The factory was originally worth only 7.2 million. Young Master was offering ten million for it. In this situation, whoever did not sell would be a complete idiot!

It was obvious the General Manager was not an idiot. Otherwise, he would not have been able to manage such a big factory. Without hesitation, he accepted the offer. “Okay! Okay! Thank you, Young Master!”

Hong Dali waved his hand nonchalantly. “Okay, go. I do not like troublesome things. You go settle all the paperwork and other things, then just leave with the money. As for the change in management, perhaps you can just send a memo out.”

The General Manager nodded and bowed. “Ok, no problem, definitely no problem! I will get it done now. Now!”

Time and tide waited for no man. One should not delay when there was a good deal to be had. This God of Fortune might just change his mind at any time!

The General Manager left with Ling Xiaoyi to finalize the sale. Hong Dali sat on the high chair looking outwardly pleased with himself. In actual fact, he was thinking to himself, Once I’m done with being prodigal this time I should be able to change the design plans? Little Meow, I have tried my best. Whether or not you can become a normal cat will depend on your own hard work. Don’t disappoint me!

In just a short while, Ling Xiaoyi returned alone. Once she saw Hong Dali, she smiled and said, “Young Master, it’s done.”

Hong Dali nodded. “Deal! Order the staff to cease productions for everything except the toy that have outstanding orders. Let me make the toys I want, the way I want, first. I want remote controlled 1:1 scale model cars and 2:1 scale model planes. Make one hundred of the remote controlled cars first. I want the remote-controlled planes to be made in the form of flying saucers. Oh right, find me the designer. I want the toys to be like those in science fiction.”

Young Master is going against the heavens!

A sky full of flying saucers and remote-controlled science fiction cars on the ground. They might be model toys, but if they were made of pure steel and fitted with high capacity batteries, they would be indistinguishable from the real cars on the streets!

Soon, the toy designer showed up. Hong Dali snapped his fingers the moment he saw him. “Tip him, 10,000!”

That was how the game designer’s loyalty level went from fifty to max. This world was very materialistic. There was no unwarranted hate between people, but there was also no unwarranted love. If it were purely dependent on talk, it would be hard to gain complete loyalty.

However, Hong Dali’s method was simple and brutal. Assuming there was no preexisting enmity, no one would say no to money.

Why else would they say money makes the world go round? This toy designer was no different. He had been completely won over by ten thousand yuan right from the first meeting. “Thank you, your Majesty! Tell me whatever requests you have, Young Master. If I can do it, I swear I will get it done to your satisfaction!”

Hong Dali chuckled and said, “It’s actually not much. Do you have any good design plans for remote-controlled cars or airplanes? Let me see them if you have any. I reckon you should have some saved designs after working in this line for so long?”

The designer said humbly, “Yes, definitely! Since Young Master has asked, even if I have none I will make some appear. Young Master, please wait a while. I will go get them for you now. I will be right back!”

As everyone present looked on, stunned, the designer dashed out like he was running the hundred-meter sprint. Within two minutes, he was back with a laptop. “Young Master, please take a look!” As he spoke, he fiddled with the laptop. “These are all designed by me. See if there are any you like. If there are any similar ones, I can amend the designs to your wishes!”

This fellow certainly knows how to please!

Hong Dali happily started browsing through the designs. “Yes, not bad, really good, they are all science-fiction inspired designs! I like them… Hey, this one is good!” Hong Dali pointed at a gray racing car model and asked, “This car looks really cool. What is it called? Look at the solid steel body. There is even a sun halo on the front. Nice. The body is pretty too!”

The car he was pointing at had a streamlined body. The front of the car was made of a few big sections joined together almost seamlessly. The middle was a huge golden sun halo. The entire car was a blue-gray color. The rear end of the car had tires with a flaming design. Altogether, the car looked like a super robot!

Hong Dali loved robots when he was on Earth. He was unable to take his eyes off this.

The designer said proudly, “This, this is my newest design. I call it the Granzon. The entire car is made up of segments like a robot, incorporated in a streamlined design. It’s very nice!”

Hong Dali cried out in satisfaction. “This is the one! Reward, 20,000!”

The designer’s snort almost dripped out of his nose. He had met rich men before, but this was the first one he had met one who gave out twenty thousand yuan in tips. He was probably one of a kind!

After rewarding the man, Hong Dali laughed and asked, “Yes, by the way, how many seats this car has?”

