Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Chapter 398 To Get Rich, Build Roads First

He had AI assistant Xiaobai secretly track and record the words and actions of these volunteers.

The willingness to put aside one's work and travel to distant places to help complete strangers speaks volumes about one's character.

Linquan, a company with abundant resources, values ​​the character of its employees more than their skill level.

With the core technology and complete equipment to replicate the Earth, making money is just a natural consequence.

Since there is no shortage of funds, the impact of slightly inferior employee capabilities is negligible.

Of course, this is on the premise that Lin Quan truly has a treasure trove and can truly replicate the earth; if he doesn't have these two trump cards, he will definitely be like an ordinary entrepreneur, repeatedly weighing the talents and virtues of his subordinates.

The same mountain can present vastly different views depending on where you stand or how high you climb.

One hundred dollars is nothing to a rich person, but to a poor person it is a heavy weight of hope.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Hearing that the reform movement was sweeping across the strait, Lin Quan couldn't help but smile.

"We will acquire 100,000 mu of industrial land and relocate all high-precision factories such as chip factories and wafer fabs there."

"The prospects for highways and high-speed rail lines are broad, and we must strive to secure the general contracting rights."

As Lin Quan boarded the flight to Beijing, his heart was filled with eager anticipation.

As soon as I stepped out of the airport, someone came forward to greet me.

The cooperation was agreed upon at the dinner table, and Yaoyang Group was granted 100,000 mu of industrial land at zero cost, and also won the general contracting qualification for the construction of highways and high-speed railways.

Once the location for the industrial park was chosen, Lin Quan made a phone call.

The following morning, the construction team from Yaoyang Construction Company, along with heavy machinery, drove into Beijing in a grand procession.

He plans to build a smarter, more efficient, and greener chip factory, wafer fab, and data center in the suburbs of Beijing...

Hong Kong’s existing chip factories, wafer fabs, and data centers will be gradually relocated to Beijing.

To completely solve Hong Kong's power bottleneck, he decided to build a nuclear power plant.

Relying on the cutting-edge technology of Earth China Power Company, this nuclear power plant will be decades ahead of Earth in performance once it is completed.

After Lin Quan handed over the core technology, the plan to purchase equipment for the Langguo nuclear power plant was shelved.

With mature solutions in hand, we can build a nuclear power plant that is independent and controllable simply by following the blueprints.

For several months in a row, Lin Quan's phone was almost constantly ringing – he kept getting calls and dialing non-stop.

Ninety percent of Yaoyang Construction Company's manpower and machinery are working tirelessly on the construction site across the river.

Laying submarine optical cables, erecting communication optical fibers, building base station towers, expanding national highways, and digging high-speed rail tunnels... even the foundations of office buildings were reinforced at the same time.

"The money comes in much faster than the money is burned."

The cash on the Yaoyang Group's books, when converted into Hong Kong dollars, has soared to over 3.2 trillion.

In early summer last year, 36 satellites developed by Yaoyang were successfully launched into orbit.

Taking advantage of the situation, the group launched a satellite TV station, and the telecommunications company simultaneously launched a satellite-connected mobile phone.

The satellite phone, with a factory price of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, sold more than 500,000 units in just six months.

The satellite computer in the same series was priced at 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and sales also exceeded 150,000 units.

Satellite terminals with global coverage have long been a lifesaver for special positions such as expedition teams, scientific research teams, and border outposts.

Lost in the mountains? Just take out your phone to call for help; need urgent confidential documents? A tap of your finger can send them across the ocean.

The annual fee of two thousand Hong Kong dollars is, in the eyes of those who truly need it, no more than the cost of a meal.

The day Lin Quan returned to Beijing, he casually bought a quiet manor.

That morning, as he was flipping through the newspaper, he suddenly saw that Li Yangcheng was making a high-profile foray into the mainland real estate market.

After being suppressed for many years, Li Yangcheng finally turned his attention to the blue ocean of mainland real estate.

