Qin Chuan did not immediately answer Teacher Yang and Fang Rumei’s questions. Instead, he wore a thoughtful expression.
Currently, Yongnan County was completely stable. Under his name, he had residential properties, a decoration company, the Xinhua Electronics Factory, and a supermarket. He also held a ten percent stake in Li Ya’s clothing factory.
Given Yongnan County’s geographical environment and surrounding conditions, Qin Chuan had already achieved a great deal. It was actually quite difficult to develop new money-making projects or establish factories.
It wasn't that Qin Chuan wanted to leave his hometown, but the environment in Yongnan County stifled the development of many entrepreneurs. There wasn't even decent transportation, and it was far from major first-tier cities.
Unless a substantial amount of money, manpower, and resources were invested, even the most capable entrepreneurs would be powerless.
Take the Shield Locker project currently underway at Xinhua Electronics Factory, for instance. During the cooperation negotiations, many potential franchisees had ultimately given up due to the inconvenient transportation conditions in Yongnan County.
Qin Chuan sometimes felt that the success of the Shield Locker project, with franchisees growing to over 180 in three months, was largely due to divine intervention.
Otherwise, for an ordinary project under Yongnan County's conditions, achieving such success would have been a pipe dream.
If the Xinhua Electronics Factory were located in the provincial capital, perhaps 300 franchisees would have already joined.
This highlighted the critical importance of geographical location. The difference between a provincial capital and an eighteenth-tier small county was vast, extending beyond transportation to include the business environment, infrastructure, and many other aspects.
From the beginning, Qin Chuan had never intended to retire in the small county of Yongnan.
Although it was his hometown and held a unique emotional significance that other cities couldn’t replace, sentiment was sentiment, and reality was reality. As a qualified businessman, he pursued profit, not emotion.
Perhaps one day, when Qin Chuan truly achieved success, with a net worth of tens or hundreds of billions, he would reinvest in his hometown.
But for now, developing in the provincial capital was the best path forward and the most correct choice.
Unless Qin Chuan was content with his current achievements and ready to retire…
The answer was no. Qin Chuan’s achievements in his previous life were ten times what they were now, let alone in this life as a reincarnator. His goals far surpassed these minor accomplishments.
He wanted to be the pig on the cusp of the wind, not necessarily to be remembered in history, but to amass billions, because only then could he enjoy the blessings of multiple partners!
He couldn’t let go of either Teacher Yang or the beautiful factory owner from his hometown.
Li Ya had been kind to him, like an elder sister who gently gave her all throughout his journey. How could Qin Chuan betray her?
And Teacher Yang was the first serious girlfriend Qin Chuan had ever had in both his lives combined. In terms of appearance, figure, upbringing, and temperament, she perfectly fit Qin Chuan’s ideal girlfriend.
He truly couldn't give up on either of them!
To enjoy the blessings of multiple partners, Qin Chuan himself had to stand tall and possess sufficient capability.
“The construction of this MP3 project can be established in the provincial capital without issue,” Qin Chuan said after a long period of contemplation.
“To be frank, I have already been contemplating the development of my own career. My hometown has too many limitations. While I have deep feelings for it, in business, a qualified businessman cannot be swayed by emotions. For better development of the enterprise, the focus should gradually shift towards larger cities, and perhaps even relocate the main factory to a major city like the provincial capital, Longcheng.”
As Qin Chuan finished speaking, everyone in the private room reacted differently.
Teacher Yang’s beautiful eyes revealed undisguised delight. If Qin Chuan truly focused his efforts on the provincial capital, then she and Qin Chuan would no longer have to endure the hardship of a long-distance relationship. This was undoubtedly a great thing, and what she had been most looking forward to.
Xu Ronghua and Li Chunsheng were both surprised and uncertain. This was the first time they had heard Qin Chuan express such sentiments, and the implications were enormous. However, they quickly calmed down and revealed a hint of excitement. Developing in a place like the provincial capital would undoubtedly be far better than a small place like Yongnan County. Furthermore, it was very close to both their hometowns, making things much more convenient.
“However, before we can establish the MP3 factory, we must first resolve the two major issues I mentioned earlier,” Qin Chuan added. “The memory issue has been roughly resolved, but the central processor issue mentioned by Vice Factory Manager Xu has not. We must address this problem first. Also, since this is a collaboration, the shareholding issue must also be clearly discussed.”
Qin Chuan’s gaze turned towards Fang Rumei. “Sister Mei, since you cannot provide the technology, how much capital can you provide? And how large is the land for the factory…”
Fang Rumei replied, “The land issue is easy to handle. The current business of my factory is stagnant. If we can really undertake this MP3 project, I can directly convert my current factory into a site for MP3 production. As for the capital, I can probably provide ten million!”
Qin Chuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. Ten million in capital was no small sum. He hadn’t expected Fang Rumei to be so wealthy; it was truly beyond his expectations. Currently, he didn’t have much money. The ten million borrowed during the New Year had been injected with five million into Xinhua Electronics Factory and another two million into the decoration company. Only three million remained from the ten million, which was far from enough for the new projects Qin Chuan was planning. Especially if he wanted to establish a foothold in the provincial capital, the expenses would be even greater. Whether it was the land for building the factory, the construction itself, or the procurement of machinery and equipment later, it would all require a large sum of money. Therefore, finding a partner like Fang Rumei was essential and the best solution.
“Qin Chuan!” At this moment, Fang Rumei continued. “We are all insiders. Zimuo is also here today, so let’s be upfront and honest, discarding all the pretense of business dealings. While I cannot provide much in terms of technology, I can offer the factory premises and ten million in capital. If the capital is insufficient later, I can add more. Additionally, you are unfamiliar with this provincial capital, and I can provide many connections. Moreover, I discovered this MP3 project. Therefore, I want a fifty-one percent stake!”
