A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 82: The King and the Tamura Group

Looking at Lin Jiayao's rebuttal, Mu Jiuzhang could understand the inertia of the old era, but he still needed to make him understand the urgency of reform.

"Now that the village has developed its industries, a large number of young people have returned, right?"

They also established their own technical school, selecting those who could be trained to take up specialized accounting positions. Initially, a dual-track system could be implemented, with the old personal connections system and the new digital system running in parallel. As the new generation of talent is trained, the business operations will be gradually switched over.

These are all things that you and that idiot Lin Yan didn't consider. But think about it carefully. With such a large amount of funds, if we still use the same personal connections as a small workshop, once the number of projects increases, no number of accountants will be enough to keep them going.

Besides, wouldn't it be a waste to prevent capital from circulating?

Lin Jiayao felt as if a rope was around his neck, and that rope was constantly tightening. He sighed resignedly.

"I feel like I'm a remnant of the old era, even though I've only been in charge for a few months."

Mu Jiuzhang has already started placing orders on his computer.

"I first ordered a set of Yonyou's group version financial system, then contacted several leading consulting firms and had them send specialists to review the architecture plan..."

She typed away on the keyboard, but then stopped, as if she had thought of something.

"So, how much money does Lin Yan actually have?"

"No, the first step in forming a conglomerate is to understand its assets. How can we make plans if we don't even know how much money we have at the bottom? I need to figure that out first."

Mu Jiuzhang closed his laptop, got up, and left.

……

old house.

As soon as Lin Yan opened the door, he saw Mu Jiuzhang standing at the door.

"Lin Yan, I have something to ask you."

Xier peeked out from behind Lin Yan, but when she saw it was her, she quickly shrank back. Lin Yan also quickly shielded Xier with her hands, not letting the teacher in.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Mu Jiuzhang clicked her tongue helplessly. It seemed that she also wanted to take this opportunity to observe this otherworldly elf.

"Lin Yan, I'm asking you, how much money do you actually have?"

"what?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment.

"I...I'm not quite sure either."

"...? Then take me to see it now."

Lin Yan glanced at Mu Jiuzhang's face, which seemed to say, "I won't leave until I get an explanation today."

He sighed.

"Okay, then please come with me."

He reached out, and with a snap, a spatial rift appeared. Lin Yan stepped inside.

Mu Jiuzhang observed in astonishment; the more he looked at the magic, the more amazing it became. The moment he passed through space, Mu Jiuzhang was so shocked by the scene before him that he took a step back.

A vast purple space, piled high with gold, stretching as far as the eye could see. Mu Jiuzhang opened her mouth, then closed it again. She recalled the times she had racked her brains trying to secure funding for her experiments.

Mu Jiuzhang's gaze darted back and forth, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

This was already the umpteenth time Mu Jiuzhang had broken his usual personality since coming to Tian Village. Finally, he spoke, his voice much gentler than usual.

"Lin Yan, tell me... isn't it really not easy for us teachers, who dedicate our lives to educating and nurturing students?"

She blushed as soon as she finished speaking, and the meaning behind her words was obvious to everyone.

Lin Yan got goosebumps.

"Hey~ Teacher, you don't need to do that. This is my retirement fund that I saved up in another world. Just don't use it too recklessly."

Mu Jiuzhang coughed lightly a few times.

"Do you know that with all this gold you have, you could build your own financial system in this world?"

"Teacher, you must be joking..."

"Lin Yan, this pile of gold of yours is dead; it must be brought to life and made to move."

"...Didn't I say I was retiring?"

"Then let me live first."

Mu Jiuzhang looked serious.

"Lin Yan, hand over the disposal rights of this pile of gold to me. I'll help you sell a portion and convert it into operating funds for the group. The rest will serve as ballast. Let's stir up trouble for the Eagle Yuan system!"

Her eyes grew brighter as she spoke, while Lin Yan looked utterly dejected.

"Teacher... you should really take it easy. Don't spend all my retirement money. I don't want to threaten the whole world with force. Don't make me the world's governor. I had experience managing the northern border in the medieval world, but now I have a lot of trouble managing a village. I don't want to manage the whole world... um... maybe you can decide what to do."

Looking at the teacher who was squinting, Lin Yan spoke softer and softer, and Mu Jiuzhang smiled and patted Lin Yan on the back.

After they came out, Xier hid behind the door and peeked into the living room. Lin Yan looked at Mu Jiuzhang, who had already taken a spot in the living room and was typing rapidly on his laptop. Then he glanced at the sounds of Nia and Miki laughing and joking coming from upstairs.

He sighed.

"Teacher, could you perhaps postpone this conglomerate project for a while?"

Mu Jiuzhang didn't even look up.

Why?

"Look... those two little devils are constantly tearing the house apart. The most important thing now is to build a kindergarten and send them there."

Lin Yan pointed upstairs. What he didn't say was that the teacher's presence terrified him. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone constantly watching their wife?

Mu Jiuzhang paused for a moment.

"kindergarten?"

"Yes, build a kindergarten for the children in Tamura, along with an elementary school."

Lin Yan pleaded.

"My time with Syl has been constantly ruined. Could you please help me sort this out first?"

Mu Jiuzhang pushed up his glasses.

"A building that combines a kindergarten and a primary school is different from the light steel structure buildings you used to build. Here's some common sense about construction: the cement in a frame building takes 28 days to be inspected before it can be accepted, because it takes 28 days for the cement to fully harden. So, the normal time from project initiation to completion is..."

Lin Yan covered her face in despair, "No! This isn't how I'm supposed to retire!"

"No! I can't hold on until then."

Mu Jiuzhang remained expressionless.

"However, I can finish the design for you first. I have a senior from university who runs a design company."

She made a phone call.

"Hey sis, I have a project that I need urgently. It's a design plan for a kindergarten and a primary school, and I need the drawings done within two days."

On the other end of the phone.

"...Two days?? Mu Jiuzhang, are you crazy? Our people here..."

One million.

"We sent someone over today to survey the topographical map, and all the designers in our company worked together to draw up the plans. We'll give you the construction plan tomorrow."

beep~

The person on the other end hung up the phone.

"Lin Yan, I can use every means to speed things up, but there are objective laws governing the construction period, and no amount of money can defy the laws of physics."

"physics?"

Lin Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Mu Jiuzhang looked at him strangely with a mischievous smile, then turned and went upstairs.

"Nia~~Micky."
