Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 428 The Fourth Action Round

In Max's quiet study, which is soundproofed, the heavy curtains are drawn, and only the chandelier above emits bright light.

Zhou Wang sat in front of a large solid wood desk, waving a black fountain pen in his hand. The gold-rimmed pen tip quickly wrote down Chinese characters on the draft paper, but he paused from time to time, showing his thoughts.

The floor, walls, and desk were covered with draft papers covered with various handwritings and symbols. More than half of the bottle of limited edition ink produced in Neuschwanstein Castle had been used up, which showed how quickly Zhou Wang was writing.

Fortunately, this Montblanc fountain pen is of good quality and is extremely comfortable to write with, otherwise Zhou Wang might have given up long ago.

The pen and ink were part of the souvenirs Davis Properties gave him upon moving in. It was said that the total cost was five figures, but these items were a bit niche, and Zhou Wang wasn't quite sure if they really cost that much.

"..."

Finally, when Zhou Wang finished writing the last word on the last piece of paper, he let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair and stretched.

Ding Dong!

The cell phone rang again. Zhou Wang, who hadn't looked at his phone for a long time, picked it up and was shocked.

Shit, it’s almost eleven in the morning?

The last time Zhou Wang looked at his phone was in the middle of the night. He didn’t expect that he had been immersed in that state for seven or eight hours.

This means that he has been in the study for more than ten hours since he entered it last night.

...There's no way, this is the focused and charming Capricorn.

There were several empty Oriental Leaf water bottles and a bottle of imported Black Ivory cold brew coffee in the trash can. On the table was a leftover plate with a few remaining cherries and a small piece of steak bone on it.

Ok?
Where did this plate come from?
Oh, it seemed that Xu Wenxi came in in the middle of the night and brought me food. No wonder I wasn’t hungry at all.

Zhou Wang shook his head and briefly replied to Xu Wenxi, saying that he would be out soon. Then he rubbed his swollen and aching temples and realized that he seemed to have overused his brain.

After smoking a cigarette to calm down, Zhou Wang stood up and began to collect the papers scattered everywhere. Then he posted them one by one on the whiteboard wall in the study according to their categories.

There is only one last step left, which is to organize these papers containing "summaries and plans" into categories before the sorting is complete.

……

【Wealth assets】

【Cash: 8900 million (personal) + 1.35 million (public account)】

……

【Gender relations】

【Family Strategy】

【Credit Capacity】

【Industry layout】

……

Zhou Wang pasted dozens of draft papers filled with various titles on the whiteboard one by one.

Then he stood in front of the wall and fell into deep thought.

Last night, while standing on the terrace enjoying the breeze and looking down at the lights all over the city, Zhou Wang suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

The throbbing came out of nowhere, but it suddenly made Zhou Wang alert.

It is obvious that at this moment, he has already stood at the commanding heights of the Magic City. It has not even been half a year since he obtained the system, but he has already joined the club of billionaires, surrounded by beautiful women, and can be said to be very proud of himself.

But somehow, Zhou Wang suddenly felt a little uneasy.

At that moment, Zhou Wang stood on the terrace and looked back. Through the large French windows, Xiao Wang and Gao Xing were wandering around on the first and second floors respectively. It was unknown what they were doing. Miao Ying was quietly curled up on the sofa watching anime.

In the bedroom on the other side, Lin Ran was instructing Xu Wenxi to practice yoga. The two girls were playing and laughing, and one could vaguely hear them praising each other's bodies...

Obviously these scenes were so real, even within reach, but Zhou Wang suddenly felt that they were so far away from him.

So Zhou Wang put down the champagne in his hand and chose to go straight into the study, where he stayed all night.

It seems like it's time to have a clearer plan for my life.

It was after this review that Zhou Wang indeed discovered a number of potential problems.

For example, his industries may seem flourishing, but in reality they are scattered and unconnected. It can be said that there is almost no connection between them, and most of them are equity interests of enterprises that he has intervened in. He does not have an absolute say in the management of these enterprises...

