I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

The lively and festive Spring Festival of 92 quickly came to an end.

After appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Youyi flew directly back to Hong Kong, where she needed to reunite with her mother and grandmother.

From January 19th to February 1st before the Lunar New Year, stock subscription certificates were officially issued in Shanghai.

This is the legendary "92 Fortune Certificate".

Due to expectations of new share issuance, black market prices skyrocketed, creating a large number of people with tens of thousands of yuan in assets, which is why it was later called a "wealth certificate".

These things cost 30 yuan each, and in this day and age, there aren't many people willing to pay that much for them.

Ordinary people are unlikely to participate, nor do they have the money to do so.

Yan Jiefang had read a very popular online novel before, in which he came across this incident and had some understanding of it.

If he were as broke as the main character, he would definitely go in and make a quick buck.

But if he were to do this now, wouldn't it be like Thanos beating Spider-Man, bullying a child?

The plan in Shanghai was to release 1000 million copies, with a total selling price of only 3 million yuan. (Only about 207 million copies were sold.)

His company's liquid funds are close to 10 billion.

If he continues down this path, he might end up becoming a major shareholder in many listed companies.

That would definitely attract the attention of people all over the country, which would be pointless.

Most importantly, he simply didn't need to make himself that high-profile.

His company, which sells computer systems and manufactures chips, is currently doing relatively well domestically.

Of course, it wasn't without its impact.

Microsoft launched Windows 3.0 as early as mid-90.

For the past few years, they have been working hard to imitate his system interface.

The current version is Windows 3.1, and some features are starting to resemble its original system version.

We shouldn't underestimate these foreigners.

On the other hand, more powerful 486 computers are also gradually becoming available.

However, this type of computer is extremely expensive; even the lowest configuration (1MB RAM + 40MB hard drive) costs over 5 yuan.

This is still the assembly price in Huaqiangbei.

Great Wall Motors is even quoting 9 yuan per unit! (For corporate clients)

The mainstream standard configuration is usually: 486SX-33 / 486DX-25, 4MB of RAM, 80MB of hard drive, and a 14-inch VGA color monitor.

The price is naturally higher; even the cheapest assembled goods from Huaqiangbei cost close to or over 7 yuan!

If it's a Great Wall or a foreign-owned vehicle, it will generally cost around 10!

Keep in mind, this was 10 in 1991-1992!

Relatively speaking, his system only costs one thousand yuan, which is incredibly kind.

With the support of his advanced system, Great Wall's shipments have been rising rapidly year by year, from less than 20,000 units assembled per year at the beginning to more than 200,000 now, and are moving toward 300,000.

This state-owned assembly plant is really bloated with greed.

The country generates hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange every year, which has indeed provided a strong impetus for the country's development.

Of course, Yan Jiefang also made a little money in the process.

This small amount of money is insignificant compared to the real big money.

In addition to the company's own chip exports and domestic sales, the company currently has two cash cows.

As for the company's labor costs and other costs combined, they are nothing compared to these two cash cows.

Yan Jiefang remained completely unconcerned and utterly calm as he watched the company's deposits grow larger and larger.

The Hong Kong SAR government, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly greedy for this money and is almost unable to suppress it.

During the Spring Festival, the second-in-command of the special economic zone even made a special phone call to extend his greetings and subtly inquired whether he had any plans to take over some other projects.

Yan Jiefang said he would go there to investigate at the beginning of the year.

...

At his level, making money is secondary.

His primary goal is still to improve his cultivation level and to create something special and useful.

For example, a critical hit might summon a flying sword.

[You have successfully landed a super critical hit on Chun Jun Sword. Please select from the following options.]

11,000 Chun Jun swords

[2. 1 Swords of Goujian, King of Yue] (The world's number one sword in reality, a bronze sword from the late Spring and Autumn Period of the Yue Kingdom, with the inscription in bird-and-insect script on the blade: "King Goujian of Yue made this sword for himself.")

【3. 1 Cicada Wings】(The blade is as thin as a cicada wing membrane, and the whole body is light and translucent amber in color. The surface of the blade is covered with fine natural textures like insect wings, and is almost translucent.)

The sword is slender and long, without a thick spine, and the hilt is wrapped with silkworm silk, making it as light as a feather.

Legend has it that it was refined from the molted form of a golden cicada, and it is adept at penetrating mist and restrictions, making it ideal for surprise attacks and stealth.

Note: This is a common, basic flying sword artifact found in the cultivation world, suitable for ordinary Qi Refining disciples.

【4. Ten Illusory Moons】(The sword body is as white as cold jade, and the blade is in a soft arc shape, resembling a crescent moon.)

Faint silver-gray cloud patterns appeared on the sword's blade, shimmering with a dark light; the hilt was carved with a moon wheel pattern, and a tiny moonstone crystal hung from the end of the sword.

The sword's appearance differs slightly between day and night, becoming even more luminous at night.

Note: This is a high-level flying sword artifact commonly found in the cultivation world, suitable for use by advanced Qi Refining disciples.

【5. Rift Wind】(The sword is strong and narrow, with a sharp blade. The blade is dark blue-iron in color and the surface is covered with wind-eroded grooves. There are two thin wing-like sharp edges at the end of the sword.)

Made of hard and sharp material, it generates a gust of wind when used, cutting through the air silently. It excels at long-range attacks and swift, air-piercing slashes, breaking through defenses with speed.

Note: This is a relatively rare, beginner-level flying sword artifact in the cultivation world, suitable for disciples in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. If you have 6, 36, or 72 swords, you can combine them into a sword formation, greatly increasing their power!

Yan Jiefang read through all the content from top to bottom, and in the end, he naturally chose the Rift Wind, a spirit-grade flying sword.

[You have successfully selected a Rending Wind weapon, which has been added to your personal space. Please check it out.]

He took the flying sword out of his spatial storage.

This is a sword without a scabbard, and its shape is exactly the same as described in the system. It looks rather long and sharp.

Although this flying sword wasn't quite a perfect match for his "White Sun Flying Sword Technique," it was more than enough.

In the early stages, you can take this flying sword to a more private courtyard to practice.

Later on, I naturally went to practice in remote mountains and forests or on islands where few people go.

Once he learns the flying sword skill, he will also have the ability to fight and make long-distance raids.
