The train driver in the courtyard

The next day, the forestry department staff arrived at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

The continuous hot-drying method for producing plywood quickly passed the evaluation and was officially listed by the forestry department as the standard process for plywood production.

At the same time, the forestry department also began planning the production of plywood.

The production base was chosen in Northeast China.

Centered on Harbin and Mudanjiang, several integrated processing plants, including Songjiang Plywood Factory and Xiangfang Timber, were renovated.

Located near the Lesser Khingan Mountains and Zhangguangcai Mountains forest areas, the area has access to locally sourced raw materials such as linden and birch, saving on transportation costs.

Meanwhile, the well-developed forest railway and Songhua River shipping facilitate the transportation of raw materials and the export of products.

The exported plywood products still rely on Hextech's distribution channels.

In just six months, domestic plywood has become a bestseller both at home and abroad thanks to its superior quality.

Li Aiguo did not pay attention to these things.

Instead, they focused their efforts on weapon design for double-decker buses and small aircraft.

In my spare time, I play the doll-making game with Miss Chen. Life is so sweet.

A month later.

"Patriotism, all the spare parts have been loaded onto the train. We even customized a railcar this time so that we could fit all the spare parts," said the comrade in charge of transportation at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, pointing to the railcar.

The first double-decker bus, as before, was disassembled into parts, assembled in the port city, and then marked with the logo of Hextech Huaxing Automobile Factory.

Then, using Red Star Shipping's ocean-going freighters, it was delivered to the port of Le Havre in France.

This time, Yang Jizong personally led the team, accompanied by his girlfriend Adeline.

The relationships among the nobility on Xiao Ou's side are particularly chaotic.

At the young age of seventeen, Hughes X of Gaul was willing to give up Joan, the daughter of Isabella, in order to acquire a fiefdom in the west, and instead marry his mother-in-law, Isabella.

This is a story about a son-in-law marrying his mother-in-law.

Edward I of John Bull went even further, not only marrying Margaret, but also being Henry III's son by lineage and thus his wife's great-great-uncle.

It's definitely a case of an uncle marrying his granddaughter.

Adele, the daughter of the Duke of John Bull, was related to several prominent French families through her aristocratic bloodline, and their relationships were closer than one might imagine.

no way.

After liberation, we cleaned the house thoroughly. The swallows that once graced the halls of noble families now fly into the homes of ordinary people.

The people on Xiao Ou's side still prefer to play the role of royalty and nobility.

The bus was covered with heavy canvas and escorted all the way to the bidding parking lot on the outskirts of Paris.

Meanwhile, the competition buses from the three major French car manufacturers also arrived one after another, similarly covered with tarpaulins and parked to the side.

The heads of the tourism and railway departments of the French also came.

Almost simultaneously, various media outlets from Xiaomei's and Xiaoou's families began to generate buzz.

The front page of the Gallic Telegraph, with the eye-catching headline "Huaxing Manufacturing Lands in Europe," explained in detail the origins of the Huaxing Automobile Factory and recounted the historical ties between Dongdaitie and Gallic countries.

Without even asking, it was obvious that Old Dai was behind it all.

John Bull's Times went even further, using Adele's aristocratic status as a starting point, with the headline "Duke's Daughter Escorts Oriental Buses to Europe," subtly highlighting the connections behind this transport trip.

The Wall Street Journal, owned by the American company, was less polite, with the headline "Eastern 'Assembled Cars' Challenge the European Market? Huaxing's Strength Questionable."

The accompanying picture showed a pile of worn-out tractor parts, the implication of which was already clear.

The atmosphere was already tense even before the bidding started.

The Gallic chickens are also cunning.

Seeing the competition for tour bus orders attract a lot of attention, they simply invited a large number of reporters and tourists to come.

Firstly, it's to advertise tourism in France.

Another reason is to prevent Xiaomei's family from refusing to acknowledge their failure to secure orders.

As for Dongdaite, everyone knows he's an honest man; even if he suffers a loss, he won't cheat.

The commotion grew louder and louder.

The bigger it gets, the more noisy it becomes.

Finally, even the tabloids on the street published news about the bidding.

Audrey worked for a financial company on the Champs-Élysées in France, making her a typical high-earning professional in this era.

Her biggest hobby is traveling.

