After dealing with this matter, Lu Cheng saw that there were still two unread letters in his e-mail. One of them was from Li Hongguang, the president of Wulinfeng. When he opened it, he found a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Good news
The news is that the individual competition for martial arts hegemony has been approved; the bad news is that the team competition between various martial arts has been rejected.
Lu Cheng didn't care: "If it doesn't work this year, I can apply again next year." It's normal if you think about it. Competitions between sects have too much impact, so it would be good to be approved for individual competitions, at least it can increase the stock price.
Another email came from Lin Quan, saying that the purchase of the equity of "Rongbaozhai" was going smoothly and 25% of the shares had been taken. However, the attempt to participate in the B-round financing of "Hanhai Auction House" in the magic city failed because the sale
It was too late, the company had already found investors. The remaining funds were used to buy Moutai.
Lin Quan asked in the email: "The major shareholder of Rongbaozhai is China Publishing Group Co., Ltd., with a shareholding ratio of 29%. Do you want to go one step further and become the largest shareholder?"
Lu Cheng thought for a while and replied to the letter: "Forget it, not for now. We'll see what happens later."
If he wants to inject "Xianshentang" into the company, he must definitely control "Rongbaozhai". However, it is more advantageous for Xianshentang to be hidden, so how can he possibly launch it on the market?
He bought the shares of "Rongbaozhai" as a supplement to Xianshentang, which can facilitate the auction of certain special items, such as Jiang Qiuyun's calligraphy, precious jade, or rare mink coats.
From now on, Xianshentang will mainly sell medicines and equipment needed by monks, and will not involve irrelevant items. Although the mink coat has spiritual energy, the spiritual energy is too weak and is more suitable for ordinary people to wear.
After dawn, Lu Cheng called Zhang Ji from "Black Tiger Spring Comprehensive Service Company".
Zhang Ji answered the phone and carefully apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, you want to contract the Yuzhu Peak, but there has been no progress yet. However, it is easier to win the small peak next to Qinghai Lake. I have it here.
Some information is being sent to you."
Lu Cheng said: "Okay, come on, I'm free in the morning. I have other things I want to trouble you with."
At 9:30, Zhang Ji came and brought a stack of information on various small peaks beside Qinghai Lake: "Mr. Lu, you can pick a peak and we will help you operate it."
Lu Cheng took the information and put it on the table, and then said: "Okay, I'll tell you which one I'm interested in later. One more thing, please help me check if there are any poorly managed metallurgical factories in Lu Province.
Factory and other small businesses related to metal smelting, I want to buy one for fun."
Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Please give me two days and I will provide you with the query results."
It was said to be two days, but it turned out that only half a day later, Zhang Ji called: "Mr. Lu, let me help you find the 'Quancheng Tool Factory'. This is a factory with a history of 50 years. It was established in the 1980s.
A subsidiary company of the Shandong Metal Materials Research Institute once had hundreds of employees. In recent years, many employees have been fired because they cannot compete with other large manufacturers. They are insolvent and unable to continue operating. They are preparing to file for bankruptcy. If you
If you want this factory, you only need to bear a debt of 50 million yuan and you can win it."
Lu Cheng asked: "Where are the personnel in the factory? Can they still be found?"
"I can be responsible for helping you get some of it back."
"Are the production equipment in the factory still there?"
"They're all here!"
"Okay, you can help me take over this factory. After the transfer procedures are completed, let the original factory director come."
Although the factory is about to go bankrupt, its transfer cannot be completed in one day.
Jiang Qiuyun has completed the creation of "Guan Shan Du Ruofei". Because she has to take care of her daughter and take time to practice martial arts, she cannot devote herself to writing the book. She only writes 300,000 words a day and then stops writing, so it takes a long time. Even though
In this way, she has accumulated more and more manuscripts! So far, not all of the first part of Romance has been released!
She urged the editor to publish it quickly.
The editor "Me Jiang" said: "Yunji, you are really a fairy! As the mother of a six-month-old baby, you can still create 300,000 words a day. How can you make those male authors drag their manuscripts away? How can I live every day now?
I’ll help you update 100,000 words and send them out into 20 chapters. This is already very fast! It really can’t be any faster! If it’s any faster, many readers won’t be able to bear it.
You have to know that ordinary people can read 100,000 words in 2 hours or 4 hours, and they still have to go to work!
How many people can spare 2 hours of reading every day?
If you update 300,000 words a day, readers will be exhausted."
Therefore, Jiang Qiuyun could no longer urge it and could only leave it as a deposit.
