Chapter 107 Funding, Colds and Heating Systems (Part 3)
All the dilapidated walls and collapsed rubble have disappeared.
After the light faded, a well-decorated building appeared before everyone's eyes.
Although it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside, Rikuo pushed open the door and gestured to the screen for the three of them to follow.
After the three of them went inside, they found that the interior had been decorated in a very orderly manner, including a front desk preparation area, a rest area, a changing area, and separate men's and women's bathhouses.
The entire first floor is a rest area, while the second floor is the bathing area.
It also includes a public area and several smaller private shower rooms.
After Lu Sheng led everyone on a tour, he clapped his hands and led them away from the building.
Then he looked at the three cameras and made a gesture of invitation.
"I have now demonstrated my strengths, and I hope the three of you can make a reasonable judgment."
If you feel that partnering with me is not a good fit, I will look for another partner.
I hope you can reply to me within half an hour.
Then he made a gesture, and Su Caiwei and Jia Yi stopped recording the video at that moment.
At Lu Sheng's request, the video was sent to their respective relatives.
Sun Zhiyuan's call hadn't ended yet, and the Golden Sunflower specialist inside fell silent.
Just as he was about to say something, Lu Sheng stepped forward and forcibly cut off the communication.
This caught Sun Zhiyuan off guard.
"Lu Sheng, didn't you want to discuss business?"
Lu Sheng nodded.
"I did want to discuss business, but I didn't like the other party's attitude, so I decided to show him my abilities."
If he really wants to do business, he will contact me on his own initiative.
If he doesn't contact me, I have other people I can contact.
Maybe it's not entirely in accordance with the rules, but this is my camp, and I get to decide what's in accordance with the rules.
Lu Sheng pointed to the building behind him.
"Brother Sun, you should know that with such capabilities, there will be no shortage of people in this world who want to cooperate with you."
Sun Zhiyuan swallowed hard. He knew very well that Lu Sheng's construction capabilities had reached an unbelievable level.
At the same time, he looked at the two people on his left and right with some curiosity, wondering why Lu Sheng had them record a video here.
Sensing his doubts, Lu Sheng had nothing to hide from him and directly told Sun Zhiyuan his thoughts.
"This Dr. Su, her parents are both senior executives at Golden Sunflower."
This Professor Jia Yijia, whose son is an executive at Golden Sunflower.
This is also why they are able to move freely outside despite being death row inmates.
Sun Zhiyuan felt that this statement contained a lot of information.
Before he could say anything, he noticed his bracelet was vibrating wildly; it was a message from the Golden Sunflower Specialist.
The message was simple: Sun Zhiyuan should keep Lu Sheng calm while he went to a meeting immediately.
Lu Sheng naturally saw this message as well.
But five minutes later, Su Caiwei called.
When Su Caiwei saw that the caller was her mother, she waved to Lu Sheng and waited for him to come over before answering the video call.
As the screen projection appeared, Lu Sheng saw a woman who resembled Su Caiwei in some ways, but was older and more mature.
The woman in the picture spoke first.
"You must be Station Master Lu, right?"
Xiaowei, thank you for taking care of me these past few days.
Lu Sheng shook his head slightly.
"Auntie, we don't need to go through all this formality."
As you know, your daughter is so capable; most of the time, she helps me, not the other way around.
This building was suggested to me by her.
Because of the drop in temperature, some people in the camp have already caught colds. Coupled with poor hygiene and the inability to shower, the camp may be wiped out by colds before the real disaster even arrives.
Listening to Lu Sheng's seemingly casual remarks, which were actually full of praise for Su Caiwei, the woman in the picture smiled slightly.
"It is rare to be able to trust the suggestions of others."
You should understand the meaning of the golden sunflower; Xiao Wei will be in your camp during the impending catastrophe.
Seeing your abilities, I'm not so worried about her safety anymore.
Tell me, what kind of business do you want to do with Golden Sunflower?
Seeing that the other party had gotten to the point, Lu Sheng directly stated his inner needs.
Business in all aspects.
I know that Jin Kuihua is a large and powerful family, and you have all seen my abilities.
