Li Cheng always believed that the battery factory could be saved by itself. To this end, he had many discussions with the director of the heavy machinery factory, hoping that the two companies could cooperate in business.

The heavy machinery factory is also facing transformation at this time. Their original products have been eliminated by the market, and now they are hesitant and don’t know which direction to develop in.

Li Cheng knew that the heavy machinery factory could not go bankrupt. They had tens of thousands of workers, and if they went bankrupt, a series of social problems would arise.

Not going bankrupt is a good thing, at least for the branch. If it goes bankrupt, it will be a big trouble.

Li Cheng told the director of the heavy machinery factory, "Put aside outdated products and directly introduce new production lines. Since you're a heavy machinery factory, you can consider diesel engines for vehicles and ships, as well as diesel generators. I've looked up information, and there aren't many such manufacturers in our country, so competition isn't great. You still have a chance to make a comeback..."

Li Cheng believed that a unit that could get 70 million yuan from the provincial branch to pay salaries would definitely receive favorable support from all parties once it determined its own development direction.

What they lack now is direction. If someone points them in the right direction, they will move in that direction.

Li Cheng also told him, "In the future, China will have a vast network of highways, and heavy trucks loaded with goods will be traveling back and forth constantly. Think about it, once you produce an efficient diesel engine, will you still have trouble selling it?"

"Also, our motherland has vast seas and open sea routes. We will definitely venture out, just like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think our giant ships will still be powered by sails?"

The director of the heavy machinery factory shook his head. He believed that what Li Cheng said was right and that all these would be realized in the near future.

"You should develop diesel engines, especially high-efficiency diesel engines, for use in vehicles, ships, and power generation in remote areas. Just think about how big your market is."

Li Cheng painted a brilliant picture for him, but the factory director was worried about the lack of R&D capabilities.

Before Li Cheng chatted with him, they had also considered developing in the direction of high-efficiency diesel engines. After all, this transformation would be the most cost-effective and many of their existing processes could be used.

But they do lack professional talent, and always feel that the difficulty is too great, so they have been unable to decide on a development direction.

After he explained the difficulties faced by the heavy machinery factory, Li Cheng pointed to his head and said, "Your mindset needs to change. For an enterprise to transform and develop, you leaders must first change your mindset."

The man looked at Li Cheng and remembered that the man in front of him was the young man who stood proudly in the heavy snow on the day when he paid the workers' wages.

That young man is Li Cheng in front of us!

Look at Li Cheng. The businesses he manages are all thriving, he's a capable banker, and he's also the Secretary-General of the Entrepreneurs Association. His brain is incredibly quick, and the quicker he thinks, the quicker he makes money.

The director of the heavy machinery factory made up his mind to follow Li Cheng's example and think more quickly. In this way, perhaps the heavy machinery factory could really be revitalized.

Li Cheng added, "Aren't you short of talent? You can bring in talent! Domestic or foreign talent is fine. Then, run your technical school and have the workers come back for training to improve their skills."

The factory manager nodded and thought to himself that your branch has the final say over the technical school now, and I can’t just use it whenever I want.

Li Cheng understood what he meant and told him, "To show our support for you, you can continue to use the technical school."

The factory manager nodded with a look of gratitude on his face.

Li Cheng added, "I heard your factory has over a hundred senior technicians. Don't let them sit idle. Send them to technical schools and have them teach apprentices. They all have excellent skills and will be very useful in the future."

Li Cheng knew about the senior technicians because there were people from the heavy machinery factory working in the barbecue city.

Good design, combined with high-level processing technology, makes a good product.

If the heavy machinery factory wants to be revived, these front-line senior technicians must not be lost.

Every word makes sense! The factory director looked at the young Li Cheng and wondered how this man could be so capable. He was an expert in finance, industry, and even business management.

Li Cheng looked at him and thought to himself that this man was originally only the third deputy director of the heavy machinery factory. After the old director retired, this man suddenly became the director.

Many people were dissatisfied with him, but he immediately raised 70 million yuan to pay the workers' wages. From then on, this person established his position as the factory director.

If he could get 70 million yuan, he must have connections to help their heavy machinery factory transform. As long as he pointed out the direction, they would definitely roll up their sleeves and work hard.

After a moment's silence, the factory director said, "Secretary Li, listening to your words is worth ten years of study. They say running a business is difficult, but that's because they haven't met someone knowledgeable to guide them. Now I understand. I'll go back and do as you say. I'll definitely complete the preliminary plan in the shortest possible time..."

Li Cheng believed that he could do it. After all, he was a man who had the ability to get a loan of 70 million.

In this way, Li Cheng found a potential customer for the battery factory.

But this is a small matter, there are still many things to deal with at the battery factory.

The professor in charge of pollution issues told Li Cheng that after his detailed investigation, he found that the existing space in the battery factory was not enough to install sewage storage equipment.

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, could this be God's will?

I didn't originally want to get land for the battery factory, but who would have thought that it would turn out that there was not enough land for the battery factory.

I can’t blame myself for this. Now I have no choice but to take over the land of the battery factory.

Li Cheng decided to move the battery factory out of the city.

After re-formulating the plan, Li Cheng came up with a detailed plan and submitted it to the relevant departments in the city, as well as the leaders of the municipal branch and sub-branch.

Now there is only one thing Li Cheng has to do, and that is to wait for the approval of those big guys.

This was the first time Li Cheng had done something under the name of the Entrepreneurs Association. If successful, the Entrepreneurs Association would become a practical and useful organization.

When Li Cheng did things later, he had a very special identity - neither an official businessman nor a civilian businessman, but a combination of various identities.

It is important to have a suitable identity for doing things. As a person who is well versed in the national conditions and understands the obvious and hidden ways of doing things, Li Cheng knows that he must have such a suitable identity.

Things will get bigger and bigger in the future, and Li Cheng can't always use others to do things for him. In many cases, he has to stand in the front.

And his current complex identity is enough to make him the focus of people no matter where he appears.

Just when Li Cheng was waiting for news, Du Dapeng suddenly called and said he wanted to see him.

Li Cheng thought about it and realized that he had just had dinner with Du Dapeng a few days ago, and he got him so drunk that he vomited on the spot.

Could it be that he has recovered now and wants revenge?

Although he thought so, Li Cheng still asked him where to meet.

Du Dapeng said, "Pick a place where you know the most people..."
