94: Chapter 94, "Exile to Blue Star," is now finished!

Xu's Heavy Industry.

Xu Hao was looking at the design blueprints for the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber.

Just then, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw it was a call from President Tang Minghui.

"Chairman Xu, you need to send over some more technicians; we don't have enough!"

President Tang Minghui said directly.

There were too many orders; they were completely overwhelmed.

Just in the last few days, orders had already been scheduled through next year.

Furthermore, the orders were continuing to increase.

Considering the actual production capacity of Tangs Heavy Industry, he had to temporarily pause orders for some small machinery.

However, even so.

The volume of orders for large machinery remained terrifyingly high.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hao was slightly taken aback. "Are you overwhelmed with orders?"

Listening to President Tang Minghui's anxious tone, he didn't even need to think to know that the order volume must be too high.

"Overwhelmed! We're completely overwhelmed! Right now, all the workshops at Tangs Heavy Industry have been started up, and we're working around the clock, twenty-four hours a day, to catch up."

"Chairman Xu, if you don't send some people over soon, our employees are going to burn out!"

President Tang Minghui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Facing this situation, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He really hadn't expected that the retrofitted and upgraded machines would be so popular.

Manufacturers from all over the country, whether old clients or new, were flocking to them, saying they only wanted the machines produced by Xu's Heavy Industry and Tangs Heavy Industry.

"How about this: I'll send you another five hundred employees, including one hundred professional technical personnel."

Xu Hao thought for a moment and then said.

"That's great!" President Tang Minghui was immediately overjoyed.

"We are also urgently hiring employees. Once they undergo strict training, they can gradually start work, and by then, the staffing situation won't be so tight."

The order volume had come too suddenly; they hadn't had time to hire more employees.

Right now, everything depended on the employees at Tangs Heavy Industry and Xu's Heavy Industry holding the fort.

"Fine, just make the arrangements. However, the employees' wages and benefits must be guaranteed!"

Xu Hao instructed.

"Don't worry, I understand that. Currently, all employees on duty have had their wages doubled, and we've also provided them with social security and housing funds."

President Tang Minghui patted his chest and guaranteed it.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

President Tang Minghui was very busy, running around like a headless chicken every day.

Xu Hao was about the same, busy with matters concerning the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber.

Because of the cooperation between Xu's Heavy Industry and Tangs Heavy Industry, and the surge in order volume in recent times.

Gradually, the two companies became increasingly famous in the Dragon Kingdom, showing signs of becoming leaders in the Dragon Kingdom's heavy industry sector.

All of this was happening quietly.

Conversely.

Orders for Baili Heavy Industry Group kept falling, until there were almost no orders left.

The company building was deserted.

In the building with dozens of floors, one could barely see anyone these days.

Those who wanted to resign had resigned; the few who remained were those clinging to the last shred of hope for Baili Heavy Industry.

But the majority of employees, especially technicians and general staff.

After hearing about the benefits at Tangs Heavy Industry, they resigned one after another to apply for jobs there.

Doubled wages and social security and housing funds—such benefits were far better than those at Baili Heavy Industry.

For a time, people from Baili Heavy Industry's company and factories left in droves.

The entire factory area of Baili Heavy Industry became much quieter.

Chairman Dong Baili, unable to turn things around, chose to file for bankruptcy and liquidation.

...

While Xu Hao was busy with the 6th Generation Stealth Bomber project, Director Guo Fan, from whom there had been no news for a long time, called.

"Chairman Xu, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Director Guo Fan's hearty laughter came through the phone.

"Director Guo?"

Xu Hao asked, sounding rather surprised and puzzled.

Ever since he returned from the The Wandering Earth film crew last time, he hadn't been in contact with Director Guo Fan.

After all, he was busy with various matters.

Director Guo Fan also hadn't had any free time because he had started filming.

He didn't expect a sudden call today.

Could it be that filming for The Wandering Earth had finished?

