Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Laiyang Steel Plant.

As the sun sets in the west, a busy day at work comes to an end.

Master craftsman Zhang Wanhe put down his welding torch, took off his thick gloves, and hammered the newly welded firecracker a few times. He then heard someone muttering to himself.

"We've welded over three hundred pieces this afternoon, and we don't even know if it will work."

"Yes, once it's cut short, it can't be restored. If these things can't be sold, they'll have to be recycled!"

"I really don't know what our factory manager is thinking. He knows his son's situation perfectly well..."

"What's the fuss about?"

Zhang Wanhe glared at the group: "Without Qin Chuan, we would have been swindled by that Indian today! He only paid us 10% of the deposit, which wouldn't even cover the production costs or electricity bills. If we don't get the final payment, our factory will go bankrupt!"

“We know it’s Qin Chuan’s doing, but… he promised to find foreigners to buy the firecrackers, and it’s already dark, but we haven’t seen any foreigners. We…”

"The Indian client that Section Chief Li contacted, how many days will it take him to arrive? Qin Chuan needs to help contact overseas clients, that might also take three to five days, what's the rush..."

Just then, the sound of a familiar motorcycle suddenly came from outside. The sound of the dual-exhaust engine was compact and powerful, and very distinctive.

Qin Chuan is back?

Wait, there's a Xiali following behind?

Qin Jianguo was also very anxious, wondering if his son was up to the task.

Now, looking at the Xiali car that Qin Chuan brought with him on his motorcycle, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"dad!"

Qin Chuan looked at his father: "Show our finished products to the customer. Our customer plans to order 100,000 firecrackers, with a wholesale price of fifty US dollars each!"

He had a loud voice, and the workers who came to join in the fun heard him from afar, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Fifty dollars a piece?

One hundred thousand sticks, that's five million dollars in revenue!

The Indian swindler who came this morning would only have gotten around six hundred thousand US dollars if the full amount had been paid. Now, the client only needs to pay a 20% deposit, which is one million US dollars, and he doesn't even need to pay the balance!

I’m rich, I’m rich!

Many people have stars in their eyes.

"Qin Chuan is really amazing!"

"Yes, that's what they call 'silent until it speaks, then it amazes everyone'!"

Zhang Wanhe rolled his eyes at these people. They were just talking badly about Qin Chuan, and now they're starting to flatter him?

"Come on, Qin Chuan, we've already finished a batch here. Take the customers to see our finished products first!"

Qin Chuan looked at the people coming down from behind: "Mr. Amar, this is our steel plant, mainly producing steel pipes and firecrackers. Please come and take a look, and then we'll go sign the contract..."

"No need to look anymore, let's go straight to sign the contract."

Amar glanced at the factory and saw the mountains of steel pipes piled up under the lights. He knew that Qin Chuan wouldn't lie to him, and the old man who had been to the battlefield and fought in wars wouldn't lie to him either.

“We’ll pay 50% deposit first, you can ship the goods within a month, and we’ll pay the balance immediately after the goods arrive.”

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Qin Jianguo nodded.

A 50% deposit shows our sincerity!

In the office, after the contract was signed, Amal took out his checkbook and swiped it!

Two and a half million US dollars, a large check.

Looking at the numbers and many unfamiliar foreign symbols, Qin Jianguo was still somewhat incredulous. This was it?

“Mr. Amar, it’s getting late. Let me take you to a restaurant in town so we can have a proper meal,” Qin Chuan suggested.

Amar shook his head: "No need, we still need to sign a contract with the fertilizer plant to buy ammonium nitrate fertilizer, and we also need to find another fertilizer plant to buy potassium nitrate fertilizer. Our time is precious..."

"Okay, then I'll see you off. The mixing ratio of this fertilizer with other ingredients is also very important... Have you ever tried mixing ammonium nitrate with aluminum powder and gasoline? The specific ratio is..."

The contract was signed, the check was written, and the next step was to tell the other party the specific formula. It was a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and the best formula for ammonium nitrate was also given to them!

Amal exclaimed excitedly, "Okay, okay, let's try it when we get back!"

"There's a proper way to launch a missile. I also have a design for a simple launch device here, with adjustable elevation and angle, which is very convenient..."

After the Xiali car drove away, Qin Jianguo returned to his office, still feeling a sense of disbelief, as if it were all a dream.

He then looked at Li Runping: "Old Li, this check, it shouldn't be fake, right?"

“When I was at Shougang, we also dealt with foreigners. I’ve seen the checks they wrote, and they should be genuine!”

"However, to exchange this check for domestic currency, there are still many procedures to go through... I'll go to the capital now to complete these procedures, and I may need to go to Shanghai or even Hong Kong."

"Alright, Lao Li, I'll leave it to you. I'll continue organizing production. We need to weld 100,000 pieces in a month. That's a tough task..."

As they were talking, Qin Jianguo could already hear the sound of the cutting machine outside. The experienced workers had finished their dinner and voluntarily returned to work overtime!

"Xiao Chuan is amazing! He brought us such a big deal. We can't let him down!"

"That's right, we're going all out! This place will be my home for the next month! I'll eat steamed buns when I'm hungry, and sleep on cardboard when I'm tired. In short, I absolutely cannot let the export business be delayed!"

Zhang Wanhe's voice was the loudest: "That's right, everyone, let's do a good job!"

"If this deal goes through, our factory will not only survive, but thrive. We'll be able to pay back the bank loans, pay the back wages, and even get bonuses from the factory!"

"If Lao Qin doesn't give it to me, I, Zhang Wanhe, will be the first to cause him trouble!"

Qin Jianguo smiled. Zhang Wanhe was an old brother who had come with him from Shougang. He was saying this to encourage the workers.

That's right, once we get the money, we must pay the workers their back wages and bonuses!

"By the way, where's Xiaochuan?"

"I just tried to withdraw two hundred yuan from our finance account, saying I needed to buy some gifts to thank the police officers who came today."

Ever since Qin Chuan bought a motorcycle with money from the account, the factory's finance department has stopped giving him money. This factory manager's son is a good-for-nothing, and we can't let him squander the factory's money!

However, Qin Chuan's actions today were so impressive that everyone was completely amazed. He said he wanted to give the police two hundred yuan to thank them, so of course we had to give it to him.

However, the factory was short of money, so Li Runping still paid out of his own pocket and gave Qin Chuan two hundred yuan to "grease the wheels."

Of course, this cannot be told to Qin Jianguo.

“That’s right, we should thank those police officers. If they hadn’t come, we wouldn’t have believed Xiaochuan’s words… Besides, this way we can also improve our relationship with the police.”

"It seems that Xiaochuan has a good reason for riding his motorcycle around. I misunderstood him before!"

Thinking back on his past attitude toward Qin Chuan, Qin Jianguo felt a pang of guilt. What a good son he was!
