"Chuanzi brother." A younger brother saw Lin Chuan and quickly stood up.

The others also stood up one after another.

Lin Chuan jumped off the car, glanced at the few people, and asked: "Where is Zhao Zhonghai?"

"The instructor has gone to Changlin Factory now," the younger brothers said one after another.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately drove toward Changlin Factory.

Changlin Factory.

Zhao Zhonghai was leading people in tidying up the vast and empty factory. When he saw Lin Chuan coming, he hurriedly stopped his work.

"Lin Chuan, what brings you here?" Zhao Zhonghai asked with a smile.

"Zhao Brother, are you from Wujiang?" asked Lin Chuan.

"Yeah," Zhao Zhonghai nodded hastily and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Is Dragon Spring Mountain close to your home?" Lin Chuan asked again.

"Right at the foot of the mountain," Zhao Zhonghai smiled and said, "Didn't I lead Zhou Kai and the others in training at Dragon Spring Mountain a while ago? These kids often sneak off to Dragon Spring in the afternoon. I've caught them several times."

"Sigh," Lin Chuan sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be long before the villagers near Dragon Spring Mountain will have to relocate."

"Why?" Zhao Zhonghai hurriedly asked.

"Because the Japanese are coming to invest," Lin Chuan said with a wry smile. "Moreover, they plan to build a monument on Dragon Spring Mountain."

"What monument?" Zhao Zhonghai asked in astonishment.

"Heroic Spirit Monument," Lin Chuan said with a cold sneer. "Basically, it's a memorial for the Japanese who died in the battle at Dragon Spring Mountain."

"Have they gone mad?!" Zhao Zhonghai exclaimed in shock. "Doesn't the local government care?"

"Liu Dagu couldn't be happier about it," Lin Chuan said right away. "Secretary Tang has been holding it back and hasn't agreed, rushing back to have a City Committee meeting to solicit opinions. But, I think there's a very high chance they'll agree because, come on, tens of billions are at stake. If Wujiang gets these tens of billions, economically it will be like getting a shot of adrenaline and will inevitably become vibrant. So, they won't pass up this opportunity, even if it means compromising their reputation."

"The bastards raised by a dog," Zhao Zhonghai gnashed his teeth and said, "They want us to move away from the land where our ancestors lived, it won't be so easy. And to think of erecting a monument on Dragon Spring Mountain, don't even dream about it. The people of Dragon Spring Village will never agree."

"We need to be cautious with this matter," Lin Chuan advised soothingly. "After all, if the government agrees, it seems not so easy to refuse."

"Hmph," Zhao Zhonghai slapped the table angrily and said, "Anyway, it won't be so easy to get past us villagers of Dragon Spring Village."

Seeing Zhao Zhonghai's expression, Lin Chuan guessed this matter could get pretty heated. Both sides are stubborn, and people like Liu Dagu definitely won't let it go easily. A project worth tens of billions is not so easy to be disrupted by Zhao Zhonghai and others.

Lin Chuan sighed and said no more.

"Lin Chuan, the training of the younger brothers can't fall behind," Zhao Zhonghai said. "It took us a month of hard work to get their fitness back, and next, we should properly train their basic skills. I plan to conduct routine training every day, push-ups, pull-ups... Train them to military standards."

"Okay," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "That's a good thing, the better it's done, the best."

"Yeah," Zhao Zhonghai said with a smile, "we can't just take our salary for nothing, otherwise I would feel guilty."

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed heartily.

The transport market business has gradually heated up over time. Come March, with the warmth of spring, new house renovations also began, and electricians basically started working too. The first step in new house renovations isn't complicated; electricians would only need a few days to finish. Then, it's time for the plasterers to move in, and the demand for sand and cement increases. The entire transport market was buzzing with activity, with countless calls coming in every day and many transport vehicles racing around daily.

Zhou Rui was very frustrated, her office was located in the transport market, and the daily dust was heavy. Even though she kept the windows and doors closed every day, the dust seemed to seep in through the cracks, and within a day or two, there would be a layer of dust on her desk.

Helpless, Zhou Rui had no choice but to clean up every day.

"You're so diligent, aren't you?" Lin Chuan walked up from downstairs.

Zhou Rui glanced at Lin Chuan and said irritably, "Master, you've finally come?"

"What? You look so angry. Who offended you?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

"Who else could it be!" Zhou Rui huffed, "Look at this dreadful place, filthy and covered in so much dust every day, I have to clean up daily, and it's driving me insane."

