There was no helping it; these were the troubles he had brought upon himself, and now, even if he had to crawl, he had to follow through. He had to learn not only about management but also to continue studying mathematics. He even needed to schedule his cultivation trips to the Otherworld carefully, fearing that he would lose track of time and not be able to find his way back. There was no helping it; these past two days, Li Fugui was constantly adjusting some internal matters of the bank and temporarily had not sought Zhao Guang’s assistance, but Liu Jiayin was a different story. Liu Jiayin was also constantly learning and then went back to his hometown to conduct inspections. He didn’t return directly to his residence because that area was deeper inland and communication with the outside world was more difficult. The entry point that Liu Jiayin found was in the more remote regions of their province. However, he had to call Zhao Guang every day to understand some matters because, without consultation, Liu Jiayin himself felt uncertain. Although Zhao Guang wanted to offload these tasks, seeing Liu Jiayin’s exhausted appearance made it difficult for him to disregard his feelings. This fellow was truly breaking his heart over his hometown. Well then, it’s just a bit of a hassle, isn’t it? If all else fails, he could just go to the Otherworld to sleep at night. After all, everyone nearby was one of his own people, so there was definitely no one who would harm him there. But what Zhao Guang hadn’t expected was that the tasks kept increasing and started to encroach on his evenings. With no other choice, Zhao Guang had to contact his sister and explain to her the businesses he had recently started. “Big sis, you have to help me out. Just directly supervise the company; I can’t handle all that myself.” “Oh, I never thought you’d finally start taking care of real business,” Zhao Yan’s voice rang out. “What do you mean by that? It’s not like I don’t handle serious matters.” “What serious matters have you handled before? You’ve just been buying things, and it’s always some weird stuff. By the way, I’ve gathered almost all the art and math books you wanted. It’s just a few hard-to-find ones that will need some more time.” Zhao Guang’s eyes lit up, “Send them all over to me then. The rest can be collected gradually; it’s not like I need to use them all at once.” “And those art-related ones, it’s not easy to collect everything; there are too many.” “That’s a long-term project, and I can accumulate them gradually. I couldn’t possibly use that many anyway,” he reasoned. Zhao Guang thought it over and concluded that he didn’t need to receive everything in large batches; just a bit at a time would suffice. Otherwise, even if there was an abundance of art pieces here, there would only be so many types of art, and eventually, he would run out of items to offer, which would be problematic. Ocoro was an excellent trading partner; he definitely couldn’t afford to have any slip-ups here. “All right, you’ve mentioned some good deeds worth doing. Are you sure you can manage it all by yourself?” “Isn’t making money about giving back to society? Besides, if we don’t do it, won’t we be in danger too?” “It’s very good that you think this way, but let’s not discuss these things over the phone.” Are we being this cautious now? Zhao Guang wondered if his sister was overreacting. But then again, it’s better to be safe than sorry, and he decided to be more careful himself. “I understand. By the way, how are things going with the factory?” “You mean the factory that can produce bows and arrows? It’s ready to go, but we don’t need to handle it ourselves. Is it okay to let your brother-in-law take over with his prop workshop?” “Of course, that’s not a problem.” His sister was always so cautious. Was it really necessary? Since his brother-in-law was more suitable for the task, he might as well take it over; Zhao Guang wasn’t the type to begrudge his relatives for benefiting. Of course, this was mainly because his own family members were not like those people one sees in the news. “Then there’s no problem. I’ve already secured the crystal sugar factory you wanted. If the quantities aren’t large, a small factory will suffice. As for the tricycle, I’ve gone ahead and acquired the tractor factory as well.” Zhao Guang had plenty of money in his account, and the company’s account wasn’t short on funds either, so they could certainly afford these expenses. Zhao Guang nodded slightly. Sugar was a key focus going forward, and if possible, he definitely wanted to expand the scale of trade. As for the tricycle, Zhao Guang could see that the people there probably had a strong interest in this kind of tool too. It wasn’t that they couldn’t make it; in fact, asking their Alchemists to create them wouldn’t be difficult. But if they wanted to produce them on a large scale, that was something they couldn’t achieve. And besides, an Alchemist’s time was too precious to be spent making a few tricycles; that would be a sheer waste. The advantages of an industrial society couldn’t always be filled by sheer strength alone. Last were the various cold weapons; it looked like the fighting might continue in the south. The Otherworld was certainly not a peaceful world. So, was he becoming an arms dealer? Shaking his head firmly, Zhao Guang gave it some careful thought and seemed to find nothing else to worry about for the moment. “I don’t have anything else, so I’m hanging up,” he said. “Wait a minute, you might not have any issues, but I do. You haven’t looked over the Amber designs recently. To think you don’t know anything about your own company’s business, how am I supposed to speak to you?” “Designs? I don’t understand that stuff anyway, isn’t it just polishing a bit, or at most, carving a little.” “You make it sound so simple, but shouldn’t you at least get a basic understanding? I’ll send you some samples later; take a look for yourself. You don’t need to send these samples back, just keep them on your side to help improve your aesthetic sense.” “Really? Keeping them at my place, aren’t you worried about burglars sneaking in?” Zhao Yan spoke disdainfully, “Let them come if they are going to, haven’t you heard that this stuff retains its value? Ordinary Amber, what would they steal it for, anyway? Even if they wanted to sell it, there’s nowhere to sell it.” Is that so? Zhao Guang widened his eyes, somewhat puzzled. If these things didn’t retain their value, why would other people still buy them and flock to them so eagerly? What was going on with the world, and why was it so different from what he understood? Unable to figure it out, Zhao Guang decided not to dwell on it; best to just go with the market flow. After all, how did it concern him? “Alright, I get it, send them over then. Make it quick, I’ve got other things to attend to later.” After speaking, Zhao Guang continued to study his mathematics. Or rather, he had already begun to construct models using mathematical methods. Having learned specific mathematical formulas based on the problem, the once complex model was gradually simplifying before Zhao Guang’s eyes. Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Guang seemed to have found a kind of joy in it—not the joy of mathematics, but the joy of magic, the joy of finally being able to improve himself. Of course, it was hard to say how long Zhao Guang would maintain this interest.
