Chapter 540: Working for Big Money?
Originally thought that exchanging all the Source Beads on hand for money would be almost enough, but the fact proved otherwise.
The money earned from working, wanting to customize a large-scale machinery…
Just thinking about it is enough.
So, to truly get rich, not worrying about money and relying on working won’t cut it. Even engaging in high-risk, high-paying occupations like Origin Mage.
“It seems like I’ll have to think of some other ways to make money!”
It seems that doing legitimate business in this world is not easy, there’s no quick way to get things done, but directly robbing in this world seems a bit dangerous, with various strange abilities emerging endlessly, it’s hard to guard against…
Thinking about how to make money, Su Hao returned home, entered the pinball space, and checked the recorded books.
Five days later, Yashan sent a message: “Boss Wei, the mechanical design drawings are ready. They are divided into several sections: ‘Spiritualization Station’, ‘Processing’, ‘Classification’, ‘Synthesis’, ‘Packaging’. I’ve minimized the volume as much as possible. Take a look first.”
After receiving the files, Su Hao replied with a nod, then carefully examined them. After confirming that the design was correct, he began to translate and annotate in the language of this world, and then set off.
Whether he could afford it or not, he still had to let the manufacturer set a price first. With a goal in mind, it would be easier to make money.
He first bought a stack of thick paper, then drew various component drawings on the paper with composite runes, sorted them out with numbers, and then set off with the design drawings to the address given by President Gu Yin.
If he walked, it would take about two days, but fortunately Su Hao could fly, without even needing to transform into a “Child of Fate”, he could just cast a Wind Escape Technique directly.
There were plenty of Origin Mages who could fly, so he didn’t have to worry about standing out too much.
The factory introduced by Gu Yin was called Huchang Evergreen Factory, located just outside the eastern suburbs of Huchang City.
Su Hao had been to Huchang City before. When he was looking for destined individuals with Yashan and Feng Cheng Carrier, he came to this city.
More than an hour later, Su Hao landed outside a factory in the eastern suburbs, circled around, and found the main entrance sign, which read “Hengxuan District Huchang City Evergreen Advanced Giant Machinery Research Group”.
Very imposing, it seemed that it shouldn’t be a problem to help Su Hao build the machinery.
As he approached, someone immediately came forward to stop him: “Kid, what are you doing here, hurry up and leave!”
Su Hao directly took out the introduction letter and stated his purpose, saying, “I’m here to have a batch of machinery customized at the machinery factory. Could you please help me pass it on to the person in charge?”
Without the introduction letter, Su Hao would probably have to break in with force, but with the introduction letter, bearing the association’s seal, it was different.
After reading the introduction letter, the person didn’t stop him anymore, but instead pointed in a direction and said, “Go in from this side, you’ll see a negotiation room, someone will receive you.”
A middle-aged man with a big belly, who called himself Old Hu, warmly welcomed Su Hao after reading his introduction letter. Tea and other necessities were all prepared, and there was no neglect because Su Hao was young.
Su Hao didn’t waste too much time either, directly handed over his design drawings and said, “These are the design drawings for the machinery I want to customize. If it’s convenient, please give me a rough estimate of the price, so I have an idea.”
The machinery on these drawings, Yashan has already removed the critical parts, and the rest are just common mechanical components for classification and synthesis, so Su Hao doesn’t need to worry about the drawings leaking out or anything.
The value of these drawings lies in the intricacy of the design structure; it’s clearly the work of a master, but there’s nothing particularly special about them. Even if the other party takes them, it doesn’t matter.
Old Hu took a look at the booklet and was secretly surprised. He originally thought it was some young master wanting to make some toys and would casually quote a price to get through it, but he didn’t expect it to be serious.
The design drawings are clear and neat, yet extremely clever. The various parameters on them are very detailed, and the various mechanical structures are unprecedented. With his experience, although he’s not a professional, he still has an eye for these things. He said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll ask a professional mechanical design engineer to take a look.”
Then he took Su Hao’s drawings and left.
Before long, an old man whose hair was almost gone rushed in with Su Hao’s drawings and said eagerly to Su Hao, “Are you the one who wants to make these machines? Who designed these drawings? They are definitely the work of a top designer! It’s unimaginable what kind of genius could come up with such ingenious designs; his mind must be filled with the cosmos!
