Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

Around 3 p.m., Sun Qiang arrived at the lab and told them to have a meeting after get off work.

Each meeting of the Quality Inspection Department lasts anywhere from ten minutes to more than half an hour.

The quality control department of Hailong Flooring Factory, officially named the Technical Quality Control Department, is similar to the quality control departments of other factories.

Qi Bing called Zhao Xingyue and continued smoking and drinking tea in the lab.

Throughout the entire quality inspection department, Qi Bing visited the workshop almost as often and for as long as He Haiqiang—very infrequently.

At five o'clock, everyone in the quality inspection department gathered in the conference room on the second floor.

He Haiqiang said, "Today's meeting focused on only one issue: the problem of oil on the panels."

Zhou Shaoqiang said, "Manager, the panel is made of cloned wood, which naturally contains a lot of oil..."

Clone wood, also known as fake teak, is almost entirely imported from Puguo in Southeast Asia.

A fake teak panel costs around twenty yuan to buy, and a fake teak base costs around ten yuan to buy.

He Haiqiang said, "The supplier of the fake teak panel was chosen by General Manager Chen, so let's not talk about that. General Manager Chen asked our quality control department to research a method to remove the grease from the panel. Once it's done, we'll give them a bonus of 50,000 yuan."

Wang Mingyuan said, "Manager, we can have the production department polish it a few more times to reduce the amount of grease."

Sun Qiang said, "The oil in cloned wood penetrates into the material. Even if it looks clean after sanding, the oil will reappear after a period of time. The finished wood planks may be returned by customers when they are sent to headquarters."

Hailong Group has many clients, and different clients have different requirements for products.

Some customers value the strength of wood flooring, while others value its appearance.

He Haiqiang asked, "Qi Bing, what are your thoughts?"

Qi Bing casually remarked, "There's only one best way: find a way to wash off the grease."

The oil in cloned wood is a natural resin, and with the technology mastered by Qi Bing, breaking down natural resin is a piece of cake.

Some people think grease can be washed off with soap, while others suggest trying a cleaning agent...

During the meeting, which lasted about twenty minutes, colleagues offered many suggestions, and He Haiqiang finalized the bonus distribution plan.

Whoever solves the oil problem will receive a bonus of 30,000 yuan. Of the remaining 20,000 yuan, 15,000 yuan will be distributed according to the level of participation, and the other 5,000 yuan will be distributed per person.

After getting off work, he would eat, take a bath, and beat his wife. Qi Bing ordered Xuanhuang Chemical Plant to produce solvents for cleaning various greases.

A few days later, Qi Bing wrote a shopping request and then asked He Haiqiang to sign it.

A few days later, a barrel of resin cleaning agent produced by Xuanhuang Chemical Plant was delivered to the factory.

Spray on the resin cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with water; almost all the grease on the panel will disappear.

Qi Bing himself didn't care about the 30,000 yuan bonus, but many people in the factory were envious and jealous.

The amount of bonus received varied depending on the level of participation in the project. Li Shihua, Wang Mingyuan, Sun Qiang, and Zhou Shaolong each received 3,000 yuan, while the eight quality inspectors in the quality inspection department each received 1,000 yuan.

The factory gave a bonus of 50,000 yuan, but the factory received a bonus of 500,000 yuan from the headquarters.

Of the 500,000 yuan bonus the factory received from headquarters, Chen Xiao received 350,000 yuan and He Haiqiang received 150,000 yuan.

The bonus of several hundred thousand yuan seems like a lot, but it is insignificant compared to the profits of Hailong Group.

With the technology to remove wood grease, Hailong Group's dozen or so wood flooring factories can significantly reduce costs.

The resin cleaning agent produced by Xuanhuang Chemical Plant costs thirty yuan per unit. If you save a little, you can clean dozens or even hundreds of wooden floors.

The amount of grease on a panel can vary greatly, ranging from less than one-fifth of the total area to less than the size of a washbasin.

A standard-sized finished wood floor is nearly 1.2 meters wide and almost 2.4 meters long.

Qi Bing finds joy in his simple yet fulfilling life.

He has a job, and time flies by during his workdays; he has very little time to do nothing.

At nine o'clock that morning, Qi Bing and Zhou Shaolong went out to inspect the goods in Liu Hu's new car.

