Chapter 88 opens again
After returning home and having dinner with Cheng Ning, Lu Ran went back to his room.
Now that I've accumulated 10,000 chest experience points, I can finally start a 10-pull.
"System, activate the King's Treasure Chest 10-open sequence."
【Ding! 】
[Opening a King's Chest with a 10-pull will reduce the chest's EXP by 10000.]
[King's Treasure Chest 10-pull event is now open...]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully opened the King's Treasure Chest in ten consecutive draws, obtaining 10 million RMB in cash * 3, 500,000 RMB in cash, 3% of Chengjiang Xinghe Electric Company shares, a Patek Philippe (Henry Gray) watch worth 10 million RMB, a Vacheron Constantin (VC) ladies' watch worth 8 million RMB, and 200,000 RMB in cash * 3.]
[Congratulations, host! You have gained 10000 roulette points.]
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.
He was lucky this time when he opened the box, but what surprised him the most was that he actually got 3% of Xinghe Electric's shares.
The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
He had previously carefully researched the information on Lin Shaoxian and the others. Although most of the information was obtained through online searches, he still gained some understanding of these people and their families.
Xinghe Electric Appliances, which has been established in Chengjiang for many years, is a business owned by the Liu family.
To be precise, it belongs to Uncle Liu Yan's family.
This is too much of a coincidence.
This time, the reward is only company shares, not direct control of the company, indicating that the reward is limited. Since Xinghe Electric is backed by Liu Yan's Weiyu Electric, it is highly unlikely that outsiders will have too much controlling stake.
This 3% figure is likely due to a shareholder needing funds to sell.
Lu Ran fell into deep thought.
He had previously worried that if these families joined forces against him, he would have little chance to retaliate for the time being.
However, this 3% stake might now become a breakthrough point for infiltrating the enemy's ranks.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ran stopped thinking about it.
"System, start the roulette draw."
【Ding! 】
[Start the roulette draw; roulette points -5000.]
[Congratulations, host! You have activated the roulette wheel and obtained the title: Sensitive Hearing (Wearing this will enhance your hearing. However, long-term use of sensitive hearing may have negative effects on your health. Please use it with caution.)]
Feeling that it wasn't very useful, Lu Ran didn't investigate it for the time being and continued, "Continue with the roulette draw."
【Ding! 】
[Start the roulette draw; roulette points -5000.]
[Congratulations, host! You have triggered a special reward and gained one more title slot.]
Lu Ran was overjoyed.
this is not bad.
Previously, you could only equip three titles, which always felt insufficient. Moreover, changing the title for each slot required a one-day cooldown. This didn't matter when you had few titles, but it became very limiting when you had many and wanted to change titles temporarily.
That's much better now that I've managed to get a title slot.
Lu Ran finally felt satisfied after drawing all the pills at once.
"System, equip the title [Agile Hearing]."
【Ding! 】
The title "[Agile Hearing]" has been equipped on the host, and its effect has been successfully activated.
"Tofu, fresh tofu."
"Handsome, what would you like to eat?"
"Papa, Papa, Guoguo hits my forehead."
"Holy crap." Lu Ran shook his head.
In that instant, he felt as if all the noise in the world had rushed into his brain at once, and his head felt like it was about to explode.
Fortunately, after a few minutes of adjustment, the situation gradually improved.
Those commotions must have come from outside the residential area; there's a tofu shop right outside the gate.
It's not unusual to hear the tofu shop's noise coming from a loudspeaker, but to be able to hear even the conversations of children playing downstairs in the neighborhood is quite impressive.
Although they weren't that far apart, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to hear that clearly.
Lu Ran has gotten used to the feeling of heightened hearing and it's not so uncomfortable anymore.
But there was too much noise, and it was still a bit uncomfortable to keep doing it like that, so Lu Ran took off the title.
Seeing that it was time to sleep, he sent Cheng Ning a goodnight message and then washed up and went to bed.
···
Two days later.
Today, Cheng Ning was going to attend her maternal grandfather's birthday family gathering, so after breakfast, she was picked up by her uncle.
Perhaps fearing that Lu Ran would have a conflict with her aunt, Cheng Ning did not let Lu Ran see her off.
Lu Ran didn't insist.
After learning over the phone that Cheng Ning hadn't been bullied, he hung up the call with relief.
Besides, Cheng Ning's mother was also there, so Lu Ran felt there shouldn't be any problems.
Lu Ran then dialed Bai Yongxiang's number again.
"Old Bai, how's it going over there?"
"Mr. Lu, everything is going very smoothly. The production line will be up and running in a few days. However, Mr. Lu, if we follow your standards, the profit margin will be very low."
"Low profits are okay. The main point is to contribute to society, at least to make others think that way."
"By the way, Lao Bai, how did your talk with Li Hongyang go?"
"It's alright. I gave him a discount little by little, as you instructed, Mr. Lu. He seems very grateful to us."
Lu Ran said calmly, "Just verbal thanks?"
"Well, he said that he will definitely recommend you, Mr. Lu, to the higher-ups for next year's Chengjiang Outstanding Youth."
Lu Ran was taken aback, not expecting this person to be so sensible.
If it were someone else, they might think this thing is useless, and they wouldn't have the money to spend on such fancy things.
But what Lu Ran wanted wasn't money, but status and fame.
So Li Hongyang doing this was exactly what he wanted.
It seems that he has chosen the right path, and he should work even harder.
Lu Ran hung up Bai Yongxiang's call and then dialed Liu Nini's number.
"President Lu."
"Nini, how's the matter I asked you to handle going?"
"Mr. Lu, Sister Wen and I have met with the factory owner. He said he would only sell for 40 million. Mr. Lu, I think this price is a bit high for an electronics factory that is about to go bankrupt, even though it is not small in scale."
"Furthermore, he said he wanted to meet with you, Mr. Lu, in person to discuss the details."
Lu Ran's withdrawal of 100 million yuan from the stock market was not intended for competing with Wang Jiachao for land.
Instead, they wanted to acquire an electronics factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Forty million is not much different from the price he estimated using AI combined with online data.
"How about this, you ask the factory owner if he's free today."
"Mr. Lu, Boss Chen said that you can notify him anytime you want to meet."
Lu Ran smiled. It seemed he was in a hurry!
"Alright then, just tell him to meet at the Qianhai Hotel at noon today."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
This factory is called Kemin Electronics, and it mainly manufactures mobile phones.
Lu Ran was attracted by the factory's core technology for two reasons: first, to improve Chengjiang's employment rate, and second, to pursue both fame and fortune.
The other party insisted on meeting him to discuss the price; since he had a technology patent, it would definitely cost extra.
Lu Ran found a decent set of clothes to change into, and then went to the basement parking lot.
I'm torn between four options: Koenigsegg, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Land Rover Range Rover, and Maybach S-Class.
I couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes, too many cars don't seem to be a good thing. I always have to agonize over it before going out.
Ultimately, Lu Ran chose Maybach.
Before setting off, Lu Ran called the hotel management in advance to ask the hotel to prepare meals for the private rooms.
He's a big boss now, so he should have the proper demeanor.
