Chapter 7, A Perfect Match

Even if we can demolish the factory and sell the land for a building, it would still be a loss. This piece of land is the lifeblood of the factory; once sold, it will be gone. Just tell them that if they invest this money, they can buy shares, and once the factory is operational, we will provide them with jobs and distribute dividends every year!" Uncle Zhao said as he lit a cigarette

If the task of shoe manufacturing is entrusted to a specialized shoe factory, the situation is quite different; they are dedicated to this craft. Even if it means sacrificing some profits within the factory, it is worthwhile. After all, in this day and age, not only must products be practical, but they also need to be aesthetically pleasing.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xu was overjoyed and said: "Haha, Li Yi, if you strike it rich, don't forget to treat your Uncle Qin to a drink, and make sure it's good wine!"

Qin Yunbao is the biological brother of Qin Xu, holding a Doctor's degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Nanjing University. He was once the leader of the technical team at the factory, wearing thick glasses and exhibiting a demeanor much more reserved than his brother.

Indeed, I have calculated that some of the old machinery in the factory is still usable. Although the workers have been laid off, they have not lost their skills and can quickly get back to work. However, it will be necessary to invest in some new automated machine tools, which will require a significant amount of money

"This is truly remarkable!" Qin Yunbao adjusted his glasses and said while tapping on the design blueprint in his hand, "My university mentor was obsessed with researching anti-gravity devices, and naturally, I was influenced by him. To be honest, this design is probably many times more advanced than the results my mentor achieved in his entire lifetime of research!"

Upon arriving at the Ninth Advanced Tactical Academy, Li Yi, following Kele's advice, did not engage in excessive physical training. He merely warmed up with a light jog and then focused on flexibility training. He even skipped the afternoon cooperative training, feeling no psychological burden about cutting class as a student who had long been at the bottom of his class.

As for the finished product issues, they can be outsourced; after all, each profession has its own expertise. The characteristic of a machinery factory lies in mechanical processing, and shoemaking is not our strong suit. Therefore, we should outsource the finished shoes to specialized shoe factories, while we only take responsibility for producing the hidden anti-gravity mechanism in the shoe soles.

Old Man Zhao hurriedly asked, "So, does this thing have a door?"

"Master, I have detected that your Force index has been fluctuating between 0.95 and 0.97. If all goes well, after today's training, you will reach the standard of a novice warrior," said Kola to Li Yi.

By the next morning, Old Man Zhao and the Qin brothers acted according to the agreements made the previous night, while Li Yi went to school, as he is now a prospective soldier and cannot afford to halt his training

When it comes to the issue of initial investment, there was a certain silence among the crowd. The workers at the machinery factory are truly impoverished; who among them can come up with such a substantial figure as several million

... ...

Li Yiwei and the book Weidian nodded. Cola, Star Network, this is truly my treasure. Even how to reduce the pain of breaking through, Cola has already prepared for me. Where can I find such a thoughtful little robot

Li Yi nodded slightly and smiled as she said, "Actually, I never intended to sell this technology. If the factory can handle it, it would be much better for us to do it ourselves. After all, the factory is sitting idle, and it would be a pity not to make use of it."

Particularly regarding Li Yi's plan to outsource finished products to a professional shoe factory, the group of men at the machinery factory, both young and old, are all accustomed to working with metal. Asking them to design and manufacture shoes is truly a tall order. Even if they manage to produce them, the appearance is likely to suffer significantly.

The information on the anti-gravity shoes reached Qin Yunbao, and he studied it for a full two hours, his excitement growing with each passing moment. After finishing, he patted Li Yi's shoulder vigorously and exclaimed, "Li Yi, this design of yours is a treasure! It is a genuine anti-gravity device!"

Li Yi, are you serious?" Zhao Xu asked, staring with wide eyes while holding Li Yi with both hands.

According to the relevant information obtained from the Star Network, there is still a significant gap between ordinary individuals and Force warriors. I have prepared a training plan for you today. Do not engage in overly exhausting physical training; instead, conserve all your energy for the training room. This way, you can reduce the pain you experience when breaking through.