“Currently only two,” The designer quickly added. “But if Young Master so desires, it can be suitably amended!”

As a super prodigal, it was inconceivable for Hong Dali to drive himself. “Change it! Change it so it can seat six! Make it longer! Make it wider!”

The designer asked curiously, “This… Young Master, I can change it, but it’s just a toy car. Does it matter if it seats six or two?”

Hong Dali replied curiously, “How can there be no difference?! I want 1:1 scale models! Of course, it needs to be bigger! If it can only seat two, after allocating a seat for driver Uncle Wang, where will I, Xinxin, Nianwei, and Xiaoyi sit?”

The designer was completely taken aback. “A 1:1 scale model? Young Master, I designed this as a toy, not a real car. The reliability of the moving parts and the durability of the car body have not been tested. Are you thinking of… riding in it yourself?”

Hong Dali rubbed his chin. “You don’t need to care about that. Yes, you just have to be in charge of designing the exterior. Oh, I have that car, the Soaring Angel. You just have to follow its measurements.”

“S… Soaring Angel!!” The designer’s snort almost dripped out. “Young Master, that’s a four million yuan car…”

Hong Dali bared his teeth angrily. “Why are you so long-winded? Return me the money if you will not change it!”

How could he return money that was already in his hands? The designer did not hesitate. “Change! I will change it, all right! I will go back and change it now. I will follow the measurements of the Soaring Angel!”

Hong Dali said in satisfaction, “That’s the way… That shall be all for the car. What about flying models? Do you have anything?”

The designer opened another folder. “Yes, I have everything! These are all the flying designs!”

All the designer’s designs were very much like science fiction machines. It was obvious he loved science fiction. He had designs which were realistic, futuristic, historical and even completely fantastical ones!

“This,” Hong Dali pointed at an airplane model that looked like an alien spacecraft. “What about this? Will this be able to fly if we were to make it?”

Glancing at the model Hong Dali was pointing at, the designer shook his head. “This cannot fly. It’s a building model. It looks good after assembly, but with its overall build and look, it definitely cannot fly.”

He flipped through a few designs and came to one that had wings similar to a small fighter plane or a passenger plane. “If the body is not too big, this will fly. If it has a propeller, it will fly if it’s light enough.”

After listening to what the designer said, Hong Dali could only nod. “In that case…”

Airplanes were different from cars.

Cars only needed a battery, a starter, and wells to run. The exterior did not matter much, so long as it was not too outlandishly weird, it should run fine.

Airplanes were different. There were many factors to consider when making an airplane—the weight of the main body, the exterior casing, source of power, method of taking off. Everything had to be precise or the airplane would not fly properly.

That was why Hong Dali did not make the decision this time. Instead, he asked the designer, “If you were to choose, which of these would be most suitable for making into a remote-controlled model? It must be something that can fly!”

After hearing what Hong Dali said, the designer very quickly found a suitable model. “This one!” It was a silvery white science fiction inspired airplane model with four wings on both sides that looked like a Japanese Rhinoceros beetle. “This model was specially designed by me. The main chassis is made of high-quality plastic and is sure to be light. There are rotary blades on the top and its design quite streamlined. If we make it with enough power, it should fly with no problem.”

Hong Dali rubbed his chin. “Helicopter… All right, I will make do and play with this first.”

“Okay!” The designer copied the two design blueprints and said, “I will ask the production team to start work on these two models so you can have a look.”

Hong Dali nodded. “Okay. Deal. I will wait for your good news, then.”

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin. “These two models have to be made on a large scale. The car should 1:1, make the aircraft 2:1. Only then can I play to my heart’s content!”

The designer asked cautiously, “This… Young Master, a 2:1 scale for the aircraft might be a little big. Do you think it should be a little smaller?”

“Smaller?” Hong Dali thought about it. There seemed to be no point in having the flying model too big. He could make it smaller, at least it could be used for cave exploration or something. Didn’t Uncle Chief say that there was a cave that was still unexplored? If he made the flying craft smaller and increased its capabilities with his reassembly skill, mount a camera on it… Hey, it seemed like a good idea!

Having thought that far, Hong Dali said decisively, “Make it smaller, then! Yes, make one hundred pieces of the car models, and five hundred of the aircraft. Whatever money you need, look for Xiaoyi. I’m not going to care about that.”

With a “plonk,” the laptop that was in the designer’s hands dropped onto the ground… He was shocked!