For example, his foundation in interpersonal relationships is also very weak. Although he seems to have many "friends" along the way, the level is still a bit shallow. He mostly relies on friendships with his peers, and there is less support above that.

But obviously, he actually has a prosperous interpersonal foundation, such as Zhang Dashao's second uncle, Guo Bing's father, Shao Xiaoqi's mother, Xia Xiwei's elders, and even Ding Yi...

In short, the path Zhou Wang has taken during this period of time is more like an aimless and barbaric growth. Although it has grown, it is full of hidden dangers.

Even though he has only had the system for a short time, and even though he is bound to take many wrong paths due to his limited vision and cognition, this should not be a reason for him to allow himself to continue doing so.

After a night of summarizing and thinking, it was time to reap the rewards. Zhou Wang glanced at the sheets of draft paper, and finally took out a new piece of paper and wrote down two words.

"Industry" and "integration".

Just when a certain thought vaguely emerged in Zhou Wang's mind, the system prompt suddenly sounded.

……

Ding!
[Once you climb a mountain, you are higher than the other mountain]

[The host's mentality changes, his thinking leaps forward, and the fourth action round is successfully triggered]

……

Fourth action round?
Zhou Wang was a little surprised. He never expected that the fourth round would be triggered suddenly at this time. After all, the "draft round" known as a benefit had just ended not long ago. Zhou Wang thought he would have to wait for a while.

But Zhou Wang was relieved soon. There was no theorem for this kind of thing. He remembered that when he triggered the first action round, it was just because he suddenly had the idea of ​​"getting a haircut", which also happened in an instant.

But this time, before the specific tasks of the round were displayed, Zhou Wang suddenly received some unusual prompts, which looked more like system warnings. Ding!
[Please note that starting from this action round, a "failure penalty" mechanism will be introduced. When the action round fails, the host will receive a certain penalty.]

[The punishment may include "decline of wealth value", "extinction of interpersonal relationships", "decline of luck value" and many other aspects]

[If you fail to complete the corresponding action round before the round countdown ends, it will be considered a failure]

……

Penalty for failure?

Zhou Wang's expression became a little more serious.

He remembered that during the first three rounds of action, the system had never specifically reminded of the consequences of failure, and because Zhou Wang himself had never failed, he always thought that the system would only give benefits.

Now it seems that perhaps the first three action rounds are more like some kind of novice protection period?

……

Ding!
[Please use the limited start-up funds to try to establish a business yourself, and expand the capital by at least a hundred times]

[Using business registration as a node, when the round starts, the host will not be able to use the previously accumulated assets, and the system store and warehouse will also be disabled]

【Start-up capital: 10 yuan】

[Round countdown: 180 days]

[Core Reward Mechanism - Wealth Leverage: Depending on the degree of expansion of the principal, the host will leverage different levels of prize pool rewards]

[Depending on the score of the settlement, the possible rewards for this round are as follows:
1. Group construction gift package (beginner, intermediate or advanced) x
2. Several one-yuan industry purchase cards (primary, intermediate or advanced)

1. Random deadline halo (divine luck, peach luck, great luck, etc.) x
4. Several of Zilean's Time Gears (randomly numbered)
1. Drizzt's Gambler's Treasure Box (containing loaded dice, universal cards, etc.) x
6. Several random little character cards
seven,……】

……

When Zhou Wang glanced over the specific tasks of the fourth round of action, he took a deep breath.

Just give me 100,000 yuan and let me start a new business as an ordinary person, and make more than a hundred times the money?
One hundred times one hundred thousand is ten million...

The key point is that the deadline is only 180 days, which is exactly half a year.

Moreover, the system specifically stated that it could only be “real industry”, which meant that Zhou Wang was blocked from quickly expanding his capital through investment, stock speculation, etc.

Is this something that ordinary people can do?

Just as Zhou Wang was grinning, he couldn't help but brighten his eyes when he saw the prize pool arranged by the system in advance.

The entire reward may include dozens of rewards, and the key is that all of them are extremely attractive to Zhou Wang.

In particular, the "group construction gift package" was exactly what Zhou Wang needed at the moment, and it coincided with the plan he had made after a night of thinking.

