Fed to the Brim with Blowing

Everyone was dumbfounded by Father Zhou's Versailles-style boasting!

There were still several dozen mu of land left undeveloped?

How huge would the entire factory be once it was finished?

Would it stretch as far as the eye could see?

"Yongfu, how much did this factory cost? Was a hundred thousand enough?"

Someone immediately said, "A hundred thousand definitely wouldn't be enough! That wouldn't even be enough to buy the land!"

"With such a huge plot of land, and three high-rise buildings on it, it must have cost at least several hundred thousand!"

As for how much it had cost, Father Zhou naturally wouldn't tell them. He merely said with a hearty laugh, "I don't know how much it cost. I never asked. I'm out at sea every day, taking two big ships on long voyages, so I haven't had time to manage these things. If the factory weren't opening today, and I didn't have to go collect the ships this afternoon, I'd still be out at sea. I didn't want to come back so early in the first place. I'd planned to work until the end of the year before returning."

"A'Lei bought another fishing boat? Is it another one of those huge fishing boats dozens of meters long?"

"No, it isn't a fishing boat."

"He bought a bulk carrier. Didn't you know?"

"Of course I didn't know! It wasn't me who bought it. Is he bringing it back today? I haven't even seen a large bulk carrier before! I'll have to go aboard and take a look later."

"Are you stupid? Our village wharf can't berth a ship that big! He won't bring it back."

"...I'd completely forgotten about that."

"That's amazing! Truly amazing! A'Lei is really capable."

Father Zhou had boasted until he was full, and
