Chapter 11: The East Wind That Surpasses the Mighty Horse

  His mind moved, and the metal storage box on the mining ship suddenly lit up with a purple light. Only to see these metals instantly transformed into neatly stacked small blocks of gold bricks, which made Yang Ming take a big surprise.

  Gold and silver, these precious metals are fine, but copper, iron, and aluminum, these light-weight metals turned into small blocks are not quite suitable. Soon under Li Yang's operation, these ordinary metals became 50-kilogram gold ingot-like large blocks, only then did he feel at ease.

  Considering that gold and silver, these precious metals have no special channels to dispose of them, Li Yang decided to first pull out the iron metal to sell it for cash, after all, this thing is collected by any scrap collection station.

  I'm now in a tight spot and must come up with 600 yuan to solve the rent problem.

  To make himself less noticeable, Li Yang transformed the mining ship into a dilapidated Dongfeng heavy truck. The back compartment was filled with iron blocks, ready to be taken to a scrap metal collection station for a trial run.

  There was a flying saucer in space guiding itself, and Lai Yang soon found a large scrap metal collection station about ten kilometers away. He then sat down at the driver's seat and drove the mining ship over.

  Then the most bloody scene in history appeared, flying saucers navigating in space, mining ships on the ground pulling iron blocks to scrap collection stations. If those aliens knew that they had concentrated global resources to create the most advanced machine in the universe, but it was used by Li Yang to sell scrap metal for 600 yuan of rent, they would definitely cry blood and die!

  Leyang was anxious to return quickly to pay the rent, so he let the mining ship overtake all the way, advancing rapidly on the road. Although the body is huge, but with the super-intelligent machine operation of the mining ship, it runs effortlessly.

  When Li Yang's heavy truck overtook a khaki Hummer, he heard the horn of the car behind him blaring loudly. Before long, the khaki Hummer sped up and caught up with him. The window rolled down, and a young man with messy blond hair stuck out his thumb, flipped it downwards fiercely, and shouted: "Hey, I said, just now I wasn't paying attention and was overtaken by your broken Dongfeng, if you have the ability, come and compete again!"

  This road has been in disrepair for years, with potholes and uneven surfaces. Even ordinary trucks drive carefully on it. The car from Laiyang just drove over 80 miles on this terrible road, making the young driver of the Hummer extremely frustrated.

  Li Yang took a look at the young man and felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He had originally wanted to make a fortune quietly, but he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. So he ordered the mining ship to speed up and ignore the young man who was driving the Hummer.

  What happened next made the chicken coop on top of the Hummer stunned, only to see Lai Yang's broken car rushing left and right on the highway, and in a flash, it ran away without a trace. He almost stepped on the accelerator to the end, sitting on the Hummer was almost shaken into an internal injury, but he was watching with his eyes open as the other party walked further and further!

  Although the traffic on this road is very large, Laiyang's broken card car still runs very fast, with a speed of over 100 miles, and in many cases, mining ships can be predicted in advance. Therefore, despite the presence of many obstacles on the road, it can still run at high speed.

  Especially when arriving at a bend, due to the handling of an accident, all cars on the road were moving slowly, while Li Yang's Dongfeng car simply drove up the small hill beside the road and took a shortcut, causing all the surrounding drivers to take a deep breath!

  It didn't take long before Li Yang finally drove the car to this scrap collection station. He got out of the car and walked towards several workers who were busy at the weighbridge.

  "That's the boss, I have ten tons of iron to sell." Li Yang said to them.

  "Ten tons of iron? All on this broken-down car of yours?" An old man with a head full of white hair looked up from beside the scale.

  Li Yang raised his chin and said, "Yes, they're all loaded in the car."

  The old man wore a clean blue work uniform, he was tapping away on an old calculator, without delaying to signal to a partner beside him to check the goods in the truck.

  Before long, this fellow quickly flipped over the car and brought a 50-kilogram iron block to the table for the old man to inspect.

  The old man's eyes flickered and he accidentally knocked the calculator to the ground, the numbers he had been calculating for half a day were gone, it seemed he would have to start all over again.

  "Where did you get these iron blocks from, young man?" The old man stretched out his hand to touch the iron block, then took out a small hammer and tapped it gently.

  The sound emitted by the iron block was crisp and pleasant, the old man took out a magnifying glass again, bent down to examine it carefully for a while, and his body suddenly trembled slightly!

  "My family leased a mine and smelt it ourselves, but the sales route was not good and we couldn't sell it at a high price, so we had to come and sell scrap instead." Li Yang hesitated for half a day before opening his mouth to say out his randomly fabricated reason.

  The old man raised his head, stretched out two fingers at Li Yang and flashed a glance, saying in a low voice: "Two yuan per kilogram, will you sell or not?"

  Li Yang didn't know the value of these iron blocks. In his impression, it seemed that the scrap metal was sold to street vendors for 7 or 8 cents per catty. The old man offered him a price of one yuan per catty, which was still acceptable, so he nodded and smiled: "Old sir is quite knowledgeable, I'll sell it to you."

  As Lai Yang nodded, the old man's tense face broke into a sly smile like an old fox. He beckoned Lai Yang to drive the car onto the weighbridge and then shouted at more than a dozen busy workers beside him: "Little Liu, Little Zhang, big business has arrived, come quickly to unload the goods!"

