Chapter 327
Back in Zhou Kingdom, before Mu Bai had time to rest, he immediately accompanied Ma Jingping to Pinghai Mansion.

The two remodeled workshops have been put into production successively. As soon as Mu Bai entered the original engine workshop, he immediately heard the roar of the engine.

It turned out that two locomotive engine prototypes were being tested. Looking at the two trembling engines, Mu Bai's mood also became excited. He finally grasped the sharp sword to open the world!
He didn't feel much better when the engine was just a part, just on the production line.

After putting it in front of him, Mu Bai felt the surging power brought by technology.

Zou Hai reported to Mu Bai: "We named this conventional engine 'National Rhythm No. [-]', and it has basically met the design requirements at present.

"The requirements include but are not limited to, the engine life is about 20% longer than that of the current Shandong countries, and the failure rate within ten years can be controlled within one thousandth."

Mu Bai is very satisfied with this engine, the 20% life extension can completely become the core productivity of Guoyun.

It's just that a good engine factory needs time to accumulate. He estimates that it will take more than a year before the relevant advantages can be reflected.

Zou Hai also introduced the high-quality engine named 'Guoyunyou No. [-]'. From the perspective of various parameters, it definitely surpassed the half-generation engine of Shandong countries!

Then Mu Bai went to visit Guoyun Parts Factory, where there are the most advanced machine tools in the world, as well as many general-purpose machine tools in China.

Even the skilled workers hired by Ma Jingping were a little confused when faced with the machine tools smuggled from Qi.

Zou Hai revealed to Mu Bai that the scrap rate of workpieces in the parts factory was quite high at the beginning, and if they want to complete mass production, they need to purchase a batch of parts for them to practice.

And Ma Jingping also took the opportunity to start asking for money, advertising, sales, construction of new factories, subsequent procurement of raw materials, etc., all of which cost money.

Mu Bai injected capital into Guoyun again. If the preparations for mass production are not made, even if the sales staff sells the engine, they will face the embarrassing situation of having no goods to deliver.

After the new round of capital injection, not only the studio's funds have returned to before liberation, but Mu Bai has also returned to before liberation, leaving only some money for himself for emergency use.

With such strong support from Mu Bai, the only requirement is to receive orders and complete mass production before the new year.

Ma Jingping is full of confidence in this. After all, the two engines are very cost-effective, so they don't worry about selling them.

On the way back to Weicheng Mansion, Mu Bai received a call from Gu Boying. She said that she seemed to have not grasped the essence of "Espresso".

Mu Bai parked the car on the side of the road and reminded her that a hoarse voice could be used in some places.

Gu Boying tried it, and it really got better.

The two had been communicating for more than half an hour. Gu Boying found the feeling of singing "Espresso" before hanging up the phone.

Just as he was about to continue his return journey, Mu Bai saw a small stall selling harmonicas on the side of the road.

Mu Bai thought of the harmonica skills he had just acquired, so he got out of the car and bought a harmonica.

Back in Weicheng Mansion, Mu Bai has been paying attention to the sales of the engine in addition to staring at Jin's lawsuit.

Besides, he was preparing for Qin's banquet.

Ji Yuanjie was going to give the second sister a special gift, and wanted to play "Kikujiro's Summer" with Mu Bai again. Mu Bai played the violin this time, and Ji Yuanjie still played the piano.

For this idea, Mu Bai naturally agreed, and he went to the music department to borrow a piano room, and practiced with Ji Yuanjie whenever he had time.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Mu Bai, who was ready, took a special plane to Qin.

……

The technical director of Baiyang Automobile Factory looked at the engine parameters in his hand, shook his head with a smile, and said to the salesperson opposite: "You can't cheat, why didn't I hear that there are such high-quality engines in China? "

The salesperson of Guoyun smiled and said: "Everything is false, I can provide you with a free sample for your company to test the machine.

"If we fail to meet our promise, there is no loss for you. If it is achieved, Baiyang Automobile Factory will immediately stand out!"

The technical director was stunned, this is true, if the life of the engine is really so long, and the failure rate is really so low, it can kill competitors' cars in seconds!
As for the "Guoyunyou No. [-]" engine, Ma Jingping plans to put it on the market next year, otherwise no one will believe that a newly established engine factory will produce such high-quality products!

The salesperson leaned forward again and said, "And according to the rules, I will give you two points instead."

