30: Chapter 30 This phone: 998

After reviewing Zhao Yang's financial disclosure Materials, Meng Dehai and An Changlin both felt a bit dizzy.

A millionaire!

Two luxury properties in the Imperial Capital.

He also collects millions in royalties every year!

Even though both men were Zhao Yang's elders, they couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

Consequently, each of them extorted a carton of Soft Zhonghua cigarettes from Zhao Yang, which finally made them feel better.

After the admission was finalized, Professor Lin from Shuimu University called Zhao Yang eight times a day to urge him to come to the Imperial Capital.

The paper Zhao Yang had submitted through Vice Chancellor Sun Shuxin had already become the theoretical Foundation for the research group that Professor Lin was personally overseeing.

Professor Lin asserted that as long as the subsequent experimental parts were completed, it would be at the level of an international top-tier journal. Zhao Yang could even apply for his degree defense directly.

Before leaving for the Imperial Capital, Zhao Yang gathered with the Gao siblings once more.

In the old house on Jiuchang Street, Gao Qiqiang cooked a table full of dishes himself.

The Qiangsheng phs business was already booming. On the day of the opening, An Changlin personally attended to offer congratulations and even bought a few units on the spot.

From that day on, the social standing of the Gao siblings in the local area rose sharply. Those two bootlickers, Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, didn't dare to show their faces in front of the Gao brothers at all.

After a few rounds of drinks, Gao Qiqiang brought over a small leather bag.

"Section Chief Zhao, the business is now profitable, and this is our first dividend. Although it's not much, it's a token of our appreciation."

Zhao Yang pushed it directly in front of Gao Qilan.

"Old Gao, I'm giving all my dividends to Xiao Lan. Transfer the shares to her name as well."

Gao Qilan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant. She stared at Zhao Yang with watery eyes, her small hand quietly hooking onto his leg under the table.

Having shared Zhao Yang's intelligence, she quickly understood—Zhao Yang was destined to ride the waves in his official career, and holding shares was absolutely out of the question.

Before Gao Qiqiang could ask, Gao Qilan spoke up first: "Brother, I'll manage it on Brother Yang's behalf. Brother Yang is already a Section Chief at such a young age; his future prospects are limitless."

Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qisheng also understood and looked at their sister and Zhao Yang with meaningful glances.

Gao Qilan blushed under their gaze and said shyly and angrily: "I'm supervising you on Brother Yang's behalf!"

"Hahaha!" Gao Qiqiang laughed loudly, "Alright, alright! Supervise, you come and supervise!"

Gao Qisheng looked at Zhao Yang, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"A Sheng, speak your mind."

"Brother Yang, I want to ask you, is there a future in manufacturing mobile phones?" Gao Qisheng said, "Gong Kaijiang told me that mobile phones have more potential than phs. I've taken apart a few mobile phones and think we can build them ourselves; we just need to buy the chips and circuit boards and assemble them."

Zhao Yang's eyes lit up.

Gao Qisheng's perspective had shifted quite quickly.

In the original story, he had hoarded a large batch of phs units years later and ended up stuck with them, yet now he actually had this kind of foresight?

Zhao Yang checked briefly and discovered that Gao Qilan's partner bond had upgraded to 'Unwavering Love,' and the buffs she shared could also affect her closest kin. Gao Qisheng was benefiting from his sister's good fortune.

He paused for a moment. "When I was undercover, I discovered that Xu Jiang was involved in electronic component smuggling. He had a set of mobile phone manufacturing blueprints, which was the latest design from the United States. I made a copy and will give it to you tomorrow. I originally intended to find someone else to act as an agent in the Imperial Capital, but since you have an idea, I'll leave it to you."

"That's great!" Gao Qisheng said, looking pleasantly surprised. "If we have the blueprints, we can save a significant amount on costs!"

"For this matter, have Xiao Lan invest one million. You go find Gong Kaijiang and ask him to help acquire a small factory with the necessary Aptitude. If the money isn't enough, take out a loan; the bank will definitely support such a high-tech enterprise. Don't forget to strive for industrial support policies."

