Some were automobile factories, some were train manufacturing plants, some were munitions factories, while others were simply steel mills.
Overall, the Great Tang Group had basically given up on light industry layouts and turned to providing various production equipment to light industries. On one hand, the Great Tang Group supported the primary industry of agriculture; on the other hand, it monopolized heavy industries.
Nowadays, the Great Tang Group's attention focused mainly on the two ends of the industrial chain: They supplied farmers with quality seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, sold agricultural machinery like tractors, and boosted agricultural output.
On another front, the Great Tang Group supplied mechanical equipment to almost all light industrial enterprises while also maintaining a monopoly on the supply of electricity.
Apart from the few directly-owned textile factories and light industries of Great Tang Fashion, the Great Tang Group had withdrawn from the textile field and other areas, leaving that market to other merchants.
And this concession was compensated; the Great Tang Group sold its own shares and naturally took back dozens or even hundreds of times the capital.
Looking at each account, looking at every record, Yulin felt as if she could see her favorite man working diligently every single day of these past five years…
After sending Yue'er upstairs, Tang Mo walked alone through the castle's splendid hall, leaning against a door nearby, a smile crept onto his face as he watched the figures of an old man and a young person in the distance.
Roger was handing over duties to Yulin. As Tang Mo's chief steward, his work was indeed not light: "He always wakes up on time every morning, without needing someone to call him… He is a very disciplined man, that's beyond doubt."
Yulin nodded and earnestly said to Roger, "I know."
"Breakfast is usually arranged by Cui Xi, an old habit for many years," Roger continued with the familiar rundown.
"Auntie Cui Xi's breakfast has always been an unforgettable delight." Hearing about Auntie Cui Xi, Yulin also smiled.
Although Cui Xi still held an important position in the group's financial investigation department, she would still inquire about Tang Mo's breakfast every morning, a practice she had never missed over the years.
These ordinary old-timers of the group showed their loyalty in their own way, which was the fundamental reason for the group's efficient operations.
"Every week, Tang Mo has to set aside at least 3 afternoons to draw blueprints or guide other engineers to draw… This is a fixed schedule, so you must be mindful of it," Roger continued describing Tang Mo's daily work.
Being the group's most powerful humanoid walking drawing machine, Tang Mo actually had it worse than a guy named Chris. To advance the development of the world, many times Tang Mo had to play the role of the inventor.
Most inventions were directly drawn out by Tang Mo, then went straight into mass production—saving the world research and development time and creating terrifying profits through advanced technology for the Great Tang Group.
"Understood," Yulin nodded.
"During this time, it's best not to disturb him. If there is something extremely urgent, you should personally remind him," Roger advised her again.
"I understand," Yulin replied with a more serious nod.
Tang Mo silently watched this scene, not interrupting the two during their job handover.
On the side, Roger continued his handover instructions: "Additionally, within a week, he has to set aside at least 5 hours to conduct some experiments in the laboratory. Same as before, the duration must be maintained; you schedule it."
"Hmm," Yulin answered obediently, with no sign of her school queen demeanor.
"I have to warn you again about those dangerous poisons and other messes; you better help Tang Mo throw them out of the castle! Those things are too dangerous! They shouldn't be anywhere near Tang Mo!" Roger warned her again about this.
Yulin nodded again and promised Roger, "I'll arrange for the laboratory to be relocated tonight!"
Roger nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Also, during lunchtime, Tang Mo likes to have a cup of hot tea, less sugar… with just the right temperature."
"Okay, I've got it," Yulin answered quickly—she knew Tang Mo's tastes too well, almost as if they were etched into her very bones.
Even the food she loved to eat was actually what Tang Mo loved—whatever she previously didn't eat had also subtly changed to match Tang Mo's preferences.
The queen her majesty wasn't famous for nothing; she had truly put in some hard work studying Principal Tang's…
Roger remembered something else: "On Tuesday morning this week, there's a 30-minute slot he needs to set aside personally for selecting fashion trends; I haven't managed to determine the exact time yet… However, it's only once a quarter, so you can schedule it whenever. The timing is quite flexible, but don't delay it too much since you need to leave some time for the production department."
"Hmm…" Yulin was rather interested in this—it's natural for a woman to be more interested in Great Tang Fashion.
For a woman to be able to sit beside the godfather of fashion and see every design before the winter or summer collections are finalized—that was indeed a delightful matter!
Roger kept describing Tang Mo's schedule: "Each week, he has to set aside 2 hours to practice shooting… It's his hobby."
