101: Chapter 101 Abundant Harvest

[Reward settlement complete. Congratulations to the host for receiving a cash reward of RMB 500 million.]

"Ding!"

"Your account 31B500,000,000.00 yuan, the balance after the transaction is 541,318,720.70 yuan [China Merchants Bank]."

It wasn't over yet; immediately after, the screen continued to display:

[Congratulations to the host for receiving an asset reward: Yuanda Logistics in Sichuan Province (wholly-owned acquisition).]

[Due to a system BUG causing damage to the host's interests and limiting returns, a one-time R6-level mission reward is hereby granted.]

[Reward settlement complete. Congratulations to the host for receiving a cash reward of RMB 500 million.]

"Ding!"

"Your account 31B500,000,000.00 yuan, the balance after the transaction is 1,041,318,720.70 yuan [China Merchants Bank]."

[Congratulations to the host for receiving an asset reward: Hongxing Group in Sichuan Province (wholly-owned acquisition).]

[The system is about to enter an upgrade state. The upgrade cycle was originally scheduled for one month, but due to the large amount of energy consumed by this system patch, it is estimated to be delayed until October 10th before restarting. During this period, the connection mission release module will be suspended, while side missions will continue to run.]

[Before the system upgrade, a long-term main mission reward will be issued in advance: one Intermediate Connection Editor Card.]

Su Ye was startled; he still had many questions he hadn't asked yet.

"5"

"Hey, System, wait a minute!"

"4"

"System, hold on."

"3"

"System, what is this Connection Editor Card?"

"2"

"System!!!"

The blue light screen in front of Su Ye disappeared. Su Ye's eyes reddened, and he covered his face with his large hands, saying in a low voice:

"System, System, how can I live without you, System?"

"Wuwuwu... Hehehe, hahahaha, one billion! A whole billion! And two companies!"

Su Ye let go of his hands, his face beaming with joy.

"Parting blooms like a flower—"

The phone rang. Seeing the name Zhou Changxing displayed on it, Su Ye understood; he had just deposited one billion, so how could the bank not ask about it?

Answering the call, Zhou Changxing's slightly anxious voice came through:

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but the head office really did call me just now. Your account suddenly received a remittance of one billion from an overseas foundation. Do you know about this matter?"

Su Ye understood; a sudden large influx of overseas funds would certainly attract the attention of the national system.

However, Su Ye trusted the system. If the System didn't even have this much capability, it shouldn't be a System anymore; it might as well go be an AI that sings, dances, and plays basketball—at least it would have practiced for two and a half years.

"Don't worry, President Zhou. The funds are absolutely fine; let them check whatever they want."

Hearing Su Ye's relaxed tone, Zhou Changxing breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows how panicked he was when the head office called earlier. He then cautiously probed:

"Alright, Mr. Su. I certainly trust that you're fine. I even retorted to the people at the head office right then and there; Mr. Su's character is a gold-plated signboard to me. However, this fund—"

Su Ye curled his lip in disdain. 'My name is your gold-plated signboard'? So thick-skinned. But he said aloud:

"Thank you for your trust, President Zhou. As for these funds, let's keep them at China Merchants Bank for now; I might use some later. Oh, right, President Zhou, please trouble yourself to raise my card limit again."

Zhou Changxing's happy, aged face was full of wrinkles as he patted his chest and said:

"No problem, Mr. Su. I'll handle it for you first thing tomorrow morning and upgrade your new card to our highest specification at China Merchants Bank."

Su Ye thought for a moment and said:

"Just have Gu Qingyan bring it to me tomorrow."

Zhou Changxing made up his mind. Before Su Ye, Gu Qingyan was just 'Little Gu', but now with Su Ye, a big shot, Gu Qingyan would be like a 'grand-aunt' in the future—the kind you have to serve carefully.

"No problem, no problem, Mr. Su. I'll arrange it right now."

Hanging up the phone, Su Ye looked at the long string of numbers in his bank account and suddenly felt a bit bored. Having a lot of money is just like that, isn't it?

He then began to look at the information on the two companies provided by the System before it disappeared.

[Yuanda Logistics in Sichuan Province: In the logistics sector of Sichuan Province, Yuanda Logistics has a market value of up to 2.3 billion yuan and is one of the top ten logistics companies in Sichuan Province.

The company was officially founded in 2000. Its business scope includes express delivery and freight across nearly 1,000 outlets in the province, with over 2,000 delivery vehicles. It has storage centers with a total area of over 500,000 square meters, possesses comprehensive cold chain logistics, and its service scope covers agricultural products, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and many other fields. It has 5 large transit centers, over 5,000 employees, and more than 3,000 various transport vehicles.]

Su Ye knew about Yuanda Logistics. Mainly because Su Ye's hometown was rich in fruit, and Yuanda Logistics basically contracted more than 80% of the fruit transport. Every fruit picking season, you could see Yuanda trucks everywhere. To tell a joke, after Su Ye graduated, he even wanted to get a heavy-vehicle driver's license and join Yuanda Logistics as a truck driver. There was no other reason than that the salary and benefits were good: social insurance and housing fund, long-distance subsidies, meal subsidies, housing subsidies, etc. The salary was also high, basically reaching 11,000 to 12,000 yuan in hand. He didn't expect that instead of becoming a driver, heh, he became the boss.

Su Ye then looked at the Hongxing Group below.

[Hongxing Group in Sichuan Province: The largest chain supermarket group enterprise in Sichuan Province, with a market value of 2.5 billion yuan, it is one of the top ten chain supermarkets in Sichuan Province.

The company was officially founded in 1995 and has over 2 million registered members. Hongxing Chain is positioned to have both "community supermarket + convenience store" functions. It not only sells goods but also provides more than 80 value-added services such as top-ups and utility bill payments. Stores are usually located in prime urban areas or business districts with development potential. The company has a total of 1,639 stores. Its supply chain system is complete, and it has established good cooperative relationships with thousands of suppliers.]

Hongxing Supermarket, huh? There was one in the residential complex in Su Ye's hometown. The service attitude was quite good, and the goods were relatively complete. Su Ye's family often bought things there. Well, now it's also one of the companies under Su Ye's banner.

Su Ye did a rough calculation. He now had Future Technology, Hongxing Group, and Yuanda Logistics. Added together, the market value could reach over 5 billion yuan. He also had over 1 billion yuan in cash flow, so his total assets were definitely over 6 billion yuan. Calling himself a new business magnate wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Moreover, Future Technology, Hongxing Group, and Yuanda Logistics could all engage in deep cooperation. Future Technology could provide internet technology support such as intelligence and system R&D, while Hongxing Supermarket and Yuanda Logistics could complement each other. Calculated this way, the two might not necessarily fail to compete for the number one spot in the province later on.

Compared to the other two, what was more important for Future Technology was its potential to exert power later on; its ceiling was far higher than the other two. Especially now, with the two cash cows of the supermarket and logistics providing a continuous blood transfusion, Su Ye believed that Future Technology would develop very quickly.