Of course, the Tyrannosaurus Rex SUV and the Velociraptor sports car are beyond the reach of someone in her social class.

I immediately became interested when I saw that Huaxing Motors had launched a tour bus.

You can ride a Red Star scooter anywhere, but the distance is too short.

So Audrey wrote down the address in the newspaper, contacted a few friends, and rushed to the center of the venue.

Inside the center of the venue at this moment.

People from the Gallic family, the three major car dealers, and Yang Jizong, representing Huaxing Automobile, were already standing on the podium.

"Gentlemen, let's admire these four of the most advanced and beautiful tour buses in the world."

The flashbulbs went off in a flurry.

Amidst countless gazes.

Representatives from various car dealerships took turns unfurling their canvas covers, revealing the silhouettes of traditional buses that drew scattered admiration.

When Yang Jizong and Adele jointly lifted the cover of Huaxing Bus, the entire audience fell into a deathly silence, followed by a thunderous gasp!
"My God! This is a moving palace!"

"I've never seen a bus like this before, it's so beautiful!"

All eyes were instantly drawn to the double-decker bus belonging to Huaxing Company.

The pearl white paint job, along with a large black high-gloss trim panel below the windshield and a chrome-plated "HuaXing" logo in the center, exudes a high-end, sophisticated, and classy feel.

Glass was used in every possible place, and the roof glass could even be opened.

The vehicle is 14 meters long, 4 meters high, and 2.55 meters wide.

The tourists standing below looked as if they were standing in front of a small building.

As a tour bus, it is necessary to consider the needs of tourists. The upper level of the vehicle is designed as a continuous seating area, while the lower level is designed with a meeting area, a simple kitchen, and restrooms, serving as the center of the activity.

"My God, you can even use the toilet on a bus."

"It can also cook."

"What a miserable life I used to live while traveling!" Audrey's eyes lit up when she saw the Huaxing tour bus.

"If a travel company buys a bus like this, I'll definitely sign up next time."

Anyone who has ever ridden a bus knows that there are two things to worry about most when traveling by bus: being hungry and needing to urinate.

The emergence of Huaxing double-decker buses has perfectly solved this problem.

Of course, the French, who have always valued romance and elegance, place even greater emphasis on the interior design.

Audrey followed the tourists up the steps to the car and was immediately stunned.

The wooden interior throughout the car is even more beautiful than anything made by old carpenters, with a subtle sheen.

"This seems to be a completely new type of wood?"

"Wait a minute, how did they manage to make it so smooth?"

"Luxurious, so incredibly luxurious."

The other three major bus manufacturers watched as the passengers and judges crowded around the Huaxing double-decker bus, then turned to look at their own buses, and were all speechless.

Compared to Huaxing Double-Decker Buses, their buses are like antiques.

They were seething with anger.

Originally, they planned to use Langley's connections to do something, but Old Dai was not someone to be trifled with and had already sent people to keep an eye on Langley and his group.

They also wanted to hire some thugs to cause trouble; this was the most basic and effective tactic in business warfare.

Unexpectedly, before the thugs even got close to the parking lot, they were brutally beaten by two groups. One group was a local gang, who were very polite and claimed to be commissioned by Mike Corleone.

The Corleone family has now become the most powerful family in New York.

They've also established a branch in their hometown of Italy, extending their influence to France.

The other group was a bunch of young Russian men, who were said to be backed by Andrei Trading.

These young Russian men are the most ruthless; Molotov cocktails and AK rifles are their most commonly used weapons.

I can't afford it, I can't afford it.

After learning who these two parties were, the thugs were so frightened that they returned the deposit that very night and told the three car dealers to leave immediately.

“Although the exterior and interior look good, the most important function of a bus as a means of transportation is still transport. With such a tall body, it must be unstable to drive!” At this moment, a Ford representative stepped forward.

This viewpoint was unanimously agreed upon by reporters from Xiaomei's hometown.

Yang Jizong remained calm and composed, a serene smile playing on his lips: "Since you all have doubts, why not witness it for yourselves—"

He raised his hand to signal the staff, "Let's let the actual test speak for itself and see if Huaxing Bus really has the capability!"

If Li Aiguo were here, he would definitely give Yang Jizong a thumbs up, praising him for portraying the crooked-mouthed dragon king so vividly.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly pushed to a climax.

The flashbulbs went off again, flashing wildly.
