Crossing through time 04, I blew up the American aircraft carrier.

Laiyang Steel Plant, conference room.

"Sigh, what were we thinking back then? We actually fired Zhao Ergang, such a talented person! If he were still in our factory, we'd have no shortage of foreign trade business!"

"Yes, he's a real money magnet, but unfortunately, he wouldn't come even if you offered him a deputy section chief position!"

"Hmph, that's a bit ungrateful! Even a deputy section chief can't satisfy his appetite, does he want to be the deputy factory director?"

"It seems that's the only way. I'll go there myself." Director Guo stood up.

What?

Everyone was shocked. Were they really going to make Zhao Ergang, a worker who had been fired from the factory, the factory manager?

but……

They're having a tough time too!

After successfully completing their first foreign trade deal, they excitedly reported to their superiors. However, after receiving praise, their superiors assigned them a new task: to achieve an export volume of $500,000 this year!

Isn't this making things difficult for people?

Do you think exporting is that easy?

Deng Deng Deng!

Boom!

Just then, the door was pushed open.

"Factory manager, factory manager, Zhao Ergang is here!"

"Quick, invite him in! Old Liu, what are you standing there for? Go down and greet him! Old Wang, hurry up and make some coffee. Where's the soft-pack Zhonghua cigarettes? Anyone have some? Get them out now!"

Inside the meeting room.

"Come on, Ergang, sit here!"

"Here, have some coffee!"

"Have a smoke? I'll light one for you!"

Zhao Ergang crossed his legs with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad! This treatment…

"Ergang, has the first batch of goods arrived? Are the customers satisfied?"

"It's alright, but you guys still need to keep working hard."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely strive to improve product quality and address future customer orders..."

"The customer has placed a new order. See if you can handle it. If not, I'll look for other factories..."

"Yes, yes."

Factory Director Guo bowed and scraped as he accepted the purchase list, and his eyes widened at the first glance.

GB/T 3091-93 standard, DN50 steel pipe, five containers!

A standard shipping container can hold 26 tons of goods. This year's market is good, with steel prices soaring to 4,000 RMB per ton, which is equivalent to 800 USD. One container is worth 20,000 USD, and five containers would be worth 100,000 USD!

Looking at the second line, DN100 steel pipes, five containers, another $100,000!

The third row contains DN400 steel pipes and five shipping containers.

Fourth row, gas cylinders, ten containers.

……

It's out! It's out!

"Old Liu, quick, calculate how much this batch of goods costs! Give Ergang the lowest price from our factory!"

Looking at the order, Section Chief Liu was so moved he almost cried. He quickly started calculating, and after a flurry of calculator sounds, he was overwhelmed.

"Comrade Zhao Ergang, we'll quote you $500,000 for this order!"

Just as I expected, the Egyptian Pharaoh was kind enough to leave me half of the profits!

Wait, that doesn't even include shipping!

Zhao Ergang frowned and said, "So expensive? Forget it, I'll find another factory!"

"Four hundred and fifty thousand, forty-five hundred thousand US dollars, Comrade Ergang, rest assured, the quality of our factory's products is absolutely top-notch, and the price is the lowest!"

"Hmm, that's more like it! You guys get ready quickly, ship it within a week!"

"this……"

"No problem!" Factory Director Guo chimed in, "Even if our factory works day and night to meet the production target, we will complete it as soon as possible!"

Although it didn't reach the $500,000 requirement set by the higher-ups, it was almost there!

"Old Wang, what are you standing there for? Go check how much is in the warehouse and load it all into containers! Get the rest into production as soon as possible! Old Liu, call the Longmen Hotel and order lunch. We're treating Comrade Zhao Ergang to lunch today!"

"Yes, yes."

This is the God of Wealth!

This drinking session lasted from noon until the afternoon!

Zhao Ergang returned to the internet cafe reeking of alcohol.

That's right, it's an internet cafe; this is his real home!

But... will I be able to buy a computer with the money I earn this time?

