Tranxending Vision

Qin Xiang stood in front of the french window in his office, holding a cup of rose flowers in his hands. As he drank his tea, he admired the scenery outside the window. That was actually not a scenery, it was merely the factory area of the Rayma Manufacturing Corp. His gaze shifted to the side of Workshop 1, where there were a few bungalows and Xia Lei's personal workshop was one of them.    

Xia Lei's studio's door was closed, and the thick opaque curtains were drawn on the windows. Outside, they could see the situation inside the studio.    

"That kid has been too tired recently, he doesn't even have the time to take care of his hair once it grows. I want to cut off his hair, but I don't know if it's okay for me to speak to him?"    

At that moment, a Red Flag sedan suddenly drove in from the front door. The photo of the car was a Kyoto license plate.    

Qin Xiang's heart stirred. He then took out his phone and dialed Xia Lei's number, "Lei, someone from the capital has arrived!"    

"Who's here?"    

"I have forgotten the name of the person from the Shenzhou Industrial Group." Qin Xiang said as he looked at the person who had just walked out of the car.    

"I know." Xia Lei's voice came out from the phone.    

"Are you still not leaving the studio?" Qin Xiang said anxiously: "If the people from Shenzhou Industrial Group knew what you are creating, they will definitely be jealous, it won't be a good thing."    

"I'll be right out." Xia Lei hung up the phone and left the studio.    

Leaving the studio, Xia Lei saw the person who was walking towards the office building, Shenzhou Industrial Group's sales director, Zhou Wei.    

Shenzhou Industrial Group was finally unable to hold back and sent his people.    

The reason why the Shenzhou Industrial Group had sent people over at this time must be related to Joseph's [Intelligent Machine Tool].    

Zhou Wei also saw Xia Lei, and greeted him from afar, "Hehe, Manager Xia, long time no see, hello!"    

"Hello, Big Brother Zhou." Xia Lei walked over and shook hands with Zhou Wei, "It's been so long since I've seen you, I miss you a lot."    

It was one thing not to think about it, but it was quite comfortable to hear.    

"Hur hur, there's no need for us to be polite." Zhou Wei laughed and said: "I know you are busy, so I will not waste your time, let me get straight to the point. I came this time to ask for your help. "    

"Let's talk in my office." Xia Lei said.    

Zhou Wei looked at Xia Lei, "Let's talk in your workshop."    

Xia Lei was immediately stunned. With just that one sentence, he knew that Zhou Wei had come prepared. The Shenzhou Industrial Group already knew that he was building an intelligent machine tool.    

Zhou Wei said again, "What? You don't want me to see it? "    

Xia Lei replied: "How could that be, after you." He brought Zhou Wei and headed towards his studio.    

Entering the workshop, Zhou Wei saw the intelligent machine that Xia Lei had made. It had completed about fifteen percent of its progress, and it looked more like the chassis of a large truck than a machine tool. But Zhou Wei was an expert, he could immediately tell what it was.    

"Manager Xia, I have to tell you, you are the person that I, Zhou Wei, admire the most." Zhou Wei's face was full of shock and admiration, "We are also building it, and it is an elite team from our Shenzhou Industrial Group, but I think you will finish building it first."    

Xia Lei probed: "About that ? "How did you know I was building an AI machine?"    

Zhou Wei laughed, "The blueprints were brought back from Germany, you have personally seen this kind of large-scale intelligent machine tool entity. You gave these things to the country, but we guessed that you would make it yourself, and that you would be able to do it. "    

Her words made sense, but Xia Lei understood that the Shenzhou Industrial Group had a military background. It was as easy as drinking water to enlist one or two agents to investigate it. However, he didn't want to point it out, so he pretended not to know.    

"Speak, what is your purpose?" Xia Lei did not want to beat around the bush. Since the Shenzhou Industrial Group already knew and also sent someone, then there must be a reason behind it.    

"Can I take a few pictures?" Zhou Wei replied, "Old Master Mu would like to see."    

Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "What's wrong with that? I can even give you the blueprints, do I need to be afraid of you taking pictures? "Go ahead and take them. Just take whatever you want."    

Zhou Wei took out a digital camera from his briefcase to take pictures of the machine tools from various angles, he did not miss even the materials and processed parts of the studio.    

Ka ka ka, Zhou Wei took dozens of pictures.    

Xia Lei waited for him to finish taking the picture before saying: "You've also taken the picture, speak, what is your goal?"    

"Let's talk in your office." Zhou Wei said.    

"Please." Xia Lei then brought Zhou Wei out of the workshop and towards the office building.    

On the way, Xia Lei kept on thinking about the things in front of his eyes. Needless to say, one of Zhou Wei's goals was to personally see the machine tool he made and take photos to bring back to the Shenzhou Industrial Group.    

This kind of behavior was no different from that of a commercial spy, but the only person who could act so boldly and confidently to ask for secrets was a big boss like the Shenzhou Industrial Group.    

What other purpose could he have but this?    

Xia Lei could not guess.    

Arriving at the office, Liang Siyao found out that Zhou Wei had come, and politely greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, when did you arrive? "Why didn't you notify them? We can make the arrangements." After a pause, she smiled and said, "Please take a seat. I'll make you a cup of tea."    

Xia Lei did not have a secretary.    

Zhou Wei replied politely: "Thank you, Miss Liang. I'll be troubling you."    

Liang Siyao poured a cup of Iron Guanyin for Zhou Wei.    

Zhou Wei got up from the sofa and expressed his thanks.    

