The next day.
Evening.
Kowloon City Pier.
The lights were dim.
A small cargo ship slowly left the shore and headed towards Pengcheng.
Inside the cargo hold, there were "scrap appliances" worth two million yuan, mainly televisions and refrigerators, but they were all well-packaged. Even Chen Luojun didn't know what was inside.
To be safe, Lu Yan didn't renovate the scrap appliances on the ship for now. He could renovate them later in Pengcheng. It was just a matter of seconds for the system anyway.
Even if they were seized, the loss wouldn't be that great.
Lu Yan and Chen Luojun stood at the bow, looking towards the direction of Pengcheng.
Before his time travel, Lu Yan had been to Pengcheng, but back then, Pengcheng had already taken off.
He never thought he would have the opportunity to witness this part of Pengcheng's history.
Chen Luojun stood quietly behind Lu Yan. He never expected to have to go back to mainland China so soon after escaping to Hong Kong.
"Take this."
Lu Yan took out a black pistol from his waist and handed it to Chen Luojun.
"This..."
Chen Luojun was startled, but he didn't refuse. He took the black pistol with both hands, his hands trembling slightly.
He didn't expect that they might need a pistol on this trip to Pengcheng.
"Just in case."
Lu Yan explained, "It's better to be safe than sorry."
Chen Luojun nodded.
In this era, the Panda hadn't banned guns completely yet.
You have to understand that some village disputes were comparable to wars between small countries.
Soon, Chen Luojun put away the pistol.
Because they had contacted the Hong Kong Water Police and understood their patrol times and routes, they had to be prepared. The cargo ship quickly reached a small fishing village in Pengcheng and docked.
Many people immediately came forward to help unload the goods and then load them onto trucks.
These people were all contacted by Sizai.
Everything went smoothly.
As dawn approached, Lu Yan and Chen Luojun, along with several security guards who had come out of Kowloon Walled City, got into a car, followed by two large trucks, and headed towards the center of Pengcheng City.
This was the time when people were most sleepy.
Lu Yan, Chen Luojun, and the others were all on high alert.
This area was quite special, with frequent shipments from Hong Kong. It wasn't unusual for bandits and highwaymen to rob trucks.
If they only wanted to collect some toll, Lu Yan could tolerate it. After all, time was money.
If it resulted in murder, it would be quite troublesome, even if he shot the bandits and highwaymen in self-defense.
However.
What you fear the most will come to pass.
Suddenly, the car stopped.
The two trucks behind also stopped.
"Brother Yan, there's someone up ahead."
Chen Luojun said vigilantly.
Four rather strong men emerged from about ten meters in front of the car.
"There are more behind."
Lu Yan said coldly.
He didn't like to provoke others, but that didn't mean others could provoke him.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out.
"Be careful, Brother Yan!"
Chen Luojun immediately crouched down.
However.
Lu Yan had already pushed open the car door, rolled over, and hid in the grass beside the road.
"Bang bang!"
Two gunshots rang out.
Two of the four men blocking the road fell to the ground.
"Bang bang bang..."
Another series of gunshots rang out.
"If we're going to die, we're going to die!"
Chen Luojun saw that Lu Yan had charged forward, so he got out of the car from the other side, but his target wasn't the men in front, but the six men who had emerged from behind.
There were a total of ten bandits and highwaymen. Three of them had homemade rifles, and one had a homemade shotgun.
"Bang bang bang!"
Lu Yan quickly walked back and fired three shots in succession. Three men fell to the ground.
This scene completely terrified the bandits and highwaymen.
They had seen a ghost!
They had met a fierce character!
This marksmanship was not something ordinary people could achieve.
You have to understand that before his time travel, Lu Yan was indeed a repairman, but his marksmanship was terrifying, comparable to a special forces sharpshooter. It was just because of his physical condition that he couldn't become a combat special forces soldier.
Soon, the remaining bandits and highwaymen quickly scattered.
No one was unafraid of death.
These people were just bullies who were afraid of the strong.
However.
Lu Yan didn't intend to let them go.
Another series of gunshots rang out.
Ultimately.
All ten bandits and highwaymen were shot dead. Lu Yan even changed the magazine and fired a few more shots to make sure they were dead.
"Brother Yan?!"
Chen Luojun came to Lu Yan again. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
The truck drivers were also dumbfounded.
They had prepared to fight to the death, but before they could make a move, all the bandits were dead.
"Let's go."
Lu Yan shouted and got back into the car.
Chen Luojun immediately followed suit.
The car and the two trucks moved forward again, leaving behind a trail of corpses.
"Brother Yan, your marksmanship is amazing!"
Chen Luojun looked a little unsatisfied. After all, he had missed the scene of Lu Yan shooting the bandits.
"Just keep practicing."
Lu Yan said.
Next.
All went smoothly.
Lu Yan and the others arrived at a relatively secluded warehouse and unloaded all the appliances that Lu Yan had renovated using Renovation Cards from the trucks.
After inspecting the goods, the boss was very satisfied with this batch of second-hand renovated appliances.
Although they were only 80% new, in the eyes of this shrewd boss, even if they were labeled as brand new, not many people would question it.
Ultimately.
Lu Yan earned a total of two million three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, all in cash. It filled two suitcases.
"Happy cooperation!"
Lu Yan shook hands with the young boss.
"Happy cooperation!"
The young boss said with a smile, "If you have more in the future, you must prioritize me."
"Definitely, definitely!"
Lu Yan laughed.
Soon.
Lu Yan left with Chen Luojun and the others.
After deducting the transportation costs and the cost of recycling the scrap appliances, this trip still netted them two million Hong Kong dollars.
The profit margin exceeded 1000%.
As for the Renovation Cards, Lu Yan had only used 19.
After all, this was the system's calculation of the cost of recycling scrap appliances. Only 19 Renovation Cards were used to renovate everything to 80% new.
One Renovation Card could renovate not just one item, but a whole bunch, as long as the total value didn't exceed ten thousand yuan.
This total value was assessed by the system and had nothing to do with Lu Yan. He couldn't intervene.
Lu Yan carefully calculated. Even if he earned 2 million yuan with 20 Renovation Cards, then once he used up the remaining 4000+ Renovation Cards, he would earn at least 400 million.
That would be his starting capital, but it would still take half a year.
He couldn't ship too much at once, lest he arouse the suspicions of those who had ill intentions.
He would increase the shipment volume once the market here opened up.
In fact.
For Lu Yan, money was secondary.
After renovating and selling the scrap appliances, he could increase the progress bar of the Challenge Task.
Lu Yan subconsciously glanced at the progress bar for repairing electrical appliances. It had already exceeded 70% and reached 71.8921%.
It had increased by 3% in a month, which Lu Yan could accept.
As the shipment volume increased, the progress bar would grow faster.
"Half a year should be enough..."
Lu Yan thought for a moment. It was time to move on to the next stage of his plan—
Become a real appliance manufacturer!
Renovation ultimately depended on Renovation Cards. They would run out one day.
Only by producing his own products could he achieve sustainable development.