  Li Yang was about to activate the self-unloading function and dump the iron blocks directly on the ground, but Lao Zi's expression changed and he stopped him. He had more than a dozen workers go up and manually move them by hand. Li Yang, who wanted to quickly pass the weighbridge and leave, felt very puzzled.

  Fortunately, the workers brought over two forklifts and a group of people assisted on the side, so the moving speed was not slow. As they worked, the old man led Yang Ming to a small house on the side, brewed a pot of clear tea, and filled Yang Ming's cup to the brim.

  "Hey young man, what you're selling doesn't look like scrap iron, it looks like freshly made steel blocks from a big factory. What's going on? May I ask where your family's factory is and what its name is?" The old man leaned over and whispered to the side.

  Li Yang was holding a tea bowl and drinking tea, after hearing his words, his hand shook slightly, almost dropping the tea bowl to the ground. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he thought to himself that he was just selling junk, yet he had given birth to such a clever idea.

  He was about to come up with a factory address with the old man, when suddenly a loud engine roar sounded outside, and a large Hummer car came in, kicking up clouds of dust. As soon as the car stopped, a young man jumped out of the car and walked towards Laiyang's small house where he was drinking tea.

  Li Yang looked up and saw that this young man was someone he knew. It was actually the chicken head who wanted to have a street racing competition with him!

  At this time, the young man pushed open the door, slammed the car key onto the small tea table, and complained to the old man: "Uncle Zhang, today I was so angry! I was on the rotten road in front of the purchasing station, and I was actually overtaken by a broken Dongfeng! I didn't expect that my hundred-million-dollar Hummer couldn't even beat a broken Dongfeng, it's really ridiculous!"

  Li Yang heard that this young man was quite angry and quickly lowered his head. He now only wanted to hurry up, take the money and leave, not wanting the young man to recognize him.

  The old man chuckled: "Haha, our young master Ling has always been bullying others. Today, being bullied by others isn't so bad after all. Your parents have spoiled you rotten, and it's not a bad thing to suffer a bit of setback."

  "Uncle Zhang, you're also making fun of me! I'm not going to bother with you anymore, I'm going home! I'll get my dad to change cars for me and switch to a Dongfeng heavy truck too! Oh right, someone on the road saw that speeding heavy-duty truck enter our scrap metal collection station, Uncle Zhang did you see it?" Ji Wotou glanced at Li Yang with a sideways glance, saying this to the old man.

  Just now on the road he just saw a glimpse of Li Yang's side face, so for a moment he didn't recognize that the person in front was the driver of that truck.

  The old man was taken aback and nodded towards Li Yang: "Dongfeng truck? Young brother, is the Dongfeng truck that Ling Gongzi mentioned yours?"

  It wasn't until he saw Lai Yang that Ji Wotou noticed him. He took a closer look and realized that this was the very truck driver who had overtaken him on the road!

  "I've finally found you! Haha, it's really worth the effort, I didn't waste my time at all!" Ji Wengtou hastily came forward and grabbed Li Yang, his face beaming with joy, shouting loudly.

  Li Yang had no choice but to stand up and whisper to him: "Ling Gongzi, I'm sorry. I have an urgent matter today, so I drove a bit fast. Please forgive me."

  "Haha, big brother, I want to buy this broken Dongfeng car from you. How much will you sell it for? If you want to trade for my Hummer, that's no problem either. This Hummer isn't good enough? I also have a Ferrari, Porsche, Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Rolls-Royce. You can choose any one you like!" Chicken Head shook Lei Yang's arm excitedly.

  Li Yang shook off his restraints and said in a low voice, "This car may be old, but I have feelings for it. No matter how much money you offer, I won't sell it, nor can it be exchanged. Mr. Ling, I have something urgent to attend to today, so please hurry up and sell these steel materials, and then go back to report. Please don't set your sights on this car of mine."

  "I don't even know your name, big brother. If you're not selling the car, I can borrow it for two days too?"

  "My name is Li Yang, I'm only eighteen this year. Don't keep calling me 'big brother', you might be older than me!"

  "Ah, Li Yang, what a great name! I'm also 18, the same age as you. But you're driving that broken truck and can still reach over 100 miles per hour on that terrible road - your driving skills are way better than mine! From now on, you're my big brother, and I'll follow you from now on!"

  Li Yang's body was covered in cold sweat, and he thought to himself that he didn't even have a driver's license yet, but had already become a racing master, and his heart felt a chill.

  "Uncle Zhang, since Brother Li wants to sell steel, you should let the workers move faster, brother has an urgent matter today!" Ji Wotou shouted while hiding from the old man.

  Young Master Ling's words were indeed effective, and the old man nodded, pushed open the door to hurry up the workers unloading the goods. The house was left with only Li Yang and Young Master Ling.

  "Big brother, my name is Ling Feng. This scrap metal collection station is run by my family. Apart from this station, the gold mine, iron mine, non-ferrous metal smelting plant, and waste metal trading company in this area, as well as over a hundred scrap metal collection stations nearby, are all run by my family. From now on, big brother, if you come to sell scrap iron, just mention my name, and no one will dare to neglect you!" Chicken Head said with a flattering expression.

  Li Yang's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "This is really something that comes true when you think about it. This person is a treasure! I was just thinking of getting rid of those precious metals, and now here he is, isn't this just perfect?"
