The congratulations of the hundreds of officials of the Xinghua Empire were endless, and almost all of them had to break through the threshold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the boom passes, this is first of all a matter that belongs to the young couple, and Yi Xingchen naturally cares more than the ministers. Therefore, after Liu Yiyi was discharged from the hospital, during the three days when he returned to the villa to recuperate, Yi Xingchen deliberately put down state affairs and quietly accompanied Liu Yiyi.

Originally, Yi Xingchen still wanted to accompany Liu Yiyi more, but Liu Yiyi felt impatient, and was afraid of delaying Yi Xingchen to deal with business, so he persuaded him many times: "Husband, you better go and get busy, I'm fine." ”

"I want to be with you. Yi Xingchen was stunned by the words, a little funny, and said helplessly.

"But you're always by my side," Liu Yiyi blinked, gave Yi Xingchen a playful expression, and then said to Yi Xingchen in a half-coquettish and half-complaining tone, "I can't do a lot of things." ”

Seeing Liu Yiyi's playful expression, Yi Xingchen couldn't help laughing, seeing Liu Yiyi's resolute attitude, Yi Xingchen also began to hesitate a little, but he really said that he didn't care about it at all, and he couldn't let go.

"Okay, it's okay, so let's do it, if there is really something that can't be solved, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible. Liu Yiyi saw Yi Xingchen's hesitant look, and in order to persuade Yi Xingchen, she simply said this.

Liu Yiyi has issued an expulsion order, what else can Yi Xingchen do? He had to smile helplessly, he could be regarded as obeying his wife's orders.

"That's it! Pregnancy is just a trivial matter, and it can't be so grand. Men should be busy with national affairs, not at home. Liu Yiyi said, and got up and went back to the room.

Looking at the back of his wife going upstairs, Yi Xingchen smiled slightly. Madame is so understanding, what more can the so-called husband ask for.

Since this was the case, Yi Xingchen didn't waste any more time, and immediately returned to his study.

Yi Xingchen first picked up a document placed in the right position on the table, which was the planning book for the bidding conference for the suspension car shell.

And this proposal was written by a company hired by the Xinghua think tank in Rénia, and after careful communication with all the requirements of the Xinghua Empire. In fact, most of the planning documents of this kind of bidding conference are formal, and the content in them is mostly the arrangement of procedures and security, mainly to standardize the development of the bidding conference.

Yi Xingchen took a general look and didn't find anything inappropriate, so he stamped his seal to confirm it.

Yi Xingchen has already decided to hand over this matter to Yan En for arrangement, and he will not interfere again. Of course, the Xinghua Think Tank and the Xinghua Island Intelligence Bureau will monitor the entire conference and collect all the information. Therefore, Yi Xingchen can retreat into the background.

After getting Yi Xingchen's confirmation, the bidding plan took effect, and all the preparatory matters began to be carried out in accordance with the specifications of the bidding plan.

Three days later, Yan En brought five bids and handed them to Yi Xingchen, and what Yi Xingchen needed to do was to pick out the party that could finally cooperate with the Xinghua Empire from these five most competitive bids.

Of the five tenders, three were from companies in the European region, including Michel Seal, Deutsche First Automobile, and Red Star, while the remaining two were from American General Motors and the other from Huaguo.

Yi Xingchen picked up the five bids and looked at them one by one, while Yan En stood quietly aside to accompany him, and added other information about the country represented by the five bids to Yi Xingchen in a timely manner.

After Yi Xingchen flipped through it for a while, he roughly found that although the terms of these five bids were somewhat different, they all had a common feature - the total cost of the plans provided by these five bids was very high.

This made Yi Xingchen feel very strange, and he asked Yan En, why are the five bids selected quite high?

"The materials provided by these five companies are all extremely hard and high-grade materials. The total cost of a car shell and the budget are more than one million euros. Yan En explained.

"Is it because of the cost of materials, will it be so expensive?" Yi Xingchen asked.

Yan En thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Materials are scarce, and they are all their own unique secret recipes. ”

Yi Xingchen thought about it, but he was also relieved.

