Mr. Mei's face looked extremely grim. He was like a deflated balloon. He had gone bankrupt and sold his company, so it was no wonder he looked so unhappy.

After selling the company, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and he had no appetite to stay and eat. After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the hotel private room.

Not long after Boss Mei left, Fang Lin and Mei Lu returned.

Dongqing said, "Sister Meilu, you are my second sister's good friend, and Yuqiu is my wife's younger sister. I hope you can stay and help her!"

"Do you believe me? I'm the secretary of a bankrupt company," Melu said.

Dong Qing said, "Can you blame the boss for the company going bankrupt? His bankruptcy was caused by many factors. To be precise, he didn't have any real money. He could earn money but couldn't afford to lose it. I trust you, and I hope you can stay and help my sister."

There are significant risks associated with taking out loans to start a business. If problems arise in the company's operations, there is no way to remedy the situation, and the bank will absolutely not lend money to a company that is about to go bankrupt.

This is really not a good way to measure a secretary's ability. No matter how capable she is, she can't turn things around if the boss doesn't have money.

Melu said, "Since you trust me so much, I'll stay."

The food was served quickly, and Su Wei came in to eat with them.

Li Yuqiu asked, "Brother-in-law, how do I manage to run this huge mess I've taken over?"

Dong Qing said, "Even a large enterprise can be a mess. The mess this company is in is a done deal. It all depends on how you manage it after taking over. If you manage it well, you can still turn it around and make a profit."

Li Yuqiu said, "The car manufacturing plant has so many cars that it can't sell. Even though I bought the whole company, just thinking about it gives me a headache. How am I going to deal with so many cars? What kind of business can such a big factory do? We can't just keep manufacturing cars, can we?"

Dong Qing said, "Things are static, but people are dynamic. Some obvious problems are hard to change, but you can change them in other ways. You should know the term 'transplanting flowers into trees,' right? If cars aren't selling, why don't you turn them into tools for making money?"

Li Yuzhu remained silent for a long time after hearing her brother-in-law's words. She really couldn't figure out how so many cars could be turned into money-making tools. She asked, "Can you explain things more clearly? How can so many unsold cars be turned into money-making tools?"

Dong Qing said, "It's not that so many cars are hard to sell, it's that they simply can't be sold. If they could be sold, even if Mr. Mei sold the cars at a loss, he wouldn't have gone bankrupt. The main problem is that nobody wants them, no matter how expensive or cheap they are. This is something that can't be explained to you in just a few words."

Dongqing then shared his thoughts with his sister-in-law;

To get out of this predicament, a car transportation company must be established immediately.

The car transport company mainly targets comprehensive department store wholesale markets and farmers' markets, which together account for a large volume of transportation.

In those days, the transportation system was generally weak, and automobile transportation was extremely rare. A car cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and without a certain amount of financial resources, no one could start a automobile transportation company.

Many merchants often struggle to find trucks to transport their goods, and establishing a transportation company can solve their transportation problems.

Establishing a transportation company would be very convenient for businesses, and at the same time, Li Yuqiu could put the many stockpiled vehicles in the factory to good use. By establishing a car transportation company, the current problems of the car manufacturing plant would be solved.

His method is to achieve great results with minimal effort, using the stockpiled cars to generate greater profits, and by establishing a car transportation company, he can reverse the company's overall passive situation.

Establishing a car transportation company can significantly boost the entire company, enabling it to overcome its difficulties and achieve profitability.

The next step is to set up service stations for car transport companies at the entrances of the two wholesale markets to serve merchants in the two wholesale markets and dispatch transport company vehicles after receiving orders.

The semi-finished cars from the car manufacturing plant, along with their spare parts, are fully assembled into cars and put into use by transportation companies.

Continuing to manufacture cars is definitely not realistic; car sales are simply too low these days.

Once the car parts are used up, no more cars will be manufactured. The factory itself is in the machinery business, and it has no shortage of any equipment. The equipment used to manufacture cars is more than enough to manufacture luxury fully enclosed tricycles.

You should adopt the business model appropriate for the era you live in. You can't deliberately go against it, or you'll end up losing out.

In the 1990s, there was a corresponding market for high-end fully enclosed tricycles. They partnered with Yusheng Company's tricycle manufacturing plant and used the plant's technology for production.

She sent technicians and experienced workers to the automobile manufacturing plant of Li Yuqiu's company to immediately start the tricycle manufacturing industry. All the tricycles produced would use the brand of Yusheng Company's tricycle manufacturing plant, and she would pay Yusheng Company a corresponding joint venture fee every year.

This really has nothing to do with relatives. Dongqing can help her sister-in-law however she wants, but business is business, and she has to pay the expenses that are due.

She was his sister-in-law; no one else would have helped her like that.

Since it's a joint venture, Yusheng Company will also help her open up market sales channels.

With a brother-in-law like that, it would be hard for Li Yuzhu not to become wealthy; she could probably laugh in her dreams.

The other three companies remain unchanged, with the original management team continuing production.

The acquired companies started up quickly for a simple reason: the original team and equipment companies could be put into production immediately after adjustments.

This is similar to buying a second-hand house; everything the previous owner left behind is there, so you can move in immediately.

Restarting a newly acquired company requires a large amount of capital. Li Yuqiu needs to take out a five million loan from the bank, and if things go smoothly, she can pay off the entire loan before the end of the year.

Several people looked at Dong Qing in disbelief after hearing this. His plan was similar to the one he had planned years ago to build a comprehensive department store wholesale market through fundraising.

The difference is that Dong Qing used fundraising to drive the whole project, while Li Yuqiu is now using the stockpiled vehicles to establish a transportation company to drive the whole project. His approach was simply icing on the cake in that era.

Su Wei said, "I never expected you to have such profound business strategies. Your move was nothing short of a life-saving miracle for a bankrupt company. It was a single, decisive move that turned the tide. If that guy surnamed Mei had even a tenth of your business acumen, he wouldn't have gone bankrupt. Your management skills are truly amazing."

Dong Qing said, "A company often needs to analyze things from the root. What kind of difficulties are there? What kind of methods are needed to solve them? If we don't use these methods, all those cars in the car manufacturing plant will continue to be piling up in the warehouse."

Car models and styles become obsolete quickly, and the longer they sit in warehouses, the harder they are to sell. Even if the car industry performs well in the future, no one will buy them. Who would want to buy an outdated car that has been sitting in a warehouse for years? If these cars continue to be stored in warehouses, they will inevitably become a pile of junk, and they will take up so much space that nothing can be done with them.
