“Old Hu, don’t get too excited! I’m really worried your heart can’t take it!”

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General was quite pleased to see Hu Guoyong, Academician so shocked.

Didn’t he disbelieve it just now?

Now he’s been proven wrong!

It wasn’t until he felt the strength of Hu Guoyong, Academician’s grip on his arms that his joy immediately vanished, replaced by a slight worry.

He had known for a long time that Hu Guoyong, Academician had a heart condition and couldn’t get too emotional.

Feeling the other party’s current excitement, he was genuinely afraid that Hu Guoyong, Academician might collapse from over-excitement.

At that point, it would truly be ‘sealed with a coffin lid’!

“Quickly tell me, where did these parts come from!”

Hu Guoyong, Academician roared, his emotions exceptionally agitated, his eyes nearly bulging out.

His excited outburst immediately drew a crowd.

“Isn’t that Hu Lao? Why is he so agitated? General Chu is also there; what are they doing by the measuring device?”

“Heh heh, you probably don’t know, do you? Hu Lao is agitated because the factory just received a batch of parts, and all of them are identical in size, with an error of less than 0.001 millimeters! Do you know what this means? It means there’s a High-Precision Machine Tool!”

“Hiss! You’re not kidding, are you? Even the Germans might not have a machine tool with this precision, right?”

“Please remove ‘might not’; it’s absolutely impossible for them to have one.”

“Seeing Hu Lao so excited, could it be that the machine tool was invented by someone in our country?”

“Very likely! Otherwise, Hu Lao wouldn’t be this excited. I just wonder which great master managed to create this thing.”

“This is too damn exaggerated! Who is so amazing?!”

......

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, but please don’t be so agitated first.”

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General dared not delay.

He could already feel Hu Guoyong, Academician’s body trembling slightly.

This was a sign of impending doom!

If he didn't handle it well, he, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General, would become a murderer.

Although he hadn't physically done anything, if Hu Guoyong, Academician really kicked the bucket, it would still have a deep causal connection to him.

Thinking of this.

He quickly stated where the parts were processed:

“Don’t get excited. All these parts were processed in Pingshan County, under Xuanhua City. The company that processed these parts is called Guo Li Steel Factory.”

Upon hearing this.

Hu Guoyong, Academician’s trembling body finally stilled, and his agitated emotions also became somewhat restrained.

He frowned and said:

“Guo Li Steel Factory? Why have I never heard of this company?”

In his impression, there was no such name as Guo Li Steel Factory.

According to his original guess.

An enterprise capable of developing a High-Precision CNC Machine Tool, even if not a research institute, should at least be a powerful high-tech company.

Otherwise, how could it develop a Numerical Control Machine Tool?

Even the country had invested a lot of money and spent a long time researching this, only to succeed recently.

Moreover.

The Numerical Control Machine Tool that was successfully developed still couldn't compare in precision to the machine tool that processed the parts in front of them.

Could such a high-tech item be developed by a small enterprise?

“It’s just a factory in a county town; it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.”

Seeing that Hu Guoyong, Academician was no longer agitated, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General twisted and turned, finally breaking free from his grasp.

When he was caught just now, he didn't feel anything strange in his arms.

He just felt the other party's grip was very strong.

Now, after breaking free from the other party's clutches, a faint pain emanated from his arms.

He was certain.

If he had spoken a moment slower just now, this old man in front of him would definitely have ascended to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss due to a myocardial infarction on the spot.

At that time, even if he was in the right, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

After all.

So many eyes on the scene were watching him and Hu Guoyong, Academician.

Listening to Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General’s words, Hu Guoyong, Academician was a little surprised:

“A small factory can produce something like this? How much of a genius is the person who developed this?”

This was something that the country had invested massive funds, manpower, and resources into, yet couldn't create.

Now, it was made by a small factory.

He couldn't immediately accept this huge discrepancy in his mind.

“The owner of that factory is the son of an old subordinate of mine. Truly, a tiger begets no dog! This kid hasn’t shamed his father!!”

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General exclaimed with admiration from the side.

Hu Guoyong, Academician, who was in a daze, heard this and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly leaped, bouncing in front of Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General, his eyes wide open, staring intently into the other party’s pupils.

“What are you doing?”

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General instinctively took half a step back, a little startled.

“You know the owner of that company?”

“I don’t, but someone does.”

“Take me there!”

“Where?”

“To the company that developed the High-Precision CNC Machine Tool! I want to meet that person!”

. Ultimately.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General couldn't win against the stubborn Hu Guoyong, Academician and could only promise to take him to Guo Li Steel Factory tomorrow.

......

At the same time.

Inside Guo Li Steel Factory.

In Ruan Xiu’s private office.

The old-fashioned fan hummed, and cool air flowed from its blades, preventing the office from becoming too hot.

At the desk.

Ruan Xiu had her hair in a bun, and a few strands at her temples fluttered up and down, stirred by the breeze.

“How is it? Have you found out which newspapers there are?”

Li Mubai sat on a chair nearby, asking.

“Wait a moment…”

The clattering sound of the keyboard continuously came from Ruan Xiu’s position.

After a short while.

The sound of keyboard typing stopped.

Ruan Xiu’s voice rang out: “Currently, the national newspapers, from highest to lowest in popularity, are Huaxia News Agency, National Daily, New Oriental Daily, Phoenix Daily…”

Ruan Xiu listed a long string of newspapers.

However.

From the National Daily onwards, Li Mubai didn't listen carefully to the names of the subsequent newspapers.

The later newspapers.

Their influence and penetration were far inferior to the earlier ones, so they were naturally not within his consideration.

He was now focused on Huaxia News Agency and National Daily.

These two were the largest newspapers in the country and had the highest penetration rate.

Even in townships, these two newspapers could be found.

Other newspapers, for the most part, were in the cities, and their influence was far less than the top two.

After a brief thought, he said:

“See if you can find the contact information for Huaxia News Agency.”

Huaxia News Agency had the largest reputation and was the most subscribed newspaper nationwide, so his attention naturally fell on this newspaper.

Before long.

Ruan Xiu found the contact number for Huaxia News Agency.

Li Mubai checked his watch; it was four in the afternoon.

At this hour.

Most newspapers had not yet reached closing time.

Thinking of this.

He immediately took out his phone and dialed the contact number Huaxia News Agency left on its official website.

Before long.

The call was connected.

“This is Huaxia News Agency. Do you want to place an advertisement?”
