187: Ballpoint pen tip? What the hell is this called an industrial pearl?
γ Xiao Ying previously listed Julong Steel Pipe, the kind that can be modified into rockets, but it was later taken down for violating regulations. γ
γ There was also the Longying Drone, the one that could be modified, but unfortunately, that's gone too. γ
Brother Qi was stunned for a moment. Is Bai Xiaoying really that awesome?
"Let me check."
Brother Qi tried to initiate a collaborative livestream with Bai Xiaoying, but Bai Xiaoying, who was busy and overwhelmed, hung up on him.
"Julong Steel is already working overtime to ramp up production, please stop urging us."
γ I think I just saw Brother Qi try to connect, but Xiao Ying hung up on him! γ
γ Brother Qi collaborating with Xiao Ying? That's truly a dream connection. γ
"Brother Qi? Did he? How come I didn't see it?"
Bai Xiaoying was puzzled, but then she saw Brother Qi send another collaboration invitation.
Me... is it really Brother Qi?
The mastermind behind millions of Dragon Xia military fans, an outstanding military theorist on the Blue Star, who supposedly didn't attend much school but picked up all his skills in the university of life.
γ Is it really Brother Qi? Damn! γ
γ Brother Qi collaborating with Xiao Ying, are they planning something? γ
"Miss Bai, would it be convenient to save a Great Guan Dao for me? I really can't snatch one from the official website." Brother Qi said helplessly.
Bai Xiaoying laughed and said, "Brother Qi, you're joking. With your status, do you really need to snatch one? Just have Director Lu send you a truckload!"
γ Look at what Xiao Ying said, is that even human talk? Does she really think anyone can just meet Director Lu? γ
γ I guess Xiao Ying is the only one on the whole internet who dares to say that. γ
"Ahem, I've chatted with Director Lu, but we haven't really met in person." Brother Qi said awkwardly.
Who is Lu Shenwei? The chairman of Julong Steel, a friendly collaborative unit of the Dragon Xia armed forces, the legal representative of a top-secret unit, and a billionaire. Can you really just meet someone like that whenever you want?
Bai Xiaoying was surprised. "Really? You haven't met Director Lu? Director Lu highly admires your philosophy of 'Huang Han', that wherever the sun and moon shine, it is all Han land."
"Really?" Brother Qi asked in surprise.
Bai Xiaoying said seriously, "Could it be fake? I'll arrange for you and Director Lu to get to know each other properly later."
γ Xiao Ying still has the pull, look at what she said. γ
γ Look at Brother Qi's expression, is he a bit confused? Didn't expect Xiao Ying to have such pull. γ
"Is that okay? Director Lu, he..." Brother Qi looked stunned.
Bai Xiaoying patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! Leave it to me."
γ Xiao Ying, pat it two more times! γ
γ The user above is courting death, Xiao Ying, show him how powerful you are! γ
(Fan "Ye Ao Wo Nai He" has been muted by the streamer.)
γ Laughing my head off, that's what you get for being cocky! γ
That afternoon, Julong Steel Factory.
Lu Shenwei asked in surprise, "Brother Qi wants to come? Really?"
"He's my friend, do me a favor." Bai Xiaoying pleaded.
Lu Shenwei said casually, "Brother Qi is a prophet. When Damao and Ermao fought, many of his predictions were correct."
"Shall we meet?"
"You name the time, I'll arrange it."
Two days later, Qinchuan Intercontinental Hotel.
"Director Lu, why arrange to eat outside? It's much more comfortable at the factory." Bai Xiaoying asked.
Lu Shenwei said, "Although I often watch Brother Qi's livestream, he needs approval from higher-ups to enter the factory, and time is too tight."
"I see." Bai Xiaoying said thoughtfully.
Ten minutes later, Brother Qi appeared in a crisp suit.
"Brother Qi, over here." Bai Xiaoying waved.
Lu Shenwei stood up, "I am Lu Shenwei from Julong Steel, I've heard so much about you."
"You're too kind, Director Lu. I didn't expect Miss Bai to actually be able to book you." Brother Qi said, feeling flattered.
Lu Shenwei said, "Let's eat, we can chat while we eat."
