Chapter 113: Before the exhibition
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
“1, 2, 3, 4, …… ”
Ye Qing stood on the dock and just like counting candy, counted 26 chase boats.
The boats came in all shapes and sizes, but no matter what, they all had the Anti Smuggling Unit painted on them in royal blue.
The boats, one after another, slowly approached the dock.
Ye Qing had already guessed their intentions, but never thought that they would come this quick and with this many. Who knew, maybe the chase boats in front of him were the Anti Smuggling Unit’s entire fleet.
The first boat was completely filled with acquaintances, who immediately shook Ye Qing’s hand when he got on shore.
“Mr. Ye, 26 chase boats in total, which makes up our entire fleet. So can you upgrade them all to have memory alloy hulls?” The leading officer, full of smiles, pointed to the long line behind him: “The metal your factory made is just too freaking awesome. Having seen that metal in action, our old hulls are just like pieces of crumpled paper.”
“Of course, of course.” Ye Qing stared at that line of boats as if they were fat sheep: “Some of the ships are slightly bigger than the rest, but I’ll give you guys a discount, 2,000,000 for each one of them.
“Sure sure, just make sure the quality is the same.” The officer straightened his back, meaning that they didn’t lack the funds at all.
“Ok then, I’ve got a bunch of alloy right now, I just need to get their measurements and we can start working.” Ye Qing called over two master artisans and had them go do some pretend measuring.
After conveniently taking the 3D camera from the office, and taking photographs of each ship, Ye Qing told him that the hulls would be ready tomorrow, and installation was going to take another day.
“Two days?” These police officers looked at each other with complete shock, as that speed was just too mind blowing, because they originally thought they needed to wait at least ten some days.
After completing measurements, the unit left behind five boats and ran. They would come back tomorrow and switch out the five with new ones as to not affect their daily operations.
52 million was the total upgrade fee, and 30 million of it was already wired over the next day as a down payment.
Of course, the more he made, the more income tax he had to pay. However, Ye Qing didn’t have to worry at all. The old factory was also under Ye Qing’s name, but his dad had this covered. After all, he has been doing this for decades now, and with the large expansion of the old factory, he also hired two professional accountants just so nothing went awry.
Ye Qing right now still owed the bank 22 million. Although he had all of next month to pay it off, since he was going to pay anyways, Ye Qing paid it all off immediately after receiving the wire transfer.
As for the 20 DMG 5 axis CNC lathes he bought yesterday, they all arrived one after another from nearby cities.
As these top tier equipment of the industrial sector arrived, the Monster Factory’s rankings also increased by two to take a firm seat all rank 15 within the local rankings.
As he got ever closer to the top 10, the five road blockers up front were all quite familiar to Ye Qing.
They were all large companies within Zhongyun’s industrial sector. Take [Hayden Electronics] ranked at #14 for example, they mainly focused on making washing machines, and their factory was worth around 500 million. Their sales were mainly targeted towards developing countries, which lead to a bunch of annual foreign exchanges for the country.
Ye Qing took a look at the two factory’s industrial index, and found a difference of only 30 some thousand, which could be made up for in just a couple of days.
Being within the top 10 of Zhongyun was only the beginning for Ye Qing. Surpassing Samsung, Sony, Airbus, Boeing, those world class international organizations, was Ye Qing’s true goal.
Of course, that dream might be kind of big right now, as a single Boeing 747 – 400 passenger jet could be sold for 200 million. That was just the price for the plane itself, which didn’t include any additional designs, facilities or parts. With Ye Qing current factory, he needed to work hard for at least half a year before he could make up for the price tag of only one of their products.
Lord Yu moving a mountain — wasn’t completed in just one day.
Ye Qing felt like he was Lord Yu on an excavator, and the mountain being moved was filled with explosives.
The path had already been clearly set, all that needed to be done now was to walk it.
The lathes were all placed within a newly built steel workshop. Ye Qing, unable to intervene in the setup process, left it all to a master artisan.
……………………
At noon, Ye Qing had movers move two rapid engraving machines from the factory to the downtown office.
Currently, all the exterior packaging of the mechanical engineered chairs was done in the basement warehouse of the Blue Sky Tower. Ye Qing pulled five chairs from there, and together with the engravers, sent them off to the Expo area in Shanghai.

