Chapter 29 – Mechanical Three Kingdoms

Before, I only wanted to increase production and gain more energy.

Now, after being reminded by someone else...

Xu Fei suddenly realized that he actually owned a large factory with assets worth tens of millions and an annual turnover of forty to fifty million.

Unknowingly, he had become a big boss!

But...

He still had no money in his pocket.

Especially last night when he mentioned hiring workers, Da Ma complained that the funds on the books had become negative.

He looked at the account book.

Not counting the cost of electricity and the previous acquisition of scrap iron.

He made 1.5 million from selling dogs.

He made 300,000 from the first batch of goods.

He transferred 500,000 from the loan.

After buying a phone, computer, and office supplies, he had 2.07 million left.

Minus 1.65 million for the Hu Tou Ben.

Minus 400,000 for two Jinbei Dahaishi.

Minus 60,000 for half a month's salary for 100 employees (unpaid).

Minus 80,000 for 1,000 sets of customized work uniforms (unpaid).

Minus daily expenses...

He still needed to transfer 70,000 from his personal account to Lou Nannan to purchase shares in the credit union.

Adding and subtracting, including the 500,000 loan.

Not too much, not too little, just enough to be negative 1 million, which the court wouldn't dare to rule on.

This was not something he heard on the road, but a conclusion he reached after looking at many economic legal cases.

If you owe one million in finance, you'll be stuck in prison.

If you owe one million in a factory, the court has to consider employment issues.

Even more so, for power plants and steel mills, even if they are losing money, the factories have to keep running.

"It's good that the number of employees will soon reach two hundred."

"Even if the bluffing foreign enterprise is exposed, considering the impact of unemployment, the county will probably cover for us."

"As for the city, it's uncertain."

"So, before the city finds out, we need to make money and accumulate energy!"

Xu Fei immediately got up and went to the production workshop for the Iron Frog with Tinplate.

Since chip production was suspended, there were no employees in the factory building.

He found the computer that came with the basic production line and imagined what a Gundam would look like.

Soon, an exaggerated mobile suit appeared on the computer screen.

Removing the colors, the appearance instantly turned into a metallic silver.

And choosing the electroplating process, gold, yellow, metallic gray...

Surprisingly, the gold and metallic gray were even cooler than the original version.

Adjusting the weapons, wings, legs, and feet...

After making some modifications, Xu Fei was astonished to find that a perfectly fine Gundam had turned into a frog monster.

Start over.

With edges and corners, a natural outline, and an overall metallic texture.

But no matter how you looked at it, it looked like Zhang Fei.

Huh?

Mechanical version of Zhang Fei?

Mechanical version of the Three Kingdoms?

"Damn!"

Xu Fei suddenly stood up.

The frog monster was so fun, it would definitely sell well.

It's just that without materials and a story, it couldn't be widely promoted, and consumers wouldn't be able to understand the wonderful imagination of Factory Director Little Xu.

But the Mechanical Three Kingdoms would be different.

In this day and age, not to mention China, even Japan and Southeast Asia are familiar with Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

If a mechanical version of the Three Kingdoms with Gundams similar to this one were made...

Xu Fei closed his eyes and imagined, then put the mechanical version of Zhang Fei into the design software.

Look at this metallic gray with a full texture.

Look at this exaggerated appearance of the Snake Spear.

Look at this mighty and muscular figure.

Look at this spirited battle robe and cloak.

Xu Fei was willing to bet that the sales volume would definitely surpass Gundam!

And, it would move!

Wind up the spring, and the mechanical Zhang Fei would charge on the screen.

Looking at the data, it could run ten meters.

"After the spring was strengthened by the electroplating process, does it have such strong driving power?"

"But if it runs far and runs so fast, can kids catch it?"

"No, having sufficient power is a good thing, it can be bumped into!"

"You have Zhang Fei, I have Guan Yu, wind up the spring, and have a good fight!"

"What if it breaks?"

"Buy a new one!"

"But a 5-centimeter size is a bit small."

