Chapter 512 -512: Networking Solution
Feng Jun didn’t even know how this guy had gotten hold of his mobile phone number.
But County Chief Chi revealed his hand right away, “Did Mou Miao visit Zhengyang yesterday? Xiao Ma, you said you wanted to take on the forest land contract, and I have indeed moved heaven and earth for you, finally with some result… Shall we talk when you’re back?”
Was it really his doing? Feng Jun felt like retorting, That’s not what you told Mou Miao, is it?
But such matters couldn’t be hashed out in earnest. County Chief Chi making such statements probably meant he was involved and had lent a hand—whether that was a big help, a small one, or even a hindrance…
Anyway, since Chi Zhijie seemed intent on deeply interfering in the matter, Feng Jun didn’t mind treating him as the person in charge; of course, if County Chief Chi knew what his “person in charge” truly entailed in Feng Jun’s mind, he might have immediately abandoned the notion of persuading him.
Good and bad fortune come without invitation; it’s people themselves who call them forth.
...
After some thought, Feng Jun said he was tied up with a lot of stuff in Zhengyang and couldn’t make it for now, so why didn’t they go ahead with the operations first?
A project of this magnitude couldn’t produce results in the blink of an eye; just the feasibility studies and scheme discussions alone would consume quite a bit of time.
Chi Zhijie was genuinely serious, “President Feng, with you not here, any discussions we have will be fruitless. The city leadership is also very interested in this matter. How about… if it’s convenient for you, I come to Zhengyang to visit you?”
You’re hell-bent on getting involved, and there’s no stopping you, is there?
After pondering for a moment, Feng Jun smiled and replied, “How could I bother you to do that, being the head of a county? How about this, I have a classmate who’s also from Chaoyang. She’s currently my assistant. I’ll send her back first to handle the negotiations, and we can keep in touch… What do you think?”
County Chief Chi hesitated, an assistant… how could she compare to you in person?
To be fair, people like Feng Wenhui, Zhang Junyi, or even Feng Wencheng, who were closer to Feng Jun, were all in Chaoyang at the moment. However, from a business management perspective, Feng Jun’s assistant was the one who could best represent his will.
Of course, County Chief Chi wasn’t going to let him off the hook that easily and instead applied more pressure, “How about I speak to the secretary, and the two of us come to Zhengyang to visit you together?”
Feng Jun could only laugh and beg off, “How could I dare? I’ll send Assistant Li back first, and as soon as I get a chance, I’ll be right over.”
In any case, both parties were just exchanging courtesies, showing respect for each other was what mattered. As for his promise to return to Chaoyang as soon as he had time—that was to be taken with a grain of salt. If one believed it all earnestly, they were truly naive.
County Chief Chi wasn’t exactly satisfied with the outcome, but there was no alternative. Regardless, Feng Jun sending an assistant did show a degree of sincerity.
After hanging up, the secretary of the county chief couldn’t help but feel somewhat indignant, “The county secured these conditions, and he’s only sending an assistant; that’s too dismissive. Our forest is just lying there, ready to be logged however one wishes… Does he really think everything will grind to a halt without him?”
County Chief Chi paused and shook his head with a sigh, “We really can’t do without him. That’s a lump sum deal. Such a large sum, who else in the county could afford it?”
Feng Jun had entrusted Li Xiaobin with this matter because she was just languishing in the manor with nothing to do—she had already set up the database, and all the running around in the manor was now mainly handled by Li Shishi, who seemed to be just… killing time with her middle school class leader role.
Naturally, the two communicated fairly well, and Feng Jun knew she found the manor too quiet. So, he took this opportunity to send her to negotiate on his behalf—as good as making a triumphant return to her hometown, wasn’t it?
Upon hearing it was this kind of affair, Li Xiaobin readily agreed. However, she hemmed and hawed about whether the manor could provide a car and a driver—my reputation is no big deal, but it wouldn’t reflect well on you, President Feng, would it?
Arranging for a car wasn’t an issue, but Feng Jun was a bit puzzled, “I thought you could drive. Why do you need a driver?”
The driving skills of both Assistant Li’s were honed in the manor, where there were plenty of cars and space, and most vehicles were left with keys in the ignition during the day so that everyone could use them conveniently within this enclosed space.
Li Xiaobin could indeed drive, but her driving skills were vastly inferior to Li Shishi’s, with the most crucial factor being… she had no license!
However, Feng Jun really couldn’t spare a driver at the moment. Gazi had been delayed for quite some time and had to concentrate on cultivation, and Gao Qiang was currently the manor’s jack-of-all-trades, needed everywhere.
Feng Jun thought about it and decided to ask Sister Hong when she returned in the evening to see if she could arrange for a female driver from her company.
When Yang Yuxin heard the news, she proactively reached out, “I hear you’re looking for a driver? I can arrange for two for you. Do you have any special requirements?”
In truth, if he really needed to find an outside driver, Wang Haifeng, Xu Leigang, Sister Hong, or even Feng Jing could do it, and if push came to shove, he could make a call to Wu Limin or Li Yongrui to borrow a driver.
However, Yang Yuxin had been zealously ingratiating herself with him lately. Her daughter’s health was improving day by day, and total costs from her side were only about four million yuan, along with a luxury modified bus. Feng Jun hadn’t pressed her for anything else since then.
