The Younger Generation's First Joint Activity

Investing is indeed an unstable activity.

Zhang Xuezhou was gambling on whether Jiang Feng, Zhen Mei, and others could enter the core of the Lineage in the future, and also on whether the Zhang Household would have the possibility of establishing a presence in Western Capital.

Jiang Feng and the others, on the other hand, were betting against the Zhang Household's ability to enter the core of Western Capital. Otherwise, even if they were to enter the Lineage's core circle in the future, the difficulties they would face in supporting the Zhang Household would be immense.

The future is uncertain, but present wealth is a certainty.

Zhang Xuezhou invested ten million!

In the back garden of the spoiled brat, Luo Gaogao thought for more than ten seconds before obeying Zhang Xuezhou's advice and starting to do the work that would offend people.

"This is the first time our younger generation has participated in a joint activity, I'm contributing eight million!"

Following closely behind, Zhu Shengnan began to deliver the final blow, followed by Zhen Mei's six million, Jiang Feng's five million, and Luo Gaogao's four million.

This is not just a statement, but also an act of coercion.

Some people undoubtedly dislike this kind of thing, but others see some issues clearly in this statement.

"I don't have much money right now. The income from this Qin-Meng hunt is only three million, so I'll invest it all!"

Zuo Teng was the first to react.

When Luo Gaogao approached him to solicit investment, Zuo Teng was extremely reluctant, but eventually paid 500,000 yuan to cover it.

When the second-generation rich kid started to openly express his opinion in his backyard, Zuo Teng couldn't help but feel a chill.

This isn't about building a satellite; it's about the third and fourth generations of young people in Western Capital forming a clandestine alliance.

This wave of activities involving the entire chat group clearly reveals who contributed money, who didn't, who didn't fit in, and who was willing to join other groups.

If I'm not mistaken, Zuo Teng believes that even those who went hunting in Qin Meng and haven't returned will receive a text message mentioning the relevant matter.

"Then I'll invest three million too?"

Zhou Tianhao, who was sparring with Zuo Teng, also joined the fray.

Zuo Teng is the type of person who won't act without a profit motive. Following Zuo Teng might lead to mistakes, but you definitely won't suffer too much loss.

Zhou Tianhao was also unhappy with the meager gains brought by a single satellite, but he felt there must be other issues at play, which he couldn't quite figure out in the short term. However, he was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he was doing what everyone else was doing, and he would share the losses, since he wasn't the one who paid the most money.

I'll offer two million eight hundred thousand!

Zhu Kuang, who had a very good relationship with Luo Gaogao, also began to express his opinion in the group, and quickly echoed the message after seeing it.

"Everyone, is this based on ranking or are there other rules? For example, how much should someone like me contribute? Will it cause any issues if I contribute more than others?"

Not many outsiders enter the small circle of Western Capital, and Ding Hao is a rather special case.

He accompanied Luo Gaogao and others to the sequencing conference, and was also pulled into this chat group by Luo Gaogao and Zhu Kuang.

Seeing that Luo Gaogao was trying to attract investment and Zhu Kuang had also expressed his willingness to contribute money, he quickly followed up by asking about it.

His previous participation in Luo Gaogao's team to compete for rankings was not particularly outstanding, and this team disbanded directly after the sequencing conference. When Luo Gaogao and others joined Qin Meng, they did not bring Ding Hao along, so Ding Hao was inevitably trying to integrate into this circle.

Matters involving money are easy for him to handle.

The Ding Household has always wanted to enter Western Capital's social circles, and accordingly, they don't hold Ding Hao back financially. As long as Ding Hao has legitimate needs, the Ding Household will provide support.

At least a few million wouldn't be a big problem for him.

After Ding Hao clarified the situation in the chat group, he immediately bet 3.5 million.

This sum of money was extremely eye-catching, and Ding Hao's questioning made some people judge the matter even more clearly.

Those who had previously barely invested 500,000 have either directly stated their intentions or explained their reasons, and some have begun to increase their investments.