Li Yi grew up in a machinery factory, where he became very familiar with everything. The four of them sat together comfortably without any restraint

Li Yi proposed that the machinery factory produce the core components of the new type of anti-gravity shoes, which greatly excited Uncle Zhao and the Qin brothers, keeping them awake all night in their excitement

Upon hearing this, Qin Yunbao nodded excitedly and said, "Great! I will go to Nanjing today to seek my teacher's final assistance and see if there are any other areas we need to pay attention to."

Li Yi's words seemed light and airy, but the three people present understood the weight of this statement. If the machinery factory were to produce this anti-gravity device, it would mean new livelihoods for hundreds of people in the factory

Old Master Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "There is indeed a sum of money."

Qin Xu? I am Zhao Kaishan. Please call Qin Yunbao and come to my house.

Really? Then I shall have to borrow your good words.

Trust me, it will definitely work

Li Yikan spoke eloquently, while Zhao Kaishan and the others listened attentively, their gazes towards Li Yi growing increasingly admiring. They initially thought that this was merely a spur-of-the-moment design by Li Yi, but little did they expect that Li Yi already had his own plans for production, sales, and promotion.

Kele nonchalantly remarked: "Your primary task today is to successfully overcome the challenges, rather than exhausting all your energy on training. You should face the storm-like release of primal energy in the most relaxed manner; this is the best approach according to the information available on training in the Star Alliance network"

Then go and discuss it with them Zhao Daye distributed a circle of cigarettes and inexplicably handed one to Li Yi

As an elder, he should not encourage Li Yi to smoke at such a young age. However, today Li Yi's mature demeanor truly impressed Old Master Zhao. In his heart, Li Yi was no longer just an inexperienced youth, but a trustworthy partner.

Li Yi nodded slightly, and Grandpa Zhao looked up at the clock. It was already midnight, yet the old man felt no trace of sleepiness. He took out his phone and dialed a number

Such technology, even if you offer an exorbitant price, there will be companies eager to acquire it! After all, we are in an era where technology reigns supreme! Practicality is paramount! The advanced technologies brought by extraterrestrial spacecraft are not inferior; rather, many cannot be produced with the current technological level on Earth. I have never seen such high-level technology simplified to this extent in a design proposal. Li Yi, you are a genius!

After the factory closed, laid-off workers received only 400 yuan in unemployment benefits per month. Li Yi found it difficult to make ends meet with just 600 yuan, and the situation was even more dire for families with dependents.

At that time, the number of anti-gravity mechanisms we provide to the shoe factory will determine the quantity of finished products they produce. The key elements such as technology, brand, and distribution channels will remain in our hands, while the shoe factory will only receive a processing fee.

Li Yi, is this really something you created on hetushu.com?" Grandpa Zhao asked excitedly after reviewing the thick stack of materials

Soon, the two brothers, Qin Xu and Qin Yunbao, arrived at Uncle Zhao's house in a daze. Qin Xu is a sturdy man, originally a technician, and before the mechanical factory closed down, he served as the deputy factory director, assisting Zhao Kaishan.

Qin Xu frowned and said: "Are you referring to the funds set aside for demolishing the factory and constructing buildings? That money was contributed by various parties: your family contributed 3,000, my family 2,000, and many of the older workers in the factory have even put in their life savings. I’m afraid we need to discuss this with them first"

After the machinery factory went bankrupt, Qin Xu became an auto mechanic, while Qin Yunbao worked as a technician in another textile factory. Relying on his skills, he lived somewhat better than most of the laid-off workers in the factory, yet life was still quite tight

Not only did Li Yi skip class, but he also spent extravagantly, paying ten yuan for a sauna. He stayed in the steam room for three hours, only coming out when he felt as if his bones were about to crumble.

"Right now! You two brothers, even if you roll, you must roll over here immediately!"

"Coke, is it really okay to do it this way? The steaming time is too long, I have no strength left at all," Li Yi asked with a hint of concern.

The most critical aspect is practicality! It is not some unformed research in a laboratory, but rather technology that can truly be put into production! By using electricity to stimulate and regulate the anti-gravity magnetic field, the structure of the three pieces of Kyiv alloy is also extremely stable
