Monster Factory

Chapter 31: A fuss free order

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

"Oww ~ just you wait, I'm gonna fking call the cops. God damn it hurts." The badly battered Qian Xiaomeng laid there on the ground as blood kept following out of his mouth. The new looking casual suit he was wearing was in ruins, with Ye Qing's footprints all over it.

"Help! Everyone help! This pair of assholes, please help call the cops!" Qian Xiaomeng, who's been taking the beatings over and over again, finally collapsed and was looking towards the onlookers for help.

The onlookers acted as if free money was being given away. They came together, pointing and sending looks everywhere.

Except they were obviously leaning towards Ye Qing. After all, the two on the ground and the ones standing are all dressed like hooligans and gangster wanna bes.

As for Ye Qing and Zhang Zhitong, describing them as golden children would be a bit too much, but calling the girl beautiful is more than fitting.

The onlookers quickly picked their side and no one wanted to make the call.

"Calling people to rob someone in broad daylight and still daring to call the cops. Fine then, I'll make the call myself." Zhang Zhitong's icy cold voice came out, and she called the police's internal lines.

Right now the street is a complete mess. Apart from Ye Qing, no one else heard what Zhang Zhitong said during the call clearly.

The bystanders believed that Zhang Zhitong merely called the police. A couple of enthusiastic youngsters, who were also in the restaurant, vouched that when the police came that they would be willing to be witnesses.

"So what's going on? How come you have beef with this bunch?" After finishing the call, Zhang Zhitong strangely asked.

Ye Qing helplessly shrugged, and told her the whole story.

Upon hearing the cause, Zhang Zhitong became somewhat angry again. She nodded and gave Ye Qing a look that said 'I got it'.

The police soon arrived on scene. Only a couple of minutes later, a electric police patrol car squeezed past everyone.

"Get up, get up. You're coming with me to the department." An officer with his metal baton in hand, cruelly poked the still lying Qian Xiaomeng.

This bunch of youngsters quickly gathered and every one of them started to describe how frightening Qian Xiaomeng and his group was. They nearly described the bunch as river bandits, saying they not only wanted to steal the car, but also wanted to molest this girl.

"Great job. Our society is always missing people like you guys, youngsters who are willing to point out the unjust." The leading police officer happily praised them.

"I need to go and sort this out." Zhang Zhitong whispered into Ye Qing's ear: "If stuff like this happens again, call me, I'll have it sorted out."

Zhang Zhitong's whispering voice carried the smell of alcohol, which caused Ye Qing's ear to itch quite a bit. It also gave Ye Qing's some uncontrollable thoughts.

"Alright, but I'm paying next time."

"Deal!" Zhang Zhitong smiled, then entered the patrol car.

Ye Qing had some reluctance upon seeing the patrol car leave. Zhang Zhitong's nature and lack of restraint easily blew away the deep scar buried so long ago.

Walking to the end of Caiyi Street, Ye Qing bought a cup of freshly squeezed mango juice to quench his thirst and called for a taxi to head to the construction materials market.

Electric cables, hollow bricks, cement, gravel, sand, paint, steel reinforcing bars, glass windows, ……

The shipyard needs to be renovated from the bottom up. Ye Qing had to order over 100 tons of cement alone.

Right now the whole construction market is at a down turn, so lots of stores have large quantities of materials accumulated. Ye Qing's huge purchase this time only cost him 320 yuan per ton of loose cement.

Similarly, these stores were also extremely quick in sending off their products. Just as Ye Qing left the stores, they had already contacted their warehouse and was ready to send out the products.

Buying all these materials cost Ye Qing almost 300,000.

Then Ye Qing headed to a second hand machinery market at the south end of the city, preparing to buy a batch of much needed machinery.

Double spindle CNC machining lathe, double column precision punch, 5-axis vertical machining center.

The factory doesn't have these machines, but they are strictly required to make parts for the rapid metal engraving machine as stated in the blueprint.

