Chapter 73 (1/2)

Mysterious Client

Though he no He Lao-Qi’s address and details about his family, Xia Lei still did not have a way to deal with him He couldn’t enter his home and finish hied son, could he? He was not an evil person and could never do so into He Lao-Qi’s ho like that but Qin Xiang had said that He Lao-Qi never did the dirty work hih was his chance of stealing so that could be used as evidence of He Lao-Qi’s misdeeds?

However, this was not a total waste He had becoain He was on the first step to being able to deal with He Lao-Qi

He sat for a while in the private room, then paid the bill and left Ju Shan Garden Teahouse, driving back to Thunder Horse Workshop

As he alighted fro with Ma Xiao-An about so He observed them both - they were dressed in suits, carried briefcases and looked ht ‘Who are they? What did they come to the workshop for?’

Ma Xiao-An saw Xia Lei and greeted him, “Lei… Boss Lei, someone wants to talk business with you” He then turned to the two suited men and said, “That’s our workshop’s boss, Xia Lei You can talk to him Heh heh, I’m not the one who makes the decisions”

So it o unknown clients Xia Lei welco-Qiu, the business at Thunder Horse Workshop had been slow, just earning enough to keep itself afloat and not , of course

Once the two suited men heard that Xia Lei was the boss of Thunder Horse Workshop, they greeted him with smiles on their faces and niceties on their lips

“I a Xin” The suited Zhou Wei s-Du”

Xia Lei recognised neither Jiang Xin nor Zhou Wei; he had ever seen them before nor heard anyoneof the China Industrial Group Zhou Wei spoke of Xia Lei found it strange ‘It’s normal if someone froet parts processed and -Du is so far away I haven’t come into contact or interacted with a China Industrial Group either How did they find uess what Xia Lei was thinking and said, “It’s like this, Mr Xia We are here this ti clarified”

Not for business? Xia Lei was a little disappointed but he did not show it as he responded, “What is it that you want clarified?”

Jiang Xin opened his briefcase and took out a rapped cloth bag He then opened the cloth bag and revealed a processed part

Xia Lei froze as soon as he saw the part This part was the high precision part he had processed for East Wind Heavy Industries back then, earning him the first million in his life He re that bit of business; naturally he’d reh precision part he had personally processed

“Do you re Xin politely

Xia Lei nodded, “Of course I remember This was a part I processed for East Wind Heavy Industries But what is it doing in your hands?”

Zhou Wei answered, “This is e are here The batch of parts you processed was an order we had placed with East Wind Heavy Industries They are very ih precision part processing is currently iy block by Europe and America You, however, have done it Ihed, “You didn’t co-Du to praiseXin spoke, “You jest, Mr Xia We have co you so about”

“You want me to process another part and prove it to you?” said Xia Lei

“That is correct I can guarantee, however, that if you can prove that you can indeed process high precision parts like this, you will have no lack for orders in the future,” said Jiang Xin

Xia Lei was already excited about the prospect but he kept his poker-face, “Can I ask a question before I begin?”

“Please ask,” said Zhou Wei politely

“I processed that batch of parts for East Wind Heavy Industries but they would never speak of this matter to anyone, so how did you know that it was I who’d processed thehed, “It’s simple There is no local equip that East Wind Heavy Industries would be unable to do it but they handed in the goods on time We, of course, would want to find out hoas done After we received the parts from East Wind Heavy Industries, we asked the relevant departate either since many people in East Wind Heavy Industries knew about it The investigation led us here, and Yes, here we are”

Xia Lei had the answers to his questions It seemed fishy on the surface but Zhou Wei’s explanations fit andfrom East Wind Heavy Industries had said that the parts were very important and even paid him one million The people in China Industrial Group also had no expectation that the important parts would be processed so when East Wind Heavy Industries delivered the goods, wouldn’t they naturally be curious and investigate? Representatives froation was not so strange after all

“Please show us your work Xin

Xia Lei nodded, “Of course I don’t have h I can only process with normal materials”

“You don’t have to use your ht appropriate materials for you” Zhou Wei opened his briefcase and took out a cloth bag which he handed to Xia Lei

There was a piece of metal alloy, the sa parts at East Wind Heavy Industries Xia Lei took the metal alloy and walked towards a CNC lathe He first processed blanks, then adjusted the settings to manual and used his left eye to zoom-in and cut it bit by bit to the required accuracy The whole process, from the time he started the , took half an hour

Xia Lei put the part he had processed in Zhou Wei’s hands “You can inspect it”

Zhou Wei looked at the part Xia Lei had processed and said praisingly, “You didn’t even need drawings or para”

Jiang Xin, on the other hand, took out some inspection tool and took the part fro Xin had was very advanced - it looked like an infrared scanner He put it facing the part and it did a scan, then data of the various number values of the part came out Xia Lei had never seen such an inspection tool, even at East Wind Heavy Industries