In no time, the amount of money contributed in this chat group kept refreshing the screen, and some people who had previously declined were forced to join.

"I'm submitting a communication technology document codenamed 44687!"

Later, even Ren Anran, who was still on her way, joined the group chat and briefly mentioned her involvement in taking the items.

"There's hope!"

Jiang Feng's eyes widened.

Not only has the fundraising begun to be completed, but Ren Anran's communication technology data will also fill a gap in the Jiang family's knowledge.

Others might not understand the meaning of this code name, but Jiang Feng certainly did.

Developing something yourself is nowhere near as fast as copying someone else's homework; Ren Anran has just delivered a huge gift package.

This inevitably involves conditions, but these conditions are so compelling that Jiang Feng and others are willing to comply. They can even directly persuade the head of the research center, which is led by the Jiang family, and make it highly likely that the Lineage will make a decision to discuss matters such as control of the satellite.

What do you need?

Jiang Feng opened a private chat and sent a message to Ren Anran to inquire.

"I only joined because Zhang Xuezhou contributed the most money. Whatever benefits he gets, I'll get the same treatment!"

Ren Anran's response was extremely simple.

Just as Zhou Tianhao followed Zuo Teng in investing, Ren Anran also directly followed suit and invested in technology without asking why.

This made Jiang Feng click her tongue several times, feeling that this cold-faced woman had changed her personality in the past few years. The arrogant Ren Anran would actually follow a man's opinion, even without any reason.

This situation is almost second only to Zhou Yueyan finding a boyfriend.

There are hardly any good men in this world; they're all as weak as chickens!

She muttered something to herself, then looked at her strong arms and felt that most men would find it difficult to satisfy her needs, and she herself would find it difficult to meet the aesthetic standards of normal men.

"It seems Ren Anran is about to find a boyfriend, what should we do?"

With the satellite project nearing completion, Jiang Feng's thoughts inevitably drifted to other matters.

She may lack men, but the desire to reproduce and perpetuate one's genes is a thought that everyone has to some extent.

If possible, Jiang Feng still wants to have an offspring to play with.

Even if she doesn't amount to much in her life, at least she'll have something to look forward to.

"Professor Ren seems to have researched in vitro embryo technology in the past, but unfortunately those people messed it up, dismantling and destroying the normally developing medical technology. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry about having children today. We could just send an egg out, pay a sum of money, and wait to have a baby. Maybe I could even buy the genes of a top-quality male!"

She was filled with resentment, but when she felt a pat on the shoulder and Zhu Shengnan said, "What are you thinking about? You're acting like you're in heat," Jiang Feng awkwardly stopped her thoughts.

"Our group has 563 members. After removing some families who are contributing funds and others who likely didn't receive the information, there are currently 496 actual contributors. The total amount raised is 273.5 million yuan. We also have Ren Anran's technical information. Can we pull this together and make it happen?"

"Buying finished products would definitely be enough, even enough to launch just one satellite for us," Jiang Feng said. "But Gao Gao is seeking autonomy and control, and I don't have the final say on the research and development, nor do I know the actual costs. There's also the matter of coordinating the network connection with other departments. If additional funding is needed, we'll have to discuss it again!"

When such a massive cash flow converges, even someone like Jiang Feng, who has seen large sums of money before, can't help but tremble.

Among these people, there are many who spend millions or tens of millions, but no one has ever spent money in the hundreds of millions.

Looking at the amount Zhu Shengnan had calculated, she felt that the amount raised far exceeded her expectations.

But Jiang Feng couldn't be completely certain at this point.

She then had to register a new company, allocate corresponding shares based on the investment, and negotiate step by step to reach a result.

"Once you're on this ship, are you worried about anyone leaving?"

Zhu Shengnan chuckled.

If there is a need for funds in the future, it will be easier to obtain the second installment after the first payment has been made.

They've started this whole thing, and they're bound to finish it eventually.
