Star Tycoon

Chapter 29 Demolition
Early in the morning, when Tian Ersan went out to buy breakfast, he saw a group of people gathered together.

Tian Ersan always avoided the bustling activities in the small county town, where various gambling and scams were common.

If you get too close, people will try to sell you things, and you might easily get into trouble.

While buying food, Tian Ersan casually chatted with the cashier.

What happened over there?

The shop owner knew this regular customer who lived nearby very well, and said irritably, "Someone died. I don't know who beat him to death."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ersan became even more curious, "Do people die here often?"

The boss smiled and said, "There are always people setting up sheds every year. There's no place where people don't die. Be careful of those unclean people. Stay away from them."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "I've seen them several times. There aren't any bars, dance halls, or nightclubs around here, so why do they keep coming this way?"

The boss had a good impression of Tian Ersan, and since the people nearby weren't in a hurry, he answered the question while preparing the pan-fried buns.

"I heard that there's going to be demolition. They'll demolish the area on the west side of the road first, then the area on the east side."

Tian Ersan lived on the east side of the road, while Zhang Shuya lived on the west side.

Zhou Fa's auto repair shop also belongs to Lu Xi.

In addition to a large area of ​​old buildings, Luxi extends to several good roads within the county.

The area east and north of the road is considered the suburbs.

Tian Ersan bought breakfast for four people and went home. On the way, he heard a woman crying.

If someone dies, will calling the police be of any use?

Tian Ersan hoped it would be useful, hoped that the deceased could be exonerated, and hoped that the murderer could be brought to justice.

But I feel the chances are slim.

I've been reading local news and newspapers a lot lately, and neither the previous two times nor this time have they reported on it.

It would be better if the era of smartphones arrived sooner rather than later.

Tian Ersan told me about what had just happened while he was eating.

"I saw a dead body when I was buying food. I heard from the business owners nearby that he was probably beaten to death by a group of bad guys. The area across the street is going to be demolished, so there will probably be some people around there in the meantime. Don't go out unless you have to."

Zhou Shanshan, Wang Linlin, and Zhang Shuya were all frightened.

Zhou Shanshan quickly said, "People die, so what? Every year, several people die at our school. Some die in fights, some drown, some commit suicide, some are robbed and killed while wandering around at night, and some are beaten to death by their families."

For people in small towns, some things are just too uneventful.

Tian Ersan sighed, "Once I make some money, I'll go to a big city to develop my career. There's no sense of security at all in this crappy place. What are your plans?"

Wang Linlin quickly replied, "I'll follow the boss!"

Zhang Shuya also said nervously, "Me too, boss. Wherever you go, just take us with you."

"I'm going out to develop my career." Tian Ersan sighed helplessly. "Fine, it won't cost much to support you guys anyway."

Wang Linlin and Zhang Shuya both breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing relieved and happy smiles.

Zhou Shanshan chimed in, "I'll work for the boss too, two thousand a month is fine with me, I'll do anything!"

Tian Ersan looked at the flamboyant young girl and said with a smile, "Don't cause trouble while we're eating. Eat quickly. I'll go down across the street and ask around, and then we'll buy another car."

Everyone quickly resumed eating with smiles. The death didn't affect them much, since it wasn't a family member who had died.

When they opened for business in the morning, Su Mingjian and his men came over to load and ship goods.

The foam factory's delivery trucks came to unload, and the cannery and the wholesale sunflower seed factory also unloaded together.

Zhou Shanshan couldn't handle it all by herself, so Tian Ersan helped her receive the goods, which finally got the suppliers who came at the same time to agree to the deal.

The cannery has special plastic shelves for delivery, which are put back after each delivery.

The foam factory delivered foam boxes in truckloads, securing them slightly with tape, and then carrying them in bundles of about two meters into an empty room.

Tian Ersan was busy until after 10 o'clock before he finally had time to go to the other side of the road.

"Brother Zhou, do you have any good tricycles? The powerful kind."

Tian Ersan greeted Zhou Fa with a smile.