Back in Hong Kong, Yiu Yeung Group was incredibly wealthy, forcing local real estate developers to struggle to stay afloat.

In land auctions, as long as Yaoyang Construction raises its bid, others basically give up; once the buildings are completed, the prices are suppressed so much that they can't be raised—now Xiangjiang Real Estate Company is reduced to only three companies barely surviving.

The three vital water, electricity, and gas supplies to the people are all under the control of Yaoyang Group.

On the streets and alleys, countless Hong Kong people privately call Chung Kwok-hung "King of Hong Kong".

Macau has its gambling king, and Hong Kong has its king.

"Li Yangcheng has also quietly acquired several plots of land next to the one he acquired, and land prices are currently low."

"If you want to get rich, build roads first—lay highways and railways first, and then donate funds to build schools two years later."

Lin Quan and Qin Jingru stepped onto the blue bricks of the courtyard again, a familiar feeling tinged with a hint of estrangement.

"Ah Quan, could you spare a TV for me?" Liu Haizhong asked as he arrived at the door.

"Second Uncle, what do you want? I'll give you one for free!" Lin Quan laughed loudly.

We've been neighbors for a long time, so giving away a TV is really no big deal.

"Ah Quan, I'm thinking of getting into the television business," Liu Haizhong said, rubbing his hands together.

"Then let's pick up the goods in Shenzhou," Lin Quan replied readily.

"I...I..." Liu Haizhong stammered for a long time, but swallowed the words back before he could finish speaking.

Lin Quan knew perfectly well that the other party was after tax-evading, low-priced machines, but he pretended not to understand, though a sense of annoyance rose in his heart.

Liu Haizhong walked away dejectedly, his shoes dragging on the ground, each step unsteady.

A few minutes later, Xu Damao pushed the door open and came in.

"Da Mao, what's up?" Lin Quan greeted him with a smile.

"Ah Quan, could you buy some goods for me?" Xu Damao asked bluntly.

"What do you want?" Lin Quan asked instead of responding.

"Your factory's TVs, tape recorders, computers, mobile phones, DVDs... were sold out as soon as they arrived in Shenzhou. I want to take some to sell," Xu Damao said without any attempt to hide it.

"How much cash do you have on hand?" Lin Quan asked directly.

"Three thousand," Xu Damao honestly reported the number.

"Just three thousand?" Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, but thinking of their years of neighborly friendship, he thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, go to Shenzhou to pick up the goods. Take ten of each kind first, and settle the bill after you sell them all."

"Thank you, A-Quan! Thank you so much!" Xu Damao's eyes welled up with tears.

"Why haven't I seen Haitang today?" Lin Quan asked casually.

"I've gone back to my parents' home." Xu Damao frowned.

"Da Mao, you're almost forty, aren't you?" Lin Quan changed the subject.

"I'm forty-one." Xu Damao sighed.

"Tsk, time flies faster than a horse—I'm thirty-eight this year." Lin Quan shook his head and sighed.

"That's right, it's gone in the blink of an eye." Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

Lin Quan took out his phone, dialed the number of the Shenzhou warehouse, and explained the situation in a few words.

"Ah Quan, thanks a lot!" Xu Damao turned and left, his back looking much lighter.

After spending the night in the courtyard, Lin Quan started the car and drove Qin Jingru straight to Qin Family Village in the suburbs.

As soon as we entered the village, Liu Chunyan came out to greet us, her eyes lighting up and her eyebrows arching with a smile: "A-Quan, Jingru is back!"

"Dad, Mom, I brought some things." Lin Quan took out a satellite phone, several sets of thick clothes, and two pairs of sturdy rubber shoes from the trunk.

"I'll go cook!" Liu Chunyan rolled up her sleeves and turned to leave.

"Let the stove rest for a bit. We brought the food back; it'll be ready to serve after we heat it up," Lin Quan said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

"Okay!" Liu Chunyan nodded readily and turned to get the bowls and chopsticks.
