Chapter 92 – Go to East Mountain again

The old man from the Armed Forces will definitely help Xu Fei.

The reason for setting conditions was just a joke, and it also gave the staff next to him time to understand the "dog theft incident".

Soon, the latter hung up the phone, wrote and drew, and listed the whole incident from beginning to end.

At this moment, the old man from the Armed Forces is the superior of Jiang Tao, the military factory, and he does not know Xu Dayou, let alone the evidence Xu Dayou holds.

"Xu kid, are you trying to use the power of the Swamp City to expose the 'mastermind'?"

"Not to expose the mastermind, but to send the mastermind in."

"Hmm?"

"Zeng Dahe would not plan this, and Hu Zhen would not plan this either, but both of them were at the scene. Obviously, there is someone with higher authority forcing them to execute it. Therefore, the mastermind is likely to be Zeng Dahe's father-in-law.

And Zeng Dahe's father-in-law stayed in the Swamp City for six years. These young parents must have some evidence. If they bring it out, I will give the young ones a settlement agreement. If they don't bring it out, the young ones will be stuck in prison."

"Oh, what evidence?"

"It's like this..."

Xu Fei repeated Old Xu's discovery.

The old man had heard Xu Dayou talk about it before, and hearing it again, he still sighed, "I didn't expect the most common thing to become a breeding ground for worms... However, Zeng Dahe's father-in-law's promotion does not necessarily mean a real promotion. It is possible that the discipline side relaxed his vigilance and exposed his flaws, allowing further investigation. Your plan may disrupt the deployment on the discipline side."

"Will they dare to expose it?"

"..."

"So, I prefer to be rough. As long as it is confirmed that Zeng Dahe's father-in-law planned the dog theft incident, it is not a problem to send him in."

"Nine million is enough for him to sit in prison for a lifetime. Let me arrange for my friend to talk privately with the parents of the young ones, put pressure on them to bring out the evidence, and give them a chance to save their own children. As for the military dogs, I will handle it, which will appear more formal than if you handle it."

"Then I'll trouble you, old man."

"I will arrange for someone to handle it. Let's talk about something else."

"What?"

"Can you sell me a diesel engine and many matching parts? Coincidentally, another department bought the tracks and chassis from your company..."

"Another department?"

"Yes, Northern Industries."

"How much did they buy it for?"

"It was very expensive, over 30 million."

"It is indeed expensive. If you buy..."

Xu Fei thought of the piles of dismantled parts and decided to sell in bulk, "One million for the tracks with the assembly, and five million for the chassis with the drive wheels."

"How much?"

"Internal price."

"..."

The old man really wanted to ask if he could return the previous 30 million.

At the same time, he gave up on Xu Dayou's special identity in his heart. The price for a biological father is not as good as the internal price, "How many do you have?"

"Coincidentally, there are two sets, including the order you placed, and a turret. They will arrive tomorrow morning."

"Package them all, and I will give you a discount."

When we have time to chat.

"Xiao Xu, did you handle my advanced equipment?"

"Sorry, leader. I have been busy transferring things for the Armed Forces recently."

"Xiao Xu, has my advanced equipment arrived?"

"Sorry, leader. I have been busy transferring things for the Armed Forces recently and forgot about your matter."

"Xiao Xu, my advanced equipment..."

"Huh? Leader, when did you ask me for advanced equipment?"

After three or four times, can Director Liang not be anxious?

In the future, if there is something, he will have to rush to help.

Xu Fei thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he decided to do it this way in the future.

After that, he picked up the manuscript of "Gua Dynasty" and went to the design company floor, using the internal communicator to summon the department heads for a meeting.

Soon.

Dozens of people gathered in the meeting room.

"Xiao Tang, how many staff members does the design company have?"

"215."

"Expanding so fast?"

"After the establishment of the company and the division of departments, we recruited a new batch. Design Department 1 to 5 is responsible for updating 'Mechanical Three Kingdoms', with ten members in each department. Design Department 6 to 10 is responsible for creating 'Mechanical Three Kingdoms' comics, with five members in each department.

Design Department 11 to 15 is responsible for coordinating with the computer service company to create 'Mechanical Three Kingdoms' GIFs, with five members in each department. In addition, packaging, large posters, product brochures, etc., are each handled by multiple departments."

"Let me see the comics."

With the existence of the Military Advisor Corps and the Operations Center, Xu Fei rarely pays attention to peripheral products.

