Please pull the trigger for this world one more time.

The supervisor opened the file folder, took out a thick stack of documents, and began quickly categorizing them.

He glanced at all the documents and certificates and took in all the information in just a few minutes. What an ordinary person might not finish reading in half an hour, this manager finished in just over half an hour.

After processing the data, the supervisor took out a form from the drawer.

"Master Guihai, I have reviewed your information, and it is very complete. Let's fill out the form directly and first determine the name."

By the way, your newly established company includes shops and an independent manufacturing plant, and it operates on a shareholding system, so the name must include the words "shareholding" and "manufacturing plant."

Gui Haishuo didn't hesitate much and blurted out the name: "Let's call it 'United Eight Directions Precision Weaponry Machinery Manufacturing Plant,' and the official abbreviation will be the first four characters, 'United Eight Directions.'"

"...Okay, let me confirm with you again. After the establishment of [United Eight Directions], the original Shuofeng Armaments and Yushu Machinery were all merged into it, and new shareholders Jiang Lüde and Mo Zian were added, right?"

"right."

"Okay, I've reviewed the shareholders' investment documents and authorization letters, no problem. Now, I'd like to confirm one more thing with you: your 'United Eight Directions' has four brands under it, namely Shuofeng, Yushu, Zhenlong, and Moshi, is that correct?"

"right."

"Okay, next up are the products and patents under the Shuofeng brand..."

The supervisor glanced at the long list of details and said, "Uh, I won't check with you one by one. Anyway, almost all of them were moved over by the old Shuofeng. Is that alright? This way, it won't take up your time."

"sure."

"Okay, next is the Yushu brand, which was also moved from the original Yushu Machinery... Oh, there's an additional product called 'Locomotive' and a series of corresponding patents. Do you see any problems with that?"

"no problem."

"Okay, next is Zhenlong brand. This brand is exclusively sold to the military. The current products are [Wushi] and [Jinge-2 Sniper Type]. The corresponding patent technologies are all obscured, so I won't ask about them."

"OK."

"Finally, there's the Mo's brand, but there are no products yet."

"right."

"Okay." The supervisor breathed a sigh of relief and filled in the form. "The rest is just some routine stuff. Please wait a moment, I'll be done in a minute."

The supervisor held a pen in each hand, filling out and marking forms with his left hand while beginning to write the "Business Registration Report" with his right.

Gui Haishuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have such a talent for multitasking. It's a bit of a waste of your abilities to be a mere front office manager here."

"Master, you flatter me. This is a skill I developed back in school," the supervisor said somewhat embarrassedly. "Back then, teachers in school often punished students by making them write texts. Writing with both hands together made it faster, so it's nothing special."

With the supervisor working in both directions, Gui Haishuo only had to wait for a few cups of tea before everything was completed.

"Alright, Master Guihai, I will now submit these documents and go through the approval process. Then our people will verify your investment, which will probably take a few days. After all the procedures are completed, I will personally deliver them to you."

"Okay! Thank you for your help."

Gui Haishuo stood up from his chair, then seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, we're old acquaintances, but I still don't know your name. It'll be awkward when we meet again."

"Haha, look at me, I didn't think it through. My name is Gao Xingye, the same Gao Xingye as in 'establishing a prosperous nation'."

"Xingbang Liye, a good name. How about this, next time we meet, I'll call you 'Xingye', that way it'll seem more familiar."

"Of course, no problem, Master Guihai." Gao Xingye seemed very pleased.

"Okay, Xingye, you can come visit me sometime."

"Okay, I'll definitely go if I have the chance."

……

In a riverside factory area on the eastern outskirts of Guangwu City, the gray brick walls of the factory area looked somewhat dilapidated but were tall and sturdy enough. The wooden doors, which were somewhat loosely constructed, had been removed and stood casually against the wall.

Gui Haishuo drove the Ether Car along the smooth lime road into the factory area, and after getting out of the car, he entered a large factory building.

Upon entering a spacious room on the third floor, Hengshu, who was writing something, turned his head and looked at Guihaishuo, who had just entered.

"Oh? That was quick. Is everything done? This time, the people from the Commerce Bureau didn't even open the drawer?"

"Everything's settled. I met a wonderful person, so things were a bit faster."

Gui Haishuo entered the room and sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance. He poured himself a glass of water and said, "This place is really nice. I heard it used to be an ether car factory. We didn't have to buy a lot of the equipment and furniture here. It's all thanks to you two."

"No, it's mainly thanks to my wife. Over the years, we've gotten to know quite a few people in this field by helping others with their drawings."

As Heng Shu picked up his pen, he said in a light tone, "In recent years, the Ether Cars within the Guangwu Empire have become less and less popular, so the original owner of this factory moved to the New South Province."

That's a new piece of land in Guangwu, with many preferential policies. They even let go of a lot of large equipment that couldn't be moved. My wife saw it, and it's in pretty good condition. We saved a lot of money."

Gui Haishuo nodded: "Yeah, not many ordinary people can afford ether cars, the adoption rate is too low, so market saturation is normal... Hey, by the way, Hengshu, I heard that cars that can run on gasoline are about to be launched, is that true?"

Hengshu confirmed, "It's true. My wife told me that the military is preparing to equip it in large quantities, and that's when the news started spreading in the civilian market."

"And you two..."

Hengshu shook his head decisively. "My wife is actually very knowledgeable about these new cars. I was wavering at the time, but my wife said that making cars is a separate industry, and we have no experience. Since we have a better option, there is no need to hit a wall."

We still plan to focus our efforts on two-wheeled motorcycles, and we also intend to develop a gasoline-powered version.

My wife said that if you want to run on gasoline, the core component is something called an "internal combustion engine," which can be installed in ordinary cars and motorcycles as well.

"Have you contacted the car dealership yet?" Gui Haishuo asked.

"Not yet." Hengshu's face showed a hint of difficulty. "Neither my husband nor I are cut out for this. It's such a new thing, I'm just afraid..."

Gui Haishuo reached out and interrupted Hengshu, "Brother, actually, we already have a buyer ready."

Hengshu was slightly taken aback: "You mean?"

Gui Haishuo stared into Hengshu's eyes and said, "Today is the 20th of Frost Moon. Can you produce a few Jinggong prototypes before the 45th of Frost Moon?"

"It should be possible...no, it definitely is!" Hengshu jumped up from his seat. "I'm going home now, calling my wife, to bring everything over, and we'll start working right now!"
