“Take a look at this garage-style warehouse. If you’re using it solely to parks the electronic equipment and let them run 24/7, this place is going to be the most suitable one you’ll ever get,” said Uncle Su. He was the person in charge of handling this on behalf of the provincial department office.
“Look at the ventilation system. It should be working after servicing it. Since this place used to be where the car assembling factory keep its completely-built unit, the factor of ventilation, space, power supply, and access were all considered.”
“In the future, if you’ll like to expand, it won’t be a problem because this dividing wall can be removed with the correct approval and equipment. You won’t be needed to get prior access from the provincial department office before doing so.” Uncle Su continued to do his best to rent this place out to Zhang Qin Feng.
“What do you think, Feng?” Wang Yufei asked. Although this place was a little far from where they’re staying, it was well equipped and suitable for Zhang Qin Feng to start his venture.
With only 5,000 dollars a month in rent, this place could be rolling in cash when it was running at a 100% potential once all the hardware filled this garage-like workshop.
Based on the size of the equipment, Wang Yufei could roughly assume that it would be enough to house at least a hundred to two hundred standalone hardware to start.
(Note to readers, this is not how crypto mining really works. I’ve created it to smoothen the storyline as it was one of the hottest ways of getting quick money for our mc. Gambling was out of the question because of its negative impression, and of course, loanshark activities, hacking, whatsoever is all a big No-No.)
But what Wang Yufei failed to notice is that Zhang Qin Feng is not looking forward to relying on those relics at all.
With Stein as the core system controlling how hard the hardware works, all Zhang Qin Feng need is to procure durable hardware from his side. After all, not all hardware is built to last. Not all of them were designed with the mentality of withstanding future technology.
“This place is perfect for the startup. I have no other questions so far as all the advantages of renting this place for mining purposes were covered while we’re viewing this rental unit.” Zhang Qin Feng nodded in approval.
“Let’s get it as soon as we can to start the project.” Zhang Qin Feng shows a hint of eagerness in his facial expression.
Even if it wasn’t that perfect, it doesn’t matter. All Zhang Qin Feng needed is a place suitable to hide the fact behind the ridiculous energy consumption he’s going to use. It will be challenging to hide once the equipment was running at 100% efficiency when the process started.
“Then, we’ll be taking this place, Uncle Su. Please prepare the document so we can take this place before someone else show an interest in it.” Wang Yufei proceeds to handle the remaining paperwork with Uncle Su while Zhang Qin Feng studied the layout of this place.
‘Stein. What do you think about this place?’ Zhang Qin Feng asked the system softly as he plans how to set the mining rig up. But first of all, he will have to order and scour all the available desktop sets from the nearby electronic stores.
[Above average. An engineer will be needed to do some rewiring before we can use this place to its potential. Advising that the user prepares to fork out some money to add a temporary bedroom here]
[The system will begin to check the availability of advised hardware in the market for purchase. Please get this place ready by that time. Some quick adjustment ideas will be given to the user to helps with what kind of upgrading is needed]
After keeping Zhang Qin Feng updated with what he had to do, the two finally returned to Zhang Qin Feng’s side. In Wang Yufei’s hand was an envelope with relevant documents related to the rental of this place.
“Since the paperwork is done, I’ll hand this set of keys to you for now. You’re allowed to change the locks or shutters based on your needs, but a copy will have to be given to the Provincial Office.”
“Also, please keep in mind again that this place is solely for electronic, assembly, and technology purposes. No gas equipment, such as a gas stove, is allowed here unless it’s for private uses.”
“Furthermore, please make sure that this is for legal investment only. Any activities tied with the act of terrorism, drug dealing, smuggling, or gambling will have this place shut down immediately.”
“I hope you’ll take this matter seriously, as the country is still in concern due to the recent bombing and terrorist attack in the city of Nobleheim.” Uncle Su finished his reminder and decided that would be enough.
Anything else is written clearly on the contract, where Zhang Qin Feng can spend some time reading them.
After making sure that the two will be fine on their own, Uncle Su left in his car first, followed by the other two few minutes after that.
“When would you like to move in, Feng?” Wang Yufei asked. She knew that he will get busier soon. Since he had no driving license with him, it will be hard for Zhang Qin Feng to commute between the two places daily.
“I’ll have to see how early I manage to get the hardware needed to set up this place. There’ll be a renovation, rewiring, cleaning, and servicing to be done too, so I’m thinking of completing everything before Monday,” said Zhang Qin Feng.
“Then… Let me know whenever you need my help to move things around. I’ll get you in touch with some electrician, shop renovator, cleaning companies, and others when we returned to the restaurant.” she said. In a moment there, she noticed that Zhang Qin Feng seems to mature a little from everything he said.
‘He’s quite efficient, I think…’ Wang Yufei smiled.
