After hanging up the phone,

Su Yehao spaced out, lost in thought. He went upstairs to his study and propped his legs up on the desk.

As soon as the floodgates in his mind opened, all sorts of ideas came pouring out.

First and foremost were chips and chip manufacturing. These would undoubtedly be the most difficult. Even setting aside the question of whether or not he could get his hands on a lithography machine, entering this new market would inevitably invite pressure from multiple sides.

Going up against Liangxiang to seize the personal computer assembly market, on the other hand, seemed comparatively easier.

This company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It had just sold its millionth computer last year, mainly to Europe and America.

After checking online, its current market capitalization was around 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. It was benefiting from the dot-com bubble, with relatively high profits in recent years. It hadn't fallen much during the stock market crash, and its price-to-earnings ratio remained high.

It had already grown.

No wonder they were so arrogant as to drive away their chief technology officer.

According to news reports, it was also working with iB/.

So much fragmented knowledge in his head.

He hadn't thought much of it before, but after seriously thinking about it, Su Yehao realized that many things could be put to good use.

For example, Academician Ni Danian, or that someone who jumped ship from TSMC and founded SMIC, or even Lei Busi—they were all valuable talents, perfectly suited to have work foisted upon them.

Same old story.

If he didn't know how to do something himself, he'd just call in reinforcements.

After mulling it over, Su Yehao first instructed his assistant's office to arrange for someone to collect detailed information on chip research and development and the manufacturing sector, especially the specific situations of TSMC, ASML, and Liangxiang.

He wanted to understand the situation first, and then ask the experts for more details.

The armchair strategizing came to a temporary end. Suddenly, it didn't seem so difficult after all. The main thing was that he wasn't short on cash now, and he would probably be even less short on cash in the future. He was full of confidence, and even if he kept throwing money at it, he should be able to produce some results.

Thinking like this, he suddenly felt a little more confident.

He locked the paper with many keywords written on it in his desk drawer, not daring to throw it in the trash casually.

As Su Yehao made a name for himself, the paparazzi became increasingly twisted, always rummaging through his trash. They'd even been caught by security, so he had to be careful.

Chu Jun quickly returned the call and arranged to have dinner together the next evening.

After chatting with him,

Su Yehao leisurely went downstairs and said to Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu, "After the plane is in hand tonight, we'll head straight to the Si Jiucheng (Four Nine City - Beijing) in the mainland. Who wants to go with me? I have a house there. If you need to apply for a travel permit, you'd better hurry. I'll have someone arrange it for you."

The little girl immediately raised her hand to sign up.

Jiang Yu was resting, still wearing an apron. She asked curiously, "Weren't you planning to have the Japanese pilot be the kamikaze first? Now you're not afraid of the new plane having problems?"

"Knock on wood! It's not like selling small appliances. It must have been carefully inspected before leaving the factory, otherwise how could it have flown from America to Hong Kong?"

Su Yehao continued to ask her, "Are you going or not? If everything goes smoothly, I'll finish my business tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I can take you shopping and sightseeing in Si Jiucheng."

Slightly tempted, Jiang Yu replied,

"If we go to the Great Wall, I'll go with you for a couple of days."

"Sure, it's not far from the city anyway. We'll take half a day to walk around. Maybe we'll even run into a big snowfall this season..."

They settled the next arrangements in a few words.

They had both been to the mainland, and their travel permits hadn't expired, so they didn't need to renew them.

They had dinner in Tsim Sha Tsui in the evening and took a car straight to the airport. On the way, Su Yehao received a call from his father, who said that the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) was preparing to go public and asked him if he wanted to invest.

He could only say that there were many opportunities lately.

Hong Kong was undergoing a major reshuffle, while the mainland and international markets were also suffering the impact of technological and economic changes.

Although the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation was good, it was far behind the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, personal computers, and the field of chip research and manufacturing.

When Su Yehao mentioned that Zheng Yongwen had approached him with news that there was an opportunity to invest in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, his father immediately threw the MTR to the back of his mind and hurriedly asked about the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, whether it was reliable, and how much of a stake he could get.

Sure enough, opportunities like this to make money were hard for anyone with eyes to resist.

Once he invested in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, he would not only have the opportunity to earn a steady income, but he would also have the opportunity to control the discourse and influence companies that were already listed and those that wanted to be listed.

After becoming rich, people can sit at home, and opportunities will come one after another.

Opportunities are for prepared and wealthy people. This was indeed true. If it were someone else, even if they knew that investing in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and chip research and manufacturing could make money, they would have to watch it slip away because they couldn't come up with enough capital.

When Su Yehao arrived at the airport,

He took a shuttle bus and soon saw a brand new Gulfstream V private jet. Not far away was a Boeing 747.

In comparison, the Gulfstream V seemed particularly petite...