The curbstones becoming an instant hit is already guaranteed.

Ye Qing must grab the opportunity to create more of these rapid metal engravers so that he can earn more development funding.

The first two types of second hand machines are rather cheap to procure, but the 5-axis vertical machining center is undoubtedly expensive. Even if it's the domestic XH 1270's small machining centers, it still costs 120,000.

You can't not buy them. These high precision machining centers are the core of all industrial industries.

Having tested the precision and functionality of the machines, Ye Qing straight up paid for the machines and had them send the machines to the new factory's address.

When Ye Qing finally finished his shopping list and hurried back to dragon creek beach, tens of trucks were already parked in the yard with workers unloading the stuff non-stop.

The gantry crane from the original shipyard had its motors sold off a long time ago, so there was absolutely no way to use it. Hence the workers busied themselves for over an hour before they finally unloaded everything.

Having signed the receipt, the three machining machines also arrived. Fortunate, Ye Qing warned them to bring a fork lift, otherwise there would be no way to move them at all.

When the three machines were transported into the original ship warehouse, the workers and drivers waved good bye to Ye Qing before driving off. The bustling shipyard quieted down again.

There seriously wasn't any sign of life there. The overgrowth there was extreme. With the barren waste hills acting as an obstruction, forget building a machining factory, people still wouldn't notice even if someone tossed a heavy bomb here.

After several minutes passed, Ye Qing scanned the surroundings and satisfyingly nodded his head.

Pulling out the monster factory cell phone, Ye Qing summoned all 10 peons and 2 master artisans.

When the ten NBA player like, green skinned, tusked peons with fists that are bigger than sandbags appeared, the air surrounding them seemingly stopped moving for a second from the shock of their astronomical strength.

The two master artisans were standing right in front of them, giving off an image quite similar to ordinary people taking pictures with Yao Ming.

From their outer appearance alone, the artisans resemble regular humans. Their 160cm ish body height and slouched posture really resembles old fellows.

The master artisans don't have the robust strength of the peons, but they have an amazing intellect and a pair of hands that is even more nimble than 8th tier [ED: Master] fitters. Ye Qing giving the two the responsibility of reconstructing the shipyard was undoubtedly the correct choice.

After Ye Qing roughly planned out the layout of the new factory, the two artisans immediately began to give out commands to the peons to start moving the bricks and rebars.

Ye Qing planned to surround the entire shipyard with a three meter wall, tear down and reconstruct the existing dock, and build a couple of new two story office buildings.

As for the factory's electric wiring, Ye Qing planned to do the job himself. To construct three phase 380 W lines is a walk in the park for him.

When these peons start working, one of them alone is more than enough to replace 10 ordinary workers. When they bend thumb size thick rebars, they don't even need to use steel wrenches, all they need to do is bend it with their bare hands into any shape they desire.

Inside the building, Ye Qing is currently erecting the electrical cables, but an unknown number called Ye Qing's cell.

"Hello ~"

"Is this Mr. Ye?" Clear and bright laughter can be heard coming for the other end: "I'm Le Zhengdong, the Chief of the city construction management office.

"Hi there Chief Le, is there anything I can help you with?" Ye Qing hurriedly stopped what he was doing and asked.

"That batch of curbstones really hit the mark. We got so many calls from the citizens this afternoon asking us if we can swap out the curbstones with these carved ones in front of their homes."

"Haha ~ of course there is no way these wishes can be satisfied. Many of these streets have already been renovated recently, so even if we have ample budget left, we still can't waste it like this."

Chief Le first made some polite chit chat with Ye Qing, then feeling that the timing is right, asked a simple yet straight to the point question: "Oh right, Mr.Ye, those engraving machines that you use to carve the curbstones, where did you buy them from?"

"I just happen to have a friend who is in the stone processing business in Siyun county. I don't know from which group he got the pictures of the curbstones on Caiyi street from, but he strongly insisted on asking me to help him order a couple of them."
