The ugly frog monster temporarily failed to gain recognition from the villagers of Yellow Mud Hillock.

Instead, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were racing on horseback, attracted countless people.

"Such a big iron guy, can't even hear the sound of the engine."

"I guess it's using an electric motor."

"Nonsense, if not an electric motor, then a spring?"

"Hey, you may not believe it, but it really is a spring."

"Nonsense, which metal has such great elasticity?"

"Don't you understand? It uses a phosphor bronze alloy spring."

"Huh? Factory Director Little Xu, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to enlighten you!"

"......"

In the past, Xu Fei had made alloys at the scrap purchasing station to test energy gains.

For example, aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy.

Later, because the energy gains were not as good as iron, he never tried again.

A few days ago, when repairing the tank factory module, the basic production line was upgraded again, and a new production process was obtained: electrolysis.

According to the introduction, this is an electrochemical reaction used for smelting and refining, which can purify non-ferrous metals, rare metals, and basic chemical substances.

Last night, when making a large mechanical horse, due to its own weight being too heavy, the ordinary spring could not drive it. Even if a pulley spring was designed, the data in all aspects was dismal due to the influence of the material.

Xu Fei thought of electrolysis and tried to make high-purity alloys.

During this period, he purchased a lot of scrap equipment from the electric fan factory, including motors and machine tools.

After consuming the iron, the remaining waste materials included copper, tin, magnesium, and some strange things.

Such as plastic, rubber, charcoal, graphite, phosphorus powder...

And through various combinations, "synthetic data" was obtained.

Some were hard, some were soft, and some had great elasticity but were prone to breakage.

Among them, an alloy called "beryllium bronze" surpassed all other alloys in terms of toughness, elasticity, hardness, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance. It was the king of elasticity and the best choice for making springs.

But it was radioactive and carcinogenic.

Later, titanium bronze was tried.

Its characteristics were second only to beryllium bronze, but the cost was too high.

In the end, Xu Fei chose phosphor bronze composed of copper, tin, and phosphorus.

Compared with beryllium bronze and titanium bronze, the data fell short, but the cost-effectiveness was the highest.

However, the electrolysis technology applied to the electric furnace increased energy acquisition by 1, enhanced product quality by 50%, doubled power, and halved production.

After calculating, Xu Fei found that previously, he produced 80,000 pieces per day, and with electroplating technology, the energy gained was 160,000. Now, by using both electrolysis and electroplating technologies, he produced 40,000 pieces per day, and the energy gained per piece was 2, totaling 120,000.

Therefore, the electrolysis technology was temporarily idle.

Moreover, it was just making iron skin toys, why bother making them so sturdy?

Armor Three Kingdoms, or Armored Jumping Frog?

10 o'clock in the morning.

The cameraman was in position.

The village leaders arrived one after another, followed by the county leaders.

Director Shang pulled Xu Fei aside, "Someone is inquiring about the Iron Skin Toy Factory and TEP. They probably have ill intentions."

"Do you know who it is?"

"I'm not sure, but why hasn't TEP's foreign investment application been approved yet? Which city did they apply in? I'll help urge the company for you."

"I just joined the company, how would I know about this? I'll ask later."

"Okay, be more careful."

The foreign investment application referred to the establishment of TEP Company and obtaining the organizational code.

Xu Fei also wanted to get it, but it would take at least half a month to process the passports and visas of the two engineers. After that, they would go to Jamaica and then to the Roman Archipelago. It was estimated that they would not receive the materials from the offshore company until late November in the lunar calendar, or January in the Gregorian calendar.

As for who was inquiring.

There was no need to ask. It was either the Factory Director of Small Lake Town Toy Factory or the richest man in the county.

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

Gucheng County.

Dahe Construction Company.

Under the sculpture of Guan Yu, where red light and incense filled the air, sat a bald fat man.

This person had a fat head, big ears, a gold necklace, and a string of agate rings on his fingers.

In the distance, on the sofa near the door, Hu Zhen was flipping through two pages of materials. On the coffee table in front of him, there were some newspapers from Dongshan.

"Look, with just these four or five iron skin toys, they took away one-third of our foreign trade business. If the Iron Skin Company produces dolls and plastic toys, what's the point of us setting up a new toy factory?"

"Don't worry, it's disturbing my thoughts."

"Big brother, Living Buddha, we have to take action."

"My subordinates have investigated. The investor of the Iron Skin Toy Factory is TEP. According to rumors, this is a large multinational company from Germany."

"Yes."

"Do you know that we can't find any information about TEP, and even when I asked people in Germany, they said they don't know this company."

"Maybe it's an individual, or maybe it's an offshore company."

"It's scary to be uneducated."

"......""Whether it's a foreigner or a foreign enterprise doing business in China, they must first submit an application for a foreign-funded enterprise, a feasibility study report, the articles of association of the foreign-funded enterprise, and investor credit certificates, and so on.

Only by establishing a company in China, obtaining an organizational code, can they carry out various investments as an 'investment entity', either wholly-owned or joint venture, and become a foreign-funded enterprise themselves.

If there is no 'investment entity' but a foreign-funded factory is established, the consequences can be big or small.

On the small side, the factory has already been established, and the company representative exists. They should pay taxes and expand production. Both the local government and the foreign enterprise are happy.

On the big side, if the investment entity is not clear, who knows what your purpose is for investing in China? Shorting the market? Absorbing Chinese wealth? Or engaging in some undisclosed activities? Maybe even the leaders who approved the factory documents will be sent in."

