Chapter 49: Devil's Fungus

  Your legendary journey takes off.

  After both parties agreed on the framework of cooperation, the details were discussed by Duan Bingyi representing MaKa Technology and Haigang Special Smelting Works. They only need to wait for the completion of the Diamond Building to provide a large amount of superalloy before they can start formal cooperation.

  For Duan Yue, with his father taking care of these daily chores, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders had been greatly reduced, and his head didn't have to be enlarged by all sorts of things.

  Although he was new to business management, Duan Bingyi, as the former county magistrate's chief steward, adapted to the daily operation and management of MaKa Company in the shortest time possible and gradually entered the role. Of course, apart from his ability, another reason why Duan Bingyi could grasp everything about MaKa Company in such a short period was that the current MaKa Company is a newly established company with a simple personnel structure and few businesses, making it easy to get things sorted out.

  After fully grasping the company, Duan Bingyi discovered that his son was indeed ambitious and had registered several independent subsidiaries, including Makka Metal and Makka Electronics, at the beginning of the company's establishment. Even Makka Biotechnology, which is now emerging in the market, is just an independent subsidiary under the Makka Technology Group. After making a fortune from pollution control equipment on the market, Duan Lei recently registered and established the Makka Technology Group, with a clear direction to scale up and diversify the entire company!

  Seeing his son having such ambition and seemingly possessing the confidence and strength to make the company stronger and bigger, Duan Bingyi only needs to provide a solid backing for his son, allowing him to have no worries and fully devote himself to the company's R&D and strategic thinking.

  Thus, Du Bingyi, who was over 40 years old, under the stimulation of his son, actually regained his second youth, found the passion he had when he started his business in his youth, and adapted to the identity of CEO of Maika Company with the most energetic spirit, leading this small startup company to take its first steps.

  There will always be a day when this small company, which is now unknown, will surprise everyone!

  Makka Metal is negotiating a cooperation agreement with Hai Steel. A large production base near Makka Base is also under construction, and after entering August, the main body of the project has been completed, and it will soon enter the stage of interior and exterior decoration, water and electricity facilities, and equipment installation.

  These days, Gu Yu Liang has even pushed most of the business of Hai Da Jian Gong Group to the deputy general manager for handling, and he has freed up more time to focus on the construction of the new company's factory and the procurement and installation of equipment. After all, compared to the position of chairman of Hai Da Jian Gong, Gu Yu Liang attaches more importance to this new company that has invested all the family's assets. For Gu Yu Liang and the Gu family, if this project fails, the entire family may suffer a devastating blow, and their past glory will not be restored.

  Although there were still many opposing voices in the family, the fate of the entire family has been tied to this huge investment. The Gu family can only place all their hopes on the success of the new project.

  "Stone Uncle, I've invested all my family's assets in this, hoping the market effect of Mirror Metal will be as good as described in the plan!" Having been in contact with Duan Lei for a long time, he could vaguely foresee Duan Lei's brilliant future. Yan Liang was also not putting on airs.

  "Heh heh, as for how well the market accepts mirror-finish metals, I'm sure Uncle Gu knows better than me?" Looking at Gu Yuliang's frustrated expression in front of him, Duan Lei secretly smiled to himself.

  Before the new workshop of Xinxin Metal, named by Gu Yu Liang, was built, Gu Yu Liang had already taken samples and test reports of mirror-finish metal to major real estate companies and construction companies to test the waters. With the high performance of mirror-finish metal and his extensive network resources, he has obtained a number of intended orders.

  As Gu YuLiang's partner, Duan Wei is well aware of many of Gu YuLiang's actions and has no opinion on them. Duan Wei understands that someone like Gu YuLiang, a cunning old fox who doesn't shoot without seeing the rabbit, would dare to invest all his assets in XinXin Metal because he has already seen the market prospects for this new type of building material.

  "Although there are some intended orders, the future of Xinxin Metal depends on how much raw materials Makah Company can provide!" Gu Yu Liang naturally knew that the raw materials and technology of mirror metal were all in the hands of Makah Company. Duan Lei could be called the god of wealth for the Gu family.

  Gu Yu Liang also tried to probe Duan Cui, to see if he could get the production technology of mirror metal from Duan Cui's hands. That was the key for Gu's family to rise quickly; however, Gu Yu Liang was a pragmatic person, after realizing that Duan Cui would not transfer the technology, he naturally positioned Xin Xing Metal as a downstream processor of Ma Ka Metal, and it was enough to make a profit of one cent.

