Since its establishment, Nutrien has been selling equipment to Huaxia at a markup of over 40%.

Back in 2020, the equipment worth over 300 million yuan sold to a certain province was marked up as much as 80%. Xu Yun still wonders if there was some special deal involved...

That's why they say biochemicals, environmental materials, and others are the four great pitfalls, but only insiders know they're actually the fields filled with the most hardships.

In any case.

What we can do now is to quietly keep these accounts, and repay them slowly in the future.

Just like the shield tunneling machine, once we developed it to a world-class level, those foreign businesses that bullied us back then—look what's become of them?

Back in 2018, for the preparation of the East X Olympics, Neon had to import special shield tunneling machines from Rabbit.

Then the Jinghua model was unveiled in 2020.

The shield tunneling company that once overcharged us tenfold saw its sales plummet by 78% within a year—not because of some economic downturn, but because Rabbits took over the market...

By early last year, the company couldn't hold on any longer and had to reluctantly shift to developing condoms...

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yun sadly added two lamb kidneys to his takeout order...

Therefore, in the face of short-term losses, Xu Yun expresses confidence in weathering through.

Once his company's products hit the market, he has plenty of ways to recoup from those foreign businesses.

After that, Qian Guanglin led everyone to the entrance of the production workshop, where a red ribbon was already hung at the large doors.

Since there was no media present, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was relatively relaxed:

The executive shareholders had played a game before departure, using dice to decide who would do the ribbon-cutting.

The rule was to roll three dice, and the person with the highest total would cut the ribbon, which meant non-luckers step aside, and the Emperor of Europe goes first.

The final scores were Xu Yun 3 points, Tian Liangwei 4 points, Zheng Zu 11 points, and Gu Qunqing 17 points.

So naturally, the ribbon-cutting fell to Gu Qunqing.

Gu Qunqing gracefully accepted the scissors from Qian Guanglin and swiftly cut the ribbon into two parts, just like an old eunuch neatly cutting through several books.

After the ribbon-cutting.

Qian Guanglin walked to the door and entered the workshop password.

A moment later.

Swoosh—

The doors opened.

As soon as Xu Yun and the others entered the workshop, a group of neatly dressed workers appeared in front of them.

Seeing Xu Yun and the others enter, the workers instantly greeted them in various local dialects, saying:

"Hello, Boss!"

Seeing this, Qian Guanglin took the initiative to step forward and point at the workers, saying:

"Dear leaders, these are our factory's production workers, twenty-one in total."

"Eldest is Sister Huang, 51, youngest is Xiaofang, 24, with an average age of 33."

"Each of them has experience in chemical production; a few even worked at Novartis, and they are very experienced."

The mentioned Novartis is the former owner of this factory, a foreign enterprise that produced Voltaren and has since relocated from Lu Prefecture.

Looking at the neatly dressed workers, Tian Lianwei patted Xu Yun's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Xiaoxu, you're the company's founder; the task of giving out red envelopes is yours."

Xu Yun nodded slightly, not minding Tian Liangwei's suggestion, took a large step forward, and addressed the workers:

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Yun, Chairman of Huadun Biotech. Next to me is our General Manager, Gu Qunqing."

"Today is the day our plant starts operations, marking the official path to formality for our company."

"Our company is just starting up, and various aspects are still in the run-in period, so I ask for your efforts in the product domain."

"Of course, our company relies on Ke Da, so corresponding benefits and rewards will certainly be ensured. Rest assured about this."

"Given the nature of our factory's operations, I can't promise there won't be overtime, but at least I can assure one thing."

"If there is overtime work, then overtime pay will be ensured; we will not let you work for free!"

Upon hearing Xu Yun's final statement, the workers spontaneously applauded.

As migrant workers from the township, their main concern isn't hardship but their welfare protection.

As long as wages are paid on time and overtime pay is fully settled,

they will naturally approach their work with their best state.

Then Xu Yun took a bag from Gu Qunqing and handed out a starting bonus to each worker.