The so-called Qilan Investment was actually Zhao Yang's investment. Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask further questions.

After they were wined and dined, Gao Qilan walked Zhao Yang to the door.

At the street corner, she held Zhao Yang's hand tightly. "Brother Yang, once you go to the Imperial Capital, it will be far away to see you."

Zhao Yang comforted her: "We can meet during winter and summer breaks. If you miss me, just buy a plane ticket and you'll be here in no time."

"I know Brother Yang is busy, and I won't get in your way. I will study the things you asked me to learn well, and strive to be able to help Brother Yang sooner."

Zhao Yang ruffled her hair. "My Xiao Lan is the most sensible."

"Brother Yang, come here, I have a secret to tell you."

"There's no one around, do we really need to whisper?"

Gao Qilan acted coquettishly: "Come on... I'll say it quietly, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed."

Zhao Yang lowered his head slightly and turned his ear toward her.

"Brother Yang, I like you."

Zhao Yang deliberately tilted his head. "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, get closer."

"Brother Yang, I..."

Zhao Yang suddenly turned his head and captured Gao Qilan's cherry lips, pulling her into his arms with both arms.

Gao Qilan's body stiffened, then immediately softened, responding clumsily.

After a long while, they parted.

Gao Qilan lowered her head, breathing rapidly, her face flushed red.

Zhao Yang wrapped his arm around her waist. "Actually, you don't need to say it; I've known for a long time that you were lusting after my body."

"Oh, Brother Yang!" Gao Qilan stamped her foot lightly, feeling even more shy.

Once her shyness subsided, Zhao Yang said: "The names of the companies in Pengcheng and Hong Kong are too ugly; hurry up and change them. The one in Pengcheng will be called 'Tomorrow Culture,' and the one in Hong Kong will be called 'Qilan Investment.'"

"Alright, Brother Yang."

"Use both companies to do a few small businesses; it doesn't matter if you lose or make money, just consider it practice to get the companies running. After July, I will have an important task for you."

Gao Qilan nodded. "Mm-hmm! I'll remember that."

"If you don't understand something, ask General Manager Wu; if you can't make up your mind, call me."

"Okay."

"Then... let's kiss again."

The two of them lingered at the street corner for over ten minutes before Zhao Yang left, under Gao Qilan's reluctant gaze.

The next day, Gao Qisheng received a thick stack of documents.

It not only contained mobile phone design blueprints but also included production line designs and promotion plans.

This was something Zhao Yang had redeemed from the System; the technology was relatively outdated, the price wasn't expensive, and he didn't feel bad about exchanging for it.

The plan adopted the most cost-effective configuration currently available.

998 yuan, with Chinese input, a beautiful appearance, and built-in mini-games. As long as it is promoted properly, it will definitely be a hit.

Gao Qisheng flipped through the Materials, his hands trembling.

"Brother Yang, will this work?"

"Whether it works or not, you'll only know after doing it." Zhao Yang patted his shoulder. "Remember, quality first. The first batch of products must be done well, even if it means losing money."

"I'll remember."

... ...

Imperial Capital, at the entrance of Shuimu University.

Zhao Yang watched the students coming and going; he was finally a graduate student!

Just as he was feeling sentimental, his train of thought was interrupted by a male student.

"You must be student Zhao Yang, right?"

The boy wore thick glasses and held a photo, asking while comparing it to the person in front of him.

Zhao Yang nodded. "I am Zhao Yang. What should I call you, classmate?"

"My name is Xiao Chunan. Professor Lin knew you were reporting today and specifically asked me to come pick you up. Haha, you're even more handsome than in the photo!"

Zhao Yang's eye twitched.

Xiao, Chu, Nan?

That's quite a unique name.

"Senior Brother Xiao, how did you know I would come through this gate?"

"Usually, when people take a taxi to Shuimu, this is the default gate. Since you came from Jinghai, you definitely took a taxi."

Zhao Yang nodded; truly worthy of being a student at Shuimu, the thinking was indeed agile.