Let me start with a wonderful idea: given enough resources, I could easily build a Golden Sunflower industrial park or research institute on the surrounding wilderness.
Hearing Lu Sheng's words, Su Caiwei's mother shook her head slightly.
"It's a very attractive idea, but unfortunately, Golden Sunflower has no shortage of industrial parks or research institutes."
Modular building technology is quite mature within Golden Sunflower, allowing us to freely customize the facilities we want.
Although it can't compare to Station Master Lu's methods, it has the advantage of being our own, doesn't it?
Lu Sheng clapped his hands.
"That's right, other people's things are never as good as your own."
But I think the fact that you were willing to send this message means that there are still places where Golden Sunflower needs my abilities.
Since I haven't guessed correctly, why don't you stop playing games with me and just tell me directly?
"You know, if I were exceptionally intelligent, I wouldn't have been exiled to this place."
Hearing Lu Sheng show weakness first, Su Caiwei's mother showed no emotional fluctuation and maintained a faint smile.
However, this time she put forward her own idea.
"Because of my status, I can't actually give you any direct financial assistance."
However, I can propose a project, a project that Xiaowei will be responsible for.
An industrial park and a research institute—Golden Sunflower really looks down on those things.
But if it's a transportation hub, or a megacity of millions built around a transportation hub, that's a different story.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng waved his hand.
"That's a bit embarrassing."
Hearing that Lu Sheng seemed to be refusing, Su Caiwei's mother asked curiously.
Are you worried about your family?
Lu Sheng shook his head.
"No, this camp has nothing to do with the Lu family."
It is my camp, and any place that develops thereafter belongs to me.
It is the only thing in this world that belongs to me, so I can't possibly give it away.
Although I trust your daughter very much, it is clearly impossible for me to attribute the ruins of this area, which could have become a city of millions, to her project achievements.
This is my bottom line.
Hearing Lu Sheng speak so frankly, Su Caiwei's mother didn't press him further, but immediately smiled and explained.
"Station Chief Lu, you may be thinking too badly of me."
Xiaowei is responsible for assisting you in building this city, but that doesn't mean the city belongs to her.
You are still the master here, but I hope that she, as the liaison between you and Golden Sunflower, can gain more say and status.
Lu Sheng felt that the other party's words contained some completely unnecessary concerns.
"Auntie, Dr. Su is already in the management at my camp. No matter how much power she has, I'll have to give up my top position to her."
Lu Sheng spoke tactfully, but every word revealed his unwavering determination to never back down.
He knew all too well that he was an outsider in this world.
To live here, you must have something of your own: bloodline, past—
All of these have vanished without a trace since the predecessor committed suicide by shooting himself. Even if some remnants remain, they won't last long.
Seemingly understanding Lu Sheng's determination, Su Caiwei's mother covered her mouth and laughed.
"In that case, it's not appropriate to call you Station Master Lu, but it's also too early to call you City Lord Lu."
Lu Sheng raised a hand and said calmly, "Auntie, I am a junior, you can just call me Xiao Lu."
"Good, good, Lu, you are an extraordinary person. Auntie can't represent Golden Sunflower, but I do have a small project on hand."
Su Caiwei's mother raised her hand and typed a few words on the keyboard that appeared, and a design drawing appeared in front of Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng looked at it for a while and realized that it was a wind power plant, and a rather large one at that. If a city were built on it, a steel jungle would appear in the wilderness.
Seeing that Lu Sheng was somewhat engrossed in the project, Su Caiwei's mother asked, "Lu, are you confident in this project?"
This isn't a big project; it's just a small experiment.
Lu Sheng snapped out of his reverie while looking at the blueprints and turned his gaze back to Su Caiwei's mother.
"try?"
"Yes, it's just an experiment."
How can we, in a disaster-prone environment, make the most of the weather changes brought about by nightfall as an attempt to explore energy sources for human progress?
Lu Sheng could understand what she was saying, and he also understood that if such a power plant could be built in the surrounding environment of the camp, the city he wanted to rebuild in the future would have a basic energy guarantee.
However, he was very clear that such a massive project could not possibly be given to him for free, nor could it be simply a matter of having Su Caiwei put her name on the project and add a resume to it.
