Chapter 53: Time is money

Tomorrow……

Li Jiaci paused and said: "Tomorrow will be the hardest day for you, because tomorrow will not be a psychological desire but a bodily instinctive desire; that kind of pain is very hard to endure."

My advice to you is to hold on as long as you can, endure, endure until you reach the limit of your stamina, then take the medicine.

Of course, if you can hold out until the fifth or sixth day before taking the medicine I gave you, then your speed of quitting this will be faster than I said.

He heard his words.

Wang Yingna nodded blankly: "I understand."

Li Jiaci also specifically reminded her: "Remember what I said—don't endure past your limit, or you'll easily run into trouble."

I know.

Will it be the same as when we first met?

Wang Yingna stuck out her tongue playfully and said: "But I have you, don't I? Worst case, I'll just call you over to feed me then!"

……

Even adding the previous life.

He had only ever been with Li Qinglan.

And thinking back to that scene, Li Jiaci's face also turned a little red.

But he still put on a tough front and said: "Do you not know how to write the two words 'shame'?"

Hehe.

Do you know what it matters?

Wang Yingna pursed her lips and said: "Anyway, we've already kissed; if there's one, there'll be a second."

Li Jiaci couldn't be bothered to deal with her.

……

At the same time.

A small gambling house in Pingzhou.

Li Yonglin had several big‑waisted thugs thrown out of the gate.

Damn it!

No money and still playing? Get lost, old man!

After saying that, the thug spat at Li Yonglin.

Li Yonglin, indignant, got up from the ground and said: "What's so arrogant about a bunch of security guards? When I make it big, I'll kill you lot who look down on people."

Screw your mother!

The thug showed no mercy to Li Yonglin and kicked him again in the chest.

Come on, guys, let's all move.

This old fool is still dreaming; help him wake up.

The surrounding thugs also didn't hesitate, swarming forward to surround Li Yonglin and beat him up.

Damn it.

From now on, don't bullshit, hear me?

Otherwise, I'll hit you every time I see you.

They kept beating until Li Yonglin lay on the ground refusing to get up, then the thugs finally cursed and left the scene.

While waiting for the thugs to leave.

Li Yonglin also got up from the ground, rubbed his sore, swollen waist, and spat hard at the gambling house's gate.

What the hell!

You wait for me to turn things around!

After saying that, Li Yonglin's stomach also started growling.

He instinctively felt his pocket, but only found two copper coins inside.

Damn……

Li Yonglin cursed under his breath, rubbed his stomach, suddenly froze, and then his eyes brightened noticeably.

Right!

I still have a new son‑in‑law.

Li Yonglin had indeed heard Li Jiaci say that.

This new son‑in‑law of his is very capable and also very rich.

As a father‑in‑law, it's only natural for him to go ask his son‑in‑law for some spending money, right?

Thinking that way.

Li Yonglin, without the slightest hesitation, strode straight toward Pingzhou University.

……

On the other side.

Back at the wood‑processing factory.

Li Jiaci first sent Wang Yingna to the office, then came to the site himself.

At that moment, Li Yihu's side had already unloaded all the timber from the truck, and the workers were busy processing the wood.

Watching the workers push the timber out of the workshop and the timber merchants outside waiting to load up, Li Jiaci unconsciously curled the corner of his mouth.

Now this production line is basically fully established.

Once it stabilizes, he can also go study the next phase of business.

And it was also at this time.

Hong Bo came to Li Jiaci's side, chuckling and saying: "Li Lao Ban, this business of yours is really getting more and more respectable."

Isn't this still thanks to Hong Ge's patronage?

Li Jiaci then flattered: "If it weren't for Hong Ge helping us inside and out, how could we have gained fame so quickly?"

Eh eh eh!

You can't say that.

Hong Bo, not taking credit, went straight to the point: "It's because your timber is good and the price is fair and reasonable, which is why so many people have come."

Otherwise, even if I wore out my lips talking, I could only bring in a few people.

But...

Saying this, Hong Bo suddenly stopped smiling, pointed at the factory interior, and said: "Isn't your production speed a bit slow?"

I just took a look; you all day long can at most process 170-80 cubic meters of timber.

Look at how many people are waiting at your door—what can you do with just over a hundred cubic meters of timber?

Hong Bo leaned close to Li Jiaci and said: "Li Lao Ban, as a businessman, you should also understand that time is money, right?"

Hmm...

Li Jiaci narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Actually, he had also noticed this problem.

Although they now have night shifts and sufficient manpower.

But after all, they only have three machines, processing at most 100 tons of raw timber per day, which completely falls short of demand.

And Li Jiaci also clearly knew this.

This market can at most last three months.

After three months, when Xiong Guo's birch enters the inland market, it will be hard to have such a booming scene again.

I'll figure something out, I promise not to make everyone wait for nothing.

Li Jiaci reached out and patted Hong Bo's shoulder, saying: "Hong Ge, you've worked hard too—go find Liu Jiang; he's already prepared your tea."

Hearing this.

Hong Bo's eyes also lit up: "Working for Boss Li is really reassuring; once I convince my better half, I'll come join you right away."

Good!

He saw Hong Bo off.

Li Jiaci also began to calculate.

Given the current situation, they barely make tens of thousands of yuan each day, so buying a few machines is certainly no problem.

And he didn't hesitate, immediately calling out: "Chu Qiang, A Lan! You two wrap up what you're doing and come with me."

As Hong Bo said, time is money.

Since this market only has this three-month boom.

Then he must necessarily maximize his own profits within these three months.

Only then can he have more capital to expand the next phase of business.

He took money from Liu Jiang.

Li Jiaci then led Zhang Chuqiang and Wang Lan together to buy new wood-processing equipment.

In this period, raw materials and labor are both worthless.

Only those machines bearing technology patents are valuable, as good as gold.

Li Jiaci took the two of them to several machine factories; the Wood Splitting Machine, Wood Planer Machine, and Wood Saw Machine—even adding the cheapest factory that sells them as a set—cost over eighty thousand yuan.

What a partner!

Zhang Chuqiang said: "Buying this one machine, we'll work for nothing all day!"
