Zhou Xiang then said, "So I have decided to invest 500 million Renminbi."
The people in the private room with two dining tables couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow..."
"I will also invest 500 million Renminbi," Hua Tianyu said, unwilling to fall behind. They were all businesspeople, and they could easily guess the profits from the All-Purpose Phone.
"I'll invest 10 million Renminbi."
"I'll invest 20 million Renminbi. I'll invest 15 million Renminbi..." The people in the private room began to voice their intended investment amounts.
Zhang Tianqi took out a small notebook and recorded everyone's names along with the amounts they planned to invest, so he could talk to them tomorrow.
To reassure these investors, Chen Haoxuan said he would create a small module within the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda, where investors could click in and see all the movements of the All-Purpose Phone. Only investors would be allowed inside.
The next day, Chen Haoxuan started advertising in his Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda. As soon as his advertisement was released, it caused a sensation on his website. It was as if he was not an ordinary person; everything he did attracted significant attention. This time, his advertisement created even more buzz than his previous endeavors, primarily because he aimed to gather investments totaling hundreds of millions of Renminbi for the All-Purpose Phone.
Hundreds of billions of Renminbi! This was no small amount. In China, there are very few businesses that can attract such large investments at once; it's rare even internationally. As a result, Chen Haoxuan came under investigation. While Chen Haoxuan was being investigated secretly, Zhang Tianqi was directly taken to the police station and questioned by two men in plain clothes. Zhang Tianqi realized these men were not ordinary individuals, but since he was conducting legitimate business, he wasn't afraid and told them the truth.
Zhang Tianqi was released, but those who let him go warned him not to disclose anything about being questioned. Thus, Chen Haoxuan remained unaware that he was being investigated and that he had drawn attention.
Chen Haoxuan handed over all the investors he had gathered to Zhang Tianqi; he mainly focused on dealing with real tycoons like Amanxi Binqi. Chen Haoxuan understood that rapidly developing the All-Purpose Phone couldn't rely solely on production; he needed strong backing. Otherwise, if the All-Purpose Phone achieved widespread sales, it would surely face resistance from those in the mobile phone business. However, if he had powerful partners, others would think twice before taking action against him.
For instance, if he collaborated with Amanxi Binqi, Amanxi Binqi would certainly help him for his own benefit. If someone tried to cause trouble, Amanxi Binqi would use his influence to crush those who dared to challenge them. Additionally, when Chinese products sought entry into Europe, officials there might deliberately create obstacles. But by aligning with influential families in Europe, such concerns could be alleviated; they would handle any issues themselves without requiring his intervention.
Finding small figures might take a long time for Chen Haoxuan, but when it comes to finding big names, he can locate the people he wants with just a quick search on Baidu in a matter of seconds. After obtaining their contact information, he directly reaches out to them using his real name, as his current fame allows him to get some leeway from most people.
Chen Haoxuan finds it easy; he just chats and pulls people in because of his reputation, which makes others trust him. However, on Zhang Tianqi's side, they are overwhelmed with work. They often find themselves busy with a large number of wealthy individuals from around the world seeking them out for investment discussions.
Amanxi Binqi was also persuaded by Chen Haoxuan to invest, putting in a substantial amount of one hundred billion Renminbi. It’s quite amusing that when Amanxi Binqi personally called Zhang Tianqi, it nearly gave him a heart attack. The fact that a world-class billionaire could be brought in by Chen Haoxuan left Zhang Tianqi in awe of him.
Eventually, Zhang Tianqi became numb to it all; no matter who approached him, it felt completely normal.
As days passed, more and more people invested in the All-Purpose Phone, which successfully went public.
Li Jun also invested one hundred million Renminbi. Now all his industrial zones that were not rented out have been leased by Zhang Tianqi. Not only his properties but also all vacant industrial areas and factories in New City and nearby regions have been rented out. Every day, a large number of machinery for mobile phone production is being transported to New City, along with a significant recruitment of electronic talent and white-collar workers. As for the employees, they will be hired once the equipment installation is nearing completion.
Zhang Tianqi is extremely busy every day while Chen Haoxuan sits leisurely at his computer drinking tea and chatting. This is what Chen Haoxuan enjoys about being the behind-the-scenes boss; regardless of how big the All-Purpose Phone becomes, his authority remains supreme unless all other investors turn against him. Chen Yuebin is responsible for acquiring bamboo and other materials, while Miao Yuxiang manages the supermarket. Being the boss is quite effortless for Chen Haoxuan; he just needs to think things through while letting others handle the rest as he waits to count his money.
On September 6th, Chen Haoxuan had amassed one thousand billion Renminbi and decided not to allow any more investments from other investors since there would be little left for him to share.
This year has been the busiest month in New City’s history as many young people from various provinces come looking for jobs. Most of them end up working in factories under Communication Mobile City. Getting into one of these factories is easy as long as you have a health certificate, no tattoos, and are physically fit. The pay is significantly higher than the labor law minimum.
With more people in New City, its economic capacity has greatly improved.
What Chen Haoxuan and his team are doing can be seen as helping many individuals by addressing employment issues for a small portion of China’s population and boosting New City’s economy several times over compared to before.
No need to look for any more investors means that Chen Haoxuan can relax again and enjoy some leisure time. He hasn’t returned home or visited the supermarket he opened in a long time, so he suggested to Chen Yina that they go back for a visit. However, Chen Yina declined; it wasn’t that she didn’t want to go back but rather that she needed to prepare for her exams and didn’t want to fall behind compared to Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Haoxuan returned alone and instructed Lin Hao and the others to take turns ensuring Chen Yina's safety.
Chen Haoxuan first went back to the supermarket in Pingyuan County. He saw that his supermarket was thriving, and Miao Yuxiang was managing it very well. Seeing that the supermarket was on the right track, he decided to have Liu Junfeng come over to learn from Miao Yuxiang while managing the supermarket. As for Yang Lin, he was not suited for this line of work; he was more suitable for entertainment-related activities, so Chen Haoxuan decided to set Yang Lin aside for the time being.
