But clearly, you can make a lot of money without starting a company, so why bother registering one?

Franklin Turner's answer at the time was this: when the wind is strong enough, even pigs can fly. If you miss this village, there won't be another shop like it.

The company's name was decided by the two of them together: Shuangyu Feihai Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. "Shuangyu" comes from Shuangyushu, the location of Renmin University, and "Feihai" literally means "flying pig." This not only refers to what Franklin Turner said earlier, but also has another meaning: both Franklin Turner and Jack Warren were born in the same year, the Year of the Pig.

After the company was established, Franklin Turner immediately launched a plan to write (or rather, cobble together) five books, including "The Encyclopedia of Administrative Management Cadres," "The Encyclopedia of Market Economy," "1000 Questions on New Enterprise Accounting Standards," and so on. In short, he targeted the hottest topics in the market—not aiming for the best, just for the thickest.

More students were recruited to become salespeople for Feihai Company. They all had one thing in common: they needed money. Recruiting these students to sell books made Jack Warren feel a little less guilty. He always comforted himself by saying that, although he was tempting these students to skip class, at least he was helping poor students earn money through part-time work, which was in line with his role as a counselor.

Every time new salespeople were recruited, Franklin Turner would give them a pep talk. In Franklin Turner's words, sales is something that requires courage and perseverance; you have to brainwash them first, or else they'll get discouraged when they face setbacks. Right now, what Franklin Turner was doing was exactly this kind of motivational speech.

"Classmates, fellow students, the market economy has arrived. In China, tens of thousands of millionaires, even billionaires, are about to emerge. In any field, as long as you focus and stick with it, you can achieve great things. That's right, you're still students now, it's not yet time to start your own business, but don't you want to prepare for your future development? Don't you want to get a taste of society? Don't you want to have tens of thousands of yuan in savings before you graduate?

"Congratulations, your opportunity has arrived! Feihai Company is a company run by us, the students of Renmin University. Its establishment is entirely to help you—all of you, our fellow students—realize your dreams in the market economy. In the past year, 22 of your senior classmates have already earned more than 5,000 yuan in commissions from the company. Among them, our sales champion, senior Nancy Baker from the School of Journalism, has already earned over 20,000 yuan! Do you want to become such a rich person?"

"I do..."

A little girl in the audience, her face flushed red, couldn't help but quietly echo, only to realize afterward that no one else had spoken. Embarrassed, she wished she could hide her face in her desk.

"Well said!" Franklin Turner immediately fixed his gaze on her. "This must be junior Emily Parker from the School of Labor and Human Resources, right? Sister Parker spoke very well. What about the rest of you? Do you want to have more than 20,000 yuan in savings before you graduate?"

"We do!"

This time, everyone mustered their courage and shouted loudly. Renmin University students don't know what stage fright is. The reason no one responded just now wasn't because they were shy, but because they thought answering like that was a bit silly. Now that someone had taken the lead, what was there to hesitate about? Normally, everyone might be pretty calm, but after being roused by Franklin Turner, a little flame was lit in everyone's heart. Having more than 20,000 yuan in savings before graduation—who wouldn't get excited about that?

"Damn, did Old Eight get into a pyramid scheme after graduation? I never realized he was so good at hyping people up!"

Jack Warren looked at Franklin Turner, who was just short of spouting lotus flowers from his mouth, and thought to himself.

Chapter 3: The Foresight of the Transmigrator

Jack Warren's intuition was correct. The Franklin Turner standing on the podium now was completely different from the Franklin Turner who used to share a dorm with him. Inside his body was a soul from thirty years in the future.

That's right, today's Franklin Turner is a transmigrator. In his mind, he holds the entire trajectory of the world's development and the wisdom of life for the next thirty years.

Before transmigrating, Franklin Turner had always been restless at heart. Like Kuafu, the legendary giant who chased the sun, he feverishly pursued the latest trends in the market, hoping to rise against the wind and achieve a great career like the two Mas and one Li.

Unfortunately, his fate was also like Kuafu's—he never caught up with the sun and died of thirst halfway.

He was among the last group in China to get involved in pyramid schemes. He had just become a small leader when a crackdown hit. If he hadn't run fast enough, he'd probably still be sifting sand somewhere.

After that, he grabbed onto the tail end of internet finance, becoming the 10,086th member of a P2P company. After just a few days, the whole industry collapsed, leaving him penniless.

He studied feng shui, speculated in Bitcoin, made funny videos, launched crowdfunding campaigns for dozens of internet celebrity products, and wrote hundreds of flashy business plans...

His last big gamble in his previous life was signing up as a volunteer for an underground black technology project. The goal of the project was to test the reliability of a time machine.
