Chapter 162: Progress

The establishment and maintenance of the laboratory has already become a significant expense.

The scholarship, or rather the whole event, will also not be cheap.

Most importantly, there will be new students every year, and such activities will be held every year.

In other words, this is a continuous, quick-yield activity.

Up to now, Lu Yu has already contributed a great deal to Ke Da, and it's been enormous.

Leading the computer lab team to win the International Network Security Competition, helping Professor Chen complete the firewall's structure and innovation, building a laboratory for Ke Da, and now……

To be honest, Old Li now doesn't dare to accept Lu Yu's favor.

But……

A university's expenditures are truly too much; Old Li dares not and cannot arbitrarily allocate school resources.

This involves balance, stability, and development.

A university's operation is absolutely not simpler than that of a large corporation; the matters and things involved are countless.

"Leave the financial matters to me; as for specific operations, I'll have A Jie pay more attention."

"Of course, Grandpa Li, you'd better also send someone trustworthy to help keep an eye on things."

Lu Yu said as such.

As of now, Lu Yu's cash is actually not much left.

Xiao Min wanted to realize the chainization of Moyuwangka, opening several stores at once, and the expenses involved are not small.

Adding the previous investment in the laboratory, it's absolutely an astronomical figure.

Grand is indeed still helping Lu Yu save money, but Penguin…… actually hasn't achieved profitability, not even breaking even.

However, for the Freshman Competition, Lu Yu can still scrape together these funds.

"A Jie? Who is A Jie? Someone from your team?" Old Li's focus is a bit different.

"He's a student union cadre from Ke Da, currently helping me organize the Freshman Competition; his ability is not bad." Lu Yu answered casually.

Old Li: ……

Lu Yu just handed over such an important matter to a student?

But Old Li also didn't know what to say, after all, the money came from Lu Yu.

Later, I should still personally look into who this A Jie is.

Lu Yu then chatted with Old Li for a while before leaving.

After Lu Yu left, Old Li immediately summoned the leader in charge of the student union.

What Old Li didn't expect was that the leader in charge of the student union didn't even have any impression of A Jie.

Afterwards, Old Li was busy for a while before finally figuring out A Jie's identity.

Just an ordinary student union cadre, and moreover, one with no hope of promotion!

So…… Lu Yu just trusted A Jie so casually?

Then……

Old Li looked into it a bit, and learned the details of how Lu Yu would have A Jie help.

This understanding truly made Old Li furious.

He almost wanted to directly lay hands on the leader in charge of the student union!

Lu Yu helps Ke Da selflessly, but what are the people at Ke Da doing?

Not being grateful is bad enough, but they actually make things difficult for Lu Yu?

That damn Huang Musen really deserves to die!

However, Old Li quickly calmed down.

After all, this is a student matter; the principal himself stepping in is not appropriate.

This is actually a bit like a squabble between kids; when adults intervene, it ends up making the kids lose face.

Old Li decided to first wait and see, to observe whether Lu Yu could handle this matter well, and whether Huang Musen would still do something out of line.

……

Lu Yu once again came to the Moyuwangka flagship store.

Inside the flagship store, there wasn't much change, except that there were a few more people.

According to Xiao Min, these people are here for training.

Soon, they will become Moyu cadres and be assigned to various branches.

Right, thanks to Xiao Min's efforts, Moyuwangka now has eight branch stores!

These eight stores will each open in the coming two weeks.

Listening to Xiao Min's report and observing the situation in the flagship store, Lu Yu couldn't help but again marvel that Xiao Min is truly an excellent manager.

After Xiao Min finished her report, Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Min, this afternoon I'll have someone come over to connect with you."

"Ah?" Xiao Min froze, "Connect? Did I do something wrong? Boss…… are you going to fire me?"

"I'll give you twenty percent of the shares of Moyuwangka."

"Of course, there is a cost."

"You need to sign a three-year contract with me. Within those three years, you must work only at Moyuwangka."

Lu Yu looked at Xiao Min seriously and said.

Xiao Min…… was speechless, her whole body trembling.

Happiness…… came too suddenly, too intensely!

Xiao Min's treatment at Moyuwangka is actually already very good.

In terms of income, compared to classmates who now seem to be doing quite well, Xiao Min's is not just double or triple.

More importantly, those classmates in big companies actually… can't be autonomous in anything they do, and sometimes they can't even have their own ideas.

But what about her?

She does whatever she wants to do, and does it however she wants to!

Now…

Lu Yu actually said he'd give him twenty percent of the shares?

Because Moyuwangka was built by Xiao Min with her own two hands, Xiao Min knows all too well how terrifying its current total value is.

Even some famous companies in Mo Du might not be able to compare with Moyuwangka!

"Is three years too long?" Lu Yu's face showed hesitation.

He also knew what three years meant for a fresh graduate—a period full of possibilities.

But for Moyuwangka to achieve nationwide chain status, three years might not be enough!

"No no no! Boss! Don't talk about three years—even thirty years would be fine!" Xiao Min hurriedly said.

Lu Yu froze for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

…

In the following days, nothing else happened.

The Freshman Competition at Ke Da went smoothly.

Thanks to A Jie's efforts, the number of freshmen who signed up had already reached a terrifying figure.

But this is actually also a problem.

Although the lab was already big, it couldn't accommodate all the freshmen.

Lu Yu could only have Lao Li invite more teachers and professors to teach these freshmen in batches.

Thus, the lab now resembles a public classroom more than anything.

As for Moyuwangka, with Xiao Min there, nothing will go wrong.

As for Penguin, Xiao Ma said he's researching some new things to increase user stickiness.

According to Xiao Ma, he'll open a personal homepage for Penguin similar to a scarf.

As soon as Lu Yu heard it, he knew this would become the Penguin Space that every Penguin user would later use.

Xiao Ma also said that once the Penguin Space stabilizes, he'll roll out a membership system.

These things will be completed in the coming months.

Lu Yu, regarding this…… didn't know what to say.

Once Penguin's members appear, Penguin will grow its wealth in an explosive way, becoming a true colossus in the shortest time.
