Chapter 133: Made a Fortune

Li Jiaci discovered that this guy was relying on himself more and more.

In a few days, Wang Yingna's journey to quit powder would be completely over.

When the time came, where she would go and what she would do were unknown.

Having Li Qinglan's past experience as a warning.

Li Jiaci did not dare to casually invest in a new affection.

Right now he had only one goal.

That was to make money.

To make big money.

To bring his brothers a good life.

Shortly after.

Zhang Chuqiang and Zhao Chen got ready.

The car fleet drove to the gate and could set off at any moment.

Li Jiaci walked over and waved at Zhang Chuqiang.

"Qiangzi, come here for a moment!"

Hearing that, Zhang Chuqiang hurriedly got down from the vehicle.

"What's up, brother?"

Li Jiaci glanced at the car fleet.

Then he said: "All the warehouses are out of stock; today you split the car fleet into two batches—one batch delivers timber to the warehouses, the other goes to the edge trade market to pick up goods!"

Zhang Chuqiang nodded and asked: "Will the Bei Bang side have any objections?"

In doing business, Bei Bang Guo values punctuality and trustworthiness.

If, due to having half the car fleet missing, it affected the other party's delivery time, those delivery drivers would likely complain.

Li Jiaci gave a faint smile.

"It's just making them wait a bit longer; it's not like we're shortchanging them!"

"If anyone dares to complain, just go call Xiao Cui!"

"See who dares to say another word!"

With those words.

Zhang Chuqiang felt more at ease.

"Fine, let's do it that way!"

One morning's time.

The car fleet gradually sent the factory's timber to several newly opened warehouses.

To ensure each site had sufficient stock.

The middlemen guarding the gate saw this, knew that Li Lao Ban was again diverting traffic, and after a quick discussion, about half of them directly followed the car fleet to stake out the various warehouses.

Li Jiaci, seeing the time was about right, then had Liu Jiang prepare to open for business.

Naturally, Wang Zong, who had signed the contract, was the first to pick up the goods.

Watching Wang Zong lead the cargo-laden car fleet back fully loaded, these middlemen were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, wishing they could conjure a contract out of thin air.

Wang Zong wore a satisfied grin, sitting in the passenger seat, saying leisurely: "See? If I hadn't acted quickly, bringing a generous gift to apologize, we wouldn't have today's treatment!"

The driver hurriedly nodded and laughed, saying: "Boss, your foresight is impressive—admired, admired!"

"In business you must have give-and-take; if you want to make money you must sacrifice your face—once you have real cash in hand you'll see face is just worthless shit!"

"Yes yes yes..."

Shiqiang Mucai Chang.

Liu Jiang had these middlemen line up on their own, waiting to trade.

The old familiar price was gone; now everyone had to cooperate at 600 yuan per unit of timber.

With Wang Zong setting the example, the others dared not say anything.

Now securing timber is the top priority.

Otherwise, just keep taking those mixed-quality defective products and keep hitting walls everywhere!

The Pingzhou timber market had restored its former order.

A few days later.

Li Jiaci had Wang Lan do an accounting to calculate how much they had made so far.

Wang Lan's health had greatly improved; she and Liu Jiang huddled in the dorm counting money, her hands almost cramping from the tally, the red bills almost blurring before her eyes.

Dinner was served.

Wang Lan brought the ledger to Li Jiaci and exhaled a heavy breath of coppery smell.

"Brother, I've figured it out!"

"In these few days we've earned a total of 8.65 million, and all inventory has sold out!"

"After subtracting the big guys' wages, we still have exactly 8.6 million left!"

Upon saying that.

Applause thundered on the dinner table.

The cheers were about to lift the roof off.

Li Yihu even jumped directly onto the table and blew several loud whistles.

Like a big monkey.

Li Jiaci took the ledger and asked: "After subtracting the money paid to Bei Bang Guo and the tariffs, how much remains?"

That's a huge sum.

Everyone also quieted down.

Recently, the amount of timber the factory needs is twice what it used to be.

The expenses and tariffs that need to be paid are also twice as much as before.

If we calculate it that way……

I'm afraid there's not much left.

However.

Wang Lan, however, broke into a cheerful laugh.

"Brother, I've taken care of all of these!"

"The 8.6 million I mentioned is exactly what we have left now!"

"We've struck it rich!"

"Instantly."

"The scene erupted again."

Li Jiaci looked at his delighted brothers and smiled with relief.

Such a scene, he had dreamed of it too many times in his past life, but each time he woke from the dream, that feeling of detachment, loss, and regret almost drowned him.

But everything happening now is real and tangible, not a dream of his.

Wang Yingna turned her head and saw Li Jiaci's smile; for some reason, she suddenly felt as if someone had violently tugged at her heart.

He was clearly smiling.

But why does he look so sorrowful?

It felt as if something was pressing on him, making it hard to breathe.

Wang Yingna was about to ask him a few questions when a sudden spray of beer interrupted her.

Zhang Chuqiang swayed his beer, spraying it with both hands left and right onto everyone's faces.

"Brother, we've struck it rich!"

"Hahaha……"

This joyful atmosphere continued until after the meal.

Li Jiaci prepared a stack of red envelopes and had the factory workers line up to receive them.

After handing out the last envelope to the workers, Li Jiaci looked up and saw his five brothers also queuing to get red envelopes.

"Everyone gets one!"

Li Jiaci said with a smile.

After distributing all of them, he still had one red envelope left in his hand.

"Wang Yingna!"

Wang Yingna, who was sitting in a daze at the dormitory entrance, heard Li Jiaci call her, blinked, then came to her senses and walked over with a blank expression.

"What's up, Brother Jiaci?"

"This is yours!"

Li Jiaci handed the red envelope to her.

Hearing this, Wang Yingna opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.

She had been at Shiqiang Mucai Chang for a few months; although she rose and slept with the workers every day, she hadn't done any proper work.

Instead, she kept causing trouble for Li Jiaci everywhere.

Feeling unworthy, Wang Yingna pushed the red envelope back and said, "Brother Jiaci, I'm fine just getting by here; you don't need to worry about me all the time."

"Mm, sensible!"

"But this is your reward for successfully quitting powder!"

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

Li Jiaci laughed brightly.

"Reward?"

Wang Yingna opened her mouth even wider.

Since the last time she asked for a reward and Li Jiaci scolded her, she hadn't thought about it again.

Who would have thought this person would say one thing but mean another, silently preparing everything?

Wang Yingna had never been treated this way by anyone except her own older brother, Wang Zhen.

"Brother Jiaci, I……"

She choked up for a moment.

Li Jiaci tousled her bangs and shoved the red envelope into her hand.

"Take it!"

"You deserve it!"

Just as he was about to turn around,

Wang Yingna suddenly asked, "What about your reward?"

"Me?"

Li Jiaci pointed to his own nose.
