Chapter 29 The overwhelming wealth

[Sorry, I was really too busy with a lot of work after the May Day holiday. I have resumed updating. I will make up for what I owed when I have time.]

Lin Yi followed Luo Ye to the parking lot and was surprised to find that Luo Ye actually walked to a brand new car this time.

The red cloth strips on the car door handles are still there, probably because they were bought just within the past two days.

Judging from the appearance, it is an ordinary family car that costs just over 200,000 yuan. Although it is not cheap, it is nothing compared to the convertible that Luo Ye drove before. The whole car is probably smaller than a tire of the previous sports car.

Lin Yi stretched his neck a little and looked around the parking lot, and indeed he couldn't find the gray sports car he had seen before.

After getting in the car, Lin Yi asked Luo Ye: "Where is your sports car?"

“Ready to sell.”

"I saw it here last Friday? It was sold so quickly? You didn't get ripped off, did you?"

Lin Yi knew that second-hand cars were not easy to sell, let alone this was an expensive sports car.

"No, I took it to a car wash and had them thoroughly clean and refurbish it. It's currently listed online, waiting for a buyer."

Luo Ye explained while driving.

"After you sell it, are you going to drive this car?"

"As long as the car can be used for transportation and is comfortable to sit in, it will be better if the sports car can be converted into funds."

Lin Yi chuckled and said nothing more. It was obvious that Luo Ye was very determined.

Drive to the gate of Sucheng Municipal Management Bureau, where no outside vehicles are allowed to enter.

Lin Yi brought Luo Ye to the gate. When the security guard saw the two young men coming, he shouted and drove them away: "No outsiders are allowed in here."

"I'm here to see Director Su."

"Do you have an appointment? Director Su is quite busy in there."

The security guard was a little impatient. Seeing this, Lin Yi stopped pretending and spoke to him in a nice tone. If you don't listen, then I won't pretend either.

"No, I came to see my mother."

"Looking for your mother?"

The security guard didn't react for a moment and sounded confused.

Luo Ye couldn't stand it anymore and yelled back at the old man: "No! How can you, an old man, curse at me?"

"Why did I curse at him? He said to come find him."

"Wait a minute, who are you looking for?"

The old security guard sat up straight away, his eyes widening considerably.

"I'm looking for my own mother, did Suya hear that?"

Lin Yi frowned. The impatient expression of the security guard just now had now shifted to his face: "Do you want me to call my mother?"

"No, no, my eyes are blurry and I didn't recognize Master Lin."

The old security guard quickly apologized and opened the door for the two people.

"Don't call me Master, I have a name."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him and went in with Luo Ye.

After walking for a while, Luo Ye said to Lin Yi jokingly: "I suddenly feel that your identity is quite cool, a bit like the young master in the ancient costume drama."

"Don't talk nonsense. I never bring up my parents' identities to show off. It was that old security guard who was blind and used chicken feathers as a token. I spoke to him in a nice way, but he looked down on me."

Lin Yi doesn't like being flamboyant, but that doesn't mean he is a punching bag: "It's a bit of a shame for this snobbish old man to stay here as a security guard. If the leader from above suddenly comes down for a private visit one day, my mother will probably be cheated by him. I have to talk to my mother about this later."

"He can pack up and leave."

"Hahaha, indeed."

Luo Ye admired Lin Yi more and more. He was imposing but not arrogant from the moment he arrived at the door. After entering the Market Administration Building, Lin Yi went up to the third floor and knocked gently at the door of his mother Su Ya's office.

"Please come in."

Su Ya's voice came from inside.

Lin Yi opened the door and walked in with Luo Ye.

Su Ya was wearing glasses. She was very surprised when she saw Lin Yi coming in. She even stopped what she was doing: "Xiao Yi, aren't you at school? Why are you here?"

"I came to ask Director Su for help, but I didn't bring any gifts. I hope Director Su doesn't mind."

Lin Yi said to Su Ya jokingly.

Su Ya smiled and rolled her eyes at Lin Yi: "Speak properly, how can you talk to your mother like that?"

Lin Yi smiled and walked to Su Ya's side: "I am just following the rules. When working, you have to call your position."

Luo Ye followed Lin Yi without saying a word. Although he had met many business tycoons, this was the first time he faced a director within the system, and he was a little nervous.

Su Ya in front of him had a smile on her face. As she was approaching fifty, there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which made her look kind yet dignified.

"Don't beat around the bush. I have to be busy. Why are you looking for me?"

Su Ya continued to busy herself with her own things. She knew that Lin Yi would not come to see her if nothing was wrong.

"I would like to ask which emerging industries would have better development prospects if I were to start a business now."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Su Ya raised her head again, took off her reading glasses, first looked at Lin Yi, then looked at Luo Ye beside her.

"Who bewitched the two of you? Or did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Even Su Ya became a little uncalm when she heard about starting a business. Every year, those who start a business either lose everything or end up gathering on the rooftop.

Lin Yi continued, "Tell me first if there are any good industries with good prospects. We don't have to start a business. If there is a good opportunity, we will try it."

After hearing this, Su Ya did not answer Lin Yi, but looked at Luo Ye and asked, "Does your father Luo Tian agree to let you venture out?"

"No, it's my own idea."

Luo Ye answered calmly.

Su Ya saw determination and perseverance on his face, and said nothing more. Instead, she adjusted the status of various industries on the computer screen where she was working, and explained to the two of them: "Now is not a good time to start a business."

"More than a decade ago, the real estate industry was booming, but now it has been declining, and industries related to education are not doing well either."

Lin Yi and Luo Ye just looked at the green screen. Most industries were going downhill.

The few industries that are still developing are all in the field of Internet information, namely game entertainment, and film and television industries, which are basically saturated, and it is difficult for them to get a piece of the pie.

Su Ya gave them a general analysis of the current situation, and Luo Ye felt a little disappointed.

I didn’t expect that my entrepreneurial journey would end before it even began.

Just when Lin Yi and he were about to give up, Su Ya gave them hope: "There is indeed a vent now, but the investment cost is relatively large and the payback period is relatively long, so it is easy to fail."

"what?"

Su Ya showed them an emerging industry: "New energy vehicles powered by electricity have appeared abroad. Now that oil prices are getting higher and higher, the prospects for the development of this industry are very good. The problem is that the cost of manufacturing cars is very high."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, he knew this thing. Before he traveled through time, new energy vehicles were everywhere on Earth, but now there was not a single one here.

Isn’t the overwhelming wealth right before our eyes?

"If you choose this direction, you need to find a car company to cooperate with. You can't do it alone."

Luo Ye was a little hesitant. The cost of building a car alone was very high, not to mention that it required research and development from scratch. The cost was estimated to be in the billions.

Lin Yi said without hesitation: "That's it!"

[The second chapter will be updated later. Please give me some praise and votes. I will definitely make up for what I owe you.]
