Chapter 119 The Antarctic Team is Gone

Those following the Camel Kingdom incident are also curious about what type of aircraft it is, and why so many of them were imported at once.

People with short-distance travel needs have also set their sights on this aircraft.

After learning more, I suddenly discovered that this aircraft was actually manufactured in Kyushu, Japan.

Furthermore, its international price is very reasonable, making it a high-value option for people in this social stratum who need a business jet.

On that very day, as the incident unfolded, the sales department of Hongdu kept receiving calls non-stop.

At first, Hongdu had no experience and continued with the usual get off work schedule.

However, when these operators arrived at the company the next day, they found themselves bombarded with 999+ missed calls.

Moreover, judging from the phone numbers alone, the vast majority of these phone numbers are from overseas.

Hongdu Factory also changed its original 12-hour customer service to a 24-hour customer service hotline.

The timing of the calls has also changed from being concentrated during the day to being concentrated at night.

The vast majority of the consultation calls came from North America, though some also came from other smaller countries.

In just three days, Hongdu Factory received orders for more than 100 aircraft from all over the world.

For Hongdu, this is an aircraft order; for Li Zhenhua and his team, it is also an order, only this time it's an engine order.

Li Zhenhua and his companion returned to Dongshan from Haicheng, and both threw themselves into their work upon their return.

He went on a trip and was in great spirits. He went straight to the makeshift house while he was still feeling energetic.

For the production line that has been largely installed in the prefabricated building, only the final debugging stage remains.

Once the equipment is properly debugged and the personnel are in place, it can be started to produce aircraft engines.

At this point, a year had passed since they founded the company.

After a year, their company has grown from nothing to something, and their products have expanded from motorcycles to aircraft engines, and now they also manufacture watches.

After completing the production line debugging, he didn't get much involvement in the company's operations.

He no longer goes to the factory area in the development zone, but instead goes to the new factory site in Shuzhen every day.

Moreover, he also built a new house on the open space behind the blacksmith's shop, which was built entirely in the style of a villa.

Guo Shugui took care of both the factory and his construction team, so at least the quality was guaranteed!

After dealing with all the trivial matters, he began to seriously consider the watch.

This time, Yao Qiang's decision to order a watch from him was completely unexpected.

He also saw the business opportunity in this, considering that Yao Qiang had offered five million for a watch.

He couldn't help but wonder if he could take advantage of this production to make a large batch, though not too many; in his mind, the quantity would not exceed fifty pieces.

He also wanted to increase the brand value of White Tiger Motorcycles, so he randomly selected thirty first-time owners of White Tiger Motorcycles as winners and gave them a Candle Dragon watch.

Mass-produced watches are naturally not very sophisticated, but in his mind, they should be better than ordinary luxury goods.

As for the remaining twenty coins, he had already decided that they could be given as gifts to business partners.

He acted on his idea immediately. He still had plenty of raw materials for making watches, enough for fifty watches.

First of all, he makes custom watches, because people have paid money for them, so he has to be worthy of that money.

The watch made to resemble the one used for drug administration was quite well-made, with a conventional appearance and no particularly special design.

If we're talking about design, then the anchor on the dial is the only notable feature.

An anchor here symbolizes reliability, and for pharmaceutical companies, a reliable company is a good company.

He put a lot of effort into making this watch, but of course it still can't compare to his previous ones!

The men's watch is shaped like an anchor, while the women's watch leans towards the chain; together, they form a complete anchor.

Moreover, just from the names of the watches, one can see that he does not value the two watches: one is called Candle Dragon - Anchor and the other is called Candle Dragon - Chain.

And this was the first time he had added serial numbers to these two watches.

The rose and rose vase are designated as No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. Liu Xiaodong's Zhulong Construction is designated as No. 3, while Guo Shugui's Zhulong Pioneer is designated as No. 4.

As for the last couple sent out, Xingzhou and Shuipan, they were numbers five and six.

Finally, it's time for the custom-made watches. The anchor corresponds to size seven, and the chain corresponds to size eight.

As for the fifty-dollar watch he wanted to make later, it wouldn't even be in the serial number list; he would only be in the serial number list on a watch that was unique in the world.

Having already produced six watches, making the seventh and eighth watches was much simpler.

Once the blueprints are designed, the rest of the manufacturing process shouldn't be a big problem.

After finishing the two high-end custom-made watches last night, he then devoted himself to the design and manufacture of fifty mass-produced watches.

For these fifty watches, Li Zhenhua didn't want to use any expensive materials, but instead chose metal-ceramic steel as the main raw material.

The movement's functions are not complicated; it simply includes a calendar and a dive timer on the dial.

Compared to a custom-made watch, it's simply not in the same league in terms of functionality.

Although there are no special features in terms of materials, the manufacturing and assembly process is the same as the two high-end pieces.

Moreover, the watch has a tiger-like and domineering appearance.

Making fifty watches took him a lot of time, and it took him more than a month to finally finish them all.

Just as he was celebrating the collection of watches, the departure rally for the Antarctic expedition team was successfully held in Beiping, thanks to the support of relevant leaders.

After the meeting, the Antarctic team embarked on their journey to Antarctica.

At the port of Hujiang, an icebreaker was docked. The ship had been undergoing maintenance since returning from the last Antarctic expedition.

On the shore, there were twenty snowmobiles lined up in an orderly queue, waiting to board the boat.

These motorcycles were the ones sponsored by Kyushu Divine Beasts Company, and Hu Xiu even bought some White Tiger 7 snow kits separately.

In November, the Antarctic expedition team departed from Hujiang and began its journey towards Antarctica.

The snowmobiles they sponsored have been secured in the icebreaker. As for whether they are good or not, we'll only know after they've been tested in Antarctica!

After finishing all the watches, he had some free time and was able to visit the new factory site.

He had just arrived at the construction site when he saw Liu Xiaodong walking towards him. The two of them stared at each other in disbelief on the construction site.

"Holy crap, who is this?! Isn't this the number one otaku of the Nine Provinces Divine Beasts?"

How could you bear to leave home?

You've been back for over a month, how come you've been cooped up at home for so long all of a sudden!

Of course, one cannot back down when faced with the other party's sarcasm.

"What do you mean by 'homebody'? I was busy and that's why I didn't come out. Now that I'm all done, of course I have to come out and get some exercise!"
