Chapter 372: Chapter 153 A Super Busy Day, One Dish Multiple Ways [9000 words]

Ren Zhong: "Hiss!"

Wang Zhaofu: "What’s wrong? Did you get hurt, brother?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ren Zhong shook his head. "No. By the way, Brother Wang, about the equipment parts I mentioned earlier, I think we might need to delay that."

Wang Zhaofu’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling a bit disheartened.

To prepare in advance for Ren Zhong’s big order, he had been networking extensively for the past few days, ready to make payments and ship items.

Given their changed relationship, Wang Zhaofu didn’t even ask for a deposit this time, planning to ask Ren Zhong for money when obtaining items from suppliers.

Unexpectedly, a change occurred.

However, Brother Wang knew well that Ren Zhong was a man of his word, so a sudden change of plan must have its reasons. He immediately said: "Brother Ren, is it that you’re short on cash? I don’t have much liquid capital, but still I could..."

Ren Zhong replied sheepishly, "Actually, I’m not short of money. It’s just that my money has another use for now. The matter of modifying the equipment will have to be postponed for a while."

"How long will it be postponed?"

"About a month or so."

"That’s fine then."

"But the specific requirements might change by then."

"Will there be a big change in the amount?"

"Not much change in the amount, or maybe even a bit more."

"Mhm."

Ren Zhong thought for a moment, then said: "Brother Wang, do you have any plans to start a real trading company recently?"

Wang Zhaofu chuckled, "Ha, you really saw through me. Ah, there’s no way but to strive. I’m already thirty-two. If I don’t earn more, I won’t have the chance to pay off my debts or afford the anti-aging potion, won’t live for many more years."

Ren Zhong continued, "Then, Brother Wang, have you ever thought of opening a town-level resource recovery company?"

Wang Zhaofu shook his head like a rattle, "Impossible. A resource recovery company and someone like me running trade are two concepts, belonging to monopoly enterprises within administrative units, registered with the association. Even the most basic Ruined Beast recovery production line, even if buying a second-hand one, costs ten million points. The requirements for verification capital are high, to say the least, moreover, the major shareholder must be a citizen. I’m a provisional citizen now, it’s hopeless."

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, suddenly speaking earnestly: "Brother Wang, I think you should start seriously considering this."

"Why?"

Ren Zhong, with an inscrutable expression: "If nothing goes wrong, I should soon regain my citizenship status. As for money, it shouldn’t be an issue either. Lastly, the major shareholder must be a citizen, but a provisional citizen can be a minor shareholder, right?"

"Hiss! Money isn’t an issue!" This time it was Fatty Wang’s turn to take a sharp breath, "I indeed can be a minor shareholder!"

"There you go, then."

"Wait, Brother Ren, you’re not planning to take over the mess in Starfire Town after Starfire Resources moves out, are you? It’s pointless, the Pu Cha won’t pass."

Ren Zhong: "Circumstances depend on people. In any case, both you and I count as citizens, we wouldn’t be buried together with Starfire Town. If it really doesn’t work out, we can just move out then, and at least we would have earned some entrepreneurial experience, right?"

"That’s also true. But I guess a lot of money will be lost."

Ren Zhong laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, I’m the major shareholder, so any loss is my problem. Brother Wang, you won’t even need to invest, I’ll give you stock options, and over time, convert your dividends into equity capital."

"That’s not right, you’re losing too much."

"It’s fine. Since I’m bringing this up with you, of course it’s the result of careful consideration. Brother Wang, you’re well-connected, resourceful, and efficient. Most importantly, we both trust each other. If I want to pursue a big venture, who else would I partner with if not you?"

Ren Zhong laughed.

Wang Zhaofu pondered for a long time.

If Ren Zhong were just a regular Second Level Professional, Wang Zhaofu would think he’s dreaming.

But Ren Zhong was clearly not simple.

After a long time, Fatty Wang gritted his teeth, "Shall I really start pondering over it?"

"Yes, remember to act quietly, don’t let the news slip. Brother Wang, I need to rest for a bit."

"Alright, you sleep, rest assured I’ll drive."

Ren Zhong closed his eyes, once again entering the hibernation space, and glanced at his account.

Total balance: 6,346,895.96 points.

He recalled for a moment.

When he set out in the morning, since the stocks had been gradually sold off, all funds had returned, and his original balance was 3,339,679.96 points.

According to the original plan, today he was supposed to spend all the funds for purchasing the Fourth Level transformation parts and the small experimental laboratory equipment for Ju Qingmeng.

Adding up other miscellaneous expenditures, he would quickly fall from having 3.3 million fortunes to being a pauper with "only" 200,000 assets.

But now, more than two hours later, not only did he not spend a penny, his assets skyrocketed to 6.34 million.

Among them, 3 million came from Si Mawan, Lin Wang, and Bei Lihui, along with the 7,216 points that the rebirth brought back locked in the hibernation space.