This step is essential to becoming a real "big man".

The other rewards were also very eye-catching, whether it was the [Industry Acquisition Card] or the [Halo], they were all big bonuses that Zhou Wang had reaped before. In short, the standard of this prize pool was so high that it could be said to far exceed any previous action round.

Even the five wishing lamps in the third round combined are not even a fraction of this prize pool.

"So, does this mean that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish?"

Zhou Wang muttered, looking a little helpless.

After living a comfortable life for too long, Zhou Wang must be a little resistant to starting from scratch all over again.

But he didn't really have a choice.

Once the round is triggered, the countdown has begun. Instead of avoiding it blindly, it is better to adjust your mindset and face it positively.

And after Zhou Wang thought about it carefully, he realized that the situation was not that bad.

Although the various restrictions of the system have reduced him to his original form and he can no longer use his previous assets, and even the system is hidden, he is no longer the same person he used to be.

Whether in terms of mentality, cognition or vision, he has already surpassed the ordinary twenty-year-old young man.

Moreover, the system did not block his connections.

There is a lot to be done here.

The only thing he needs to worry about is that he only has a capital of 100,000 yuan, which means there is almost no room for error, so the choice of industry will become crucial.

"Half a year is not enough time, but there is no need to rush in the next few days. Let's think about it."

Zhou Wang rubbed his temple and stopped thinking temporarily.

……

"boss!"

When Zhou Wang walked out of the study and squinted his eyes to adapt to the daylight, Xu Wenxi, who had been paying attention to the movements here, looked up from the living room and exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Wang glanced down over the fence and saw that in addition to Xu Wenxi, there were three other women in the living room, Zhong Huilan, and Linlin's mother and daughter.

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had asked Xu Wenxi to pick them up. He walked down the stairs, took the honey water of moderate temperature handed to him by Xu Wenxi, sipped it, and waved his hand to signal the women to sit down.

Only Lin Ran sat down, while Linlin and her daughter were still standing awkwardly. Linlin was fine, after all, she had already come into contact with Zhou Wang twice. At this moment, Zhao Yu held her in one hand, and she looked at Zhou Wang with her black eyes blinking, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

But it was the first time that Zhao Yu met Zhou Wang after he woke up.

Looking at Sister Xiaoyu in front of him, Zhou Wang also felt a little emotional.

In my memory, Sister Xiaoyu had a smiling oval face. She always tied her hair to one side and squatted by the river to wash clothes. When Zhou Wang passed by, she warmly invited him to her home for dinner.

What impressed Zhou Wang the most during his teenage years was not her smile, but her jeans that were so tight that they seemed to burst at any time, and the dazzling moonlight that leaked from her collar when she bent over...

As for now, Zhou Wang glanced at Sister Xiaoyu, who lowered her head slightly and didn't even dare to look into his eyes... Well, her figure was hidden by the loose hospital gown, so not much could be seen, but her cheeks were obviously a little haggard.

But he looks much better than when he was in the village. Maybe it's because his skin has become much whiter during the more than a month he spent in bed?

"boss……"

When Zhou Wang was distracted, Xu Wenxi beside him couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

Mainly from her perspective, she could see that because Zhou Wang hadn't said anything and just kept looking at her, Zhao Yu was already very nervous, and Xu Wenxi felt a little bit sorry for him.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoyu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Seeing you reminded me of a lot of things in the past, so I was distracted for a moment..."

Zhou Wang came back to his senses and explained with a smile.

Zhao Yu relaxed a little after hearing Zhou Wang speak, but he still didn't know how to respond, so he grabbed the corner of his clothes and nodded slightly, "Boss Zhou... Boss Zhou, thank you, thank you for saving me..."

Zhou Wang knew that she was still nervous, so he didn't rush to get closer. He just said casually:

"Sister Xiaoyu, you and Linlin can stay here peacefully from now on. I've asked Wenxi to clean up the room for you."

"Ah, this...how can this be possible!"

Just as Zhou Wang expected, Zhao Yu quickly shook his head and refused helplessly.
