With the freshly minted Swiss bank card, which had just returned 19 million, Liu Chen first enjoyed a bath in the house with underfloor heating before he could feel a sense of reality about owning land.
While owning land was certainly a joy, building a factory wasn't just about the land; it was about having a factory and a building.
Subconsciously, Liu Chen thought of finding Old Master Chen, as Old Master Chen's factory occupied a vast area.
However, Liu Chen immediately shook his head and dismissed the idea.
"I have a high-quality factory construction blueprint. I don't need any architectural designers. I just need a construction team that will obediently build houses according to my blueprints."
With the requirements clarified, Liu Chen thought of someone.
"Uncle Mi is in the construction business, isn't he? Although he's mainly doing interior decoration now, he's definitely capable of handling his old trade, construction, if he puts his mind to it!"
Thinking this, Liu Chen stopped his bath, stood up, dried himself, changed into a fluffy pink down jacket and white fleece-lined pants, grabbed his folder, and shuffled downstairs to ring Mi Zhuzhu's doorbell.
When Mr. Mi heard the doorbell, he was puzzled. Who would be ringing the doorbell at noon on New Year's Day holiday?
Liu Chen stood at the door. When he saw Uncle Mi, wearing a padded pajama set and black slippers, opening the door, his face lit up with a smile.
"Uncle Mi! Happy New Year!"
"Ah! Chen Chen! Happy New Year!" After speaking, Mr. Mi's gaze shifted behind Liu Chen, looking for his Zhuzhu.
Noticing his reaction, Liu Chen quickly said:
"Uncle, I'm back this time for something I need to take care of. Zhuzhu isn't with me."
"Oh... is that so..." Mr. Mi listened and let out a faint sigh, looking puzzled. "Chen Chen, then you are here..."
Liu Chen didn't stand on ceremony and stated his purpose.
"Hmm? Building a factory? The blueprints are ready? Then I can do it. Hmm, let's go upstairs and talk."
Liu Chen glanced at the somewhat cluttered living room of the Mi family. It was evident that with Mi Zhuzhu not at home, Mr. Mi likely treated the house purely as a place to rest and sleep, not bothering to tidy it up.
Upon reaching the second floor, Liu Chen took out his construction blueprint. Mr. Mi was astonished by the thick stack of drawings. He flipped through them, then seriously called several professionals to examine them.
They spent the entire afternoon looking at it, with the professionals occasionally exclaiming:
"Amazing!"
"Which master designed this blueprint?"
"This blueprint is incredibly detailed and lifelike!"
"Not a single area is wasted!"
"Wow, and it even has space reserved for future factory expansion!"
Liu Chen glanced at the densely packed data and various elevation drawings and felt overwhelmed. Well, it was better to leave professional matters to professionals. Moreover, Liu Chen was 100% confident that anything from the system was top-notch.
While Mr. Mi and his team of professionals were discussing, Liu Chen sat on the sofa and called Old Master Chen.
"Grandpa, I bought some land."
"That's great. When should I have someone take a look and then come up with a factory design plan?"
"The design plan is ready, and so is the person to build the factory."
"You child, handling such a big matter all by yourself. Alright then, I'll take a look at the rest. Oh! The production line, right? If you don't mind old ones, you can take over the two production lines from the factory. They're already debugged. Of course, you can buy an extra one as a backup."
"Grandpa..."
"Yes, yes, yes. Whatever you want to do, you say it, and I'll handle it for you!"
Liu Chen smiled slightly, holding the phone. "I want to buy three production lines. I know our current production lines are imported from abroad, and the delivery time is long. I'll order three first."
"Three? Chen Chen, Grandpa doesn't know how much money you have, but the cost of production lines is not much less than building a factory. Three production lines, even with connections, will cost at least five million to acquire."
Old Master Chen's voice came through the phone. Liu Chen, holding over 80 million in his balance, plus the recently returned 19 million, didn't hesitate.
He inserted the security dongle into his laptop, opened the online banking transfer interface, and directly transferred five million to Old Master Chen's personal account.
The operation was smooth and took less than two minutes.
Old Master Chen on the other end also received the text message, but didn't think much of it, only asking further:
"Chen Chen, when you move your factory, should Grandpa give you another production line?"
Liu Chen was grateful but unwilling to accept a production line gifted by Old Master Chen. After all, if Old Master Chen gave him a production line, he would have to buy a new one to maintain his output.
Furthermore, new production lines require time for acclimatization and debugging to adjust the yield rate to nearly 100%. Of course, it could only approach 100%, as no factory's production line could claim a 100% yield rate.
"Grandpa, I know you're doing this for my own good, but please check your phone now. I just transferred five million to you."
When Old Master Chen heard this, he became somewhat dejected.
"Chen Chen, you call me Grandpa, yet when it comes to building your factory, such a big matter, Grandpa couldn't help at all. How can I accept this?"
Liu Chen had to resort to his "acting cute" tactic: "Grandpa, you're just trying to shower me with money, aren't you? If you really want to help me, I would be happiest if you could come and oversee the factory construction from time to time!"
Old Master Chen wanted to say more, but Liu Chen's constant "Grandpa" and "Grandpa" so delighted him that by the time he agreed and hung up the phone, he realized that he, as a grandfather, hadn't spent a single cent!
On this side, Liu Chen had finished his phone call with Old Master Chen to arrange for the production line equipment. On the other side, Mr. Mi and his professional team had finished studying the blueprints.
"Chen Chen, your construction blueprint is excellent. I can say that the person, or rather the company, that produced this for you, absolutely has considerable experience." Mr. Mi gave a thumbs up.
"Look, there are not only five production buildings but also three配套 employee dormitories, an office building, and a research laboratory. That is to say, you bought ten acres of land; otherwise, it would be difficult to fit so many buildings."
Liu Chen looked at a page of the blueprint that Mr. Mi had opened. The blueprint clearly showed the scale of measurement and the buildings marked in different colors scattered across it.
Liu Chen felt as if he could see his own buildings rising before his eyes.
"Uncle Mi, I'm returning to Beijing tomorrow. Could you please quickly prepare a budget? I'll transfer the first batch of money to you, and we can start construction as soon as possible, can we build it quickly?"
Mr. Mi heard this and seemed a bit troubled, scratching his head.
"That might be a bit difficult."
