As long as he could get the patent, not to mention spending a large amount of patent fees, even if he did not earn money for a few years, Yu Suisheng would agree.
Sheng Huaixuan was willing to help him because of their past friendship. Yu Suisheng hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you for your help, Lord Sheng.”
Sheng Huaixuan was not only doing this to help him. Bai Wutong already had plans to promote the development of the car industry.
After Bai Wutong found out, she did not think about it for long. She said, “Car manufacturing requires precise parts and the most advanced technology. Our country lacks such talents. If we let them establish a private car workshop, even if they have the technology, it will take them some time to figure out the technology. The research inst.i.tute has already created better cars. If they want to gain a foothold in the market, they have to constantly improve their products and nurture talents. This is beneficial for our country.”
After understanding what Bai Wutong meant, Sheng Huaixuan immediately screened the applicants for car patents and asked them to partic.i.p.ate in the patent bid.
Yu Suisheng’s good reputation, strong capability, and his confidence in the future of the private car industry quickly stood out from the many candidates.
The candidates were disappointed, but they could not bear to let go of this business opportunity.
If the Imperial Court did not set their eyes on them, they could find a skilled craftsman to imitate the technology and study them further.
For a moment, all the blacksmiths in Carefree City were placed upon high hopes. They all wanted to become the next Zhao Yuan and all the businessmen were fighting over the blacksmiths.
Although Yu Suisheng had a patent, he could not understand it!
The workers under him could not understand either.
The people from the research inst.i.tute were all elites and had countless projects under their control. Moreover, they were too busy to design car a.s.sembly lines themselves, let alone help Yu Suisheng.
In other words, what Yu Suisheng had painstakingly fought for was only a patent blueprint.
With the blueprint, he had to find someone who could understand it first and lead these people to build the car workshop.
Yu Suisheng thought about it and went straight to Qinghe University to meet Yang Quanzi. He explained his intentions and wanted Yang Quanzi to recommend a few intelligent disciples.
With Yang Quanzi’s introduction, Yu Suisheng took in a few young people to study the blueprint.
He was hopeful that if they could understand the blueprint, the car would be ready for production soon.
Unexpectedly, none of the craftsmen could reach the required standard even though they could barely understand the blueprint.
If they wanted to successfully make various parts of the car, they still needed to undergo a lot of basic technical training.
The construction of a private car workshop was put on hold again.
However, Yu Suisheng also understood that it could not be rushed.
If the technology was learnt so easily, he would vomit to death after spending nearly half his a.s.sets bidding for the patent.
In any case, there would always be results from persevering.
They were afraid that by the time they could produce cars, such cars would be outdated.
Yu Suisheng also specially established a private research laboratory. While developing cars, he wanted to improve its technology.
The shipbuilding technology of the Carefree Kingdom had already reached the peak of history.
Countless fishing boats that went out to sea would bring back a large amount of seafood every time they went out to sea to supply to the market of Carefree City. They would also make all kinds of canned goods, dry goods, and processed goods and sell them all over Carefree City.
There was a big fishing boat that was supposed to return on time that day, but it did not return even in the evening.
Everyone quickly realized that something was wrong and sent out ships to search and reported it to Bai Wutong.
The fishing boat’s fishing location and route had been repeatedly searched along the way, but they could not find it.
Perhaps it had hit a reef and sank.
The relatives of the crew were in a panic. They could only beg the heavens that they were still alive and floating somewhere in the sea, waiting for the rescue ship to be found..
