It took me a week just to look at the blueprints. It wasn't just a quick glance; there were many calculations involved, including determining the integrity of the aircraft in the blueprints and the accuracy of the data.

A dozen or so people divided the work and worked day and night to calculate it. In the end, they concluded that the blueprints were complete and could be purchased.

Upon learning the result, Xing Baohua asked Tu Sivanori for an overseas account and had Huahong Bank transfer the funds.

As for the eight scrapped engines, they will be sent to Pengfei along with the An series aircraft.

Although it's supposed to be scrapped, it's actually very well maintained. How else could it be taken out without being declared scrapped?

Xing Baohua had guards with him, and he carried the blueprints with him at all times. For safety, he had the thick blueprints photographed and then converted into electronic versions using a large scanner, using 18 20GB hard drives.

After settling everything in, Xing Baohua flew directly to Hong Kong.

Then someone was sent to deliver the drawings, negatives, and hard drive data to Pengfei. He copied a copy from the hard drive himself for his own records.

After a few days in Hong Kong, Xing Baohua finally felt much more relaxed and didn't go to the company.

Besides spending time with my two close female friends, I also focus on nourishing my body.

Just these past two days, Director Xue from a certain department called him, and immediately laughed and said to Xing Baohua, "Kid, you did a great job."

"Thank you for your compliment, it's my pleasure."

"Are there any needs or difficulties?" That's how leaders usually ask when they're showing concern.

Xing Baohua thought it over and didn't find any major difficulties. To be honest, his own difficulties were not something he could openly discuss, but it wouldn't be right not to make any requests!

"I didn't want to trouble you, but now that you mention it, I do have a small request. I set up a lithography factory, but after falling out with Philips, they stopped supplying us with materials. The most important material for lithography technology is photoresist, which we can't produce domestically and have to import. I managed to get some from Daying temporarily, but it's just a drop in the bucket and can only last for a while. I'm focused on domestic production, so could you help me transfer a few experts from the Ministry of Chemical Industry? I'm too shy to ask for help."

After Xing Baohua finished recounting her small request, Director Xue chuckled.

What might be a trivial matter in this person's eyes could be an insurmountable problem for Xing Baohua.

"Okay, then we'll concentrate our efforts to help you overcome this. In a couple of days, Lao Yu from the Ministry of Electronics will come to talk to you about something. He'll be bringing people from the Computer Bureau and the Communications Bureau. You'll have to receive them."

"Around when, I'm going to Japan next week," Xing Baohua said.

"It won't delay your schedule. That's all. Keep up the good work."

"Thank you! I will." Xing Baohua smiled to herself after saying that. It was so comforting to hear that he was being treated like a child. A simple word was better than any sweet talk.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Wei Laisong called back, saying he had good news for Xing Baohua: the higher authorities had issued a document to encourage the development of high technology.

It's basically a document from the Torch Program, targeting advanced industries, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment manufacturing, etc., offering policy subsidies and tax exemptions...

Whether it's rice or the Luzhong Automobile Factory, both are within the policy scope and enjoy some subsidies.

As long as the application is submitted here, the first high-tech subsidy in central Shandong will be in place, and to take care of rice, it will be tax-free for three years.

Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua realized that this was the seven hundred million US dollars that the higher-ups had spent on him to provide preferential treatment.

This is the meaning of returning a favor.

Unfortunately, the real money isn't made in China, but it doesn't really matter. We just made seven or eight billion pounds, so seven hundred million US dollars won't hurt us.

Hauser's technical team also came with their families. Xing Baohua asked Secretary Dong to arrange accommodation for them, since it wasn't far from the software park.

After integrating the software park, it was divided into four main departments: chip design, hardware design, and application software design.

Xing Baohua placed the last sales department in Huahong's office area.

The software park has been renamed Huahong Technology.

They also announced that they would look for an opportunity to list in Hong Kong within the next two years.

There's a buzz in Hong Kong's financial sector; everyone wants to get involved in Huahong Technology's IPO. Foreign banks are the main contenders, with banks like Great America and Great Eagle having an advantage in Hong Kong, and Morgan Stanley has also sent representatives.

Xing Baohua is too busy! Just have Huang Xingyao handle it, just accuse him of a little bit, and we'll deal with the rest later. Let's keep him hanging for now.

Xing Baohua would never hand over the IPO to foreign banks to act as market makers, even if it meant his own death.

Damn it, when I was in trouble, not a single person helped me. Now that I'm doing well, they all flock to me. Haha, Xing Baohua holds a grudge.

This announcement was actually meant to send a message to Mitsui Bank.

I'm going to Japan soon to pick up some things from Nikon. Without Mitsui's cooperation, I really can't get them out.

If Mitsui Bank wants to do its own IPO, it has to obey. The fact that it readily paid 40 million British pounds in interest was also a trigger.

Tell the other party that if they cooperate with him, they can make money very quickly.

News of Xing Baohua's profits from Eagle Group also reached Hong Kong, amounting to over 10 billion pounds, which led the media to haile him as a god.

Xing Baohua didn't feel good. He asked someone to give him a red envelope and asked those who were praising him to cover up the news. There were many desperate criminals in Hong Kong, and he didn't want anyone around him to be kidnapped and have to pay ransom.

The money was bribed, and some newspapers quieted down, but others continued to praise Xing Baohua to the point of ruin for the sake of sales. Well, they wouldn't listen to reason, so they had to suffer the consequences. Camel Brother got some business.

Only seven or eight tabloids suffered some losses; they published articles accusing Xing Baohua of the crime.

They immediately received a lawyer's letter from Xing Baohua's side and filed a lawsuit without hesitation, suing those tabloids for defamation.

In this day and age, evidence is important. You published a newspaper saying that Xing Baohua threatened you and hired people to vandalize your property, but did he do it himself?
