Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

So I thought about starting a shared bicycle project, and of course, these bicycles would be free for college students to use.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, feeling that this young man Zhou Yuwen indeed has a sense of social responsibility.

However, some people also mocked Zhou Yuwen, thinking that he was still too young, wanting to give back to society without earning much money first?

Does society need a young inexperienced guy like you to give back? You've only made tens of millions.

Even the billionaires don't speak with such confidence.

Until the shared bicycle project was rolled out.

Nearly one million college students in Southern Jiangsu all registered for the Qu Campus app.

In three months, Qu Campus already ranked in the top ten social apps in the country, with high daily activity, especially due to the short video section launched by Zhou Yuwen. Although it wasn't a hit like Kuaishou, it already had a lot of loyal users.

In mid-October, the shared bicycle project released an announcement stating that although they had been striving to make free projects work, they found many people were misusing the service by cutting the chains off shared bicycles and secretly taking them home for personal use.

To better maintain order and to let more people who need it use the shared bicycles,

starting today, shared bicycles would require a one hundred yuan deposit.

Of course, this deposit is refundable at any time. As long as you register an account and pay a two hundred yuan deposit, you can use the shared bicycles freely.

One hundred yuan may not seem like a lot, but for college students, it's considered a 'large sum of money.'

After the announcement, many college students chose to reject it, even inevitably mocking Zhou Yuwen a bit, but most people had a certain degree of trust in Zhou Yuwen, thinking it was just a deposit, they've used it for so long, it makes sense to pay a deposit.

Southern Jiangsu, nearly one million college students, seventy thousand had already registered as shared bicycle users, and possibly only a hundred thousand were willing to pay the deposit.

But even if only a hundred thousand paid, at two hundred yuan per person, that's still a huge sum of twenty million.

The issue is that it took only three days after the announcement.

Zhou Yuwen already had twenty million in deposits in his hands.

For ordinary people, this may not seem much, but for those playing in the internet field, they suddenly realized — something's not right!

This is definitely off!

As everyone knows, 2014 was the year when even a pig could fly by standing in the wind's direction, numerous people were doing crazy things during this time, but cash was the key; whoever had money could make money roll in. Numerous people were taking loans, raising funds, and crowdfunding, ultimately wanting money!

As a result, Zhou Yuwen silently started a shared bicycle project and suddenly gathered a huge sum of twenty million, and this was in just one city.

What if it was all the cities?

What if the group wasn't limited to just college students?

At this moment, countless capitals began to coil like wolves. Basically, on the second day of the announcement, wolves scented the opportunity and rushed over, saying they wanted to invest in Zhou Yuwen. The shared bicycle project is just too fantastic, a project benefiting all humanity, and it must be in every city.

Zhou Yuwen knew that this project had no technical content, and even without agreeing to their investments, they could create it themselves. So instead, it would be better for Zhou Yuwen to utilize their power to earn some extra money and, once the money was about enough, directly sell it off.

Thus, Zhou Yuwen quickly reached an agreement with several major capitals, owning 51% of the shares while the remaining 49% was shared by them, with his side providing the technology and bicycles, and they help push the project nationwide.

During this time, Zhou Yuwen became quite popular, with media continuously hailing him as a business genius seen once in a century, saying that just a shared bicycle project could make him earn billions!

In fact, this project had just begun and wasn't that profitable, but people underneath were good at hyping it, even saying the shared bicycle project would be popular overseas.

Media attention was lively.

However, Zhou Yuwen himself remained very low-key; shared bicycles were just a small step towards cash flow, the second step was to have his own office building.

In December, as the shared bicycle project became a hit, Zhou Yuwen was also named one of Jinling City's ten outstanding young businessmen, among whom Jiang Xinyi was the only female.

Not having seen her for a few months, Jiang Xinyi had matured quite a bit, but from start to finish, Zhou Yuwen didn't focus his thoughts on Jiang Xinyi.

This was a very simple small-scale award ceremony; besides ten below-thirty businessmen with some reputation in Jinling, there was also a certain deputy official from Jinling.

After the event finished, Zhou Yuwen proactively approached the person in charge, bringing up his desire for a piece of land to build his own office building.

The person in charge was very interested, asking Zhou Yuwen if he had a specific direction now.

Zhou Yuwen said that all of his projects were currently near University Town, but he needed to move out of the University Town, and the Olympic Sports area, whether in terms of traffic or geographical location, was excellent.

"Near the Olympic Sports?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yuwen mention Olympic Sports right away, the deputy official was somewhat troubled. If it had been a couple of years ago, reserving a piece of land there would have been no problem, but the issue was that it was now 2014, and the later planning had actually been confirmed long ago, just not released.

He didn't understand why Zhou Yuwen would precisely propose this area, but after seriously considering it, he felt Zhou Yuwen was indeed quite a promising young businessman in the city, and now that the outside was continuously hyping the shared bicycle project to potentially create hundreds of millions of profits, keeping it in Jinling City wouldn't be a bad achievement for himself.

So the deputy official thought for a moment and said, Xiao Zhou, your request is a bit difficult.

But it's not unsolvable.

"How about this, let me consider it for two days, I'll have my secretary contact you later."

"Alright, thank you for your effort." Zhou Yuwen nodded.

Zhou Yuwen knew this matter was as good as settled.

If it couldn't be solved, Zhou Yuwen would choose to go to Suzhou to pick a piece of land for construction.

Just as Suzhou New District had cheap land prices, estimated at three to four thousand, which was quite reasonable, knowing that four years later, the Suzhou High-Tech Zone's housing prices would rise to thirty to forty thousand.

Right after he separated from the deputy, he heard someone beside saying, "Mr. Zhou's development pace is truly impressive, in just a few days, he's already started building his office building."

Just from hearing the voice, Zhou Yuwen knew who it was.

Sure enough, it was Jiang Xinyi, dressed in a finely crafted outfit and sporting a lady-like demeanor.

It must be said that if Jiang Xinyi wholeheartedly embraced being a lady, she did have a certain allure.

Her hair was tied up, wearing a black turtleneck undershirt, making her tall and slender figure more prominent, with a slim waist matched with a well-fitting pencil skirt.

Below the skirt was a pair of thick black stockings, coupled with a seemingly expensive pair of flat business shoes, showing a young duchess's elegance all over her face.

Zhou Yuwen glanced at Jiang Xinyi; she looked dignified and slightly naive, too eager to flaunt in front of her ex-boyfriend.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yuwen didn't have time for such childish games now and just nodded slightly, saying, "I recently saw reports about your company; real estate is quite a promising field. Work hard, and I believe you'll make a mark in the future."

After saying this, Zhou Yuwen nodded again and intended to leave.

Seeing that Zhou Yuwen was so formal with her, almost like a stranger, Jiang Xinyi felt a bit unsettled.

She couldn't help but catch up, saying, "Zhou Yuwen."

"Does Miss Jiang have anything else?" Zhou Yuwen asked flatly.

"?" Jiang Xinyi froze.

Looking at the indifferent Zhou Yuwen, she opened her mouth but finally said, "I have a business deal; I wonder if Mr. Zhou would be interested?"

"Oh?"
