154: Maozi in golden packaging, empty wine bottle sold for 20,000?

When Bai Xiaoying received the call from Lu Shenwei, she looked blank: "Take me? But I still have my livestream."

"A 50,000 travel allowance? How about it? It won't interfere with your livestream," Lu Shenwei said.

The reason he wanted to bring Bai Xiaoying was that he was afraid the media found by Nifeng Express would be unreliable.

"50,000? I make that much just lying at home livestreaming for two days."

The young lady was trying to raise the price on the spot. Lu Shenwei frowned and said: "100,000?"

"100,000 is just lying there for two more days."

Lu Shenwei didn't have time for nonsense: "How about 1 million?"

"1 million is just... What? 1 million? Director Lu, have you lost your mind? I just genuinely don't want to go."

An ex-boyfriend in the capital had broken her heart, which was why Bai Xiaoying kept making excuses to refuse going to the capital for a livestream.

Seeing that Bai Xiaoying still wouldn't budge, Lu Shenwei immediately shouted the highest price: "What about 10 million? Will you go?"

10 million? Director Lu is truly crazy!

"I'll go, I'll go! I don't even want your 10 million. Just let me list a new product launched by Julong Steel on my channel, that'll do," Bai Xiaoying said with a bitter face.

Julong Steel was rising with the momentum, but only a few people caught the opportunity while drifting with the tide, and Bai Xiaoying was one of them.

Ever since Julong Steel released the dragon cat agricultural vehicle, she no longer had to worry about food or clothing.

Her parents no longer brought up her quitting her job at the TV station; after all, with an annual income of nearly two million, what else could the family say?

Lu Shenwei was stunned for a moment: "Deal. However, what we are launching this time is a large aircraft. Is it okay to list it in your livestream?"

"Yes! Definitely! My livestream channel can even sell howitzers, why wouldn't it be able to sell a large aircraft?" Bai Xiaoying said confidently.

"Then it's settled. Next Monday, there's a direct flight to the capital, and I'll arrange a car to pick you up then."

"I haven't been to the capital for several years, so it's a good chance to look around."

Before departing, Lu Shenwei arranged the work at the steel plant and specifically instructed Ma Quanlin to keep a close eye on production safety.

Ma Quanlin asked: "Little Lu, the Double Bone Dragon super-large unmanned transport aircraft is too bulky. If it needs to be transported to the capital, it must be disassembled."

"There's no need to waste time disassembling it. Can't it just fly there directly?"

"Fly there? You have to apply for a flight path for that."

"I'll communicate with Director Xu. Civil flight paths are easy to apply for."

As he said this, Lu Shenwei dialed the phone number for Xu Lei's office, but no one answered.

Lu Shenwei turned around and called Gu Ming, but Chen Huatao said that Gu Ming had gone out to sea on an important mission.

"Alright then, I'll call back later."

As Lu Shenwei was about to hang up, Chen Huatao added: "Director Lu, how is our purely anti-rust Liuguang Coating sold? We want to purchase a batch."

"You don't need the stealth function?"

"It's for regular patrol boats; we don't need such high-end features like stealth."

"How much do you need per month? I'll schedule production immediately."

"How about 3,000 barrels?"

"How much did you say? 3,000 barrels?"

"Yes, 3,000 barrels. All warships need to be coated. You don't know, but barnacles are almost eating through the hulls of the old warships."

"Then why not sell it to the Coast Guard? Doesn't the Coast Guard lack ships?"

"Have you ever seen a 10,000-ton Coast Guard ship? Even if we wanted to give it to them, the higher-ups wouldn't approve it. Our country isn't rich enough to use 10,000-ton warships as Coast Guard ships."

"Understood. We will definitely deliver 3,000 barrels to you every month. How about 20,000 per barrel?"

"20,000? You ship the goods first, and once the application is approved, we'll settle the payment."

"No rush on the payment, prioritize your usage first."

