0073 Chapter Mysterious Client
Although he knew He Laoqi's home address and his family's situation, Xia Lei still had no way to deal with He Laoqi. He could not sneak into He Laoqi's home and kill He Laoqi, right? He could not kidnap He Laoqi's son who was still in junior high school, right? He was not a villain and could not do such a thing. He once thought about sneaking into He Laoqi's home and stealing evidence of He Laoqi's crimes, but Qin Xiang said that He Laoqi never took action himself in his own way. In this case, how likely is it that he could steal evidence of He Laoqi's crimes?
However, this time, there was no gain. Being friends with Qin Xiang was also a gain. The first step to dealing with He Laoqi was also taken.
After sitting in the private room for a while, Xia Lei checked out and left Jushanyuan, and drove back to Lima Studio.
As soon as he got off the car, Xia Lei saw two strangers in the studio talking to Ma Xiaoan. He looked at the two people, both wearing suits and briefcases, very stylish. He was a little curious, "Who are those two people? What are they doing in the studio?"
Ma Xiaoan saw Xia Lei and then greeted, "Lei...Boss Lei, someone wants to discuss business with you." He then said to the two men in suits: "That is the boss of our studio, Xia Lei, you can talk to him, hehe, I can't make any decisions."
It turned out to be two strange customers, and Xia Lei followed suit. Since his disagreement with Chi Jingqiu, the business of Leima Studio has been very light and can only maintain business and make little money. It is of course a good thing to have new customers.
When the two men in suits heard that they were Xia Lei, the owner of Leima Studio, they followed him up and smiled and greeted Xia Lei.
"My name is Zhou Wei, this is my colleague, named Jiang Xin." A man in the suit who claimed to be Zhou Wei said with a smile: "We came from Kyoto, and we came on behalf of Shenzhou Industrial Group."
Whether it was Jiang Xin or Zhou Wei, Xia Lei had never known each other before, nor had anyone ever heard of the names of these two people. It was the first time he heard about the Shenzhou Industrial Group mentioned by Zhou Wei. He felt even more strange and said in his heart: "If it was Haizhu City or the surrounding companies who asked me to process parts and place orders, it would be normal, but Kyoto is thousands of miles away, and I have never contacted any Shenzhou Industrial Group. How could they find this place?"
It seemed that he guessed what Xia Lei was thinking, Jiang Xin said: "That's right, Mr. Xia, we are here to do something this time."
Not here to discuss business? Xia Lei was suddenly disappointed, but said calmly: "What do you want to figure out?"
Jiang Xin opened his briefcase and took out a well-wrapped cloth bag from it. He opened the cloth bag again, revealing a part.
Seeing the parts wrapped in fabric, Xia Lei was stunned. This part was the finished part he had processed for Oriental Heavy Industry, and he earned the first million in his life. He remembered every detail of the business very clearly, and naturally he would not forget the finished parts he had processed by himself.
"Mr. Xia, do you still remember this part?" Jiang Xin looked very polite.
Xia Lei nodded, "This is the part I processed for Oriental Heavy Industry at the time. Of course, I remember it, but how could it be with you?"
Zhou Wei continued, saying, "This is why we came here. The batch of parts you processed were processed by Oriental Heavy Industry, and they are very important. I believe you also know that this kind of finely processed parts cannot be processed in China at present because of the technology blockade in Europe and the United States. But if you did it, you are really amazing."
Xia Lei smiled, "You guys came from Kyoto to praise me, aren't you?"
Jiang Xin said: "Mr. Xia was joking. We came here to prove this time, which will bring you benefits. You should understand what I am talking about."
Xia Lei said: "Do you want me to process another piece of proof for you?"
Jiang Xin said: "Yes, but I promise you that as long as you prove that you can really process such fine-processed parts, you will not be short of orders in the future."
Xia Lei was already excited, but he could still calm down on his face. He said, "Can I ask a question before I take action?"
"Please speak." Zhou Wei also looked very polite.
Xia Lei said: "I processed those parts for Oriental Heavy Industry. Oriental Heavy Industry would not tell you about this. So how do you know that I processed them?"
Zhou Wei smiled, "It's very simple. There is no equipment in China and there is no such talent. We always think that Oriental Heavy Industry cannot process it, but they delivered the goods on time. Of course, we have to figure out why this kind of thing. After receiving the parts sent by Oriental Heavy Industry, we entrusted relevant departments to investigate it. Such things are not difficult to check. After all, there are many people in Oriental Heavy Industry who know about this. After this investigation, we found it. Then, well, we are here."
Xia Lei's question in his heart was answered. On the surface, this matter seemed a bit strange, but Zhou Wei's explanation made the incident seem reasonable. Ning Yuanshan, chairman of Oriental Heavy Industry, said more than once that batch of parts are very important, and he even offered a reward of one million. So, for such important parts, the people of Shenzhou Industrial Group concluded that Oriental Heavy Industry could not process them. After Oriental Heavy Industry delivered the goods as scheduled, how could the people of Shenzhou Industrial Group not be curious and not investigated? Once the investigation was conducted, it was not strange that the people of Shenzhou Industrial Group appeared here.
Jiang Xin said: "Mr. Xia, please show us your superb craftsmanship."