Just as Xu Hao had thought, Director Guo Fan immediately said:

"Haha... Engineer Xu, The Wandering Earth has officially wrapped up!"

Director Guo Fan's tone was somewhat joyful.

"So fast? Congratulations, Director Guo!"

Xu Hao congratulated him.

The two hadn't been in contact for a long time and had too many topics to discuss.

They ended up talking on the phone for over an hour.

"Chairman Xu, I have to say, those props you made are simply amazing!"

From talking about the movie, they moved on to the props, and Director Guo Fan seemed even more excited.

"You weren't on set, but when the ten Doomsday Vehicles rushed out in full force and galloped across the wilderness, that scene was simply something else!"

"It was so shocking! It was like ten ancient giant beasts roaring wildly across the wilderness."

"According to our crew members, those on set were truly left breathless by that suffocating sense of oppression. It was so shocking!"

Director Guo Fan rambled on, continuously praising Xu Hao's props.

Xu Hao didn't mind; who doesn't like being praised?

Although it was the props being praised, he was the one who made them!

"That's right, it was so explosive!"

From Director Guo Fan's side, another familiar voice rang out.

Xu Hao was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Is Actor Wu Jing there too?"

Hearing Xu Hao call his name, Actor Wu Jing hurriedly leaned in.

"Chairman Xu, your props are so awesome, especially that Powered Exoskeleton Mecha—it's absolutely incredible!"

Actor Wu Jing's excited voice came through the receiver.

Xu Hao smiled helplessly.

Before Xu Hao could speak, Actor Wu Jing continued:

"When I put on that Powered Exoskeleton Mecha, I felt like a superhero—I could take on ten people at once!"

"It's a pity that this thing is a special supply for the military; otherwise, I'd definitely have to get one to play with."

Actor Wu Jing said with a hint of regret.

He really liked the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha.

Actor Wu Jing had been a soldier and had a crazy passion for martial arts and combat.

When he put on the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha, those movements that were usually very difficult to achieve became effortless.

For him, it was simply like a dream.

It was so shocking!

A feeling like never before!

Xu Hao pondered for a moment and then said:

"Perhaps it won't be long before this thing is available to ordinary consumers."

Xu Hao's original intention was to design it for people with limited mobility.

But because the system was too powerful, he ended up designing an Exoskeleton Mecha with overly excellent performance.

In the end, it was noticed by the military, which led to it becoming a military special supply.

However.

Once the military's needs are met, it can be significantly stripped down and released to the market for use.

By then, everyone will be able to buy one, and everyone can realize their 'superhero' dream.

"Really? That's great!"

Actor Wu Jing was immediately filled with anticipation.

He believed Xu Hao's words.

After all, Xu Hao was now a big shot in the country and highly valued by the state.

His words carried some weight from the state.

After chatting for a while, Xu Hao asked:

"When will the movie be released?"

"It's estimated that it will be released in major theaters in a month!" Director Guo Fan took the phone and answered.

Xu Hao was taken aback. "So fast? Can post-production be finished in a month?"

"That's thanks to you, Chairman Xu. Because the props were so realistic, we didn't need to do much in post-production with special effects."

"At the same time, the investors requested an early release, so we decided to hit the theaters in a month."

Director Guo Fan explained.

Xu Hao finally understood.

After all, in his previous life, The Wandering Earth had undergone several years of polishing before it was finally released.

"Then I wish you great box office success. I believe it will definitely become a huge hit!"

Xu Hao smiled and offered his congratulations in advance.

The Wandering Earth would indeed become a huge hit.

Not only that, the subsequent second installment would also be a huge hit.

Director Guo Fan was equally confident. "It will definitely be a big hit. Just based on those props you made, it's already shocking enough!"

"When it's released, remember to let me know!"

After chatting for a few more sentences, Xu Hao hung up the phone with him.

In his heart, he was also faintly looking forward to the release of The Wandering Earth...
