The Impossible Deadline
Wang Chong is dealing with a new client named Anthony. Anthony is an Italian guy and a total hopeless romantic. He comes to Wang Chong with a massive request. He wants a batch of adaptive solar lamps. That sounds fine on paper. But there is a catch. He needs them in five days.

He also plans to finally propose to her. Wang Chong looks at the timeline. He realizes it is impossible. He rejects the order on the spot. Anthony is crushed.
Hunting for Resources
Wang Chong feels bad. He gets a sudden idea. He takes Anthony to see a local computer prodigy. This kid is the grandson of an old Chinese medicine doctor. Wang Chong explains they need a design for an energy-saving lamp. The kid is not interested. He refuses to help. He even tells Anthony to go ask his grandfather for some herbal medicine to calm down.
They move on to the next contact. They visit Ouyang Fa. People call him the Recycling King. He is about to ship a bunch of solar panels and lithium batteries overseas. Wang Chong tries to negotiate. They argue about the price. They leave with nothing.
Next, they visit Steven. He owns a lamp factory. They ask to borrow 75 workers and a production line. Steven listens to the story about Adele. He is moved by the romance. But business is business. His factory is swamped with orders. He cannot spare the manpower.
The Turnaround
Wang Chong and Anthony are out of options. They sit there feeling defeated. Suddenly, their luck turns. Ouyang Fa, Steven, and the computer prodigy all show up together. The kid actually ran the numbers. He designed a lamp that saves forty percent more energy.
The others pitch in too. Ouyang Fa agrees to sell the panels and batteries at half price. Steven clears out two production lines for them. Wang Chong and Anthony are ecstatic. They start production immediately. The team works hard. They finish manufacturing five thousand lamps. Now they just need to assemble them. The mood is high.
