Chapter 7: The Lonely Commander, Plans Lacking Money

  In the afternoon, Maple Leaf Academy was bustling with activity. The usually empty campus during holidays was now filled with young students from all over the country.

  It's time for school to be over now, and students are appearing in twos and threes in various teaching buildings on campus. Some students head out of the campus, going home to eat, while others continue to linger on campus.

  The green environment of Fenglin Academy is famous among the top universities in the country, with dozens of beautiful scenic spots throughout the vast campus, which is also a favorite among young couples.

  As for why couples like such an environment... Hehehe, everyone understands this.

  Apart from the couples who were whispering sweet nothings to each other in various gardens, the only place where a large number of students gathered after school was around the sports ground on the east side of the campus. Many sports clubs were concentrated there. It was now the time for them to carry out their club activities.

  Among the many club activity rooms, the most eye-catching ones are the Jeet Kune Do department and the National Arts Society's large activity rooms. One has the largest number of people and the largest activity room, while the other is the strongest and forcibly occupies the large activity room.

  At this time, outside the activity room of the National Arts Society, Mochizuki Hoshiko gazed at the large gate in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that it had been a long time since he came here. Although it was only about 50 days since the martial arts competition incident, he had already spent five years in the movie world.

  He quietly walked into the training ground of the National Arts Society, and Muxing Xing found that this time the National Arts Society had many more students than usual. The current captain, Lei Zhen, was guiding a group of students to practice traditional Chinese martial arts on the side.

  "Old Mu! I'm surprised... you little scamp has finally shown up, where have you been all this time?" Lei Zhen exclaimed loudly as he walked over to Mu Chen Xing who had just arrived at the Martial Arts Society.

  "Hmm? You... are not bad, your aura has become even more stable now. How did you make another breakthrough so quickly?! It's really true that people can be envious of others to death! Leifeng, Old Zhao, Xiao Qi and the others all had some epiphanies after the last martial arts competition. Only I haven't changed at all..."

  "At that time, we went to your house together to find you, but the two tenants in your house said you had gone to the deep mountains to practice martial arts. Now it's good that they are all learning from your example and preparing to break through their own limits." Lei Zhen said with a gloomy face, seeing that Muxi Xing had once again surpassed himself.

  "No wonder I only found you here guiding these new members when I came in, you've worked hard!" Murong Xingxing said with a smile, patting Lei Zhen's shoulder.

  Lei Zhen laughed and said: "You're still a good friend! You know I, Old Lei, have been too tired on my own. Now that you've rushed back, I'll be much more at ease."

  For Mudan Star's arrival now, Lei Zhen is indeed very happy. Now all the main forces of this national martial arts society have gone out to make individual breakthroughs in their own martial arts.

  This has made Lei Zhen, the main general, extremely busy every day. Now that Mu Chen Xing is back, he should be able to relax a bit. However, this time he was destined to be disappointed, because Mu Chen Xing didn't have any free time now.

  Looking at Lei Zhen's delighted face, Mu Chen Xing apologized to him: "Old Lei, sorry about this! I also came to school to ask for leave, and the National Arts Society won't be able to make it for a while. It seems I won't be able to help you out."

  "Ah!"

  Upon hearing this unfortunate news, Lei Zheng's classmate, who had just been thinking he could relax a bit, immediately looked like he was stunned, his mouth agape as if an egg could fit inside.

  "Old Lei, old Lei, hey... are you okay?!" Seeing the stunned Lei Zheng beside him, Mu Chen Xing immediately reached out and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

  "Good grief! You guys one by one... Ah... Forget it, I guess I'm just born to suffer!" Lei Zhen sighed as he came to.

  Lei Zhen himself is also a master of national arts, he understands that in Chinese martial arts, the emergence of personal feelings in martial arts is not easy. Once you find the feeling, your own strength will be greatly improved.

  So when everyone else was on leave for training, he stayed behind alone to guard the National Arts Society without saying a word.

  Seeing Lei Zhen's dejected appearance, Mu Chen Xing smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "Anyway, we still have plenty of time. Let me share with you some insights and thoughts I've gained about martial arts during this period. See if it can be helpful to you."

  At this time, Muxin Xing had already decided to hand over his recent insights on martial arts and the basic moves of Shenquan Dao to this old friend, hoping that he could find his own path in martial arts from them.

  "That's good... Let's go." Lei Zhen regained his spirit upon hearing this and headed towards the conference room with Mu Chen Xing, while also reminding the new department members to practice seriously.

  ·······················

  At nine o'clock in the evening, Mochizuki finally returned home from the national arts society. He had already chatted with Lei Zhen for four hours at school today, and also taught him all the basic moves of Shenquan Road, as well as sharing his own training experiences with him.

  It's up to Leizhen's own comprehension now, but Mudustar has great confidence in this guy's strength. I believe that his strength will have a surprising improvement soon.

