89: Chapter 89 Cheer Up, We're All Good Friends

Academician Zhang looked at Wang Xiuming's appearance and couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

He pointed a finger at Wang Xiuming's face, feeling somewhat amused yet helpless.

"You little guy, since the higher-ups have already expressed their stance, they will definitely sign a cooperation agreement with you. Don't worry, as soon as your production line is built, they will naturally send someone over to sign the contract with you!"

With Academician Zhang's assurance, Wang Xiuming now looked at him with skepticism.

He didn't forget to take out his phone and record a video of Academician Zhang properly.

"Smile a little more, don't make it look like I'm coercing you!"

"Right, right, right, speak more naturally, lift the corners of your mouth slightly, yes, be sincere when you look at me. We are good friends, there's no need to act like you're suffering from deep-seated hatred!"

Academician Zhang cooperated with Wang Xiuming helplessly. After the recording was finished...

Wang Xiuming watched the video with great satisfaction before finally putting his phone away.

"I told you this video would be absolutely flawless. Just look at how smooth and flowing it is, it's seamless!"

"I told you this video would be absolutely flawless, and I told you that our relationship will definitely only grow closer!"

Wang Xiuming had basically used every vocabulary word he could think of to talk to Academician Zhang.

Academician Zhang waved his hand with great disdain.

"Since you're unwilling to keep chatting with me, I'll take my leave first. If there's anything, we can discuss it together. Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll listen to whatever you say!"

After saying goodbye to Academician Zhang, Wang Xiuming immediately dialed Song Baimeng's number.

"Xiaomeng, there's a big business opportunity that I need your help with. I'm telling you, this deal will definitely make you a fortune!"

When Song Baimeng met Wang Xiuming, she looked at his lecherous expression.

She caught a glimpse of his preliminary factory design drawings and her eyes widened in shock.

"Are you building a factory? No one builds a factory this high, a full 15 meters! You must be joking! And it needs to be 500 meters long!"

"And this is just for one production line?"

"The width is 200 meters? Are you building a hangar for an airport?!"

Song Baimeng looked at the increasingly exaggerated data.

She really didn't know what to say at this moment.

"These are just the most basic data points. I'm actually being considerate of you; otherwise, I would have built it even more extravagantly!"

Wang Xiuming had only made these modifications after considering the actual situation at Hongqi Heavy Industry.

Otherwise, he would have wanted to arrange it in a long, linear formation.

He had planned for a single production line to stretch to 1 kilometer, with a height of 20 meters and a width controlled at 500 meters.

Listening to Wang Xiuming's unconstrained ideas, Song Baimeng couldn't close her mouth in shock.

She couldn't imagine what kind of exaggerated project would require such a design.

It simply left her feeling awestruck.

"When do you need it by?"

"15 days at the latest!"

Song Baimeng thought about it briefly and indicated that it wouldn't be a problem.

As long as she had the help of the heavy industry god king, the 15-day timeline could even be shortened further.

"What new heavy industry machinery have you developed this time?"

"It actually requires such a long production line; could it be another exaggerated piece of equipment? Why don't you sell one to us first?"

Coming from a real estate background, Song Baimeng had a great interest in this kind of heavy industry equipment.

Compared to the new products released by Hongqi cars...

...it was clear that heavy industry equipment was what truly piqued her curiosity.

Wang Xiuming looked at Song Baimeng's persistent expression.

He decided to just take out the blueprints and place them in front of her.

Upon seeing the design blueprints for the wall-breaking engineering vehicle, Song Baimeng was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"What kind of terrifying piece of large-scale equipment is this? A device like this will probably trigger a whole new revolution!"

"What is this device actually used for? It seems like you won't make much money developing this kind of equipment, right?"

Although Song Baimeng felt shocked when she first saw the wall-breaking engineering vehicle...

...she immediately raised a very critical question.

Ordinary engineering companies simply couldn't afford special equipment like the wall-breaking engineering vehicle.

To use this kind of special equipment, one must have the support of official documents from the higher-ups to be able to bid on construction projects.

Generally speaking, equipment that requires the wall-breaking engineering vehicle can only be used by leading companies with great strength.

Tunnel construction, subway construction, and sewer renovation projects.

Even things like undersea bridges and so on could utilize it.

"Xiaomeng, given our relationship, if you wanted to buy one, I would definitely give you a 20% discount. But I don't think you'd have any use for it."

"After all, equipment like this can only be used by the state-controlled China State Construction Group!"

Listening to Wang Xiuming's nonsense, Song Baimeng couldn't help but roll her eyes.

How could she not understand that only a wealthy leader like the China State Construction Group would be able to purchase this kind of equipment?

"You didn't build this production line specifically to create this engineering vehicle for the China State Construction Group, did you? What if they only purchase one unit? Let's see what you do then!"

"The selling price of one wall-breaking engineering vehicle is around 150 million, and the higher-ups have said they want to purchase 100 units as the first batch on the procurement list."

Hearing Wang Xiuming's words, Song Baimeng couldn't help but cough twice.

100 units, that's over 10 billion.

"You've got to be kidding me, such a heavy industry device actually sells for around 150 million!"

The quote Wang Xiuming gave was actually within a reasonable range.

You have to realize that the special metal required for the wall-breaking engineering vehicle accounts for almost 75% of the cost of the entire vehicle.

The profit on a single vehicle is less than 20%.

And that's after Wang Xiuming carefully calculated and requested R&D funding from Academician Zhang.

Otherwise, this price would probably have to be discounted even further.

Wang Xiuming spread his hands helplessly; unfortunately, the power of this equipment was plain for all to see.

This is also why the higher-ups were willing to spend such a large sum to support this production line.

"There's no help for it; who told me to master the most advanced technology!"

"You are really shameless when you say that!"

Wang Xiuming was very calm at this moment.

"Geniuses are always envied. Let the storm rage more fiercely; I've already gotten used to it long ago anyway!"

After Wang Xiuming finished saying this...

...it really made everyone want to give him the middle finger.

Who could have imagined that when Wang Xiuming said this, he didn't even blush or skip a beat?
