Chapter 79 Zhou Xing's Dream
After thinking about it, this was not something I should worry about, and Luo Hou slowly felt relieved.
Driven by the pickup, Luohou galloped back to the villa area.
On this day, the three servants invited by Zhou Xing had already started working and cleaned the entire villa and the courtyard, which looked much tidy, which made Luo Hou quite satisfied.
Seeing that Luo Hou did not ride the cool mount home, but changed to a pickup truck, Zhou Xing was puzzled but did not dare to ask. After Luo Hou parked the car, he ordered a maid to clean the pickup truck.
"Boss, have you eaten? I'll ask them to do it right away."
"I've eaten outside, you can eat it yourself." Luo Hou waved his hand and was about to walk upstairs.
"Boss, wait, this is the invitation sent by the Villa District Management Center today. You can take a look first."
Zhou Xing quickly called Luo Hou and took a red piece of paper from the table in the living room.
"Oh, what invitation?" Luo Hou took the red invitation handed over by Zhou Xing in confusion. When he opened it, he found that it was transferred by an auction house named "Shenfeng" in the villa area through the management center.
The general idea is that at 3 pm three days later, Shenfeng Auction House will join hands with five equipment stores in the villa area to conduct a high-end equipment auction, and invite all residents of the villa area to visit at that time.
Equipment auction? Luo Hou thought about it and felt that it was necessary to go over and take a look. It would be better to shoot a good weapon at that time. Otherwise, his ancient sword would be too conspicuous and difficult to take it out in front of others, so it would be necessary to prepare a spare weapon in normal times.
"Equipment auction, you can go and have a look. Then go with me."
"Boss, really? That's great. I used to want to go to Shenfeng's equipment auction, but unfortunately I couldn't even get in the gate of the central villa area. This time I could follow the boss in and see it, it was so great!"
When Zhou Xing heard that Luo Hou was willing to take him to the equipment auction of Shenfeng, he almost jumped up happily.
Seeing Zhou Xing so excited and having a good understanding of weapons before, Luo Hou couldn't help but be curious about what he had done before. He no longer rushed upstairs, but sat on the sofa in the living room and asked:
"By the way, Zhou Xing, what industry did you work in before? It seems that you know a lot about weapons and equipment."
Hearing Luo Hou's question, Zhou Xing's originally excited expression couldn't help but feel disheartened and replied in a low voice:
"Before I met the boss, I had been working as a forging in an unfamous weapon store in the middle area. Later, because of my gambling father, Rong Qichang and others found my place to work and forced me to pay back the money. The owner of the weapon store was afraid of causing trouble, so he fired me on the spot."
Hearing this, Luo Hou's eyes lit up and he interrupted and asked, "How can you actually forge weapons?"
Seeing that Luo Hou asked about this, Zhou Xing proudly straightened his back and replied:
"That's of course, I was the chief forgeator in that weapon shop! My ancestors made a living by making weapons for generations. Later, the country strictly controlled knives, so it changed to making kitchenware and farm tools such as kitchen knives and sickles. However, even so, our family's skills in building weapons were not abandoned."
So that's it, Luo Hou nodded and continued, "That's what you say, your skills are still passed down from family. Then your father--"
Zhou Xing knew what Luo Hou was asking, so he continued to explain to Luo Hou.
It turned out that Zhou Xing's father accidentally injured the thumb on his right hand when he was a child and could not hold the hammer, so he did not learn the skills he passed down from home. Later, China was full of business opportunities, and Zhou Xing's father joined others to start a business. He made a fortune in that golden age and had the original capital.
Zhou Xing, who grew up with his grandfather for most of the time, learned his grandfather’s ability to build weapons. Due to the strict management of knives in that era, the weapons Zhou Xing built were immediately destroyed every time.
When Zhou Xing was in his twenties, the kitchen knife he made was already very famous in the local area and had a taste of hard to find. People from a hundred miles away often came here to buy a kitchen knife made by Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing's father's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he gradually gains a net worth of tens of millions.
However, the sudden arrival of the end of the world completely drove Zhou Xing's father into the abyss. He was unable to become an evolver and could only rely on his son to work hard outside every day and then earn money to support him.
The huge psychological gap and the despair brought by the inability to become an evolutionist wiped out the heroic spirit in Zhou Xing's father's heart, and slowly turned into a bad gambling who only knew how to gambling all day long. In the end, his son even lost his job. If it weren't for the appearance of Luo Hou, the father and son would have been wiped out by Rong Qichang, who had received the ancient sword.
After listening to Zhou Xing’s narration, Luo Hou couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t expect that the little brother he accepted would have such a sad past.
Suddenly, Luo Hou's heart moved and asked Zhou Xing: "Have you ever thought about opening his own weapon store?"
"I think! Of course I think." Zhou Xing shook his head in frustration, "Since the end of the world, my biggest dream in my heart is to open a weapon store of my own. However, my father and I have no strength and no capital, where can we start?"
When he mentioned this, Zhou Xing's mood became even more depressed. He thought that he was a rich second generation at the time and lived a very enjoyable life, but unexpectedly, the end of the world suddenly came, knocking him and his father and son to dust from heaven.
"Let's do this, I'll sponsor you to open a weapon workshop. You are proficient in building weapons yourself, and you can support the shop if you find a few apprentices. Moreover, didn't your father go through business? Then there's no need to worry about management. As long as you have good skills, you won't have to worry about not being able to make money in the future."
"Boss, are you telling the truth?" Zhou Xing asked in dismay with his eyes widened.
Luo Hou smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. I've had nothing to do to make fun of you all day after eating, right?"
"If you really want to do it, go and discuss it with your father tomorrow, and then find a store, buy equipment, etc. and tell me how much it costs. Of course, this money is not lent to you free of charge. At that time, we will be half of the shares of the new store, and you father and son will provide technology and management. I will only be responsible for paying the money."
"Thank you, thank you! You are so wise, don't worry, I promise you won't let you down!"
Seeing that Luo Hou really wanted to sponsor himself to open a weapon store, Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing excitedly.
If it wasn't for the late time, Zhou Xing couldn't help but go to find his father so that he could tell him the good news immediately and ask him to come out to take charge of business affairs.
"Okay, this matter can't be done in just a few days. You don't have to be so excited that you can't sleep tonight. Let's make a plan first, and we will start preparing after the auction of Shenfeng Auction House."
After giving a few instructions, Luo Hou threw down Zhou Xing, who was excited and went upstairs by himself.
Zhou Xing, whose dream is about to be fulfilled, is destined to be unable to fall asleep this night.
