Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely.

Jimmy hesitated, "Do we really want to establish our base in Fujian? According to you, war will break out in a decade or so, and Fujian, being a coastal country, will inevitably become a frontline battlefield."

"We may lose all of our investments."

Huang Yu said, "That's not how you calculate it. We do need a base, and Fujian is a ready-made option."

“We don’t need to put all our funds into Fujian, but we must manage it. Remember Dongning Island that I mentioned before?”

"That is our true goal!"

Huang Yu solemnly said, "Merchants seek profit, they are greedy and only care about profit!"

"But even if we're greedy, we'll become incredibly greedy!"

"Seeking personal and family benefits is good, but not enough."

"Only when it benefits the country and the nation, does it truly have any merit!"

"Jimmy, do you really think you can develop Huateng Group into a world-class organization without the support of a powerful nation and people?"

Jimmy remained silent for a long time, then shook his head: "It's difficult. The only way is to start from the direction of control behind the scenes, but that's not what I want, like a rat in a gutter."

Huang Yu said, "That's right. On the surface, it's a commercial dispute, but in reality, it's a dispute between nations and a contest of national power."

Jimmy cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Master, I understand."

Chapter 194 Planning of the Seven Small Industries

"However, what you said is not without merit."

"The coastal areas of Fujian are indeed dangerous, although these dangers will not arrive for more than a decade, but we must prepare for them in advance."

Huang Yu tapped the table lightly with his finger, took out a map of Fujian, and began to examine it carefully.

"In this way, coastal cities like Xiamen and Fuzhou will continue to develop, but mountainous areas will also need to develop to lay the foundation for future retreat."

"Based on the inland mountainous areas such as Yong'an, Nanping, Jian'ou, and Changting, we will build defense lines and base areas, and first develop some simple light industries according to local conditions."

Jimmy stepped forward, glanced at the site, and said, "These areas are rich in forestry resources, so they could be used to develop chemical industries such as papermaking."

"Furthermore, these areas have many streams and rivers, which can be used to build small hydroelectric power plants to provide power."

"It's a pity that no minerals were found, otherwise we could have put some factories there."

Huang Yu frowned and said, "Didn't you find anything? That's impossible. Even if something is scarce, it should still be distributed to some extent."

Huang Yu suddenly remembered that he also had a profession as a tomb raider, and his talent was [locating the burial site].

The method of "finding the burial site by dividing the land into gold and locating the burial site" can determine the feng shui pattern of a place by analyzing the terrain, celestial phenomena, and airflow, thus making it easier to find the location of the burial site.

Of course, finding tombs is just a minor skill; the real purpose is to find ley lines and discover mineral deposits.

Huang Yu said, "You first assemble an exploration team and go to various mountainous areas to conduct surveys. After a while, when I have time, I will also go and take a look."

Jimmy noted it down: "Understood. I will hire some scholars and craftsmen to do my best to explore the mineral deposits."

At this point, Jimmy hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Master, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it."

Huang Yu asked curiously, "What suggestion do you have? Please speak freely."

Jimmy walked to the wall and pointed to the southwest corner of the map of China hanging on the wall.

"I think Fujian needs to be developed, but if we really want to unleash the full potential of its capital and industry, we should find another base."

"This base must be located in the rear area, with abundant mineral resources, food, and human resources, so as to support industrial construction."

Huang Yu raised an eyebrow: "You mean, Sichuan?"

Jimmy nodded: "That's right. Sichuan has been known as the Land of Abundance since ancient times. It is not only rich in resources, but also has mountains as a barrier, making it a perfect strategic rear area!"

Huang Yu couldn't help but clap his hands: "Brilliant! Jimmy, I didn't expect you to think of this. You're already a qualified corrupt official."

"Since you have your own ideas, then do them according to your own ideas. Of course, we can't give up on Fujian."

Jimmy said, "I understand, I know what's important."

Immediately, he scratched his head and said, "However, Master, we may still need your help to establish ourselves in Fujian."

Huang Yu said irritably, "What, you guys aren't capable?"

Jimmy flattered, "Master, Sichuan is a much more complicated place than Fujian. Various warlords are fighting each other and all want to become the King of Sichuan."

"Each warlord appointed officials within their own defense zones to embezzle tax revenue and levy taxes privately, and the tax burden had already reached 2010..."

"The Presidential Palace's orders have long since ceased to extend beyond the provincial capital, and Chengdu, the provincial capital, is now simultaneously controlled by three warlords!"

"If we operate according to normal business logic, we will be completely exploited and left with nothing."

Jimmy still felt lingering fear as he spoke: "In this kind of environment, without the protection of military force, there's no way to develop anything."

Huang Yu understood. This was an attempt to conquer another territory. Even if they didn't want to control the entire province like Hu Jian, they at least wanted to establish an army and take over a town.

Otherwise, all investments will only become food for others to eat, leaving us at their mercy.

Forget about development, just surviving is a blessing.

Well, that's perfect. I'm planning to visit Sichuan soon anyway, so I'll just take care of this while I'm at it.

