Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1324 Circles

Xiao Wei smiled and shook his head: "There's no comparison. The social conditions back then were different from now. All I can say is that the country is truly prosperous and strong now, the economy has indeed developed, and there are more and more opportunities."

Zhang Wu sighed a few times and said to Liu Jiaming, "Military Advisor Liu, how's the money arrangement going? Want me to come along?"

Liu Jiaming smiled, glanced at Xiao Wei, and said, "That's about enough. The older brothers have all given us face and are willing to go along with our antics. We've already raised over eight thousand."

Wang Lihua said to Xiaowei, "We couldn't raise the money ourselves, and our families wouldn't support us taking out a loan. So Jiaming asked his older brothers and sisters in Beijing to raise the money. Some of it was borrowed, and some of it was put as shares in our travel company."

Xiao Wei nodded and looked at Liu Jiaming. This kid was indeed smart and had a lot of ideas.

It's a win-win-win situation. It solves the funding problem, gathers a group of people to form a small circle, and as income increases, this circle will become truly stable. Moreover, this small circle will indirectly influence many aspects, even the older generation. Either way, it's a sure win.

Zhang Wu said, "How much more is needed? The three of us can add it. I'm quite interested in your club."

Liu Jiaming said, "Alright, since you think so highly of us, Fifth Brother, we have no choice but to accept it."

Wang Lihua glanced at Xiao Wei, who smiled and said, "Let's each do our own thing. You do yours, we'll do ours, it won't affect anything."

Zhang Wu said, "It's all fate. We're all family now, so don't be so formal. This club is for you guys to enjoy. We, along with Xiao Wei and Xiao Hui, are members. We're just here to give you some support. If you need any help, just let us know." He said this to Liu Jiaming.

Liu Jiaming visibly relaxed. To be honest, in terms of money, they were inferior to Xiao Wei's group, and in terms of qualifications and status, they were far inferior to Zhang Wu. He was genuinely worried if they joined the club. This was also the reason why they hadn't invited Xiao Wei and his group.

Xiao Wei said, "I really didn't know you guys started a club? Good idea. Okay, let's do as Fifth Brother says, at least we'll be organized now."

Liu Jiaming chuckled awkwardly: "It's not that Gu Yi intended to keep it from you. She was planning to tell you after everything was finished, but right now it's just a prototype."

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "This is originally your own business. Xiao Hui and I are outsiders, but we're also partners, so of course we want you to be happy. Don't worry. By the way, has your travel company started operating yet?"

Liu Jiaming said, "Preparations have begun. As for the initial locations, we plan to establish them in seven places: Beijing, Tianjing, Fengtian, Guangzhou, Sichuan, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Shanghai. We will gradually expand from there. Anyway, there is enough time; we can handle anything."

Xiao Wei said, "Why don't you guys set one up in Chagan, or Xingcheng? There are a lot of tourism resources there, but they haven't been developed much."

Liu Jiaming turned his head and looked over: "What resources? I haven't heard anything about it. You mean the shooting range?"

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "That counts as part of it. Shooting can attract quite a few people. There are many wetlands there, and lots of cranes and such. Also, we're planning to build a large ranch there, with cattle, horses, sheep, yurts, and grasslands, which should be quite attractive."

Chen Hui gestured a few times: "Go from north to south, and from south to north. If you connect everything, your travel company will come alive."

Liu Jiaming thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. It does have some potential. How big are you planning to make the ranch?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's still being calculated, but this project is set in stone. It will definitely be launched, and the scale won't be small. It's certain to cover at least several square kilometers."

Chen Hui said, "We'll start by raising grass, then introduce cattle, horses, and sheep. The timing should be roughly the same as in Hainan, which is perfect."

Liu Jiaming clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with a smile, "Thank you, brothers, for taking care of me."

Zhang Wu said, "It feels like it could be pretty good. Xiao Wei, you guys are really generous, not using such good resources on yourselves."

Xiao Wei said, "We only focus on projects, and we do our best to make them successful and large-scale. That's the foundation. Nobody can eat all the food on their plate, right? We don't have enough energy either. It's good that our friends and buddies can all make a little money together."

Zhang Wu scratched his head: "Now is a good time, both economically and politically. It's the right way to do things properly and start a company. In the future, there will be less and less room for those who mess around."

This incident has had a significant impact in Kyoto this month, and Li Hua is aware of it.

Wang Lihua nodded: "My dad hasn't been sleeping well lately, he's been very strict with me, but he's quite happy about starting this company."

Zhang Wu said, "The Anti-Corruption Bureau will be officially established next month, or the month after next. This is the fastest and most decisive time our country has ever established a national-level department. You can imagine how things will change in the future."

Xiao Wei said, "It really is time to take some action. Look at the state-owned enterprise reforms these days."

Wang Lihua said, "It's not just this; that's just a small part. The real issue now is corruption, which is all about money."

Liu Jiaming asked Xiaowei, "Xiaowei, do you think it's feasible to develop Phoenix Mountain in Wuchang into a tourist attraction and create a tour route?"

Xiao Wei asked, "The alien one?"

Liu Jiaming nodded, and Xiao Wei thought for a moment and shook his head: "No chance. You see, this kind of thing will fall apart in a few days. Both the national and local governments have to suppress it, and in reality, what's the point of sending anyone to investigate?"

Zhang Wu said, "Unless you spend money to build a spaceship and put it there, that's unlikely to work. It'll be novel for a few days, but it can't actually fly. That thing is supposed to be over 150 meters tall. Besides, where are you going to get a three-meter-tall person to go? It's really hopeless."

Chen Hui said, "This matter doesn't have as much impact as Zhang Zhicheng's in Guangzhou. Everyone is definitely interested, but no one would spend money to participate."

Huaiyuan said, "This Zhang Zhicheng is indeed a ruthless person. He can no longer be called human; he's vicious."

Changqing said, "Didn't they say he was working on a construction site and was being bullied by the foreman? That's why he decided to quit."

Zhang Wu said, "What bullying? They're just jealous. They see others driving fancy cars, wearing beautiful women, and adorned with gold and silver every day, and their eyes turn red with envy. They have no ability to make money, no skills whatsoever, yet they're jealous of others making money. They're just a bunch of pathological people. The sooner these kinds of people die, the better."

Chen Hui said, "By the way, Fifth Brother, we are a foreign company. These collaborations of ours won't have any other impact on you, right?"

Zhang Wu shook his head: "No. Foreign investment is fine. There's a joint venture craze everywhere these days, with companies begging foreigners to take shares and acquire them. Isn't that perfect?"

Xiao Wei said, "We're planning to acquire some suitable factories, but we only want the people, not the factories. Fifth Brother, do you think that's feasible?"
