The freshmen interuniversity tournament between Dragon City University and the alliance of the five universities ended with the alliance of the five universities winning.
Meng Chao's trip to the northern frontlines also came to an end for the time being.
The large-scale battle had ended. The Red Dragon Army had built a steel defense line that intersected with each other in a circular area of one hundred kilometers from Shattered Starlake to Raging Waves. Not many monsters dared to easily step into the territory occupied by humans. Their next mission would change from fighting to building. The superhumans could finally take turns to go back to the city to rest and reorganize themselves, and the students could have a comfortable winter holiday.
Meng Chao spent his Chinese New Year at home.
Even if his digestive system had increased by leaps and bounds after he became a two-star superhuman, he still had the ability to wolf down food.
Bai Suxin had prepared all sorts of new year goods for him, so much so that he could not breathe. In the end, when he saw sausages, his legs turned to jelly, and he turned around to run away with his sister.
Aside from that, everything else was good, especially the prosperous and happy scenes on the streets. It was completely different from the gloomy and gloomy scenes he remembered from his previous life. It gave him the feeling that everything was worth it.
After Chinese New Year, the first thing Meng Chao did was visit his homeroom teacher and the principal of the elementary school. He said that he wanted to use Lin Chuan's name to renovate and upgrade Blessed Happiness Street Elementary School.
The funds needed to upgrade a large elementary school was definitely not a small sum. However, Lu Siya wanted to fulfill Lin Chuan's last wish, so she insisted on bringing out most of the funds. Meng Chao himself was no longer the normal teenager who was short of money last year.
The Ripple Force V2.0 that Yan Organization released stirred up a storm in the market. It had already signed contracts with the elementary schools, the Red Dragon Army, and the enterprises that faced a certain degree of danger when they worked in the wild. It became the leader of the three great force execution methods.
Among them, the Future Ripple Force that Meng Chao provided had given Yan Organization a lot of inspiration. The leader of the organization, Yan Hengbo, was not a short-sighted person. He never owed Meng Chao the profits he deserved.
Meng Chao's astonishing performance in the northern frontlines, especially when he swung Surging Lightning and forced the strongest freshman in Dragon City University to a tie with Wang Dao during the freshmen interuniversity tournament, Surging Lightning gradually entered quite a number of people's sights.
Based on what Luo Hai said, before this saber was released, there were already more than five thousand orders for it. The research labs of the martial arts courses in the universities and independent evaluation organizations gave very good feedback, and it was predicted that this saber would become the hottest item in the Year 56.
Agricultural University's martial arts course provided a lot of support for the Ultimate Style. A few experience centers were built one after another, and every day, there were plenty of customers. They were all citizens who came to experience the Ultimate Style. Many of the hospitals, sanatoriums, schools, and military organizations lined up to buy the cultivation cabins for the Ultimate Style. This was a cake that was still growing, and the profits hidden in it were astronomical.
Aside from that, the high rewards from mine exploration missions, the huge reward he got from killing thousands of monsters in the northern offense, the rewards he got from his achievements, the fighting allowance given by the university, the research allowance, and the allowance for carrying out dangerous missions … When all of that was added together, the current Meng Chao could be considered to be quite rich.
This amount of money was enough to fulfill part of Lin Chuan's wish.
He even helped his mother complete the last expensive treatment.
And once she regained full mobility, he would help her and his father book an entire restaurant in the most luxurious hotel in the city so that they could go as shamelessly as they wanted!
When Meng Yishan saw how sensible and capable his son was, he felt gratified, but he did not remain idle. The abilities and connections he had been accumulating for twenty years erupted like a volcano. Soon, he expanded Superstar Resource Recovery Company by several times its original size. He also opened up the upstream and downstream channels from Thunderbolt to the military's food factory, which allowed him to get a few large orders.
Among the middle-tier and low-tier harvester circles, Superstar was a golden brand that no one dared to approach.
When a person was happy, they were in high spirits. At that moment, the white hair at Meng Yishan's temples was showing signs of turning black. Compared to his previous life, when he was tired and in dire straits, he looked like he was ten years younger. His only thought was to let go of his hands and feet and fulfill his ambitions.
However, the company had only been established for a short period of time, and its foundation was not stable. Besides, he was not a superhuman, which was why he had reached a bottleneck when he managed to expand the company to its current scale.
If he wanted to continue expanding the company, his team would not be able to do it.
At that moment, Meng Chao came up with an idea that shocked his father.
Merger!
He wanted to take over an old resource recovery company in the industry and use their connections and resources to quickly increase Superstar's scale and strength. Then, they would be able to advance by leaps and bounds during this rare period of strategic opportunities.
"Dad, with your results over the past half a year and the orders you have in your hands, you can definitely get three to five times the amount of money you have in the financial market. If that's not enough, I have money with me, and I can get more investors for our company.
"As long as the momentum of Dragon City's expansion doesn't weaken, we'll have an endless supply of monster materials to process. At that time, whoever is bold enough can really take over the entire world."
Meng Chao encouraged his father.