The basic production line can adjust the size of the model without consuming energy.

While adjusting, Xu Fei calculated the power consumption and raw material consumption, and then calculated the cost.

A 10-centimeter tall mechanical Zhang Fei would have a cost of 1 cent and still generate 2 points of energy.

If a building block type assembly version of the mechanical Zhang Fei were produced...

Sorry, it's too difficult, I can't design it.

A 20-centimeter tall mechanical Zhang Fei would have a linear increase in production time, with only 100 pieces per hour.

With a long production time, it would delay making money, and the cost would rise to 2 yuan, but it would generate 3 points of energy.

But with a larger size, it could add a linked spring on the shoulders and neck, and together with the core spring on the chest, it would have a mechanical Zhang Fei that could brandish the Snake Spear and wave its arms.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Fei decided to first manufacture a 10-centimeter mechanical Zhang Fei, and consider other sizes later.

He summoned a translucent page and checked the energy value.

Current: 20,521.

Accumulated: 233,000."Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Diao Chan..."

"No, how can Lu Bu be without his Red Hare?"

"Hey? Can we create a separate card slot for warhorses, design different warhorses, and equip each mechanical hero with a clockwork warhorse? After they are made, we can remove the weapons and cloaks and sell them separately along with the clockwork warhorse."

"A 10 cm Guan Yu sells for 2 yuan, the matching Green Dragon Crescent Blade sells for 1 yuan, the super cloak sells for 3 yuan, and the clockwork warhorse sells for 2 yuan."

"Oh my god, something that should have been sold for 2 yuan can now be sold for 8 yuan. The profit instantly quadrupled."

"I am indeed cut out to be a big boss."

"Also, we can adjust the model, make Guan Yu slightly bigger, and then remove the large-sized warhorse, cloak, and Green Dragon Crescent Blade to sell them separately to the children who have already bought the 10 cm Guan Yu."

"The slightly larger accessories, when placed on the 10 cm Guan Yu, will definitely look more powerful."

"When the children get used to it, we can take out the large-sized Guan Yu from the warehouse and sell it separately, allowing the children who have the large accessories but are playing with the 10 cm Guan Yu to switch to the tall Guan Yu."

"Then, we can make an even bigger Guan Yu, remove and sell even larger accessories..."

"If this continues, will I be beaten up when I go out on the street?"

"Wait, all the mechanical heroes are made of metal gray. We can also find a printing factory and design different styles of stickers."

"Green-robed Guan Yu, blood-stained Guan Yu, flaming Guan Yu..."

"Multi-colored warhorse, flaming warhorse, thundering warhorse..."

"I'm afraid someone will snatch our business and sell stickers randomly."

"Forget it, let's start!"

Xu Fei immediately consumed energy and opened 19 Three Kingdoms hero card slots.

Of course, he couldn't open them randomly.

If the children don't like Liu Bei, he will open it later.

Now, he only opened the ones that everyone likes: Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Diao Chan...

And also opened an additional warhorse card slot.

In this way, the just accumulated 20,000 energy was completely consumed.

A notification popped up on the screen saying that 20 sets of equipment had been shipped and would arrive around 12 noon at the Qinggang Customs.

After finishing the busy work, Xu Fei turned and headed to the office.

At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter came from the direction of the toy factory gate.

"Little Xu, come out quickly, the county leader is here."

"It's the township secretary who came back from the investment promotion."

Xu Fei muttered to himself and quickly walked out of the factory.

Outside in the courtyard, it was crowded with people.

There were township leaders, several unfamiliar faces wearing gray-blue uniforms, a big horse, and twenty salespeople...

Two police cars with the bureau logo were parked behind the crowd, and the security guards had returned to their positions. The crowd of job applicants had already dispersed.

"This young man looks energetic. He is indeed the rising star of our Yellow Mud Hillock!" One of the unfamiliar middle-aged men said as he walked.

The township secretary introduced, "Xiao Xu, come, this is the leader of our Gucheng County Bureau of Industry, Mr. Gong."

