Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Meng Chuan has too much money.

If we rely solely on supporting domestic enterprises, we simply won't be able to spend the money we have in the short term.

After all, that's over 200 trillion. Even if you spend it like crazy, you'd never finish it before you died.

But infrastructure is different.

A single hydroelectric power station could potentially require an investment exceeding one trillion yuan.

A single high-speed railway would cost several hundred billion yuan.

This kind of spending is efficient.

Moreover, as a reborn individual, Meng Chuan knew very well that...

With the rise of AI in the near future, future competition will no longer be limited to computing power.

Electricity will be a key factor in determining success or failure.

A stable and sufficient power supply is crucial for the development of the AI ​​industry.

The construction of large-scale hydropower stations can not only meet the country's growing electricity demand.

It can also provide strong energy support for the development of the AI ​​industry.

Therefore, in the infrastructure industry, Meng Chuan is most optimistic about clean energy projects such as hydropower stations.

He firmly believes that this is absolutely the most forward-looking strategic investment.

Of course, Meng Chuan could invest, but he didn't want to take responsibility.

The infrastructure industry, in particular, is actually quite dangerous.

A moment of carelessness or poor management could lead to extremely terrible consequences.

Meng Chuan is now rich; he is only responsible for providing the money, not for management or operation.

Even if some of them have shady dealings, that's none of Meng Chuan's business.

Also, some things shouldn't be done too ostentatiously.

Being too high-profile, even if the intention is good, could be interpreted as having ill intentions.

However, if Meng Chuan is just investing money to get shares without any investment...

Meng Chuan didn't care even if he lost a little bit of his shares.

After all, his goal wasn't to make money.

This way, you can avoid taking responsibility and also gain more connections for no reason.

Keeping a low profile and remaining hidden, avoiding any struggle for power, is the best way to protect oneself.

Old Huang stared at Meng Chuan for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

With his age and shrewdness, how could Old Huang not see through Meng Chuan's little scheme?

"You little rascal... still as cunning as ever. Anyway... alright! I'll go back and report it right away. But after all, it's a national-level project, so regarding the shareholding..."

Old Huang wanted to give Meng Chuan a heads-up.

But Meng Chuan just smiled and waved his hand:

"I don't care what projects you invest in, and you don't need to tell me how you invest. Just tell me how much money you want!"

"As for the shares, the higher-ups decide, and I won't haggle. Even if it's one trillion for one percent of the shares, I'll accept it."

It's rare for Meng Chuan to be so magnanimous and easy to talk to.

Of course, it's not that Meng Chuan is stupid.

The main issue is that his current identity is extremely sensitive.

Meng Chuan always knew that there are absolutely no secrets in this world.

His identity and the underground forces he controlled were known to some extent to those above him.

Even if there are things we don't know yet, we'll find out sooner or later.

Meng Chuan never dared to underestimate China's intelligence system.

Therefore, Meng Chuan must take a stand.

First: He has no ambition and will not form cliques for personal gain.

Second: There is no malicious intent, and no risky actions will be taken.

Thirdly, he had no ulterior motives; he was simply patriotic and hoped that the country would become stronger and stronger.

"See? I told you you were a clever little rascal!"

Old Huang looked at Meng Chuan with increasing admiration:

"But don't worry, the higher-ups trust you quite a bit, otherwise they wouldn't have sent you a plaque."

"As for the shares, although they won't be many, they certainly won't be few either. They won't let you suffer too much of a loss."

Just then, Liu Qian brought in three small dishes, all of which were perfect accompaniments to drinks.

"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time. Why don't we eat and chat?"

Liu Qian didn't care what Meng Chuan and Old Huang were talking about.

Her words at this moment were actually just a reminder to Meng Chuan and Old Huang: I'm here, so let's not talk about sensitive topics.

"Haha, Principal Liu is so considerate and sensible. He knows how to take care of an old man like me, unlike some people who always speak with a knife in their mouths."

It seems that when Liu Qian came in, Old Huang immediately changed his tone, and he really did have a kind and benevolent look to him.

"Hey, you old man, if you're going to talk badly about someone, at least do it behind their back."

Meng Chuan said irritably.

Just when we were asking him to invest in infrastructure projects...

That old man isn't like that.

They can change their tune so easily.

"Alright, it's an honor for us to have Mr. Huang come to our home. Is that bottle of fine wine you treasure in your study? I'll go get it for you right away. Please have a good drink with Mr. Huang."

Liu Qian smiled and scolded Meng Chuan, then turned and went to the study.

"Oh! You actually have some good wine hidden away? Then this old man will have to drink a couple more cups with you today."

Old Huang didn't drink alcohol.

He is getting old after all.

He also came with a mission, and he had to rush back to report.

But Meng Chuan has a treasured drink, and he must have a cup.

Given Meng Chuan's wealth, the wines he collects must be of high quality!

Soon Liu Qian returned with some fine wine.

Meng Chuan's collection of treasures were actually left behind by Fifth Master back then.

Meng Chuan would not drink easily.

My father, Meng Jianguo, doesn't like any other alcohol besides Erguotou.

Therefore, Meng Chuan treasured it simply as a keepsake.

But since Liu Qian had brought it, Meng Chuan could only have a drink with Old Huang.

It must be said that the wines treasured by Fifth Master are indeed top-quality wines.

Even Old Huang couldn't resist drinking several times more.

The old man and the young man bickered quite a bit during the meal.

It wasn't until Old Huang was almost unconscious that Meng Chuan called Feng Chenchen.

Tell her to come and pick up her grandfather as soon as possible.

Feng Chenchen never expected that her grandfather, who lived in Beijing, would come to the county town.

He was still drunk at Meng Chuan's house, completely unconscious.

While she felt sorry for him, she also secretly blamed Meng Chuan for being so inconsiderate.

Her grandfather is so old, yet she still made him drink so much.

Of course, Feng Chenchen wouldn't dare say these words out loud.

Meng Chuan is, after all, her boss.

Furthermore, Meng Chuan now exudes a subtle yet powerful aura of authority.

In front of Meng Chuan, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Not to mention the reprimands he gave Meng Chuan back then.

After Huang Lao left, Meng Chuan's life returned to peace.

Now there's almost nothing that Meng Chuan really needs to worry about.

Meng Chuan's various plans are gradually getting on track.

The City of Entrepreneurship Dreams has welcomed wave after wave of entrepreneurs with dreams.

With Meng Chuan's support, they bravely pursued their entrepreneurial dreams.

The employees of Meng Chuan's companies are highly motivated, and the company's performance is booming.

The application process for infrastructure projects is also progressing smoothly, with Mengchuan successfully bidding on several large-scale hydropower station and cross-sea bridge construction projects.

However, Meng Chuan was only responsible for investing money in these projects; he didn't care about anything else.

Time quickly passed to mid-November.

Across the ocean, the election results that have garnered global attention have finally been announced...
