100: Huaxia Society visits

Night receded.

Brilliant golden light, rising from the east, illuminated all directions.

Guo Li Steel Factory.

Inside the workshop where the machine tools were placed.

The clanging of metal was rising and falling.

Li Mubai held an iron hammer, tapping a part to make it fit snugly with another part.

These were parts needed for an automated parts processing production line.

He was working with enthusiasm.

Old Xiao, however, suddenly appeared silently behind him.

"Boss Li, someone else has come to visit again."

Holy crap!

Li Mubai was concentrating on his work, and the sudden voice from behind startled him, causing the iron hammer in his hand to skew and strike directly onto the concrete floor.

Bang—

The smooth concrete floor was struck, sending stone chips flying, and a fist-sized pit appeared.

"Old Xiao, why do you walk without a sound?"

Li Mubai turned to look at Old Xiao, a hint of complaint in his tone.

"Boss Li, I do make sounds when I walk, but you were too engrossed to hear my footsteps."

Old Xiao was a bit helpless.

To be blamed for this was an injustice, a huge injustice!

Huh?

Is that so?

Li Mubai awkwardly rubbed his nose, then shrewdly changed the subject:

"By the way, which company needs to visit this time? If it's a small company, then forget it; just say I'm not here."

Half a month had passed since the news fermented.

During this time, not a few entrepreneurs had come to visit.

On average, dozens of people would come daily to visit and see the Numerical Control Machine Tool.

Many large enterprises, after visiting the Numerical Control Machine Tool, even directly discussed cooperation.

Therefore.

Currently, the Steel Factory had accumulated many large orders.

The parts required by these companies, even now, the Steel Factory hadn't even started producing them.

So.

He simply temporarily rejected orders from small companies.

Currently.

He needed to dedicate all his time to making the automated parts processing production line.

Right now, he was the only one in the factory.

So the progress of production was very slow.

It would take at least another month to complete, and he didn't have that much time now to receive these people.

In fact.

Ruan Xiu had already rejected these micro-enterprises over the phone.

However.

These people still managed to find their way to the Steel Factory's gate after inquiring.

Initially.

Li Mubai would still go out to receive them.

But as more and more people came, he found that he didn't even have time to research and develop the automated production line.

So he instructed Old Xiao to directly refuse meetings with these micro-enterprises.

The reason for such a blanket refusal was that these people all came to visit the machine tools or directly to discuss cooperation.

And the location where the machine tools were placed was precisely where he was developing the automated production line equipment.

Fortunately.

He simply refused visits from these small companies and then focused on developing the equipment.

"Boss Li, the visitors this time are not a company."

Old Xiao explained.

"Oh? Not a company, then who is it? People from the military?"

If it were the military.

Li Mubai would still need to make time to meet them, as these people could not be offended.

They were all potential big orders!

"It's not the military either; it's people from the China News Agency, a fat man. He told the guard he came to apologize. Do you want to go out and see him? After all, the China News Agency is the largest newspaper agency in the country."

Hearing this.

Li Mubai's face showed a serious expression.

The China News Agency, wasn't that the newspaper agency that was clamoring for five million over the phone?

Now they've come to apologize, how interesting.

Thinking of this.

Li Mubai smiled slightly and placed the iron hammer on the ground.

"Let's go, let's go out and see."

With that.

He led the way out of the workshop, with Old Xiao following closely behind, and the two unhurriedly walked towards the factory gate.

At the main entrance.

Chief Editor Xie Guanglai, Editor-in-Chief of the China News Agency.

He was currently standing under the scorching sun, waiting intently at the main entrance.

The hot weather caused sweat to constantly seep from his forehead, forming beads that flowed down, completely soaking the collar of his shirt and making it cling to his skin.

Even though he was drenched in sweat, he didn't let his assistant hold an umbrella for him.

He just exposed himself to the bright sun, letting the summer heat rage on his body, heedless of it.

His assistant came up to advise him to go back to the car to escape the sun.

However.

These dissuasions were all righteously rejected by him.

He believed that an apology should look like an apology; otherwise, why would others forgive their newspaper's mistakes?

Before long.

Chief Editor Xie Guanglai, who was looking at the factory gate, showed a look of joy on his face.

He saw two people at the factory entrance, slowly walking towards the gate where he was.

These two people were Li Mubai and Old Xiao.

Having just walked out of the factory area, and before reaching the main gate, Li Mubai saw Chief Editor Xie Guanglai under the sun.

Seeing the other party's plump figure, he knew that this person must be a high-ranking official of the Huaxia News Agency.

It wasn't that he had a discerning eye.

It's just that for ordinary people, unless they eat big fish and meat every meal, and constantly drink and smoke, it's basically impossible to get very fat.

Only those who have some say.

Will, due to others' invitations, spend every meal at dinner parties and banquets, gesturing grandly and lacking exercise.

Over time.

Such unhealthy lifestyle habits will naturally make a person grow as fat as a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Just arriving at the entrance.

Li Mubai saw Chief Editor Xie Guanglai with a slight smile on his face.

"Hello, I am Chief Editor Xie Guanglai, Editor-in-Chief of the Huaxia News Agency. May I ask your esteemed names?"

One does not hit a smiling face.

Old Xiao raised his hand in a palm gesture, pointing to Li Mubai, with a respectful expression.

"This is our Boss Li of Guo Li Steel Factory. You can just call him Boss Li."

After Old Xiao finished speaking, he said no more.

He did not introduce himself, only introduced Li Mubai.

Upon hearing this.

Chief Editor Xie Guanglai was full of admiration:

"You are the developer of the Numerical Control Machine Tool?

I've heard so much about you!

Such a difficult problem, yet you solved it so easily; truly a hero in his youth!

"

"Editor-in-Chief Xie, you flatter me; I'm not that amazing."

Saying that.

Li Mubai cast a glance at the gatekeeper, who immediately understood and opened the iron gate that stood between the two parties.

With no iron gate blocking the way.

Chief Editor Xie Guanglai immediately stepped forward, his fat jiggling, and the sweat on his face dripped to the ground, instantly evaporating.

The weather outside was truly too hot.

These two months were the hottest period of summer.

"It's too hot outside, Editor-in-Chief Xie, let's go inside and talk."

Li Mubai invited.

"Good, good!"

Chief Editor Xie Guanglai nodded repeatedly.

He had been exposed to the sun for nearly ten minutes.

Such a scorching sun made him see stars, and he felt dizzy, as if he would collapse at any moment.

Now, hearing Li Mubai's invitation, he naturally agreed with joy.

He understood that the other party inviting him in meant that there was a possibility of forgiving the China News Agency.

Later, if he maintained a humble attitude and pleaded softly, he would naturally earn the other party's forgiveness.

Thus.

When discussing the exclusive interview with the other party, it would most likely succeed!