...............

Time went back to early morning.

Gucheng County, Investment Service Cooperation Center.

After Director Shang arrived at work, he summarized the completion status of investment targets in various regions.

In the midst of busyness, a staff member hurriedly walked in and said, "Leader, I found a problem."

"Hmm?"

"The parent company of this Yellow Mud Hillock Tin Toy Factory, TEP (China), is not registered."

"What do you mean?"

"There is no organizational code, and we can't find this company."

"Can't find it?"

Director Shang got up and went to the filing cabinet, took out a stack of materials from the Yellow Mud Hillock window, and quickly flipped through them. "How did the procedures for the toy factory get approved?"

"The Bureau of Industry was in charge of it, I'm not sure, but I heard that it solved 100 job positions."

"100 job positions?"

Director Shang lit a cigarette and said, "What kind of organization are we?"

"Investment Service Cooperation Center."

"The Bureau of Industry is not in a hurry, and we are just a unit that can be dismissed if we don't do a good job. What's the rush?"

"..."

"Besides, they obtained a loan of 500,000 yuan, set up a factory, and provided 100 job positions. They have to pay at least 50,000 yuan in salary every month, pay taxes, drive development, and promote employment. The factory is real, so what if the parent company is fake?"

"..."

"Sometimes, in critical situations, it's better to be confused."

"Thank you for your guidance, leader!"

"But if TEP doesn't have an organizational code now, it may still not have one in the future, which could cause big trouble. I'll go to the Bureau of Industry."

Gucheng County.

Administration for Industry and Commerce.

After Mr. Gong arrived at work, he also learned about the TEP registration issue.

When the township secretary of Yellow Mud Hillock came to handle the procedures overnight, he personally stamped them and obtained special approvals from many leaders.

Not only did he approve the factory-related matters, but also inspections, food safety, and even helped them obtain the 3C certification.Now, 100 villagers have already started working, and the toy factory has entered the production phase.

Looking at the data from the report, the daily output is 10,000, with each piece costing one and a half yuan...

After deducting discounts and subsidies, the monthly tax payment is about 27,000, and the annual tax payment is over 300,000. This does not include the personal tax that needs to be paid from employee salaries, as well as other taxes and fees generated by the birth of secondary industries. If it's for export trade, the tax rate would be even higher.

"I just hope that this TEP Company really hasn't completed the procedures, otherwise, I don't know what to do."

Factory Director Gong rubbed his face, looked up and saw Director Shang, "What wind blew you here?"

"The wind from the tin fan."

"You know about it too?"

Factory Director Gong asked, then picked up the landline to dial a number, "Has the investment promotion team returned?"

"They will be at Yellow Mud Hillock soon."

"How is the toy factory you applied for last time?"

"Almost done."

"I'll go there today and go through the capital verification process."

"Do you need to come in person for capital verification? I think you don't trust me!"

"There might be... deep waters in this!"

"What do you mean?"

"I couldn't find the enterprise code for TEP."

"How could they have an organization code if they haven't completed the procedures?"

"I hope that's the case."

"Forget it, come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Alright, I'll set off now, should be there around ten."

Factory Director Gong put down the phone and looked at Director Shang, "Are you going too?"

"For a foreign enterprise that we attracted locally, we definitely need to show our support."

"I hope it's not a disaster. Ride with us, the unit just got two new cars."

......

"Little Xu, come, this is our county's big leader from the Bureau of Industry, Factory Director Gong."

"Hello, leader!"

"This is the director of the Investment Promotion Office of Gu City, Director Shang."

"Hello, leader!"

"Two leaders, this is the factory director of the TEP Company's toy factory at Yellow Mud Hillock, Xu Fei."

Just as the introductions were finished, a brand new Tiger Head Ben drove up to the entrance.

License plate number: 44444

'This damned Half Blind Huang, getting this kind of license plate, is he planning to curse me to die young so he can inherit his uncle's billions?'