Keep in mind, she had initially been prepared to part with an entire publicly traded company.
The more Feng Jun refused, the more uneasy she became. Not to mention her daughter was supposed to stay here for another two months, the Gu family did not like to take advantage of people, and she could not stay there comfortably.
However, Feng Jun didn’t feel right declining her kindness, so he answered, “I don’t have specific requirements, just a female driver would do. The key question is… how long will it take for you to find someone?”
“If it’s local to Zhengyang, I can find someone,” Yang Yuxin picked up her mobile phone, “I was going to ask Xiao Tian… never mind, I’ll find someone myself, I’ll borrow two people from the mobile company.”
She had initially planned to ask her nephew, Qin Tiantian, for help, but on second thought, Master Feng disliked ostentation, so she decided to use her own connections to find someone.
Feng Jun was taken aback when he heard this, “So the floral basket from the mobile company at Dou Jiahui’s opening day was sent by someone you arranged?”
That was the bouquet sent by Yunyuan City mobile representative on behalf of the provincial mobile to Dou Jiahui, and neither he nor Dou Jiahui had figured out who was behind it.
“Just showing some support,” Yang Yuxin spread her hands with some regret, “Nowadays, everything is under tight control, only businesses have a bit more leeway. So, I sent a floral basket, but I didn’t expect to run into those people…”
Feng Jun blinked and then nodded with a smile, “Well, I really appreciate it. By the way, are you on good terms with the mobile company?”
“The relationship is alright. It’s a channel from my maternal family’s side,” Yang Yuxin spoke with measure, suggesting a sure bet to the extent she was revealing, “Is there something you need help with?”
Feng Jun pondered for a moment before carefully saying, “If… I mean, if I were to buy a small island or something, and wanted to set up a server room on the island, and then some base stations to establish an independent network, could it be done?”
“Very simple,” Yang Yuxin answered crisply, “From site selection, construction to equipment installation, tuning, and local data creation, a complete network setup solution can be provided as a package. The entire project can be contracted out as well. Actually, the troublesome part is setting up the external network…”
At this point, she suddenly stopped and looked at him with an odd expression, “Are you planning… to emigrate?”
“Emigrate… It’s not out of consideration,” Feng Jun answered with a smile, “Our country doesn’t allow buying islands, otherwise… I’d dare to buy Uotsuri Jima.”
Yang Yuxin’s expression became even more bizarre, “Do you really want to buy Uotsuri Jima? This matter could indeed be…”
“Let’s drop it,” Feng Jun hastily waved his hands. He had forgotten that she was capable of buying mountains near Jing Ji. He spoke earnestly, “I won’t engage in the affairs of pioneers… I’m an only child.”
Yang Yuxin looked puzzled, “What does being an only child have to do with it?”
“The only seedling, you can’t expect me to become a martyr,” Feng Jun asserted confidently, “Have you seen Merrick’s ‘Saving Private Ryan’? It’s not that I lack motivation. Whoever set the one-child policy… they should be the martyr first.”
Yang Yuxin looked at him with a mix of annoyance and amusement, “You don’t need to be so tense, the matter of Uotsuri Jima… I don’t have the final say.”
“I know you don’t have the final say,” Feng Jun replied with irritation, “Even if I bought it, it wouldn’t count, we still have to listen to the country… so with that money, wouldn’t it be much easier to buy a small island abroad?”
Yang Yuxin initially worried about him emigrating, but his jokes and humorous interjections eased her concerns significantly.
“In my opinion, Master Feng, with your capabilities, there’s really no need to emigrate. You call the shots within these few square kilometers, and after another three to five years, who would dare to provoke you around here? Even the leaders of Zhengyang City would have to tiptoe around you.”
As an outsider, she saw things quite clearly. The reputation of Master Feng’s marvels was gradually spreading. What was lacking now was just a period of fermentation. With patience, in three to five years, no one around Zhengyang would be able to bother him.
People who are not afraid of gods and spirits definitely exist, but now, even within the Official Government, such people are pitifully few.
“All right,” Feng Jun said with a smile, waving his hand, “Then can you please inquire about setting up a network… three thousand square kilometers, thirty thousand users with an independent network, what’s the basic configuration, and what networking plans are available? Oh, it’s a mountainous area.”
Yang Yuxin looked at him doubtfully, “With the amount of money you have, it might truly not be enough, just for the base stations alone you’d need a lot.”
Feng Jun laughed it off, “If the money is not enough, we can take it slow. I just want to get a rough idea… such a plan shouldn’t be hard to come up with, just a network map for a prefecture-level city, right?”
“I’m not really sure,” Yang Yuxin shook her head. She was somewhat familiar with telecommunications, but only slightly more knowledgeable than the average person, “I’ll ask about it for you… Do you still need my help finding drivers?”
Feng Jun gave a slight smile, revealing his white teeth, “Yes, of course I do.”

That very afternoon, two female drivers arrived at Luohua Manor in a Mercedes-Benz car. Yang Yuxin’s clout was indeed significant; the company sent not just the drivers but also provided the car.
The next morning, Li Xiaobin took the car straight to Chaoyang, marking Luohua Manor’s return to a period of having only an assistant.
