The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 371: Wealthy and Powerful

Chapter 371: Wealthy and Powerful

When it was almost completely dark outside and the moon was hanging in the distance, the people who worked at the steel rolling mill in the courtyard gradually returned.

At this moment, almost all of these people were carrying something in their hands, and their faces were mostly covered with smiles.

Although Li Qin saw it through the window, he did not come out.

For him, he'd rather spend that time reading more books.

Because the steel rolling mill will be closed for the next three days, there will be no night school tonight, and Li Qin doesn't need to go.

As a result, Li Qin had more time to read.

Before we knew it, it was already past 11 p.m.

At this time, almost all the residents in the courtyard had fallen asleep, so Li Qin stretched and stood up from his desk.

"It's time to get ready!"

Although tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Qin has no intention of taking a break.

Tonight he will still go to Hong Kong to visit some kind-hearted people.

Nowadays, there are many foreigners in Hong Kong, but it's impossible for all of them to be wealthy.

Li Qin had already visited almost all the wealthy people.

Now, the people he visits at night are those engaged in prohibited industries in Hong Kong.

However, Li Qin had no interest in people at the bottom; he approached almost exclusively high-ranking individuals.

Only these people can make money.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these people with triad or gang backgrounds may not seem to have the same social status as foreigners; their wealth is just as considerable.

However, these people are also surrounded by strong security forces.

At first, Li Qin had no experience visiting these people, and in order to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he visited fewer people each night.

There are at most ten people.

However, now that he has gained experience and is familiar with how to deal with these kinds of people, the number of people he visits each day has begun to increase.

Of course, just in case, Li Qin did not rush into anything for personal gain.

These days, he only selects five more people to visit each night.

Even so, Li Qin's gains every night were still very substantial.

Especially in terms of gold, quite a lot has already been collected;

"Although we have enough gold to refine an upgraded mechanical pen and a fourth-level pagoda, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner."

Let's put this matter aside for now and do it after the holiday.

Although he already had enough materials, Li Qin decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

After all, no matter how you look at it, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In this world, he can be said to be a true stranger in a strange land.

There aren't many family members I can reunite with, but I still plan to relax a bit.

As for the matter of refining alchemical items, the design plan has already been finalized, and Li Qin has also mastered the relevant knowledge.

He can refine them all in one night.

Not to mention that Li Qin had already done a lot of preparations in advance, so there wasn't much left to do.

At this moment, Li Qin's thoughts drifted back to Hong Kong.

A look of emotion flashed across his face;

"It has to be said that many things that are troublesome in mainland China are very simple in Hong Kong, as long as the money is right."

Since signing the cooperation agreement with Hung Kwong Law Firm, Hung Kwong has been looking for suitable shops and storefronts for Li Qin in Hong Kong according to his needs.

Hung Kwong Law Firm certainly lived up to the money Li Qin had given them. In just a few days, they had already found more than a dozen shops in various areas of Hong Kong that met Li Qin's requirements. To acquire these shops, Li Qin directly spent nearly several hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Logically speaking, a simple shop shouldn't cost that much money.

However, Li Qin's acquisition of the shops is not limited to the shops themselves; he will also take over the upper floor of the building.

Part of these houses will be used as warehouses for the shops, while the rest will be used as living quarters for the people in charge of the shops.

Since Li Qin is only one person and doesn't have the ability to create clones, he will definitely need to hire someone to manage these shops in the future.

This was inevitable.

Since he had hired someone to work for him, Li Qin naturally had to help the other party solve the accommodation problem so that the other party could earn more money for him.

Li Qin felt that this investment was very worthwhile.

Moreover, he himself owns all these houses and shops, so there is naturally no problem.

That's why the cost is so high.

Fortunately, Li Qin's visits to kind-hearted people in Hong Kong every night yielded great rewards. Now, Li Qin himself doesn't even know how much cash is in his storage ring.

In any case, a mere few hundred thousand was nothing to him.

"According to my initial plan, opening twenty shops in Hong Kong would basically meet the demand. As for the rest, we can continue to expand after the company is established."

Li Qin secretly calculated that if the current efficiency continued, the shops would be ready in about a week at most.

Then he can gradually organize these shops.

Initially, Li Qin planned to sell items closely related to people's livelihoods in these shops:

For example, rice, flour, cooking oil, fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs...

Once things improve, he will find a few good locations to open several shops.

However, these shops won't be selling ordinary things; they'll be selling higher-end items.

For example, medicinal herbs, leather, tea...

Li Qin has quite a few of these things in his space.

There's even a considerable amount of inventory stored in the warehouse, which can be sold through these shops in Hong Kong later.

Everything was progressing according to plan, and Li Qin was very happy:

"As long as we keep going at this pace, everything will be on track in no time, and then I'll be able to relax."

Although Li Qin didn't actually seem to have done much, he has been much busier recently compared to before.

Before his transmigration, Li Qin wasn't exactly a beast of burden, but he still had a very hard life.

Now that they've traveled through time and possess extraordinary power, becoming an immortal being in the future wouldn't be difficult.

Li Qin naturally didn't want to live that kind of tiring and hard life again.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have wasted his time traveling and gained magical power for nothing?

He can only endure it now because of his future plans and the desire for an easier life.

Fortunately, according to Li Qin's plan, this kind of life will end soon.

Then he can live a relaxed life again.

Upon thinking of this, Li Qin's initial impatience immediately subsided.

Li Qin went to the bathroom at home to wash up briefly.

Although he could solve these problems with a single spell without leaving any trace, Li Qin still preferred normal washing and grooming.

The feeling of water actually touching the skin is different from directly using a spell.

After washing up, Li Qin tidied himself up and, after confirming that there were no flaws, used the door key to teleport to Hong Kong.
