Chapter 814 Huangsha Town
Seeing Lin Mo preparing to enter the airport, Bi Yan immediately stepped forward to stop him and earnestly advised, "Boss, I think you should reconsider this car manufacturing project."
Lin Mo countered, "What are you considering?"
Bi Yan hesitated, then said, "Building cars... is not that simple. The automotive industry is very complex. Even though our Moyu Technology's portable air conditioner project has achieved great success, our strength is still somewhat too weak if we want to join the ranks of car manufacturers."
“You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. If the boss really wants to build cars, it’s not impossible, but the time can be postponed a little. At least we have to wait until our Moyu Technology has accumulated a certain amount of capital. What do you think?”
Listening to Bi Yan's long-winded explanation, Lin Mo nodded slightly, "I think you're right."
Upon hearing this, Bi Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, we managed to persuade the boss to stop.
But before he could be happy for long, Lin Mo spoke again, and his heart, which had just settled down, jumped into his throat once more.
"But Moyu Technology's second project is still car manufacturing, and that cannot be changed."
Bi Yan: "..."
No, who taught the boss to chat like that?
"Why?"
Bi Yan got anxious and kept analyzing the many difficulties in manufacturing cars.
Lin Mo didn't say anything, but took out his phone and stared at the time.
After about five or six minutes, Lin Mo suddenly spoke up, "Brother Bi, it's almost time to check tickets. You must be tired of talking, right? Okay, let's call it a day. We can continue talking about car manufacturing when I get back."
Bi Yan: "..."
have to.
The boss is determined to never turn back until he hits a brick wall!
"Ok."
He sighed helplessly, "Then we'll talk about it when you get back. Be careful out there."
Seeing Bi Yan's gloomy expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle. He patted Bi Yan's shoulder and said, "Brother Bi, don't look so down. You still don't understand me."
Bi Yan snorted, "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Mo smiled confidently, "Those who know me will know that I have a habit."
"What habit?"
"I never do things I'm not sure I can do. Building cars is difficult, but so what? What's the point of doing something that's not challenging?"
"..."
Bi Yan looked at Lin Mo with speechless disbelief. After a few seconds of silence, he smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, although I don't know where you get your confidence from, you are indeed a legendary boss. If you insist that the next project for Moyu Technology is to build cars, I can only go along with your madness this once."
"The awareness is good."
Lin Mo pursed his thin lips, then turned and left.
Bi Yan watched Lin Mo's retreating figure and said, "Times create legends, boss. I hope you've made the right decision."
……
The northwestern desert, located on the edge of the Xia Kingdom, has a yellow sand coverage rate of over 95%, extremely harsh climate conditions, and is uninhabited year-round.
One hundred and twenty kilometers from the border of Xia Kingdom, in a low-lying sand pit, more than a dozen large construction machines were parked. In the very center of the sand pit was a large hole several meters long. The dark hole was surrounded by metal plates several meters high to prevent it from collapsing.
There were more than twenty large tents a hundred meters away.
At the edge of this low-lying sand pit, there was still a metal plate several meters high used as a barrier, leaving only an entrance several meters wide on the north side. More than ten soldiers with live ammunition stood at the entrance, and there were even two rocket launcher platforms parked on the left side of the entrance.
Eight large characters were sprayed in red paint on the metal plate to the right of the entrance.
This is an archaeological site; entry is prohibited!
Meanwhile, in Huangsha Town, more than 200 miles away.
Lin Mo got off the last bus and, after two days of travel, finally arrived in Huangsha Town, the town closest to the archaeological site.
Fine sand drifted in the air, so Lin Mo put on a mask and walked straight down the main street after leaving the station.
He had done his homework before coming.
Although living conditions in Huangsha Town are extremely harsh, the town has a large population, with three to four thousand people living in this small town.
Of course, these people live in Huangsha Town not for a living, but for doing business.
Huangsha Town is located on the edge of the Xia Kingdom and is in the desert. Logically, there should be little business to be done. However, ancient tombs are frequently discovered in this desert in the northwest, so archaeological teams often appear here. At least three or four archaeological teams are excavating in this desert at the same time.
Therefore, Huangsha Town is the only option for major archaeological teams to replenish their resources.
As Lin Mo walked, he looked at the shops on both sides of the street. As expected, most of the shops here were related to archaeology, selling various excavation tools, water, portable food, and renting out large excavation equipment.
After walking for seven or eight minutes, Lin Mo stopped outside a dilapidated courtyard. The wall surrounding the courtyard was only about one meter high.
An adult can see the entire yard clearly at a glance.
Several off-road vehicles were parked in the courtyard. Compared to what most people would expect from off-road vehicles, these vehicles were quite oddly shaped.
Although they look different, these off-road vehicles have one thing in common: they only have two seats, the rear cargo area has been converted into a fuel tank and a water tank, and the four tires have been modified to be very large, making them look very out of place at first glance.
Lin Mo stepped into the courtyard. "Is anyone home?"
