Moreover, Bob can't afford wages now, so he can only collaborate with others in business, and there's no better choice than his high school friend, Li Laite.
However, Li Laite also has his own concerns. As a student who was educated in East Africa's low-cost compulsory education system, he spent most of his time wasting away at school, so he still hopes to have a stable job.
Li Laite was assigned the job of a factory worker at a furniture factory, which was no better than Bob's hemp textile factory. But Li Laite considers himself quite capable of enduring hardship, after all, in East African secondary education, most students have a physical condition above the qualified line. Although not as good as many in Europe who were child laborers due to family reasons from a young age, they're not the type to be weak bookworms who can't handle manual work.
