Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

To put it bluntly, the relationship between Lin Yuxia and me is just that of investor and investee, not even cooperation. It's just that Lin Yuxia invested in me unconditionally.

Lu Yuan drove from the edge of the main urban area to the upper urban area.

As soon as he crossed the Longmen Bridge between the upper urban area and the main urban area, and looked at the surging artificial lake below, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh that if such technology were used in the previous life, it would be a miracle in the history of human industry.

Uptown is pretty busy.

Tall buildings stand tall, and rows of steel giants are rooted in the ground with their backs straightened. Each of them wants to insert its "head" deeply into the clouds and try to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Because of the evening.

There is a lot of traffic on the main road in the upper city, and both sides are full of urban beauties strolling around, as well as ordinary families from the main city who come here for shopping, and fashion trendsetters dressed in avant-garde clothes.

There is everything here, but there are no beggars.

It was only less than an hour of driving, but Lu Yuan seemed to have crossed time and space and arrived in two different worlds.

Lu Yuan did not stay for too long. Despite the busy traffic, he still arrived at the restaurant on time.

As soon as I got out of the car and walked into the restaurant, I heard the beautiful waiter at the door ask respectfully.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lu Yuan?"

"Yes."

"Miss Lin is already waiting for you in the private room. Please follow me."

"Thank you."

The restaurant is elegant, revealing the cultural landscape of the old Victorian era everywhere, with tables and chairs with classical patterns, as well as elegant music, the aroma of delicious dishes and many "elegant" diners sitting on the first floor.

Led by the waiter, Lu Yuan arrived at the private room.

When I opened the door, I saw Lin Yuxia, dressed in a professional outfit like a strong woman, sitting on the side of a small round table. Her light pink hair casually fell on her cheeks, blending with her fair skin, looking so beautiful.

She was holding a tablet and seemed to be working. After hearing Lu Yuan coming, she put away the tablet, stood up immediately, and invited Lu Yuan to sit down with a smile.

As soon as they sat down, they didn't talk about work right away, but talked about something else. They ate and talked with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, waiting for the dishes to be served.

Only after all the dishes were served and all the waiters had left did Lin Yuxia start talking about business with Lu Yuan.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I actually anticipated that you might ask me about this issue in the future."

After hearing Lu Yuan's talk about what kind of work the poor people in the slums should do, he smiled, put down his knife and fork, and supported his chin with both hands.

"It just happened sooner and faster than I expected."

"Actually, I didn't express my thoughts when we first met. Mainly because I didn't want to dampen your enthusiasm. Simply wanting to sell crops cheaply to feed everyone might work in a small neighborhood, but when the area gets bigger, it's obviously impossible."

"After all, with such a large area, the food needed every day is enormous, and the price you're selling is a 100% loss. No one in this world can afford such a loss."

"On the other hand, there is also human nature. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Everyone has their own little thoughts. This is even more obvious in the slums. Even if some people want to live a stable life and be content with the status quo, there are still some people who don't want the slums to be stable."

"The other issue is offending the grain merchants. Whether it's Longmen or any other country, the capital that can be responsible for grain is not ordinary capital."

"In the final analysis, when you embark on this path, your future is destined to be full of thorns, unless your personal military power is strong enough to suppress all voices of dissatisfaction and carve out your own rules in this world."

Lin Yuxia spoke slowly.

She listed almost all the disadvantages and difficulties.

Of course, there is also an element of deliberate dissuasion in this.

The waters here are too deep. Even though Lu Yuan has many secrets and is quite powerful, he still can't wade through this water.

If Lu Yuan shows hesitation or fear, Lin Yuxia will stop investing in Lu Yuan in the future.

However, Lin Yuxia guessed wrong.

After explaining the great dangers and even the life-threatening situation, Lu Yuan's eyes remained calm, without any extra ripples, as if he was listening to a story that had nothing to do with him.

"I knew how dangerous the future would be, Ms. Lin. That's why I came to consult you."

"For now, I want to start with Block 79, freeing everyone in that small neighborhood from hunger, and then expand to a wider area. If I can't even solve the crisis in a small neighborhood, then how can I dream of something so big? What do you think?"

Lu Yuan said.

"Good decision."

Lin Yuxia nodded in affirmation, and she crossed her legs again.

"Do you have any chance of getting more capital companies to settle in the slums, or even setting up factories in the slums to create jobs?"

Lin Yuxia shook her head.

"There's no way... I've tried this before, but it's impossible to operate normally. If we bypass the underworld forces, then the factory will not be able to operate normally. But if we don't bypass them, the factory will encounter various problems every now and then."

"So now, investors are not willing to set up factories in slums at all. They are only willing to outsource some simple jobs to them, and this is under the circumstances where I negotiate."

This method was rejected in Lu Yuan's mind. In fact, even without Lin Yuxia's explanation, Lu Yuan could have guessed it.

"So...if I..."

Lu Yuan said slowly.

Lin Yuxia leaned forward and listened attentively.

"What if I open a factory in Block 79 and let some people from the block work there? I have fields with high-quality raw materials, and these secondary processed products can be sold in the main city."

"As for the underworld forces inside, that doesn't matter. Right now, the Greedy Wolf Gang in Block 79 and the Iron Blood Gang in several surrounding blocks all listen to me."

Lin Yuxia hadn't reacted yet and was stunned after hearing it.

"???"

"Uh huh huh??"