Before long, a burly man walked out of the earthen house. Looking at Lin Mo, who was wearing a mask, he seemed a little impatient because Lin Mo looked too young, which made him speak in a very aggressive tone.
"Hey kid, what's up?"
Lin Mo didn't mind, and pointed to the SUV in the yard with his right hand, "Isn't this a car rental business?"
The burly man was taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on his rough face. "You want to rent a car?"
"Correct."
Seeing Lin Mo nod in agreement, the burly man's surprise deepened. He looked Lin Mo up and down, and his tone softened considerably. "Young man, I can tell you're not very old. Let me warn you, this desert can be deadly. If you don't go with a professional archaeological team, it's extremely dangerous to venture into the desert alone."
Lin Mo didn't explain much, and said with a smile, "Thank you, but I still want to rent a car."
The big man had no reason not to take the business that was offered to him, so he nodded and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Lin Mo walked into the earthen house. Compared to the dilapidated exterior, the interior was quite bright, with clean floors and a modern decor, giving it a unique and secluded feel.
The burly man placed a glass of water in front of Lin Mo. "Here, have a drink of water first."
Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony. He took off his mask, picked up the teacup, and gulped down the tea.
The burly man looked at Lin Mo's outstanding appearance, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before he quickly regained his composure.
Due to the harsh climate and lack of internet signal, communication here relies solely on satellite phones. So, despite Lin Mo's immense fame, it's quite difficult to find someone here who knows him.
The burly man took out a booklet and handed it to Lin Mo. "I have six cars here, each with its own advantages, and of course, the prices are different. They are all marked on the booklet. You can choose one yourself."
Lin Mo flipped through the booklet, his gaze quickly landing on the last car, his expression one of utter astonishment. "A range of 10,000 kilometers?"
The burly man laughed heartily, "This must be your first time in Huangsha Town, right?"
Lin Mo didn't hide anything and nodded in admission: "That's right, it is indeed my first time here."
The big man enthusiastically explained, "Here, the car only focuses on its range and power; nothing else matters. As you just saw, the car has been completely modified, and the fuel tank capacity far exceeds your understanding of cars."
Lin Mo suddenly realized, "Okay, that's it."
The burly man perked up and said with a smile, "The rental fee for this car is five thousand yuan a day, including oil, drinking water, and food. Is that price acceptable?"
Hearing the price, Lin Mo clicked his tongue in surprise, but considering the special nature of Huangsha Town, it wasn't unacceptable. "Okay."
"Hey buddy, how many days are you planning to rent it for?"
In just a short while, the big man had changed his address for Lin Mo three times: first "kid," then "young man," and finally "brother."
"Ten days."
The big man nodded, "Okay, the rent is 50,000 yuan in total."
As he spoke, he rummaged in his pocket with his right hand, took out a key, and placed it in front of Lin Mo. "After you pay, I'll go fill up the gas tank, get some water, and check the car."
Lin Mo glanced at the car keys and was immediately surprised, "No deposit required?"
"deposit?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The burly man laughed loudly, "Young man, there are four or five car rental businesses around here, and none of them have ever asked for a deposit. If anyone dares to ask for a deposit when renting a car, they will be ridiculed by their peers."
Lin Mo looked curious. "Why? Is there some explanation?"
Chapter 815 Arrival at the Archaeological Site
"There is only one bus to Huangsha Town. The nearest town is Liyang Town, but it is a thousand miles away."
Faced with Lin Mo's curiosity, the big man didn't hide anything, "The road from Huangshan Town to Liyang Town is eroded by yellow sand all day long, and the road signs and such have been completely destroyed. If it weren't for years of traveling back and forth, we would get lost in the desert before we even got halfway there."
"In short, you can't drive this car out, so there's no need to collect a deposit."
Upon hearing the burly man's explanation, Lin Mo chuckled softly, "I see."
He took off his backpack and pulled out five stacks of brand-new banknotes. "Count them."
The burly man didn't stand on ceremony and immediately brought out a money counter. After checking the money, he nodded in satisfaction, "Young man, please sit for a while, I'll go get your car ready."
"it is good."
More than an hour later, the burly man stood at the door, watching the SUV leave behind crooked tire tracks. His lips twitched, and he muttered under his breath, "How come he can't even drive in a straight line? Could this guy not have a driver's license?"
In fact, Lin Mo did not have a driver's license.
When he first arrived in Xiabei, he was planning to get a driver's license, but after Xu Huang became his personal driver, he gave up on the idea.
Moreover, no driver's license is required to drive in this desert.
Furthermore, this rented SUV had undergone special modifications and was very easy to handle.
After familiarizing himself with the vehicle for about ten minutes, Lin Mo began to drive skillfully. He took out the map he had obtained from the Elders' Pavilion, floored the accelerator, and headed straight for the excavation site.
Driving an off-road vehicle at high speed through the swirling yellow sand was an exciting experience for Lin Mo.
"Oh hoo..."
