Chapter 621 I Want to Make Money!

“That’s the grass you’re talking about, isn’t it?” The first commander pointed to the grass on the oasis in front of him and asked Fang Qiu.

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded.

“Let me try it.” The first commander immediately squatted down with a smile, reached out to pick up a blade of grass, put it in his mouth and chewed it directly.

“Well, the grass tastes good and tender. There’s no smell of dirt on it at all.”

As he spoke, the first commander picked another blade of grass and handed it to the bodyguard standing next to him. He said, “Have a taste. It’s really good.”

The bodyguard took a bite and his face changed slightly. He immediately said, “There is indeed the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this grass. Unfortunately, it’s too little. It’s not very useful for me, but it should be very good for ordinary soldiers.”

The first commander laughed excitedly and ordered, “It is indeed a treasure place. Start planting. You can plant whatever you want. We’d better plant fruit trees too. Don’t waste such a large piece of land!”

After Fang Qiu told the soldiers what they needed to take care of, the group of people then returned to the base.

As they returned to the base, Fang Qiu and Li Ji decided to leave together.

Since the matter of Lop Nor had been handed over to the state, Fang Qiu no longer had any worries or concerns. It was time to leave.

Li Ji had been in Beijiang for a long time.

Now that the several commanders of the base had returned, he naturally had to return to his own department to work, so the two of them could return to Jiangjing together.

When Fang Qiu returned to Jiangjing, he did not look for Zhao Shanlin and Zhu Benzheng because he knew that he would not be of much help with the work over there, even if he went.

The most important thing he had to do now was to find a way to make money!

Although the Desert Cistanches had been delivered and they already found a suitable site, they were just starting to grow the seedlings. He did not know how much money he had to spend on the research before they succeeded.

If they managed to cultivate it successfully, they would need to build factories, rent land, buy machines, hire workers and so on. According to his previous calculations, it would take at least 100 million to accomplish all that.

With the ten million he gave to Zhao Shanlin, there was still a shortage of sixty million before Fang Qiu reached the target of 100 million.

He had to make the money as soon as possible.

It would be embarrassing when everything was done and he did not have money to build a factory and start a company,

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Jiangjing, Fang Qiu went straight to He Gaoming’s detective agency.

He was going to ask He Gaoming that apart from the Heaven Treasure and Earth Treasure, what else in Wulin was worth a lot of money.

Fang Qiu did not let Li Ji see him off.

He did not to take up Li Ji’s time as he had to return to work, nor did he want to attract too much attention, so he took a taxi directly.

In the car, Fang Qiu felt a little bored, so he took out his mobile phone and logged in to his Weibo account.

After thinking about it, he realized that he had not logged into Weibo for a long time.

As soon as he logged in, Fang Qiu received tens of thousands of comments and private messages.

Helplessly, Fang Qiu could only put the phone on silent mode. Then, he clicked the Weibo message which had his name and looked at it.

The first one that appeared was a post from Li Canming—the post-doctoral fellow who had just returned from the United States.

“@Who do you think you are! Fang Qiu, let me kindly remind you that the medical conference will be held in two weeks. I’m waiting for your announcement!”

He took a closer look.

This Weibo comment happened to be posted today.

Undoubtedly, as soon as this post appeared, it immediately caused a heated discussion.

Many people had forgotten that there was still such a matter. Now that Li Canming mentioned it, everyone immediately recalled the incident.

The first ones were Fang Qiu’s fans.

“Does Master Fang Qiu need a reminder from you?”

“I’ll just sit here and wait for you to get slapped in the face!”

“Can’t you be a little less outspoken? Are you trying to carry out your publicity stunts by using the popularity of our Master Fang Qiu from time to time?”

“Can you just stop your comments? When the time comes, Master Fang Qiu will definitely convince you!”

Seeing this post and reading the comments below it, Fang Qiu smiled wryly.

“There are two weeks left.”

“Are you waiting to see me make a fool of myself?”

“What a pity. We don’t know who will be slapped in the face.”

Fang Qiu smirked, logged out of Weibo and put away his phone.

Soon, he arrived at He Gaoming’s detective agency.

Fang Qiu quickly changed into the character John Doe, the mysterious man’s clothes, as he went upstairs and then covered his face with a mask.

At this moment, He Gaoming was sitting in the detective agency, with his legs high on the desk, smoking a cigar and talking to a customer.

“Don’t worry. If you get the information from me, I can guarantee that it’s real and you can get whatever you want. You just need to transfer the money to me.”

Fang Qiu heard He Gaoming’s arrogant voice as he stood in the doorway.

“Crack!” He pushed the door open.

He Gaoming, who was on the phone, raised his eyebrows and immediately turned his head to see who was so impolite that he did not even knock on the door before swaggering in.

As soon as he saw Fang Qiu, he immediately stood up straight.

“Okay, that’s it.”

After that, He Gaoming hung up immediately, smiled as he walked toward Fang Qiu, and asked, “Master, why are you here?”

Fang Qiu said, “I want to ask you something.”