  "This is not a big problem, as long as the Diamond Building can be completed on time, my production will start immediately and meet the production needs of the new workshop!" Duan Lei nodded and said: "The production plan and technology for mirror metal are already ready, just waiting for the completion of the Diamond Building!"

  "I heard you're going to collaborate with Haigang again, will the material supply from both sides be sufficient at that time?" The negotiation between Makka Company and Haigang couldn't escape the attention of someone like Gu Yuliang, who was now only worried about Makka Company's production capacity.

  In Gu Yuliang's view, the production base of various special alloys of Makah Company has not yet been established, and it is impossible to supply the metal raw materials needed by the two companies. For his own family interests, Gu Yuliang naturally hopes to get priority supply from Makah Company through his good relationship with Duan Yue, resume normal production as soon as possible, and obtain profits.

  "Uncle Gu, don't worry!" Duan Lei clearly understood Gu Yu Liang's concerns and comforted him with a smile: "The cooperation with Hai Gang has just started, it will take some time to start producing alloy steel. Besides, superalloy and mirror metal are two completely different metal materials, their production won't conflict with each other, there won't be any impact."

  ……”

  Through Duan Lei's explanation, Gu Yu Liang finally put down the heart that had been hanging in suspense, but in his heart, he was still tight with a string, secretly planning to send someone to keep an eye on the raw material supply after the factory started production, which is the key to whether Xin Xing Metal can succeed or not!

  For Duan Yue, whether it's the new Xinxin Metal or Hai Steel cooperation project, it's just a small start and won't put too much pressure on him. Because according to Dingding's words, as long as the Diamond Building is built, she can help Duan Yue cultivate a very magical plant, expanding the space under the Diamond Building countless times to become a secret base for Maka Company's rapid development. At that time, whether it's mirror metal, superalloy raw material production or biological computer manufacturing, they can all avoid the eyes and ears of countless people with ulterior motives, maximizing the guarantee of Maka Company's secrecy!

  During this period, Duan Yue spent a considerable amount of time in the simple laboratory, conducting various experiments on certain plants according to the formula provided by Dingdang, all for the purpose of renovating the underground space of Diamond Building as soon as it was completed!

  "Really? Can these fungi plants really achieve the kind of magical effect you're talking about?" Duan Lei looked at the petri dish with a hint of doubt, where a cluster of fungi was constantly squirming.

  Although this period of time has utilized the super-strong phagocytic digestive ability of fungi to manufacture tons of superalloys, Dīng Dīng's Macca technology already possesses a relatively good bearing capacity. However, Duàn Lěi still feels that this fungus plant, which can be called "devil fungus" by Dīng Dīng, is too exaggerated and not so reliable.

  The fungi in front just use their phagocytic ability to ingest and merge metals, and then excrete them out of the body. The energy they consume is all provided through various glucose solutions. The amount of metal ingested and excreted does not differ much, which is consistent with the law of conservation of mass that Duan Lei has always accepted!

  In fact, not only "Swallowing the True Reeds" but also including the treatment of pollution, all follow many scientific laws on Earth. Although there are places that exceed the technological level of the earth, they still have a traceable origin.

  However, this time, the true devil's mint cultivated by Dīng Dīng has truly exceeded Duàn Lěi's thinking range, allowing him to finally glimpse some of the magical aspects of the Makka civilization!

  According to Dingdang's explanation, these devilish fungi can engulf everything they come into contact with and convert many substances that seem unable to produce energy into the energy they need through their own special structures. It is a truly magical plant. With this "devil fungus", Duanduan can modify the underground space of the Diamond Tower at will according to design needs, and don't have to worry about the problem of disposing of the excavated soil and stone, because the devil fungus will automatically devour all the construction waste and soil and stone!

  Duan Lei finally understood that the magical foundation of the Makka civilization could not be measured by ordinary earthly logic, and perhaps even if an ordinary earthling racked his brains, he would still be unable to comprehend such a mystical existence.

  For this, Duan Yue had more expectations for the biological computer that was about to be manufactured in the underground space of the Diamond Building! Perhaps at that time it would bring him a great surprise again and also give the development of MaKa Technology a pair of wings!
