LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 7: Purchasing Equipment
After reading the introduction to the safe house, Zhang Yi immediately selected the services he needed.
Firstly, for the whole-house reinforcement, the materials of his house would be completely replaced. The walls, ceilings, and floors would all be made of 200mm-thick alloy, directly replacing the original walls. This was an aerospace material, with a weight only one-third that of steel, but its strength was ten times that of refined steel! Using this material to build the safe house could just fit into the building where Zhang Yi lived, and there would be no problem of excessive load-bearing.
The window glass used was the best bulletproof glass in the world today.
Secondly, for the ventilation system, the function of air filtration was added uniformly. No harmful gases could invade from the outside.
Finally, there was a full set of monitoring systems that could monitor both the inside and outside of the house in all directions without any blind spots.
And all the doors were replaced with thick anti-theft doors made of the same material as those of bank vaults. It would be very difficult to blast them open even with small bombs.
In short, Zhang Yi had only one requirement - that was to turn his house into an impregnable fortress that no one could invade!
After ticking these items, Zhang Yi handed the computer to Wu Huairen.
After reading it, Wu Huairen couldn't help but widen his eyes.
A house with only 120 square meters was being built as solid as an iron barrel.
"With weapons added, this is simply a fortress!" Wu Huairen murmured.
Hearing these words, Zhang Yi's eyes sparkled.
"Oh, do you have any research on fortresses?"
Wu Huairen chuckled and said, "I used to be a mercenary abroad and was quite familiar with military weapons and related knowledge."
A flash of inspiration crossed Zhang Yi's mind.
Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said to Wu Huairen, "Then do you have a way to get guns?"
This sentence made Wu Huairen's expression turn serious.
In China, private ownership of firearms is not allowed.
"Mr. Zhang, you should understand that, in principle, such things are not allowed to be privately owned." Wu Huairen also said in a low voice.
"Have you encountered some terrible enemies, which makes you so scared?"
Zhang Yi took advantage of the situation to make up an excuse.
"Yes, I've offended some people in the underworld. They are extremely ruthless and have guns in their hands."
"I was just thinking whether I could also get some guns for self-defense. Otherwise, it would be a problem if I could only hide in the house and get beaten."
Wu Huairen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. We are a legitimate company."
However, from Wu Huairen's eyes, Zhang Yi could tell that it wasn't that he couldn't get guns, but that he didn't want to get involved in this mess.
Zhang Yi took a deep breath.
Then he said to Wu Huairen, "The safe house project I'm doing will cost more than eight million yuan. If something still goes wrong with me later, it won't be good for your company's reputation either."
He stared at Wu Huairen and said word by word, "I just want something for self-defense. If you can help me with this, I won't treat you unfairly."
Wu Huairen didn't say anything. He frowned, weighing this matter.
Of course, he had some connections.
However, he didn't know Zhang Yi's background, so he didn't dare to introduce it to Zhang Yi easily.
"Please go back first. Although I can't handle this matter myself, I can help you inquire about it. If there's any news, I'll contact you."
Apparently, Wu Huairen couldn't make up his mind for the moment.
However, Zhang Yi didn't push too hard either. Guns were indeed something that required caution.
He smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll wait for your news."
"By the way, I'm in a hurry about this matter. Please come and help me build the safe house as soon as possible."
Wu Huairen said, "It will take at most half a month for us to build it for you."
After talking with Wu Huairen, Zhang Yi signed the contract on the spot.
Similarly, he paid a deposit of one million yuan.
As for the remaining balance, well, there would be no chance to pay it in this lifetime.
After leaving the Zhanlong Security Company.
The housing problem was basically solved.
Next, Zhang Yi got back into his car and called an acquaintance named Liu Yang.
Liu Yang ran a hunting ground in Tianhai City.
He had contracted several hundred acres of land in the Western Mountains and stocked it with various harmless small animals. Usually, people could go in there to hunt for entertainment.
He had many crossbows, compound bows, and air guns obtained through legal channels in his hands.
Zhang Yi had been there to play several times before, so he had Liu Yang's contact information.
He called Liu Yang and asked him to help buy a batch for him and offered to buy them at a premium price.
Liu Yang was a businessman, and besides, he sometimes needed to ask Zhang Yi for favors, so he readily agreed to this matter.
"Brother Zhang, what are you buying so many weapons for? These things can only be used for hunting or for fun. You can't use them to hurt people!" Liu Yang asked with a smile, but there was a bit of caution in his words.
After all, the things were sold by him.
In case Zhang Yi used these weapons to hurt people later, he would also get into trouble.
Of course, the person who could open a hunting ground in Tianhai City naturally had some background.
However, there was no need for him to take risks for Zhang Yi, just an ordinary friend.
Zhang Yi laughed and casually made up an excuse: "You're overthinking it! I've invited some friends and we'll go hunting in an African wildlife park in a while. So I need to get more equipment!"
Liu Yang clicked his tongue twice: "Oh, Brother Zhang, you really know how to have fun! But there are quite a lot of lions and hyenas in Africa. Be careful!"
"Yeah, yeah. Then it's settled. How soon can you get the things ready for me?"
"Hey, I have them in stock. You can come and pick them up when you're free."
Zhang Yi didn't delay either. He immediately drove to the Western Mountains Hunting Ground and bought the things back.
For him, time was very precious now and couldn't be wasted for a moment.
He bought five refined steel crossbows, three high-end compound bows, and three hundred arrows for each of the bows and crossbows from Liu Yang.
In addition, he also bought two excellent hunting knives.
These were made of Damascus steel, very tough and sharp, and it was extremely difficult to damage them unless they were used to chop hard objects for a long time.
This thing was definitely handy for self-defense (or chopping people)!
All these things filled the entire trunk.
Looking at this large pile of equipment, Zhang Yi immediately felt a strong sense of security in his heart.
Then he drove the car full of equipment back home.
Since they were all purchased through formal channels and he had obtained a hunting certificate for fun before, he wasn't worried about being questioned by the police.
When he got home, it was already dusk.
Zhang Yi went out again and had a sumptuous hot pot meal alone at Haidilao.
Thinking that he would have to make hot pot by himself in the future, he immediately took out his money and ordered 10,000 packs of hot pot base from Haidilao.
The waiters at Haidilao were shocked and thought that Zhang Yi was someone from a rival business who came to make trouble.
Fortunately, Haidilao had good service, so they didn't directly turn against Zhang Yi.
Later, the store manager came over and after asking Zhang Yi a few questions, accepted the order.
However, the condition was that it had to be paid in cash to prevent Zhang Yi from being someone sent by a rival business to cause trouble.
Zhang Yi was very straightforward and paid over one million yuan on the spot.
Such a generous move made the store manager grin from ear to ear, and he even gave Zhang Yi an additional 500 packs as a gift.
