Chapter 4: In just two months, Gu Qingzhou sold 1 million US dollars?
In the lecture hall.
It's now full of students.
This is a general education course.
So there were about two hundred students attending the class.
The lecture hall was packed to the brim.
Gu Qingzhou, Shen Yao, and Shen Zheng sat in the corner of the last row.
The classroom was buzzing with excitement as everyone chatted about their summer vacation adventures, and no one noticed the strange behavior of the three people in the back row.
Gu Qingzhou glanced sideways at Shen Yao and Shen Zheng beside her, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
"What can I say about you?" Gu Qingzhou said in a low voice, gritting her teeth, "You say everything that comes to mind, and you always try to outsmart me. I never knew you were so honest."
"If they ask you what part-time jobs you did, can't you just give them a vague answer?"
"What are you talking about, playing video games and paintball? You really want to go in and be roommates with Brother Qian, and work on a sewing machine, don't you?"
Shen Yao pushed up her thick black-rimmed glasses, pouted unconvinced, and said, "I didn't say anything wrong. I've been playing video games every day this holiday."
Gu Qingzhou rolled her eyes at her speechlessly. "You call piloting drones on long-distance raids to bomb enemy airfields and personnel playing video games?"
"Not playing video games?" Shen Yao retorted confidently. "Sitting in front of the screen, holding the remote control, looking at the target on the screen, pressing the button, and it explodes."
"What else is this but playing video games?"
"Is that the same thing?" Gu Qingzhou almost shouted out, "When you play games, you're taking down other people's virtual health bars, but your 'electric' device is taking down real lives and tens of millions of dollars worth of military equipment!"
Shen Yao shrank back and muttered softly, "Anyway, the principles and operating procedures are pretty much the same..."
Gu Qingzhou took a deep breath.
Hopeless.
This girl is completely beyond saving.
He turned to look at Shen Zheng on the other side.
Shen Zheng sat upright, staring straight ahead, trying to disguise himself as a statue.
"And you!" Gu Qingzhou poked his arm. "What did you just say? Live-action CS?"
Shen Zheng's face flushed red, and he stammered, "It was originally... live-action CS."
Gu Qingzhou was even more speechless. She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, saying, "Big brother, you must remember that you are the logistics support personnel sent by Party B to Party A."
"So you just trained a group of employees for Party A according to the agreement, only the training content was a little different from what is done in China."
"But in the Middle East, tactical coordination, squad warfare, CQB, and even the three-on-three system are commonplace training content."
"As for live-action CS, it was because our warehouse was invaded by unidentified armed men, and you were just leading your employees in self-defense. Can that be called live-action CS? It was self-defense."
Shen Zheng fell silent, his face turning bright red.
Shen Yao chimed in quietly, "But didn't you say it yourself at the beginning? Flying gas cylinders, fire-breathing steel pipes—you went even further than we did."
Gu Qingzhou.....
It seems that I did say it first.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Now is not the time to complain.
We need to explain things clearly to these two rascals to avoid any future mishaps.
"Alright, I'll give you a proper rundown of what we did this summer, so you won't make things up next time." Gu Qingzhou lowered her voice and spoke quickly.
Shen Yao and Shen Zheng both perked up their ears.
"First of all, why are we going to the Middle East?" Gu Qingzhou's voice was very low, only the three people could hear it. "We are going to the Middle East to expand our business and provide logistical support. Our identities are interns at a machinery factory."
Gu Qingzhou is not from this world.
over a year ago.
He was transported to this parallel world by accident.
This world called Blue Star is 95% similar to Earth, but it's much more chaotic.
After arriving in this world, Gu Qingzhou discovered that she had become the second-generation heir of a factory.
Although the factory is not big.
However, it was enough to ensure he would be well-off for the rest of his life.
So Gu Qingzhou planned to enjoy life and go home to inherit the family fortune after graduating from university.
However, after the last semester's break...
He took his two children, Shen Zheng and Shen Yao, to work at his family's factory.
When he got home, he was shocked to find that the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy.
We can't even pay our workers' wages, and suppliers are coming to our door every day demanding payment.
My parents have reportedly gone overseas to expand their business, leaving my cousin Cheng Yihan to struggle on her own; she's lost a lot of weight.
no way.
Gu Qingzhou, Shen Zheng, and Shen Yao discussed that instead of waiting to die in the country, they should go out and try their luck.
It just so happened that the Middle East urgently needed suppliers who could provide large quantities of special steel and products, and my cousin made contact through previous connections.
Gu Qingzhou then led the siblings Shen Zheng and Shen Yao to form a logistics support team for Party B and went to the Middle East.
At the beginning.
They really just sell steel pipes.
Ordinary steel pipes, the kind used in construction.
However, one day the client suddenly asked if their steel pipes could be modified, for example, if the inner diameter of the steel pipe is 7.62mm, or if a few lines could be added inside the steel pipe.
Gu Qingzhou and Shen Yao hadn't reacted yet.
Shen Zheng already knew what the other party was going to do.
They didn't want steel pipes; they clearly wanted gun barrels.
Shen Zheng is four years older than Gu Qingzhou and Shen Yao.
He and Shen Yao are siblings.
Four years ago, after being admitted to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, I joined the army during my freshman year.
Four years later, after being discharged from the military, he returned to school and started his studies again from his sophomore year.
He happened to be in the same class as Gu Qingzhou and Shen Yao, and even more coincidentally, he was in the same dormitory as Gu Qingzhou.
So the three of them had a very good relationship during their sophomore year, and were almost inseparable.
After learning of the client's intentions, Gu Qingzhou refused outright.
We can't add more; that's for military factories.
As a result, the client said they would pay ten dollars for adding one line.
Gu Qingzhou was instantly captivated.
One line costs ten dollars, so four lines would cost forty dollars.
Selling a single pipe for forty dollars, that's a good business opportunity!
Since the factory is about to go bankrupt anyway, we might as well try anything.
He immediately contacted Cheng Yihan in China to urgently set up a production line specifically for producing steel pipes with an inner diameter of 7.62mm and rifling inside.
The first batch consisted of 10,000 steel pipes sent to the Middle East.
Four hundred thousand US dollars.
Having sold the rifling steel pipes, Gu Qingzhou had no more reservations.
So he used a gas cylinder to make a mortar shell by hand.
In Middle Eastern countries, the poor are dying of poverty, and the rich are dying of wealth.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE, these wealthy countries, wield weapons from all over the world, while the major rogue states on Earth take turns serving them.
But Yemen, Palestine, and Somalia across the Red Sea are so poor they're practically starving.
Since we couldn't afford regular artillery shells, mortar shells made from gas cylinders were just the right choice.
Gu Qingzhou added a tail fin and a simple guidance device to the gas cylinder.
Although the accuracy was a bit off.
But it's incredibly powerful.
A single gas cylinder shell can destroy a building.
Therefore, Gu Qingzhou's "invention" immediately received a large number of orders upon its launch.
As for simplified versions of sniper grenade launchers, homemade rockets, miniature motorcycle drones, and other knock-off weapons, they are all readily available.
Before returning home from the Middle East, he even tinkered with a robot dog that looked ugly but was very practical.
In just two months.
He signed dozens of exorbitantly priced orders.
The order amount is close to one hundred million US dollars.
This not only turned his family's factory from loss to profit, but also made him a fortune.
