After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu didn't care about money now, what he cared about was time.

As long as he could get the factory up and running, he could recoup his investment in the shortest amount of time.

"Then I'll go back and categorize the blueprints, and you help me get in touch with a few more machinery factories. Money is not an issue, as long as I can see these machines within ten days."

Zhang Fan was first stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly.

Just from these blueprints, the machinery Chen Yu needed was massive in size and not small in number.

Even if the orders were split among several machinery factories, each factory would receive a large order.

There would certainly be a nice referral fee for Zhang Fan from the corresponding factories.

"Alright, I'll call a few local machinery factories right now!"

After arranging with Zhang Fan, Chen Yu went to Xie Jiang's shop.

Riding the recent renovation wave, Xie Jiang took quite a few orders and made a nice sum of money, now taking a break at home.

"Old Xie, do you have any construction projects on your hands recently?"

Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Xie Jiang quickly got up, fanning himself with a hand fan.

"What's up? Old Chen, are you expanding your shop again?"

Chen Yu didn't beat around the bush, "I have a factory that I want you to help refurbish, and I'll give you all the subsequent projects."

Xie Jiang nearly spat out the tea he had just sipped.

"What? A factory?"

In their trade, factories were highly coveted.

They were easy, finished quickly, required fewer materials, and were profitable!

For these renovation and reconstruction crews, landing a project for a factory, even just a part of it, meant they could immediately set up a small construction company.

"Old Chen, you're not kidding with me, are you?"

"Do we need to kid with each other?" Chen Yu took out a simplified blueprint of the factory and spread it on the table.

This was the factory construction blueprint Hou Jianchang had given him before leaving.

"This factory is currently undergoing expansion, and the external construction is already halfway complete."

"After you take over, you can continue construction according to the original blueprint, and for some detailed issues, I will draw you another blueprint."

Xie Jiang's eyes were wide with excitement that was hard to express.

"Old Chen, you've really handed me a ripe fruit! When do we start? Just say the word."

"It would be best if we could start within these couple of days!" Chen Yu took out Hou Jianchang's business card, "If you're free now, go to this address and meet with Boss Hou to get an idea of the environment there."

Xie Jiang nodded repeatedly, "No problem, I'll go right away."

Seeing Xie Jiang leaving in such a hurry, Chen Yu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

The man had finally finished his projects and could rest for a couple of days, but now he had to get busy again.

"Honey, are we going back to the shop? There seem to be a lot of media people gathered around there," Tong Ya said as she tugged on Chen Yu's arm, looking somewhat annoyed.

Chen Yu tilted his head to glance over at his own shop.

"Let's not, let's go home and get the design blueprints. The factory might need to start operations by tomorrow."

As soon as Chen Yu arrived home, he saw Tuan Tuan had laid out a few cushions in front of the TV and was jumping along with the dance moves on the screen.

"Dad, Mom, how come you're back at this time?" Tuan Tuan was somewhat puzzled.

Chen Yu and Tong Ya usually didn't get home until after eight o'clock in the evening.

Chen Yu pinched Tuan Tuan's little cheeks, "Daddy had to design some things today, so he came back early."

Tuan Tuan, somewhat excited, clapped his little hands and then took Tong Ya's hand.

"Mommy, ever since you've been with Daddy, you rarely dance with me anymore. Do you not like Tuan Tuan anymore?"

No one could resist a little lucky beast making such a pitiful face.

"Don't cry, Tuan Tuan. Mommy happens to be free today. I'll teach you some new moves."

Chen Yu looked at the two before him, a smile showing at the corners of his mouth.

However, he did not linger there for long and quickly went down to the basement.

He took the complete drawings of the machine and divided them into individual parts, then scrambled the distribution.

After all, the machines he was designing and manufacturing were exclusive, and if he handed over the complete drawings to the same machinery factory, they might manufacture them independently, which would be a great loss for Chen Yu.

After he finished dividing them, Chen Yu made a phone call to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan had some connections in Suzhou City and, being a talented graduate in mechanical engineering, amazingly secured six machinery factories in just one afternoon.

Chen Yu split the drawings in front of him again, organized them into six sets, took photos and sent them to Zhang Fan, also marking the quantities of parts required.

Chen Yu took the architectural drawings of the factory he had acquired, made some minor modifications on them, wrote down some of his requirements, and sent the photos to Hou Jianchang and Xie Jiang.

Putting down his phone, Chen Yu stretched lazily and opened another bottle of red wine to quench his thirst.

What remained now was to solve the problem of sales channels.

Originally, Chen Yu had planned to set up a large number of branches like some fast-food restaurants, with the factory supplying semi-finished ingredients directly.

But on further thought, the fast-food restaurant industry had already reached saturation, and trying to follow these old paths seemed unworkable now.

Moreover, the previous collaboration between Yuanyi Milk Tea and the convenience stores had inspired Chen Yu.

He could also use this creative idea, negotiate with all the fast-food outlets across the country, and supply them with semi-finished products.

Additionally, the braised dishes could be made fully cooked, simply packaged to create a brand, and then have contracts signed with major supermarkets.

In other words, lay his eggs in someone else's nest.

This would not only allow for quick recouping of funds but also enable a rapid takeover of the market.

"[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business. Today's net profit is 1.636 million yuan, earning 1,636,000 points. The current total cumulative points are 2,787,880 points]"

Hearing the system's notification, Chen Yu realized it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

A quick check revealed that after today's payment to Hou Jianchang, he had a total of 23.92 million yuan in his current account.

This amount of money might be a bit tight to fully finalize the machinery and the later construction and decoration of the factory.

The urgency now was to find good sales channels and obtain an advance payment.

However, Chen Yu's personality had always been introverted, and although he had acquired so many skills now, he could not change this inherent trait.

Ten days to pre-sell was indeed a bit difficult for him.

Moreover, the factory was still in the planning stage, so who would dare give him an advance payment easily?

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, "Have I been too hasty this time?"

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

"Son-in-law, I heard you're setting up a factory? Can I place an advance order for a batch of products? I can pay in full."
