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

"Old Chen!" Ning Kai gently tapped Chen Yu's shoulder and passed him a tablet computer at the same time.

"I've looked at the preservative technologies of several large food factories. Should we learn from them?"

Chen Yu shook his head, "These technologies are too traditional; we must come up with something new!"

Ning Kai sighed helplessly. To create new technology, they needed a research and development team. Just thinking here among themselves wouldn't lead to anything.

Besides, they were chefs who had previously focused on fresh ingredients. Asking them to work on preservation technology was indeed challenging.

Just then, a vast array of information suddenly filled Chen Yu's mind, followed by the system's alert tone.

It was a complete set of sterilization and packaging processes, definitely more advanced than any food factory's current preservation technology in the world.

Chen Yu couldn't help but smack his forehead; he had forgotten about having the system.

Excited, he immediately grabbed the blueprints and started drawing. Before long, he had mapped out the entire process and organized the theoretical support for the whole technology.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu had taken all the reports and materials to the relevant departments for verification.

This process was quite troublesome; it wasn't until six o'clock that he obtained part of the permits.

After resolving these issues, Chen Yu went straight to Sheng Business Club.

This place was an ideal spot for doing business; everyone in Suzhou City's business circles liked to negotiate deals here.

When Chen Yu arrived, all the heads of the factories in the industrial park were already waiting there.

Hou Jianchang was also there, making small talk with these people to liven up the atmosphere.

But every face present bore a look of worry; if they didn't transfer their assets and factories soon enough, it would be too late.

The moment the relevant departments issued an order, they could forcibly demolish their factories, leaving them with paltry compensation at best, perhaps only a banner for protecting relics.

When everyone saw Chen Yu come in, they immediately became excited.

Yet, some people furrowed their brows and looked Chen Yu up and down with caution.

To them, Chen Yu was simply too young to be an angel investor.

Unless he was a rich second generation who splurged money freely, but Chen Yu didn't seem to be that sort of person.

While people were speculating, Hou Jianchang had already walked up and ushered Chen Yu to sit down aside.

"Let me introduce everyone, this is the investor in my factory, President Chen! I went through a lot of trouble to invite him over, so if you have anything to discuss, go ahead. President Chen doesn't have much time."

While everyone was still hesitant, a person in his forties suddenly stood up and sat next to Chen Yu.

"President Chen, my factory was just established less than a year ago, with a total investment of forty million! I plan to transfer it completely; please offer a fair price."

With that, the man took out a pile of documents from his briefcase and respectfully handed them to Chen Yu.

In fact, this person was also doubtful about Chen Yu's identity, but with things having come to this point, he couldn't care less and was prepared to take a shot in the dark.

Chen Yu just glanced at the documents in his hand, made a brief analysis of the other party's asset allocation, and then placed them on the table.

"Your factory has too many burials underneath. I'm afraid they all need to be excavated. Right now, I can only purchase some of your factory's equipment and your property rights, plus the land use rights of that parcel of land."

"No problem!" The man immediately took out a seal and a signature pen from his briefcase, "Then please quote a price!"

Chen Yu feigned contemplation, then signed a figure of fifteen million directly on the documents.

"Given the current situation, this is the best price I can give you. However, I will take over all the current workers in your factory. Their insurance expenses and subsequent arrangements are all on me."

The man got excited, although fifteen million wasn't a high price, taking over all his employees was like a godsend to him.

Not to mention the unemployment benefits alone for the workers would cost him quite a sum.

Now that all the workers would smoothly transition to Chen Yu's company, it was more than he could ask for.

It also meant he would directly receive fifteen million, and he wouldn't have to worry about anything that followed.

After the contract was signed, Chen Yu took out a bank draft with a face value of ten million and then transferred another five million from a bank account.

Seeing this, everyone else no longer hesitated and queued up to sign contracts with Chen Yu.

After taking over all the nearby factories and lands, Chen Yu spent a total of seven hundred million.

Since this money was all from the bounty he earned during the mission in the Arctic, spending it didn't hurt at all.

It was already midnight by the time all the contracts were signed.

The factory heads left in a hurry after signing their contracts, fearing Chen Yu might change his mind.

Little did they know that they were the ones at a loss.

Chen Yu looked at the contracts before him, unable to contain his excitement. Now he could expand his factory without restraint and even build an industrial park in the shortest possible time.

He had already analyzed the burial groups beneath the development zone, and most had been severely damaged with significant waterlogging.

So even if the relevant departments exhumed them, they could only take away all the treasures after clearing the site.

Eventually, this land could only be included in the scope of the development zone.

The system had already provided Chen Yu with an excellent plan to excavate the underground burial groups.

In less than two months, the industrial park could be completely cleared out.

After quickly organizing the contracts in his hand, Chen Yu handed them over to Hou Jianchang.

"Old Hou, I'll leave these things in your care. Make sure to take good care of the workers who have transferred from those factories."

Having said this, Chen Yu took out a one-hundred-million bank draft to be invested in settling those workers.

After all, these workers were skilled laborers, which would save him from any trouble when hiring in the future.

After taking care of these matters, Chen Yu drove home.

Little did he expect that as soon as he got there, he found Tong Ming with an elderly man sitting in the living room, chatting leisurely with Chen Guang.

"Ah, young Chen is back! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become even more handsome, and your build even stronger!"

Tong Ming exclaimed excitedly as he patted Chen Yu's shoulder.
