Of course, the internet and information industry was related to basic construction. The investments were huge, and the requirements were high. It was not something that the current Meng Chao could manage alone.
Most of the online platforms in Dragon City were in the hands of the nine great mega corporations. The most popular social media platforms were all owned by the Deity Realm superhumans behind the mega corporations.
Aside from the nine great mega corporations, only the Red Dragon Army and a handful of other forces of power could speak as they pleased on their own platforms. Grasping Grasping
This was a rather sensitive area.
Barging in recklessly would easily attract unnecessary attention.
Meng Chao could only use the current platform to carry out some preliminary investigations and preparations so that he could plan slowly.
Besides, he was running out of money.
Forced by the situation, he had no choice but to act too hastily. He pulled the lever to the limit and launched a large number of projects in one go.
Whether it was the design and mass production of the monkey version weapon, or the cultivation of tobacco and brewing crops, or the construction of the carbonated beverage factory … all of them required a lot of money in the beginning.
The reconstruction of the lair and the development of Superstar also used up a lot of cash flow.
To reach Heaven Realm, he used up an astronomical amount of cultivation resources every day.
After the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City and the super monster horde that filled the sky, many of the superhumans gained an epiphany during that moment of life and death. They found a brand new path to a brand new realm, and now, they were charging forward at full speed just like Meng Chao.
Everyone was overloading themselves with cultivation and consuming resources.
As a result, the price of cultivation resources on the market soared.
Even though they had killed a large number of monsters during the pitched battle at the borders of Dragon City and harvested their crystal cores, bones, blood, nerve cords, neurospheres, and other materials, they were not as strong as they were now.
However, these materials had to be processed for a long time before they were sent to a pharmaceutical factory to be refined into gene medicine and high-calorie nutrition drugs. Apart from flesh and internal organs, few could be directly consumed.
The current pharmaceutical factories in Dragon City had limited production. Even if they wanted to expand their production madly, they would need some time.
The opportunity for Extraordinaires to break through to a new realm was fleeting, and the window was only a few days long.
Before the production capacity of the major pharmaceutical factories could catch up, this was the final madness.
Many unscrupulous traders also realized that this was the last chance to create hype. (Chinese Pronunciation of Jiu Ping)
They staked everything on one throw, hoarding, adding fuel to the fire, and wildly hyping up the market.
In just one month, the prices of some rare resources had more than doubled.
Even with Meng Chao's wealth, when he saw the prices of crystals and gene medicine that changed three times a day, he was still terrified and could not bear it.
In fact, he really did not want to monopolize these high-quality projects that were rolling in money.
He was very willing to share these projects with the lair, the Broken Star Club, the Red Dragon Army, Blue Home, and all the other investors in Dragon City. It did not matter to him even if he did not have the controlling shares.
As long as Dragon Citizens were in charge of the project, no matter how they did it, they would end up in a bad situation. In the end, Dragon City would still be the one to prosper.
The problem was that his "high-quality projects" were always a little suspicious in the eyes of ordinary people.
It was a monkey version weapon that was crudely made and looked like scrap metal.
Low-quality tobacco that was as bad as arson, low-quality alcohol that could make one's soul leave their body with just one sip, and carbonated drinks that were mixed with dozens of messy ingredients and even had lizard bones soaked in them.
Was there really a market for these things?
Even his loyal partner, Lu Siya, was very skeptical.
Of course, Meng Chao had already displayed unbelievable foresight during the battle at Raging Waves, the ambush on Noble Descent Hotel, and the battle in the lair.
No matter how ridiculous the project he tossed out was, Lu Siya would follow it without hesitation.
But there was only one Lu Siya in the world!
Besides, Lu Siya could only use her personal money to help Meng Chao.
But it was very difficult for her to convince her father's Sky Pillar Minerals and her grandfather's Sky Pillar Corporation to invest in monkey version weapons and low-quality tobacco and alcohol.
The investors in the lair, the Broken Star Club, the Red Dragon Army, and Blue Home trusted Meng Chao, so they were naturally willing to help him.
But right then, Dragon City was in a period of rapid expansion. Regardless of whether it was the investors themselves, the nine great mega corporations, or the Red Dragon Army, all of them had a lot of projects that seemed to be more reliable and could bring great profits with little capital.
Nowadays, there was no one who did not push their leverage to the max. Everyone had dozens of projects to invest in, so it was impossible for them to invest all their money and lives on Meng Chao!
Meng Chao also knew that his projects were a little unreliable based on the current situation.
If he did not have the memories from his previous life, it would have been impossible for him to invest in these projects with all his might.
He had also thought about whether he should reveal his secret.
With his achievements over the past few years, his status as the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City, and his connections with Agricultural University, the abnormal beast research department, the Red Dragon Army, the Broken Star Club, Blue Home, he believed that even something as ridiculous as returning from the apocalypse would be treated seriously by people.
As long as people believed in him, he could mobilize more funds and power to optimize the industries and strategic arrangements in Dragon City.
But after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Meng Chao still gave up on this thought.