The amount of the red envelope was 188—though not much compared to their wages, it symbolizes good fortune.

After completing these tasks.

The workers each took their positions, and under Qian Guanglin's lead, Xu Yun and his team moved near the equipment platform.

First, Qian Guanglin inspected the power supply, then pointed to the equipment platform and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we use the YGP type mainframe for main control, also known as the piano control panel."

"It connects the vacuum vessel and supporting liquid units into a complete system, enabling production operation, interlocking protection, and automatic control."

"The chips are domestically produced, and the interface and voice prompts are entirely in Chinese, which is very convenient."

Xu Yun stepped forward to examine the control panel, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Director Qian, is this equipment ready to run?"

Qian Guanglin patted his chest and, with a smile, replied:

"Of course, the electrical control box, hydraulic pumps, vacuum pump, and these devices have passed safety checks, and materials have been added to the input port."

"You just need to enter the control command to start the elliptical gear flow meter and the turbine flow meter, and then enter the weight control signal to activate the PANTHER weighing display controller, and the whole production line can be officially launched."

Xu Yun glanced at Tian Liangwei and the others before continuing:

"In that case... Director Qian, start it up."

This time, Qian Guanglin didn't speak; instead, he turned serious, nodding to everyone.

Then he walked to the control panel and expertly entered the command.

Soon.

The liquid material piped from the storage tank by the liquid material pump reached the material platform through the pipeline, entered the vessel after passing through the pneumatic butterfly valve, flow meter, and pot bottom valve.

When the green light, indicating the completion of this step, lit up, Qian Guanglin pressed another white button engraved with Q1.

Soon.

The liquid material pump started, the pneumatic butterfly valve opened, and the liquid material began entering.

When the liquid material flowed through the flow meter,

the flow meter sent real-time flow electric signals to the AI662H flow totalizer control instrument, which calculated the instantaneous flow signal into total flow and displayed it.

When the cumulative flow reached the set value,

the AI662H sent control signals to the control system, automatically stopping the liquid material pump and closing the pneumatic butterfly valve, completing liquid material entry.

By then.

The process officially entered the cyclization phase.

In experimental work, to achieve CH3 cyclization, Xu Yun's approach was to use the ethylene oxide end alkyne and 1-bromo-2-pentyl acetylene coupling in a hydrogen reduction reaction for the entire process, which took several hours.

However, in industrial production, the steps were simplified.

With the assistance of FOERDA-T632, the nucleophilic reagent began attacking carbon-1, forming isopropanol anions, and after subsequent cooling, the cyclization phase completed.

Thus, in just half an hour, cyclization was completed.

Meanwhile.

The workers on the other production line also began their respective tasks.

Their task was quite simple:

Start the stirrer, add CME and boric acid manually, mix until uniform, then stop and set aside.

This step aimed to dehydrate cockroaches in the field, making them automatically run toward the drain pipes and preventing indoor cockroaches from clustering. (Hey guys, besides CME, does anyone have recommendations for neural blockers? The cost of CME seems a bit high?)

Another twenty minutes passed.

Qian Guanglin operated to add sodium solution to the vacuum vessel, then sucked in glycerin gel as a pre-dispersant.

Lastly, he added bitterant—to prevent humans and pets from accidentally consuming Imidacloprid, averting accidents.

With the bitterant present, unless someone bought three or four Imidacloprid tubes and devoured them desperately, there wouldn't be any life-threatening incidents.

What, you ask why three or four?

Because five won't work either....

After completing these steps.

Qian Guanglin took a deep breath, hands leaving the keyboard, and production entered the foolproof mode.

Over an hour passed.

At the front-end exit.

A roughly five centimeter-long gel appeared.

Xu Yun walked to the conveyor belt's exit, gently picking up the gel.

The gel, entirely blue and weighing 8 grams, brandished an explicit name:

A Cockroach Bane.

The K50 is here, bought at 2799 with a 12+259 deal. While it hasn't crashed the background, freshly arrived, it's quite smooth, but the signal is extremely poor, and the video decoding has some issues.....
