Coming out of the office, Hao Zhengguang couldn't help but complain, "Didn't they say Master Qin did a lot for him back then, helping him clean up his name and arranging his escape? Now that he's made a name for himself, it's time for him to repay his debt, but he's using a crappy factory to deal with us?"
Qin Yuhao didn't say anything, but there was a lot of unwillingness in his eyes. He felt uncomfortable, but at the moment he was in a desperate situation and had to live under someone else's roof. It was better for someone to give him a way to survive than nothing.
The group was led to the factory by two underlings. The moment they opened the gate, they were stunned. It was a square courtyard with the factory building in the middle, dormitories on the left, and warehouses on the right. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, garbage scattered everywhere, and various vines and vegetation almost buried the factory building.
Everyone found a place to accommodate Qin Yuhao, and then worked together to clean up. After working for several hours, they finally cleaned up a few habitable rooms in the dormitory building.
You Tianfu visited the factory and warehouse and found that all the equipment and machinery were still in place, and there was a batch of unused raw materials stored in the warehouse. It was obvious that this was a relatively well-established factory in its day, but it was unknown why it suddenly closed down.
In the corner of the factory, there is a big pit with uneven and charred ground. There is a small cement house on the edge of the pit. The door is locked with an iron chain. It is unknown what it is used for.
Later that evening, the wheel arrived, saying he wanted to take a few people out for dinner and drinks as a welcome treat. Qin Yuhao was in poor health and certainly couldn't move, so Aunt Hong stayed to take care of him and asked the others to go with him to improve their meals.
Since boarding the cargo ship, several people haven't had a full meal, and they look like refugees all day long. This time, they can finally eat a normal meal. No one refuses and follows the ship to the restaurant.
At the dinner table, the brothers ate voraciously. Even Qin Yuer no longer cared about her image. She took a bite left and right, stuffing her cheeks full.
As they ate, Lunzi gave a brief overview of Chinatown, the first person he mentioned being the bucktoothed Zhang from the day before. "East City is Mr. Dong's territory, so that goes without saying. The boss of the south side is Xie Jiannan, known as Brother Nan. He's fat and has a nasty, ugly face. The guy who started the fight is Zhang Tai, nicknamed Bucktooth Zhang, and he's not a good guy either."
When the topic of bucktoothed Zhang came up, everyone listened in silence. Only Hao Zhengguang clenched his fist. He still remembered the slap, and his face still ached. Swallowing his last bite of food, he vowed to himself that he would get back the money he owed with interest if he had the chance.
Lunzi took a sip of his wine and continued, "Chinatown is technically within the borders of Vietnam, so the only police station here is also run by the Vietnamese police. However, those who can come here are either wanted criminals from various countries or extremely vicious criminals. Most of the time, fists are much more effective than calling the police!"
You Tianfu raised his head and asked the question he was concerned about: "Brother Lun, what business did Master Dong rely on to start his business? We are new here and don't know the market. Can you give us some guidance?"
Wheel laughed. "When Master Dong first came to Chinatown, he was just like you—dumb and clueless. He invested in a steel mill and sold steel as planned. But this isn't China, so there aren't so many legal and legitimate things to do. He lowered prices, stole other people's business, and soon faced threats."
But Dong Ye refused to believe in evil and continued to do as he pleased. Until one day at noon, when he was eating in the factory cafeteria, there was a loud bang and flames shot up into the sky. The cafeteria exploded and was almost razed to the ground.
The accident resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen workers, including Dong Ye’s wife and children. Dong Ye himself was severely burned and had to lie in the hospital for several months.
From then on, Dong Ye matured overnight, as if he had become a different person. He gathered a group of brothers to avenge his enemies and settle his grievances. Later, he opened a casino, which became bigger and bigger, and this is how he is today.
The factory was never reopened, and Dong Ye never looked for a woman again. He knew that he was living on the edge of a knife, and that his relatives might become bargaining chips to threaten him one day.
He didn't want anyone to find fault with him, nor did he want to harm his family. The incident at the factory had become a psychological burden for him, so he had been alone until now.
At this point, Murong Jie seemed to realize something: "Brother Lun, the factory you're talking about...isn't it the abandoned steel mill that Master Dong gave us today?!"
Lunzi nodded. "Yes, it's that steel mill. Actually, don't think Master Dong is heartless. This mill may not be of much value to others, but to Master Dong, it's a lifelong pain. The fact that he can reopen it today is perhaps because he sees a reflection of him in you. I hope you can complete the dream he failed to fulfill.
Chinatown was originally just a refugee camp. Some people who could not return to their home country fled here. Those who had no money built sheds, and those who had money built houses. It was not until the population grew that it gradually developed its own operating system.
With the rapid economic development in recent years and the increasing income of urban residents, more and more businesses have begun to renovate their shops and build new houses. Therefore, building materials are indispensable in the current market!
The factory had everything you need, and most of the machines were still in working order after repairs and maintenance. With just a few modifications, it could be transformed from a steel mill into a building materials factory.
As long as you have the ability, the building materials you produce will definitely be in short supply!"
Then, he changed the subject: "Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. How to implement it is up to you."
In the evening, You Tianfu told Qin Yuhao exactly what he said. The brothers gathered together for a brief discussion and felt that Lun Zi's suggestion made sense. Since they were in Chinatown, they had to follow the market and rules of Chinatown, so they immediately made a decision: to build a building materials factory!
They acted immediately and the next day they split up to work. Qin Yuer stayed in the dormitory to take care of Qin Yuhao, Aunt Hong was responsible for everyone's daily life and meals, Lin Lidong tried to find a way to maintain and repair the machines in the factory, Hao Zhengguang went to recruit some workers, You Tianfu and Murong Jie started to inquire about whether there were any places in the city that needed renovation or new construction, and took the initiative to introduce them and look for customers.
Everything was going steadily. In just three days, they cleaned up the factory, maintained the machines, recruited workers, successfully contacted a restaurant that was about to be renovated, and received the factory's first order!
On the sixth day after taking over, firecrackers rang out at the factory gate. The deafening crackling sound represented that the brothers had officially taken the first step into Chinatown!