  As soon as Mu Chen entered the living room, he found Lao Zhou and Lao Xia holding some documents in their hands, sitting on the sofa with furrowed brows. It seemed like they had encountered a difficult problem that couldn't be solved.

  "What trouble have you two encountered again? Your brows are furrowed like this!" Mu Xunxing asked curiously as he walked up to them and sat down.

  "Mu Xiaozi, this is the design drawing of those bases you gave me. Old Zhou and I just calculated it, if we want to build a large base like in the movie world, the construction cost alone is astronomical. The initial estimate requires at least three billion US dollars." Lao Xia told Mu Xunxing with great helplessness.

  "30 billion... US dollars... that's nearly 200 billion yuan!" Even with Mo Dun Xing's current calm state of mind, he was still startled by his own calculation.

  20 billion RMB, what's the concept? Well... let me give you an example. China's latest J-10 fighter jet costs around 200 million RMB per unit. This amount of money can buy about 90 units. Enough to arm an air force division.

  At this time, Lao Xia once again raised a very realistic problem: "The money just now is only the basic cost of building the base. As for other necessities inside the base, such as various experimental instruments and related equipment, they need to be calculated separately."

  "Lao Xia, can you give me a definite message? How much funding do we need to build the base?" At this time, Muxin felt his blood pressure rising slightly, he knew that those research equipment were absolutely money-eating monsters.

  At this rate, even if I sell all the diamonds I got this time, it won't be enough to cover one-tenth of the funds needed for the entire plan. And now I don't have any quick way to make money. Moreover, the funds needed this time have already exceeded tens of millions.

  "We estimate that it will probably take around $10 billion! Oh...it's really a difficult situation!" Old Zhou couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, and he was very clear that $10 billion was not a small amount.

  Indeed, $100 billion is a staggering amount of money. Apart from major governments, very few individuals can afford to fork out such a large sum privately. Of course, those oil-selling guys in the Middle East are an exception.

  "Now that our plan has started, there's no reason to stop. As for the funding, we'll think of a way step by step. For now, let's think of some ways to get a sum of money as soon as possible, which can be used for the basic construction of the land I just bought. I looked at the remaining factory buildings today, although they are old-fashioned, but very solid and durable. With a slight renovation, it can become a new laboratory!" Mu Xingxing regained his calm demeanor after listening to Lao Xia and Lao Zhou's analysis, and spoke in a calm tone.

  Now that I've bought a great location to set up the base, no matter how difficult it gets, we have to keep going. If there's not enough money, then think of ways to get some, but now that the ambitions of Mu Chen and the others have been ignited, the plan can't be stopped, this is what they call an arrow shot from a bow cannot return.

  "These diamonds can't be taken out to sell frequently, because if we sell too often, it's really suspicious! Just now I discussed with Lao Xia, if we want to have a continuous source of funding, we can only use the skills in our hands to invest." Old Zhou nodded in agreement after hearing Mu Chen Xing's words and spoke out a method they thought of.

  Muxin Xing listened and said: "This method is not bad, but are these techniques a bit..."

  Knowing that Mudanxing is worried, Lao Xia said on the side: "Don't worry! The technology we are going to take out is a simplified version of the original technology. Although its function has been greatly weakened, it is still much more advanced than the same type of technology in the world today. Moreover, the technologies we take out are all for civilian use, so they will not arouse any suspicion!"

  "That's great! You'll hand over the refined technology to me when you're done. I think there's a suitable candidate for cooperation." Seeing that Lao Xia and the others had already considered all sorts of situations, Muxin Xing spoke up.

  "Is it your fiancée?" Old Xia asked jokingly at this time.

  "Ah... it's her! Anyway, it's just our own people." Seeing that Xiazhou didn't respond to his casual question and had a very strange expression, Lao Xia knew he had hit the nail on the head.

  Mudan Xing's fiancée, Liu Feiyan, was his classmate at Fenglin Academy. The two families were extremely close friends and had arranged their engagement since childhood. Her father is a high-ranking government official, while her mother is the most famous businesswoman in Lushan City and a renowned figure in the national business community. The Shengguang Group, under her mother's leadership, has operations all over the country. Liu Feiyan has shown exceptional business acumen since childhood and has a unique perspective. She now helps her mother manage the entire Shengguang Group.

  Although Mudan Xing and Liu Fei Yan didn't have any feelings for each other, Mudan Xing still admired Liu Fei Yan's business skills and methods. If she were to use these techniques, Mudan Xing believed that she would definitely discover their value.

  "Let's continue preparing to enter the movie world next. After all, everything we do is centered around this matter." Mu Chen Xing said, changing the subject.

  "Don't you need a rest?" Old Zhou asked with concern after hearing Mu Xunxing's words.

  "It's nothing... I've already rested for five years, that's enough. Why don't we go take a look at the plot of the next movie now?" After finishing speaking, Muxin Xing stood up first.

  Lao Zhou and Lao Xia saw that Murong Xing was so spirited, so they also nodded and stood up. In order to make future plans a reality, they had to start working hard now.
