Xu Sanqiang and the others’ eyes lit up immediately and asked in unison. 

“How much does one machine tool cost?” 

“The price range I’m giving you is between 55,000 to 58,000. You can calculate it yourself!” Gu Ye said with a smile.

The group immediately began calculating in their heads. 

Bao Fushan, being the quickest with mental math, spoke clearly:

“Five percent of 55,000 is 2,750. For 58,000, it’s 2,900. If we manage to sell ten machines…”

“That’s 29,000! We’re rich!”

Xu Sanqiang jumped up, thrilled. 

After a year of backbreaking work in the fields, he would barely have 100 yuan left in his pocket. 

The big city truly held opportunities, as long as you were willing to work hard, there was gold to be found on the ground. 

But Gu Ye quickly poured cold water on their excitement.

“Don’t think it’ll be that easy. If machine tools were so easy to sell, I wouldn’t have needed to call you guys here. This is a tough nut to crack. Xingda Machine Tool Factory hasn’t sold a single machine in five years. These past days I have been out promoting them, getting nothing but cold shoulders and disdainful looks, it’s not easy to accept that kind of treatment.” 

“There’s no such thing as free money falling from the sky.” Han Shizhong said in his usual slow and steady tone.

“Convincing someone to spend tens of thousands is never easy. But as the saying goes, if you’ve got enough patience, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. Even if you only sell one machine tool in six months, it’s still better than farming the land.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was exactly right.

They weren’t afraid of hard work, they were only afraid of having no future. 

Now that Gu Ye had pointed them down a bright path, even if that road was full of thorns, it was still better than struggling on barren land. 

Gu Ye smiled and said, “That’s exactly how I see it too. Our Xingda machine tools might be a little outdated, but the quality is unquestionable. We were once used to be industry leaders. You’ll see for yourselves when you start the training.”

“If the product is good, it’ll sell eventually. No need to rush.”

Han Shizhong might not speak much, but his words always hit the mark. 

He was like a pillar of stability, his presence kept the group’s morale strong.

Meanwhile, outside in the corridor, Chu Qiao was busy with dinner preparations when Gu Ye came out. 

He was heading to find the factory director to ask for housing for his brothers. Although he had two vacant properties himself, they were too far from the machine tool factory, making it inconvenient to go to work. 

“Don’t forget to pick up Dabao and Xiaobao later!” Chu Qiao reminded him.

“Got it!”

Gu Ye responded and left with long strides. 

He was the kind of man who liked to get things done efficiently, what needed doing today, must be done today. 

Since he’d brought his brothers from their hometown, it was his duty to settle them properly.

The factory director had been troubled by Gu Ye for days and had a splitting headache from it. 

Seeing Gu Ye again, he instinctively wanted to hide, but Gu Ye was quick and grabbed him, and directly talked about the housing.

“There’s no housing left, even many of our regular workers are still renting outside. Your friends are just temporary workers, Gu Ye, don’t push your luck.”

The factory director’s headache worsened. Gu Ye was nothing short of a bandit. 

He deeply regretted that drunken night when he’d agreed to Gu Ye’s outrageous demands, leaving him now stuck between a rock and a hard place. 

As for the secretary, that sly old fox was nowhere to be found, leaving Gu Ye to pester him every day. 

Gu Ye chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of a solution. Scholar Yang is just one person living in that oversized apartment, what a waste. Just divide it in half, my four brothers can share one side, and he keeps the other. Problem solved, right?”

“You think he will agree to that?” 

The factory director was doubtful. Scholar Yang was known throughout the factory for being the most petty.

“As long as you give the approval, I’ll take care of him, he definitely won’t object.” Gu Ye patted his chest confidently.

The factory director rubbed his temples and impatiently waved him off. 

“Fine, fine! Just figure it out yourselves!”

As long as he didn’t have to personally arrange separate housing, he didn’t care who lived with whom.
