Chapter 140: Shanghai Fantasy
The next day, back in the city, Wu Hao first had his parents and sister return home, while he stayed behind to handle some matters regarding the machinery factory.
“Hao, our machinery factory is almost complete, and most of the equipment has been installed. However, the high-precision machine tools we ordered have been held up,” Hong Lei told Wu Hao when he found him, updating him on the recent situation and difficulties at the factory.
Wu Hao had been busy with other matters and hadn’t been involved with the factory. Initially, Hong Lei would call him for guidance, but Wu Hao would always reply, “Handle it with the factory staff.” After a few times, Hong Lei realized Wu Hao was preoccupied, so he stopped asking about the factory.
Now that the main buildings of the factory were almost completed, only some minor environmental projects remained. Standard machine tools and equipment had been installed, but Wu Hao had initially instructed Hong Lei to set high standards for the factory.
In addition to regular machines, they needed several high-precision CNC machines, which weren’t manufactured or sold domestically. These had to be imported. Hong Lei had already ordered several from abroad, but customs blocked them, citing a ban on selling such machines to China. Hong Lei had no choice but to inform Wu Hao, hoping he could find a solution.
“High-precision CNC machines?” Wu Hao pondered briefly before saying, “I’ll handle this. Cancel the previous orders. I’ll find another channel.” Wu Hao planned to have the Qinling Base manufacture a few industrial machines.
Although these machines were nothing special to Wu Hao, they were crucial for industrial manufacturers to enhance their production and precision capabilities. The Qinling Base had advanced equipment with 3D printing and precision machining capabilities, but Wu Hao wouldn’t reveal these high-tech machines to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
Unbeknownst to him, Wu Hao was already being monitored by certain individuals, who had yet to take any action.