Liang Siyao laughed: "Mr Zhou, there is no need to be polite."    

Zhou Wei said: "Miss Liang, about that ? I want to talk to Director Xia alone. You know, I'm an errand runner too, and I have to do what they tell me to do. Please forgive me for offending you. "    

"Nothing, I understand. You guys go ahead and talk, I was just thinking of going to the workshop to take a look." Liang Siyao laughed and left the office.    

Xia Lei frowned slightly, "Brother Zhou, Siyao is my senior sister. I believe in her is the same as believing in myself, you don't need to let her leave."    

Zhou Wei laughed bitterly, "Manager Xia, I was just following the instructions from above, I couldn't do anything either. You should also understand that the nature of this matter is already a state secret, and in the context of an international dispute, it is justifiable for the authorities to treat it with caution. "There are some things that would be bad for her if she found out about it."    

Xia Lei nodded, "Then please speak."    

"Then I'll be frank." Zhou Wei paused, "We failed."    

Xia Lei was slightly taken aback, "How could it be a failure? I brought back everything from Germany, including blueprints for the structure, circuits, and control programs. With your Shenzhou Industrial Group's power, how could you fail? "    

Zhou Wei laughed bitterly, "This is the reason why I said that you would complete it before us. We used the most elite team, we processed all the parts and assembled them, we also implanted the control program you brought back from Germany, but it was not accurate enough and there were a lot of errors. "    

"That's impossible."    

"We came up with the reason for the failure."    

"What is it?"    

"Parts." Zhou Wei said: "We are unable to process the required parts on the blueprint, one part is a little bit off, there are so many parts that are slightly off, if all of them are off, of course it will fail."    

A thousand miles was the difference between the two. If the parts looked exactly the same, even if the accuracy was a millionth of the thread, if one were to accumulate a millionth of the thread, then the creation of an AI machine would fail and that would be the inevitable result.    

As he said till here, Zhou Wei's second goal appeared.    

The Shenzhou Industrial Group had her mind on the intelligent machine tool.    

"Manager Xia." Zhou Wei laughed: "You are a smart person, you should already know my purpose for coming here, right?"    

It was like Xia Lei was holding a mirror in his heart, but he shook his head, "I don't know."    

"Manager Xia, let's go around in circles." Zhou Wei said: "We need a successful intelligent machine tool so that we can process the qualified parts and replicate it in batches. This is a matter of national interest. I think you will help us. "    

Xia Lei laughed, "Brother Zhou, it's better not to put on such a tall hat for me. I took a huge risk in Germany for this machine tool, I was almost killed by the German gangsters. I stole the blueprints and the numerical control program, I gave it to the country, you got it, what else do you want from me? Do you think my contribution isn't big enough? Do you know what I got from my last operation? Free flight and high-speed rail, haha! "    

"Hahaha ?" Zhou Wei also laughed.    

Xia Lei looked at Zhou Wei and laughed, saying in his heart: "Fuck, I don't owe you anything, come and find me when you need me, and you can't even give me a small order when you don't need me. You want to use some great feeling to fool me, to give you machine tools for nothing? "Do you really treat me like a fool?"    

"Yes, yes." Zhou Wei suddenly stopped laughing, and his expression became serious, "Name your price."    

"You really want to buy it?"    

"No kidding." Zhou Wei became more serious, "You know the nature of this matter."    

Xia Lei pondered for a moment, then said indifferently: "Before I offer my price, I want to nag and nag."    

"I'm all ears."    

"This time, after coming back from Germany, you guys got the things you want, the blueprints and the numerical control program. You guys thought you could make it, so you even called me, not to mention expressing your gratitude. I don't really care, but you don't know what I've been through in Germany. If I were found out, I might spend the rest of my life there. Also, in order to close in on the goal of completing the quest, I offended a gang over there. They chased me more than once, and if I was unlucky, I would have died there. I gave so much, I didn't ask the country for any bonus, nor did I ask the country for any official, but in the end, didn't you want to thank me for the profits? "    

Zhou Wei's face was full of shame.    

"Actually, I don't really care whether you thank me or not. That thing can't be eaten or spent. I am also very clear of my identity. A large company like yours simply looks down on me, a small private enterprise. To work with me is a disgrace to all of you. It doesn't matter. But did you know, when I came back from Germany, my small company was surrounded by Ning Yuanshan and it was even difficult to run it? You guys didn't even give me a normal order, and made me produce a shopping cart and a selfie. Isn't that a bit too disheartening? "    

"Manager Xia ?" Zhou Wei wanted to explain, but even he himself felt embarrassed.    

Xia Lei said, "You guys want to buy my machine tool. I know, this is probably our last collaboration. With this kind of machine tool, you can produce the parts you need and then mass produce it. You don't need me anymore. Am I right? "    

"Cough, cough ?" Zhou Wei said awkwardly: "Manager Xia, actually you are thinking too much. We were just too busy, we didn't consider your feelings, and were unable to help you. I promise, there will be many opportunities for us to work together in the future."    

"I don't want a guarantee. I know exactly who I deal with. Now, I'd like to ask, what if I don't sell it? " Xia Lei looked straight at Zhou Wei.    

Zhou Wei laughed bitterly, "You must sell it, I still have to say, you know the nature of this matter." Pausing for a moment, he then said, "Therefore, please state your price."    

Xia Lei laughed, "With your words, I can finally relax and offer a price. How about this, I'll get some good fortune, eight million and eight hundred thousand."