Please make sure to introduce me to that genius designer. I need to exchange technical knowledge with him and get some new inspiration. It’s been so many years, there hasn’t been any groundbreaking innovation in mechanical design; it’s all the same old stuff from before, and I’m tired of it…
When I saw this booklet of design drawings just now, you may not know, but my brain felt like it was opening up, and all sorts of ingenious design ideas surged out, almost making my old bones burn up…”
Su Hao and Old Hu: “…”
Old Hu awkwardly said to Su Hao, “He’s our factory’s chief designer, Old Ying, he’s always like this, Subo, don’t mind.”
Old Ying’s face turned stern as he scolded the middle-aged man, “What do you know? Do you know the value of this design drawing? If you don’t know, then don’t speak.”
The middle-aged man: “…”
Su Hao directly asked, “Director Old Ying, may I ask, how much money would it cost to build this set of equipment?”
Old Ying waved his hand grandly, “Money? As long as it’s done in our factory, it’s free!”
The middle-aged man was shocked, “Hey hey hey! Uh… Director Old Ying, please stay calm! How can something like this be free? You wave your hand, and tens of millions are gone! Can you still wave your hand like this? How can our factory workers get paid? Even if we don’t count the wages, materials, energy, these are all money!”
He immediately squeezed out a smile and said to Su Hao, “Subo, don’t be offended, Old Ying doesn’t understand anything, let’s continue the discussion, I’ll talk to you.”
Old Ying immediately retorted, “Nonsense! Do you understand anything? Can the structure and ideas on this design drawing be measured with money? Do you know that this design concept could completely trigger a wave of mechanical revolution? Tens of millions? Are you stupid? Can tens of millions buy this design drawing? After absorbing this set of mechanical structural innovations, it can increase Evergreen Factory’s revenue by at least several billion!”
Old Hu was almost about to spew out a mouthful of old blood from being scolded, hastily saying, “Yes, yes, everything you said is correct, but, can we discuss this later? Let me set a price for this, and then we can talk after it’s confirmed…”
Old Ying: “Are you an idiot? Set what price…”
This old man Old Ying was just fixated on his own reasoning, and he scolded Old Hu again, leaving him somewhat doubting life.
Old Ying used to be quite normal when they interacted before, so why did his temperament suddenly change so drastically today, like he’s gone mad? Moreover, while the value of the design drawings is indeed high, couldn’t he have waited until after the guest left to talk slowly?
The principle of making a fortune in silence, at his age, he still doesn’t understand, it’s truly frustrating!
Su Hao couldn’t help but feel a bit toothache at the mention of “tens of millions”. To think that it would cost tens of millions to make this set of equipment? This kind of money is like dirt!
Thinking back to when he found out he had earned over two million yuan before, he was secretly delighted: finally earned big money through his hard work.
It seems he was thinking too much! He can’t even afford a single machine!
Can one make big money by working?
Finally, Su Hao completely extinguished the idea of relying on being a Origin Mage to make big money by clearing disasters. If he wants to make money, he still has to openly ‘earn’ it by forming a team!
Just like the Magician Association taking a thirty percent bonus! That’s how you make big money.
Su Hao made a decisive decision: “Alright then! I’ll provide the materials for making the machinery, and then I’ll have these machines made in your factory, how about that?”
Old Ying immediately said, “Deal, that’s how it will be! The condition is that you introduce me to this designer.”
Middle-aged Old Hu, who already had little hair left, sighed, “Hey hey hey~ Don’t be hasty, let’s talk things out…”
Su Hao ignored Old Hu and said, “As for the designer, it’s simple, his name is Jia Yashan, not very talkative, I’ll introduce you to him later. But I only have two million, is that enough?”
Introducing them to each other could save a lot of effort, why not do it?
Old Ying waved his hand and said, “It’s enough! You don’t need two million, one million is enough!”
Su Hao smiled, “Okay, deal!”
Old Hu sighed helplessly, “Old Ying, how… how do I explain this to the factory manager?”
Old Ying: “You go away, I’ll explain.”
Su Hao walked out of Evergreen Factory with a satisfied heart, not expecting this operation to go so smoothly.
Yashan’s cultivation of spirit grass on his side had already begun to show results. Now, as long as the machinery was successfully made, they would be able to mass-produce spiritual medicines soon. By then, the time to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm would be greatly shortened!
He casually opened Yashan’s contact list: “Yashan, I’ve introduced you to a temporary job. You can supervise the assembly line production here.”
Then he took a picture of the factory.
Yashan: “What? Temporary job? 🐶”
Why does he feel like he’s about to go into the factory to work?