Xia Lei nodded, "Of course, but I don't have such materials here, so I can only process them with ordinary materials."
"No need for your materials, we have qualified materials." Zhou Wei also opened his briefcase, then took out a cloth bag and handed it to Xia Lei.
The cloth bag contained an alloy metal, which was the material used when Oriental Heavy Industry was processing and finishing parts. Xia Lei took the alloy metal and walked towards a CNC lathe. He first processed the blank, and then changed the CNC lathe to manual mode, using the micro-visual ability of the left eye to cut and polish it bit by bit to the required accuracy. The whole process took half an hour from the time he started the machine tool to the end of the processing.
Xia Lei handed the processed parts to Zhou Wei, "You can check it."
Zhou Wei looked at the parts processed by Xia Lei and said in admiration: "You don't even want drawings and parameters, and you can do it in half an hour. It's so amazing."
However, Jiang Xin took out the inspection instrument and pulled the part from Zhou Wei for inspection.
The instruments in Jiang Xin's hand are very advanced, just like infrared scanners. When scanning the parts, all kinds of data of the parts are released. Xia Lei has never seen such detection instruments at Oriental Heavy Industry.
Jiang Xin quickly completed the inspection of the parts. He couldn't hide his excitement and laughed: "It seems that we are really looking for the right person. Mr. Xia, you are such an amazing person."
The employees of Lema Studio also smiled, all of them were very excited.
Xia Lei said: "Do you still need such parts?"
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "We not only need such parts, we also need you."
Jiang Xin carefully put the parts processed by Xia Lei into the briefcase, and then said: "Mr. Xia, are you interested in joining our Northern Industrial Group? You can just say whatever you want. As long as it is not an exaggerated requirement, we can satisfy you."
You can just say what you have to do. How many companies in the world will offer such conditions?
When Xia Lei heard Jiang Xin offer such conditions, he was really moved at this moment.
Ma Xiaoan, Zhou Xiaohong and others became nervous and their mood became complicated. They were proud of Xia Lei, but were worried about their future. If Xia Lei went to Northern Industrial Group, then Leima Studio would be done. What else could they do besides working on the construction site? Especially Zhou Xiaohong, if Xia Lei had not taken her in, she might have been on the streets now, but Xia Lei gave her a new life and hope to live a good life. How could she bear to let Xia Lei go?
Everyone's eyes were gathered on Xia Lei, waiting nervously for his answer.
Xia Lei's eyes swept across the faces of Zhou Xiaohong, Ma Xiaoan and others. Their nervousness and reluctance, as well as their concerns about the future, all entered his eyes one by one. He suddenly smiled, "Thank you for your kindness. It may be better to go to your place, but I still like to stay here. If you want to process any parts, just give me an order. Isn't it the same if I go to your Northern Industrial Group?"
Zhou Xiaohong and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Zhou Wei and Jiang Xin showed disappointment. Compared to placing an order at Lima Studio, they certainly hoped that Xia Lei would go to Northern Industrial Group.
Zhou Wei said: "It's a pity, but let's do this. The door of our Northern Industrial Group is always open to you. No matter when you want to come, we welcome you."
Xia Lei said: "Thank you, I will consider it. In addition, can you tell me what your Northern Industrial Group does?"
Jiang Xin was stunned for a moment, looking surprised, "Mr. Xia, don't you know what our Northern Industrial Group does?"
Xia Lei shook his head, "Sorry, I really don't know."
Jiang Xin smiled and said, "Our Northern Industrial Group is a state-owned enterprise. We produce fighter jets, tanks and missiles. We do not make money, but just to enhance our country's national defense strength."
Xia Lei was immediately surprised. However, after Jiang Xin said this, he understood why Ning Yuanshan repeatedly said that those parts were very important. He also understood why it was so easy for the Northern Group to find out who processed those parts.
If a national-sized military-industrial enterprise can accept their orders, who will dare to cause trouble for Lima Studio in the future?
Zhou Wei took out a document from the briefcase and handed it to Xia Lei. "This time we ask Mr. Xia to process the parts on it for us. This document contains drawings of the parts that need to be processed, various parameters, etc., and we will also provide you with the materials. You can take a look, and then we will talk about the contract later."
Xia Lei opened the document and started reading it.
Jiang Xin said: "Mr. Xia, I have a proposal."
Xia Lei asked casually: "What proposal?"
Jiang Xin said: "I hope Mr. Xia will register your studio as a company. Please understand that we are a national group and a large group. If we cooperate and you represent only a street studio, it will damage our reputation and will not benefit you."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Please rest assured about this. Actually, I had this plan before you came. You came and just implemented the plan in my mind in advance. I will register a company in the afternoon and find another piece of land to build a factory."
Zhou Wei suddenly came to Xia Lei's ear and whispered: "Mr. Xia, you can only process the parts we want. Do you understand what I mean? We can handle the ordinary parts ourselves."
Xia Lei smiled, "No problem."
Zhou Wei extended his hand to Xia Lei, "Happy cooperation."
Xia Lei shook hands with Zhou Wei, "Happy cooperation."
Jiang Xin also reached out to shake hands with Xia Lei, "Happy cooperation."
Xia Lei said: "Happy cooperation."
The employees of Lema Studio burst into applause.