But not paying attention does not mean that the Military Advisor Corps and the Secretary Corps do not report.

The comics produced by the design department, including GIFs, are all based on sketch templates.The computer hackers called these templates "displacement diagrams" and said that the more they created, the more enriched their own material library would be for entering the gaming industry in the future.

Unfortunately, the hacker group of fifty people has not been able to find an excellent game engine.

In hacker terms: Engine + Database = Game.

Without a program to drive these materials, the database alone cannot form a game.

At that time, Xu Fei thought of the computer that came with the production line.

He entered the construction diagram into it, and the screen generated various dynamic images, along with various data.

When he told the head of the hackers about this, the other party said that it might be an advanced 3DMAX, not a game engine, but it could be used to create game content.

Therefore, the computer that came with the ten traditional tin toy production lines was given to the hackers to create game materials for the Mechanical Three Kingdoms, waiting for an excellent game engine to be found before launching their first game with a sci-fi mecha style.

In this way, the industrial chain of the design department became:

Product → Sketch → Comic → GIF → Animation → Game.

With the same models, colors, and sound effects, fictionalize some skills based on the characters' backgrounds, and then create all of this into a super brand.

At the same time, Tang Mo returned to the office, holding two stacks of drafts, and said, "Factory Director, we now have two ideas and two different stories."

"Is it the same as when we designed the Mechanical Three Kingdoms?"

"Yes, one is that the machines are alive, like Transformers. The other is that the machines are wearable devices with additional characters."

As Tang Mo spoke, he raised the drawing board and listed two ideas. "Our existing Mechanical Three Kingdoms toys follow the second route. According to the original plan, the characters are ancient people who transform into machines when they enter battle, so all the heads use human templates.

The problem is that to create comics, animations, and games, we need a story as the main framework. If we use the story of the Three Kingdoms, our style of these materials does not match the ancient style.

The suggestion from the Literature Department is to learn from Transformers and create a sci-fi world, forming a space version of the Three Kingdoms. The other story is to learn from Gundam and focus on a modern background."

Xu Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "What does the Operations Center think?"

"The selling point of the Three Kingdoms is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If it is changed to a space or modern version, the popularity will decrease significantly. The Operations Center insists on an ancient story."

"How about this..."

Xu Fei summoned a translucent panel and found a data disk in an internet cafe. "It is still the end of the Han Dynasty. Suddenly, one day, this world undergoes some strange changes. As long as anyone works hard, they can obtain a mysterious power called 'Awakening'."

Tang Mo's eyes lit up. "I understand! After awakening, they can summon bronze battle armor, and then upgrade to silver battle armor..."

"You think it's Saint Seiya."

"We can use that kind of setting and move it to the end of the Han Dynasty."

"No, that is too limiting. Let's try a different approach. By adventuring, treasure hunting, strengthening, and synthesizing, they can enhance their own mechanical devices and ultimately create various powerful Three Kingdoms generals."

"Then it becomes a game, right?"

"Why is Zhang Fei so powerful?"

"Why?"

"He kills a lot of pigs and gains a lot of experience."

"According to your logic, Liu Bei is also very powerful. He can keep up with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he hasn't killed any pigs."

"He has life skills. He makes a lot of straw shoes and gains a lot of experience."

"..."

"Getting off track. In summary, use 'Awakening' as the background for the story, focus on dialogue in the comic, focus on combat in the animation, and focus on gameplay in the game. Isn't that settled?"

"Let's discuss it again when we go back."

"Okay."

Xu Fei spread out the manuscript for "Gua Dynasty" and said, "The Factory Director has designed a new product, mainly targeting South Korea, or rather, let's try it there first. If the market response is good, the design consulting company is prepared to create a second brand product."

"Isn't this the frog monster on your desk?"

"Gua Dynasty."

Tang Mo saw the dangerous look and quickly corrected himself, "Yes, Factory Director, Gua Dynasty."

"Well, we don't need to fictionalize the specific story. I only require that the appearance of these products be round, funny, not harmful to the hands, and the voice acting should be the same, as much as possible to appeal to children's attention."

"Then I will set up a new department specifically responsible for this new product."

"The physical store in South Korea will open in three days. I hope to finalize it tonight, produce a batch tomorrow, and air freight it over the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Factory Director."

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

The next day.

At five o'clock in the morning, Lou Xiaohu said that Cheng Guang came to visit.Xu Fei left the dormitory building and signaled the second leader of Swamp City to enter the Tiger Head Benz.