No, playing at home just doesn't have the right atmosphere!

Staggering into the internet cafe, Zhao Ergang slapped a hundred-yuan bill down the manager's lap.

"Get me a machine on the second floor!"

"Ergang, Ergang!" Zhang Hongguang, my best friend, rushed over from a machine on the first floor: "There's something I need to tell you..."

"Network administrator, return his computer and get me another one on the second floor!"

"OK!"

On the second floor, Zhang Hongguang watched the computer boot up quickly. "A Pentium 4 computer is really powerful," he thought, "but..."

He started typing away on the keyboard.

"Come on, Ergang, look at this!"

Zhao Er glanced at the picture on his computer screen. This was... a gas cylinder? Why was a pipe welded to it and stuffed into an even bigger pipe?

"Ergang, all your goods are being smuggled into Yemen, right? I checked, and they've spotted a gas cylinder cannon there, its power is insane..."

Zhao Ergang rolled his eyes at him: "So what? Hongguang, I'm selling gas cylinders. How the users modify them is none of my business! Even if I end up in jail, I'll be perfectly justified! By the way, the next batch is even bigger, and I can't handle it all by myself. You'll have to work with me from now on, and we brothers can make a fortune together!"

"Oh? Okay!"

Zhang Hongguang immediately became excited, throwing all his troubles to the back of his mind. These days, people laugh at poverty but not prostitution...

Zhao Ergang started operating his computer.

First, I'll go on QQ and report the procurement progress to the Egyptian Pharaoh...

"Ergang, Ergang!"

"What's wrong now?"

"Ergang, Ergang, watch the door!"

Hearing the slightly nervous voice, Zhao Ergang turned his head to look at the door.

Two big hats!

Looking again at the gas cylinder cannon on the screen next to him, Zhao Ergang's heart suddenly started pounding violently.

Are they really going to arrest me?

You can't see me, you can't see me...

"Are you Comrade Zhao Ergang?"

"Yes."

"Please come with us."

Swish!

Zhao Ergang's face turned deathly pale.

Watching Zhao Ergang being taken away, Zhang Hongguang tried hard to control his trembling body. No, he had to think of something quickly!

Yes, go find Zhao Ergang's parents!

beep, beep...

He ran away quickly.

Police station.

"Officer, I, Zhao Ergang, am a law-abiding citizen! What have I done wrong?"

"Zhao Ergang, there are unusual fund flows in your bank account. Last time it was six thousand US dollars, and this time it's one million US dollars! We hope you can explain this."

What?

Just for this?

I thought you were going to arrest me, this arms dealer! Just for that?

The influx of millions of dollars into personal accounts is bound to attract the attention of relevant authorities!

and many more!

Egyptian Pharaoh, you son of a bitch... you actually deposited millions of dollars into my personal account all at once? Aren't you afraid I won't deliver the goods after receiving the money?

Countless alpacas floated across Zhao Ergang's head.

"Officer, this is a misunderstanding. I'm in the international trade business, and I make all the money honestly..."

The two veteran police officers exchanged glances, wondering if this man was doing something illegal, but it turned out to be a legitimate business.

"You can check with Laiyang Steel Plant; I just placed my second order..."

"You mean, the overseas client paid you the full amount upfront?"

"That's right! We have a long-term cooperative relationship..."

A dozen minutes later.

"Comrade Zhao Ergang, the investigation has been completed. Thank you for your contribution to the country's exports. In the future, you still need to be careful and guard against foreign scams, especially when the customers are Indians..."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, officer."

Zhao Ergang finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he went outside, he saw his father, mother, and leaders from Laiyang Steel Plant.

"Comrade Zhao Ergang, why don't you come work for our factory? We'll reserve the deputy factory director position for you; it'll make things easier for you in the future!"

Seeing the enthusiastic look in Director Guo's eyes, Zhao Ergang shook his head: "No, I want to register a company called... Middle East Import and Export Trading Company."
