Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

As Wu Yun and the others emerged from the private room, Wei Wu, who had been resting nearby, immediately stood up and followed them.

"If we walk over to change now, our food will be mostly digested, so it won’t be a problem for the hot springs." Wang Gang was explaining primarily for Wu Yun and Zhang Cheng’s benefit, as the rest of them had been here countless times and knew the place inside and out.

This five-star hotel had truly taken its hot spring development to the next level. It featured a massive, indoor, climate-controlled scenic pool, as well as 50 unique, fully-ecological outdoor spring-fed pools.

Wang Gang had booked one of the outdoor pools, which could hold up to ten people and came with individual changing rooms for everyone.

As Wu Yun shed his robe and prepared to get into the water, Wang Gang and the others glanced down at their own protruding potbellies, then over at Wu Yun’s washboard abs, his well-developed chest, and the bulge in his swim trunks.

"Holy crap! Young Master Wu! We’re never going to a hot spring with you again! I feel so inadequate standing next to you," Cao Junlong said with a dramatic flair. "Good thing there aren’t any girls here today, or you’d steal them all away!"

The other four men nodded in agreement.

Wang Gang got a nostalgic look on his face. "I used to be just like Young Master Wu! Had a six-pack and everything! The girls at our school couldn’t keep their hands off me!"

Li Dongliang, who had been perfectly calm, rolled his eyes the moment Wang Gang finished speaking. "Cut the crap. You think I don’t know you? You were just skinny back then! The only thing the girls couldn’t keep their hands off was your wallet!"

Zhang Cheng pushed up the glasses fogging on his nose. "Ah, to be young again!"

Wu Yun said smugly, "This is the result of hard work and dedication! I’m at the boxing gym at least four times a week!"

Wang Gang sighed. "I hired a personal trainer once, but I gave up after a short while! There are just too many temptations out there, and working out is so boring!"

But Wu Yun’s next words had them all slapping their thighs. "You should’ve hired a hot female trainer. Good for the eyes and good for your workout."

It was a wake-up call. Wang Gang lamented, "How could I have been so dense! I should’ve thought of that back then! But no, I had to listen to that trainer who said getting ripped would attract more women! Oh, my wasted youth!"

Cao Junlong then quipped, "If Old Wang hired a female trainer, he’d probably just get skinnier and skinnier from all the ’working out’!"

"HAHAHAHA~"

...

Seeing everyone laughing at him, Wang Gang’s expression turned serious. "Alright! Let’s get back to business! The total investment amount has been confirmed! And the initial investment will be what we agreed on."

Seeing Wang Gang get down to business, everyone stopped smiling and listened intently. "We just agreed that I’ll be the legal representative. As for the shares, they’ll be distributed as we discussed. Any objections?"

After everyone shook their heads, Wang Gang continued, "Our first step is to register the company and find a suitable site to build the factory."

At this, Li Dongliang smiled and said, "Finding a construction site should be easy. Because of the Rongcheng-Jingyang metropolitan integration plan, a lot of industrial parks are relocating to the surrounding suburban counties."

"If I remember correctly, the Jiguang County Economic Development Zone in Sichuan was approved by the provincial government in June of the year before last, and the Xinglong Industrial Park itself has been under construction since 2009."

"There are still large tracts of industrial land available there today! Transportation is also excellent! The Rongba Expressway opened there last year, which makes shipping materials and supplies very convenient."

Zhang Cheng wasn’t very familiar with Sichuan’s geography, so he was only concerned with one thing: "Will the water and power supply there be enough for production? After all, we’ll be a major consumer of both!"

Li Dongliang took a leisurely sip of the tea resting on the edge of the pool and said confidently, "Don’t worry about that. To support the industrial park, the local government ran a dedicated power line just for industrial use."

"There are two reservoirs within a five-kilometer radius of the industrial park, and the People’s Canal runs through it as well. Otherwise, why would Jiguang County have ever planned to build the industrial park in Xinglong?!"

Li Dongliang continued, "What’s more, the area has very few mountains and the land is flat, so construction won’t be difficult. That alone will save us a huge chunk of change."

’Looks like Li Dongliang has really put a lot of thought into this. He’s even picked out a spot already!’

"Old Li, besides the industrial park in Jiguang, are there any other options? We can’t put all our eggs in one basket, after all!" Wang Gang asked bluntly.

Li Dongliang leaned his head back against the edge of the pool. After a moment of silence, he looked up and said, "There are. Almost every city and county has plans for its own industrial park. Places like Steel City and Sui Ning have them."

"But after comparing all the options, the one in Jiguang County is still the best fit."

Li Dongliang then went on to describe and compare the data he had on several other industrial parks. After hearing him out, the group ultimately decided to scout out Jiguang County first.

If the conditions were good, they would buy the land, conduct a survey, hire a design firm to draw up blueprints, and then open it up for bids. The goal was to get the factory built and operational as quickly as possible.

Wu Yun estimated the entire process, from start to finish, would take at least six months.

’One step at a time,’ Wu Yun thought. He didn’t mention expanding production; it wasn’t too late to discuss that after they had some initial success.

"I can start contacting the equipment manufacturers now," Zhang Cheng interjected. "We can get the equipment production started, so once the factory is built, we can install it right away and get up and running."

"That means we’ll need to pay a deposit on the equipment."

Wang Gang gave Zhang Cheng a reassuring look. "I’ve got ten million on hand right now, and my dad can transfer the other forty million within two weeks. Young Master Wu’s funds are available whenever."

After speaking, Wang Gang stood up out of the water, about to give a rousing speech. But a sudden chill hit him, and he immediately sank back into the warm water. "Since we’re all on the same page, let’s split up and get to work after we head back today. Old Li, get me the contact info for the person in charge of that industrial park. I’ll go visit them directly next week."

"Old Ye! Once the business license is issued, we’re counting on you to handle all the various permits and certifications!"

Wang Gang’s gaze swept around the group, finally landing on Wu Yun. "Er... Young Master Wu, you just need to be ready with the money! And if you’re free, you can come with me to check out the site!"

Wu Yun nodded nonchalantly. "If I’m free, I can go take a look."

’Even though he had a lot of ventures in the works, most of his companies were still in their early stages and far from busy.’

’He felt he wasn’t far from having to take a leave of absence from school. With Pinduoduo launching at the beginning of next month, he was about to start a life of constant travel between three different cities.’

With business settled, everyone sank into a drowsy state, leaning back in the hot spring pool and comfortably enjoying its soothing warmth.

Suddenly, Cao Junlong blurted out, "Big mistake! We didn’t even call any girls to come! Are we, a bunch of grown men, really just going to sit here and soak all afternoon?"

"Young men! No girls, but we’ve got a few aunties!"
