I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Su Mo gently shook his head.

"The authorities don't really want to completely block the path for private factories; they'll probably turn a blind eye in this situation."

The two nodded.

Yan Shudao said, "Actually, everyone knows that the government won't really let all the current private factories go bankrupt. They will definitely introduce policies to support them later, but we can't be sure about the timing, and there's no news coming out."

"Some factories with operational flaws may not be able to last long."

Seeing Su Mo looking at him suspiciously, Yan Shu quickly explained, "The manufacturers I found are definitely not like that. It's just that everyone wants to resolve the relocation issue as soon as possible and not cause trouble for the authorities."

Yan Shu was naturally considering the families that had close ties with the Yan and Zhang families. The reason he talked so much with Su Mo was simply to get production guarantees from Su Mo.

And many other things were beyond his capabilities.

Now that he has obtained Su Mo's consent, he has achieved most of the purpose of meeting Su Mo today. As for Zhou Wei's matter, he can only accept it.

If Su Mo were to leave the development company to him and let him handle it, Yan Shu would naturally take over immediately. However, Su Mo did not completely ignore the matter and still had someone keep an eye on it, so Yan Shu had no grounds to object.

After clarifying the main issues, the three then discussed in detail the types of minerals to be developed on Phobos and the general plans for the new company after its establishment.

The morning passed quickly.

As for Yan Shu and Su Mo, she didn't mention the academy's relocation for the time being, because she herself wasn't entirely sure whether the academy could be relocated smoothly.

If it goes smoothly, then it's not too late to tell the two of them.

She can move their factory there at the same time, which is one of the benefits of becoming partners with Su Mo.

At this time, Yan Shu and his companion had no idea that the academy was about to be relocated. In their view, the academy was not within the scope of the Blue Star Protection Plan and its main campus was not on Blue Star, so there was no need for it to participate in the relocation.

The three of them had lunch on the spot.

The lunch that Wu Shun had specially arranged was exceptionally good, with dish after dish being served. There was even a dish that was considered a delicacy, which surprised Su Mo slightly.

Although the effects of this premium dish were only so-so, it was undeniable that it did have some effect; Su Mo rarely ate premium dishes outside the academy.

Undeniably, the chefs Wu Shun found were all extremely skilled; Song Yi was also found with Wu Shun's help.

"Not bad, right?" Wu Shun asked with a smile.

He was observing Su Mo's reaction.

"Yes, Angkor's chefs are always quite good."

Wu Shun laughed heartily before saying, "I managed to snag today's master; he's a graduate of your academy, Xiao Su."

Su Mo paused for a moment, then smiled as well.

"The Academy Chamber of Commerce will soon be selling some seasoning sets produced by Song Yi. Using them in cooking can greatly increase the probability of getting top-quality ingredients. Brother Wu can buy some and try them out."

The new formula was prepared by Song Yi while accompanying her on a business trip. However, Su Mo didn't pay much attention to it after returning and didn't know why it wasn't on sale yet. But since the formula was already made, it was definitely going to be sold.

Everyone is short of points, and Song Yi is no exception.

He mixes the ingredients and sells them, keeping all the profits except for a share given to the Chamber of Commerce.

This is how he earns points, so he can't possibly not use it.

Many high-end hotels and restaurants in Xia Kingdom still maintain their high status in the industry, and they have invested heavily in their dishes. Xia Man is one of them.

After the meal, Su Mo had to say goodbye and leave, as she had another appointment with Xia Man in another private room.

"From now on, I'll need your continued support regarding the company's affairs. If there's anything Zhou Wei could improve on, please offer some pointers," Su Mo said.

She was mainly busy with the preliminary preparations, and Su Mo would hardly care about it afterward. Just like the academy, Xu Li and Zhou Wei were now in charge of most of the decisions.

The academy has established a proper operating procedure, and Su Mo will not interfere in its management unless there is an important event.

"Xiao Su, you're too kind. You're helping us earn points, of course we'll take it to heart, don't worry," Wu Shun said with a smile.

He patted his increasingly round belly twice.

Yan Shu also expressed his support, saying he would definitely help Su Mo keep an eye on the company.

As for offering advice to Zhou Wei, he didn't respond. They would only intervene when the company faced a major crisis. Otherwise, if they offered advice on every little thing, Zhou Wei would think they were being nosy.

After the meal, Yan Shu had a change of heart. He had previously wanted to control the company's sales allocation authority, but Su Mo had already reached an agreement with the officials. Those ideas were just greed on his part, which was unacceptable.

"After that, Zhou Wei will take over the company registration and other related matters. I'm heading out to Huowei in the next couple of days to finalize things."

"If you still have any questions about the bidding process, you can also contact Zhou Wei to discuss them."

"Okay, don't worry, we will prepare as soon as possible."

They both thought that they would raise the points as soon as possible to finalize the shareholding.

After giving his instructions, Su Mo left.

We went downstairs to another private room.

Yin Liu and Cao Duoduo were already waiting here; they had just had lunch here.

Even the dishes were the same as those for Su Mo and the others, which was specially arranged by Wu Shun.

When Xia Man has special guests, the manager always informs Wu Shun. Besides, Wu Shun himself is here today. He knew yesterday that Su Mo had invited more than just himself and Lao Yan today.

Wu Shun knew Yin Liu and Cao Duoduo, and knew that they were awakened individuals whom Su Mo had favored many years ago, as well as outstanding graduates of the academy.

Since he was here to meet Su Mo, Wu Shun naturally wouldn't be stingy.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Manager Wu led Su Mo in.

Cao Duoduo and the other person immediately got up to greet them.

The three exchanged a few pleasantries and then sat down on the sofa.

Su Mo sat alone, while the other two sat beside him.

Cao Duoduo hadn't sat down and talked with the principal in a long time. After Su Mo returned from his disappearance, they had met a few times, but it was always in a hurry.

By now, Yin Liu and the principal have known each other for over ten years; time really flies.

Over the years, Cao Duoduo would occasionally lament that if his father hadn't risked his life to send him to that secret desert realm, he wouldn't have been able to latch onto Su Mo's powerful backer, nor would he have met Yin Liu.

He even felt a little grateful for this.

This change in mindset meant that when he later dealt with the mess left by the Cao family, he didn't make things too difficult for the remaining members of the Cao family. Of course, he simply ignored them.
