Chapter 115 The Business Journey Begins Again, Xin'an Creates Brilliance
Su Jinxin took out the land deed and excitedly described her grand plan to Yan Cheng'an—a super amusement park that integrates entertainment, dining, and shopping!
Carousel, roller coaster, Ferris wheel... Yan Cheng'an was stunned by these unheard-of novelties, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
"Although that piece of land in the west of the city is remote, it has the advantage of being large enough!" Su Jinxin pointed to the land deed, full of ambition, "I'm going to turn it into the most bustling place in the entire capital!"
Yan Cheng'an looked at his wife's radiant appearance with eyes full of doting affection, as if nothing was impossible for her.
However, she couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea: "Xin'er, the idea is good, but the start-up capital..."
Su Jinxin waved her hand, with a "no problem" expression: "Don't worry about the money, I have a good plan!"
However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.
Su Jinxin's new plan encountered problems not long after it was launched.
First, there's the issue of funding. Although she had earned a lot of money before, she was still struggling to make ends meet to build such a large amusement park.
Secondly, there's the issue of manpower; finding so many skilled craftsmen is no easy task.
To make matters worse, her colleagues immediately sensed a threat when they learned of Su Jinxin's plan.
They secretly conspired to give her a hard time.
Various negative rumors began to circulate in the market, saying that Su Jinxin's amusement park was a pipe dream and was destined to lose everything. Many suppliers believed the rumors and refused to cooperate with her.
Su Jinxin's plan stalled from the very beginning.
She sat in the study, rubbing her temples, feeling immense pressure.
This feels like being relentlessly targeted by your opponent in a game; it's like a hellish start!
Yan Cheng'an walked in carrying a cup of hot tea. Seeing his wife's worried expression, he felt heartbroken.
He gently placed the teacup on the table and said softly, "Xin'er, don't overwork yourself. If you really can't..."
"No way!" Su Jinxin suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with an indomitable light. "I, Su Jinxin, am not one to give up easily!" She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. "It's time to unleash my secret weapon..." She picked up a brush and wrote a name on a blank sheet of paper... Su Jinxin's paper clearly bore the four characters "Lu Ban Reborn." That's right, it was that unassuming but incredibly skilled person in the capital who could build airplanes (or wooden kites in this era) out of bamboo!
This reincarnation of Lu Ban, whose real name is Lu Dali, is a treasure boy that Su Jinxin accidentally discovered in her previous life.
Although he was highly skilled, he was not good at socializing and was ostracized by his peers, so he could only take on small jobs.
Su Jinxin personally paid a visit, pouring out her grand plans and ingenious ideas. Lu Dali listened with shining eyes, rubbing his hands and stamping his feet excitedly: "Boss Su, your ideas are simply... brilliant! I've been dreaming of making these things, but I've never had the chance!"
With Lu Dali joining the project, Su Jinxin's project progressed rapidly.
She started with small-scale projects, such as carousels and some simple amusement rides.
These little gadgets may look insignificant, but their advantage lies in their low production cost and short production cycle, allowing for a quick return on investment.
More importantly, these gadgets are all novelties that have never been heard of in this era!
It became an instant hit throughout the city as soon as it was launched!
Those small vendors who had been misled by their peers and refused to cooperate with Su Jinxin were dumbfounded and filled with regret.
"This... how is this possible?" The industry leaders stared wide-eyed as they watched the endless stream of people pouring into Su Jinxin's amusement park. "Where did she get so many strange things?"
Su Jinxin watched all this with a slight smile, secretly pleased: Hmph, you're all too green to fight me!
However, this is just the beginning.
Just as Su Jinxin was preparing to expand the scale and launch larger amusement facilities, she discovered an even more troublesome problem—a shortage of timber!
The special type of wood she needed was simply unavailable on the market!
"It seems someone is pulling strings behind the scenes..." Su Jinxin narrowed her eyes, her tone icy.
Just then, Yan Cheng'an walked in, holding a letter in his hand. "Xin'er, look..."