In fact, it's no wonder that if he puts the price of the artificial energy spar so high, there will be no shortage of them in the Blue Mercury market, after all, scarcity is expensive. What's more, it would be normal for these five countries to adopt some special unseen and irreplaceable materials for the Xinghua Empire's reference in order to win the opportunity to cooperate with the Xinghua Empire.

It's just that understanding is understanding, if the business has to do this, wouldn't the Xinghua Empire lose a lot?

After thinking about it, Yi Xingchen asked, "Among them, has any country expressed its willingness to reduce prices?"

"Some companies have expressed their willingness to reduce prices, but they have attached conditions to this, which is that they want to participate in the production process of hovering cars. Yan En said with a frown. In fact, to be honest, he didn't know what His Majesty would think about, but he personally didn't want His Majesty to accept this condition in the end. It's just that it's not Yan En's duty to make a decision, and when he heard Yi Xingchen's question, all he should do was tell the truth.

Fortunately, Yi Xingchen's thoughts coincided with him.

"The core and critical production parts of the hovering car, no matter how good the trading conditions they offer, we can't divulge it to them. They want to participate, firstly, depending on whether the conditions they offer are generous enough, and secondly, even if they do, they can only participate in the assembly of the hovering car. You can tell them that. If they are not willing to cooperate, we can try to ask them for the shell of the car...... Anyway, as long as we buy the shell, even if the price is higher, we don't have to worry, and the suspension car will not be sold after it is assembled. ”

Yi Xingchen then looked through the five bids again, and he had a bottom in his heart. In fact, the worst material in this is Huaguo Flag Company, which can only be said to be unsatisfactory. If the hovercar is made of materials from Huaguo Banner Company, the appearance will look a little bloated. The best material is the American company, which has high hardness, but the shape is simple enough to best meet the requirements of Yi Xingchen. It's just that Huaguo has always been an ally of Xinghua Island, and if Yi Xingchen chooses Huaguo as a partner, this bidding for suspension cars and the next transaction will definitely be the smoothest.

Also, Yi Xingchen has another consideration that affects his decision. Of the five bids, Yi Xingchen was most reluctant to use materials from American General Motors. Because there is an irreconcilable contradiction of interests between the United States of America and Xinghua Island, the secret struggle in private is very fierce. Therefore, Yi Xingchen can almost ignore the bid of the United States.

The rest are the bids of the remaining three.

Yi Xingchen thought for a while and said to Yan En: "Call the representative of Huaguo Flag Company and ask them to come up with better materials and make another bid, otherwise, we can only give up." ”

"Your Majesty, do they have any better materials?" Although Yan En understood the meaning of Yi Xingchen's words, the friendship between the Xinghua Empire and the Hua Kingdom had always been placed here, and it couldn't be more obvious. It's just that Yan En is curious if Huaguo can provide better materials than this. How to say, the matter of this bidding has also been spread all over Blue Mercury, and almost all countries that can bid can be said to provide their most competitive plans, and it stands to reason that the plans provided by Huaguo are the same?

"As a big country, it is impossible for them not to have several super-strong alloy materials. Otherwise, how did their aerospace industry develop?" Yi Xingchen said this, the displeasure on his face was also obvious, in fact, he thought that Huaguo did not do his best in this bidding competition, although Yi Xingchen did not know the reason, but it also made him a little dissatisfied.

"Directly reject American companies, we can't use their products. Yi Xingchen continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Yan En nodded.

There is a serious hostile relationship between the United States of America and Xinghua Island, and perhaps the United States General Corporation should be treated separately from the American government. However, Yi Xingchen didn't want to leave hidden dangers, and it was impossible to cooperate with the other party. Of course, Yi Xingchen will not blame Yan En, the reason why Yan En put the United States in the list is because he is not a decision-maker, and the alloy materials given by the American company are really good. Moreover, in terms of diplomatic relations on the surface, the two countries are relatively friendly countries.