"You kid. When Director Gu returns, I'll have him call you back."

"No need for that much trouble. I just want to apply for a civil flight path so that the drones produced by our factory can fly to the capital to participate in the air show."

Drones participating in an air show? Doesn't Julong Steel only have one small Longying Drone? Does it really need a dedicated flight path?

"Is that all? I'll handle it for you. I guarantee you'll get the approval document by tomorrow morning."

Chen Huatao hung up the phone and applied for the flight path to his superiors.

He felt it was a trivial matter and didn't take it to heart.

At night, Gu Ming inquired about the duty status for the day via satellite phone. Chen Huatao said there was nothing major, only that Lu Shenwei had called.

"Keep a close eye on things at home. I still need a few more days before I can return."

"Rest assured, the matter of purchasing the anti-rust paint that was discussed before you left has also been taken care of. If there are any further developments, I will report to you at any time."

Twenty days ago, the guangyu silent aircraft carrier battle group confronted the Eagle and Japan aircraft carrier battle groups, which later turned into a stealth 055 Destroyer taking on the Eagle aircraft carrier battle group one-on-one.

During this time, due to improper operation by Japan, an Osprey helicopter crashed, and two division commanders died.

To ensure the equipment safety of the guangyu silent aircraft carrier and the stealth 055 Destroyer, the Navy Headquarters specifically sent Gu Ming with a squadron of equipment Experts to provide support from thousands of miles away.

Fortunately, they were prepared, and in the end, the Eagle Community aircraft carrier battle group slunk away.

Three days later, Qinchuan Airport.

As the passenger plane took off, three hours later, Lu Shenwei and his group arrived in the capital.

Wang Jiawei from Nifeng Express was waiting at the airport early: "Director Lu, it's been two months, and you are still in fine form."

"President Wang is also looking radiant. Your company's stock price is blooming like sesame flowers; I bet you've made a fortune, haven't you?" Lu Shenwei laughed.

"It's all thanks to Director Lu's blessing."

Wang Jiawei said with a smile, and Assistant Chen took the luggage from the group.

"This is Miss Bai, a senior reporter."

"Hello, Miss Bai. Tonight, let's have a simple meal and check into the Bvlgari Hotel in the capital."

"The Bvlgari Hotel in the capital? A standard room costs over 5,000 a night."

"Please excuse the poor hospitality, Director Lu, don't mind it."

"Miss Bai, you're joking. You have all been booked into presidential suites. Although it's not as comfortable as staying at home, it's passable," Assistant Chen explained.

Just kidding, if he put Director Lu in a standard room, wouldn't Wang Jiawei skin him alive?

That night, the group checked in, and Wang Jiawei set up a table for Lu Shenwei with the highest specifications.

A single photo from him had caused Nifeng Express's stock price to rise by 26%, and it had even seen a slight increase in the last two days.

When the real aircraft test flight happens, wouldn't Nifeng Express's stock price soar along with it?

Bai Xiaoying sat to the right of Lu Shenwei. She tugged on Lu Shenwei's sleeve: "Director Lu, can I secretly start a livestream? I won't film anyone's face, only the food, and it will be silent the whole time."

"This... let me ask President Wang."

Lu Shenwei explained the situation to Wang Jiawei, and Wang Jiawei said amiably: "Go ahead and film, just don't record us talking."

He was hoping Bai Xiaoying would film some footage for her livestream. If some of it circulated online later, wouldn't Nifeng Express be able to get popular again?

With permission granted, Bai Xiaoying immediately turned on silent livestream mode.

Livestream title: Just a Simple Meal!

[Where is Xiao Ying? Why can't I see anyone's face?]

[Looks like a business banquet. This is no simple matter. That one at the corner of the table is the moutai 88 Dragon Year Gold-Plated Limited Edition. It's at least 300,000 a bottle; even an empty bottle can sell for over 20,000!]
