Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 40 Signing The Contract

?The distance is far.

Chen Hu drove for over an hour to reach the warehouse, which is situated in the outer suburbs. It's not an urban location but rather a rural one with well-developed road traffic. The road leading to the warehouse has always been broad and flat.

Due to its proximity to the sea, this region is predominantly rural, with the local population relying mainly on aquaculture or sea fishing for their livelihoods. The coastline is marked by extensive tidal flats used for aquaculture, while further out to sea, one can spot clusters of aquaculture cages.

The middleman explained that the warehouse owner was previously involved in the seafood industry but wanted to do something other than continue with it due to age. As a result, the warehouse was vacant, and the owner was willing to rent it out for a nominal fee.

Liu Yong said:

"What about his children? You can continue to do it."

The intermediary said:

"He is just a son and refuses to return from Country M."

Liu Yong understands it and wants to see what the warehouse looks like, hoping to meet his requirements.

"Why do you suddenly want to rent a warehouse?"

Liu Yong's line of thinking is that with Bawang's presence, he will discover various items on the seabed. However, he would explore another location where Bawang is not present to transport the items. In that case, it may be unsafe as someone else may discover valuable items, such as woollen cloth.

Bawang's size has been consistently increasing, growing almost one circle larger daily. It weighed a little over one ton just a few days ago, but today it has surpassed two tons.

It is anticipated that it will soon be that Bawang grows to 10 tons, and in the future, it could reach an astonishing 100 or even 1,000 tons. If such a massive creature were to emerge from the sea, it would be problematic if spotted or photographed by others.

Having a large warehouse located near the sea is advantageous. Overlord can store the items found on the seabed in the warehouse, which is a much safer option.

Liu Yong's ideal warehouse is as close to the sea as possible, a bit out of the way, and it would be better if no buildings or people living around it.

As they drove, the warehouse gradually came into view. The middleman sitting in the passenger seat pointed towards the building by the sea ahead and said,

"Mr Liu, do you see that? That's the warehouse."

Liu Yong immediately looked over. It was right by the sea, so close to the sea that the seawater could almost touch the concrete foundation of the warehouse. It was a seemingly large warehouse.

Upon seeing the warehouse, Liu Yong became intrigued and commented,

"It looks quite good."

As the car approached the warehouse gate, they noticed that walls and gates surrounded it. Once inside, they could see two buildings within the premises. The larger building was the warehouse, and there was also a two-story building, likely for the staff or workers employed at the warehouse.

The warehouse owner was already waiting there, a man with grey hair who looked at least in his sixties.

The middleman, Xiao Zhou, introduced both parties to each other before being led by the warehouse owner for a tour of the premises. Upon opening the warehouse door, they found the interior quite spacious.

The owner of the warehouse introduced:

"It used to be used for sorting and packaging seafood, with an area of ??more than 2,800 square meters."

Liu Yong's main focus was not to listen to these introductions, but the situation in the warehouse aroused his great interest, so he couldn't help walking over quickly.

This is a waterway leading to the warehouse and the sea.

The owner of the warehouse said:

"This is a specially built waterway. Our fishing boats for transporting seafood can directly enter the warehouse, which is very convenient for unloading."

"It's great to have such a waterway!"

It is something Liu Yong never expected.

The waterway, constructed with reinforced concrete, spans a width of 20 to 30 meters and is filled with seawater. From the channel, one can gaze out towards the sea.

The water depth of the waterway is likely several meters deep, which would allow fishing boats weighing hundreds of tons to enter the warehouse directly quickly. Additionally, there are gates in place which, when lowered, would further ensure the security and safety of the warehouse.

This is simply the ideal warehouse.

Liu Yong envisioned a warehouse with a similar waterway leading to the sea, where Bawang could enter the warehouse discreetly, travelling along the channel from the sea.

Liu Yong felt a little excited.

Upon inspection, I am highly pleased with the warehouse. It boasts an almost 3,000 square meters spacious area and provides excellent privacy. The windows are covered with film, making it difficult for outsiders to see inside. The warehouse is encircled by high walls, further enhancing its seclusion and ensuring its activities remain confidential.

The size of the warehouse allows for easy access even for large trailers, and it is equipped with a 20-ton crane that can lift objects weighing less than 20 tons. This feature is handy for loading items.

Intermediary Xiao Zhou observed the words and expressions and noticed that Liu Yong seemed satisfied and asked hopefully:

"Mr Liu, are you satisfied with this warehouse?"

Liu Yong nodded,

"Well, it meets my requirements. I don't know how about the rent."

Soon, everyone began to talk about the lease in detail, including the rent. After some bargaining, the lease contract was signed on the spot.

The intermediary brought a ready-made contract. Both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints. The lease was concluded, and Liu Yong also got the key.

On the way back, the joy in Liu Yong's heart finally surfaced on his face. The warehouse has been rented, so there is no need to hide this joy in his heart.

This is simply a warehouse tailor-made for myself and Overlord. The area is large enough, nearly 3,000 square meters. A broad and deep waterway directly connected to the sea outside is gratifying.

Hongda Redwood Group.

Zhao Zhenbiao was smoking a stale cigarette, feeling very irritable.

Sometimes being well-known in a particular industry is only sometimes a good thing. For example, Zhao Zhenbiao is relatively well-known in the domestic mahogany industry but recently encountered an annoying thing.

Not long ago, a sure boss asked him to customise a set of high-end desks, requiring the entire desktop to be made of a whole piece of golden nanmu.

Zhao Zhenbiao wanted to say that such a large silk nanmu couldn't be almost extinct, but he dared not say it because the boss was notoriously violent, and he could never afford to offend him.

Using a whole piece of golden nan to make a desk, probably only the boss would dare to have such an idea; only his status is worthy of such a desk.

Zhao Zhenbiao did not dare to offend, so he could only bite the bullet and continue this business.

Then, mobilise all relationships and channels to find a giant golden nanmu tree or a large golden nanmu slab.

It has been over ten days, but a clue remains.

Such a big Jinshen; easier said than done!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was a knock on the office door, and Wu Qingshan, the vice president of Hongda Group, walked in. Seeing Zhao Zhenbiao smoking a cigarette on the boss' chair, he said softly.

"Boss, I'm still worrying about that piece of golden nanmu."

Zhao Zhenbiao squeezed the cigarette **** in his hand in the ashtray and sighed softly, "For so many days, there has been no clue. I think there is no hope."

Wu Qingshan said: "I have a way to try."

"Oh, what can I do? Tell me quickly." Zhao Zhenbiao's eyes lit up as if he saw hope.