The technical director no longer hesitated: "Okay, I will arrange a test machine, but you have to pay the corresponding fee."

"No problem." The salesperson agreed quickly.

……

At the turning point of the Zhou royal family, Mu Bai and Ji Yuanhun finally sat together, chatting casually.

Because Ji Yuanjie, the eldest sister, and the two sister-in-laws got together, and the two little girls, Ji Peifan and Ji Peiruo, were chattering non-stop, and Mu Bai couldn't intervene at all.

As for Ji Yuanhun, as soon as he got on the plane, he sat in the corner with great experience.

Ji Yuanhun still put on a cold face: "My family watched "My Neighbor Totoro" at the theater in the palace, and it was very good."

"Thank you." Mu Bai also said: "Several scientists who went to your place were full of praise for you, saying that you are the hope of Zhou Guo's technology."

Ji Yuanhun felt that the current atmosphere was a bit strange: "I didn't expect that we would still sit together and hug each other calmly."

"There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests." Mu Bai smiled and said: "Oh, except for Ming Guoshi, this old guy likes to use dirty tricks too much, I may never like him."

Ji Yuanhun smiled and said, "He is a national scholar after all."

"If he were not a national scholar, I wouldn't hate him so much." Mu Bai said with a smile. If he were a national scholar, it would be impossible for him to be serious with a young man, nor would he use such despicable methods against a young man. .

Let's talk about it. When I came to the state of Qin, Qin Zhongyu, the prince of Qin, didn't hold a big banquet because of his wife's birthday, but just held a family banquet in the mansion.

Mu Bai was the second center at the banquet, and now he is a little famous internationally, and he is also a friend brought by Ji Yuanjie. The two young people seem to be quite close, and everyone is very curious about Mu Bai.

Mu Bai didn't immediately talk to Qin Zhongyu about the branch office, since this is a family banquet, let's not talk about business matters.

According to the plan, he played "Summer of Kikujiro" with Ji Yuanjie. This song was new to everyone, and it was very suitable for such an occasion, and finally won a lot of applause.

After the dinner, Mu Bai and other guests lived in Qin Zhongyu's mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Bai got up early to take a walk in the garden. After seeing Qin Zhongyu and his wife from a distance also came for a walk in the garden, Mu Bai was about to meet him, but felt that such a meeting was too abrupt.

He had a plan, took out the harmonica he bought a few days ago, and played "Scarborough Fair".

The beautiful melody, coupled with the crisp timbre of the harmonica, immediately attracted the attention of Qin Zhongyu and his wife, and they slowly came here.

Mu Bai slightly nodded towards them, but did not stop playing.

Until the end of a beautiful tune, Qin Zhongyu and his wife gave applause without hesitation.

Mu Bai bowed slightly to the two: "Excuse me."

"We would like to thank you. Hearing such a beautiful piece of music early in the morning is a very good start." Qin Zhongyu smiled.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Zhongyu said to his wife, "I'll have a private chat with Mu Bai."

After his wife left, Qin Zhongyu and Mu Bai walked in another direction.

Qin Zhongyu said: "I didn't expect you to be Yuan Jie's friend."

He paused and continued: "But even so, I don't intend to withdraw the accusation against Guofeng."

Mu Bai was slightly taken aback, but then he smiled and said, "I understand, this time I came to Qin just to find out, which aspect of unfair competition does the branch involve?"

"All," Qin Zhongyu said, "all the businesses of Guofeng Branch have had a considerable impact on Qin's cultural market.

"I am also a reader of "Inuyasha", but this comic has already started to shrink the comic market in Qin.

"There is also the stereoscopic image business of Guofeng Studio. No matter how hard Qin's similar studios work, I estimate that within two or three years, they will not be able to reach the level of Guofeng. This will plunge the entire industry into a recession."

"I always believe that only after enough impact can the cultural industry make some progress." Mu Bai said with a smile: "If there is no conflict and impact between cultures, the entire cultural market will become a stagnant pool."

Qin Zhongyu said: "I don't deny your point of view, but if the impact is too great, it will become a disaster. Besides, there are too many funds flowing out of Guofeng Studio. If it is not controlled, the consequences will be serious!"

Mu Bai immediately understood the point of the words, he pondered for a while before saying: "See if this works, I will invest hundreds of millions in Qin State next year to build factories such as engines."

