Chapter 176: Chapter 176
"You work in real estate, buying up broken houses and chaotic alleys. Did you ever think, before building them up, that one square meter could cost nearly 100,000?"
After he finished, he continued to ask sarcastically:
"Dad, the initial investment is 1.6 billion, with production lines, logistics, warehousing, materials, and marketing strategies all in place. Even if it doesn’t meet expectations, the land is solid — at most, a loss of 1 billion. Haven’t you made at least 1 billion over the years?"
"Do you look down on your dad so much? Am I afraid of losing money? I’m just afraid you’ll fail and become a laughingstock!"
When it comes to this, Zhou Bai was even more unconcerned.
"Who would laugh at me! Whoever laughs at me will end up on the Little Round series blacklist. These days, you can’t even bypass the restrictions without going through the back door, and my social media is full of people being overly friendly. Why would I fear ridicule?"
"Besides, Dad, at your age, haven’t you realized that as long as you don’t go bankrupt, there will always be people flattering me!"
With that, he proudly stood up straight.
At your age, still relying on your father... isn’t that embarrassing?
As for Chu River’s project team now, they’re not even close to a concept product, and they haven’t succeeded in synthesizing the raw materials the old-fashioned way.
She was staring at a pile of documents, losing her temper:
"My goodness! You must have overeaten and oxygenated your brains too much — have you still not memorized this little bit of stuff after a week?? Weren’t many of you top scorers on your college entrance exams back in the day?"
That intelligence level just doesn’t match up!
The way she said it made everyone feel embarrassed and indignant.
— A week’s time, not counting the travel, they had their original projects to hand over and procedures to run, and a solid seven volumes of materials — they would have to be speed readers to skim through it all!
It’s simply impossible!
Everyone glared at Little Yellow.
— Look at this guy with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, who knew he had bad intentions, isn’t he just a high school graduate? How did he manage to take so many notes?
Little Yellow stuck out his chest: "What are you looking at? I haven’t been idle lately, I even serviced my sister’s Little Yellow bike."
Yes, using his newly learned rugged interstellar knowledge, Little Yellow moved forward with guts and overhauled the half-modified Little Yellow bike stored in the warehouse, disassembling, reassembling, and tidying it up, making it shiny and new.
If he were to sell it, he wouldn’t even care to sell it for less than 10,000! The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel•fire.net
Unfortunately, nobody present was interested in anything but knowledge and couldn’t understand his pride.
However, after spending so many days together, everyone had a grasp on Chu River’s temper, so a researcher interrupted and asked:
"In my day, I was actually a top scorer in science with a raw score of 701 in the entrance exam. I’d say I’m among the top intelligence tier nowadays!"
There was no intention to brag, really none, mainly wanting to prove that they weren’t slacking off — it’s just that the basic materials were filled with such rich content, unlike Little Yellow, who would skip what he didn’t understand.
Skimming over everything.
When they didn’t understand something, they explored it, researched what they didn’t understand — 7 days of oil-burning lamps couldn’t finish it all!
Chu River then slowly furrowed her brow.
She looked sympathetically at the researchers, giving a gentle wave of her hand:
"Alright, alright, continue with your work — knowing your intelligence level, I won’t make impossible demands now."
Making it seem like Chu Fa Da is a harsh boss.
Without being able to say a word, and without having finished reading the materials, Hu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, silently moving to the side, raising a piece of new material, and asking:
"Boss, this new material..."
Chu River nodded upwards: "Put it there. I’ll modify it later and give you the formula."
This is a new type of alloy suitable for mechanical arms, with a different data ratio corresponding to military defense. This finished piece was made by Chu River using spiritual power.
Next, her task is to use the existing resources on Mountain and Sea Star to replace it as much as possible —
This is usually what takes time.
Chu River checked the schedule.
In half a month, Qin Manman should publish her first paper.
It’s said that smack-downs are currently popular, a rise before a fall, so should she expose Qin Manman’s background, or after she runs out of money, or...
After publishing the paper?
She turned to look at Little Yellow.
"Tell me, if someone wants to invent something and I happen to dislike them, wanting them to suffer more — should it be before they invent it or..."
Before she could finish, Little Yellow cleverly responded:
"It should definitely be after they invent it — sis, is there anyone whose invention is cooler than yours anyway? You let her spend the money first, and when everything’s ready, we unleash a better one to smack them in the face!"
"Make them lose horribly! Humiliate them! However they bragged before, let them be embarrassed after!"
Chu River looked at him, eyes full of approval at this moment.
"Huang Mao," she smiled with satisfaction.
"You really are getting smarter these days."
