Chapter 4: Rise Point.

After seeing off the Taxi Driver, Nikolai saw the place in front of him.

In front of him, there is an old factory building with a concrete structure and a small two-story building.

The outer wall of the factory is covered in vines, the factory is illuminated by neon lights that hang around the area.

In the front of the factory is a large neon sign "Rustic Metalworks".

Obviously this is the factory of the company called Rustic Metalworks.

The plant occupies an area of ​​1,000 square meters and also has a patio of 20,000 square meters. However, the gate in the courtyard wall is long gone due to disrepair and lack of maintenance.

"I take it you are…Nikolai, right?" The plant owner who had been contacted by Nikolai was been waiting for him for quite some time but was disappointed when he saw how young and immature he probably be.

"That's right, I contacted you yesterday to discuss business, Nikolai Petrov." Nikolai said to the balding, middle-aged man and gave him his hand, which he shook slightly in a daze.

"Haha.. Mr.Petrov, you are so young and promising, nice to know you, John Smith." John said as he shook his hand and smiled, even though he looks young, his extensive experience has taught him not to underestimate anyone, regardless of their age or appearance.

Nikolai nodded and said. "Mr. Smith, show me your factory."

"Oh please follow me." John said and led him into the factory.

As they walked inside the factory, Nikolai noticed that the machinery was a bit rusty and the place looked a bit messy, most likely he made some simple repairs to rent the place.

"The factory has an industrial zone of 1,000 cubic meters, it also has a building in the back that can be used as an office, the building consists of two floors." John began to explain the features of the factory while he guided Nikolai through the place.

Nikolai made mental notes and carefully observed the details of the factory as he followed John.

"There is also a large patio of 20,000 meters, so expansion is also possible." suggested John with hidden thoughts.

Nikolai nodded.

Of course, the bald old man's little tricks won't escape his sight, but there's no need to worry about that, so after a long tour of the factory, Nikolai turned to John and said.

"Mr. Smith, I have been impressed by your factory and its facilities, I think it is a suitable place for my needs, I am interested in renting it long term." Nikolai uttered slowly.

John's ears sharpened and his greedy little eyes took in deep, finally, the moment he had been waiting for.

"In that case, I can rent it for $150,000 a year not including maintenance and repair costs. Plus, I'll require a $100,000 deposit." John proposed the offer to him as he maintained his smile.

Nikolai just snorted. "Forget it, the factory is obviously in disrepair... 100,000, consider it or I'll have to visit the next one." Nikolai said.

Actually, this place is quite good, it can accommodate a large number of clones, and it has a large space, so future development is really smooth, but most importantly, privacy can be ensured.

As for the price of 150 thousand dollars? hmph, compared to privacy, even if he asks for 400 thousand, Nikolai would give it directly, of course, these are just things to think about and not say.

Nikolai smiled as he waited for John's response.

"..."

John's face looked as if a bucket of cold water had fallen on him.

"...In that case...how about 130,000?" John said still not giving up.

"Hmph, impossible, at most 100,000." Nikolai said and pretended to leave at that moment.

John's face darkened suddenly, so he hastened to say. "Okay, 100,000 is a good offer!"

"Mm, in that case, let's quickly go to a newsroom to sign." Nikolai said.

"..mm."

John I can only nod silently, there is no way, this place is really a ghost zone, the lack of roads and successful factories have turned this place into a disaster, after some repairs to the factory, already waited for more than three months and no one has bothered to call, if you miss this opportunity, you can only regret.

Also, he heard that this area will be demolished to build a residential community in a few years.

In the next few years, renting and getting some rental money is better than nothing, he is waiting for the compensation for the demolition!

"However, one hundred thousand dollars must be paid in one payment, and a deposit of fifty thousand dollars is also required." John thought for a moment and said.

Two days later, Nikolai, who had already settled the lease, took Kai, who is completely covered in a scarf, jacket, and hat along with sunglasses, to his new home.

Fortunately, it's now December and the atmosphere is cold, so Kai's outfit didn't arouse suspicion.

"Remember, you will contact the construction team tomorrow, they will extend our wall up to 4 meters!" Nikolai pointed to the two-meter-high wall in the factory with dissatisfaction.

This height cannot guarantee privacy in the factory!

"Also, replace the door with a door made of a full surface alloy, not the kind with seams down the middle."

"Also, by the way, arrange for someone to check the power supply and water supply of this factory building."

"And replace the headlights on top!" Nikolai pointed to the factory area.

He now finally understands the feeling of being a boss, it's great without having to do it yourself.

"No, boss, it's not that I contradict you, it's just that if you follow his plan, we probably won't have enough funds to organize this area of ​​the factory and further development." Kai quickly stopped Nikolai's fantasy.
