Start with a blacksmith shop.

P.S.: This humble writer also has an old book with 800,000 words currently being serialized. If you're interested, you can search for "The Collector of Everything in Film and Television".

"What did your stupid childhood friend say that made you so angry?"

Li Zhenhua asked from the side, but the look of someone watching the drama unfold on his face was particularly obvious.

Guo Shugui was already used to the behavior of the two people in front of him.

Now he knows that these two are two scoundrels who share the same awful nature, but it is precisely this way of getting along that has taught him what true bad friends are.

"Actually, it's nothing. His company is called Dagen Real Estate, and it's one of the top companies in the industry."

Especially when they invade the north, conflicts frequently break out between them and our Green Party, primarily commercial ones.

That idiot, I heard he owed money in Japan, but he didn't dare tell his dad.

This time, a company selling steel reinforcement building materials was opened in our country.

Because he was the crown prince of Dagen, his steel bars quickly penetrated Dagen, and his father was unaware that he was selling steel bars.

His steel bars were not only expensive, but also of poor quality and did not meet the required grade.

"Many construction sites in Dagengli are already using this steel reinforcement. Don't you two think this is just making money through dishonest means?"

Li Zhenhua listened from the side, feeling no anger. What he hated most in his life were people who would cut corners and make dirty money in everything they did.

So after hearing this, he was already filled with resentment and indignation.

Then Guo Shugui continued.

"This idiot, I don't know where he got the information that I was managing a project, and then he called me saying he wanted to make money with me."

I knew he was going to disagree with my plan, so we started arguing after just a few words.

He knew that ever since our last meeting, when he bragged to me about his knife,

I've been searching for a master knife maker to forge a knife for me, so later they said they'd have a competition with me after I got my knife to see whose was better.

Guo Shugui has now explained the whole story.

Liu Xiaodong spoke to Guo Shugui as if he hadn't thought it through.

"Guoba, you've made it just in time! Look over there, do you see it?"

"If you curry favor with the future international champion of the knife-making competition, getting him to forge a knife for you will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

Listening to Liu Xiaodong's boasting, Li Zhenhua, who was sitting at one end of the bench, stood up abruptly.

The long bench acted like a seesaw; as Li Zhenhua stood up, Liu Xiaodong's side slid down.

As the stool bounced up, Liu Xiaodong crashed to the ground, landing on his buttocks.

"Hey, damn it, get up! Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Li Zhenhua ignored his complaints, took a few steps closer to Guo Shugui, and stopped in front of him.

"Guoba, as long as I achieve good results in the sword forging competition, you won't make this kind of dirty money."

I'll definitely forge a knife for you right away, using my best skills.

After receiving Li Zhenhua's assurance, Guo Shugui's initially bad mood improved.

There was one thing he didn't understand: why did Li Zhenhua react with such resentment when he mentioned shoddy workmanship?

It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to ask Liu Xiaodong, that fat guy, about this later.

Half an hour passed after Li Zhenhua finished listening to Guo Shugui's story.

"We have to go, we have a lot to do later."

I need to buy materials.

Guoba still needs to go home. Speaking of which, do you always bring camera equipment with you on business trips?

Li Zhenhua talked about what he would do later, and also raised a point that Guo Shugui had been wondering about.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Shugui slapped his own forehead with his hand.

"Snap"

"Damn, I forgot about that. All my equipment is in Beiping."

I didn't bring it with me this time, what should I do?

Let me think about it!

Looking at Guo Shugui's reaction, Li Zhenhua sighed inwardly, thinking how difficult it was to get anything done!

You never know what bizarre things you might encounter.

"Let's go, we'll think about it as we walk. Thinking here will only delay things."

After Li Zhenhua finished speaking, he took the lead and walked outside.

Guo Shugui thought it made sense, so he walked over to Liu Xiaodong and used all his strength to pull the fat man up from the ground.

The two followed them out the door, leaving the little monkey that had been sitting on the first floor there.

Li Zhenhua drove towards the sales point of Jigang in their county.

Li Zhenhua only purchased two sizes here, namely 410 and 420.

As for why these two options were chosen,

This is because 410 stainless steel has high strength, but it cannot be used in highly corrosive environments.

This type of steel is also commonly used to make utensils such as knives and forks.

420 stainless steel has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, which is better than that of 410.

The two types of stainless steel have different corrosion resistance. When they are folded together, the pattern will be more obvious during pickling.

Furthermore, 420 stainless steel has a high hardness, making it a suitable material for making knives.

Each of these two types of steel weighed 70 kilograms, which felt quite heavy.

However, in terms of size, it doesn't actually take up too much space.

In terms of total weight, the two materials weigh only 140 kilograms.

Li Zhenhua chose steel bars that were 5 cm wide, 80 cm long, and 4 mm thick for easy forging.

Li Zhenhua, along with the two men, one fat and one thin, worked together to load all the steel bars into the truck bed.

On the way here, Guo Shugui wailed the whole way in the passenger seat, constantly complaining about his equipment.

But if he really had to go back to Beiping to get it, he really didn't want to go back. He howled all the way but couldn't think of any good solution.

When he started moving things with Li Zhenhua, his chatter, which was comparable to Hou Zhen's, finally stopped.

After the three of them bought the steel, their plan to come to the county town was half completed.

Then Li Zhenhua drove to the hardware store and bought everything he needed on the industrial street.

Both cutting discs and abrasive belts were prepared.

Li Zhenhua looked at Guo Shugui, who was once again repeating himself like a broken record, and felt helpless.

Li Zhenhua decided to leave him alone for now, since there was still time before work officially started.

Without consulting the other two, Li Zhenhua started the car and drove back.

"Singing the most dazzling ethnic style in a leisurely manner..."

As I drove past the county town square, I heard music playing from elderly people dancing in the square.

Guo Shugui was also bothered by the music. He was already irritable, and the annoying music made him feel even worse.

As it happened, there was a traffic jam ahead of them, so Li Zhenhua could only drive slowly past the square.

The more unsolvable a problem is at the moment, the more people want to solve it.

Just as Guo Shugui was about to explode, a person walked past him on the sidewalk next to him, shouting something.

The road ahead was clear, just as Li Zhenhua was about to drive away.

Guo Shugui was thrown up from the passenger seat, or rather, only halfway up, before being secured to the seat by the seatbelt.
