On a smoothly moving tour bus, Jian Jia finished handing out the pink, palm-sized cartoon stickers, and then gave four marker pens to a few people in the back row.
After that, she returned to the front row, picked up a small loudspeaker from her seat, and shouted, "Let talk about these stickers."
"Use the marker pen to write the last three digits of your phone number on the sticker, then stick the sticker on the left side of your chest."
"If during today's interactions, you find soone nice but feel too shy to ask for their personal information..."
"Just rember the number on the sticker, log in to Lin Jie's studio's WeChat public account, enter this number..."
"And you'll be able to see so basic information registered by the other person with us."
"Got it?"
"Got it!"
After many people responded in unison, one guy shouted, "Miss, can I know your three digits?"
Jian Jia blushed slightly and humd, "I like guys who are bold and thick-skinned!"
Amidst the laughter, Jian Jia picked up the microphone again and said, "I see that many of you are sitting with the sa gender."
"We all understand the purpose of today, so don't wait until you reach the farmhouse resort."
"Now, follow my instructions!"
"All the guys, stand up and find a lady to sit with, or invite a lady to sit with you."
"If you can't invite soone, perform a talent show..."
The Phoenix Mountain Farmhouse Resort is located in the west suburb of Binhai City, amidst gentle hills.
It is said that these hills are the offshoots of Phoenix Mountain.
Lin Jie got off the bus and noticed that the large parking lot at the foot of the resort had only three or four SUVs and cars parked, indicating that the other tour buses were still on their way.
As he looked up, he saw a sizable square building nestled among green trees and red flowers, which was quite pleasing to the eye, especially with a babbling stream flowing through the building complex.
At this mont, Lin Jie saw a middle-aged man with a big belly hurrying over while loudly shouting, "Everyone, I apologize, the venue is booked by soone today... Oh, Expert Lin!"
"You're here. I am Wang Changming, the owner of the resort."
Seeing this chubby man running over with a satisfied smile, Lin Jie shook his chubby hand politely and said, "Boss Wang, we booked in a rush and have caused you trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble! Having you here is my honor, Lin Jie."
Wang Changming glanced at the entrance to the resort and asked, "Expert Lin, where are the others?"
Lin Jie explained, "Our bus was faster, they're still on the way."
The smile on Wang Changming's face widened as he gestured invitingly, "Expert Lin, please!"
"And everyone, please! The resort is ready!"
Lin Jie walked a few steps and noticed a stone path paved with bluestones, curving past the resort up to a sea of green trees and flowers.
He pointed in that direction and said, "Boss Wang, we'll take a walk around and discuss so things."
Wang Changming took a look at the few people following Lin Jie, noting their outstanding deanor, and realized these were also prominent figures.
"Alright, then I won't disturb you all for now."
"The flower trees behind the resort are in full bloom, definitely worth a look..."
Lin Jie held An Kexin's hand in front, followed by Cai Jinqiang, Fu Hekun, Su Liangqi, Zhou Hongzhi, and others walking slowly behind.
The group walked around the resort, ascended the steps, and strolled among the greenery, breathing in the fresh fragrance of plants, feeling quite refreshed for a mont.
Lin Jie turned his head to look at them and said softly, "The fundraising quota for the Anlin Garden project is only one billion, which is, of course, a huge project for us small households."
"But this re one billion may not be enough to catch the eyes of you two big chairn, Chairman Cai and Chairman Fu, right?"
Cai Jinqiang stretched his arms, doing a chest expansion exercise, and said with a smile, "One Anlin Garden isn't enough, but what about ten Anlin Gardens?"
"How about a hundred Anlin Gardens?"
Lin Jie and An Kexin stopped in their tracks and turned to look at them.
"What do you an?"
Cai Jinqiang nodded and said, "Chain brand, flourishing everywhere."
"Expert Lin, you are now the most renowned dical expert in the country, even hailed as the 'Child of Miracles.' Now, you've taken up a major research project on cancer treatnt."
"We have great confidence in the success of this project."
He eloquently continued, "Now, our country is rapidly aging, and with the busy work schedules of children, many families need to support four or even five or six elderly people."
"In such circumstances, the social demand for nursing hos will only increase."
"This is an incredibly massive investnt domain."
"It can be predicted that Expert Lin, your dical research achievents will continue to erge, and the nationwide people's trust in you will reach an unparalleled level in the dical field."
"And the Zhou Family's traditional Chinese supplents, with a heritage of hundreds of years, are also deeply trusted by the public."
Zhou Hongzhi said humbly, "Chairman Cai, you flatter ."
"We are far inferior to Expert Lin; we only have a bit of a reputation in Binhai and the surrounding area."
