Chapter 13
The First Industry

“Congratulations, Host Chu Heng, for spending 10 million through online consumption. The system has upgraded to Level 3. From now on, the system will deposit 1 million into the online account you designate every day. And the system will also give you your first real-world reward.”

“Reward: 30% partnership share of Fengxiang Plaza. The system will provide reasonable and justifiable procedures for the partnership equity changes. The system will arrange to provide you with real financial statements of Fengxiang Plaza every quarter.”

Fengxiang Plaza, located in the Dongcheng District of Chu Heng’s current city, is a large entertainment and lifestyle complex. The entire plaza is divided into six floors. The first floor, the basement, is a large supermarket. The second and third floors are office spaces and a hotel. The fourth floor has various fitness, card games, fencing, and other sports and entertainment venues. The fifth floor has various investment companies and photography studios. The sixth floor is a large supermarket. Occupying a prime location in Dongcheng District, the business is booming and the customer base is stable.

The system presented the financial statements of Fengxiang Plaza to Chu Heng in a simple and clear way. It also detailed the changes in partnership equity.

The detailed financial statements clearly displayed the profits and losses of Fengxiang Plaza since its inception, giving Chu Heng a deeper understanding of the plaza.

The partnership equity change method provided by the system was reasonable and justifiable, and also made some modifications based on Chu Heng's ordinary identity to avoid potential risks.

The general situation is that Chu Heng made a deal with the original shareholder in Beijing. The original shareholder needed cash urgently due to personal reasons, and at this time, Chu Heng happened to have money and wanted to return to his hometown in Nan Province. So he bought this share in Beijing, at a price that exceeded the current valuation of the entire plaza.

And, in the future, if Chu Heng wants to sell his current shares, the other two original shareholders have the right of first refusal. This was arranged by the system, and the original shareholder who sold this portion of equity to Chu Heng made an explanation to the other two partners.

Chu Heng could clearly feel that in becoming a shareholder of Fengxiang Plaza, the system had accomplished this series of operations with an unknown power. As Chu Heng had guessed before, the system is not simply a rebate system. It's more magical and needs him to explore on his own.

Although the system’s extraordinary operations made Chu Heng directly become a shareholder of a large plaza, the subsequent management matters, and cooperation with the other two partners, all need Chu Heng to handle himself. The system will not interfere further.

Chu Heng is a novice in business. Although he has learned a lot about management, finance, and investment in recent times, he has never actually taken charge of these matters. He needs to be careful, safety first.

This real-world reward gave Chu Heng his own physical business and capital. Now that the first step has been taken, he will gradually learn and move forward steadily. In the future, his accumulation will grow, and his capital will become more substantial.

Over the next few hours, Chu Heng carefully reviewed everything about Fengxiang Plaza, including the most core aspects, and some information about the other two partners. He may be a newbie, but he's not an idiot. He must know both himself and his enemy to be victorious in a hundred battles. You can't have malicious intentions towards others, but you can't be without vigilance. Business is like a battlefield. If he doesn't know anything and just goes in, he might get swallowed up.

Fengxiang Plaza, after deducting all expenses for a year, including rent, utilities, labor, equipment maintenance, upgrades, and all other expenses, based on his share ratio, his annual dividend would be at least 6 or 7 million.

Now, he doesn't just have money in his bank account, he also has his first real-world business. From online to offline, he is taking the first step, the future is bright!

滴... The phone rang.

“Mr. Chu, hello. I’m Tan, another partner of Fengxiang Plaza. Would it be possible to meet tomorrow? We need to discuss the plaza’s future operations.”

“Ok,” Chu Heng said.

“Then tomorrow, Mr. Gu, the other partner, and I will be waiting for you at the plaza entrance on the sixth floor. What do you think?”

“Mr. Tan, you don’t need to be so polite, I’ll just go there myself tomorrow.”

“Mr. Chu, don’t be so polite, see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow.”

“Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Heng sat on the balcony, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside, and thought deeply.

Shortly after, the system-arranged documents for the equity transfer, as well as various materials, were delivered to him by express delivery.

Online, offline. Having his first business, Chu Heng was in a great mood.

He had just exited Douyu a short while ago, and directly went back in, throwing away another million fish fins, at least a hundred super fires each for Xiao Meng, Fei Fei, and Qu Qu.

This resulted in even more affectionate and bolder messages from the girls, especially from Fei Fei, the little vixen. Looking at her messages, Chu Heng could imagine her cute, coquettish appearance.

Xiao Meng sent another dance video, but unlike her outfit in the livestream, in private, she was wearing even lighter clothing, even more seductive. However, only Chu Heng could enjoy it privately. She wasn't afraid at all of Chu Heng leaking the video, showing how much she trusted him now.

“Brother Six, when are you coming to listen to me sing? I've learned a few new songs recently, come see me.”

“Qu Qu is waiting for you, mwah.” Even Qu Qu, the young one, was becoming bolder and more enthusiastic.

Tonight, Chu Heng had spent more than 6 million on Douyu. He originally thought that he had to spend 10 million to upgrade the system. It turned out that the upgrade to Level 3 was triggered by spending 10 million from the time he got the system.

Before tonight, he already had more than 13 million fish fins in his account. He spent another 6 million tonight, leaving 7 million. After the system upgraded, it would deposit 1 million every day. It was past midnight, and now he had 8 million fish fins in his Douyu account. He had over 3 million in his bank account, and he owned his first real-world business, with an annual dividend of 6 or 7 million from the shares.

He had finally taken the first step toward becoming a real-life tycoon.

The future will be even better.
