Chapter 296: Chapter 255: Missing

Yin Shuangyang laughed heartily!

For Yu Dong to dare use this to convince him, he must really have something up his sleeve!

Because you couldn’t lie about something like this. The drawing was at 9:15 PM sharp. It was either right or it was wrong, with no room for fudging.

Other than someone who’d been reborn or someone with a specific ID number, no one could pull this off.

Yu Dong nodded. "That’s for the best. Because even if I win, I don’t know if I can claim the prize money quickly enough... If it’s too late, it’ll be useless."

Yin Shuangyang was stunned to hear Yu Dong was still thinking about the prize money after winning.

’He actually believes this?’

’A foolish university student...’

No wonder dominating Yanhai City was the biggest thing he could think of.

He also picked up on a key piece of information from what Yu Dong said... Yu Dong definitely hadn’t been reborn many times!

Otherwise, he would surely know that buying lottery tickets wasn’t a good way to get rich.

Wait!

Yin Shuangyang’s brow furrowed. He suddenly realized there was a bug in Yu Dong’s story.

"Brother Yu... since you’re worried you can’t claim the winnings, why not buy a ticket for Sunday’s drawing? Didn’t you say you were reborn on a Sunday?"

Yin Shuangyang stared intently at Yu Dong, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

’If, after I’ve shown such sincerity and given him so much respect, he’s still trying to play me for a fool...’

Hearing this, Yu Dong gave a helpless smile.

"President Yin, I can tell you don’t follow the lottery... Although the drawing is at 9:15 PM, the cutoff time for buying tickets each day is 8 PM. You can’t buy them after eight. I wanted to buy a ticket for Sunday, but there was no time."

Yin Shuangyang searched on his phone and found that it was indeed true.

He truly paid no attention to this kind of thing. Ever since he was a child, he knew that nothing in life is free.

"So that’s how it is. It’s truly a blind spot in my knowledge, haha~ You were reborn at 8 PM, so you just missed the cutoff."

"That’s right. I was reborn at 8 PM last Sunday, and the zombie outbreak will happen at 8 PM sharp this Sunday. That gives me exactly one week."

Yin Shuangyang didn’t dwell on it any longer.

"So, you came to me today because you have this trick up your sleeve as proof... I understand. Brother, since you dare to say it, I’ll believe you. Let’s talk about preparing for the post-apocalypse."

Yin Shuangyang was ready to get down to business. "Brother Yu, what do you think is most important after the apocalypse?"

"Shelter, supplies, and people."

Yin Shuangyang laughed.

"Brother Yu, what you said... makes sense. It’s very smart to recognize that people are important. Without so many common folk, who would work for us? But shelter and supplies are important to ordinary people. For us... those are things I can arrange with a single phone call. Since you found me after being reborn, I’ll show you a different way of playing this game. Let me tell you what I believe are the three key elements."

"Please."

"Power, transport, and firepower."

Yin Shuangyang had the confident air of an entrepreneur. Seeing Yu Dong’s confusion, he explained:

"Power. It’s the lifeblood of modern society. Without electricity, half the world would be paralyzed in an instant, and technology would regress a hundred years... If we control the power, we control modern industry. We can restart countless factories to work for us. That’s why I put it first."

Just then, his secretary knocked on the door. "President Yin, Director Sun has arrived."

"Perfect. Let Director Sun in. He’s the expert."

A middle-aged, balding man with a kind face and large earlobes walked in, quickly striding toward Yin Shuangyang with his hand outstretched.

"Hehehe~ President Yin! I was just grabbing a bite at the office when I got your call. I came right over, hoping to get a taste of the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast you’ve got here."

"Director Sun, come, sit. Let me introduce you to someone... This is Yu Dong, my sworn brother. From now on, he’s the second-in-command of Shuangyang Group. Seeing him is the same as seeing me."

Director Sun was startled. He quickly stood up and walked toward Yu Dong, his hand extended.

"President Yu! It’s an honor!"

Yu Dong shook his hand awkwardly. "Uh, huh..."

Yin Shuangyang had Director Sun sit next to him and then said, "Director Sun is the head of the Zongshan District power bureau. The entire power grid in that area is under his management. I was asked by the higher-ups to invest in a small project for them."

"Oh, it’s no small project! An investment of 500 million to build a 100-megawatt offshore photovoltaic pilot project. It’s the first of its kind in our province! President Yin is a pioneer in the province’s clean energy plan. Even our city leaders gain prestige because of you! Our power bureau... we’re just coordinating with President Yin’s project to connect this offshore solar farm to the grid."

To be honest, Director Sun was really just a minor player in this major affair... He had no idea why President Yin had summoned him.

’Shouldn’t he be discussing this with the city’s top leaders?’

Hearing about Yin Shuangyang’s 500-million-yuan investment, the corner of Yu Dong’s mouth twitched slightly.

’Is this the daily life of Yanhai City’s richest man?’

It seemed that the one hundred million Yin Shuangyang mentioned in his previous life... wasn’t just him bluffing.

Yin Shuangyang was very rich.

That’s why he was so quick to give Officer Wang 10 million in the previous life.

Yin Shuangyang asked, "So, how much electricity can my photovoltaic project generate per year?"

"With Yanhai City’s high-quality coastal sunlight, open sea areas, the excellent light gain from sea surface reflection, and the state-of-the-art photovoltaic modules President Yin purchased, the estimated annual power generation is around 150 million kilowatt-hours. The estimated annual revenue from electricity sales is 45 million yuan."

million units of electricity per year!

An average of 410,000 units per day!

This number left Yu Dong utterly shocked!

What kind of behemoth was this!

’Is this the power of capital?’

Yin Shuangyang smiled with satisfaction. "Director Sun, then for this offshore photovoltaic project of mine, if I wanted to divert a portion of the electricity to supply my own factories, would that be easy to arrange?"
