Chapter 633: Building [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] and [Cellphone Development Factory]

At the thought of this, Su Yang could not help but feel his heart burning. He wanted to build a [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] and a [Cellphone Development Factory] immediately.

‘Which one should I build first? The cheaper one of course.

‘So… I choose you, [Satellite Launching Rocket Base]!

‘Although I have no idea why the [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] is cheaper than the [Cellphone Development Factory], so I’ll just have to admit that it’s cheaper.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang could not be bothered to wait any longer. He ran to the virtual space and prepared to build a [Satellite Launching Rocket Base].

Su Yang, who had never had so many coins before, could be considered rich and overbearing. He called all the little monsters to him, intending to get them to watch the glorious moment together!

After all the monsters came to his side, he called out the virtual interface and opened the virtual space’s app. Then, he selected the purchase list and clicked on [Satellite Launching Rocket Base].

A notification popped up before him.

[Do you wish to purchase a “Satellite Launching Rocket Base”? The price of this item is 12,999 coins.]

13 thousand coins was simply shocking! However, the wealthy Su Yang did not hesitate and clicked on [Confirm].

As he clicked [Confirm], the number of his coins dropped with multiple “Clings” and “Clangs”. In a moment, there were only 280,000 coins left. After that, another notification popped up before him.

[Successfully purchased a “Satellite Launching Rocket Base”. Please use it according to the system’s prompts.]

At the same time, a virtual 3D model appeared in front of Su Yang. It was the model of a [Satellite Launching Rocket Base], which was in its perfective aspect. Even the foundation and the steel bars in it were clearly visible. It was literally just like a floating island.

[This item covers an area of approximately 1.5 square kilometers. Please place this item where you wish to place it and leave the area.]

At the same time, a virtual 3D model of the virtual space appeared before Su Yang. The two models were of different sizes and should have been scaled according to reality.

Su Yang adjusted the two models and tested them one by one. In the end, he decided to place the [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] on the mountain on the right side of the castle.

With the 3D model, Su Yang confirmed his choice after making the adjustments.

A moment later, there was a loud “Boom” in the distance, followed by a flash of light. The ground on the mountain in the distance was levelled, becoming extremely flat.

Then, as if there was an invisible giant controlling everything in that area, huge steel bars appeared out of thin air and stabbed into the ground to stabilize the mountain.

Armors made of steel then wrapped around it…

Su Yang and the little monsters looked up at everything before them. After a while, Little Hus turned around and asked Su Yang, “Su Yang, isn’t this… Supposed to be built immediately?”

It was only at that moment that Su Yang realized.

‘It’s right! Why does this look like it’s not going to be completed immediately?!’

Even though Su Yang had the same thought, he still glared at it. “How should I know? I thought it would be built immediately too!”

As he said that, Su Yang looked at the interface of the virtual space app. The construction option for the [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] had already turned gray. On it was the word [Constructing]. Beside that word, there was a countdown timer. [1439: 59: 37].

‘More than 1,400 hours?!’ Su Yang was stunned for a moment.

Then, he did some calculations. ‘If there are 24 hours a day… That’s going to be f*cking two months!’

Su Yang was going crazy!

‘Is this thing actually going to take so long?!

‘Can’t it be quicker?!’

With that thought, Su Yang clicked on the [Constructing] option and a notification popped up.

[Instant completion requires 144,000 coins. Do you wish to pay?]

Su Yang was speechless.

‘It’s going to take 100 coins to hasten it by an hour?

‘You profiteer!

‘This profiteer of a system looks exactly like a locally-produced mobile game that relies on pay to win!

‘There no way I’m paying for it!

‘I’m going to infuriate you so much!

‘Fine, it’s mainly because I don’t have money… After all, I only have just enough money to buy a [Cellphone Development Factory].

With that thought in mind, Su Yang exited the purchase option and clicked on the [Cellphone Development Factory] again.

19,999 coins were then deducted from the system.

Just like the [Satellite Launching Rocket Base], Su Yang controlled the Virtual Model 3D and placed the [Cellphone Development Factory] in the empty valley behind the castle. The location was just big enough to be placed there.

Then, It was still as if there was an invisible giant building the [Cellphone Development Factory] in the air. Su Yang looked at the time and found that it was also going to take more than 1400 hours, seeming as if it would also take two months to complete.

Thus, Su Yang gave up.

After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, he could only wait patiently.

However, Su Yang did not feel that he was losing out. After all, he felt that he had taken the first actual step into changing the world.

‘Imagine, everyone abandoning their weird metal phone and picking up a cell phone made of a single piece of glass, how revolutionary would that be?

‘Think about how everyone in the world would end up using my phone, how glorious is that?

‘I believe that this cell phone will definitely bring about a revolution in the cellphone industry. Apple and Samsung would be swept into the dustbin of history and would soon be removed from the stage of history.

‘Then, a revolutionary cellphone brand called [Jiadian] would become the world’s new favorite.

‘And I will be that era’s… Inventor.’

…

At the same time, just as Su Yang was fantasizing about a new era, the young Zhao Licheng met Old Cao at a high-end western restaurant.

