66: Chapter 66 Preparing for the Motorcycle Expo

Early September.

Yaodong District, Xingchen Technology Park construction site.

Wang Jianguo's call came through.

"General Manager Chen! Good news!"

His voice was very loud.

"The main steel structure has been completely topped out! The pre-buried equipment pipelines are also all in place!"

"According to this schedule, we can start equipment installation and debugging by the end of September, and by mid-October, the first phase of the factory can officially go into production!"

Chen Xu leaned back in his chair.

"You've worked hard."

After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the calendar.

September 15th.

Yu City Motorcycle Trade Show.

Time was getting tighter and tighter.

The new factory was the future, but for now, he had to fire the first shot in Yu City.

Chen Xu closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into the system.

The familiar tech-blue interface unfolded.

He looked at the long string of numbers in his account.

The 100 million loan had arrived, giving him much more confidence.

"System, top up one million for me."

[Top-up successful, host's current balance: 1000 technology points.]

"Redeem one Lv2 Artisan Level Bionic Human, male."

[Confirm redemption of one Lv2 Artisan Level Bionic Human (male), consuming 1000 technology points, 0 points remaining.]

[Does the host need to set a background identity for this unit?]

"Yes."

Chen Xu opened his eyes.

"Set his identity as the chief technician I poached from a large motorcycle modification factory in the south, proficient in all kinds of mechanical repairs and modifications. On September 12th, wait for me at Yu City Jiangbei Airport."

[Identity information implanting... Setting complete.]

[Artisan-type Bionic Human W-006 deployment ready, will arrive at the designated location at the designated time.]

Chen Xu picked up the internal phone.

"Chen Yi, Chen Er, Chen San, Chen Si, Chen Shiyi, Guan Yi, come to my office for a meeting in five minutes."

Five minutes later.

The office was full of people.

"Boss."

Guan Yi spoke first.

"I have already made arrangements for Yu City. I will take two assistants and fly there early tomorrow morning to be responsible for all the construction and decoration of the booth."

She paused for a moment.

"However, our booth location is very remote, in the northeast corner, and the area is only twelve square meters."

Chen Xu didn't speak, just nodded.

He looked at the others.

"Chen Shiyi, you stay behind. You are responsible for receiving, installing, and modifying all equipment for the new factory in Yaodong District. Chen San and Chen Si, stay behind to help you."

"Understood, Boss."

Chen Shiyi answered crisply.

Chen Xu's gaze turned to Chen Yi and Chen Er.

"You two, go rent a box truck."

"The twenty Jifengs in the workshop, plus the twenty modified Storms, forty vehicles in total, load them all up."

"Leave early tomorrow morning and drive to Yu City."

He handed over a note.

"After you arrive, contact General Manager Guan directly and follow her arrangements."

"Yes, Boss!"

Chen Yi and Chen Er answered in unison.

All tasks were assigned.

...

September 12th.

Yu City, Jiangbei International Airport.

Chen Xu walked out of the arrival hall.

The crowd was bustling, and passengers dragging suitcases hurried past him.

He saw the waiting man at a glance.

About thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a crew cut, a sturdy build, and wearing a work jacket.

Standing in the crowd, he had an indescribable steadiness.

Chen Xu walked over.

"Chen Shier?"

The man turned immediately and looked at Chen Xu.

"Boss."

No unnecessary chatter.

The two took a taxi directly to the Yu City International Expo Center.

The taxi drove on the Jialing River Bridge.

Outside the window were layers of high-rise buildings, and the unique three-dimensional feel of the mountain city rushed towards him.

The taxi turned a corner.

In the distance, a massive complex of buildings appeared in his field of vision.

Yu City International Expo Center.

Outside the Expo Center, huge billboards and colorful flags were already hung everywhere.

[Diya Group, 'Thor' descends, defining the future!]

[Taben Power, the pinnacle of technology, riding the wind!]

[Hamaya, the rider's choice, a glorious journey!]

Each name occupied the most conspicuous positions.

Chen Xu and Chen Shier got out of the car.

Chen Yi and Chen Er were already waiting at the entrance.

"Boss!"

Chen Yi pointed to a giant booth not far away.

"That is Diya's booth!"

Chen Xu looked in the direction he was pointing.

It covered an area of more than five hundred square meters.

In the center of the booth, a mechanical device three meters high was being assembled, with a sci-fi design full of industrial aesthetics.

"I heard that for this booth alone, Diya spent two million."

Chen Er added from the side.

"And for their new product launch, they invited a popular young actress from the entertainment industry to stand for them; the appearance fee alone is in the millions."

Chen Xu just glanced at it.

What's the use of a big booth?

What's the use of having a lot of money?

When it opens the day after tomorrow, they will know what true strength is.

"Where is our booth?"

Chen Yi led the way.

They passed through several main exhibition halls and arrived at the most remote northeast corner.

A lonely little corner.

The area was only three meters by four meters.

Guan Yi was directing two assistants and a few workers to make the final arrangements.

The entire booth was dominated by dark gray and tech-blue, with a minimalist style, but the lighting was done very well.

On the booth, two silver Jifengs and two black Storms were arranged in an oblique array.

A huge high-definition LCD screen was hung on the background wall, looping a CG animation.

LOGO: Star Technology.

"Boss, you're here."

Guan Yi walked over.

Chen Xu looked around.

Small but complete.

"Where are the other vehicles?"

"They are all on the truck, parked in the parking lot."

Chen Yi answered immediately.

"Thirty-six in total, not one less."

Guan Yi took over.

"Boss, my strategy is that this small booth is just a hook to attract professionals and core users who are genuinely interested."

"The real main event is outside the venue."

"I have already rented a vacant lot next to the Expo Center as our exclusive test-drive area."

"Any customer interested in our products can go directly there for unlimited in-depth test drives."

"Letting them experience the 300-kilometer range and acceleration for themselves is more useful than us saying ten thousand words."

Chen Xu nodded.

This plan was more than a notch above the hardcore science popularization of Chen Shiyi and the others.

...

The group returned to the booked hotel.

Hilton, Executive Suite.

Chen Xu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of this mountain city.

The lights were bright, and the river surface was sparkling.

Guan Yi and several others stood behind him, waiting quietly for orders.

"Boss, everything is ready."

Guan Yi reported.

"Just waiting for the opening the day after tomorrow."

Chen Xu did not turn around.

His gaze pierced through the night and landed on the huge Expo Center in the distance.

That will be the starting point for Star Technology to truly go national.

In two days, this city will be completely boiling because of Star Technology.

[Please power up!!! Please power up!!!]
