"I want one set. No, I want two sets."
The image of the soon-to-be-built exhibition hall flashed through Su Wei's mind.
They also need a network, and for the stability of the monitoring system and the real-time uploading of stored data, a dedicated line is best.
"I am Su Wei Weiyang. I will be at your store promptly at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. No matter the price, I want the goods in stock, and I also need one of your skilled technicians to come back with me for installation and testing."
Two sets? The price now is...
Money is not a problem.
Su Wei looked out at the pitch-black night, his voice steady.
"I only need one guarantee: I want to see 4K YouTube videos playing smoothly in my cabin before sunset tomorrow. Can you do that?"
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, Mr. Yang, but the installation fee and on-site service fee are double in the suburbs..."
"No problem."
Su Wei hung up the phone and tossed it back onto the sofa.
Hoo €€€€
I breathed a sigh of relief.
With his major concern resolved, Su Wei looked back at the computer screen.
Although I still can't access the internet, this computer has a lot of offline files that I downloaded before.
Those were scans of the notes that Black and Old Hope had given them, along with some basic illustrations of Alaska flora and fauna.
He had studied all of this beforehand.
Since we can't access real-time business data, let's start with planning.
Su Wei pulled a black notebook from under the coffee table; the cover was somewhat worn.
Turn to a new page and remove the pen cap.
He wrote four characters heavily on the paper, his pen strokes sharp and forceful:
[Sweet Gold]
This is more than just four words; it's his first step in making money.
Su Wei closed his eyes, and the image of the [ Gathering Module ] reappeared in his mind.
The thousands of birch trees within the territory resembled a giant three-dimensional map, with each tree marked with its estimated sap production.
He opened his eyes, his pen gliding rapidly across the paper, no longer a rigid list, but a flowing stream of thoughts:
The core challenge lies not in technology, but in efficiency.
The honey flow period lasts only three weeks. Thousands of trees, thousands of holes, thousands of buckets.
Doing it alone? That's suicide.
We must hire someone. They need to be obedient, quick, and not ask too many questions.
He drew a circle on the paper, wrote the word "artificial" on it, and then added a heavy question mark.
Aruk?
That guy should be fine; he can help out.
He's a true local here and can be a great help.
It seems that tomorrow when I go to town, besides getting the internet sorted out, I might also have to go to the labor agency.
Next is the second item: [ Pilan Creek Fishery ].
The stream flowed through his territory and eventually emptied into the sea.
Su Wei drew a curved line on the paper.
Every summer, sockeye salmon swim upstream in search of spawning grounds. It's a river flowing with silver coins.
But he didn't want to be just a fisherman pulling in the net.
He thought of the city dwellers Aruk had mentioned earlier, those who were willing to spend lavishly to catch a big fish.
The [ Fishing Module ] is currently only at LV1, but when combined with [ Water Condition Perception ], he becomes God in this narrow stream.
He can tell those wealthy people precisely where the fish are, and where the big fish are.
This isn't about selling fish; it's about selling a sense of conquest.
Of course, the method will be slightly different.
This is for their experience.
Su Wei wrote in his notebook: [The prototype of a high-end recreational fishing club].
This requires building a dock, constructing a boardwalk, and even a few decent kayaks.
money.
Money again.
The anxiety that had just subsided surged back up.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He then wrote another line: [High-end private hunting guide]
This line of work can also be profitable.
If you meet someone who appreciates you, you can earn tens of thousands of dollars in just two or three days.
But he hasn't fully mastered the craft yet.
His fame is still confined to internal circles.
We'll have to wait until Black gets back and then consult him.
The rest...
Su Wei felt his mind suddenly freeze, and he couldn't come up with any new ideas for a while.
He closed the notebook and threw it back onto the coffee table with a "thud".
I don't want to think about it anymore.
No matter how much you think, it's all for nothing without internet.
Tomorrow, let's get the internet connected first.
He glanced at the wall clock.
10 PM.
Today, the long drive combined with intense mental exertion left him feeling deeply exhausted.
That kind of fatigue isn't muscle soreness, but rather a sudden relaxation after the brain's nerves have been tense.
"Sleep."
Su Wei stood up, stretched, and his joints cracked all over.
Cotton Candy had long since finished her can of food and was now lying on the carpet licking her paws.
Seeing its owner get up, it immediately perked up its ears, wagged its tail obsequiously, and its eyes sparkled.
"Let's go back to our nest."
Su Wei turned off the main light in the living room, leaving only a dim wall lamp on.
He picked up the Cotton Candy and went up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
It was cold in the bedroom, but he didn't care.
The heating is on; we just need to wait for it to warm up.
Su Wei placed the Cotton Candy on the soft mat specially laid out for it at the foot of the bed, and then crawled into the thick down comforter.
Outside the window, the wind and snow seemed to have intensified.
The howling wind rattled against the windowpanes.
But at this moment, Su Wei felt incredibly at ease.
This is his house.
This is his land.
Although he still owes money, although the internet speed is as slow as a snail, and although countless troubles await him in the future.
Su Wei closed his eyes.
Before he fell asleep, what flashed through his mind was neither the priceless crown and antlers, nor the unfinished bearskin.
Instead, it was a beautiful, large estate in his future plans.
The next second, a fluffy white ball of fluff jumped onto the bed.
He then crawled into Su Wei's armpit.