Hu Zhen pondered for a moment, "Are you saying that we should make a big deal out of this?"

"You're not too stupid."

"..."

"Gong, who helped Xu Dayou speak a few words at the time, was kicked out of Swamp City by my father-in-law and demoted to our county. Shang, who was beaten by me for certain projects back then, these two people have been a bit restless recently. It's better to send them all in and let them reflect on how to be good leaders."

"You're amazing, solving the problem with just a few words."

"You have to use your brain when doing things, you stupid pig."

"..."

"You don't need those security guards and vans anymore."

"Do you want to imprison those militiamen on charges?"

"No, the people in Yellow Mud Hillock are like that. We won't win the case, and I'm afraid they will beat you to death. In the future, no one will support my wisdom."

"..."

Hu Zhen silently contemplated for a moment and slammed the door as he left.

The bald fat man continued to sit cross-legged under the statue of Guan Yu, "Disciple Zeng Dahe has committed grave sins...

...

The opening ceremony of the toy factory was grand and extraordinary.

There were dazzling Ah Jin and Ah Yin.

There were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei racing on horseback.

There were neatly dressed workshop workers.

There were over fifty production lines representing high-tech.

There were also diverse large canteens, electronic computer rooms, and standardized logistics fleets...

And nearly two thousand photos of the business operations of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives from all over East Mountain.

Under the promotion of the East Mountain Council, the Tin Toy Factory not only appeared on the evening news of three TV stations in the county, city, and province, but also on Qilu Daily, East Mountain Commercial News, and East Mountain Economic News...

For a while, the newly released Three Kingdoms mechanical toy was sold out before it even reached the county.

And a certain agricultural and sideline product company under the provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative saw its stock hit the daily limit on the same day.

Therefore, on the day after the opening ceremony, the chief of the East Mountain Council, an old lady with white hair, specially came to the Tin Toy Factory and presented a three-meter-long wooden carving of 'Unity in Adversity'.

Xu Fei called Lou Nannan and accompanied the old lady on a tour of the toy factory.

"Toys and agriculture are ultimately unrelated. When we received the suggestions from the leaders of Swamp City, there was a lot of opposition from the council. But everyone knows that the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is in decline. Without new opportunities and policies, it is difficult to restore its former glory.

But there are too many laid-off workers. Sitting in this position, I don't want to bear the blame. So I took on the pressure and organized this event. Now it seems to have been temporarily successful."

The old lady may be too old and a bit chatty, but her self-talk revealed a lot of information.

For example, the China Central Cooperative has 20 billion shares of capital, and it is currently losing 4 billion, causing members from all over to withdraw their 'stocks'. But because the capital was used to purchase assets, the China Central Cooperative only has a few billion left in its account, which is not enough to fulfill its obligations, resulting in a significant devaluation of the 'stocks'. (Not the stocks in the stock market)

The leaders in South Zhonghai are worried about a major crisis and intend to absorb private capital to solve the problem of members withdrawing their capital. In the next round of reforms, private capital will become shareholders of companies under the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and enjoy the benefits of the company's listing.

Xu Fei pondered.

This is not much different from his previous speculation.

And at this stage, they can only say it's preliminary cooperation. It won't be a problem for the toy factory to expand, and it won't be a problem for the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to inventory its assets.

If the old lady is trying to deceive him now, over a thousand Supply and Marketing Cooperatives in East Mountain will close again, and the toy factory, which relies mainly on foreign trade, will not suffer much loss. But the stock prices of the companies under the Supply and Marketing Cooperative will plummet.

Coupled with the crisis of capital withdrawal, this will lead to a major upheaval.

Therefore, they need to increase their efforts to acquire capital.

After seeing off the old lady, Xu Fei returned to his office and calculated in the account book.

Old Huang took away a loan of one million yuan, which was used to set up sales points and did not use the sales revenue.

There were 450,000 tin toys, of which 100,000 were warhorses, priced at 2 yuan on the first day and increased to 5 yuan later. There were 350,000 sets, priced at 6 yuan per set.

Total sales: 2.55 million.Xu Fei immediately awarded himself a bonus of 1.5 million, then set aside 300,000 for taxes, and the rest was given to Lou Nannan for the acquisition of shares in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Swamp City and its surrounding areas.

The remaining 1 million was originally supposed to be allocated to the power maintenance department for the construction of two thermal power plants in Yun County and Dongming, and a 220kV high-voltage cable leading to the new Large Swamps Toy Factory, with an average construction cost of 10,000 per kilometer.

However, the power department, because they didn't use the two thermal power plants currently used by Yellow Mud Hillock and the Electric Fan Factory, demanded that they pay for the construction, including costs for cables, electric towers, land compensation, and relationship building...

Therefore, Xu Fei tactfully declined their construction proposal, contacted the bureau, and helped his engineers get affiliated with the city's power department.

For things like electric towers and cables, they used the method taught by the Malaysians, which was 'half-built power plant'.

That is, they only used the electric towers that came with the power plant module, chose to build, paused after the tower appeared, changed the location, and then chose to build the tower again...

This project would last for a month and required the construction of 20 engineers.

They had been accumulating energy for the past two days and had just started today.

Therefore, the remaining 1 million was used to repay the 1 million loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and then Director Shang was asked to help apply for a 5 million interest-free loan.

Xu Fei always felt uneasy without owing some money.

After all the hustle and bustle.

Three blue and white official cars arrived in the yard. Looking at the license plates, they were from East Mountain Prefecture, and the side doors were respectively printed with 'Quality and Technical Supervision' and 'Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine'.