Lu Cheng began to refine the "Jade Bone Pill". He put crab shells, crab shells, green oyster shells, and purple mantis shells in the same proportions into a high-temperature furnace, gradually raising the temperature, and the spiritual liquid precipitated little by little. p>
Then cool down, open the furnace door, add a little additive, pour it into the mold, and get a batch of longan-sized pills, which are the so-called "Jade Bone Pills".
He put one in his mouth and tasted it. There was a dull sea smell. However, after the elixir entered his abdomen, it brought an endless stream of spiritual energy and poured it into the fifth-order lumbar vertebrae, sacral vertebrae, and coccyx vertebrae!
Originally, these vertebrae have been transformed into spiritual bones. At this time, the spiritual bones have become more and more crystal clear. Although they have not yet been transformed into jade bones, they are making progress in this direction.
He felt that his whole body's strength had increased a lot. A "Jade Bone Pill" gave him at least "the power of a dove"!
This is great progress!
"If I eat a few more pills and let the spiritual bones be completely transformed into jade bones, I don't know how big a change it will bring."
He is not planning to sell this kind of "Jade Bone Pill" in "Xianshentang" because the level is too high and requires the spiritual bones to be cultivated first before it will be effective.
In the blink of an eye, on December 2, Zhang Ji came to Qingquan Villa with the company transfer documents and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man named "Zheng Hanjiang" has a rectangular face, sparse eyebrows, and calluses on his hands. He is the director of a tool factory.
Zhang Ji put down the documents, introduced Zheng Hanjiang, and left.
Lu Cheng asked Zheng Hanjiang to sit down and talk, asking about the situation in the tool factory.
After all, Zheng Hanjiang had been the factory director for several years. Although his management was not very good, he had seen the world. He replied unhurriedly: "Mr. Lu, I graduated from the Metallurgical Department of Beijing University of Science and Technology and worked in Quancheng Tool Factory for 20 years.
, the company's poor management is mainly due to insufficient investment, lack of competitive products, and inability to compete with well-known tool factories at home and abroad. You are a famous new generation entrepreneur. Since you bought the tool factory, you must have your plans. You said
I will strictly implement how to improve it! At least 60% of those dismissed employees can be recalled."
Lu Cheng said: "I know nothing about metallurgy, and I want to ask you a question, how to carve patterns on the surface of the tool?"
Zheng Hanjiang smiled and said: "It's very easy. You can use laser engraving, or you can use the engraved mold when casting."
Lu Cheng said: "I am going to inject 500 million yuan into the company, and then ask you to make a batch of knives and engrave several patterns on the knives. Three types will be engraved first, and then the ex-factory price will be greatly increased, to the level of Shinkusaku, Tojiro, Sansha, etc.
5 times that of Zwilling!"
Zheng Hanjiang was surprised: "Ah? You want to engrave the knife without considering the material of the knife?"
"What materials were originally used in the factory?"
"Stainless steel. Alloys can also be used. The factory has technical reserves in this area, but if alloys are used, the price is too high and it cannot be sold."
"Just use stainless steel! When the casting is completed, you can cut our knives and foreign knives against each other to see whose one is stronger and sharper, and make a video and use it as an advertisement!"
Zheng Hanjiang was very surprised, but facing Lu Cheng, he could not express his objection directly.
"Okay, let me try. Mr. Lu, have you printed out the pattern you want to engrave? Can you show it to me?"
"I'll send it to your mailbox later. There are three patterns, one related to toughness, one related to sturdiness, and one related to sharpness. You can think of a way to carve the pattern into the inside of the knife.
Don’t let people see it, then others won’t be able to copy it!”
Zheng Hanjiang thought for a while and said: "You can make a tungsten wire pattern in advance and then bury it in the back of the stainless steel knife. The melting point of tungsten is higher than that of steel, so it will maintain the shape of the pattern."
Lu Cheng said: "Try using nickel. The melting point of nickel is 55 degrees higher than that of steel. When heated to 1455 degrees, both will melt. The pattern made of nickel is not easy to be found. If the experiment is successful, the factory can break out of the cocoon and be reborn into the world.
The No. 1 Tool Factory has trampled those foreign brands under its feet! Think about it, isn’t it great?”
Zheng Hanjiang had a smile on his face, but he was doubtful in his heart, thinking to himself: "If only it were that easy! Even if you are a super rich man, can you really have the Midas touch to turn gold into gold?"
Lu Cheng got more than thirty runes from the animal skin book "Five Phoenix Palace Weapon Refining Manual", but this time he only took out three and asked Zheng Hanjiang to try.
He wasn't sure whether it would succeed or not, he would just have to give it a try.
If the experiment is successful, he wants to forge a batch of magic weapons and take them to other worlds.
