Lin Ye gently shook his head.

His gaze lowered slightly for a moment, then rose again to meet Zhao Zheng's eyes once more.

"It depends on the police investigation this time." Lin Ye's tone was calm. He didn't mention the more profitable guess, but simply stated the facts.

"The one who did it last time was an experienced worker in the factory, and the police couldn't find out who was behind it."

Zhao Zheng listened without saying anything.

He clenched his fist behind his back, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sound.

"It's almost certainly Meng Kang!"

"Twice in one month, and both times it was for this batch of goods—who else could it be but Meng Kang!?"

He let out a cold laugh, his voice suddenly rising:

"That Meng Kang! Does he really think we at Shengheng are all fools?!"

Despite being seventy years old, he had a large lung capacity, and his voice echoed in the empty warehouse, making the fluorescent light tubes seem to sway slightly.

"And that Langko—"

"A factory that makes precision manufacturing doesn't focus on researching technology or implementing quality control; instead, it does all this underhanded stuff!"

Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes.

Meng Kang and Lang Ke, just you wait!

If they don't pay the price this time, I'll change my name to Zhao Zheng!

After about five or six seconds, Zhao Zheng's breathing finally changed from rapid to even.

"But we can talk about those things later. Right now, the more important thing is this batch of goods..." Zhao Zheng let out a heavy sigh.

He raised his hand again, gesturing to the people behind him: "Inspect first."

The technicians behind him seemed to wake from a dream and started to move.

Zhao Zheng stood to the side, his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over every inch of the leaf's surface.

He nodded repeatedly as he looked at it, his expression one of satisfaction.

After the samples were roughly inspected, Zhao Zheng took the notebook containing the data, took out his reading glasses from the inner pocket of his Zhongshan suit, put them on his nose, and looked down at them line by line.

Looking at the seemingly perfect data in front of me, I couldn't help but feel even more guilty.

Xingcheng Precision did its best to produce for them, but their own people kept dragging their feet and almost ruined such good products.

He couldn't help but ponder this.

The turbine disk supplier we used to work with has been delivering increasingly inferior products lately. Although they are barely usable, their increasingly careless attitude has left me very dissatisfied, so I might as well replace them this time.

Although he hadn't seen Xingcheng Precision's turbine disk sample yet, he was willing to give Xingcheng Precision a chance to try.

Even if it's not as good as the blade, as long as it's usable, the company will accept it, as an apology for this incident.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Ye.

"President Lin," Zhao Zheng said, his voice a few decibels deeper than before. "We at Shengheng will buy this batch of goods at double the price."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, but did not immediately agree or decline, knowing that Zhao Zheng had not finished speaking.

As expected, Zhao Zheng continued, "From now on, Shengheng's blade orders will be handled by your Xingcheng Precision. I will directly register this in Shengheng's supply chain system. As long as you can guarantee the quality, Shengheng will not replace you."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the pile of crates, before speaking again after a moment's thought: "And then there's..."

"Over the years I've been in this industry, I've known a fair number of people, though not a small number either. To be honest, the quality of your batch of blades is top-tier, even on a national scale."

"I will recommend you to other friends who might need this service."

Besides wanting to make up for some of my own shortcomings, it was also because this batch of goods was truly worthwhile.

After listening, Lin Ye smiled. Zhao Zheng was indeed very sincere.

"Mr. Zhao, there's no need for double the price," Lin Ye said, his tone calm but firm. "The goods will still be sold at the contract price. Xingcheng Precision gets orders based on quality. Your entrusting us with your future orders is the best recognition we can give you."

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes showed more admiration for Lin Ye.

This young man, however, is not greedy at all.

He didn't insist, but simply said, "Then let's do it your way," and stopped dwelling on the issue.

"There's one more thing," Zhao Zheng said, changing the subject.

"Shengheng is currently looking for a new supplier of powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks."

"The factory we used to work with has been sending increasingly worse products lately. They're still barely usable, but their attitude is very clear. If this continues, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later."

He looked up at Lin Ye and asked, "Can your factory make powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks?"

"Putting everything else aside, as long as you can reach 70% of the quality of your batch of leaves, Shengheng will give you priority consideration."

"However, the manufacturing difficulty required for this type of turbine disk is not on the same level as that for blades. If you find it too difficult, you don't have to force yourself."

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

Powder metallurgical high-temperature alloy turbine disk.

Of course he knew what it was—

One of the most expensive single parts in an aero-engine, a single piece can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the requirements for material uniformity and fatigue life are on another level.

If it were another small factory owner who was just starting out, they would probably hesitate after hearing this, or say a few polite words first and then try to answer before replying.

But Lin Ye is not the boss of other small factories.

He has money, and he provides the factory with the best equipment. He can meet all the equipment and requirements for making powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks!

"I can do it!" Lin Ye said confidently, his tone earnest and resolute.

"Xingcheng Precision can make powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks. Give us a few days to make a sample, and the quality will speak for itself."

Zhao Zheng was also somewhat surprised. So straightforward? And, does quality speak for itself?

Okay! He's really looking forward to it.

"Okay," Zhao Zheng nodded. "Contact me directly when the samples are ready, and I'll test them myself."

After finishing the business, it was already past five o'clock. Faced with Wang Musheng's invitation to dinner, Zhao Zheng shook his head:

"I won't eat. I need to rush back to report to the company's senior management today. I also need to cooperate with the police investigation on Meng Kang's side. After the goods are delivered, I need to quickly retest them, and once the retest is successful, I can arrange production."

He reached out and gave Lin Ye a final, firm handshake.

"President Lin, I'll treat you to dinner next time we have the chance." Zhao Zheng smiled slightly. "I'll owe you today's meal."

Lin Ye grasped Zhao Zheng's hand, bowed slightly, and said with genuine respect, "Mr. Zhao, I'll be waiting for you anytime."

Lin Ye and Wang Musheng accompanied Zhao Zheng out of the factory.

I watched their car, along with the cargo trucks behind it, drive further and further away.

The early winter wind blew in from the east of the factory area, skimming the ground, swirling up a few withered yellow leaves, and making a sizzling sound as they scraped across the concrete.

A cold wind blew into Lin Ye's coat collar, ruffling the wisps of hair on his forehead, but he seemed completely oblivious to the cold, his hands in his pockets, his shoulders slightly slumped back, his posture languid.

Wang Musheng then showed some excitement and turned to look at Lin Ye:

"President Lin, that was a brilliant move! Xingcheng Precision is about to take off!"
