116: Chapter 116 Let’s Raise Pigs 116: Chapter 116 Let’s Raise Pigs Zhao Guang quickly checked and ultimately found that farming wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Aside from other issues, trying to plant on a large scale in the country involved too many complications. The most crucial issue was that it didn’t seem to affect many people, and it was too slow. Therefore, another method had to be found. “Could it really be necessary to start a factory? But I have no experience in that area either.” “Wait, maybe this could work,” Zhao Guang suddenly had an interesting idea. Then, Zhao Guang skillfully dialed a phone number using his lips, calling his roommate Liu Jiayin. “Is that you, Xiao Guang? Why are you calling me so late? Let’s get one thing straight, forget about borrowing money; I’m barely managing to take care of myself.” Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Guang’s lips curled into a smile. Four years of sharing a dorm, and these were truly his brothers. Liu Jiayin ranked second in age in their dorm and came from the same province as him; they had the best relationship. The reason was simple: both of them came from the countryside with similar family backgrounds. However, Liu Jiayin’s family was even poorer than his own, truly coming from humble beginnings. “Jiajia, are you still busy with renovations? There’s a good opportunity, do you want in?” “Don’t call me Jiajia; use my real name.” “Alright Jiajia, hurry up and tell me your idea.” A vein popped on Liu Jiayin’s forehead and vanished as quickly as it appeared; he was used to this guy’s antics. “What else could I do if not renovations? I can only stick with this job now. Anyway, what’s this good opportunity you mentioned? If it’s not suitable, I’d rather keep on as I am, you know how the prices for renovations have been rising recently.” Despite the good business, Liu Jiayin’s tone didn’t carry a trace of joy. Liu Jiayin studied agriculture, entirely different from the other three in the dorm. He ended up in the dorm through a random allocation of living quarters. Zhao Guang always knew that Liu Jiayin wanted to study agriculture to help lift his hometown out of poverty. But reality slapped him hard; change was never that easy. His province was mountainous with very poor transportation. Nearly all able-bodied men had left. So Liu Jiayin ultimately realized he could do nothing even if he returned home. For a livelihood, he had no choice but to stay elsewhere doing renovations. Over the years, he barely managed to make ends meet. Even bringing his elderly parents out of his hometown was an unfulfilled wish. Zhao Guang hadn’t approached him before because he knew offering any other job would hurt his pride. This time, Zhao Guang thought of this approach because he wanted to cover himself with gold. “Let’s go into pig farming, right in your hometown.” “What are you babbling about, pig farming? Do you know how much that costs? Besides, do you even understand these things?” “I might not, but you do, right? You’re not going to let all that learning go to waste, are you? While it’s still fresh from graduation, put it to use.” “You can’t be serious. How much investment can you even secure? Very few would invest in this.” Zhao Guang straightforwardly said, “One hundred million as an initial investment shouldn’t be a problem, right?” “A hundred million? Did you strike it rich?” Liu Jiayin was convinced that Zhao Guang was just messing with him. “Don’t believe it? I’ll send you a photo to see.” Zhao Guang opened his bank statement and realized he had over two billion. He hadn’t checked in a while; his sister had been transferring funds, and he didn’t expect it to be so much. “Take a look for yourself, it’s two billion now. How about it, is that enough?” “Nice Photoshop, alright, stop joking. I’m beat today, and I have to keep at it tomorrow.” Zhao Guang was a bit speechless. Was it so unbelievable that he had come into wealth? With that thought, he decisively sent a video call, eliminating any doubts. Soon, Zhao Guang could see Liu Jiayin’s somewhat weary face. It was evident that the guy was really exhausted recently. “Take a look, see whether I’m Photoshopping.” As Liu Jiayin watched, his expression became odd. “It’s actually true. I can’t believe out of everyone in our dorm, you were the first to get rich. Even Fu Gui can’t match up to you now.” Li Fugui was the oldest in their dorm, and for him, attending school was just a process. Right after graduation, he leveraged family connections to get into the banking system. Being from the big city himself, he had the best economic background among them. But even with a well-off family, it was improbable to match Zhao Guang’s fortune overnight. “So, are we settled now? I did my research; we go to your province, start the pig farm, and hire locals to work for us. Regarding selling the meat, we open a few stores in Yu City first, then sell it at low prices. What do you think of this strategy?” All of these were ideas Zhao Guang came up with after scouring various materials and maps. “You’re not actually considering this, are you? Take my advice, it’s really not necessary. Two billion may seem like a lot, but achieving success in this field is virtually impossible.” After a moment’s reflection, Liu Jiayin added, “I’ve studied all that you mentioned, and it’s not that easy in reality. The local big shots are too powerful; entering this industry isn’t simple.” “So you’ve studied it? That’s great; there’s absolutely no problem, then. It’s decided.” “You’re just stubborn, aren’t you? You finally came into money, and now you want to waste it all?” Seeing Liu Jiayin getting slightly angry, Zhao Guang said nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter; right now, money is just a number to me. Even if I lose it all, it’s fine; I have other sources of income.” Now, Liu Jiayin hesitated, “So, you’re serious?” Unable to help it, Liu Jiayin’s mind still clung to the dream of developing his hometown. He’d never forgotten it. There was no opportunity before, but now things were different. Still, he worried about the loss. It would feel like letting his brother down. “Seriously, my main business now is in the gold industry, working directly with banks.” “Working with banks? How about this, I’ll call Fu Gui, and we can meet up tomorrow.” Zhao Guang thought it over and agreed, “Alright then, we’ll meet up tomorrow to discuss this in detail.” Neither of them had left the city, and as for Fu Gui, he had been unexpectedly relocated here a few days ago for some work, so he was nearby. All it took was a turn around the corner for him to join them. With today’s matters nearly settled, Zhao Guang opened the Space Gate to the other side for one last cultivation session, then returned home to rest. The next day, in addition to cultivation, there was the new task of doing mathematics.
