When Xu Fei returned to Xu's Village, it was already noon.

Carrying two strong flatbreads, Xu Fei walked into the alley and saw Half Blind Huang squatting at his own doorstep, counting ants from afar.

"Old Huang, why are you here? Didn't you go to sell toys?"

"Little nephew, you're finally back." Upon hearing the shout, Half Blind Huang jumped up and took out ten blue Wei Ren bills, inviting praise, "How about it?"

"You sold out in the morning?"

"Of course, I wanted to go to the scene of a funeral or wedding, but considering the dates, although we don't have a temple fair here, the nearby Small Lake Town does. I went there and shouted a few times, instantly attracting a large crowd.

It's strange, when I shouted 'cheap sale,' not many people bought, but when I said the manufacturer was stupid and losing money by selling cheap, hey, everyone rushed to buy... Little nephew, don't look at me so sternly, it makes me nervous."

"Call me Manager Xu from now on, and also, don't badmouth the manufacturer!"

"Okay, little nephew!"

Xu Fei nodded in satisfaction and took out two hundred yuan bills. "Here's your share."

"Ah, thank you, Manager." Half Blind Huang happily accepted it. "By the way, I've already sold a thousand pieces today. If I sell another thousand, will my share increase?"

"You're daydreaming."

"..."

"Still twenty percent."

Xu Fei walked into the courtyard. Production was interrupted in the morning, and only 220 pieces were made. Adding the remaining 1821 from before, there were a total of 2041 pieces.

"This morning, the company delivered another batch of goods. Add that to what was left from yesterday. Let's say it's two thousand pieces. I won't count them. Take them all with you. When it's time to settle the accounts, you handle it."

Half Blind Huang said he didn't have any ulterior motives, but he didn't even believe it himself.

At the market in the morning, he even planned to sell them for 1.5 yuan, and the extra money would go into his own pocket.

But when it comes to people and things, you have to have a long-term perspective.

Toys are selling well now, and the supply is abundant. The share is still being distributed as promised...

Having lived for half a lifetime, if he still doesn't understand the saying "greed for small advantages leads to great losses," he might as well change his name to Completely Blind Huang.

Half Blind Huang said seriously, "Manager, rest assured, it will be exactly as it should be. Even if I have any ulterior motives, I will personally chop them up and feed them to the dogs."

After speaking, he started the gasoline engine under the bicycle beam and pulled the handcart away.

Xu Fei rubbed his eight blue Wei Ren bills and turned around to enter the house.

Inside, he summoned the core of the base and continued to produce the Iron Skin Frog.

But looking at the empty inner room, he always felt that something was missing.

Especially since it required 1 million energy to exchange for a tank factory.

Without hesitation, he adjusted the power...

The next moment.

The newly replaced electric meter from yesterday emitted a puff of black smoke.

With eight hundred yuan in his pocket, Xu Fei remained calm and ran skillfully to the convenience store to contact the rural electrician for a replacement.

This time, the other party came quickly.

"What have you been doing at home? Why does the electric meter keep burning out?"

"I haven't done anything. It burned out for no reason. Maybe there's a problem with the quality of your electric meter?"

The rural electrician seemed to think of something but didn't say anything. After finishing the work, he said, "Be careful at home, don't take big steps. I suspect that a wire might have fallen on the ground. Otherwise, the electric meter wouldn't run so fast, consuming 300 degrees in a day. Even flour mills don't have such high power consumption."

It wasn't 300 degrees in a day, it was clearly per second.

Xu Fei saw the electrician off and checked the quantity of Iron Skin Frogs.

1291 kg of metal iron, 50 liters of paint, all put into production, taking 3 seconds.

But due to the power supply, the first second consumed 521.4 grams of metal iron and produced 9800 pieces. In the second second, the power was cut off and production stopped.

"9800, 220 in the morning, I should get 10,000 energy by dawn."

"Adding yesterday's 3521..."

"This is too slow."

"Not to mention summoning a tank factory, even exchanging for a basic production line will take 10 days."

"Moreover, if there are too many power surges, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

"The best solution is to build a toy factory and use industrial electricity."

Xu Fei wasn't worried about others investigating the source of the equipment.

Because according to the confidentiality agreement, the basic production line can be separated from the core of the base, and it comes with import and export certificates provided by Strauss-Foreman Automobile Company, payment methods for goods, equipment names, models, weights, customs clearance documents, shipping notices, customs declaration materials, customs tax payment receipts...

The problem was.

He couldn't find this company in the computer room.

Similarly, he couldn't find the Iron Skin company either.

So the documents provided by "Strauss-Foreman Automobile Company" might be of the same nature as the labor contract he "created."

"This is troublesome."

Xu Fei fell into deep thought.

............

In the evening.

Half Blind Huang returned excitedly.

He took out a brand new wallet and took out all the money inside. "Manager, I didn't disappoint you. I sold all 2041 pieces that I took away at noon, but I came back too late, so I couldn't exchange it for a whole number."

Xu Fei casually took out four hundred yuan. "Here's yours."

"Ah, thank you, Manager Xu." Half Blind Huang returned the favor and took out a pack of Huaxia brand cigarettes. "Manager, I know you don't smoke, but when you communicate with your superiors, you can't be careless when it comes to cigarettes."

Xu Fei didn't refuse and threw the cigarettes on the small bed in the house.

Seeing this, Half Blind Huang's smile grew even wider.

This is what they call mutual favors.

You help me make money, and I show my gratitude to you. Only by giving and receiving can our relationship improve.

If he refused, Old Huang would feel uneasy, and one day he might even sell "Manager Xu" out of some wild thoughts.

Xu Fei didn't think too much about it because Old Xu was almost done with the cigarettes he bought yesterday.

And just giving four hundred yuan to Half Blind Huang made him feel a little distressed.

Now that he had a pack of cigarettes, he felt much more at ease.

Of course, he shouldn't be jealous since the other person had the ability to make money."Old Huang, there are 9800 tasks for tomorrow. If you complete them, I'll give you two thousand."

Half Blind Huang's face stiffened, but he didn't respond.

"What's wrong?"

"Manager Xu, tomorrow's market at Yellow Mud Hillock is just a small one. There won't be many people, and the surrounding towns don't have markets either. 9800 tasks, it's tough."

After saying this, Half Blind Huang sighed, "It's not that I'm not trying hard, but the goods are too monotonous. Today, many people were asking if we have iron rabbits, iron trains, and even if we have Ultraman. Manager, can we apply to the higher-level company for different styles?"

'If I had a higher-level company, I would have been doing big things by now.'

Xu Fei thought about the No.1 basic production line that could only produce  frogs, and felt quite disappointed.

At the same time, he was silently calculating.

Should he add another basic production line, or continue to sell  frogs until he accumulates 1 million energy to exchange for a tank factory?

Choosing the former, the power supply would still be a big problem, and it might even become more severe.

Choosing the latter, after dumping so many today, the market around Yellow Mud Hillock is gradually becoming saturated. Half Blind Huang needs to keep running outwards. The transportation is inconvenient, and he might even get robbed on the road.

Xu Fei thought for a moment, "You take a batch first, and you don't need to come over tomorrow morning. As for the rest, I'll think of a solution."

"Alright, two thousand pieces, I'll go to another town to discuss consignment."

Half an hour later.

Half Blind Huang straddled his motorbike and left again.

Xu Fei watched his retreating figure, feeling quite melancholic, "Even Half Blind, who is uneducated, is working hard to make money. Why should we be afraid to move forward?"

He decided on the spot to make another trip to the waste recycling station.

When he returned, he would burn an electricity meter.