He didn't beat around the bush and asked Su Caiwei's mother a direct question.
"Auntie, I know my own worth."
If I were in charge of building this project, how much of the electricity it generates would I receive after completion?
Su Caiwei's mother gave Lu Sheng a somewhat unexpected answer.
Unfortunately, I'm going to give you an answer that will disappoint you.
The Golden Sunflower Foundation will provide strong support for the construction of this power plant project.
Once completed, all the electricity generated will be available for your use.
However, Golden Sunflower doesn't want nothing; Golden Sunflower wants a share, or rather, I personally want a share.
This share isn't for me; it's for my daughter.
In the future, as long as my daughter remains in management in your city, she will own 5% of the shares.
You must cash out this 5% stake at its value when she decides to leave you someday.
At the same time, I would like you to make some concessions. The shares you offer can be non-transferable, and you can only repurchase them.
Lu Sheng thought about it. 5% didn't sound like much, but considering that the city would be developed and built up in the future, he would have many capable people as his subordinates.
When they join him in building the city, they will need a certain amount of city shares as a reward.
As it's diluted layer by layer, 5% becomes a huge number.
This 5% stake practically guarantees Su Caiwei a future position in the city's management team, or at the very least, the head of the city's healthcare system.
On the bright side, this shows that the aunt is very optimistic about the future of this desolate city.
On the worst, Su Caiwei owns 5% of the shares, but what about the other old retainers who have followed her to build the city from now on?
Should we give Lin Ran the same number of shares?
Should we give Cheng Qiushui the same number of shares?
This kind of dispersion will leave behind huge hidden dangers.
After a moment's thought, Lu Sheng finally nodded.
"Auntie, I agree to your request. As long as you transport all the building materials needed to build this power plant, I can agree to all other conditions."
Hearing that Lu Sheng had agreed to her request, Su Caiwei's mother nodded slightly.
"Very good, you and Xiaowei can discuss the specific equity agreement yourselves."
I can prepare the building materials you need within half a month at the earliest, and deliver them in batches during this period.
If this project goes smoothly, Golden Sunflower will recognize your value.
For valuable plants, Golden Sunflower has always been generous in its cultivation resources.
For talented individuals, Golden Sunflower is willing to invest heavily in their development and show unexpected tolerance.
Cheng Qiushui, who lives next to you, is a good example.
To be honest, a man like him wouldn't be a pity even if he died a million times.
The damage he caused to the Golden Sunflower could even jeopardize the survival of all human civilization.
Even so, Golden Sunflower still allowed him to live, and even helped him keep his daughter alive.
Sometimes, many outsiders think that the golden sunflower is like the sun high in the sky, bringing warmth but also so intense that it is suffocating.
But if you ask me, the warmth of the golden sunflower has saved far more people than those destroyed by its intense light.
Lu Sheng didn't know what to say. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Su Caiwei's mother, he gestured for Su Caiwei to hang up the call.
After the call ended, Lu Sheng waved to Sun Zhiyuan.
"Xiao Sun, this is none of your business."
Sun Zhiyuan fell silent for a moment. Before, he was known as Brother Sun, but now that he has found a partner, he has suddenly become Little Sun.
He didn't know what to say.
But he really didn't expect that Lu Sheng could directly contact the higher-ups at Golden Sunflower, who had indeed climbed to a position he couldn't comprehend.
After Sun Zhiyuan left, Su Caiwei stepped forward.
"When you need something from someone, call him Brother Sun; when you realize that the other person is no longer of any use to you, you switch to calling him Little Sun."
"Boss, are you really this kind of person?"
Hearing her teasing, Lu Sheng did not deny it.
"It's okay, I'll just call him back next time I need his help."
His relationship with me is nowhere near as close as mine with you.
Su Caiwei got goosebumps from these words and quickly waved her hand.
"Boss, I only let you talk to my mom on the phone, I didn't introduce you to my parents, how did we start talking about intimacy?"
Lu Sheng raised his hand and pointed to the wall facing the wilderness.
"That's an entire wind power plant! I'd be willing to call you my godmother."
