Chapter 55: Making Money with Documentaries
Although Wu Hao could have produced better coating materials, it would require a completely new processing method.
However, at the current level of the base, it already meets his requirements. Because in the future, a separate new laboratory will be built specifically for research and manufacturing.
After days of continuous busyness, Wu Hao also planned to take a few days off. Additionally, since New Year's Day is approaching in a day, he also planned to return home.
That evening, Wu Hao went to a logistics company in the city again and received the second batch of materials and various electronic components that had been transferred multiple times from abroad, using the same method as last time.
This time, the goods also exceeded 10 tons. Not only were they heavy, but the price of the entire batch was also considerable.
For example, the total price of Wu Hao's previous batch of goods amounted to 300 million US dollars, and this time it was slightly lower. In addition to these two batches, the total price of the remaining batches is also around 800 million US dollars.
In other words, Wu Hao has spent a total of about 1.4 billion US dollars on purchasing these materials. The money he earned from selling jade is almost depleted. Additionally, during this period, he also spent tens of millions of dollars purchasing goods domestically. Now the total balance in his account is only a few tens of millions of US dollars.
Most of these batches consist of raw materials, and electronic components make up only a small portion. These raw materials are mainly used for various elements in 3D printing equipment.
In the future, whether Wu Hao is researching new composite materials or other things, he cannot do without these highly purified raw materials.
Of course, once the base is operational in the future, the purchased raw materials will definitely not be enough. However, the raw materials with higher consumption can be purchased domestically.
After seeing Wu Hao drive away, the hotel staff couldn't stop smiling. "Hehe! This person is really generous. Just by looking at the car, I earned over 3,000 yuan. That's much better than what the hotel makes."
No wonder the hotel staff was so happy. During the time Wu Hao had left his car parked at their hotel, it had attracted many customers. After all, Wu Hao's car had an imposing appearance, and it was the most expensive car seen in their small town, worth several hundred thousand yuan. Luxury cars worth millions of yuan had never appeared there.
It's easy to imagine that Wu Hao's car had caught the attention of most people in the town during this time. Many people even came to take photos with it. However, the hotel staff was always present whenever someone wanted to take a photo.
After leaving the small town, Wu Hao drove directly towards Sanyuan City. Since tomorrow was New Year's Day and schools were already on holiday, Wu Hao had promised his younger sister that he would pick her up from school today.
He arrived in Sanyuan City in the morning, still a few hours before his sister's holiday began. The official break would start around 2-3 PM.
Usually, afternoon classes started around 2 o'clock, but due to tomorrow being a public holiday and considering that some students had long journeys back home, the afternoon classes were scheduled to end early. Students would be let out around 2-3 PM.
Since it was still early, Wu Hao decided to wander around the city and buy some things to take back home.
Meanwhile, his villa, which had been under construction for over two months, was nearing completion. They were now cleaning the interior and conducting detailed inspections.
The swift progress in the construction was naturally due to Wu Hao's financial support. As long as you paid generously, the workers were more than happy to finish your project quickly. However, this construction team responsible for building Wu Hao's villa was not the type that only cared about money and didn't do their job.
After purchasing some festive items, Wu Hao had nothing else to do, so he opened his laptop in the car and connected to the internet, which was directly accessed via satellite signal. Needless to say, the internet speed was excellent.
"Hmm! I didn't expect the earnings from the documentary to be quite high!" After browsing the news for a while, Wu Hao opened his email, where he found several payment notifications from media outlets such as CCTV.
