The Jianghan City government building was bustling with activity today, with personnel from many departments coming to witness the spectacle.
It was said that a young man had directly brought a cartload of documents to apply for patents, which caused the director of the Patent Office, Yan Donglai, to become so agitated that he fainted.
Yes, that's right, he was just too agitated. After all, their Patent Office, a rather uneventful department, hadn't had much work in who knows how long. Suddenly having so much work piled on them would require him to work overtime until midnight without rest for a long time. It was understandable that he would be excited... or so it seemed.
Let's just assume Yan Donglai's reaction was due to excitement!
At least everyone in the government building saw him with a very peculiar smile, borrowing over ten people from other departments and making several trips to unload all the documents from that oddly shaped large bus.
That smile clearly indicated immense excitement, filled with a deep and profound desire for work and career... yes, that's probably it!
However, the exterior of the bus was quite novel and unique, seemingly unseen before. The vehicle had no license plates, only temporary permits for road use. Its origin was unknown.
While people from other departments in the government building were chattering and gossiping, the Patent Office plunged into a large-scale, frantic overtime session.
As for Wang Yu, the protagonist of the story, he had already found a place to take a nap, catching up on some sleep.
Then, he leisurely drove the bus to the bus manufacturing plant.
That's right, the vehicle he was currently driving was the first prototype model assembled from various components as part of the super bus project in collaboration with the bus manufacturing plant.
The entire production process of the vehicle was completed under Wang Yu's personal supervision. The finest and highest quality components were selected. As for the most important load-bearing component, the chassis, which was like the spine of a human body, it was also known as the main beam.
After acquiring the steel mill, Wang Yu specifically used his special high-manganese alloy steel to produce the chassis frame.
Yes... it was the same special high-manganese alloy steel he had used in his previous competition with He Dao.
Weighing only one-third of a normal chassis, its wear resistance, tensile strength, and durability were absolutely superior to any competitor on the market!
Even He Dao admitted inferiority; how could there be any domestic competitors?
In addition, numerous other parts incorporated Wang Yu's specialized designs, which finally brought this bus into existence!
Although the process was very troublesome and time-consuming, the final result was extremely gratifying.
The final produced bus could definitely crush all competitors and completely monopolize the industry!
Putting aside other aspects, the most immediate sensation was that Wang Yu experienced none of the agonizing jolts and bumps that were typical of conventional buses during his drive.
While it couldn't compare to the luxury business cars of later generations, it was still remarkable, especially considering how terrible the road conditions were during this era!
At least, if the long-distance bus stations adopted such vehicles, Wu Lingling wouldn't experience motion sickness like before, right?
Wang Yu muttered to himself as he arrived at the bus manufacturing plant.
Qian Guotao was both surprised and delighted by his sudden arrival.
He was surprised because he had arranged for Wang Jinhui to liaign with Wang Yu for business matters, yet there had been no information returned, and the manufacturing was completed so silently.
He was delighted because Wang Yu had personally delivered the actual vehicle. With a finished product right in front of him, those people like Qiu Jie should have no excuse to block him anymore.
"Little Wang brother, why did you suddenly show up? You didn't even give me advance notice?"
Qian Guotao greeted Wang Yu enthusiastically and stepped forward to shake his hand.
He then asked with some confusion, "Didn't I arrange for your cousin, Wang Jinhui, to meet with you in Jiangyang County for the super bus cooperation project? Why haven't I received any news from him?"
Qian Guotao's question was filled with doubt, but his gaze was fixed on the bus behind Wang Yu.
Such a novel and unique-looking product was undoubtedly the finished product of the previous super bus project!
"Heh, you mean him." Wang Yu replied to Qian Guotao with a peculiar expression, unsure how to answer.
Previously, Wang Jinhui had used the name of the bus manufacturing plant to sneak into her factory with ill intentions. Although Wang Yu had orchestrated the entire plan and foiled his scheme, it had made Wang Yu extremely wary of this fellow, suspecting he was up to no good.
Therefore, Wang Yu had decided to independently trial-produce the super bus project vehicle and directly came to the bus manufacturing plant to see Qian Guotao without informing Wang Jinhui.
After all, one should deal with those who have the authority to make decisions. Dealing with the gatekeepers was difficult, but the king was easier to approach; this was one of Wang Yu's most profound lessons from his past life.
By directly negotiating with Qian Guotao, the person in charge, everything could be resolved smoothly. As for Wang Jinhui...
Because this guy was so bothersome, and had previously conspired with the second uncle and a group of old folks to threaten him with expulsion from the family tree, Wang Yu felt extremely annoyed. He then called Brother Hu and Boss Zhao to "entertain" his cousin properly.
So, if Wang Yu's guess was correct, that scoundrel was likely squatting in some corner, suffering from diarrhea, and perhaps even... cough cough!
After all, Brother Hu and Boss Zhao were skilled at making people suffer!
Of course, he couldn't tell Qian Guotao about this. Wang Yu could only play it down. Fortunately, Qian Guotao's entire attention was focused on the new bus, and he had no time to concern himself with Wang Jinhui's situation.
Since this fellow's efficiency was so poor, he would dock his salary for three to four months later!
Thinking this, Qian Guotao followed Wang Yu directly onto the new bus and took it for a test drive on the passenger transport plant's testing grounds.
To his surprise, the performance was truly extraordinary. It was both stable and fast, with minimal bumps. Especially the seats.
They were made with very advanced materials and design, offering soft cushioning, making it a sheer pleasure!
"Little Wang, this is truly fantastic!"
As soon as Qian Guotao got off the bus, he excitedly exclaimed to Wang Yu.
After personally testing it, he was completely convinced by Wang Yu's previous words; this product would indeed bring them unparalleled market monopoly.
"Let's immediately arrange for large-scale mass production of the vehicles!"
Before Qian Guotao could finish his excited words, a deep voice was heard.
"Wait a moment!"
