He took the map.
Ye Chen glanced at it.
He immediately said, "Alright, no problem. Since it's in a remote area, the land should still be under government ownership. I'll look into it. How much land do you need?"
"As much as possible would be best, just in case," Wang Meng considered.
"Then I'll try my best to acquire as much as I can," Ye Chen replied.
"Right, CEO Ye, I plan to have a few of my comrades come over first. After all, it's difficult for me to handle the base's infrastructure planning alone," Wang Meng said.
"Handle it as you see fit. I'll transfer 50 million to your bank account for the base's construction. You can manage it yourself. Also, include the daily expenses of your comrades in the budget," Ye Chen said.
"CEO Ye, wasn't it 30 million? Why is it 50 million?" Wang Meng asked, puzzled. "Didn't we agree on 30 million last time?"
"Just keep it for now, in case we run out of funds. This isn't a small project," Ye Chen explained.
After saying that, as if remembering something, he added, "Right, now that you've chosen the location, we can start moving. First, find a construction team to clear the weeds and prepare for construction. This will save time, and we can start immediately after the land acquisition procedures with the government are completed."
"Okay!"
Inside the car.
Ye Chen stopped talking.
He took out his phone and called a leader at the Land and Resources Bureau.
Because of the previous land acquisition in Huangpu District to build the Yiren Ruxue production park, Ye Chen still had the contact information of relevant leaders at the Jiangzhou Land and Resources Bureau.
After a few polite greetings and expressing his intention to acquire land, the leader on the other end didn't dare to hesitate and said he would wait for him at the office for a face-to-face meeting.
The reason for such enthusiasm was that Yiren Ruxue had become a key enterprise highly valued by the Jiangzhou leadership.
Therefore, Ye Chen's name carried significant weight in the eyes of many Jiangzhou government departments.
Furthermore, the fact that Ye Chen had a special relationship with former Municipal Party Secretary Zhang and current Secretary Yan Huaili had gradually spread privately within the circles.
In the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.
Ye Chen, who initially planned to return to Shanshujian, asked Wang Meng to change the route after the call and headed straight for the Jiangzhou Land and Resources Bureau.
After communicating with several relevant leaders at the Land Bureau about the land acquisition, upon learning that Ye Chen's target was the remote area, the leaders agreed without any hesitation.
With the approval of the higher-ups, only the procedural matters remained.
To avoid trouble, Ye Chen simply handed over the follow-up procedures to Wang Meng.
For several days, he stayed at Shanshujian, acting as a househusband.
During this relatively leisurely time, he compiled several lists in his notebook.
However, he focused mainly on the technology sector.
Based on his memories from his previous life, he listed the prominent figures who were renowned in the tech world.
Some were still in universities.
Some were still unknown, working in small companies.
Some had already established themselves in large corporations.
Besides compiling lists of people in the tech sector for future recruitment, he also reviewed the progress of his previous life from his memories.
This allowed him to finalize his next development plan.
Several days passed.
He completely stayed out of Yiren Ruxue's affairs.
The establishment of Yiren Ruxue's brand department, headed by Yuan Mingyue, also proceeded quietly without causing any waves.
After all, Chen Yinuo wouldn't be foolish enough to publicly announce the first-tier salary offered to Yuan Mingyue, and Yuan Mingyue wouldn't boast about it either.
However, the news that Yiren Ruxue would launch a sunscreen after the flawless cream generated online discussions under Yuan Mingyue's direction.
That day.
The auction for the Banshan development rights quietly arrived.
However, Ye Chen declined Zhang Jingshan's invitation to attend, which he received over the phone.
He drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon alone to Qianlong Game Company.
It had been several months since the acquisition.
During this time, he hadn't visited even once, as if he had forgotten about it.
Qianlong Game Company.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Ye Chen was stopped by the receptionist as soon as he entered.
The reason for this was that when Ye Chen came to Qianlong Game Company for the acquisition, all the staff except the seven members of the R&D team who were also shareholders had left because they hadn't been paid.
However, before Ye Chen could speak, the receptionist suddenly seemed to recognize him. "Ah? Are you CEO Ye of Yiren Ruxue?"
Ever since the flawless cream first appeared and was questioned, it had been revealed that the CEO of the new brand Yiren Ruxue was a young man in his twenties.
From the flawless cream monopolizing the market and becoming a cash cow, followed by the subsequent black history scandal, Ye Chen's self-narrated Douyin short video spread across the internet, and the topic of him becoming a nouveau riche after acquiring a semiconductor company for 700 million a few days ago once again put him in the trending searches.
These events had undoubtedly made Ye Chen an internet celebrity. Not only had his past been thoroughly dug up, but his appearance was also widely known.
Therefore, after exclaiming, "Are you CEO Ye of Yiren Ruxue?" the receptionist was immediately stunned.
"This... could it be that he's here to acquire Qianlong Game Company?"
"Yes, it's me," Ye Chen said with a smile in response to her surprise.
"You, you're here to..."
Before the receptionist could finish, a member of the R&D team who was also a shareholder happened to walk out from inside.
Upon seeing Ye Chen, he almost thought he had mistaken him. "CEO Ye, is it really you? We were just talking about you this morning, wondering if you had forgotten about our company. Old Xu was even mentioning whether we should call you! Come, come! Old Xu and the others are all in the core R&D room. Let's go over there first!"
"Okay, let's go then," Ye Chen said without any ceremony, smiling as he walked towards him.
The receptionist was left in a daze.
"What's going on?"
Deep inside the company, in a shared R&D room occupying several tens of square meters.
"Old Xu, CEO Ye is here!"
As soon as they entered the core R&D room, the R&D team member immediately shouted.
In the next second, not only the team leader Xu Yingjie, but also the other five team members all jumped up.
Because for them, Ye Chen was no less than a savior.
If it weren't for Ye Chen, Qianlong Game Company would have already dissolved.
If it weren't for Ye Chen, their all-out effort, Reincarnation, would have long ceased development.
If it weren't for Ye Chen, they would probably be scattered all over the country by now.
"CEO Ye, I thought you had forgotten about our company!"
Xu Yingjie excitedly stepped forward. Although he had gone from being the majority shareholder to a minority shareholder with 4% of the shares, Xu Yingjie not only didn't feel any sense of loss but also felt much more relaxed.
After all, when he was the majority shareholder, he had carried too much pressure.