Seeing that business was picking up, Zhou Fa stood up and smiled. Lately, Zhou Fa hadn't gone across the street to buy beer or cola.

Seeing the small shop, which used to be quiet, suddenly become very busy and bustling every day, I don't know why I don't want to go shopping anymore.

Even if Zhou Fa doesn't go to buy anything, the business across the street is never bad.

On the contrary, Zhou Fa's business has not been doing well.

"Yes, I have a new one here. It just arrived recently. You can try riding it."

Tian Ersan quickly test-drove the car, but did not choose that car; instead, he was looking for a suitable one.

I bought the car for self-defense, so I wanted something powerful that could provide firepower quickly!
The front of the car needs to be large enough to maintain distance from the weapon being carried by the person when it hits them; it also needs to be powerful enough to not be unable to move if stopped.

Since we know that the other party is a criminal who dares to kill, we cannot have any mercy or wishful thinking.

Tian Ersan quickly chose a large red electric tricycle.

"This one, how much?"

"Okay! Give me six thousand, I sell it to others for six thousand five."

Tian Ersan said generously, "Okay, Brother Zhou definitely won't cheat me. I'll give you my Alipay."

Tian Ersan didn't like haggling, and besides, Zhou Fa had patronized the convenience store quite a bit at first, so buying two cars now was a way of repaying him.

Zhou Fa was very happy, this time he had booked enough for four or five days. "I'll provide you with a lock and a charger!"

Tian Ersan said, "I estimate that we will be carrying heavy goods. Can you adjust the vehicle to make it more powerful?"

"Okay! I'll give it a try!" Zhou Fa had made a lot of money, and now he would agree to any request.

Tian Ersan quickly and quietly finalized the backup plan.

"I heard when I bought food today that your shop is going to be demolished soon. What will happen to your shop?"

While looking for tools, Zhou Fa casually said, "What can we do? Go to the county and find another shop, or if that doesn't work, go to Ludongli."

Tian Ersan said, "What I heard is that they'll demolish Luxili first, then Ludongli. You'll have to move again after you move there."

Zhou Fa sighed.

"What can we do? Let's go to the county and look for another place. Business is tough these days."

Seeing that there was no information here, Tian Ersan quickly went to chat with Chen Ding, who repaired cars.

The Chen family and Tian Ersan did not have much contact; this was Tian Ersan's first time visiting.

"They won't be able to demolish our place," Chen Ding said with a laugh. "The shops on the side of the road aren't so easy to demolish. This house is mine, and they're only offering a little over a thousand. I'll tear them down!"

Tian Ersan said, "Today when I was eating, someone was beaten to death on the street. It was said to be related to a demolition dispute."

Chen Ding quickly frowned, and his wife's expression also turned sour.

Tian Ersan said, "Look, there are women in several houses along this road. Boss Chen, me, Brother Zhou, and a few others live here. If something happens tonight, we'll all help each other out."

Chen Ding thought it was a good idea, "Great! I'll definitely help!"

Although Tian Ersan was young, many people went there to work every day, including many middle-aged men who were supporting their families.

Chen Ding's two apprentices, along with the car mechanic, all have some physical strength, so even if they encounter thugs causing trouble, they can fight them off.

Thugs and hooligans may bully vendors and ordinary citizens, but they rarely go to the countryside to provoke villagers or factory workers.

Tian Ersan considered setting up a food delivery rider department in a small county town to provide jobs for riders. However, at that time, satellite positioning and smartphones were not yet widespread, and data could not be kept on all the time, which meant that food delivery only existed in first- and second-tier cities, leaving small counties as a blank area.

The real explosion of growth will only occur when data speeds increase and prices decrease, once we enter the 4G era.

Hiring employees can protect you, and becoming an entrepreneur can also improve your safety level.

However, with the help of the car and the people nearby, things are almost done.

I mainly want to wait until I get 100,000 yuan next month and see what this system is all about.

If it works, then there's nothing to fear.

If that doesn't work, then quickly take your people to a big city.
