"Music like Queen, Eagles, or Beatles-style music? I can sing all of those," Wang Weibao said.

“Just teach them what they know, no matter what style it is, and it’s best to expand on it creatively. Don’t just imitate them all the time; you have to have your own style,” Xing Baohua said.

The two approached the band. Grandpa Li squatted down by the ground, smoking and looking at the blue and white clouds. Fortunately, the autumn sun wasn't too intense.

They enjoyed the wind, the sunshine, and the pastoral pleasures together.

They introduced the man to Wang Weibao, and they got to know each other.

Grandpa Li walked over, looked at Wang Weibao, and shook his head slightly, probably feeling a little intimidated by his attire and decorations.

“I don’t care how you learned before, or what instruments you’ve played. Electric instruments have their own unique charm.” Wang Weibao said, taking the electric guitar from Zhou Yi’s hands.

Show off your skills to the kids.

Xing Baohua's voice has a bit of a heavy metal feel to it.

This person is not bad.

After that, I went over to the drum set and played a bunch of drums. My rhythm was excellent.

Grandpa Li also started nodding along with the drumbeats; who would have thought that a man in his fifties would still have such energy?

In the fields, in the countryside, they sway their aging limbs in the autumn wind.

The rest is up to the professionals. Xing Baohua's only request is that Wang Weibao bring the person out as soon as possible. Someone will be coming to audition in the next couple of days and will need accompaniment.

Grandpa Li was providing them with music theory guidance based on their previous work on the sheet music.

If this band grows quickly, they'll be incredibly famous. Of course, it also depends on the lead singer. One girl like Zou Wenjuan isn't enough! We need to find two boys.

Let's put them together as a group first, and then separate them one by one.

Never mind, I'll sign if I find a suitable one.

Xing Baohua returned to his office and sighed softly. Teacher Cheng looked at him and chuckled.

Fortunately, no one bothered her after that, and Xing Baohua quickly dealt with her own affairs.

After finishing lunch, Xing Baohua sped up. His fingers flew across the keyboard; if you weren't paying attention, you could even see a few afterimages.

Teacher Ren said to Teacher Cheng, "How did you train like that?"

"Who knows!" Teacher Cheng replied softly.

Xing Baohua was almost finished with the program when he was disturbed again.

The person who came was invited by Teacher Cheng.

Designer and engineer at the J District Engineering Office.

A vehicle arrived, carrying two types of instruments and some equipment.

There were three people, including one who was a bit older, and these two assistants.

Teacher Cheng helped with the reception and then introduced Xing Baohua.

Zhang Kaiming is a civil engineer.

Using that money for the construction of Xing Baohua's small, run-down factory would be a waste of its potential.

However, Xing Baohua was quite happy. Although he was disturbed, he was glad to have a great expert come and help with the construction, and it would be best to build the factory workshop into a permanent structure.

Sturdy and durable, shockproof and waterproof. Most engineers wouldn't consider these features.

Xing Baohua benefited from this.

They're the kind of people you can't even invite, let alone see!

They won't take on civilian-related projects.

After inspecting the site, Engineer Zhang said to Xing Baohua, "You mean to build it layer by layer?"

"Yes, we're reserving space for the foundation of the next floor. Because the factory has limited funds in the early stages, it can't be completed all at once. It has to be completed in stages according to the available funds, and we can't delay the use of the lower-level workshops," Xing Baohua said.

“If we cut it into sections, the cost will gradually increase over time. It’s better to mold it as a single piece,” Engineer Zhang said.

"A two-year delay is possible, but the factory's production plan requires workshops, which is why I thought of multi-story duplex workshops." Xing Baohua smiled helplessly.

He also wanted to complete the process in one go, which would save a lot of money and time. Unfortunately, he didn't have the money; the funds he had were only enough to get started.

Then all parties need to advance funds, which takes a period of time, during which the funds advanced by other units must be made up.

Otherwise, if people see that you don't have money, who would be willing to continue to lend you money?

“Your idea is suitable for steel structures and reinforced concrete structures, but it will affect the safety of workers in the lower workshop. An additional safety passage will be needed, which will add to the construction cost.”

Xing Baohua nodded, thinking about it, and agreed.

“Shandong produces iron. I wonder if you can get the project plan? If you can, we can build a steel structure production workshop,” Engineer Zhang said.

"Approximately how much steel do we need?" Xing Baohua asked, now feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Steel structures are the best, but who would approve so much steel during the planned economy era!

Steel structures are also the fastest to construct.

"That's easy to calculate. Every type of steel structure factory building is different, depending on your needs. For example, a two-story building can bear a load of about 10 to 15 tons, requiring about 100gk steel per square meter. Your floor is only a little over 3,000 square meters, but a four-story building would have an area of ​​no less than 13,000 square meters. The steel used for the main steel structure would be about 1,300 tons. Of course, this is just an estimate, and a detailed measurement is needed to get a budget."

"Then you can calculate it, I have a rough idea now. I'll ask around tonight, and decide on the building materials tomorrow or the day after," Xing Baohua said.
