Chapter 104 Daily Life

"Then hurry up and tell me! What are you dawdling for? Are you deliberately keeping me in suspense?"

Liu Xiaodong's impatient look pleased him greatly.

Guo Shugui watched calmly, but eventually couldn't stand his dawdling and gave Liu Xiaodong a meaningful look.

"Hey, hey, don't hit me! I'll talk, I'll talk now!"

Seeing the two of them stand up from the sofa at the same time, wanting to walk towards him, he immediately said.

After hearing his words, the two sat down again.

He abandoned his plan to continue flirting and addressed the two of them.

"That's right, as you should know,"

There is no industrial land left around the county town, so why don't we start looking in the townships?

There isn't a single well-known enterprise in our town; it's a small town primarily reliant on primary industry.

There must be a lot of industrial land quotas in the town, and as far as I know, there's a lot of saline-alkali land that can't be used for farming.

Moreover, it is close to the highway entrance, and there are two provincial highways and one national highway nearby.

It is only 65 kilometers away from the braised chicken market and closer to the train station than the county seat.

I think we should consider this?

After the two listened, Guo Shugui made no move.

But Liu Xiaodong ran to a cabinet and took out a map from it.

The map was spread out, allowing them to see the entire hometown of calligraphy and painting in a clear and intuitive way.

Liu Xiaodong moved his hand to the summer village, picked up a marker, and marked everything that Li Zhenhua had just said on the map.

The location here is indeed very convenient, and there's a train station nearby.

Road transport is also very convenient, and if you choose a rural town, the land price will be very cheap.

A plot of land of the same size might only cost tens of millions to buy in a rural town.

"Zhenhua, you're quite resourceful! I've taken a look, and it actually works!"

Guo Shugui looked at the map and said without looking up.

He wasn't embarrassed at all by the praise and accepted it completely.

"Fatty, I'm leaving the finding of a new factory site to you, and we need to get the factory up and running as quickly as possible."

I'm back with good news this time; I expect the orders will arrive in a few days.

Neither of them knew what was going on, and they both looked at him.

He chuckled before answering.

"At the airshow, Hongdu Aircraft Factory received a large order for a total of one hundred aircraft."

You guys do the math, one plane requires two of our engines, that's a hundred planes!

Moreover, following this large order, there were also a few smaller orders.

There will be at least sixty or seventy aircraft, so our task ahead is very challenging!

Our expansion plan must not be delayed.

We need to get started quickly, otherwise we'll face a situation where we have money but can't get it.

Neither of them felt happy or joyful; all they felt was that he was causing too much trouble, far too much trouble.

When we were riding motorcycles before, I felt like the other person was just making things difficult.

Later, in his pursuit of women, he even brought out the Candle Dragon watch.

Although it hasn't been released to the public, how could Guo Shugui not recognize its value?

I thought this was the ultimate level of experimentation, but now I've actually secured an order for over three hundred engines.

They need to focus on production now, so instead of thinking about giving the workers a break, they should actually increase their wages.

Fight to the death!

In Liu Xiaodong's temporary office, the three of them finalized the details of the company's factory location.

Liu Xiaodong is going to be very busy this time. He has to go to the town to deal with land issues, but he doesn't know if the development zone management committee will let their company leave.

Liu Xiaodong sighed and looked at Guo Shugui beside him.

"Guoba, I really can't handle this by myself this time. I'm stretched too thin."

Your sales team is on track now. Come with me to work on the land acquisition.

Besides, you're an industry insider, so the project can be handed over to your dad's green car!

Guo Shugui originally wanted to take a good rest for a while, but he didn't know how to refuse Liu Xiaodong's invitation.

This is beneficial to both the company and him personally, and by entrusting him with the construction project of the factory, he has also secured a business deal for his father.

He nodded to Liu Xiaodong, then suddenly turned to look at Li Zhenhua and pointed at him.

"Fatty, I'm going with you. So what's this 'living father' who's been causing us trouble doing?"

We'd better keep a close eye on him this time, and make sure he doesn't come up with any new business for us.

I really can't take it anymore. At this rate, even ten of me couldn't handle it!

The fat man beside him strongly agreed, patting Guo Shugui on the shoulder across the sofa armrest.

"Alright, you two, this time I'll definitely stay home obediently."

I'm not going anywhere, and besides, I didn't do it on purpose!

His voice grew weaker and weaker as he spoke.

"You're just going to agree to let him stay home like that, Fatty?"

"Let him stay home quietly. What if he goes out again and sees something he likes, and then gets itchy hands and wants to make it himself?"

His fate as chairman was decided by two minority shareholders.

It means staying home obediently and not moving around.

