"Boss, how much are you selling this place for?"
Since the boss had mentioned selling it as a package deal, and Meng Huai was quite satisfied with the entire factory, she directly inquired about the price.
The boss hadn't expected her to ask the price directly, fearing that if he quoted too high, he might scare off these students.
"Student, are you looking on behalf of your parents? I'm selling it sincerely. How about twenty billion for all of this?"
Meng Huai was considering the matter. Twenty billion for such a large area, and the location was also suitable. No one disturbed her while she was thinking. Even the boss held his breath, afraid Meng Huai was just playing along.
The boss was worried that Meng Huai and her group might suddenly say "surprise!" and then it would be awkward. But to his surprise, Meng Huai circled the factory again and then said to the boss, "Twenty billion? No problem, shall we sign the contract today?"
Hearing this, the boss's hands trembled slightly. He said incredulously, "Yes, yes, of course. Do you need a loan? Shall I find someone to handle the paperwork?"
Loans required bank personnel to operate together. Upon hearing the boss's words, Meng Huai waved her hand. She didn't want a loan. She had lost sleep over tuition loans in the past.
"No need, I'll pay in full."
Hearing this, the boss looked at Meng Huai with indescribable shock. Who was this person? Twenty billion and she could pay in full just like that? Were students this rich these days?
"Alright, alright, then we can process the paperwork now."
The paperwork was quickly completed, and the boss was also surprised by how smoothly it went. He said earnestly, "If you need any help with anything here, feel free to contact me anytime!"
"Okay, thank you."
With all the paperwork done, Meng Huai led her classmates to the medicinal cuisine restaurant. It was indeed not far, only a ten-minute walk.
"Meng Huai, you didn't even bargain just now. That's not like you at all!"
As they walked, Wang Ziming teased her.
Meng Huai smiled at the teasing and replied, "That boss seemed a bit pitiable! And twenty billion was quite reasonable."
Meng Huai thought about the boss's reasons for selling the factory, which had some connection to her, so she didn't bargain.
Gu Ping, walking behind, chimed in, "Indeed, even the machines are very valuable!"
Gu Ping, as a mecha mechanic, though not particularly knowledgeable about those machines, could still discern their quality. At least from the materials, he could tell that the boss had probably spent a lot of money on these machines.
Meng Huai agreed with this point. She turned to Gu Ping and said, "Do you want to earn some extra money?"
At the same time, Meng Huai called out the names of a few people, mecha mechanics from their small group. Gu Ping exchanged glances with those whose names Meng Huai had called and asked curiously, "Do what?"
"Yeah, earn what extra money?"
To be honest, it wasn't fake to be curious. And it wasn't fake to be tempted by extra money.
Meng Huai told them, "These machines are originally shampoo production lines, and they're a bit unsuitable for brewing wine. I plan to modify them to be more suitable for winemaking. Do you want to help?"
These people obviously knew that Meng Huai was inviting them because they were studying mecha engineering. But could they handle this job? That's what they were hesitant about.
Someone said sheepishly, "Can we help?"
"Yes, yes! We'd be happy to, but this job sounds very difficult!"
They were studying mecha engineering, not machine repair. They couldn't help but doubt if they could do it.
Looking at them, Meng Huai thought: These future mecha mechanics, they just need a lesson from Wen Bo. Look at how adaptable Rong Feiwen is now! He's skilled in all eighteen martial arts!
However, Meng Huai couldn't invite Wen Bo, so she had to come herself.
"You don't need to worry about this. I already have some ideas. But if I operate it alone, it will definitely take a lot of time."
Moreover, she was going to participate in a league in a couple of days, so Meng Huai planned to find some people to help.
Gu Ping was the first to agree, "I'm fine with it. Just tell me when you need me!"
Gu Ping was the most adaptable among them. Since Meng Huai said he could do it, then he was fine. With Gu Ping setting the example, others also agreed one after another.
"I'm fine too!"
"I can do it too!"
The group was very excited on the way. Seeing this, Ju Yiqiu told everyone, "Then you all need to hurry and finish the work! I'm still waiting to drink this wine!"
"Alright!"
Ju Yiqiu wasn't the only one who wanted to drink this wine, so her words were very motivating.
In this cheerful chatter, they arrived at the medicinal cuisine restaurant. Sister Ting came out to greet them. "I could hear you chatting from inside. What were you talking about? You're all so excited."
Seeing Meng Huai, Sister Ting walked straight towards her. "Shop owner, everything is ready. Room number one!"
Now that school had started, it was really difficult to see Meng Huai. Meng Huai casually asked, "How was the feedback on the last batch of wine?"
Meng Huai had wanted to hear if there were any suggestions. If her winery were established, she wouldn't be able to sell only one type of wine.
However, to her surprise, she received no suggestions, only positive reviews!
When Sister Ting spoke of the wine, she couldn't stop talking. "Oh, I've seen the official website, and the reviews are all excellent, with all five-star ratings! Many people are asking when they can buy it again!"
At that time, they had only said they would sell a few bottles, which was definitely not enough to grab. But many people were also guessing if new products were going to be launched. Otherwise, they wouldn't start selling wine out of the blue!
Meng Huai told Sister Ting, "I just bought a factory today. Sister Ting, you can tell the customers when you have time. It's not far from when that wine will be launched."
Sister Ting was clearly excited. "Alright, this way the customers won't complain to me all the time!"
"Then you all enjoy your meal. I'm going to get busy."
With the factory matters scheduled, Meng Huai found these 'employees.' Although they were a bit unfamiliar with the work in the first few days, practice makes perfect! Soon they would get the hang of it. Meng Huai told them everything that needed to be done and then went for her competition.
These people certainly couldn't neglect their classes. They just came to the factory together after class to complete the work.
One day, a few people were chatting. "These past few days, I've actually felt more proficient in disassembling mechs!"
Gu Ping told him, "Do you really think what you're doing every day is useless? This is also practice! Doing this work repeatedly every day is also practice."
However, some people didn't believe him, thinking Gu Ping was talking nonsense. This person patted the machine he was working on and said, "This big fellow, it sometimes has a connection with mechs. How can it help with mecha disassembly? I think it's just a coincidence."