The Tang Clan, Huode Sect, Qingcheng Mountain, and Gelaohui are all located in Sichuan. We will visit them together.

Especially the Tang Clan; Tang Jiaren even invited him to exchange assassination techniques.

Huang Yu laughed and said, "You were well-prepared, weren't you? You found out so much beforehand. You've been wanting to develop your business in the Sichuan area for a long time, haven't you?"

Jimmy nodded and said, "You told me before that if you put information and intelligence first, money will come rolling in."

"After establishing Huateng Group, I also took this sentence as my core principle and attached great importance to intelligence gathering."

"Although Fujian is not as prosperous as Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Beijing, it is still a major trading hub where merchants from all over the world gather. Naturally, I can gather intelligence from all over the world here."

"Of course, Senior Brother Yan's intelligence bureau also provided me with a lot of intelligence."

Huang Yu said, "Very good, well done."

"Here's what we'll do: you send someone to Sichuan to get a feel for the situation and lay the groundwork. When I have some free time in a while, I'll take some people to Sichuan to remove any obstacles."

Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He was afraid that his master would disagree with his opinion, which would make many things difficult.

Fortunately, his master was still the same master he knew. As long as the reasons were sufficient, his master would support his disciples.

"By the way, Master, do you have any guidance on industrial development?"

Jimmy asked, “I have consulted many scholars, craftsmen and even businessmen, but in my opinion, their ideas on industrial development are simply naive, and they have not thought things through.”

"They just blindly import equipment without considering the upstream and downstream situation, or how to build the supporting infrastructure..."

Huang Yu understood that at this time, the whole country had only recently cut off their queues, and there had been years of war, so very few talents had been cultivated, especially in science and engineering.

Even Xiamen University was only established four years ago by Mr. Chen, a patriotic overseas Chinese.

Huang Yu's Spark Academy has only just gotten on track. It has science and engineering talents, but it is still developing. It is really difficult for them to plan a complete industrial system.

Huang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll give you an overall plan, and you and your team will refine the specific details."

"Focus on small-scale industries, don't pursue large-scale operations, just focus on having them first."

Jimmy asked疑惑地问道, "What is small-scale industry?"

Huang Yu explained, "That's a concept I defined myself. It refers to industrial units with relatively small production scale, number of employees, and total capital, in contrast to large factories abroad."

"After all, given our country's conditions, we don't have the strength to develop any large-scale industries."

"Small-scale industry is the limit for us at this stage."

"We will start with these seven small industries: small hydropower, small steel, small coal, small machinery, small cement, small chemical industry, and small fertilizer... and build our industrial system step by step."

"Electricity should come first, with small-scale hydropower as the main source, to build a primary power grid and solve the power source problem for small industries."

"Then coal and iron started, blast furnaces were introduced, and the first batch of small steel and coal companies were formed."

"With steel and electricity, we can pave the way for small machinery, purchase machine tools, and solve the problem of military production first!"

"We don't need to manufacture airplanes or tanks. As long as we can produce rifles, pistols, grenades, and mortars, that will be a victory."

Chapter 195 Teleportation Artifact, Everyone Wants to Go to Germany

Upon hearing this, Jimmy suddenly understood and gained a clearer understanding of the upcoming industrial planning.

"I see, now I understand."

"With these seven small industries, we have basically built a complete industrial system that is self-sufficient and can also support agriculture."

Huang Yu said, "That's right, that's my idea: self-sufficiency, first ensure we have enough."

"Although the small industries I mentioned are not high-tech, they are precisely what we lack most."

“They require little investment and yield quick results. As long as they rely on local mineral, agricultural, forestry and water resources, they can be put into production quickly with simple equipment, which is just right for our situation.”

Jimmy's eyes lit up as he memorized everything Huang Yu said.

These things seem simple, but it's hard for someone who hasn't experienced a fully industrialized society to even think of them.

The small-scale industrial system is the culmination of the wisdom of countless workers and experts in Huang Yu's previous life, and it is a path that has been proven in practice.

Against the backdrop of military intimidation by major powers, it has become a solid support for national defense.

Jimmy said, "Master, I've remembered everything you said. I'll discuss it with my staff later and refine the plan. I'll submit a complete report to you in a couple of days."

Huang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy."

And so, Huang Yu's men quickly got to work, gathering all sorts of information for Huang Yu's trip to Germany and coming up with the most suitable negotiation plan.

Huang Yu wasn't idle either; he was busy refining magical artifacts.

A magical artifact for escaping!

Whether we're going to someone else's territory or not, it's best to be cautious and find a way to escape quickly first.

Huang Yu has absolute confidence in his own strength; even on a global scale, he is at the very top level.

However, there's no guarantee that the enemy won't use some strange or unpredictable methods to undermine him, or perhaps gather hundreds or thousands of powerful individuals to besiege him...

Huang Yu himself wasn't afraid, but this time he wasn't going abroad alone; Jimmy was bringing a few people with him for business negotiations.

These are the people Huang Yu is considering protecting.
