Global Mining.

Chapter 756: Convoy (Thanks to old book friend Kylin00 for the promotion)

After making the arrangements, Da Chun returned to the camp with a sense of relief and said to Xiao Fan, "Dad has spoken to the men. Although it won't be ten thousand, there are still several hundred. They should be here around lunchtime. Go and talk to them."

Xiao Fan was startled, but still disappointed: "Only a few hundred?"

Da Chun said irritably, "Are you kidding? 1 is for pacifying Jiangdong. A few hundred in the suburbs will make it impossible to move!"

Xiao Fan perked up: "Great! I'll go tell them right away!"

Xiaoqin was shocked: "You really shouted?"

Da Chun gave an awkward smile: "Just think of it as a holiday marketing event, let's all have some fun."

Zihan's father, who was playing on his tablet, was truly impressed: "Mr. Ding, you are really amazing. Fandiantong is only a small company that has been established for half a year. It is remarkable that it has been able to grow in the gap between several food delivery giants!"

Holy crap, have we met an expert?
Da Chun felt a chill run down his spine and quickly changed the subject: "What topics does Zihan's father usually like to pay attention to?"

Zihan's father laughed: "I used to like to follow the financial and stock markets, but they've all been sluggish. Now I only follow mining games."

Mining? We can talk about that, as long as we don't talk about food delivery.

Da Chun asked, "Is this game very profitable?"

Zihan's father laughed and said, "You can't make big money, but you can make a steady amount of small money, which is much better than the stock market. The only problem is that mining machines are hard to buy, even more so than waiting to reserve a limited edition car. My family reserved two last year, and they will arrive around the Chinese New Year. We'll just leave them running at home to mine every day, which will add some fun to our lives."

Da Chun continued to try and find a topic of conversation: "How complex can a game console be that it takes so long to pre-order?"

Zihan's father laughed and said, "The main problem is that we haven't been able to penetrate the Chinese market. If it weren't for the high unemployment rate and the strong demand from the major gaming guilds in China, we might have had to keep delaying it."

Da Chun exclaimed in surprise, "Are gaming guilds that powerful?"

Zihan's father laughed and said, "Don't look at me like this now. Ten years ago, when I was in college, I was a registered member of the Royal Family Guild. The Royal Family Guild had 20 registered members and 100 million unregistered members. When the guild leader of the Royal Family gave an order, millions of players across the entire network would move at the sound of it. Isn't that more effective than the Party Secretary?"

Holy crap! This is the imposing presence of that Ma Yinglong!
Zihan's father is truly a gamer; once the topic started, he couldn't stop talking: "Although the server slots in the Chinese region were a bit tight, and we were at a slight disadvantage at the beginning, Royal Never Give Up still managed to produce a super-skilled player who's now number one in the world. This means those of us who are following along will be able to avoid some pitfalls..."

Da Chun's heart skipped a beat. What? Number one in the world?

Could it be that I obtained divine status, ascended to the Sage realm, and directly surpassed the Ten Great Masters, becoming the number one in the world? Holy crap...

Da Chun forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, but this was the number one in the world! He couldn't suppress his shock at all!
Zihan's father noticed Dachun's unusual expression and smiled, "Mr. Ding, you can also reserve a camera spot. It might not be more than two months before several major companies here reach an agreement with the game developers and can also manufacture the camera spots. By then, you won't be able to reserve them for so long..."

Da Chun laughed and said, "I'm very interested!"

Zihan's father laughed and said, "When the time comes, as a registered member of the royal family, I can even recommend new members to join..."

Ah, so this is what connections a classmate's parents have! If I hadn't gotten there first, this Zihan's father would truly be a mountain I had to climb...

For the next period of time, one listened attentively and the other spoke earnestly, and they had a very pleasant conversation. Before they knew it, it was almost noon.

Just then, a row of motorcycles came from afar, making a great commotion.

Da Chun hurriedly got up and saw a long line of motorcycles stretching as far as the eye could see! Their vests were all the same color, just like the one he was wearing. Da Chun laughed, "They're here!"

Xiao Fan jumped for joy: "Zihan! Zihan!! Zihan!! Zhiyan, come and see! My dad's men have all come over!"

A group of children exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, so many people and so many cars!"

Xiao Fan was smug: "My dad said that ten thousand would sweep Jiangdong into a state of chaos with hundreds of people blocking the way, so he only sent a few hundred!"

Da Chun was genuinely worried that the traffic would become completely congested. There was no way to gather so many cars together; there was simply not enough space, and they couldn't turn around. What kind of traffic jam would it be? Wouldn't that just make the "failed marketing" look too fake?
The motorcycles ahead had arrived, and Da Chun, as the employer, naturally had to show his appreciation. Standing on his own motorcycle, he waved and said, "Brothers, you've worked hard!"

The riders roared with laughter and shouted, "General Ding, what a sight!"

But the motorcycles in front didn't stop; they just drove right past, and one after another, the motorcycles behind them passed by shouting, "General Ding, hello!"

Da Chun finally understood. They couldn't stop; they could only keep driving, find a spot to turn at the next section of the road, and then turn back. So someone was coordinating things? Was it Zhou Qing who arranged this for their company? Or maybe this was Zhou Qing's family's company? Zihan's father had just mentioned that the company had only been established for six months, and those six months were indeed the peak period for layoffs…

Da Chun had lost count of how many cars had driven past, and then sure enough, he saw the long line turn back. He shouted again, "General Ding, hello!"

Da Chun should change his words: "Be careful!"

Finally, after nearly half an hour of back and forth, Da Chun was able to send off the last motorcycle.

Da Chun, his legs numb, jumped off the motorcycle and suddenly realized that the parents had been holding up their phones to record videos, and even Xiao Qin was recording!

Zihan's mother laughed and said, "Xiaofan's father, should we post this in the class parent group so everyone can see how mighty General Ding is?"

Xiao Fan couldn't stop being excited: "Great! Great! Let the teacher see too!! And let Fatty Tiger see too, scare him to death, see if he dares to mess with me! From now on, I'll protect Zihan, Zihan, Zihan, and Zhiyan, no one can bully you!"

Da Chun turned pale with fright. If this got out, it would cause a huge marketing frenzy. The company would start spreading rumors, and my fake supervisor status would be exposed, making me a laughingstock. How could Xiao Fan ever hold her head up again?

Xiaoqin laughed and said, "Sure, I'll go first. I'll say that Xiaofan's father has been re-employed as a rider-general, commanding ten thousand iron cavalry..."

Holy crap! Xiaoqin, what are you doing?
Is it possible——

Could this restaurant be owned by her uncle? Does that mean her uncle is really going to give me a supervisor position?
Suddenly, Da Chun felt as if he'd been set up again by fate? If that were the case, it wouldn't be so bad; he'd have another identity. So, would this count as being a kept man? Of course not, I single-handedly carved out my own territory in the game…

Several mothers laughed and said, "Come on, let's have a barbecue!"

Several fathers also raised their glasses: "Come on, Xiao Fan's dad was truly amazing and awesome, let's toast to you!"

Da Chun really wanted to drink to his heart's content, but he was afraid that if he drank too much, he would start asking all sorts of questions, so he decided to stop while he was ahead: "I'm going to ride my bike, I'll just have one sip!"

Then he glanced at Xiaoqin and said, "Let's leave after we finish eating!"

Xiaoqin sighed, "Okay, business comes first. Drink less and eat more..."
