71 The Competition

Guo Miao looked at Wendu and made a three with her hand.

“Three million?” Wendu cried out in alarm.

Three million was not a small amount. Although he had been raised by his family to invest since he was young, it was still difficult for someone of Guo Miao’s age to come up with three million.

What’s more, when Wendu and the others made their investments back then, they had used the capital given by their families. When they first invested, only Tong Pei made a lot of money while he and Sheng Guang lost everything.

Wendu had to work hard for his family for a few years to pay back the capital his parents had given him. Shengguang never invested in art again.

“Give me a week’s time.” Guo Miao looked at the calendar on her phone.

If she remembered correctly, there should be a foundation that was going to be very popular soon.

Guo Miao and Wendu agreed on a time to transfer the money and left.

Once Guo Miao left, Wendu turned on his computer and made a video call.

“Brother Pei, this little girl is not simple. She just signed a huge project like the supercomputer to the Ministry of Defense.”

“Well, her level of awareness is much higher than yours. You only have money in your eyes every day.” Tong Pei’s eyes didn’t leave the documents by his side. “How’s the partnership going? Have you shown her the few projects we have here?”

Wendu shook his head and took a sip of the black tea in his cup, “No, I didn’t. She’s preparing for a holographic game project.”

Tong Pei raised his head and looked at Wendu. “A holographic game?”

He was a little surprised. Although holographic games were also computer-related, supercomputers were hardware while games were software.

It was already impressive for an ordinary person to be able to learn one of them, but to be proficient in two aspects and lead both projects was simply a stroke of genius.

“We’ll invest according to the amount we agreed on first, and then we’ll add more.” Jinyue Group had a strict rule that five million was the upper limit for an initial investment.

The amount of investment that Guo Miao would be awarded was already a lot compared to the other partners.

“I’ve already discussed it, but…” Wendu was a little hesitant. He didn’t know what to say.

“You told Guo Miao that I invested in it?” Tong Pei frowned. He didn’t want Guo Miao to know that he invested in it, so he had asked Wendu to keep it a secret from her.

“No, but Guo Miao said she wanted to invest three million yuan.”

Tong Pei frowned. Three million was not a small sum. If the Sheng family’s gift to Guo Miao was added to the prize money for her competition, all her assets now should be worth about three million.

“If she wants to invest, then we’ll first cooperate and give the project leadership to Guo Miao,” Tong Pei said.

He wanted to see how this project, which was gambled with all of Guo Miao’s assets, would turn out.

Of course, Guo Miao wouldn’t bet all her assets. She didn’t sell her shares and house but took out a part of the treatment fees and invested it in the fund.

This part of the fund would see a nearly 30-fold increase in the near future. As long as she had it now, she would be able to get the three million yuan back in no time.

Guo Miao didn’t stay idle while waiting for the funds to rise in price.

The provincial competition would be held soon, and the top five from several cities formed a team to participate in the provincial competition.

The team from Haicheng consisted of Guo Miao, Fu Meng, Lu Yao, Tian Sa from Haicheng Second High School, and a girl from a county high school called Zhao Nan.

During this time, the five of them had been training at the high school affiliated with Shanghai University.

Among the five of them, Lu Yao was a genius player who had won a national award before. Fu Meng and Tian Sa were the hardworking ones, and the girl called Zhao Nan was a really hardworking player.

Based on the education level of the lower county of Haicheng, it was impossible for her to participate in such a competition. However, she had studied almost all the competition questions in the past ten years and was familiar with most of the routine.

During the training, Guo Miao also liked to communicate with Zhao Nan. Although she looked a little dense, her memory and concentration were amazing. With her talent and hard work, it was not a problem for her to get a place in the provincial competition. She could even make it to the national competition.

The relationship between the five of them was also very harmonious even though Tian Sa and Lu Yao were not convinced by Guo Miao at first.

However, after Guo Miao and the others explained a lot of simpler problem-solving ideas, they also began to worship Guo Miao.

After all, the mathematics competition was a test of one’s ability.

Finally, the day of the competition arrived. The five of them boarded the bus and went to the neighboring city to participate in the competition.