Then, escorted by two Golden Cup Seals, he arrived at the Large Swamps Power Plant.

It was still dark, and on both sides of the nine-arch bridge and the large square in front of the gate, there were many thirty-meter-high lighthouses, each equipped with six 800-watt tungsten halogen lamps, all of which were turned on, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day.

At the entrance of the maintenance workshop, two trailers were using a gantry crane to transport a light tank chassis with a track assembly and a complete Grizzly tank.

Previously, Old Xu's customer purchased tracks and chassis, and he didn't know what they were used for, so he had to dismantle them.

This time, the old man from the Armed Forces wanted them, so there was no need to go through the trouble of dismantling and assembling. It just happened that the old man wanted a turret, so they brought a complete one.

Anyway, TEP transported it here, and we are just workers, what can we do?

However, it took two days to assemble a complete Grizzly tank by dismantling and repairing. Currently, there was only one, and they still needed to dismantle other parts, so Xu Fei had to build another one overnight.

In addition, he contacted a foreign trade merchant to help obtain more rare earth minerals.

He had a feeling that after this, the old man from the Armed Forces might place a whole vehicle order.

On the other side, Cheng Guang got off the car and saw the scene in the distance. He couldn't help but light a cigarette and comb the few remaining strands of hair on his bald head with the help of the gentle breeze. "Xiao Xu, what is this?"

"Don't you recognize it?"

"Where are you planning to go?"

"East Mountain Prefecture, to do something big!"

"What about the three million we were supposed to get back?"

"What three million?"

"The incident with the stolen Golden Skin Jumping Frog."

"Oh, that little money doesn't matter. With these two tanks and accessories, I estimate we can exchange them for two billion."

"Oh, selling tanks scared me."

"These advanced guys are worth at least 20 million dollars each, but I don't think the East Mountain Armed Forces can afford this price, so we can only go with an internal price."

"TEP?"

"Yes."

"Aren't they selling toys?"

"Isn't this a toy?"

"..."

"Cheng bro, I know why you came. Regarding the incident with the stolen dog, you help me put pressure on the parents of that young man, and there's no need to persuade me."

Cheng Guang had long known about Old Xu's situation and even had a deep conversation with him in his capacity as an organization member, advising him not to go into business. "I'm not here to persuade you. I just want to ask if you are confident in getting him in."

"You also know that he is Zeng Dahe's father-in-law?"

"Why is Swamp City so poor, and why did I transfer from Dongshan Peninsula? Including the leaders of Swamp City, they have all been transferred to Dongshan Prefecture. Now... I feel it's time to clean up."

"It seems that there are big moves from above."

"Huh, that county's richest man is just a mascot, compared to his father-in-law, he's a hundred thousand miles behind."

"Electricity is a good thing."

Xu Fei said something irrelevant, looking in the direction of the power plant, feeling melancholy. He glanced at Cheng Guang smoking, suddenly wanting to smoke as well, but Old Xu was staring at him. "Bro, go back to sleep. What are you looking at?"

"Be careful on the road." Old Xu sighed secretly.

He really wanted his only son to honestly make toys and try not to get involved in the Armed Forces.

However, whether it was the old leaders or the laborers from foreign enterprises, they all pushed his son into the pit.

"Earn money, earn a lot of money, and when the time comes, let Xu Fei resign from the foreign enterprise and take over my position, doing construction work."

Old Xu made up his mind and turned to walk towards the construction site.

Xu Fei watched him leave and turned his head to look at the outline of the super large factory in the distance.

A week ago, he took out 100 million RMB and issued 10 steel procurement tender documents, which were snatched away that night.

Basically, they were sold for three cents per kilogram, cheaper than scrap iron.

Now, the first batch of steel had arrived, and the construction of the Rhino tank production workshop was about to begin.

When the second batch of steel arrived, they would start building the power plant.

At the same time, they would build a Grizzly production workshop, dismantling and repairing, trying to produce a few machine tools to sell to the leaders of the Development and Reform Commission.

"A good commander, wandering around, has actually become a second-hand dealer."

Xu Fei felt even more melancholy.

After a long time, the two trailers were loaded, covered with heavy canvas, and a pass issued by the old man from the Armed Forces was pasted on the windshield.

At the same time, fifty engineers entered ten Golden Cup Seals in batches, dispersing in all directions, escorting the Tiger Head Benz and the trailers, driving onto the provincial road, heading straight to Dongshan Prefecture.
