The old patriarch felt deeply humiliated and stubbornly stared at Lu Zheng and the other man, suppressing his anger.

If they don't sign, the entire Mingjia Village will be in trouble.

His old clan chief had confidently assured the whole village that he could handle the matter, but now that Lu Zheng's contract was right in front of him, he was unwilling to sign it. What does that mean?

Even if he is the old clan chief and has the authority to do so in the village, if he gives up cooperating with Lu Zheng because of his anger, he will lose the interests of the whole village. His position as the old clan chief will be over.

He didn't want to talk to Lu Zheng and the others anymore. With a wave of his hand, he said, "The contract is signed. I'm leaving. This matter ends here. Starting tomorrow, you can supply us with goods. But, Elder Clan Chief, please read the terms of the contract carefully. I want good quality goods."

Since Lu Zheng took this risk for them, the reward must be realistic.

The old patriarch snorted coldly, and without a word, got up and walked out.

Looking for quality products?

Heh, let him dream on.

When he got back, he ordered his workers to work overtime, producing three days' worth of goods in one day.

Anyway, they estimate that Lu Zheng won't be able to start selling the goods until at least a week after he starts stockpiling them.

If they can finish nearly a month's worth of goods this week, they can simply run away when the time comes.

Just as the old patriarch turned to leave, Mingxiang's eyes sharpened. She glanced at the doorway and said, "The old patriarch left with a grudge; I doubt he'll stop now. I'm afraid they..."

Lu Zheng turned to look at Ming Xiang and said, "I know, and I know they will mix some defective products into the first batch of goods."

However, this was precisely the perfect opportunity for Lu Zheng to have surgery.

We'll just have to wait until tomorrow.

Li Gu was unaware that Mingjia Village and Lu Zheng had established a connection, and even less aware that their actions would not only not impact Lu Zheng, but would also inadvertently provide him with additional income.

He was still smiling smugly, swirling the wine glass in his hand, looking at Li Jingxuan beside him, and said, "Son, don't worry, this time we will definitely make Mingxiang pay the price."

His face was still swollen, and he still spoke with a slight lisp.

However, it's interesting to think about how Mingjia Village got into a dilemma and pressured Ming Xiang, eventually escalating the situation to the Ming family patriarch.

Li Gu, who runs such a large business, naturally knows what Mingjia Village is like, and he also knows that the real power in Mingjia Village belongs to Old Master Ming.

If Old Master Ming speaks up for them, then no matter how much Ming Xiang struggles, it will be useless.

But Li Jingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "But Father, there's Zhou Jiaxing above us, and that young master is even more disgusting."

Li Gu's mood had improved considerably, but Li Jingxuan's words instantly dampened it again.

Indeed, they are somewhat at the mercy of others.

This Zhou Jiaxing is the same age as his son, yet he's acting all high and mighty towards them.

Li Jingxuan touched the wound on his face and said, "Never mind, Dad, I'm going to sleep. Tell me immediately if you have any news in the next few days."

He was extremely agitated, so after telling his father, he went upstairs.

Li Gu squinted. Lu Zheng, this brat, he's just a small, newly established company. It's one thing for him to deal with Jiang Li'er, but he dares to provoke the Li family's power.

It seems necessary to crack down on his robotics business.

However, he couldn't make this too obvious at this point.

He needs to lie low for a while, waiting for Mingjia Village to confront Lu Zheng first.

This day has caused considerable losses to Mingjia Village; they won't be able to hold on until tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

He decided to stop thinking about all that messy stuff and just wait and see what happened.

...

Time flies, and it was already the next morning.

After working through the night, several truckloads of goods were produced in Mingjia Village.

The workers looked exhausted, but the people of Mingjia Village were extremely proud.

They had their workers produce an extra 500,000 worth of goods in just one night, bringing the total value of this batch to 3.5 million.

Of course, not all of them are defective products, but there are probably tens of thousands of defective products among the extra 500,000.

It's not that it's completely unusable, but it's highly likely to have some negative impact on the company.

However, now that they are cooperating with Lu Zheng, these goods are going through Lu's Trading Company's channels, which will also affect Lu's Trading Company's profits.

They felt the impact on them would be very small.

The old clan chief's two sons were the most excited at this moment.

The two men felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction because their father had taken their advice.

This feeling is absolutely amazing!

"Dad, hehe, I really look forward to seeing how Lu Zheng will react then."

"Hmm, humph, I'm going to make him pay for all the humiliation he caused me yesterday."

"Uh... Dad, it's alright. Good things come to those who wait, and revenge is never too late. What's that saying again? If Heaven wants to destroy someone, it first makes them arrogant. Lu Zheng was originally just a dog that the Jiang family didn't want. He only gained some ability after receiving Ming Xiang's help."

"Now that he's achieved this much, he's become incredibly arrogant. He even dares to hoard goods from our Mingjia Village and treat you like that, Father. Heh, don't blame us when we see him make a fool of himself."

The old clan chief nodded with a smile: "You're all right, hehe, come on, get in the car! Let's go and have a go at this grandson."

"Get on the bus, guys."

With a shout to the truck driver, the old clan chief's car led the way, looking very imposing.

Meanwhile, Lu Zheng and his team were preparing to receive the first batch of goods.

However, Lu Zheng had already guessed that there must be defective products in their shipment, so last night, Lu Zheng's team worked overtime to create a non-disassembly inspection robot.

These sensors and such were all prepared in advance by Lu Zheng and his team, so last night they only did an assembly.

Actually, this was a robot skill that Lu Zheng originally planned to add to the second and third generation robots, but he didn't expect it to be used now.

But the old clan chief and the others didn't know.

They felt that no matter how impressive Lu Zheng's words were, it was impossible for him to open and inspect each and every item of the more than three million yuan worth of goods.

As long as they don't do that, it's perfectly fine for some to sneak in.

If they were to inspect each item one by one, three million worth of goods would probably be enough to exhaust them to the point of exhaustion. After all, the machinery is more expensive, costing four or five thousand yuan per piece according to their factory price, but the clothes and toys only cost ten or twenty yuan, with the most costing no more than fifty yuan.

And then there are dried fruits, potato chips, and the like. Once you open a bag, it's all wasted. Putting aside whether he has the time to do that, can he even sell them after he's opened them?

He, Lu Zheng, certainly doesn't have that kind of courage.
