Start with a blacksmith shop.

Li Zhenhua looked at Liu Xiaodong, who was searching for something with his chubby hands, took a few steps towards him, snatched the phone from his hand, and locked the screen.

"Dongzi, you don't need to worry about the search anymore. I'll just tell you directly, it'll be over soon. The thing is..."

Before Li Zhenhua could get to the point, Liu Xiaodong, seemingly in a hurry, grabbed Li Zhenhua's arm, which was holding the phone.

"Holy crap, so this stuff can actually be found online?"

"What exactly happened? Tell me quickly, and I'll get revenge for you."

Liu Xiaodong, acting like a very loyal friend, was making grand pronouncements to Li Zhenhua.

"Don't do it, or you'll end up getting yourself involved. It's not worth it."

"This matter is now at a standstill with me. Let me finish explaining."

Fearing that Liu Xiaodong might do something impulsive, Li Zhenhua quickly stopped him and explained everything that had happened to him recently to Liu Xiaodong.

"Damn, I didn't expect this school to be so rubbish. It's supposed to be a 322 Project university. I feel like it's not even as good as the three years I spent in vocational college."

Liu Xiaodong sighed and then said, "This is really a difficult matter for us to handle."

Generally, the person in charge of this position has a rank, which is said to be the deputy director-general level, which is about the same level as the mayor of our Shuicheng.

We small fry should stay out of this; we don't want to end up getting ourselves into trouble.

However, the school handled this matter very poorly, even worse than Old Man Niu.

"Alright, that's enough. We're just ordinary folks, we don't have much power."

"You just wait, Dongzi. When I become successful, I'm definitely going to get my revenge."

Li Zhenhua's anger, which had been somewhat calmed, was reignited during a conversation with his best friend, and his previous desire for revenge grew stronger.

"Okay, so what are you going to do in the future? I remember you said before that your dream was to develop good materials and become a materials scientist."

To solve the problem of our Weilong engine not working, now you~"

Liu Xiaodong didn't finish his sentence, but Li Zhenhua knew what Liu Xiaodong meant.

"Hehe, what to do? What can we do? Of course, we'll just have to accept it."

I'm now in charge of this blacksmith shop, and I'll use it as a private laboratory from now on.

Anyway, we'll develop it slowly. First, we need to figure out how to make some money from this blacksmith shop and then add some new equipment to the shop.

Look at this huge shop, it only has one charcoal stove, not even an electric stove.

Therefore, I plan to upgrade step by step, and I believe there will definitely be progress.

Li Zhenhua shared his thoughts with Liu Xiaodong.

As Liu Xiaodong listened to Li Zhenhua's plan, he secretly wondered what he could do to make a quick buck.

Moreover, this matter had to be combined with the blacksmith shop, which stumped Liu Xiaodong.

Li Zhenhua had no idea what Liu Xiaodong was thinking, but he could tell from the serious look on the fat man's face that he was looking at him.

It wasn't appropriate to interrupt him, so he was left to continue spacing out, while Li Zhenhua himself packed up his tools.

With a "smack," the sound of a hand colliding with flesh reached Li Zhenhu's ears, followed by a loud scream.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

"Hey Fatty, what are you doing?"

Why are you slapping your legs so hard? Do you have a grudge against yourself? Don't you want to be comfortable?

Li Zhenhua looked at Liu Xiaodong, who was grinning, and said to him with a teasing expression.

"Damn it, you blacksmith, how can you be so heartless?"

I've been racking my brains trying to find you a job so you can make money quickly, and instead of that, you're laughing at me.

Looking at Li Zhenhua's expression, Liu Xiaodong felt a pang of grievance. Seeing that look on Li Zhenhua's face made him feel disgusted and he almost vomited.

Although Li Zhenhua was still disgusted by the fat man's expression, he forced down the churning in his stomach, went to Liu Xiaodong's side, and apologized to him.

"Okay, Fatty, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have teased you like that. Please tell me what you think."

Liu Xiaodong knew that Li Zhenhua was just joking with him and that those words were unintentional, so he quickly forgave him.

"Zhenhua, do you know about a knife forging competition? It's a global knife competition with a huge influence."

Blacksmiths from all over the world want to work here and compete with the world's top blacksmiths.

And most importantly, in the clips I watched, the prize money for this sword-forging competition was quite substantial.

Moreover, I noticed that the blacksmiths who participated in the competition gained more recognition after returning home.

They even have people who specifically commission them to make knives; I think you could consider developing your business in that direction.

At this moment, Li Zhenhua was unaware of the existence of such a competition; it was something he had never even heard of before. He then cast a group of glances at Liu Xiaodong.

When Liu Xiaodong saw Li Zhenhua looking at him like that, he immediately began to explain.

"This sword-forging competition is basically about having the blacksmiths forge a sword and then put it through their tests, which include things like sharpness and armor-piercing ability."

I don't really understand, but anyway, they brought a bunch of things and had someone take a knife and start chopping.

If you're interested, you can look into it.

"Okay, since it's all about making money, I'll look into it first and then make a decision. You mentioned a bonus, is it a lot?"

Li Zhenhua was very interested in what Liu Xiaodong was saying, thinking that he didn't have anything else to do anyway.

Since that's the case, I might as well do this; it'll give me something to do.

"I've heard there are quite a few. A while ago, a nationally renowned developer came to our county. The manager in charge of our business here is very young, only in his early twenties."

I thought that by taking him to visit the kiln and currying favor with him, I could at least get half of the materials for the newly built housing development.

Surprisingly, this person wasn't lecherous, but he loved playing with things like knives, crossbows, armor, and motorcycles.

I learned about this sword-forging competition from him. Luckily, I helped out at your house when I was a child, so I know a little about blacksmithing.

Otherwise, there's no common ground at all. If you can't even talk to him, then forget about sending him any information.

"Now it's great, I've secured three-quarters of the mortar for this new development, and even my husband praised me for doing a good job."

Liu Xiaodong explained to Li Zhenhua how he knew about the knife-forging competition and also told his good brother about his achievements.

Looking at the smug fat man opposite him, Li Zhenhua was happy for him.

"Not bad, you're definitely one of the best among the rich kids. Hehehe."

"What are you laughing at? I feel like you're mocking me. Compared to them, what kind of rich kid am I?"

"If I were a rich kid, would I need to drive this 200,000+ yuan 'Emperor Bathhouse'?"

Liu Xiaodong, the fat man, was particularly sensitive to the term "rich second generation" and directly retorted to Li Zhenhua.