"The other three companies, tell them, they passed the primary. However, we need to test further. If they are willing to provide samples, whether we adopt their products or not, whether we become collaborators or not, we will give them a small order for shells to assemble the suspension car. These hovercars with their own shells, we will give them the final sales pricing power, and they can sell them themselves, so that they don't lose money. Yi Xingchen replied. Yi Xingchen needs them to submit samples, and the alchemists of the empire can try to conduct research and analysis, test the properties of materials, explore more possibilities, and improve alchemy techniques.

Although Yan En didn't understand some of Yi Xingchen's decisions, his advantage was that he would carry out Yi Xing's orders to the letter.

Soon, Yan En replied to Yi Xingchen's decision to the five companies. Different responses lead to different results.

Huaguo Flag's reply was that it would take time to think about it, and they did have better materials. However, it takes a higher level of people to make a decision.

The other three companies are very happy to send samples. In addition, they said they wanted to participate in the testing process so that they could understand the defects of their products. Yi Xingchen agreed to this point in his subsequent reply.

As for the American General Corporation, there was a strong protest. In this regard, Yan En took a way of ignoring it. After all, this is a business practice, and if the government of the United States wants to intervene, it also needs to consider the ideas of the countries behind the rest of the companies. There are also traditional allies of the United States, which cannot be bullied arbitrarily.

Therefore, the American General Corporation, that is, the noise is silent.

If the American General Company still has any private tricks, Yi Xingchen is not afraid.

After another month, the four companies came to Xinghua Island with their own samples.

In order to show fairness, Yi Xingchen specially transferred an alchemy team from the Alchemy Research Institute of the Xinghua Empire in another world to manually assemble the hovering car for testing. The suspension car used for testing is only a sample vehicle with a suspension function and a thruster, without any beautification and without considering the user's feelings, and is specially used for various tests.

In the name of Xinghua Group, Yan En said Yi Xingchen's meaning. None of the four companies refused, and they were all happy to do so. However, one of the more unexpected things is that Su Guo wants to visit the assembly site of Xinghua Group. Yan En directly rejected Su Guo's request, he knew the emperor's bottom line, and he would not appear in front of the Blue Mercury people without trained Xinghua citizens. Those alchemists, who have not undergone any training, are rookies. At the same time, the alchemist's professional skills must not be exposed.

Xinghua Group's refusal, Su Guo Hongxing Company has no opinion. It can be seen that Su Guohongxing Company had expected that this was just a temptation.

In the sea area around the main island of Xinghua Island Government, an offshore platform was built with steel bars, and a very modern assembly workshop was built on the offshore platform. This assembly workshop, with its outer shell made of glass, sparkles in the sunlight and is very beautiful.

Samples of car shells from four companies in Shikoku were sent to the assembly hall one by one. The entire offshore platform is forbidden for outsiders to land.

In the assembly workshop of the offshore platform, Chekov, as well as two first-class alchemists, ten alchemy apprentices and other assistants, have long been on standby.

Yi Xingchen personally watched the assembly process of four simple suspension vehicles......

After about five hours, the four hovercars were assembled.

Yi Xingchen sent four palace guards to drive the four hovercars out of the workshop.

The Xinghua Island government has set aside a temporary testing site. Four palace guards were to drive the hovering car to a stop on the makeshift test site.

The four hovercars drove out, and Yi Xingchen heard a burst of cheers and smiled slightly.

This test is a public test. In addition to the live broadcast on Xinghua Island TV, there are also many tourists on Xinghua Island, who consciously act as spectators and are bound to witness the birth of miracles.

"The test content of this time mainly includes crash, rotation, rollover, fire resistance, cold resistance and other tests...... The purpose of the test is to protect the safety of the driver and passengers. ”

On the side of Xinghua Group, the person who presided over the test was not Yan En, but a host of Xinghua Island TV named Wu Xinghai.

Wu Xinghai said excitedly: "Let us welcome four hovering vehicles, including Huaguo Banner, Su Guo Red Star, German First Automobile, and Miqi Land Leopard, into the test area. (To be continued.) )
