I'm afraid they might cause trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fourth child of the Shen family?\" Chu Zheng asked, \"Shen Zhongtian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi nodded, \"Yes, that's him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng said, \"That SOB, why is he everywhere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monkey said, \"It's fine. With us few around, what are we afraid of him for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi nodded, and then he introduced Su Xinghui and Monkey to each other's identities. It turned out that Monkey's name was Han Xiangdong. He had been very thin as a child, which was how he got this nickname. Although he had grown up to be increasingly handsome, he still couldn't shake off the nickname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiangdong was, of course, also a third-generation red descendant, and his family's power was also very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to say with such confidence that he wasn't afraid of Shen Zhongtian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few sat down, started drinking tea, and chatting. Su Xinghui introduced the Shangjun County Changjiangdaqiao project to Chu Zheng and Han Xiangdong. Upon hearing that this project was locally funded and did not require central government appropriations, both Chu Zheng and Han Xiangdong called it easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the central government, such infrastructure projects that did not require their capital investment but could have a significant impact on local economic development were always welcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even for such projects, running them through successfully wasn't that simple; one still had to beg and plead. Without the help of such top-tier princelings, Su Xinghui would likely have to expend a great deal of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only variable now might be Tian Xiaopeng. Working at the State Planning Commission, how much influence could he actually exert on this matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Shen Zhongtian was certainly a princeling of the same level as Yu Ruizhi and the others. Whether he would take action to obstruct Su Xinghui's project was also an unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking a few cups of tea, Yu Ruizhi made another phone call, this time to a buddy of his who worked at the State Planning Commission. He asked that buddy to come directly to Yu Ruoqiu's private kitchen restaurant for dinner after getting off work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruoqiu's private kitchen restaurant was clearly quite famous in the circle of princelings in Jingcheng, and the other party agreed immediately upon hearing the location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tea at Yu Ruoqiu's place was also quite good. The few drank tea, chatted, and talked, making the time pass quite pleasantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng asked, \"Erzi, you're currently doing tourism development in Shangjun County. How is the situation now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiangdong said, \"Yeah, if there's an opportunity to make a fortune, don't forget your brothers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi said, \"Tourism development is indeed a good industry, and the prospects are quite good. Isn't the country going to implement the two-day weekend system this year? With more rest days, there will definitely be more and more tourists, and the income will get higher and higher!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng asked, \"Then can we also go and do tourism development?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi said, \"Doing this business requires a lot of capital. You might be a bit short right now, but if you join forces and find a few more wealthy friends, it should be about right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiangdong asked, \"How much money did you invest in tourism development in Shangjun County?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi said, \"85 million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng clicked his tongue, \"85 million? A single county requires that much investment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi said, \"You think this little money is enough? It's estimated that the income for the next few years will have to be continuously reinvested. Only when the tourism market there is fully developed will it truly be the harvest season.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng and Han Xiangdong looked at each other and shook their heads. Although they did some business, their families were relatively strict and did not allow them to act recklessly. Their expenses were also high, so the most they could scrape together was a few million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few million was considered wealthy in this day and age, but it was far from enough to invest in this tourism industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi asked, \"How much money can you come up with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng said, \"I can come up with at most two million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiangdong said, \"I'm about the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi said, \"Adding up to four million, it's a bit low; even if you buy shares, you won't get much. However, there are ways even with a small amount. You can ask Su Xinghui and let him give you an idea; he has many ideas for making money. The idea for us to develop the tourism industry was his.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng asked, \"Really? Su Xinghui, what good ideas do you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ways to make a fortune? Upon being asked this, Su Xinghui remembered an opportunity to make a fortune right now. He asked, \"Brother Little Five, Brother Monkey, do you collect stamps?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Collect stamps?\" Chu Zheng and Han Xiangdong looked at each other in dismay. Chu Zheng said, \"I have collected stamps, but does collecting stamps have anything to do with making a fortune?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled slightly, \"Since you collect stamps, you must know that the market for stamps hasn't been very good these past few years, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng nodded, \"Yes, I have heard of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, \"I estimate that there will be a good market trend after the New Year this year. Some good stamps will increase in price by at least several times. If you put all the funds you can spare into the market, I estimate you could double or triple your money in a month or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng was somewhat dumbfounded, \"How do you know there will be a good market trend after the New Year this year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Su Xinghui know? He had, of course, heard it from Hou Dali. Hou Dali said that the stamp market had been in a slump for three or four years and it was time for a rebound; this was the principle that things turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just Hou Dali's speculation. Hou Dali was deeply immersed in stamp collecting, and he had also seen news in recent newspapers and stamp collecting magazines that the state would introduce measures to rescue the stamp market, which were estimated to be implemented after the New Year this year. After such rescue measures were implemented, there would generally be a one- or two-month explosive market trend before it slowly stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui naturally believed the words of an expert like Hou Dali, and relying on his own memories of stamp collecting from his previous life, he also had some impressions of this good stamp market trend. With the two confirming each other, he naturally confirmed that Hou Dali's words were correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hou Dali told him this news, originally wanting him to take this opportunity to sell off the stamps he had previously bought from him. If the price could increase several times, that would be over a hundred thousand, which was not a small profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Su Xinghui would certainly not sell these stamps. These stamps were all carefully selected by him from Hou Dali's place, and they would be worth hundreds or even thousands of times more in the future. How could he care about a mere hundred thousand at this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telling Chu Zheng and Han Xiangdong this news was fine. If they made money, their relationship with Su Xinghui would naturally become even better, and they would naturally be more motivated to help Su Xinghui run the project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled, \"I collect stamps myself, so I have some research on the stamp market. If you trust me, hurry up and take out your funds now and buy stamps with all of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Weidong asked skeptically, \"Any stamp will do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1335,"2026-06-16T17:50:43.208Z","2026-06-16T17:54:34.477Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9f3ee9339f5ed88fe4f048d0de4c2a93eededd40f31ce485e97270f5dc10b462","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-552","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-550",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
