Chapter 496, Side Story 3: Reboot, The Wei Family's Business Empire

A year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the spring breeze of reform and opening up finally began to blow across the land of China, although it was only a tentative first gust.

In fact, half a year before the official announcement of the college entrance examination, Bai Nuo had already sent a telegram to Liaoning Province and dragged his cousin Yu Xuling, who was doing very well in the black market, back to Beijing.

Without wasting a moment after returning, Bai Nuo immediately put Yu Xuling and his eighth cousin Zhu Guo, along with the younger generation from the Yu and An families who were at the bottom of their class, into a secret review class.

This period lasted for a full six months, until they were released just a few days before the college entrance examination and sent to the examination hall as a group.

The results were encouraging. These students, who were either academic underachievers or hated studying, did not transform into top students, but after six months of intensive cramming, they all did well on the exams, and none of them failed.

Yu Xuling's business acumen was discovered by Old Madam Wei and Yu Guosheng when she was young, and they have been intentionally cultivating her talent. Since Bai Nuo was designated as the heir of the Wei family, Yu Xuling was destined to become her right-hand woman in the business world, and her treatment was naturally different.

After learning that her cousin was still short of the admission score for the Economics Department of Peking University, Bai Nuo directly asked a branch of the Wei family to donate an experimental building and several pieces of experimental equipment that she personally led the team to develop to Peking University, which finally got him admitted.

No matter the era, money and power are always the most useful stepping stones.

The most surprising thing was Zhu Xiaoba, the notoriously academically challenged son of the Zhu family. He actually got into the PLA Information Engineering University based on his own merit. Although it's not a top-tier university, it's definitely a good opportunity for him, coming from a military family, to enhance his resume.

As long as he graduates smoothly, any one of the military officers in his family, big or small, could lend him a hand.

From the moment he stepped into the university, he was already ahead of most of his peers.

Perhaps this is why those third- or fourth-rate families try everything to climb up the social ladder.

After all, standing at a high place, you not only see the scenery, but also opportunities that ordinary people can't reach!

The day Zhu Guo boarded the train heading south, Bai Nuo and Fang Meng went to see him off. The two had just received a mission to go south, and on the way, they took their most troublesome cousin to school.

This would also save my older cousin from making eight hundred phone calls a day, acting as if he wanted to come back in person and send his most troublesome younger brother to school and lock him up.

After returning from her mission, Bai Nuo didn't even catch her breath before immediately throwing herself into intense training.

A month later, she went directly to Yu Xuling with two large savings accounts in her pocket.

“Yesterday, Uncle Yu called and said that if we want to do something, we can start now. The economic reform documents were officially issued to all regions the day before yesterday. Although many places are still in the exploratory stage, it doesn’t affect us.”

As Bai Nuo spoke, he slapped the bankbook in front of Yu Xuling, "Third Uncle got us a certificate to support the country's economic development and construction, so even if something happens, it won't affect us. Little cousin, you can now unleash your full potential without worry."

Such a certificate is naturally not easy to obtain; there are only a handful nationwide.

But since Bai Nuo has both the surname Bai and the surname Wei, and also has a maternal great-uncle surnamed Yu who treats her like his own daughter, this kind of official document, which many people are unaware of, is really just a matter of making a phone call for her.

Yu Xuling looked at Bai Nuo with excitement, his eyes shining: "It's really starting! We've really waited for this!"

He had been waiting for this moment of "economic freedom" since the day Bai Nuo asked him to shut down the black market in Liaoning Province and return to Beijing to study.

Sixteen months, a full sixteen months, and he finally got what he had been waiting for!

He quickly picked up the two bankbooks on the table, opened them, and gasped in shock.

In recent years, he has set up many locations in the black markets of various parts of Liaoning Province. Some of these locations were established in cooperation with others, while others were operated independently with his subordinates. In total, he has earned nearly 200,000 yuan.

He couldn't be heartless or cruel to his own people. He never mistreated his loyal brothers, giving them generous dividends and even a considerable resettlement allowance before he left.

Even so, he still brought back more than 200,000 yuan when he returned to Beijing.

Looking across the country, apart from a few old-established families that have preserved their heritage, it's hard to find many people as wealthy as him.

If this girl hadn't forced him to go to a closed-door review program as soon as he got back, he probably could have been living a carefree life in Beijing for quite a while.

result......

Yu Xuling held up the passbook tremblingly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Oh, I almost forgot! This girl in front of me is the heiress of that old-established family who preserved her family fortune during the ten years of turmoil!

That's alright! He felt relieved all of a sudden.

"One million? Is that much really necessary?"

“Of course!” Bai Nuo nodded without hesitation, his eyes full of confidence. “We don’t need to be as cautious and timid as ordinary people. This million is just the start-up capital for restarting the Wei Group. Here’s the business plan, take a look. And here are these housing vouchers, choose the one that suits you best.”

In the past six months, none of the Wei family collateral relatives she recalled have been idle; they have all been sent out by her.

There's only one task: buy houses, buy factories, and buy land.

The Wei family members, whether direct or collateral, all learned from their elders from a young age, even during special periods when they were secretly taught behind closed doors. Therefore, they excelled at both location assessment and price negotiation, allowing Bai Nuo to simply sit back and direct each route.

"A large-scale chain shopping mall integrating dining, entertainment, mid-to-high-end clothing and cosmetics? A chain supermarket, commercial housing, automobiles, and entertainment?"

Yu Xuling quickly skimmed through the business plan, and by the end, he was sweating bullets.