It was not because he was delusional and was afraid of being captured by the mega corporations or related departments for research.
Logically speaking, after he came into contact with so many higher-ups and powerful people in Dragon City, even if Meng Chao did not have much confidence in their characters, he still trusted their intelligence.
Those who could get a place in the Survival Committee or manage mega corporations were not short-sighted idiots. They seldom did stupid things like killing the goose that laid golden eggs.
The problem was, once a secret was told to another person, it would no longer be a secret.
Meng Chao was not afraid that his Earthlings would learn of his secret.
But he was indeed worried that this secret would leak out of Dragon City and become a secret known by all the Other World races.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. There were tens of millions of people in Dragon City, and most of them were normal people.
The Other World superhumans who were skilled in hypnosis and mind techniques could easily capture one or two of them and learn Dragon City's secrets.
It was especially so for the monkey model weapons and low-quality alcohol and tobacco, which were highly targeted. They were the products that were specially supplied for foreign trade.
At that time, all the Other World races would know that Dragon City had the ability to predict the future and use it to make a fortune from the war. They were even prepared to become the biggest winners of the Other World war.
Dragon City's civilization would become the target of everyone.
All the Other World races would treat Earthlings as their enemies and send thousands of elf assassins, vampire killers, orc suicide squads, and even mutant life forms to destroy Meng Chao, the source of all evil.
This was too terrifying.
They would take everything. Also, right then, Dragon City was still the world of the mega corporations.
The Red Dragon Army might have risen to power, but it was still unknown whether they could catch up.
If Meng Chao released his memory fragments to the public, the ones who would benefit the most would definitely be the mega corporations.
The mega corporations would make strategic arrangements based on his predictions and monopolize the important industries in the future. From there, they would become stronger and become even more unshakable than in his previous life.
Without the advantage of information difference, small and medium-sized enterprises would definitely not be able to compete against mega corporations.
But could a Dragon City forever controlled by a mega corporation change the end of the apocalypse?
Meng Chao did not know.
Here comes Old Treasure. Lin Chuan, Gao Ye, and the others' accusations against the mega corporations rang in his ears.
In the depths of his brain, the experience of being a mercenary for a corporation and a Ghost Assassin in his previous life were not exactly pleasant memories.
The mega corporations and Deity Realm superhumans that were one hundred times stronger were a blessing or a curse to the normal citizens who lived at the bottom of Dragon City.
Before he understood this problem, Meng Chao did not want to be muddle-headed and reveal his trump card to the mega corporations.
If it was possible, he wanted to look for investors who were not part of the nine mega corporations.
The Red Dragon Army was naturally a good choice.
Meng Chao had a pretty good relationship with the military.
There were more than ten thousand members in the Broken Star Club, and they were all bottom-level officers in the Red Dragon Army.
The martial arts Meng Chao had modified were the basic martial arts that normal soldiers in the Red Dragon Army had to learn.
One of Blue Home's directors was even a member of the Red Dragon Army's general staff.
Through these connections, Superstar had become one of the biggest logistics contractors in the Red Dragon Army.
The biochemical lab under Superstar had inherited Spirit Creation Creatures' biochemical modification technology and developed new Giant Sandworms. They had also contributed greatly to the Red Dragon Army's construction of trenches, air-raid shelters, underground fortresses, and all sorts of other basic facilities.
Besides, the export of monkey version weapons had always been the military's forte.
The Red Dragon Army was very willing to work with Meng Chao.
But they ran into the same problem as Meng Chao.
They did not have money.
Because the Red Dragon Army's business was one hundred times bigger than Meng Chao's.
They attacked from all directions and conquered cities. They had built more than one hundred forward operating bases in the depths of Monster Mountain Range.
No matter how interested they were in Meng Chao's project and how much they wanted to invest in it, they had to wait for the one hundred forward operating bases to be completed and their operations to be stable so that they could gather resources from the area in an endless stream. No matter how smooth things went, they would need at least one year and a half, right?
Meng Chao could not wait for one year and a half.
He had to think of another way.
The heavens did not disappoint those who worked hard. He really managed to find a rich investor.
Perhaps he was the investor who was the most suitable for him in all of Dragon City aside from the nine great mega corporations and the Red Dragon Army.
…
The sightseeing elevator moved steadily in the elevator shaft. It rose straight up and brought Meng Chao to the clouds.
He was already at the top of the Supernatural Tower.
When he looked into the distance, the originally golden and majestic Dragon City was like a bunch of colorful building blocks that spread in all directions into the depths of the wild.
Meng Chao's blood burned, and his heart beat like a drum.
When he was in high school, he had sat at the edge of the balcony of the lecture building countless times and looked at the towering Supernatural Tower with his best friend, Chu Feixiong. He imagined how it felt to stand at the top of the Supernatural Tower and look down at all the mountains.
Today, he finally got his wish.
But what excited him was not the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Instead, it was the person he was about to meet on the other side of the elevator door.
The elevator door opened slowly.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath, turned around, and walked out of the elevator.
In an instant, he felt as if he had stepped into the galaxy from the clouds of Dragon City.
