Three months later, the temperature dropped and it was winter.

This year it snowed in Kyoto earlier than in previous years. As soon as January entered, the first snowfall in the city covered the entire city in a blanket of white.

There are still two months left before the Chinese New Year, and the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce will be held half a month earlier than in previous years.

This time, President Li still sent an invitation letter to Lan Shu and Xiaobai each.

Because the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce invested in Shenzhen last year, this couple invested the most money.

It has been a year. As the general person in charge of the investment project, Chairman Li should also report the investment progress last year to the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

The year-end meeting of the Chamber of Commerce is still held in the conference hall upstairs of the Kyoto Hotel.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived on time to participate.

During the meeting, Chairman Li sat in the chief position and spent an hour describing the changes that the 30 million yuan had made to the entire Shenzhen City last year.

Now that Shenzhen City has been initially constructed, the next step is to attract investment and further construction with subsequent development.

It's been a year, and members of the Chamber of Commerce have not seen any return on the money they invested.

This makes many members feel disappointed and even think that their money may be wasted?

For a moment, many people looked at Lan Shu and Gu Jue——

The two people invested the most money, a full 10 million!

Now that there is no profit, how should the two of them react?

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lan Shu's eyes were calm, and Xiao Bai's expression was as usual.

Even after hearing Chairman Li talk about the further construction of Shenzhen City, Lan Shu asked directly, "How much crowdfunding investment is needed this time?"

The purpose of Chairman Li's meeting today does have this meaning.

He originally thought that talking about this topic would require some long preparation.

But he didn't expect that Miss Lan would get straight to the point and ask the key questions.

President Li:......

He was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across the audience, and after specifically observing the expressions on the faces of the participants, he sighed and answered, "This time we need more than 30 million...50 million to cap."

Members of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce who participated in the meeting:...

At this moment, many people had complicated expressions. They didn't even know how President Li had the nerve to say such words.

Last year’s crowdfunding of 30 million has already cost them a lot of money!

But one year has passed, and it’s okay to have no profits. Now Chairman Li actually asks them to invest money!

And this time one investment is between 3000 and 500 million!

Even if you suck all the blood out of them, you won't be able to raise 50 million, right!?

But the next second, everyone heard Miss Lan's voice -

"Then our Langu Group will spend 20 million this time."

Lan Shu's gentle words could shake everyone's hearts more than any deafening sound!

Before she said this, she had already discussed it with Xiaobai beside her.

After their various companies and factories were integrated into a group, funds were pooled and circulated with each other. As a result, the group had more liquidity!

Based on her and Xiaobai's annual dividends, they would get 10 million, and the remaining 10 million would be filled with the group's working capital.

When Shenzhen City develops, it will also create some additional benefits for the company's small shareholders.

President Li listened to Lan Shu's words, his eyes were stunned with surprise, he opened his mouth in disbelief, and it took him a long time to say one sentence -

"Twenty million, are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure!" Lan Shu said seriously.

If they hadn't been able to come up with this now, no matter how much more it would affect the normal development and operation of the group, otherwise if she had money, she would definitely spend more money to invest in projects in Shencheng!

Upon hearing Lan Shu's words, none of the members of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce present could understand.

They were first surprised by Miss Lan and Master Gu's strong financial resources, and secondly, with so much money invested, it couldn't all go down the drain, right?

What the couple invested last year, plus what they will invest this year, is a total of 30 million~!

So, does the Shencheng project really have potential?

So later, some people had the mentality of giving it a try, and reported investment amounts of ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty or fifty thousand.

It’s completely different from the situation last year when everyone was excited to submit hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!

Even Lan Weicheng was a lot more cautious. Last year he invested 500,000 yuan, but this year he only invested 200,000 yuan.

After hearing the investment amount reported by her biological father, Lan Shu glanced in the direction of Lan Weicheng.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but the courage to do business will affect the speed of making money in the future.

It can be seen from this that Lan Weicheng is a business-minded person. In his heart, he is content with being small and rich. He does not have the ambition to make a lot of money.

At this time, Lan Shu suddenly thought of Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng is the male protagonist of the novel. In the male protagonist's entrepreneurial plot in the book, there are several times when he invested all his wealth and finally made a lot of money.

Only those people who are capable and ambitious can achieve success.

Of course, in Lan Shu's opinion, the reason why Gu Cheng in the novel was able to succeed in the end was actually more because of the halo of the male protagonist.

As the male protagonist, his future success is destined——

…

On the afternoon of the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, hundreds of members reported their numbers and raised a total of more than 34 million yuan for the subsequent investment in Shenzhen construction.

In addition to the 20 million invested by Lan Shu and Xiaobai, the ones with the largest investment amount were Lu Wei and Qian Qing, who came on behalf of the Walkman and VCD factories. In terms of investment amount, the two of them reported 5 million.

!

This result was arrived at through discussion between the two of them, and it can be said that they put their money where their mouth is!

With investments of two million last year, five million and seven million this year, Lu Wei and Qian Qing have become the members with the most investment after Lan Shu and Xiaobai.

As he said last year, Qian Qing trusted his Miss Lan’s intuition and had been secretly waiting for Miss Lan to lead them to ‘pick up money for free’.

That's why there is such an amazing investment.

Because of the support of Lan Shu and his wife, as well as brothers Lu Wei and Qian Qing, Chairman Li's money-raising plan did not end in an ugly way.

The meeting ended successfully, and in the evening, a dinner party for members of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce continued——

…

At this time, in a prison in a third- and fourth-tier city.

It's dark and humid here, and the air is filled with the smell of sweat all year round, mixed with the smell of rust.

Today's prison hygiene has not been rectified, because there is little sunlight and the humidity is relatively high. Even though Gu Cheng has been here for a year and a half, his feet will swell and his whole body will get itchy eczema from time to time due to the humidity of the environment.

Life in prison is difficult. The difficulty here is not that they are imprisoned, but that the prisoners have to get up early every day and go to work repeatedly.

Folding match boxes, packing matches, and rolling cigarettes are things Gu Cheng often does.

Here, prisoners have no human rights. In addition to losing their freedom, they are still tools for work.
