Liu Meilan chuckled, "Third Brother, you don't need to thank me. We invested over there and made money, and the profits were substantial."

Professor Xie agreed wholeheartedly, "Let me see what companies you have there? If possible, I'll use my connections to get you more investment."

In the past, Liu Yibang might have maintained a certain reserve, but not now. With such resources, there's no need for him to be aloof. As long as he gets things done well, benefits the local people, makes money for investors, and generates revenue for the government, it's a win-win-win situation.

Right, it should be a win-win-win situation: he can gain political achievements and get promoted.

Liu Yibang showed the materials to his mother, "Mom, don't force yourself. Now I have more resources at my disposal and a wider range of potential investors. Even if we don't have a suitable candidate, we can still find someone else."

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Okay, let me take a look!"

Professor Xie flipped through the documents, looked them over carefully, and suddenly noticed the veterinary drug factory. He said, "Third brother, my research lab studies human medications, but sometimes scientific research is like this—you might plant flowers with care but they don't bloom, while willows planted unintentionally thrive. We've developed a drug that's a bit too strong for humans, even in small doses, but it's suitable for veterinary use. We're currently conducting small-scale trials, and the results are very promising. In another six months, with large-scale trials, if we pass, we'll break the foreign patent and be able to obtain affordable and effective veterinary drugs, reducing the overuse of veterinary hormones."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yibang suddenly looked up, "Mom, is it... really that effective?"

Professor Xie nodded. "Based on my experience, the effect is indeed that good, and it's safer than some commonly used drugs. Your livestock industry is developing rapidly, so you should need something like this. I see that there is indeed a veterinary drug factory in your city. Once I pass the review, I can authorize your factory to use it. However, those rigid factories need to be reorganized before I can authorize them to use it."

Liu Yibang beamed, "Mom, thank you! How about I contribute my technology as equity?"

Professor Xie waved his hand, "No need, our institute now licenses the technology to external users and then charges a licensing fee."

While investing might yield higher returns, it's also very troublesome, requiring audits and consuming considerable time and effort. Most importantly, Liu Yibang works there, and her investment in a company there could raise suspicions of embezzling state-owned assets.

Professor Xie is a man of strong principles and was unwilling to do that.

"Okay, sure." Liu Yibang agreed. "After the New Year, when I get back, I'll start a city-wide investigation, with a focus on veterinary drug factories."

Professor Xie looked around again and said, "You also have a medical device company here, which is quite good. We can also attract investment to upgrade the equipment and meet the needs of the western region."

Liu Yibang drew it down. "Hmm, Mom, do you have any connections?"

Professor Xie took out his phone, found a number, and said, "Liangyi Medical Equipment Company produces products that are suitable for your area. You can visit them later. But, never mind, I'll take you there."

Liu Yibang quickly refused, "Mom, since you say it's suitable, then I'll go talk to them. I'll try my best no matter what method I use. It's already very kind of you to tell me this information; I don't want you to have to beg others for my sake."

It's fine if the family helps, but there's absolutely no need for them to go around asking for favors.

He served the people but brought no benefit to his family. Instead, his family had to rely on him for resources and then he had to ask others for favors. He put the cart before the horse.

Seeing his son's firm attitude, Professor Xie nodded, "Okay, I respect your decision. If you need anything, just let me know."

That's all that's within Professor Xie's capabilities.

Liu Meilan took it and looked at it. She saw that there was a state-owned factory producing high-purity monocrystalline silicon, which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to outdated technology.

"Third brother, after the New Year, Mom is going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. You can go with them. Your great-uncle's wafer fab needs all kinds of monocrystalline silicon. By introducing advanced foreign technology through your great-uncle, we can produce high-quality, low-priced materials and sell them directly to your great-uncle. This will generate even greater output value for both domestic and foreign manufacturers."

Liu Yibang was taken aback. "Is this a huge investment?"

Liu Meilan nodded, “The investment is huge, but the returns are equally substantial. Most importantly, you have reliable connections. Your maternal uncle and cousin will definitely bring you the best technology and equipment, and they won’t rip you off at the price. Of course, if you have the ability to persuade your cousin to invest, with the funds, the technology, and the local natural resources and manpower, this should be a success.”

"If you can secure this project, it will become a major local project for the next thirty years or even longer, continuously providing high returns to the local area. At the same time, it can attract and retain highly educated talents from the province and even the western region, as well as talents from the east."

Liu Yibang's eyes burned with enthusiasm; anything recommended by Liu Meilan was generally considered excellent.

My sister is absolutely right to highly recommend this monocrystalline silicon material factory now.

“Okay, I’ll call the leaders tomorrow and ask them to prepare more materials.” Liu Yibang was excited; this project would be the focus of his work next year.

Liu Meilan cautioned, "Third Brother, this project really can't be completed in a day or two. You need to personally investigate it. If foreign investment is introduced, restructuring will be necessary. There are many issues involved, so be prepared."

Liu Yibang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sigh, the current material factory is about to go bankrupt because of its outdated equipment and backward technology. I heard that wages are not being paid in full. If there is no restructuring and investment, it is only a matter of time before it goes bankrupt. The most valuable thing in that factory is probably those skilled workers who have worked their whole lives. Since that's the case, we might as well take a gamble."

“Great!” Liu Meilan agreed. “Qin Zheng might also be interested in this, and perhaps even willing to invest.”

“His business is very successful now. He also owns shares in his uncle’s wafer fab.” Liu Yibang’s tone was full of praise.

Liu Meilan smiled. "He has a good eye. He makes a lot of money every year from Dafu Jewelry, ornamental fish, white pearls, and boutiques. The economy is booming now, and it's more worthwhile to invest money than to keep it in an account. Besides, he's very enthusiastic about the projects I've identified as promising."

"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Liu Yibang laughed. "Then, I'll use your name to try and get Qin Zheng to invest!"

“It should be possible!” Liu Meilan smiled as well. “Third Brother, look at this special vehicle manufacturing company. It’s not bad; it has a solid foundation. It’s just that after other factories improved their technology in recent years, your competitiveness has become less. You not only need to introduce technology, but you also need to have research and development capabilities…”

Liu Yibang already knew these materials by heart, but after Professor Xie and Liu Meilan's advice, he gained a more thorough understanding. He will work hard next year to strive for even better results.