"Master Zhou is being too modest! As I know, every autumn people from all over the country co to seek diagnosis and dicine."
Cai Jinqiang looked at Lin Jie again and said confidently, "With your reputation, Expert Lin, and the prestige of the Zhou Family in Chinese dicine, this Anlin Garden project will surely be trusted by the public, and profits will naturally be no issue."
"However, to rapidly expand Anlin Garden nationwide, Expert Lin and the An Family lack nationwide connections and sufficient funds."
Pointing at himself, he said, "Zhengda Pharmaceutical has been in operation for decades, and we've built a fairly good network around the country."
Cai Jinqiang then pointed at Fu Hekun, laughing, "As for funding, Four Seas Bank can play the role of the God of Wealth."
Fu Hekun smiled and said calmly, "Four Seas Bank is willing to beco a strategic partner for the nationwide project of Anlin Garden, providing strong financial support for its nationwide expansion!"
Seeing Lin Jie and An Kexin looking over, Su Liangqi wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "My company specializes in chain hotels. Although our network and funds are not sizeable, training and service are our strengths."
"This nursing ho, in a way, is also a kind of alternative hotel."
"In terms of managent and service, I believe we can make a contribution."
Lin Jie turned his gaze to Cai Jinqiang's face again and asked with a smile, "Chairman Cai, you must be behind this encouragent, right?"
Cai Jinqiang chuckled and said, "You could say that!"
"I just happened to learn about this from President Su last night and instantly saw it as a great opportunity, so I communicated with Chairman Fu, Master Zhou, and others overnight."
"After talking with them, I confird that President An is already vigorously promoting this."
With great enthusiasm, Cai Jinqiang proposed, "Expert Lin, President An, why don't we cooperate together?"
"Establish ten, a hundred Anlin Gardens nationwide, providing ho-like services for the elderly in need?"
Lin Jie and An Kexin exchanged a glance, seeing the frustration in each other's eyes.
Darn, they were feeling overwheld by the pressure of managing the ten-billion project of just one Anlin Garden, cautiously handling it, while others were already planning to open a hundred.
Is this the difference in vision and realm brought by having abundant resources and influence?
Cai Jinqiang continued, "Expert Lin, President An, once the Anlin Garden project is launched, it prepares a large group of high-risk patients for Anlin Hospital in a certain sense!"
"In that case, Anlin Hospital can undoubtedly stand undefeated."
"Kexin, do you have any opinions?" Lin Jie asked.
Previously silent and trying to emphasize Lin Jie's leading role, An Kexin quietly said, "Ah Jie, it's your decision to make!"
Lin Jie hesitated for a mont and said, "Chairman Cai, I'd like to hear your specific plan."
Cai Jinqiang pondered briefly and then said, "Expert Lin, President An, and everyone else, I only have a preliminary idea to discuss with you."
"My idea is roughly divided into three steps."
"First, focus all efforts on building the demonstration garden of Binhai Anlin Garden."
"After accumulating one to two years of experience, then construct five to ten Anlin Gardens in major cities nationwide."
"After gaining one to two years of chain managent experience, expand nationwide at the pace of about ten per year..."
"This way, our annual investnt won't be too high."
"And even in the mid-term, Anlin Garden can sustain its rapid expansion without further investnt from us."
Lin Jie quite agreed with Cai Jinqiang's plan.
It's not too aggressive, but rather steady and solid.
Seeing Zhou Hongzhi, Fu Hekun, and Su Liangqi nodding in approval, indicating their agreent with Cai Jinqiang's idea, Lin Jie softly asked, "Do all of you favor the Anlin Garden project?"
Fu Hekun slowly remarked, "The Anlin Garden project aligns with the major trend of dostic social developnt and is bound to receive favor and support from national policies and local governnts."
"Plus, the reputation of Expert Lin and the Zhou Family in Chinese dicine is widely trusted by the public..."
Fu Hekun confidently expressed, "I have great faith in the success of this project."
Su Liangqi asserted, "I am also very confident about this project."
Zhou Hongzhi spoke up as well, "Last night, we had a thorough discussion at ho and unanimously recognized the project."
Lin Jie gave a soft "Oh," saying, "You are all experienced experts with unanimous optimism about this project, so its prospects must be very delightful."
"However..."
As he spoke, Cai Jinqiang, Zhou Hongzhi, Fu Hekun, and Su Liangqi showed so signs of tension.
They feared that Lin Jie might co up with an unexpected answer, not playing by the rules.
Lin Jie suddenly smiled and said, "For scarce goods, rchants like to play so tricks, such as bundling products."
"I also want to bind a project."
"If you want to agree, you must invest in another project of mine..."
