning of the millennium, the most "bargain" product was the USB flash drive.

Langke is so rich from collecting patent fees that it's practically drowning in them!

Secondly, there's the universal charger.

This thing has no technical barriers at all, and in terms of patents, the benefits it brings to its creator, Chen Tianhan, are simply incomparable to those of a USB flash drive.

Adding a scrolling light or music playback can perfectly avoid it.

This has led to too many copycats in the market!

With just a little money spent on mold making, even a small workshop can produce it!

Qin Hanyang spent quite a bit of effort investigating this patent.

Because at that time, this thing wasn't called a universal charger yet!

It's still the name given by the merchant.

Qin Hanyang couldn't find it on the national patent website at all. It took him a lot of effort to find out that it was called "universal charger for mobile phone batteries" on the patent website.

It has to be said that the founder is too young.

There are too many vulnerabilities currently!

Qin Hanyang even plans to register the three words "universal charger" as a patent!

This thing is a godsend for ordinary people.

As long as we make it, there's absolutely no way we can lose money now!

the other side.

Xie Feiji, Hu Ting, and Jiang Nanyue sat at a table waiting for their meal.

Hu Ting, sitting next to Xie Feiji, suddenly nudged him with her elbow:

"Xie Fei, I discussed this with everyone before. What do you think about us each contributing 200 yuan to give Qin Hanyang a red envelope? We're donating money to him, but he probably won't accept it."

Xie Feiji almost laughed when he heard this: "Forget it, let's not get involved in this. He's not short of money."

"Stop joking, I'm serious."

Hu Ting said with a serious expression, "He works so hard, and the tuition for a third-tier university is so expensive..."

Xie Feiji had no words to express his suffering: "Sister, I work hard too."

The two of them were whispering to each other.

Suddenly, the crowd stirred, and everyone looked outside.

It turned out that a long convoy of cars drove up from the village entrance and then stopped in front of Wang Pengfei's house.

Many people got out of the car and congratulated Wang Pengfei.

"Master Wang! Congratulations on the completion of your new residence!"

"Please have a seat!"

Wang Pengfei was somewhat surprised, but quickly went to greet him.

These were all acquaintances of his from his time at Delong Group. He never expected that they would get the news and come in person.

"Did you see that?"

Upon seeing this, Xie Feiji retorted, "Forget about his parents. Look at Qin Hanyang's uncle; he's not short of money. Why do we need to worry about him?"