While Liu Xiaodong and Guo Shugui were discussing the site, he idly wandered around the factory a few times.

Afterwards, he returned to his makeshift office and picked up the company's operational status for the past month from his desk to review it.

Currently, Kyushu Divine Beasts Company has two major projects, though you could actually consider them one.

One of their main businesses is motorcycles. The other is aircraft engines.

In the past few months, their company has produced and sold a total of 20,000 motorcycles.

Most of them were exported overseas through import and export companies, disguised as smuggled goods, and the vehicle's infotainment system did not come pre-installed with English.

At that time, Guo Shugui had not yet established an overseas motorcycle sales department, so these motorcycles were all bought by scalpers and then sold to these companies for export.

In China, not many people actually buy motorcycles to ride or enjoy themselves.

One issue is the relatively high price, limiting its appeal; the other is the excessive weight, making it unsuitable for those who are physically weak or short.

In China, people who drive these kinds of cars are usually from wealthy families and are also quite tall.

I flipped through the documents page by page, and soon reached the last page, which listed things like turnover, net income, and taxes paid.

Skip over information that doesn't interest you and focus directly on the net income column.

This number is not an integer; it translates to 4e9.

Four billion Chinese yuan. Somewhat disbelieving, he closed the file and saw the file name: Semi-annual report.

In other words, their income reached 4 billion yuan in just six months, even after taxes and other expenses have been deducted.

If we look at revenue, the number is definitely higher!

"I guess I can call myself financially independent now. I never imagined that after graduating from such a terrible school..."

I reached the pinnacle of my life in less than six months, and now I have a beautiful woman by my side.

Having achieved financial freedom, shouldn't I sort out my educational background?

"Yes, we still need to plan this carefully; we can't panic!"

He was in his office, talking to himself, and only he could hear the last few words.

With so much net income, and the company having been operating for half a year.

Thinking about this, he felt that receiving a share of the profits was acceptable!

He kept this in mind and would discuss it with the two shareholders later.

After reviewing a month's worth of unprocessed documents, and finding nothing else to do in the office, I went to the workshop to check on the production situation.

Inside the workshop, many workers, dressed in work clothes, were busy with their respective tasks.

Stop for a moment before each process and chat with the worker in that process. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can tell them directly.

It can be considered as showing concern for subordinates; after asking around, it wasn't without any results.

One worker suggested that the company should provide dormitory accommodation, since they work in three shifts.

If you are too tired, you can stay in your dorm and rest instead of going home.

Another suggestion was made regarding the assembly line; he felt the worktable for that particular process was uncomfortable.

Standing with a bent-over posture for extended periods of time will definitely have adverse effects.

He also experienced that process for more than ten minutes and felt the discomfort as well.

He noted down the problem and planned to find a solution to it when he got back.

Finally, he moved to his own little workshop—no, this place couldn't really be considered his anymore.

It should be renamed the aircraft engine workshop, because it has become a place for producing aircraft engines.

Looking at this small workshop, he seemed to have discovered another job he should do, and one that he absolutely had to do.

If he hadn't taken a stroll around the factory, he really wouldn't have remembered this.

This is a problem with the aircraft engine production line; he should start manufacturing it now.

If this isn't arranged now, once Hongdu Factory ramps up production, their output really won't be able to keep up.

After quickly taking a look around the small workshop and finding no problems, I went straight to Li Yun's office.

He couldn't handle the production line himself; he could only manage the hardware. The software part still had to be handled by Li Yun.

Although he had learned some software programming, he wasn't good at it.

Even in a virtual lab, with the help of analytical tools, he still couldn't get good at software programming.

The small workshop is unusable because it has already been occupied by the production of aero-engines.

He could only partition off a small room in a corner of the large workshop and move some manufacturing equipment inside.

This little house will be his private area from now on. Looking at the equipment that has already been filled with it, he couldn't help but mutter to himself about the cramped space.

"After we move to our new house, I will definitely design a special laboratory for myself."

No one can enter without my permission!

Looking at the cramped space, the equipment for manufacturing aircraft engines will be born here in the future.

As for the engine production line, he has already tested it in the virtual laboratory. It's a complete production line with very few flaws.

Now all that's left is for him to make it, and once it's made, it will need software to work with it, which depends on Li Yun.

Li Yun knew what task he was going to have, after all, this was not the first time he had done this kind of programming, and he had also designed the software for the motorcycle production line last time.

After get off work in the evening, I returned to the blacksmith's shop and went to a room on the second floor that served as a living room.

He sat on a wooden sofa covered with cushions, watching TV with Li Yun.

Half an hour before the official start, Li Yun had already locked the channel to Kyushu TV, which was broadcasting the news at that time.

"Recently, in our country..."
