After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Those words provoked the workers, who picked up their tools and prepared to fight with Xie Jiang.

The workers behind Xie Jiang were no pushovers either; seeing the confrontation, they casually picked up the rebars from the ground.

Chen Yu cleared his throat, "As I said just now, I will take care of your wages. Bring out all the contracts you signed with Boss Hou, and I\'ll need you to give me a receipt as well."

The leader, a middle-aged man, looked at Chen Yu coldly, "Kid, you\'re still wet behind the ears, stop trying to act capable. That\'s 1.9 million, not 190 yuan. You think you can just say you\'ll take care of it? Show us the money first."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and then opened the current account page on his cellphone.

When the middle-aged man saw the figure displayed, he was taken aback and his attitude immediately changed.

"Oh wow, we really have a big boss here!"

"Cut the crap!" Chen Yu said impatiently, "Bring out what I just asked for."

"Alright, here you go!" The middle-aged man quickly unslung the leather bag he was carrying and dumped out a thick stack of contracts.

After Chen Yu received the receipt and confirmed there were no issues with the contracts, he transferred the 1.9 million.

The middle-aged man looked at his account balance with glee before looking back up at Chen Yu with a gaze that suggested he saw him as a sucker.

"I\'ll give you a piece of advice, boss. This factory is a money pit. Now that you\'ve bought it, you should make a clean break from Boss Hou and not be a fool continually pouring money into it!"

"My business is none of your concern. Now, we\'re done here, so please leave. Otherwise, I\'ll have to accuse you of trespassing."

The middle-aged man didn\'t say anything more, hurriedly herding his people out and hastily leaving.

Hou Jianchang looked helpless, "Chen, sorry for causing you trouble!"

Chen Yu patted his shoulder, "No worries, as long as we get the factory up and running soon, these troubles will pass."

In fact, Chen Yu was interested in Hou Jianchang himself.

Ten years ago, media all over Suzhou City was filled with news about Hou Jianchang – the overseas returnee who invested in building a factory, a paragon of industry ethics, a business prodigy!

Hou Jianchang even made it onto the list of Suzhou City\'s wealthiest for a time.

If it weren\'t for being trapped by a coalition against him, he wouldn\'t have ended up in this situation.

But his talent and experience are undeniable assets, things that even Chen Yu doesn\'t have.

That is why Chen Yu gave him a thirty-six percent share right off the bat.

At 8 p.m., as the first machine passed the operational test, other machines also started up one after another.

"Congratulations, Host, for completing a day of business. Since costs exceeded profits, no points will be added for now."

It seemed the system still hadn\'t incorporated the factory into its system.

Chen Yu didn\'t think too much of it and picked up the phone to call the previous raw material supplier.

Now that the factory had started, he was not sure whether the previous suppliers could guarantee the supply.

To his surprise, the person on the other end picked up the phone, absolutely thrilled, and immediately agreed to the big order.

After all, an order worth a hundred million would make anyone come over and sign without conditions.

Chen Yu didn\'t transfer all the money but only paid a deposit of thirty million. The supplier promised to deliver all the raw materials Chen Yu needed to the factory in batches within three days.

By 9 p.m., after Xie Jiang arranged for the workers to settle into temporary shelters nearby, he changed his clothes and joined Chen Yu.

"Old Chen, I\'ve been working outside for more than a week now, can I take a look at your factory today? I\'ll just have a quick look from the outside."

Chen Yu smiled, patted Xie Jiang on the shoulder, and then grabbed Zhang Fan who was beside him.

"The factory wouldn\'t have opened without the two of you pitching in; what\'s the harm in taking a tour?"

The group laughed and talked as they entered the factory.

The night-shift workers had already started arriving, but it was only then that they realized the familiar assembly lines had been dismantled, replaced with new machines.

Chen Yu then gathered all the night-shift workers to explain the function and operating rules of all the machinery.

By ten o\'clock that evening, the first batch of raw materials was smoothly delivered to the factory.

Hou Jianchang immediately organized workers to move the raw materials into the cold storage.

Under Chen Yu\'s direction, all the machinery then began to roar into action.

Following Chen Yu\'s earlier explanations, the workers carefully placed the raw materials into the machines.

Although the machines appeared to be extremely complex, they were actually very simple to operate.

Workers at each stage of the process only needed to take the raw materials at hand and toss them in.

By midnight, all the night-shift workers had become familiar with operating these machines.

Xie Jiang and Zhang Fan were witnessing the whole factory\'s operations from up close for the first time, and it was also their first time seeing so many new types of machinery.

Even well into the night, the two were incredibly excited.

Hou Jianchang was the most excited of all.

His previous food processing factory had already developed its own system, poised for grand achievements, only to be capsized unexpectedly.

Looking at the scene before him, he knew he could finally make a comeback!

Not until two in the morning did Zhang Fan and Xie Jiang leave the factory.

Chen Yu and Hou Jianchang, on the other hand, stayed up the entire night watching; after all, since the machinery was new, Chen Yu worried that some workers might not understand how to operate it.

However, his worries were clearly unnecessary. Thanks to the many years of training by Hou Jianchang, all the workers were skilled technicians.

Any machinery related to food, they only needed to watch once to be able to handle it with ease.

Moreover, that night, all the workers formed an effective assembly line.

From taking raw materials out of the storeroom to the finished products entering the cold storage—all was clear at a glance.

Hou Jianchang was starting to feel exhausted, but he did not leave, instead choosing to rest in a corner of the factory building.

Chen Yu did not leave either, as he needed to hand over the entire process to the day-shift workers in the morning.

"Old Hou, how does my set of machinery compare to what you had before?"

Hou Jianchang rubbed his eyes and gave a thumbs-up.

"Great, all the design elements interlock beautifully and ingeniously, saving a lot of manpower, and the output tonight has been five times higher than what I managed before."

Chen Yu smiled, "This is just a portion of the machinery. Once the factory area next to us is built and all the machinery is set up, our output can increase several times more."

Hou Jianchang got excited, when suddenly, he realized a severe problem

Where were they going to sell all these products?