Zhou Shaolong asked, "Boss Liu, how much did this car cost?"

Liu Hu laughed and said, "Almost a million."

Zhou Shaolong said, "Boss Liu, why do I feel that your car isn't as comfortable as Brother Bing's car?"

Liu Hu asked in surprise, "Mr. Qi, you bought a car?"

Qi Bing casually remarked, "I bought a Xuanhuang off-road vehicle."

Liu Hu said with some pride, "This car of mine is a New Balance Niu Fini manufactured by John Bull. It's a fully imported car, and many people don't recognize it."

Qi Bing said, "This car sells very few units in Daxia, so repairing it must be a lot of trouble."

Liu Hu said hesitantly, "Yes, if this car breaks down, some parts will have to be shipped from John Bull."

The Xuanhuang SUV offers a great driving experience, but it has only been on the market for a few months. When Liu Hu was buying a car, he was worried about potential problems with the Xuanhuang SUV and ended up buying a Niufei Nidi instead.

Liu Hu is one of the factory's suppliers. He owns a mine in Mengzhou, a real estate company in his hometown of Wanzhou, a drying factory in Luotang Town, and a credit company in partnership with others.

By delivering a truckload of goods to Hailong Wood Flooring Factory, Liu Hu's net profit was approximately three thousand yuan.

Mining bosses sound impressive, but in reality, some mining bosses don't make much money.

When outsiders operate mining operations, local powers rip them off, reducing their profits by more than half. In the event of a mining accident, they even have to lose money.

Some businessmen who went to Montreal to mine nickel had their profits stolen by cunning and extortionate schemes, and some mine owners even disappeared completely.

Many people who went into real estate development in Yangcheng, Qianzhou, not only failed to make money, but also lost everything.

Even those in the environmental protection industry might have their factories built and just about to turn a profit when someone buys them for free.

In this vast world of the Middle Thousand Worlds, some people sold airlines worth billions for a single dollar, while others sold schools worth over a billion dollars for just two dollars...

Having disguised themselves as ordinary people in the Great Xia Reincarnation Palace, the Qi soldiers had no immediate intention of killing the enemy.

Those who commit many evil deeds will experience various punishments before entering the Great Xia Reincarnation Palace after death and being reincarnated.

Liu Hu changed the subject: "I'm currently out of money. Your factory still owes me over five million yuan in outstanding payments. If you can help me get that payment, I'll give you fifty thousand yuan."

Qi Bing said, "Boss Liu, how could we, two ordinary employees, possibly help you collect payments?"

After the external inspection was completed and he returned to the factory, Qi Bing, who had nothing to do, went for a stroll in the workshop.

The factory workshops are divided into material preparation, gluing, cutting, and molding.

Material preparation is responsible for preparing the corresponding materials according to the drawings; gluing is responsible for applying glue and hot pressing; cutting is responsible for processing the dimensions and sanding; and molding is responsible for manual sanding and packaging.

Yang Yi jokingly said, "God of Wealth, you actually came to the workshop."

Qi Bing retorted, "Manager Yang, can't I come to the workshop?"

"Your partner Zhou Shaolong is not honest..." Yang Yi whispered about Zhou Shaolong's affair with a female worker in the workshop.

Qi Bing didn't take it seriously: "It's a matter of mutual consent, and no one can interfere."

Yang Yi asked, "Any stocks you're eyeing lately?"

Qi Bing said, "You can buy Hailong Group's stock. According to my prediction, if you buy now, it will probably rise to about 32 yuan by the end of the year. Sell it when it reaches 30 yuan, and you'll make a profit."

Yang Yi took out his phone and checked Hailong's stock. It was currently a little over fifteen yuan. With only four months left until the end of the year, if it rose from fifteen to thirty-two, the profit would be more than double.

Qi Bing said, "Many listed companies in Daxia that are engaged in real industries can buy stocks blindly as long as they have strong enough mental fortitude. Many people lose money in the stock market because they are too impatient."

"That's true. Many people invest in stocks. When they see a stock price rise, they wait for it to continue rising. When they see a stock price fall, they hold on for a few days and then can't help but sell. But if you invest in stocks of real industrial companies for the long term, you can basically make a profit."
