What should I call it...

Ye Qing racked his brains, thinking that calling it an "executive chair" wouldn't work; it sounded too old-fashioned and wouldn't highlight the chair's features.

Currently, ergonomic chairs are popular. Should this one be called a "mechanical ergonomic chair"?

Ye Qing thought it was feasible. The main selling point of this chair is its complex mechanical movement, and naming it this way would also make it seem more low-key.

With this in mind, Ye Qing immediately ran to the office and used his computer to order the specialized memory foam and finished leather needed to make the chair from the internet.

If the product is to be launched, the design of the mechanical arms also needs to be optimized. They can't be made exactly like mechanical hands. The sides need to be symmetrical, the base needs to be sturdy and aesthetically pleasing, and the mechanical arms should be a bit shorter.

These designs can be easily modified, and the skilled hands of the craftsmen can make the chair look very beautiful without any problem.

The next morning, Ye Qing went to the metal market to order a batch of alloy materials for making the chair.

Using stainless steel would be too heavy and wasteful, and its high toughness makes it difficult to process. For just carrying a person, significant cuts can be made in the materials and power system, using lightweight aluminum alloy instead.

He also needed to register a patent.

In the afternoon, his uncle and Xu Xiaohu were coming over. Hearing that Xu Xiaohu had been admitted to Zhongyun University, Ye Qing, as his cousin, couldn't help but show some appreciation.

It was still early, so he bought a Shenzhou laptop as a gift and took the opportunity to visit the old factory.

When the minivan arrived at the old factory in the industrial park, Ye Qing almost thought he had taken a wrong turn.

More than ten container trucks were parked at the factory gate, and the drivers were divided into two groups, sitting on the ground, idly playing "Landlord."

Most of the containers on these trucks were printed with advertisements, such as "Yongyuan Electric Vehicles," "Jiliang Electric Vehicle Specialty Store," "Modern Car Shop," etc.

Inside the factory, it was even busier, like a bustling market. The large machine tools that were originally there had been moved to the corners. In the workshop, over thirty workers were each assembling an electric vehicle frame, working non-stop.

Father Ye Jiangning was surrounded by seven or eight people in a corner. From a distance, Ye Qing could hear them saying, "I came from out of town. If I don't get the goods today, it will affect my business."

"Mr. Ye, your efficiency is not good. Large electric vehicle companies have assembly lines."

"I don't care. If I don't get the vehicles, I won't leave. Those young guys are like hounding me. You have to provide lunch for us at noon."

Ye Jiangning was being pushed to the limit by the urgent orders and didn't even notice Ye Qing.

Ye Qing went to observe the workers. Having seen the terrifying efficiency of the monsters, the speed of these workers seemed to be as slow as snails.

Moreover, there were many flaws in the production process, such as non-standard operations.

Ye Qing returned to the minivan, used a small amount of honor points to buy a set of work clothes, and recruited another Master Craftsman.

The Master Craftsman's intelligence was high enough, as evidenced by his actions at Owen Electric Vehicle Company. Directing the workers and training them in mechanical processing knowledge was no problem for him.

When Ye Qing brought the Master Craftsman back into the workshop, the crowd's attention was drawn to him.

The Master Craftsman was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, slightly hunched, and looked like he had just crawled out of a mountain hollow. Any man could find confidence in comparison to him.

Ye Jiangning greeted Ye Qing through the crowd and then squeezed out, sweating profusely.

"Hello!" Ye Jiangning thought this person was Ye Qing's friend and enthusiastically extended his right hand.

"Hello, hello~" The Master Craftsman flatteringly extended both hands.

"He's called Qiao Qi, and his skills in mechanical processing are very high," Ye Qing patted the Master Craftsman's shoulder and introduced him. "Let him manage these workers for two months, and he will definitely improve their processing efficiency significantly."

With Ye Qing's introduction, what more could be said?

Even if he were blind, Ye Jiangning would unconditionally accept him.

Ye Jiangning cleared his throat, called the workers over, and briefly introduced Qiao Qi, promoting him to workshop supervisor.

These workers were all burly men, and Qiao Qi's short stature and malnourished appearance made them cover their mouths and giggle.

"Alright, everyone, thank you for your hard work. Get back to work quickly," Ye Jiangning said.

"This can't go on," Ye Jiangning pulled Ye Qing aside and said, "It's not a ghost, but today even more dealers called to order electric vehicles from all over the country. The orders are already scheduled for a month from now."

"Then quickly upgrade the factory, expand the scale, and add equipment."

Ye Qing also couldn't figure out why the sales of electric vehicles were booming across the country, as if someone was helping them advertise nationwide.

"I have about a million in cash now. With the factory's good performance, I can probably get a loan of eight million from the bank through my classmates," Ye Jiangning, of course, hoped the factory would grow bigger. Otherwise, with the current scale, they couldn't even meet the orders, which would be ridiculous.

"The empty land on both sides of the factory is ready. We just need to get approval from the industrial park management to expand it ourselves. But the old factory's name doesn't match the current situation; it needs to be changed."

The old factory was called Qingyun Cutting Machinery Manufacturing Plant, which was clearly inappropriate now. Ye Jiangning suggested changing it to Storm Electric Vehicle Company.

"Call it Storm Technology?" Ye Qing thought the name "electric vehicle" as a company name sounded a bit off, while Storm Technology sounded more upscale.

