"You found the people from Xizhou?"
Wu Lingling, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, her eyes instantly brightening at Wang Yu's words.
Her past experiences told her that although Wang Yu was a blockhead obsessed with machinery and gears, and in some ways utterly foolish, prone to dramatic outbursts and impulsive actions, he was exceptionally insightful, capable, and strategic when it came to important matters!
Therefore, anything he took the initiative to do must have been something he was absolutely confident about and that offered significant benefits!
Even if those benefits weren't apparent now, they were sure to materialize in the future!
Countless people had doubted Wang Yu before, but Wu Lingling had never harbored a single doubt!
"You could say that."
Wang Yu shrugged in response to Wu Lingling's question.
"Didn't I help your brother get through that difficult situation with the trap set by the Mu family and Star Shipbuilding Company? Then I asked him to spread the information about the whole affair through Qinglu Group's channels, especially to Xizhou."
Organizing his thoughts, Wang Yu said with a hint of pride in his voice,
"My automated mechanical production and processing lines can perform parts processing according to requirements once the parameters are calibrated. They are particularly suitable for large-scale, high-precision component manufacturing, with efficiency, speed, and cost that are more than 10 times that of ordinary production lines! They also save a lot of human resources, at least 20 times the manpower!"
"You know, this is a godsend for large-scale manufacturing enterprises! The larger their production scale, the more they can save with these assembly lines!"
Wang Yu nodded at Wu Lingling.
"So I asked your brother to help spread the word, and the large companies in Xizhou would definitely be tempted! I also asked the Ice Bear Kingdom to help spread the information, as they border Xizhou and have many business dealings."
"Of course, none of this was free. I gave your brother 5 million as a promotional fee, and the Ice Bear Kingdom also received 2 million."
"However, the Ice Bear Kingdom's payment was in the form of equivalent goods like food and clothing. Their domestic economic crisis is worsening, and those fellows even hinted to me if I wanted their advanced equipment for military production plants, and also offered to issue fake invoices..."
Listening to Wang Yu, Wu Lingling suddenly interrupted him.
"Wait! What did you say?"
"I refused the Ice Bear Kingdom's offer of fake invoices," Wang Yu replied, adding with a helpless sigh, "No wonder their economic crisis is getting worse; it's rotten to the core! Before, they insisted they couldn't sell me heavy-duty advanced equipment, but now they'll sell for money!
You see, Andre hasn't been around these past few days, right? He's gone back to their country to personally negotiate an important matter for me..."
"No, I'm not interested in those guys issuing fake invoices or that big oaf Andre!" Wu Lingling interrupted Wang Yu's rambling, asking very seriously and earnestly,
"You said you gave my brother 5 million to help with publicity?"
"Yes, that's right," Wang Yu nodded. "It seems to be working well now; this 5 million advertising fee has been quite effective."
"Many large enterprises from Xizhou seem to be attracted now. Those people just now were their lackeys."
Wang Yu said with a smile, drawing looks of admiration from those around him.
As expected of Wang Yu, his meticulous planning was flawless!
The people from the automobile factory were full of admiration, and Ding Jianwei and others from the Thirty-Six Seven Research Institute also felt confident about future cooperation with Wang Yu because of this.
Such a partner was incredibly reliable! The only pity was that they didn't get to thoroughly teach Song Yi and his gang a lesson just now!
"You big idiot!"
Wu Lingling stomped hard on Wang Yu's foot, not forgetting to grind it a few times.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wang Yu was somewhat helpless. Where had this woman's nerves gone wrong again? Why was she suddenly so angry?
And she keeps stepping on my feet; I'll have to wear steel-toed safety shoes next time to protect against crushing and piercing.
"Do you know where the 100 million deposit for that order by the Mu family came from in that incident?"
"It seems your former fiancé, wasn't it? He covered it."
Wang Yu thought for a moment, recalling that person who seemed to be male and had male preferences. He had a deep impression of him.
After their last meeting, when the other party expressed his interest in him, Wang Yu had wished he could flee far away.
"That's right! Mu Qingying, that sissy, cleaned up Mu Yuntao's mess. To avoid affecting the Mu family's normal cash flow, that 100 million was borrowed by Mu Qingying from a bunch of friends in Xizhou! His friends all have formidable backgrounds and are considered high-society figures in Xizhou."
Wu Lingling said with a hateful expression.
"So...?" Wang Yu pondered.
"So, your dealings have already been spread throughout Xizhou's upper-class society through Mu Qingying's mouth. Do you think those tiny places have that complex of relationships and circles?"
Wu Lingling said impatiently, "The 5 million fee you gave my brother was completely wasted. If I had known, you should have just given it to me! With this extra 5 million profit, I could be one step closer to my little goal! As for those fellows from the Ice Bear Kingdom... you at least got some advanced equipment, so it wasn't a total loss. Of course, don't even mention their fake invoice nonsense; you weren't involved anyway."
"But with my brother, you completely threw the money away like it was going into water!"
Seeing Wu Lingling's exasperated expression of wanting to be a dragon but instead being a child, everyone else was speechless.
So that's how it was?
In that case, wouldn't Wang Yu have suffered a loss? This was unusual; it was the first time they had seen it!
"Oh? According to what you're saying, I'm already well-known in Xizhou?"
Wang Yu, instead of being dejected as expected by everyone, became even happier.
"Hey, hey, hey! Aren't you paying attention to the main point? You wasted 5 million on my brother! You're usually such a shrewd person; how could you be so muddled now? You should have at least discussed it with me!"
Wu Lingling said helplessly, though she might have been feeling the pinch of that 5 million herself.
"No, it wasn't wasted. Maybe it can be used as a betrothal gift in the future?" Wang Yu suddenly said with a smile, but his voice was very low, audible only to Wu Lingling beside him.
"You... you... you scoundrel!" Wu Lingling's face instantly turned red, and she couldn't utter a single word. Of course, she stopped stomping on Wang Yu's foot.
The others around were speechless. What were these two lovebirds mumbling about? Why were they alternating between anger and laughter?
However, regardless of their confusion, they all knew that Wang Yu had definitely become famous this time!
Simply with his automated mechanical production lines, which could increase output by tenfold and reduce costs by tenfold, they were sure to drive all manufacturing giants crazy!
"Little Factory Manager, those people are back!"
Feng Daochun suddenly spoke, pointing towards Wang Yu in the distance.
"Look, their expressions this time seem to indicate they've completely got us cornered!"
