Chapter 6

30,000 is enough!

With about 20,000 for buying equipment, and the remaining 10,000 plus the 3,000 he had on him, totaling 13,000, it was enough for him to rent a suitable house, buy some necessities, and start his next plan. For this, he even postponed further renovations, of course, just temporarily. Stopping for three days, he would renovate as much as he could afterward, the more the better.

Li Shijie was very helpless and extremely depressed. More and more people in the market were doing renovations, but their skills were truly not impressive, far from Tang Hao's level. As he gained a reputation through the new machines renovated by Tang Hao, his daily output increased dramatically, and the supply of machines he received was slightly out of balance. Now, with the other party pausing renovations for three days, what could he say?

He had no choice. If the other party wanted to develop his business, he couldn't stop him, right? That would be unreasonable. Perhaps to earn more money, he put aside a lot of work, handed it over to his hired employees, and himself drove around, contacting his network to help Tang Hao find a house and equipment.

Li Shijie had been in Huashenbei for many years, and his network was not to be underestimated. In just half a day, he found a suitable house for Tang Hao and rented it at a relatively low price. The equipment was also found in just one day.

This way, Tang Hao only needed one more day to get everything ready. The white silver, over 30,000 yuan, was spent in a blink, leaving his pocket empty, making one sigh: spending money like water.

However, looking at those brand new machines and the not-so-large dust-free garage, he was very satisfied.

This would be the capital for his rise, the first step toward success, and he had every reason to be proud.

By evening, with Li Shijie's help, he canceled the original rented house and moved to the newly rented processing factory, starting his new life. However, before he could be happy, Li Jieshi put a bag down, and Tang Hao's expression changed.

"180 units, at least 100 by tomorrow night."

Li Shijie, with a tearful face, said, "You don't know, I'm being chased by those people, I don't even dare to go to the market. They come to pick up goods and pay in cash, but I have no goods to deliver."

"Enough of that."

Tang Hao, whether in his past life or this one, knew Li Shijie very well. Although what he said was somewhat exaggerated, most of it was true. He just smiled bitterly, "I can't promise how many, but I'll do my best. You know, I need to start processing screens..."

"Right, how is your screen processing skill? Don't..."

"My skills, you can rest assured. Come to my place tomorrow morning, I'll show you a sample. If it's good, we'll install it. If not, I'll buy from the market... Is that okay?"

Tang Hao knew Li Shijie's concerns, probably fearing that the screens he processed would have issues, affecting the quality of the refurbished machines. But who knew he was a穿越者 (穿越者 means "time traveler" or "穿越者" in this context, but it's better to use "穿越者" to maintain the original flavor)? A small processing procedure wouldn't be a problem for him.

"I trust you."

...

Everything was ready, and Tang Hao didn't want to wait. He was ready to start, but unfortunately, a phone call made him put everything aside and take the subway with less than 100 yuan.

A hometown gathering!

In S City, such events often occurred, especially in Tang Hao's village, almost every month. He had attended many times, but he was always a supporting role, occasionally chatting with people, drinking alone, eating, and listening to his fellow villagers brag.

This time was the same; he just wanted to drink alone and not stand out.

"Rat, I heard you've made quite a bit recently?" Tang De said loudly, seemingly on purpose.

"Where, where, just small stuff."

Tang Hao's expression was somewhat unnatural. He knew what they were up to, "Compared to you, it's just a small profit."

"Speak up if you need help. We're from the same village, we need to stick together." Tang De waved his hand, very generously.

"I'm also planning to process screens. Any clients to introduce?" Tang Hao suddenly said.

"You're also processing screens?"

"Yep, just set up the factory, starting tomorrow, but I'm short on screens." Tang Hao gave a smile that was worse than crying.

"No problem, I have a batch of screens that I can't process recently. Even with over 30 people, it's not enough. If you can do it, 100 a day is no problem." Tang De was still as generous.

"Then it's settled."

"You know me, I say what I mean."

"Sure, sure."

Tang Hao actually had another sentence he didn't say: You say what you mean, but you change your mind the next day.

The gathering continued, noisy and lively. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, drinking, guessing hands, singing, living a life of luxury.

Only Tang Hao, after a brief chat, held a cup and hid in the corner of the private room, drinking alone.

"Why didn't you tell me you were short on money?"

"Ha ha."

Tang Hao smiled bitterly. He didn't need to look up to know who it was. He said, "We're brothers for life, I know you're not easy. Besides, haven't you helped me a lot over the years? I really didn't dare to ask."

Tang Wu Tao, a brother he had grown up with, a few years younger, also had a stall in Tian Di Building, with average business.

"Ah... If everyone really stuck together, we wouldn't be afraid of not making money. By the New Year, we could all drive a fleet of luxury cars back home."

Tang Wu Tao was also somewhat emotional but quickly adjusted his tone and got to the point, "How much do you need? 10,000 or 20,000, I can still come up with it."

"Not now, if I need it, I'll let you know."

Tang Hao raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses, drinking it down in one go, "I've been busy these days, didn't dare to bother you. But I'm about to get on track. Um... You can start collecting screens, I'll take whatever you have, following market rules, let's make money together."

"Okay, I'll find someone to collect some tomorrow." Tang Wu Tao didn't doubt for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, my skills, you can rest assured."

Tang Hao was very confident. He deeply knew his brother trusted him, but he still had to say, "Absolutely top-notch in the market, no fear of not selling."

Tang Wu Tao didn't say much, just patted Tang Hao's shoulder. Brothers for life, understanding each other, that was enough.
