252: Are you sure he wants to use these materials to make a robot?

"CEO Xia? What about the material costs?"

"Buy it! Not only buy it, but gather all these materials as quickly as possible. Aim to deliver all raw materials to the client by the day after tomorrow."

Xu Chuan looked up in surprise, his eyes revealing shock and confusion.

He didn't understand if CEO Xia had misheard the figure for the material costs, or if he had truly agreed to this matter.

One must know, that was over 100 million in material costs!

Although their company was large and wealthy, and had sufficient capital, it hadn't gone public yet and wasn't considered the top robotics company in Huaxia Country.

For such a large expense, even the finance department would need quite a long time to review and verify it.

"CEO Xia, I just carefully reviewed this material list again."

"You said these are materials for making robots, but there are many expensive energy sources inside that I've never heard of being used this way. And the content of special materials is not small either!"

"Are you sure these are really materials for making robots, and not for..."

Liu Weigang didn't voice the last few words.

Because he felt that if it really was what he was thinking, then this matter would be too absurd!

Let alone Huaxia Country, even Meijian Country and Sakura Country, which are the most advanced in robot research, probably wouldn't use these high-energy special raw materials when building robots.

Xia Dahai glanced at Liu Weigang, who was full of doubts. At this moment, his mood had already calmed down again.

"Engineer Liu, I am very sure these things will ultimately be used to make robots! So, please, you and Xu Chuan go and handle this matter."

"Don't ask about other things."

"Oh, right, I don't think I've told you yet, these raw materials are for the special guest of our show to make robots."

"You should all have heard his name; he is that young hero who has frequently appeared in major media news recently — Su Yu."

It's him?!

It's actually him!!

CEO Xia actually invited this guy to this national robotics competition?!

Both of them had clearly heard the name Su Yu, and their eyes instantly lit up as soon as they heard it!

Although they had been working overtime at the company recently, they had still heard of this famous name.

As someone publicly invited by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, at least in terms of biotechnology, the ability Su Yu displayed was definitely among the top in the country!

His strength was beyond doubt.

And they had also heard that this young Streamer with tens of millions of followers was an all-rounder, and his skills in manual technology were equally impressive.

"Alright, alright..."

"Then I will immediately contact our suppliers and try to gather all these things as soon as possible."

"The day after tomorrow! The day after tomorrow, we must ensure the materials are delivered on time."

"A single day's delay could very likely affect the official broadcast time of our show."

"Understood, CEO Xia."

...Two days later.

Nanshan, Yunxi Villa Area.

Five or six large trucks, after layers of strict inspection, finally delivered all the materials to Su Yu's home.

It was a good thing he had recently moved into a detached villa; the empty rooms and basement were large enough. Otherwise, if he were still living in the rental apartment he started with, these things wouldn't fit even if the sky broke!

Su Yu looked at the properly arranged raw materials and the tidied-up underground research lab, feeling satisfied.

Boss Xia was indeed a man of his word.

Besides delivering the materials as promised, he also specially sent people to help him set up his live broadcast lab.

Now, the hundreds of square meters of basement area were all brand new. Here, Su Yu had more than enough space whether for live streaming or conducting various research.

"How is it, Mr. Su? All the items should have been delivered, right? I personally checked yesterday, and besides a few particularly difficult items that need two more days, basically everything you asked for is here."

On the other end of the phone, Xia Dahai chuckled, sounding quite proud.

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly went along with it and praised him.

"CEO Xia is indeed CEO Xia, our company's strength is just powerful!"

"Don't worry, now that the items have arrived, I'll tidy up and can start broadcasting tonight. I'll definitely make the robot in the shortest time possible, so as not to affect the competition schedule."

Xia Dahai was somewhat flattered by the praise. To receive Su Yu's evaluation, he felt that let alone 100 million in raw materials! Even if it were another 100 million now, he would definitely spend it without batting an eye!

"Hehehe, it's fine, Teacher Su, no rush."

"As long as you're not lacking anything, just proceed at your own pace. Don't worry, if you still need anything, just tell me anytime."

Hearing this, Su Yu felt a little embarrassed.

He had originally thought he had slightly conned the other party, and they might be uncomfortable. But he didn't expect the other party not only had no dissatisfaction but was even more accommodating to his requests.

Checking the time, it was now five in the afternoon.

Su Yu double-checked the raw materials needed for tonight's production, and after confirming everything was correct, he began the final preparations before starting the broadcast.

He hadn't broadcasted these past two days but had integrated the knowledge in his mind.

With his previously acquired handicraft skills, combined with the newly gained abilities, as long as the materials were in place, making what he wanted would be effortless!

While Su Yu was studying these past two days, Xia Dahai was also heavily promoting his national robotics competition online.

This competition had no age limit, no team or individual restrictions; the only barrier was the registration fee!

To participate in the competition, a registration fee of two thousand yuan was required.

Xia Dahai's purpose in doing this was simple: to prevent just any random person from joining and lowering the average standard of the competition.

Of course, the original purpose of this competition was also to mobilize the public to learn more about the new robotics industry. Therefore, when setting up the competition, there were also many different awards.

According to the final ranking, participants whose scores entered the top 80% would all receive prize money.

It was just that the amount of prize money varied.

But even the last-place finisher would receive a 200 yuan consolation prize.

As soon as the show was announced, it instantly caused a sensation across the entire network!

The number of registered participants was already considerable, and coupled with the confirmed news online that Su Yu would also participate in the show, this attracted even more of his fans to follow this program.

It was pretty much as Xia Dahai had expected.

Currently, Su Yu's appeal to the audience was far stronger than that of internet celebrities and stars.

His official announcement of joining directly increased the show's viewership by 40% compared to before!

Xia Dahai felt that this 100 million was well spent!

Now, he just needed to let the bullets fly a bit longer. The day Su Yu's robot was successfully completed would be the official start time of the show!