Qin Zhongyu was taken aback: "Are you still involved in industrial investment?"

"Yes, but please keep it secret."

Qin Zhongyu thought about it for a while. Last year, the Qin State was too hasty in the process of political reform, which caused a large number of industrial bankruptcies. There are still tens of thousands of people unemployed, so the Qin State welcomes industrial investment more than ever.

He smiled and said: "Yes! As long as you give back to Qin, Qin will be happy to watch the country continue to grow."

After talking about the business, they chatted a little more, and the two went back to have breakfast together.

In the morning, Mu Bai and others left Qin Zhongyu's mansion and took a special plane to return home.

After getting off the plane, Yang Wenjun called Mu Bai, saying that Qin Guo canceled the complaint against the branch company.

She asked Mu Bai: "Qin's accusation was also initiated by Ming's scholars?"

"Because it doesn't matter anymore," Mu Bai said, "Anyway, it has been resolved."

Through the conversation with Qin Zhongyu, Mu Bai probably guessed that Qin's complaint had nothing to do with the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. It was only when Qin Zhongyu found out that the domestic cultural market had been hit that he filed such a complaint.

On the other side, the lawsuit in Jin State officially started. Many people did not expect that the Guofeng Branch would choose to file a lawsuit, because it would cost a lot of money, the cycle would be long, and there was little chance of winning.

At the same time as this lawsuit was launched, there was also the campaign of Guofeng.com. Only then did the users of Guofeng.com know the ins and outs of the lawsuit, and only then did they understand the extent to which the Jin Dynasty's government had become corrupt.

Those who were prepared to see the jokes of Guofeng branch realized the advantages of Guofeng.

A few days after Mu Bai returned to China, Ma Jingping reported to him that Guoyun had signed a supply contract with Baiyang Automobile Factory.

Baiyang Automobile Factory ordered [-] "Guoyun No. [-]" engines in one go.

With this order, the engine factory can basically be responsible for its own profits and losses.

But there are still too many construction projects that need money, such as foundries and chip factories that are being built first.

Although these two factories will not be put into production until next year, the preliminary preparations will start now.

There is also an engine research center. Naturally, Guoyun's engine cannot stop at "Guoyun You No. [-]", and more and more advanced new models will be designed in the future.

This requires investment in design and research, at least once the research center is completed, it can be put into use immediately.

But now Mu Bai has no money to invest in, so he can only wait for "My Neighbor Totoro" to return the funds.

In addition to the engine, there is another piece of good news. Five songs including "Espresso" are all in the top ten of the "New List".

Moreover, "Espresso" has been steadily ranked No.1 in the "new list" since its release.

Such a ranking is unique. Not to mention an individual, even Shesheng has never achieved the feat of having five songs in the top ten of the "New Chart" in the twelfth lunar month.

Gu Boying even felt the panic of the Ming Guoshi team, because "Espresso" released two good songs provided by the bachelor after No.1, including a song by the scholar Yunqing.

But the results of these songs are only infinitely close to "Espresso", and have never surpassed it.

Therefore, Mu Bai and Gu Boying won the Best Newcomer Award and the Best Composer Award this year.

After Mu Bai learned that Bachelor Yunqing had released a song, he greeted Liu Zhenfa and his wife and moved to a place closer to the studio.

Now that Yunqing has made a move, it's almost time to meet Ming Guoshi's team.

Mu Bai had suspected for a long time that Bachelor Yun was a member of Ming Guoshi's team, but he was kind enough that Mu Bai didn't tear up his face with him in the first place. Now it seems that he can't continue to pretend that he doesn't know up.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the first income from "My Neighbor Totoro" arrived in the account, finally alleviating Mu Bai's plight of lack of money.

At the same time, according to the plan, Guofeng Studio's game "The Legend of King Mu" will be released during the Spring Festival.

The children who were on vacation immediately set off a wave of games, especially in Qin State, this game is very popular among young people, and the sales volume of the Qin State branch reached more than 50 on the first day.

This allowed Mu Bai to make a lot of money on the eve of the Spring Festival and live a prosperous year.

On New Year's Eve, the final results of the new list came out, "Espresso" ranked first, and "You" also reached the third place.

This issue of "New Ranking" was called Mu Bai's own performance. With his own strength, he defeated three bachelors including Bachelor Yun and several senior students.

　Thank you [Hezhou] for the recommendation ticket.