"Director Lu looks even younger than in the videos." Brother Qi complimented.
"Is it convenient to say hello to the fans in the livestream?"
Lu Shenwei smiled and waved at the camera, "Hello everyone, long time no see."
γ Is it really Director Lu? The real Director Lu? γ
γ Director Lu, when will the Great Guan Dao be back in stock? γ
γ I want a spiked club, I can't take it anymore. γ
γ Is the user above a masochist? γ
"Wait until I finish eating, then I'll go back to the factory to run the lathe." Lu Shenwei said casually.
γ Is he really that down-to-earth? The problem is, how many more can be produced just by Director Lu running the lathe? γ
γ I don't care about the spiked club, I just want to know when the full version of the Longying Drone will be available. γ
γ Find a backdoor to overclock it yourself, who knows when Julong Steel will unlock it. γ
γ I'm more concerned about when the domestic version of the Julong Steel gas cylinder will be released? γ
γ Don't think about it, the Hong Kong branch of Julong Steel has an export version, but it's only for foreign sales. γ
Lu Shenwei said, "For everyone's safety, the export version is not for domestic use."
γ What kind of mindset do people who want to buy the export version have? Are they planning to modify them into rockets? γ
γ Where are those people who were clamoring about industrial pearls yesterday? Come out and show yourselves. γ
γ Exactly, Director Lu is an Expert in the steel industry, what kind of ballpoint pen tip or fountain pen nib can't he manufacture? γ
Lu Shenwei looked at the barrage in the livestream and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Yesterday in the livestream, I said that Julong Steel had captured one of the industrial pearls, but suddenly a few traitors jumped out and insisted on arguing with me, saying that fountain pen nibs, ballpoint pen tips, and lighter gaskets are the real industrial pearls."
"They even said that with so many steel mills in the country, they wouldn't be able to make them even in a few decades." Brother Qi explained gloomily.
Can't make them? What a load of crap! It's clearly just that no one wants to pick up this sesame seed.
Lu Shenwei turned to look at Zhou Cun, "Check and see how difficult it is to manufacture these fountain pen nibs and such."
γ That's the big boss for you, so domineering! γ
γ Director Lu gives an order, and Deputy Factory Manager Zhou runs his legs off! γ
γ Is it real or fake? Does Julong Steel have this capability? γ
γ Don't underestimate the recipient of the Second Prize for National Defense Science and Technology Progress, Julong Steel's strength is unfathomable. γ
"Chairman, I'm not clear about fountain pen nibs and lighter gaskets, I'll check later, but ballpoint pen tips require high-temperature furnaces to refine. One furnace can refine about 200 million, and at least twenty furnaces must be opened at a time." Zhou Cun said.
When he entered the steel mill a few years ago, Zhou Cun had checked quite a bit of professional data.
To ensure the fluency and service life of the ballpoint pen tip, the opening thickness of the tip generally needs to be less than 0.1 millimeters.
The matching of the ball and the ink groove of the pen tip must not have a processing error exceeding 0.003 millimeters.
This kind of "world-class" manufacturing difficulty did indeed stump steel and pen-making companies around the world, but for a giant steel mill like Dragon Xia's, it wasn't much of a difficulty.
The only factor preventing large steel mills from getting involved in ballpoint pen tip manufacturing is one thing β losing money!
It's not a high-precision industry, and the profit isn't that big, so steel mills naturally don't want to put energy into it.
As a result, it became an "industrial pearl" in the mouths of public intellectuals and running dogs, not knowing that this time they ran into the reckless Lu Shenwei, and how many steel mills in Japan had their rice bowls smashed directly.
Lu Shenwei said casually, "Regardless of the cost, I want to see Julong Steel's self-developed ballpoint pen beads next month."
γ Unreasonable, just smashing it with money? γ
γ Running dogs and traitors, come out and speak! γ
γ Only Director Lu has the wealth and confidence to say that. If it were other steel mills, they really wouldn't have the guts. γ
γ It's not that they don't have the guts, but state-owned steel mills care about efficiency. Would the state-owned assets allow them to lose money? Private steel mills pursue profit maximization even more. Only Director Lu doesn't care about costs, that's why he dares to do this. γ