Su Jinxin took the letter, read it quickly, and sneered, "Heh, just as I expected, it's those old guys pulling the strings behind the scenes!" The letter succinctly explained that the timber industry had been monopolized by several industry peers, who were trying to use this to control Su Jinxin and force her to submit.
“Xin’er, don’t worry, I’ve already sent someone to contact other timber merchants,” Yan Cheng’an gently handed Su Jinxin a cup of hot tea. “I’ve got everything covered.” He gently pulled Su Jinxin into his arms and whispered in her ear, “Rest when you’re tired, don’t push yourself too hard.”
Feeling Yan Chengan's warm embrace, Su Jinxin felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
This guy usually seems aloof and ascetic, but he's actually quite reliable when it really matters!
She took a deep breath, sweeping away her fatigue: "It's okay, this little thing is no problem for me!"
She's not one to give up easily!
Since the local timber merchants aren't doing a good job, let's find another way!
Su Jinxin's mind raced, and she immediately came up with a brilliant idea—import it!
Without hesitation, Su Jinxin immediately contacted overseas businessmen she had previously worked with and placed a high-priced order for a batch of high-quality timber.
The news caused an uproar throughout the business world!
"Has Su Jinxin gone mad? She actually spent such a high price to import timber!"
"She's burning through money! Let's see how long she can keep this up!"
Those colleagues who were originally waiting to see Su Jinxin make a fool of herself are now all green with envy.
What surprised them even more was that Su Jinxin's niche products—amusement facilities such as carousels and swings—actually attracted the attention of some major investors!
“Ms. Su, we are very interested in your project and hope to invest in your new business plan,” a well-dressed investor said to Su Jinxin with a smile.
Following this, more and more investors came to Su Jinxin's projects, expressing their willingness to invest.
Those colleagues who once suppressed her are now dumbfounded, beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret.
Looking at everything before her, Su Jinxin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
However, just then, Lu Dali rushed over, his face pale: "Boss Su, something bad has happened..."
Lu Dali, drenched in sweat and panting, reported, "Boss Su, something terrible has happened! The craftsmen... they've abandoned their work!"
Su Jinxin frowned slightly: "Abandon your responsibilities? What do you mean? Did we all transmigrate?" She paid double the wages!
Is disappearing now a popular trend?
"No, it's not time travel!" Lu Dali hurriedly waved his hands, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "They said... they said that our carousel, swings and stuff are things they've never heard of or seen before, they... they can't make them!"
Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit amused and exasperated.
So these experienced craftsmen were scared by her "avant-garde" design?
It's like asking her to build a rocket; she'd be completely clueless!
"Let's go take a look." Su Jinxin stood up, put on her cloak, and looked like a big shot on an inspection tour.
She wanted to see if these experienced craftsmen were truly incompetent or just putting on airs!
Upon arriving at the construction site, I saw a group of craftsmen gathered together, discussing the blueprints in a noisy and worried manner, looking like wilted eggplants.
"How...how does this thing spin?"
"This rocking horse moves up and down? I've been a carpenter for decades and I've never seen anything like it!"
"That's right! This swing is so high, if someone falls off, they'll be crippled!"
Su Jinxin listened to their complaints and chuckled inwardly.
It seems it's time to show the real technology!
She cleared her throat and said loudly, "Masters, I know these things are new to you, but once you master the techniques, they are not difficult at all."
She picked up the blueprints, pointed to the core structure of the carousel, and began to explain the principles.
From gear transmission to bearing lubrication, from mechanical balance to safety assurance, she explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
The craftsmen's initially bewildered eyes gradually brightened, and they listened with great interest, as if they had opened the door to a new world.
However, just as Su Jinxin was explaining the key part, she suddenly stopped, looked at Yan Cheng'an, and said meaningfully, "Husband, look at the material for this key part..." Yan Cheng'an understood and took over the conversation with a serious expression: "It seems... not enough."