There were two more days until the Shanghai Science and Technology Exhibition, which would take place in the gallery building.
That was Asia’s largest no support gallery. After hosting the World Expo in 2010, it was classified as a permanently preserved building, so it was commonly used for all kinds of exhibitions.
Being able to attend the exhibition this time was mainly thanks to Li Huaxing.
Different from all those companies that compete for an opportunity to display their products in front of an international audience, the main and only reason why Ye Qing was going was to screw over Kangyuan Inc..
Of course, being a national level exhibition, it naturally needed to be filled with all kinds of today’s advanced technologies, concepts, and the revaluation of all kinds of new products from all kinds of companies.
Even if there was no Kangyuan, Ye Qing was still willing to participate and to view the technical advances today, to see if he ‘learns’ anything which could provide him with an all new inspiration.
It was both a feast for the eyes, and a great learning opportunity.
Especially when Ye Qing now had the 3D camera and data glasses.
A massive bunch of reporters and audience members taking pictures left and right, while he has an era defining camera and a pair of data glasses mixed in.
That scene, just couldn’t be imagined……
“Hehe ~ ”
Of course, ending others’ livelihood wasn’t something Ye Qing would do. Everybody was there to learn and discuss; it was just that Ye Qing’s learning abilities were just too great.
His display room was situated in one of the furthest and worst corners possible. Adding on the fact that Ye Qing didn’t want to make a personal trip to do the decorations, he straight up sent Xu Xiaohu and two customer service girls to do it. While he would make the trip personally the day of.
As soon as he heard Ye Qing was sending him on a business trip, and he needed to stay there for a couple days, Xu Xiaohu was completely dejected and pitifully asked: “Uncle, it’s almost the day of Xu Ninggong’s new movie premier, and I was hoping to go watch it. Who knows, I might even be able to get her signature……”
“Young man, your career is much more important.” Ye Qing’s a tone that was just like an elder educating a youngster: “Just look at me, I haven’t even finished my placement matches yet. If I were to spend all my time on other things, then how could I grow the company this big?”
“When the time comes, I’ll probably be able to get you a signature.” Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, meaning he would definitely be going to the premier.
Xu Xiaohu, though still unwilling, left anyways. Yet just before he left, he left a picture with Ye Qing, begging him to get it signed.
Ye Qing originally thought it was a picture of Xu Ninggong, but wow, who would’ve thought that it was actually of him, moreover it was him in a western suit acting all cool and stuff.
How could this be?
Sending off Xu Xiaohu, Ye Qing took the time to drive back home, and looked through his old desk drawer.
After sorting through a bunch of junk, even finding two formerly popular MP3 players, Ye Qing finally found what he was looking for.
It was an already yellowing yearbook, where the front cover had the massively popular SHE printed on it.
Once he opened up the yearbook, the inside was filled with the dreams and wishes of old classmates and friends.
Of course, Xu Ninggong wasn’t inside, as they were put into different classes during grade 6. Ye Qing carefully tore off a clean page from the back. If he got the chance, he would also have her sign it, to make up for her missing out back then.
After carefully putting away the clean piece of yellowish paper, Ye Qing drove back to the Dragon Creek Beach.
Ye Qing was going to display the mechanical engineered chairs and the rapid metal engraving machines as his products at the international exhibition in two days, however no matter what he thought of, he always felt like he was missing something.
Missing a gift, for Kangyuan Inc..
That high end massage chair maker was seriously an ass. Not only did they hire a bunch of ghost writers, they even wanted to create an accident for the mechanical engineered chairs, to sink it into a literal PR nightmare.
The famous vlogger Lou Tianjun hasn’t contacted him yet, so Ye Qing wasn’t clear whether or not the incident was still going to happen.
However, in the end it didn’t really matter because even if it was acted out, it was still a free advertising opportunity for Ye Qing.
The exhibition was planned out by the Shanghai government, so when the time came, it would definitely be filled with reporters from all countries and international merchants looking for the next big thing.
For this kind of occasion, he must employ his most elegant and refined manners. As such, the gift Ye Qing prepares must also be a bit more refined, and a bit more tech savvy.
Such that as soon as people saw it, they would immediately think of how great it was, and how it so fit with the main theme of the science and technology exhibition.