Zhao Licheng chose the place because Old Cao preferred western food.

Zhao Licheng’s original team had three core members whereby he was the CEO, a major shareholder and the owner of the company.

Below him were Old Zhang and Old Cao. Old Zhang and Old Cao had started the company together with Zhao Licheng. However, their personalities were different and their relationship with Zhao Licheng was also different.

Old Zhang was more easygoing and he was the oldest of the three, so he had a more peaceful mindset and did things steadily. Zhao Licheng and Old Zhang were close, so they could be considered good friends.

Therefore, after the investor agreed to the company’s IPO, Zhao Licheng’s first call was to him.

Old Cao, on the other hand, was more aggressive, ruthless and harsh. Therefore, although Zhao Licheng was on good terms with him, they were just friends.

When Zhao Licheng was still alive, Old Zhang and Old Cao were both vice presidents and they were only below Zhao Licheng. However, after Zhao Licheng died, Old Zhang’s easy going personality was obviously no match for Old Cao, so Old Cao became the boss of the company.

Seeing Old Cao again, Zhao Licheng felt that Old Cao was even more vigourous.

Even though he was in his forties, he walked with confidence, seeming like a successful man.

Zhao Licheng had already been resurrected and cut off from his past self. Hence, he did not consider himself to be Old Cao’s elder brother. Instead, he stood up and greeted him according to the usual social etiquette. “Mr. Cao, over here.”

Old Cao looked at Zhao Licheng with a calm expression. After a while, he nodded and sat down.

Zhao Licheng was familiar with Old Cao’s personality. He knew that Old Cao was the kind of person who was particular about seniority and status. If a young man who was not as experienced as him or of a higher status than him, Zhao Licheng would most likely not show him any respect.

When Zhao Licheng was his superior in the past, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he did. Although it was a little unreasonable, everyone had their own values and way of doing things, so there was no need to bother about it.

Now that he had to face Old Cao as a “lower class”, Zhao Licheng suddenly felt uncomfortable.

After Old Cao sat down, Zhao Licheng took the initiative to say, “Mr. Cao, I’m here this time to…”

Before he could finish, Old Cao waved his hand and said, “Waiter.”

Zhao Licheng was speechless.

The waiter walked over and bowed. “Hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Old Cao said, “Give me a Fillet steak. Thank you.”

After he said that, he looked at Zhao Licheng and asked, “How about you?”

The direction of the conversation was completely controlled by Old Cao. Zhao Licheng did not have a good appetite, so he raised his hand and said, “I’ll have a plate of pasta.”

After he finished ordering, Old Cao sneered. “You have the same taste as Old Zhao.”

Zhao Licheng smiled and said, “Pasta is considered to be a very common dish. There will always be three or four people out of ten who would order this at a western restaurant.”

Old Cao did not say anything. Instead, he took a sip of water and said, “Why did Qi Shanshan ask you to look for me?”

Zhao Licheng said, “For the shares.”

When Old Cao heard that, the coldness on his face increased. “There’s no room for negotiation regarding the shares. We had an agreement with Old Zhao in the past. No matter who it is that intends to leave the company, I, Old Zhang, or the company will have the priority to buy them.”

Zhao Licheng said, “That’s right. However, having priority doesn’t mean that I have to sell it to you. Moreover, your price is too low. There’s no sincerity in it at all.”

Old Cao shook his head. “No sincerity? Then, are you saying that your original deal is a sincere one? Selling it to an outsider at a normal price? What are you trying to do? Squander Old Zhao’s assets?”

As he said that, Old Cao’s voice became sharper. “Old Zhao just died and you guys are already scheming to cash out on his inheritance. Do you have any conscience? I’m already being generous by offering you 10% extra to walk away.”

“You don’t remember Old Zhao, but I do! So this is impossible!”

Zhao Licheng looked at Old Cao’s face and felt inexplicably warm in his heart. After all, Old Cao’s words were spoken on his behalf.

However, when he saw Old Cao slowly rubbing his right thumb and index finger, his heart sank. He knew Old Cao well, so he knew that this was a tell that Old Cao would use when he was lying…

Zhao Licheng was silent for a while before he said, “Then, tell me your conditions. What would it take for you to allow us to deal with outsiders?”

Old Cao waved his hand and said firmly, “Impossible. Your shares cannot be given to outsiders.”

Zhao Licheng stared into Old Cao’s eyes for a long time. After a while, he said, “You actually want to take the 12% shares for yourself, don’t you?”

A trace of shock flashed across Old Cao’s face, but he agreed without hesitation. “Yes, of course, I want to buy this 12% share. This was when Old Zhao…”

This time, it was Zhao Licheng’s turn to interrupt him. Zhao Licheng asked, “You want to increase your shares and voting rights, exceeding 50% at best and then become the actual person in charge of the company, don’t you?”

Old Cao was stunned again.

Zhao Licheng, who knew Old Cao very well, immediately understood. He frowned. “What exactly do you want? What project do you intend to promote that requires you to have so many shares?”
