Chen Feng absolutely could not afford to delay this deal. After giving it some thought, he figured production in the dormitory might cause trouble, so he decided to rent a place.
Chen Feng immediately informed his roommates and asked them to help him request leave from class the next day. He had something very important to do.
Although Zhao Zhipeng and the others had no idea what Chen Feng had been up to lately, they nodded at his serious expression and wisely did not ask any further questions.
Chen Feng soon arrived at a residential complex near the university. It was called Jinling Community, a fairly ordinary neighborhood. He could not afford a high-end complex anyway.
Chen Feng did not have much money on him at the moment, but once he completed this batch of orders, he would receive 100,000 yuan. The costs were practically nonexistent—if they had to be counted, they would only come to a few hundred yuan at most.
After negotiating with the landlord, he quickly moved into a one-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. Housing prices in Ning City were fairly high, so the rent came to around 1,500 yuan.
Still, 1,500 yuan was acceptable, so Chen Feng paid without hesitation. This was money he had saved by scrimping and saving; his parents basically never gave him extra spending money.
After moving in, he went to the supermarket and bought all sorts of miscellaneous items, specifically choosing the cheap ones. It cost him around 500 yuan.
After struggling to carry the 500 yuan worth of things back to his apartment, he began mass production.
Producing Bao'er Jie's figurines was actually very simple. He only needed to enter the quantity and wait as they were continuously made. However, he still had to manually add the Raw Materials, and there was no way around that.
After a grueling day and night, he had quickly produced one hundred Bao'er Jie figurines. With the hundred models completed, he planned to hand them over to Cao Deming.
He immediately called Cao Deming. When Cao Deming received the call, he found it utterly unbelievable. He had never expected the order to be completed so quickly—it had only been two days.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No problem, no problem at all. As long as you've completed the order and the level of detail is as fine as the previous model, everything is negotiable. When can you deliver them? Where will the delivery take place? You decide."
After hearing that, Chen Feng thought it over carefully and decided to set the delivery location near Ning City University. He could just transport them by truck then, so no one would suspect anything.
On the third day, Cao Deming saw the batch of orders. Every single one had been casually placed outside, without even a packaging box.
Cao Deming found this very surprising, but after carefully inspecting them, he discovered that every one was completely intact. Their level of detail was exactly the same as the previous model, without the slightest difference.
This could only mean one thing: their factory's precision-processing equipment was extremely advanced, and their precision-processing technology was highly developed. There would be no problem cooperating with them.
"The packaging is a little crude, but you'll have to handle the packaging yourselves. You'll cover the packaging costs."
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Cao Deming considered it carefully. Packaging would not cost much, so he saw no issue with it and readily agreed.
"Fine. In that case, we'll take these things away directly. Happy cooperation."
Cao Deming had wanted to treat Chen Feng to a meal, but Chen Feng refused, saying he still had other matters to attend to. The 100,000 yuan was also transferred into Chen Feng's account.
After Cao Deming left, Chen Feng gradually calmed down. For him, having an extra 100,000 yuan suddenly appear in his account felt somewhat unreal to anyone.
After his satisfaction faded, Chen Feng felt that if things continued like this, Cao Deming would grow suspicious. Cao Deming had already become suspicious this time, because no factory would place its products inside a residential building.
These Bao'er Jie figurines did look as though they had been rushed out in bulk, but since their level of detail was identical, Cao Deming stopped doubting. After all, no master could make so many identical figurines in just a few days.
Although he had fooled them this time, it would not be so easy to fool them again next time. What Chen Feng needed to do now was rent a warehouse.
As long as he had a warehouse along with his 3D Printer, it would be equivalent to having a factory.
Chen Feng quickly contacted several nearby agents and found a warehouse in the suburbs of Ning City. The warehouse was no longer in use and had been put up for sublease. There was nothing inside—just an empty warehouse.
"What do you think, Mr. Chen? Are you satisfied? This is the most suitable location and warehouse we have."
"This still doesn't quite meet my requirements. The transportation infrastructure around here is simply too lacking."
"How could that be? Transportation here is fairly convenient. Mr. Chen, why don't you think it over again?"
After chatting with the man for a while, Chen Feng expressed his dissatisfaction. It was merely a small bargaining tactic: by showing dissatisfaction with the property, he could lower the man's expectations and secure a more reasonable price.
The warehouse covered roughly 150 square meters, and the annual rent was about 50,000 yuan. It was quite expensive, but it was worth it.
Chen Feng readily paid a year's rent. For him, 50,000 yuan could be earned back in just a few days. Ever since he had obtained the 3D Printer, making money had never been so easy.
However, Cao Deming definitely would not need more Bao'er Jie figurines for the time being, so Chen Feng needed to think of other ways to make money.
After all, his first mission was to earn one million yuan. He had now earned 100,000 yuan. Although he had spent 50,000 yuan, the 100,000 yuan he had earned still counted toward the mission quota. In other words, he only needed to earn another 900,000 yuan.
