Urban: Hard Work Pays Off, Building a Scientific and Technological Superpower!

Gao Nian was reborn on the day he failed the 2007 college entrance exam. He had only 400 yuan left, but he was bound to the Hard Work Pays Off System: every study session earned experience points, and once a skill reached the entry level, he could upgrade it. He didn't go to work in an electronics factory or join an assembly line. Instead, he took his fellow villager Gao Peng to the computer mall in Guancheng and made money by assembling computers for customers. Their first job took just two hours and netted them 200 yuan, what an ordinary factory worker would earn in three or four days.

They made 8,000 yuan in four days, but their pricing-sheet model was quickly copied by their competitors, who started poaching customers. Lao He, owner of Tongcheng Computers, copied their business model and slandered their reputation. Gao Nian didn't argue or make a fuss. He posted a photo of a pricing sheet in the computer mall owners' QQ group, pointing out that "public price comparisons will ruin everyone's business." The next day, competitors from the entire street surrounded Lao He outside his shop, and he was so furious he fainted on the spot and was sent to the hospital. Gao Nian turned his attention to the shop in that prime location: the monthly rent was 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and taking it over would cost at least 100,000. But he thought the money was well spent.

That night, Intel's general agent He Juncheng arranged to meet him at the Prince Hotel, making it clear that he was there to stand up for his brother-in-law.
