80: Order completed!

"Mr. Li, can your factory produce these parts?"

Facing this question, Li Mubai smiled confidently, his face beaming: "Of course we can!"

"Good! How about a month's time?"

"According to the requirements on these blueprints, a month and a half should be more than enough."

"Alright, then I'll come to inspect the goods in half a month. If the quality of the goods is good, I'll introduce you to bigger orders."

At this point, Zheng Dafeng's smile vanished, and he suddenly asked: "Oh, what's your card number?"

Li Mubai's action of organizing the blueprints paused.

He hadn't expected the other party to be so generous, to transfer the money so quickly.

Without hesitation, he immediately told the other party his card number.

After tidying up the blueprints, Li Mubai immediately went to Ruan Xiu's office.

This picture is quite consistent with Ruan Xiu in my mind, but her hair color should be black. (Online picture)

Inside the office, Ruan Xiu was busy coding on her computer.

Ever since the Numerical Control Machine Tool came out, her job had changed from a materials science prodigy to a programmer.

The rapid clatter of the keyboard echoed throughout the room, never ceasing.

Knock knock...

Just as Ruan Xiu was fully engrossed in the computer screen, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Her slender, fair fingers, resting on the keyboard, stopped moving, and she looked towards the door.

The doorknob twisted.

The next moment, the door was pushed open.

Li Mubai walked in from the doorway.

Ruan Xiu knew that Li Mubai never came without a reason; since he was here, it must be for something important, so she preemptively asked: "What's wrong?"

"I need a contract right now; could you help me print it out?"

Ruan Xiu placed her hand on the mouse: "What kind of contract do you need? The original version, or does it need to be modified?"

"It needs to be modified."

Li Mubai walked behind Ruan Xiu's chair and then guided her in modifying the contract.

During this time, a faint, delicate fragrance continuously wafted into Li Mubai's nostrils, making him feel a bit disoriented and reluctant to leave.

Finally, after much effort, the contract was modified and successfully printed out.

Li Mubai grabbed the contract and hurried out of the office.

Phew~

As the office door closed, he also let out a long sigh of relief.

That situation just now was a bit deadly.

Ruan Xiu was already beautiful, and at such close proximity, her natural body scent made him a bit unable to resist.

Although Li Mubai was a gentleman, he was still a man after all.

Under normal sexual orientation, his 'little brother' inevitably stirred.

One must know, he was wearing sweatpants today, which were very loose and had a good drape.

In such a situation, if his 'little dragon' raised its head, the loose sweatpants would surely not be able to conceal the trace well, and he would definitely make a fool of himself on the spot.

Fortunately, this contract in his hand didn't take too long to modify...

Holding the contract, Li Mubai took several deep breaths of air, composed himself for a while, and then returned to the lounge.

"Mr. Zheng, this is the contract. Please take a look. If you have no objections, let's sign it."

Li Mubai handed the freshly printed contract to Zheng Dafeng.

The latter took the contract, only briefly scanned a few pages, and then directly flipped to the last page.

He then picked up the pen on the table and signed the three large characters 'Zheng Dafeng'.

After signing, Zheng Dafeng handed the contract back to Li Mubai.

"Mr. Zheng is truly generous!" Li Mubai said with a smile.

He then picked up the pen on the table and signed his name as well.

Actually, it wasn't that Zheng Dafeng was too careless to read the contract.

It was because during the idle time as he walked from outside into the lounge, he had already informed Li Mubai of his identity as a member of the Eastern Military Region.

The Eastern Military Region represents the country.

Unless someone had a problem with their brain, they would absolutely not try to deceive the country on this matter.

If anyone dared to tamper with the contract, that would truly be like: The God of Longevity hanging himself – tired of living!

...

At the factory gate, after seeing Zheng Dafeng out of the factory and watching him get into his car and leave, a very familiar voice suddenly echoed in Li Mubai's mind.

[Congratulations on obtaining exchange points: Four million points]

These four million were just the deposit for this batch of parts. If he could successfully complete this order, he would later receive fifteen million!

"Uncle Zhao was right, this is indeed a big order!" Li Mubai's face was full of smiles, feeling extremely pleased.

This order was not the end.

Zheng Dafeng had said that if the parts from this order satisfied their military region's leaders, then more orders would likely follow.

Of course, Zheng Dafeng had also implicitly brought up the idea of acquiring the manufacturing method for the Numerical Control Machine Tool.

However, this request was also implicitly rejected by Li Mubai.

The monopoly acquisition price Zheng Dafeng offered was five hundred million.

As long as Li Mubai nodded, he could immediately obtain a huge fortune of five hundred million.

It was 1995 now.

Five hundred million could be described as an astronomical figure.

An ordinary person, even if they worked ten lifetimes, couldn't earn that much money.

And with just a nod, so much wealth would be his for the taking; it would be false to say he wasn't tempted.

However, Li Mubai still chose to refuse.

Because these five hundred million, which was five hundred million exchange points, were not enough to exchange for the fifth-generation and sixth-generation advanced fighter jets of his previous life's modern era in the system.

The advanced active tanks of his previous life could be exchanged, though.

