Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 527 - 342: Exciting Intelligence

In the early morning, at the Golden Collar Villa.

Qi Yun, who had just battled for two hours, went to the balcony and comfortably lit a cigarette.

Recently, he has been working continuously, and even his performance in certain aspects has declined.

The scene before him changed, and familiar lights appeared.

[Current Intelligence Points: 9]

[Today’s Intelligence 1 (Red): Yesterday, while in a drunken state, Xiao Wu injured several provoking thugs severely at a restaurant on the North Third Ring Middle Road and has now been lawfully arrested by the local police station, soon to face prison time]

The young ones are still quite impulsive...

Qi Yun sighed and took a phone from his pajama pocket to send a message to Li Yaohua, asking him to help get this kid out the next day.

Whether or not he can bring him under his wing, solving such minor issues is just a matter of speaking for Qi Yun, considering the face of the late Mr. Tong.

[Today’s Intelligence 2 (Green): Yesterday afternoon, a herder living near the Tianshan Bogda Peak witnessed a small-scale landslide. When he reached the landslide site halfway up the mountain, he found water suddenly gushing out from the previously dry old riverbed, meandering down the furrow and finally into the main river channel;

This spring water is not from snow melting but self-flowing water from rock fissures nurtured deep within Tianshan for centuries!

The water quality is even superior to the already known Bird City Spring, with dissolved solids over 1500 mg per liter, it doesn’t freeze even at minus 20 degrees]

Tianshan Bogda Peak?

Bird City Spring?

Qi Yun paused. He knew Bogda Peak, not too far from Bird City, with an elevation of over five thousand meters, is the highest peak in the eastern section of Tianshan.

He also knew Bird City Spring, where a 300 ml bottle is sold for sixteen yuan! Much more expensive than familiar brands like Yiyun!

It looks cheap but is essentially a water-based assassin!

Its main selling point is exactly what the intelligence mentioned, self-flowing water from rock fissures nurtured for 400 years deep within Tianshan, high in minerals, weakly alkaline, known as Tianshan God’s Water!

"So...they discovered a water source greater than Bird City Spring!?"

A flash of ecstasy instantly filled Qi Yun’s eyes! Isn’t this the golden phoenix that lays golden eggs?

He immediately started searching online for detailed information about Bird City Spring, anxiously wanting to know the actual value of this water source in the intelligence.

Bird City Spring’s daily output is about two hundred cubic meters, almost equivalent to two hundred thousand liters, which translates to over six hundred thousand bottles each day, priced at sixteen yuan per bottle, produces nearly ten million yuan worth of mineral water daily!

If Bogda Peak’s water source could reach the standards of Bird City Spring, wouldn’t it be incredibly profitable to build a water plant here?

But this is merely an idealistic imagining...

The more Qi Yun explored, the more his fiery enthusiasm gradually cooled.

The reality is that Bird City Spring not only spent four to five billion yuan to build the plant but also invested billions in advertising, yet the outcome is an annual loss, completely unable to compete with major brands.

So...even with the golden phoenix, one still needs market channels and sales resources...

This has a different approach than his healthcare product market, which no single product can monopolize.

But mineral water is different; those few brands occupy nearly 90% of the market share, each spending no less than one billion on advertising annually!

Qi Yun deeply inhaled another puff, his mind slowly cooling.

Perhaps relying on his own strength to build a plant, produce, and sell is not the best choice.

It takes too long and costs enormous investment, even if the product eventually goes to market, it likely won’t withstand those established competitors.

The only option is to use the water source as capital for cooperation with one of them...or directly sell the information to them in exchange for enough benefits...

[Today’s Intelligence 3 (Red): Half an hour ago, a box truck delivering flour unloaded three hundred kilograms of "flour" at a grain and oil shop on Tianhe Road in the development zone] 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Flour!?

Qi Yun frowned. A few days ago, he asked Zhang Dayong to investigate this matter, unexpectedly receiving the relevant intelligence today.

After a few seconds of thought, he found Eagle’s number and dialed it.

"I’ll send you a location, you head over..."

"Right, first quietly figure out the situation, don’t alarm the others."

...

The next morning, after breakfast, Qi Yun rushed to the Provincial Museum Bureau, planning to pay a visit to Hua Weiguo and ask him to perform an on-site inspection at Bogda Peak.

Because for the water source matter, not only must samples be brought back for water quality testing, but an on-site survey is also needed to confirm the spring’s output, water source stability, and potential geological risks in the surrounding area.

After all, Bogda Peak is a nature reserve, and reckless actions are not permitted.

Moreover, in the future when negotiating collaboration with those established drinking water companies, he must have an authoritative and complete data report to support his claims.

Otherwise, just making verbal claims, they are unlikely to have full trust...

At the Provincial Museum Bureau, in the Deputy Director’s office, Hua Weiguo saw Qi Yun visiting and quickly greeted him warmly at the entrance.

"Oh, a rare guest! I thought of looking for you when I came back a few days ago, but couldn’t reach you by phone." Hua Weiguo shook Qi Yun’s hand continuously.

Qi Yun chuckled: "I went to Beijing a few days ago, had a lot going on."

"Director Hua..." He paused, glancing at the sign on the door, then laughing and correcting himself, "I should now call you Director Hua, congratulations, Director Hua!"

Indeed, Hua Weiguo has been adjusted from the position of Director of the Archaeology Department to Deputy Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau due to assisting Qi Yun in locating Genghis Khan’s Tomb and participating in subsequent critical excavation work.

"You kid!" Hua Weiguo pointed at Qi Yun, then patted his arm and led him to the sofa in the reception area.

"Oh, it’s only because of you that I still have opportunities at my age." He sighed, pouring tea for Qi Yun.

"Thank you." Qi Yun thanked, taking the tea cup and placing it on the table, "Actually, it’s not much related to me, mainly due to your dedication and contributions that brought about this great reward."

Hua Weiguo smiled and shook his head, recalling the numerous dangers faced during their last visit to Genghis Khan’s tomb, yet knowing those were not the main events.

If Qi Yun hadn’t intervened to push him into that archaeological team, he would have retired as the Director.

Though it was just a small step, the rewards enjoyed were worlds apart.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that many people spend their whole lives struggling to surpass this hurdle.

Thus, he was genuinely grateful to Qi Yun from the bottom of his heart.

"You coming at this moment must mean you have more than congratulations to share with me, right?"

"Just straightforwardly tell me what the matter is."
