Chapter 996: Eight hundred and ninety-one Monopoly creates profit

If we accept the investment, the whole thing would change its flavor.

Witnessing such a bizarre scene, Lei Mi was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to proceed.

If that was the case, what should be done next?

Could we just pretend as if nothing had happened?

"Lei Mi, remember our original intention," Gu Chen said to him calmly.

That sentence was like a wake-up call for him.

It kept him from losing his sight in front of the massive investments.

By then, he had thoroughly understood Apple.

He found that Apple truly seemed like a person without material needs.

In those deep eyes, what shone through was not the character for "money."

It was more a sense of responsibility and mission.

At that moment, Gu Chen’s image in his heart instantly grew to that of a giant, leaving him deeply shaken.

"I will definitely not forget," Lei Mi said before leaving the gang.

Gu Chen remained in the office.

He took a moment to digest the recent events.

The investment was within his expectations.

It was just that he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly,

and the sum was indeed substantial.

But now, Gu Chen had no interest in watching them count the money.

His mind was incessantly anticipating the possible developments to come.

According to his prediction, a significant increase in brand exposure would be first.

Having stirred the whole country, it could be said that the entire nation knew about this event.

If the product were indeed to be sold, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

Countless people would be eagerly anticipating this item.

That was also one of the highlights.

The only step remaining was mass production.

Once mass production succeeded, it would be like the proverbial cooked rice—completely certain.

Even just during this time, their company’s email had been filled with an overwhelming number of inquiries.

All asking about more detailed information regarding the phone.

About how to purchase it, and at what price, among other things.

The clamor from everyone was very loud, the company’s inbox was already filled to the brim.

And Gu Chen, the person involved, was neither rushed nor slow, remaining composed.

He sat in his office looking quite comfortable.

He even took out his phone and dialed the number he had been intending to call.

The call didn’t take particularly long to go through.

Soon, a man’s voice came from the other end of the line.

This man’s voice sounded a bit unfamiliar.

"Have you taken care of the things I asked you to do?"

Gu Chen asked the man on the other end of the phone in a very straightforward manner.

The man on the phone quickly gave Gu Chen a very precise response.

"All the tasks you entrusted to me have been taken care of. Rest assured, there won’t be any mistakes," the man assured Gu Chen directly.

Gu Chen felt very satisfied after listening.

After receiving a very confident reply from the other end of the line,

Gu Chen immediately hung up the phone.

He pondered his next strategic move.

Everything was arranged in accordance with a systematic commercial layout.

At that moment, Gu Chen thought of a future smartphone manufacturer.

This manufacturer owned two brands, Little Blue and Little Green.

It could be said that these two brands occupied a large portion of the market share.

The paths these two brands took were essentially the same.

If one owned multiple smartphone brands,

and turned them all into popular models, would that mean no matter which phone customers wanted to buy,

the money would ultimately end up in one’s own hands?

Gu Chen felt that this plan was very good, but then he reconsidered and suddenly realized something was off.

Isn’t this a monopoly?

At that moment, he felt somewhat amused and helpless, and as for monopolies, there weren’t any particularly comprehensive regulations in place yet.

Which means, controlling everything was indeed something Gu Chen could do.

At least until thorough improvements were made, Gu Chen could make a very, very substantial amount of money.

By the time improvements were done, the money he would have made would be enough.

He wouldn’t need to continue such a business anymore, Gu Chen thought carefully.

It seemed everything was indeed as he had figured.

So, at that time, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, as a multitude of possibilities began to emerge in his mind.

He was unsure whether to act as he had considered.

If he did, Gu Chen felt there were some aspects that were somewhat indecent.

By going down that road, a lot of people’s interests would likely be harmed.

If he truly could monopolize the smartphone industry,

the amount of money he could earn would be astronomical.

Even though the current craze wasn’t as intense as the initial smartphone boom,

the industry still had significant influence in this era.

At one point, someone was even willing to sell a kidney for a phone.

And eventually died from an infection, so now Gu Chen was also considering whether or not to go through with his plan.

Because it seemed there were justifiable reasons for doing it.

He thought it over and over and felt it wasn’t out of the question.

In the end, Gu Chen quickly made up his mind; if everything went smoothly, he could start by giving it a try.

But there was no need to reach the point of a monopoly, just create a few more smartphone manufacturers.

Wouldn’t that solve the problem?

The only concern now was whether he had sufficient funds, as he had many other things to do.

The money could be very useful in the future; he couldn’t invest it all.

Although he was accustomed to using money to make money,

that meant continually reinvesting his earnings and then investing yet again before the previous investments matured.

This cycle of reinvestment was a business model that Gu Chen quite favored.

In such times, his investments would almost always double upon return.

And a sure investment meant what? It meant he faced no risks, and the money he could earn would come much faster than buying stocks.

It was like his venture with the internet café. If he had the money back then,

he could have opened one in every city across the country.

Then charge everyone according to that standard; in the initial days of the internet café,

in just the first three months, it had earned nearly a seven-figure sum for Gu Chen.

Just from one city, and there were countless such cities nationwide.

If he could spread this business model, the money he could earn would be shocking.

Only in such circumstances could he achieve true peace of mind.

He conservatively estimated that making a few hundred million was definitely feasible.

Of course, even now it wasn’t too late to join, but Gu Chen didn’t want the hassle anymore.