Meng Yishan admired his son's judgment and methods. If it were not for his son's insistence in the beginning, he would not have left Prosperous so easily. In just a short half a year, he managed to build up a huge business, and he felt like he was dreaming.
He listened to his son's words and had been thinking about getting a loan from the bank to expand the company for a long time.
However, it was not easy to find targets to merge with.
Since they gained full victory in the northern offense, most of the resource recovery companies in Dragon City were living pretty good lives. Unless they were ambitious and wanted to expand, there was no need for them to accept other companies' investments, much less accept other companies' mergers.
Besides, Superstar's foundation was not stable. If they merged with a small company, it would be meaningless. If they merged with a large company, they would be like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, and they would not be able to digest it.
Since Meng Chao mentioned this idea, he was naturally confident. He smiled and tossed out a name that left Meng Yishan dumbfounded.
"Prosperous Resource Recovery Company!"
Meng Chao said firmly. "As long as we merge with Prosperous, Superstar will definitely rise to a higher level. One of these days, we'll become the largest resource recovery company in Dragon City!"
Meng Chao explained in detail to his father's shock and puzzlement.
First of all, ever since a large batch of skilled harvesters left Prosperous half a year ago, it had suffered a major blow to its foundation. Its management was not good, and it had lost a few major orders. Since the demand for skilled harvesters in the market could not keep up with the supply, Prosperous did not have the chance to "replenish its blood", and its reputation was no longer as great as before.
Second, one of Prosperous's main businesses was to help Frenzied Saber harvest prey. Once Frenzied Saber was completely wiped out, this business line was completely cut off, and the company's management situation became even worse.
Third, Prosperous's boss, Qin Hu, was heavily injured during the northern offense and temporarily lost his fighting strength. Right now, he was working together with Lab 1024 of Agricultural University's martial arts course in hopes of using the Ultimate Style to clear the blocked spirit energy in his spirit meridians. He did not have the heart to manage the resource recovery company, and he had long since decided to sell everything, but he had not found a suitable buyer.
"As for why we're buying Prosperous, there are plenty of benefits," Meng Chao said with a smile.
"First of all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter what, Prosperous is an old resource recovery company that has been around for a long time. Even though a large group of skilled harvesters left last year, they still have some core skills left behind. If we can bring the entire team over, we can instantly increase Superstar's technological reserves." I'll look for the lecturers and students from Agricultural University's resource course to form a partnership between the university and the company. We'll be able to start harvesting a lot of Nightmarish Beasts.
"Second, and more importantly, Prosperous has a lot of connections and resources in the field, and many of them were left behind by Frenzied Saber when it was at its peak. No matter what, this field isn't that cold. When they learned that Frenzied Saber had been wiped out, many of the hunters were very sentimental, and they had to show some respect to Qin Hu and Prosperous.
"Buying Prosperous and taking in those connections and resources is very important for Superstar's growth.
"Third, we're a team to begin with. Even though we had some minor disagreements when we set up our own companies, in the face of benefits, that's nothing. I believe that if we merge back together, we can reduce a lot of the costs of friction and help the brand new Superstar seize a bigger market at the fastest speed possible."
Meng Yishan knew that his son was right.
But he still thought that he was being a little too optimistic.
"But Qin Hu …" he said hesitantly.
"Trust me, Dad. Among all the problems, Qin Hu is the least of them." Meng Chao smiled very brilliantly.
The deal was smoother than Meng Yishan imagined.
In truth, compared to Superstar wanting to expand, Qin Hu wanted to get rid of the troublesome mess that was Prosperous as soon as possible.
His boorish and arrogant demeanor was just a facade he put on in the business field and the hunter circle. He was a meticulous person, and he knew better than anyone else just how much potential Meng Chao had, since he had absorbed the spirit energy from the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals and was favored by a lot of forces of power.
He could not ask for more than a chance to tie his interests to Meng Chao's.
The only small problem was one person, Shen Rongfa.
"The others can stay, but Shen Rongfa must leave!" This was a condition Meng Chao suggested on behalf of his father, and it was not negotiable.
Qin Hu agreed to it.
Just as he expected, he kicked Shen Rongfa to the edge of the world. He heard that he could not even stay in the harvester circle anymore.
Meng Chao was very curious, so he asked Qin Hu in private how he should explain this to his wife.
Qin Hu said rather proudly. He told his wife that he had lost all his martial arts and was just an ordinary person. His former enemies had come to seek revenge. He could not even protect himself, so how could he protect his brother-in-law? This acquisition was because Meng Chao was narrow-minded and would definitely take revenge for the smallest grievance. He wanted to settle the score, and if his brother-in-law did not run away, he would not even know how he died!
This answer rendered Meng Chao speechless.
No matter what, Superstar had successfully acquired Prosperous and completed the magnificent act of swallowing an elephant. It had also thrown a powerful bomb into the harvester circle. Now, Superstar Resource Recovery Company had broken through the barrier to reach higher levels, and it could ride the waves and carry out its grand plan.