"I told you to move to an office on the third floor of Haiqing Pool, but you refused," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"I would never." Zhou Rui snorted coldly. "I'd rather eat dust here than move to an office at Haiqing Pool."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why get angry?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Let's talk about that Haiqing Pool of yours; it's really a mess." Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan and scolded: "How can you do such things? Don't you... don't you have a guilty conscience? Don't you know that this is morally condemned?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Chuan immediately said: "It's just a foot bath place, not some messy spot. I don't know anything, I just opened a platform, what those technicians do inside, I really have no clue."

"Pretending, huh." Zhou Rui retorted unhappily: "How could you not know what's going on inside?"

"I really don't know." Lin Chuan shook his head urgently.

"Hmph." Zhou Rui snorted softly and said: "So, Young Master, what brings you to me today?"

"Nothing much, just came to see you." Lin Chuan said with a smile: "After seeing your management reforms, I've been thinking, there really should be a boss. Otherwise, managing this group of people is like herding cats."

"Exactly." Zhou Rui smiled and replied: "You are their spiritual leader. When you're around, things are fine, but when you're not, it's impossible to command them. Just relying on Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao and a few others, how can anything be achieved. In short, you need to set up a company or something quickly."

"How about starting a gang?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"A gang?" Zhou Rui asked in confusion.

"Yeah." Lin Chuan nodded and said: "There will be a ranking system, clear division of power. Reward for contributions, punishment for transgressions."

"Are you starting an underworld operation?" Zhou Rui's eyes widened.

"Of course not." Lin Chuan shook his head and replied: "Gangs have been around for a long time; they were just replaced by Western companies later on."

"Whatever you say." Zhou Rui nodded and said: "Anyway, you need to quickly establish the hierarchical structure and let the subordinates know who they report to. Otherwise, it will eventually become chaotic."

"This matter can't be rushed in a moment." Lin Chuan said with a smile: "We'll talk about it later."

"As you wish." Zhou Rui said with a smile: "How about my office, is it nice?"

"Nice." Lin Chuan nodded and said: "Indeed, you have the style of a cultured fujoshi."

"What are you babbling about!" Zhou Rui rolled her eyes at Lin Chuan and retorted: "You're the fujoshi."

Zhou Rui was somewhat excited by Lin Chuan's visit. She hadn't seen Lin Chuan for a few days and didn't know what he was busy with every day. Mainly because her own work was too leisurely.

"Xiao Rui, do you have any more comments on the company?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

"No." Zhou Rui shook her head and said: "The fact that you've managed to get to where you are now is already a pretty impressive feat."

"Is it?" Lin Chuan said with a smile: "It's rare to receive your praises!"

"It's the truth." Zhou Rui smiled and replied: "I believe in a few years, you'll definitely surpass that bastard, Liu Shaoqi."

"Haha." Lin Chuan laughed heartily: "Liu Shaoqi's net worth has exceeded a hundred million now, surpassing them is really difficult."

"What's so difficult about it?" Zhou Rui snorted lightly and countered: "The first step is hard, but you've already taken it. Once a certain amount of capital has been accumulated, what's there to fear? Money will make money later on, and that's how you make money fast."

"Investments carry risks." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"The bigger the risk, the higher the profits." Zhou Rui looked dismissively at Lin Chuan and said: "Moreover, you have the bathhouse, what's there to fear. That industry is very lucrative."

"Hahaha..." Lin Chuan laughed again.

Lin Chuan had a long chat with Zhou Rui in the transport market. He felt that Zhou Rui's ideas were not wrong at all. Gathering the initial capital is indeed tough. However, once that phase is finished, the subsequent money comes quickly. It has to be said, Zhou Rui, a girl educated in the Western ways, has a profound understanding of the theories of capital. She had studied theories of capital several times before. Working under Lin Chuan this time was putting her knowledge to good use.

"Good." Lin Chuan nodded and said: "I will consider your ideas."

"What do you mean 'consider'!" Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan and said: "I'm giving you my full consideration, considering the bunch of incompetents at Changlin Factory. You should be thanking me."

"Yes, of course!" Lin Chuan nodded.

When he left, Lin Chuan was indeed a bit confused. Zhou Rui said, if you want to make money, you must move into the most profitable industries, or if you want gradual development, then aim for the most innovative industries. Lin Chuan naturally wanted to make money, but what was the most profitable industry at the moment? Of course, it was real estate. Just grab a piece of land, then build countless houses; each house could be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, making back countless capital in no time.

To step into the real estate industry without tens of millions, even billions, it's simply impossible. Moreover, it requires navigating relationships. What are relationships? Relationships are all about money, with money, you have connections.

Lin Chuan indeed wanted to make money, but he didn't want the capital that had been hard-earned to be lost all at once. He was not a rash person, nor a conservative one. He decided to follow the current development path step by step. At least until the two big players in the eastern part of the city have not fallen, he couldn't act rashly. Any move of his might cause excessive attention from them.
