“…Should we start considering transformation?”

The noise of the celebration banquet seemed to be blocked out by these words. Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Transformation? Now that things are thriving, why do we need to transform?"

Shen Qiqi smiled cunningly: "Brother Qing, it's always wise to be prepared for danger in times of peace! The situation seems to be very good now, but the market is changing rapidly. If you don't prepare early, you will suffer losses in the future. You see, we mainly rely on..." Shen Qiqi lowered her voice and whispered a few words into Lu Qing's ear.

After listening to this, Lu Qing frowned, then relaxed.

After the celebration banquet, Shen Qiqi came to the family business site without stopping.

Machines roared, workers came and went, and the scene was bustling with activity.

However, Shen Qiqi's brows were tightly furrowed. She keenly sensed that beneath this prosperous appearance, there were huge hidden dangers.

The next day, Shen Qiqi called a meeting of all the workers.

She stood in the center of the conference room, looked around, and said in a firm tone: "Comrades, I called you all here today to discuss industrial transformation with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Worker Wang stood up abruptly and said in a gruff voice, "Transformation? What transformation? It's fine the way it is now, and we're making a lot of money. Why are we messing around?"

Uncle Lu also echoed: "Yes, Qiqi girl, this transformation is no joke. What if you lose money?" He looked nervous, as if he had already foreseen the tragic situation of losing everything.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, with voices of opposition rising one after another.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath

"Uncle Wang, Second Uncle, I understand what you're saying, but..." Shen Qiqi paused, her tone suddenly becoming sharp, "If we don't transform, we'll just be eliminated!" She slammed the table, "By then, it won't be too late to cry!"

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, trying to calm her slightly rapid breathing, and patiently explained the necessity of transformation and the broad prospects of the new industry.

She spoke eloquently, and her arguments ranged from policy analysis to market trends, from technological innovation to future prospects.

However, most of the workers were skeptical, looking at each other with distrust in their eyes.

"What's the point of talking big? If you lose money, can you afford it?" Worker Wang muttered sarcastically.

Others followed suit, chattering non-stop like a flock of frightened sparrows.

Shen Qiqi felt like she was performing a one-man show, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.

She walked alone in the factory, and the roar of the machines sounded particularly harsh at this moment.

The autumn wind was bleak, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground and swirling around her, as if mocking her arrogance.

Fatigue was like an invisible net that wrapped her tightly, and she felt like she didn't even have the strength to lift her feet.

Are we just going to give up like this?

No, she won't give up!

Shen Qiqi stopped and her eyes fell on the faded production slogan on the wall, and a small flame ignited in her heart.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, like a flash of lightning across the night sky.

Her eyes lit up and a sly smile played on her lips.

The next day, Shen Qiqi called all the workers to a meeting again.

This time, she didn't elaborate on the benefits of the transformation. Instead, she dropped a bombshell: "Workers who participate in the transformation training and pass the assessment will be rewarded..." She paused deliberately to whet everyone's appetite, "a Shanghai brand sewing machine!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room exploded.

Sewing machines were in short supply in the 1970s. If a family had one, it would be a matter of great honor!

Some young workers were so excited that they expressed their willingness to try it.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm ignited, Shen Qiqi was secretly happy.

She struck while the iron was hot, explained in detail the content and assessment standards of the training, and encouraged everyone to actively participate.

The originally lifeless meeting room was instantly filled with vitality, and the positive atmosphere spread like ripples.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but Shen Qiqi knew that this was just the beginning...

Market researcher Liu's report was still lying quietly on her desk, but the beautiful data on it made her feel a little uneasy.

She picked up the report, her eyes falling on the signature on the last page, and gently tapped the table. "Investigator Liu, data can sometimes be deceiving..."

Shen Qiqi played with the pen in her hand, spinning it flexibly on her fingertips, but her eyes fell on the report submitted by market researcher Liu.

The beautiful numbers were like jumping notes, but they sounded particularly harsh in her eyes.

"Researcher Liu, your data is quite interesting." Shen Qiqi had a meaningful smile on her face, and her tone was inaudible.

Investigator Liu was confused and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He subconsciously adjusted his glasses. "Comrade Shen...Shen, these data are all obtained from my field research. They are absolutely true and reliable!"

"Oh? Field investigation?" Shen Qiqi raised an eyebrow. "Then why don't we go on a field investigation together?"

Investigator Liu was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes behind the glasses.

He stammered, "This... This may not be very convenient..."

"It's convenient, why not?" Shen Qiqi's tone was still gentle, but with unquestionable firmness, "It just so happens that I also want to understand the market situation, so I'll just treat it as a learning experience."

At this time, Lu Qing came over, put his arm around Shen Qiqi's shoulders, and gave her an encouraging look.
