Start with a blacksmith shop.

A finished dinner knife was placed in front of Li Zhenhua.

Looking at the exceptionally beautifully patterned dinner knife in front of him, Li Zhenhua felt a surge of joy.

This patterned steel was also the first time he had ever forged it; he had never forged anything with a Damascus pattern before.

"Take a look at this knife, both of you. Is it alright?"

As he spoke, Li Zhenhua handed the knife in his hand to Guo Shugui.

After all, this is his buyer; if the buyer isn't satisfied, he won't be able to sell the knife.

Guo Shugui took the knife from Li Zhenhua's hand, and his eyes were immediately drawn to it.

He had never seen such a beautiful knife before, not even in the most upscale Western restaurants.

They never used knives with this pattern; at most, they used silver cutlery.

But most of those were cast, while the one in my hand now was forged.

This feels like the rims on a sports car, which are mostly forged rims.

The wheels of an Alto Happy Prince are all cast iron wheels.

Just thinking about it made Guo Shugui immediately feel that the knife in his hand had become more sophisticated.

"Hua Zi, this knife is absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful appearance, plus the sharpness we tested before..."

This will absolutely make whoever owns this knife fall in love with it.

Guo Shugui was generous with his praise, though it might have seemed a bit exaggerated, but the knife did indeed feel good to him.

"Let me see it too, let me, the first victim, see what this knife is like!"

Liu Xiaodong came over from the side and took the knife from Guo Shugui's hand.

He took the kitchen knife and went to the side, then rolled up his trouser leg.

A large, fat leg was once again revealed to the two of them, and Liu Xiaodong bent down with the knife in his hand.

Seeing Liu Xiaodong's actions, Guo Shugui shouted out.

"Spare his life."

Seeing Guo Shugui's anxious look, Liu Xiaodong quickened his pace.

In the end, Guo Shugui was unable to stop Liu Xiaodong. The knife was pushed against the hair on Liu Xiaodong's thigh.

Where the blade passes, not a blade of grass grows.

Guo Shugui felt like he'd been utterly humiliated. He had originally intended for the finished knife to be a keepsake.

His idea was to collect it, but now that idea is shattered. He certainly doesn't want to collect a razor that's been used to shave someone's legs.

And with such big, fat legs, if he had used a knife to scrape through a beautiful woman's garden, he definitely wouldn't be behaving like this.

"Fatty, how could you do this? Why are you using that knife to shave your legs?!"

Guo Shugui felt a pang of heartache and regret as he asked Liu Xiaodong.

"Haha, now you won't try to take it from me anymore, Hua Zi, this knife is mine! You can stamp a number on the hilt for me later."

Faced with Liu Xiaodong's shameless behavior, Guo Shugui was filled with helplessness.

"Alright, enough fooling around. What do you guys think of this knife?"

If I were to sell it, how much could I get for a knife like this?

Li Zhenhua asked the two men a question, revealing that he was also quite apprehensive.

This was, after all, his first major business deal, and he didn't want to mess it up.

"Hua Zi, you're a weirdo too. I'm the buyer, and you're asking me the price? If you ask me, just give it to me for free!"

Guo Shugui suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration and asked Li Zhenhua a question.

"Haha, I completely forgot about that! Sorry! So, how many do you think would be a good amount?"

Li Zhenhua apologized, but then asked Guo Shugui, the buyer, about the price again.

"If you ask me, we should just sell them for 60 each."

Guo Shugui did not answer, but Liu Xiaodong, who was standing to the side, did express his opinion.

Upon hearing the price offered by Liu Xiaodong, Guo Shugui retorted without hesitation.

"Ha, you really are a good brother. You haven't even done any market research and you've already set the price for the product. You're just spouting nonsense."

"What, you have a problem with that? I'm just Brother Hua's good brother, so what? Are you jealous?"

"This knife is so beautiful, it's definitely worth sixty!"

Guo Shugui responded to Liu Xiaodong's answer with great disdain.

"It's not that I'm jealous."

As Guo Shugui spoke, he turned his head toward Li Zhenhua.

"Hua Zi, let me tell you, if you put this knife on the market, it will definitely sell like hotcakes."

Well, the price I gave might not be entirely accurate.

However, judging by the quality of this particular weapon, I think the price shouldn't be less than 180 yuan.

When Guo Shugui announced the price, Li Zhenhua's eyes widened in disbelief; he couldn't believe it was true.

I already found the price Liu Xiaodong mentioned somewhat unbelievable.

But unexpectedly, Guo Shugui would quote such a price, which was 120 yuan higher than what Liu Xiaodong had mentioned.

Li Zhenhua asked Guo Shugui in a questioning tone.

"Crispy rice crust, can this sell for so much? Two hundred yuan?"

When Guo Shugui heard Li Zhenhua's question, he replied with an air of self-righteousness:

"Of course, you should know that this knife was handcrafted."

It's completely different from the ones sold in stores. I remember that in my dad's kitchen, there was a set of silver cutlery that my mom bought from France.

That set is worth 1000 euros, and the knife alone costs at least 200 euros, which is 2000 euros!

Do you know what the funniest thing is?

I saw a line of letters on the packaging box that read "Made in China Yiwu".

In the end, I was too embarrassed to tell my mom.

Listening to Guo Shugui's words, Li Zhenhua realized that the world of the wealthy was truly incomprehensible.

If you calculate based on the actual value plus his labor cost, he thinks he could only sell it for twenty or thirty yuan at most.

The sixty yuan that Liu Xiaodong mentioned is already an astronomical price.

"Poverty limits imagination; it seems like the easiest money to make in the world is the money of the rich."

Only after Li Zhenhua accepted what Guo Shugui said did he speak up with a sigh.

While the two of them were talking, Liu Xiaodong, the fat man next to them, was shaving his leg hair with a knife.

And one leg has already completed its transformation; all the leg hair has fallen to the ground.

That leg, which was wearing thermal pants, now looked like a bare leg artifact.

Furthermore, Liu Xiaodong's other leg has almost been shaved off as well.

Li Zhenhua seemed to have made up his mind, turning to look at Guo Shugui.

"Guoba, I've decided. I'll price this knife at 150 yuan. You don't have any objections, right?"

Wow, if I do the math, I could sell this batch of knives for 150,000 yuan!

That's a lot of money!

Guo Shugui, however, did not react much, just looking at Li Zhenhua.

"Look at you, so pathetic! It's just 150,000!"

Back in the day, at the racetrack...

"The cost of tire wear in a day there is more than that."

Listening to Guo Shugui's words, Li Zhenhua's Versailles-like demeanor was truly irritating.

He also realized that he was too easily satisfied now. If his cheat system could talk, it would definitely scold him for being useless.

"Then let's use this knife as a prototype and begin mass production!"