After Lin Yuxia leased 300 acres of land from Lu Yuan, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she asked the men who were responsible for observing Lu Yuan to withdraw.

So she had no idea what Lu Yuan had been doing during this period.

"You? You conquered two gangs?"

"Is such that."

Lin Yuxia knew that Lu Yuan was very powerful, but she had never seen him in person. Moreover, Lin Yuxia was very clear about the nature of the slum underworld forces. How could he be so easily...

If it were so easy to subdue them, his father, the Rat King, would have completely renovated the slums long ago.

"how did you do that?"

"Through some reasonable means."

Lu Yuan clapped his hands and then spread them out.

Lin Yuxia couldn't help but rub her eyebrows.

Actually, the method Lu Yuan mentioned was similar to the one she had thought of before, except that Lu Yuan had unique advantages, and... the underworld in the neighborhood listened to him...

and many more...

Just because I can’t do it doesn’t mean Lu Yuan can’t do it.

Why not let Lu Yuan try it?

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Lin Yuxia's eyes, and she became more interested in Lu Yuan.

"I don't know whether it will succeed or not. You won't know until you try. Just go ahead and do it your own way. I will provide you with the corresponding business knowledge and sales channels. However, whether it is feasible or not depends on you."

"Thank you, Miss Lin."

This is the purpose of Lu Yuan's trip. After all, he has ideas, but has never really been exposed to the field of "business". It would be quite helpful to have a professional to teach him.

"By the way, I recently heard that Longmen will soon be reclaiming a large area of wasteland for farmland, and will also be connecting a farming area outside the mobile city."

"Do you still need arable land? If so, I'll reserve a piece of it in advance as an investment. This kind of arable land is basically impossible to obtain through conventional bidding methods."

Lin Yuxia originally thought that Lu Yuan would nod happily, but at this moment, she saw some embarrassment and entanglement on Lu Yuan's face.

"Um... Miss Lin, I don't need the newly opened farmland for the time being."

"why?"

"Because... Senior Superintendent Shi Huaiya of the Imperial Guard Bureau said before..."

Lin Yuxia was stunned.

Of course she knew that Shi Huaiya and Lu Yuan had a good relationship, but she didn't expect it to be so good.

soon.

Lin Yuxia looked at Lu Yuan with a strange look in her eyes.

He won't...

Although Lin Yuxia was unhappy with Shi Huaiya, it was only in front of Shi Huaiya and she would not deliberately show it in front of outsiders.

"Officer Shi Huaiya is a senior officer after all, so she's more convenient in this regard. Since you want to set up a factory, you must have insufficient funds. The 100 million yuan I invested previously should have been used to lease the land."

"Um...actually...Shi Huaiya also invested hundreds of millions of dollars in me later."

Lin Yuxia: "???"

She knows Shi Huaiya's character.

Although she is the daughter of the Shi Huaiya family and is very rich, she is usually quite stingy.

They're giving away land and investing, and the funds are likely to be in the hundreds of millions...

Between them...

Lin Yuxia inexplicably started to feel gossipy.

Although it was gossip, Lin Yuxia did not ask about the past, but instead further confirmed the vision of her father and herself.

After all, even the discerning Shi Huaiya could choose Lu Yuan, which proved that his vision was also correct.

There is value in continuing to invest.

"Anyway, if you have any subsequent business questions, feel free to contact me through my personal account on social media."

"It's just that I'm a little busy, so sometimes I may not be able to answer you right away. Please don't blame me."

Lu Yuan said immediately.

"I am already quite satisfied to receive the guidance and recognition from Miss Lin Yuxia."

Then the two of them stood up together and left the restaurant. Since they needed to tell her father about this matter tonight, Lin Yuxia left directly after saying hello to Lu Yuan.

.......

After returning to the slums, Lu Yuan pondered for a night and gradually put the issue of setting up a factory on the agenda. He temporarily stopped expanding outwards and at least solved the problems of the small Block 79 before considering the issue of outward expansion.

Moreover.

Now the three hundred acres of land are not enough for further development. We will consider it again when more fields are added, or the land grade is improved, or higher-level crops appear.

The following days.

Lu Yuan would consult Lin Yuxia almost every day about related issues, such as secondary processing of agricultural products, etc. These were all good choices. After all, Lu Yuan had the conditions.

As for setting up a factory directly.

Lin Yuxia, on the contrary, did not recommend it.

According to Lin Yuxia, Lu Yuan is now a complete newbie, and the slum itself is very "fragile", so it is not advisable to take a big step. Moreover, the most critical thing in the slum is the infected people.

Therefore, Lin Yuxia suggested that Lu Yuan start from the smallest family workshop.

Starting from a small family workshop, the business gradually spread outwards and eventually became stronger and stronger.

Lu Yuan agreed with Lin Yuxia's proposal and planned to put it into practice after some preparation.

However, Lin Yuxia also brought Lu Yuan a piece of news.

Some forces in the central area of the slums have already learned of the situation here. She told Lu Yuan to be careful and put his own safety first.

Lin Yuxia had similar partners before, some of whom died in assassinations by these forces.

The meeting room of the Longmen Guard Bureau was dead silent at this moment.

Superintendents of police, both large and small, gathered here, filling the originally spacious conference hall.

Sir Chen was sitting in the head seat at this time, with her hands on the table, her fingers crossed in front of her, her heroic brows deeply furrowed, and a serious aura flowing out from her body.