"That's good, let's call it Storm Technology." Ye Jiangning also thought the name sounded great. "I'll go to the business administration to handle the change. You'll need to sign when the time comes."

As the father and son were chatting happily, his mother called, saying that his brother and Xiaohu had already arrived in Zhongyun and asking whether he should go to the restaurant or home first.

Looking at the time, Ye Jiangning said they should go to the restaurant first, as they must be tired from the long journey and needed to eat and replenish their energy.

"You go to the restaurant to accompany your uncle. I'll go over after the workers finish their shift."

"Don't do everything yourself. Qiao Qi is reliable and has good management skills. You can entrust the production to him."

"Haha~ It's been a long time since we turned things around. I'm happy to be busy and tired." Ye Jiangning laughed heartily and told Ye Qing to hurry to the Wanhao Hotel.

The Wanhao Hotel was not far from home, and Ye Qing used to go there often when the factory was doing well.

When he drove the minivan to the Wanhao Hotel, his mother Xu Lan was chatting with a tall man wearing an old-fashioned shirt and with slightly graying hair. Next to them was a handsome, muscular young man with a buzz cut.

This was Xu Xiaohu, his uncle's grandson and his cousin's child.

After a few years without seeing each other, Ye Qing found that he had become much more handsome than when he was a child.

This guy was bored and was holding his phone, watching videos.

His uncle was in his sixties, having served in the military in his youth and then worked as a regular worker at the Anshan Steel Plant until retirement.

Perhaps inheriting the style of the older generation of steel workers and soldiers, his uncle always had a straight back and a loud voice.

"Uncle, hello~" Ye Qing gave his uncle a firm hug.

"Good guy, you've become much handsomer in two years." His uncle stood up happily, patting Ye Qing's shoulder. "Why didn't you bring your girlfriend?"

"What girlfriend?" Ye Qing was helpless. When elders meet, they always ask about girlfriends instead of work, as if it were a golden rule.

"Then find one quickly. Look at your little nephew, he's already had several girlfriends." His uncle glared at the young man beside him. "What are you doing with your phone? Come over and greet your uncle."

"Uncle, hello." Xu Xiaohu had a standard handsome face and a tall, muscular build. Even Ye Qing had to admit that this guy could get many girlfriends just by his looks.

"What are you watching, little nephew?" Ye Qing sat down next to him with a smile.

"Watching videos. This female streamer named Ai Yi plays ADC very well, but she's too ugly..." Xu Xiaohu turned his Huawei phone to let Ye Qing see.

Ye Qing, of course, knew how to play League of Legends, but his silver-level skills were terrible, and he had been too busy to play recently.

"Live streams, I like to watch Bing Fan play Leopard Girl. He's so good at farming, and he always blames others when he loses." Ye Qing took out his phone and connected to the Wi-Fi, but he was just browsing the news.

Xu Xiaohu looked at Ye Qing's 6PS with envy, as if he were looking at a rich person.

Of course, now Apple phones are everywhere, so Xu Xiaohu just looked a few more times, thinking his uncle was relatively wealthy.

"Bing Fan's singing is terrible, I can't stand it." Xu Xiaohu lowered his head and asked Ye Qing, "By the way, Uncle, there's a super pretty and cute streamer on Douyu called Doudou. She's from Zhongyun and studies at Zhongyun Radio and Television University. Have you seen her stream?"

"Of course, I've seen it. I even met her on the street." Ye Qing smiled mysteriously. "She's even prettier in person. You'll definitely meet her when you come to Zhongyun for university."

"Definitely. Zhongyun University is not far from her school. I've checked the information online." Xu Xiaohu clenched his fists, showing his confidence.

As if on cue, Doudou came online, and Xu Xiaohu excitedly said he had followed her.

The Wi-Fi here was very smooth, and after Xu Xiaohu opened Doudou's live stream, the high-definition picture quickly appeared.

Doudou's full name is Bai Doudou. She had introduced herself to Ye Qing before, but he didn't know she was still in school.

Seeing a familiar face, Ye Qing also squeezed over to watch the live stream.

"Hello, dear viewers, I'm your cutest Doudou. Today, I'm going to introduce a very special Zhongyun snack, Liu Fatzi's stir-fried noodles."

In the picture, Doudou, wearing a light blue dress and a white sun hat, waved sweetly at the camera.

The camera panned over her fair and delicate face, highlighting her pure and simple beauty.

Gulp~

Ye Qing and his little nephew Xu Xiaohu, without any prior agreement, made a swallowing motion.

"Hi~ Viewers, please fasten your seatbelts. Doudou is going to ride my silver scooter." After greeting, Bai Doudou fixed her phone on a silver, sporty, and sci-fi-looking electric scooter.

This electric scooter had a dedicated phone charging port, allowing Doudou's phone to maintain its battery.

[Holy crap~ What kind of electric scooter is this? It's as cool as a Ferrari.]

[Doudou, please take more pictures of the scooter. I want to see your scooter.]

[I've already reserved this scooter. Haha, worship me, you plebs!]

[Same reservation, please worship me!]

[Haha~ The dealer in our area has already gone to Zhongyun to get the goods. When he comes back, I can ride the same brand of electric scooter as Doudou.]

[Aww~ I feel sorry for Doudou. All the attention is being stolen by the electric scooter.]

[Let me explain~ I'll kindly educate you, you noobs. Doudou has introduced this electric scooter many times...]
