Chapter 531: Chapter 531

The next morning, Zhen Yu had just quietly moved by herself using a space transporter, when He Baihe handed over three mobile phones to her.

So, Zhen Yu took advantage of going downstairs for lunch to head to China Telecommunications to get three SIM cards.

After this task was completed, Zhen Yu went straight to the internet cafe! She wanted to search online for information about the Capital’s real estate prices and the shareholding reform of state-owned factories.

Real estate prices were relatively easy to find, possibly because the Capital was undergoing major transformations in the past two years, with high-rise buildings sprouting up! And with the housing reform in 1998 abolishing the welfare housing allocation, there was a storm of news about commercial housing at that time!

The addresses of Beijing University and Public Security University were also easy to find, which was incredibly simple!

So after she finished checking, Zhen Yu directly focused her attention on Haidian District and Xicheng District.

As she had guessed, the real estate prices in the Capital at the beginning of 1999 were still between 2000 to 3000 yuan per square meter! Although the government encouraged the people of the Capital to actively buy houses, the locals were still keen on getting welfare housing, so the commercial housing market was not very booming at the moment.

This was a business opportunity!

However, it was regrettable that buying more properties now meant tying up all the money, which wouldn’t lead to immediate profits. So Zhen Yu was determined to get the dairy factory up and running!

Waiting until she earned more money before buying properties would still be timely! After all, the property prices were bound to rise...

Having a good understanding of the Capital’s real estate prices, Zhen Yu started to research her currently most concerned issue—shareholding reforms!

After searching, Zhen Yu found she had two options.

The first was to acquire the factory and the land around it as well. Even if the dairy business failed, the land could still fetch a good price!

The second option was to spend less money to buy equipment and brands, taking full control of production.

With a bit of thought, it was clear that Factory Director Lu would prefer the latter. But Zhen Yu was also interested in the land where the factory was located! Although it was considered a suburban area now, it could become a prime location once the city developed...

But she might not have enough money to accomplish both tasks, what to do?!

Only one solution—loans! Using two internet cafes as collateral for the loans! In a moment, Zhen Yu decided resolutely!

Although Zhen Yu in her previous life had not dealt with such upscale business as running a company, she knew from common sense that any matter usually required the consent of the majority!

So, she also decided that she must figure out a way to own more than half of the shares of the dairy factory! Because she felt that only by doing so could she have the greatest say within the factory!

Well, if not, just throw more money at it! After all, the computers and monitors at both internet cafes also needed an upgrade!

And the internet cafes Zhang San and Li Si were each preparing near the train station and bus station were planning to open this winter vacation!

A month ago, they had already asked her to help purchase computers! Although Zhen Yu still charged them the wholesale price of the 1999 market, as long as she converted the money into gold, it would be a sure win...

And the obsolete computers from the internet cafes, once they reached Zhang Liang, turned into money again!

Finally, Zhen Yu checked on the channels for book procurement.

After all, it was about buying things, so it was quite easy! One way was to directly purchase from publishers.

Of course, if Zhen Yu didn’t mind the hassle, she could also choose to go to the wholesale market herself!

Since He Baihe couldn’t get prepared in a short time, Zhen Yu decided to contact several publishers first. After all, it’s always good to compare options from three different sources!

Surfing the internet and making some phone calls, half a day had passed.

Zhen Yu originally wanted to check how her serialized novel was doing but suddenly thought of Han Mingyue! This text is hosted at NoveI★Fire.net

So after hesitating for a few seconds, she logged off.

And she decided to go to the pharmacy first to find him, then later bring him back to the internet cafe to watch the data together!

In fact, Han Mingyue had gone to the school to look for Zhen Yu early this morning.

But he had not expected that just because he arrived a little later than usual, he would miss her!

And after his morning run, she did not return to the school dormitory!

So Han Mingyue had no choice but to go back home and patiently wait for her to come to find him.

At the time of Zhen Yu going upstairs, Han Mingyue was playing the guitar in the bedroom.

She stood at the bedroom door and listened for a while, only to discover that he was playing Zheng Jun’s "Cinderella". As the song ended, she pushed the door open and walked in; the young man in a gray-blue turtleneck sweater immediately looked up!

"You’re here!" After flashing a big smile, he placed the guitar on the bed and stood up.

Zhen Yu’s eyes were dazzled by his smile, and it took her a long while to respond.

Han Mingyue tilted his head in confusion and gently called out, "Xiao Yu?"

"Ah? Oh!" Zhen Yu came back to her senses and blurted out: "I came to find you!"

"Pfft!" Han Jiayang, who was sitting at the desk doing his homework, suddenly turned around and said: "Isn’t that obvious! If you’re not here to find my brother, who else could you be looking for!"

Zhen Yu’s face turned slightly red, and Han Mingyue also appeared a bit embarrassed.

After an awkward moment of eye contact, it was Zhen Yu who spoke first: "Come to the internet cafe with me! Let’s see how the novel is doing."

Before Han Mingyue could respond, Han Jiayang shouted first: "I want to go too!"

"Is that okay?" Zhen Yu asked Han Mingyue.

Seeing his brother had been studying for half the day, Han Mingyue paused only a second before saying: "If you want to go, let’s go!"

"Yay!" Han Jiayang immediately jumped up from his seat and quickly put on his down jacket.

Seeing this, Han Mingyue also quickly got dressed and said to his brother and Zhen Yu, "Let’s go!"

As they went downstairs, Mrs. Han curiously said: "Didn’t Xiao Yu just come? Why are you guys going out again? I’m about to make dinner! Xiao Yu, you should eat here too!"

"We’re just going to the internet cafe and will be back before dinner," Han Mingyue promptly explained.

"Alright, come back early!"

"Xiao Yu! The editor from Qihang Net sent me another message."

"And there’s another message, claiming to be an editor,"

"Let me see!" When Zhen Yu first heard this familiar name, she almost thought she was hallucinating! But she quickly realized that history’s wheels were accelerating again.

"Really! You talk to him! I’m not very familiar with the current situation of these novel websites. I’ll help you check this company’s background information..."

"Alright, let’s divide and conquer!"
