It wasn't even possible to accused it of being inhumane, because Dou Dou could very legitimately respond with, "I was never human to begin with."
But it had to be admitted, the trial run of the project platform was very effective.
Even though at first, everyone was hesitant to take on tasks with too high of a difficulty, it didn't matter.
Dou Dou's rules included a trump card: if no laboratory had taken on a high-difficulty task within a certain period, an automatic external invitation mechanism would trigger, inviting qualified laboratories outside the school to accept the task.
If a high-difficulty task was accepted by a qualified external laboratory, all the internal laboratories participating in the project plan would have points deducted proportionally.
Of course, the reason why Dou Dou could be so willful was that Qiao Ze had developed and tested quite a few related tools for this project over the period, which ensured the smooth progress of the whole project.
Su Lixing didn't drag his feet either.
With an astonishing speed and relatively affordable prices, he had acquired the factory building and had already started renovations according to the standards Qiao Ze had sent him.
As for the so-called environmental audit, as long as enough money was thrown at it, it wasn't a problem.
Of course, throwing money here meant purchasing and installing various environmental protection equipment.
Su Lixing might not have understood manufacturing well, but he couldn't be stopped by the fact that he now had an abundance of disposable funds—so much that it was overflowing.
You should know that during this time, banks were lining up, begging Su to take out loans from them, as much as possible, with no limit imposed.
Although banks are a disadvantaged group, their information is always particularly well-informed.
Qiao Ze had designed a revolutionary material research model, and although it hadn't spread among the general public yet, major banks had already received related news.
Su Lixing was Qiao Ze's future father-in-law, and at this critical juncture, he was about to open a material manufacturing plant. Even though it wasn't yet known what materials it would produce, it was obvious that the products of this plant would be in high demand.
Even just based on the relationship with Qiao Ze, if the products from the factory were of equal quality, they could likely sell for a premium of ten percent over other manufacturers, and it was very likely downstream factories would scramble to purchase them.
Nobody would dare to compete with Su Lixing's business anyway, for the entire material industry was reliant on his future son-in-law's tools for their livelihood. The market potential that this model could bring was so great that it left the economists hired by various banks in awe. Anyone who dared to compete was likely not planning on staying in business.
For banks, a client of this caliber was described as "once in a millennium" without exaggeration.
The only regret was that Su's vision was too small. What use was a factory of just over a hundred acres?
In recent days, nearly all bank managers from Xilin city had been inviting Su Lixing to meals, all of them advising him during the meals that if he were to do business, he should aim big! He should go for several thousand or tens of thousands of acres of land on the outskirts of Xilin City and build a material industrial park directly, seizing the opportunities of the times and those given by his future son-in-law to take off in one fell swoop.
If you're going to do it, do it until you become the world's richest man!
Money was not an issue at all.
As long as Su Lixing had the idea, it wasn't just the banks of Xilin, but many institutions across the country would come offering investment with checks in hand.
Some even brought planning maps to the dinner table.
The plots had already been selected for Su Lixing, almost as if they were just waiting for him to nod, and they could start the expropriation work the next day. There were even those who patted their chests and told Su that all preferential policies would be tipped in his favor…
Clearly, many people from the local government in Xilin also hoped that Su Lixing would have this boldness.
The future man may not stay in Xilin, but once such a huge industrial cluster is established, it should remain immovable for at least ten to twenty years.
Even if the taxes were a bit less in the earlier years, in the future, it would be a cash cow.
Unfortunately, faced with such overwhelming wealth, Su Lixing became timid.