But... after a long period of careful consideration, he felt that tanks might not be that important.

Compared to tanks, he felt that air superiority was more crucial.

So, from a month ago, his goal shifted from exchanging tanks to exchanging fighter jets.

And the emergence of the Numerical Control Machine Tool was the key to his ability to exchange for fighter jets.

Five hundred million couldn't exchange for the advanced fighter jets of his previous life.

However, the subsequent profits that the Numerical Control Machine Tool could bring would definitely be more than just five hundred million.

A machine tool with 0.001mm precision was considered the most advanced and top-ranked in the world today.

The orders it could attract were not just from the domestic market, but also from international markets!

Thus, the exchange points that the Numerical Control Machine Tool alone could bring would be far more than a simple five hundred million.

However, it now needed time for him to build up the reputation of the Numerical Control Machine Tool, and then it could attract more orders!

.......

In the following days, Li Mubai was busy preparing for the processing of parts.

As time passed day by day, the agreed-upon half-month period arrived.

In the early morning, Li Mubai woke up early and then woke his sister.

After giving her ten yuan for breakfast, he left home and went straight to the Steel Factory.

Ten yuan, in this era, was enough for a very rich meal.

It wasn't that Li Mubai was unwilling to give more.

It was just that a child carrying a large sum of money could easily attract unwanted attention and was very unsafe.

In this era, cameras were not yet widespread, and the quality of public education was not yet complete.

On the streets, there were often groups of hooligans loitering in corners.

If a junior high school girl was seen with a hundred yuan in her hand by these people, the outcome was predictable; she would definitely be robbed.

Furthermore, these hooligans were often minors with shallow legal awareness.

They acted without restraint.

Sometimes, after a year or so, news would spread of hooligans gathering to fight and killing someone.

Given all of the above, Li Mubai naturally wouldn't give Li Qian too much money.

...

Upon arriving at the Steel Factory, Li Mubai's first task was to check if the quantity of parts was completely correct.

Zheng Dafeng represented the military region, the country. He naturally couldn't be like unscrupulous vendors on the street, doing dishonest things like shortchanging people.

After a while, he walked out of a warehouse.

The quantity of parts was not missing.

He then went to the office, sat back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Now, the only thing to do was to quietly wait for Zheng Dafeng's arrival.

He didn't know how much time had passed when the humming sound of machinery started outside the office.

At this moment, the office door was knocked.

"Come in!" Li Mubai shouted loudly towards the door; if he didn't shout loudly, the sound from inside the room would be inaudible over the machinery noise outside.

With a creak, the door opened, and Old Xiao's figure appeared in the doorway. Without wasted words, he got straight to the point: "Boss, that Mr. Zheng from last time is already waiting outside the factory gate."

Hearing this, Li Mubai opened his slightly narrowed eyes, stood up, and headed towards the factory gate.

Walking out of the factory building, Li Mubai saw from afar the military trucks lined up neatly on the concrete road outside the factory gate.

"Mr. Li, how are the parts prepared?" As soon as he reached the factory gate, Li Mubai heard Zheng Dafeng's voice coming from one side.

Li Mubai turned his head, a smile on his face: "Mr. Zheng, rest assured, all the parts are ready, not a single one missing."

"That confident?" Zheng Dafeng was slightly surprised.

The order he placed involved a huge number of parts; even if they made them themselves, it would take a long time.

He had already prepared himself for Li Mubai to delay due to the parts not being completed.

"Since that's the case, let's go take a look at the parts first."

Li Mubai naturally nodded in agreement to Zheng Dafeng's request.

The two quickly arrived at a warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, one plastic box after another was stacked like a human pyramid, forming a plastic wall.

"These boxes here contain the smallest parts, with two hundred parts per box. If you want to check if the quantity is sufficient, you can do so by weighing them. As long as the weight of each box is around five hundred kilograms, with an error not exceeding two kilograms, then it's normal," Li Mubai explained, pointing to one of the stacks of boxes in the warehouse.

Afterward, he introduced Zheng Dafeng to several other stacks of boxes.

After seeing all the boxes, Zheng Dafeng couldn't help but show a look of shock.

Because the speed at which Li Mubai's Steel Factory processed parts far exceeded his expectations.

He had initially thought that after half a month, Li Mubai would be doing well if he could process half of the parts.

He never expected that the other party had actually completed all these parts within half a month.

This speed was truly terrifying!

...

"Mr. Li, your speed is truly amazing! In just half a month, you've managed to complete the processing of so many parts!" At the factory gate, Zheng Dafeng said with a hint of surprise, watching box after box of parts being hoisted onto the trucks.

"Actually, these parts didn't even take half a month. They were finished in ten days." Li Mubai corrected the other party's mistake.

"Ten... ten days?!" Hearing this number, Zheng Dafeng's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot.

Good heavens. He thought half a month was the limit for this factory, but he never expected the actual time used was only ten days!

Amidst his shock, Zheng Dafeng suddenly realized something.

Since the other party's processing speed was so fast, the parts quality so good, and the precision so high, he might as well have this factory process all the weapon parts.

This way, their military region could replace new weapons more quickly!

Thinking of this, he immediately walked aside to call his superior.
