Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Zhou Feng lay on the bed playing on his phone for a while, when he suddenly remembered the power plant.

Zhou Feng sat bolt upright in bed and calculated the price of a coal-fired power plant using the method he had previously used.

According to his previous estimate, it would cost around $4500 million to build this power plant…

He didn't even dare to tell Bai Ling this number. He looked it up online and found that this number was already half of the total foreign exchange reserves of the entire Dragon Kingdom in this era!

Even if a coal-fired power plant is very important, no one dares to make the decision to spend such a large sum of money to buy one.

But that's precisely the point of Zhou Feng making his presence felt!

His ultimate goal is to act as a broker between these two worlds by exploiting information and resource gaps!

Zhou Feng continued playing his game until Bai Ling returned in the evening, at which point he sat up in bed.

What are you doing there?

Bai Ling looked at Zhou Feng lying on the bed with some curiosity. If she wasn't mistaken, the small box in his hand seemed to be glowing!

"I didn't do anything!"

Zhou Feng hesitated for a moment, but still didn't hand his phone to Bai Ling.

The other party at least works in Beiping. It's easy to explain what I took back before, but cell phones are a bit too far removed from this era!

Even he himself didn't know how to explain it clearly when he took it out!

After putting his phone away, Zhou Feng sat on the edge of the bed, patted the spot next to him, and gestured for Bai Ling to come over.

The latter blushed and glared at him, annoyed: "If you have something to say, just say it over there. Why do you have to be so close!"

"Comrade Bai Ling!"

Zhou Feng suppressed his laughter and tried to make his tone more formal.

"I have something very important to tell you! It concerns America's advanced technology. If this succeeds, our development will be accelerated by at least ten years. Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course, tell me quickly!"

Bai Ling's attention was immediately drawn to it, and she even forgot about cooking.

However, Zhou Feng shook his head and patted the spot next to him again.

"If you stand over there, I can't remember you. You'd better come over here!"

It has to be said that, having previously mentioned to Sun Yue that Bai Ling was transferred here specifically to communicate with him, Zhou Feng is now able to use these "American technology" to seduce Bai Ling.

"Fine, fine, I'll come over, okay? If you dare lie to me, you're dead!"

Bai Ling gritted her teeth and sat down next to him, with only an arm's length between them. Zhou Feng instinctively sniffed and smelled the scent of soap.

Bai Ling, standing beside him, immediately blushed and her breathing became rapid: "Are you going to talk or not? If you don't, I'll really hit you!"

"Tell me! I'll tell you right now, hehehe!"

Zhou Feng didn't dare to tease her too much, after all, she still had the "Equalizer of All Beings" pinned to her lower back!

"Do you know why America's industry is so much more advanced than ours?"

Why?

Hearing Zhou Feng still keeping her in suspense, Bai Ling gave him a curt reply.

"Because they have advanced power plants! The more sophisticated the machine, the higher its power requirements, so... I can get my hands on the latest small-scale power plants from the US, what do you think?"

"A power plant?"

Bai Ling was stunned. Although she didn't do scientific research, she knew that a power plant was definitely not a small thing!

Is this guy really that capable now?

They can even bring over a power plant?

Seeing Bai Ling's expression, Zhou Feng thought she didn't believe him, so he patted his chest and assured her.

"Others may not know, but don't you know me? If I say I can get it, I definitely can. Don't worry!"

Bai Ling's lips twitched slightly as she glanced sideways at Zhou Feng.

"Then tell me, how much would it cost to bring back a power plant?"

"Not much, normally it would be around forty-five million US dollars."

The room fell silent for over a minute. Bai Ling didn't make a sound until Zhou Feng couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand in front of her eyes with a dry laugh. Only then did Bai Ling come back to her senses.

"How much did you just say?"

"Forty-five million US dollars?"

Bai Ling felt like her face was about to cramp up from trying to control her expression.

That's forty-five million US dollars, not forty-five hundred dollars!

The machine that cost over $60,000 was already outrageous enough, and Director Sun was still thinking about what he could give Zhou Feng in return!

Forget about it now. Even if they sold their entire Special Operations Unit, they couldn't afford that $45 million!

"This...this is way too much!"

Seeing the troubled look on Bai Ling's face, Zhou Feng patted her shoulder speechlessly.

"It's not like you have to pay anything, so why are you having trouble? I'm here! I'll ask the Americans what they need, and we can always barter!"

"Besides, I will definitely bring back more machinery and equipment in the future. Without such a power station, even if I bring it back for you, you won't be able to use it!"

"You should still report this to Director Sun. You definitely can't make this decision on your own."

Listening to Zhou Feng's words, Bai Ling even ignored the fact that he had somehow taken her hand and nodded somewhat blankly.

This amount of money, let alone her, even Director Sun would have to report it to his superiors.

Despite having such a heavy burden on her mind, Bai Ling still obediently cooked for Zhou Feng, cleaned up the dishes, closed the door, and headed straight for the Special Operations Division.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at that! Comrade Bai Ling is so busy, yet she still has to cook for Zhou Fenghui. That tells you how high her status is in the family!"

"Absolutely... Even the leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau can't control him. I don't know what Xu Damao was thinking, daring to report such a high-ranking leader!"

"But why is this leader starting to live in our compound?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I'm not like the Jia family or Uncle Yi's family. We haven't offended them. Even if we don't need their connections, we're not worth them getting our hands on!"

A group of middle-aged women were chatting away, completely ignoring Yi Zhonghai's ashen face as he passed by.

Two middle-aged women even pursed their lips at his retreating figure, looking disdainful.

He's supposed to be an old man. If he messes with Zhou Feng again, he might end up in jail like Xu Damao. Then we'll see who's in charge.

Zhou Feng had no idea that Xu Damao's report had actually established his public image within the courtyard!

Fortunately, the double-passage door has now been upgraded to 1,000 cubic meters; otherwise, it would be much more difficult to find someone to boost emotional value than before.
