A 10,000-fold Increase System, Picking Up Garbage and Becoming a Technology Giant

Lin Hao gasped, his eyes widening like copper bells. When it came time to sign, Lin Hao’s hand couldn’t help but tremble slightly. This was the first time he had seen such a large order, and he was the one signing it.

Li Yan introduced Wang Zhenchuan to Lin Hao as the head of the procurement department, saying that all future procurement matters would be handled by Wang Zhenchuan.

After signing and seeing off the people from Sheng Guo Group, Lin Hao felt like he was in a dream, still feeling a sense of unreality.

He happily showed the contract to Chen Fan: ”A 5-million-yuan contract, Fan Zi, we’ve struck it rich!”

Chen Fan remained calm: ”This is just the beginning; we’ll have many more customers later.”

”Fan Zi, I prostrate myself before you in worship; from now on, I’ll treat you like a god.” Lin Hao was completely won over by Chen Fan.

Chen Fan smiled: ”Stop joking with me again.”

After the news of the signing with Sheng Guo Group spread, the entire industry was in an uproar.

Following that, industry giants like Huayu Technology and Tiangong Group also called, specifically asking for Stardust-S1 material, with each order amount higher than the last.

Lin Hao was so busy his feet hardly touched the ground. His hand grew weary from signing names and his voice went hoarse from shouting, but he welcomed these happy troubles.

Lin Hao did a tally; in just one week after signing with Sheng Guo Group, Fanxing’s total contract volume surpassed one hundred million.

The production lines in the workshop ran non-stop twenty-four hours a day, yet supply still couldn’t meet demand. Many small orders couldn’t even get in line for cooperation.

——

In stark contrast was the miserable state of Lis Sci-Tech.

The CEO’s office was a mess.

Documents were scattered everywhere. Li Zeyu slumped in his executive chair, dead drunk. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked ten years older.

The assistant stood to the side, trembling, almost crushing the reports in his hand: ”President Li... all the high-end customers have terminated their contracts. Even those customers we used to look down on have run off to cooperate with Fanxing Technology. The company’s capital chain is completely broken, and the bank refuses to grant any more loans...”

”Enough!” Li Zeyu suddenly roared, grabbing the documents on the table and slamming them onto the floor. ”They’re all just a bunch of people who forget morality for the sake of profit!”

He was like a madman, screaming hysterically, his eyes filled with venom and resentment.

The assistant spoke cautiously: ”President Li, how about... we go talk to Fanxing Technology as well? See if we can become an agent for their products?”

”An agent?” Li Zeyu felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. He stood up abruptly and pointed out the window. ”My Lis Sci-Tech is an industry leader, after all. You want me to work for a down-and-out family? Impossible!”

He was unwilling, truly unwilling.

He couldn’t understand how a small factory on the verge of bankruptcy could suddenly develop a miraculous material like Stardust-S1. How could they snatch away all his customers overnight?

Just then, the office door was slammed open, and Li Guoxiong walked in, his face ashen.

”Dad.” Li Zeyu immediately stood up.

”The board meeting just finished,” Li Guoxiong’s voice was hoarse. ”The Sci-Tech company... is preparing to apply for bankruptcy protection.”

Li Zeyu trembled all over: ”Dad! Can’t we think of another way? I can go to the bank, I can go to—”

”Find who?” Li Guoxiong interrupted him. ”Now the whole industry knows that Lis Sci-Tech’s technology is a generation behind. Banks won’t offer help in times of need; they only add icing to the cake. As for those old customers...” He sneered, ”They are currently lining up, waiting to sign Fanxing Technology’s orders for the second half of the year.”

”Next Monday, the application for bankruptcy protection will be officially submitted.” Li Guoxiong turned to leave, stopping at the door. ”Before then, clean up the mess on your hands. And...”

He looked back at his son, his gaze complex: ”Don’t do anything reckless again. The Li family can no longer afford to lose.”

The door closed.

The office was as silent as death.
