Lu Fan laughed and said, "At least it didn't leave us with a mess. It may be small, but it has all the essential parts."
It was far easier than their start in Lingnan City. This comparison between Lu Fan and Lu Qingyi gave Zhang Qingyi pause for thought.
When news of the acquisition of Asia Pacific Group broke, the outside world didn't react much, but the industry was filled with boos:
"Is Fanyue Group trying to bankrupt all car companies so that it can dominate the market?"
"That's outrageous! Their main business isn't even automobile manufacturing, yet they're trying to take a share of our profits."
"With Yatian's level of expertise, what kind of cars can they build after the acquisition?" "Rumors are circulating that they won't be manufacturing new energy electric vehicles. Haha, what's wrong with Fanyue's boss? He's not even using his signature technology. Is he planning to continue stealing our business?"
Then some negative comments started circulating on media platforms. The marketing department reported this to Lu Fan.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Fan just smiled after reading these reports:
"Alright, let's not bother with these grasshoppers who are like grapes in autumn. They're just sour grapes."
Lu Fan indicated that there was absolutely no need to worry.
The marketing manager thought for a moment, then reported:
"Mr. Lu, many competitors have called to inquire about this matter." "Some of our product distributors are also considering withdrawing."
"Should we invest more in advertising and marketing?"
At least we need to reverse the negative reputation first, so that it doesn't end up affecting sales.
Lu Fan immediately understood what was going on:
"Is it another problem with the distributors? Ha, the Baiyue Supermarket incident was also caused by problems with the distributors."
"Now all departments in our group are back on track. We're so busy that our distributors are practically begging us for their services. There's no time when we can't find our distributors anymore."
"We should terminate the contracts of these guys who will turn against us at the slightest sign of trouble. Otherwise, if our group encounters any other changes, they will be the first to betray us."
"Isn't this troublesome enough!"
Lu Fan instructed the marketing manager to take Lü Qiuyi to negotiate with the other party. He emphasized that any breach of contract would be met with zero tolerance.
As they were talking, Zhang Qingyi's call came through to the internal line.
Lu Fan answered the internal call, and Zhang Qingyi's excited voice came through the receiver:
"President Lu, I heard that the factory has already started production, and the engines and electrical equipment have been completed."
Hearing this news, Lu Fan was also very excited:
"Have you already gone to the factory area?"
Zhang Qingyi quickly said:
"Because the technicians on the production line said that we can start trial assembly, I came over to keep an eye on it."
"Mr. Lu, are you coming over now? If so, I'll have the workers wait a bit."
Such an important matter naturally made Lu Fan want to go and see for himself. So he gave the marketing manager a few instructions, hung up the phone, and had the driver take him to the factory.
Yatian Group's automobile manufacturing plant is also located in the suburbs, not far from the headquarters of Fanyue Group.
Lu Fan arrived at the factory soon.
It was already lunchtime in the factory area.
Instead of going to the canteen to get food, everyone was chattering around the newly produced electrical equipment on the production line.
They were even more excited than Zhang Qingyi.
This is the first piece of equipment manufactured after their car factory was acquired and the production line was restarted.
They waited in the center of the crowd, anticipating the first assembly and testing.
After Lu Fan arrived, he signaled to everyone to start the generator first.
"boom!"
The sound of the whistling was clear and powerful.
With just that one sound, the experts knew: it was done!
Following the blueprints provided by their boss, they successfully manufactured the equipment.
After a brief silence, everyone erupted in unprecedented, joyful cheers.
The laughter and cheers were so loud they seemed to have turned the entire factory area upside down.
"It's done! It's really done! This is the equipment we need for our new car!"
"It's running! This thing is really advanced; I couldn't understand the blueprints at all back then."
"Without the workshop supervisor's guidance, we wouldn't even know what we're remanufacturing."
"That would also have to be due to the ingenuity of our boss's blueprints; otherwise, where would we get the equipment?"
Lu Fan listened to everyone's flattery, whether humble or boastful, without putting on airs. Instead, he joined in the laughter for a while.
Only then did we begin the second step of performance testing.
As the current surged in, the engine started.
Everyone stared intently at the equipment. At first, it was quiet, but then they couldn't contain their excitement.
"Oh dear, the current is normal, the fuel tank is normal..."
"Operating normally, power is... speed..."
As the tests progressed, data was released one by one, and each new data point elicited a commotion.
I was both shocked and delighted.
Lu Fan was overjoyed. As the initiator of this project, he naturally knew that the blueprints provided by Professor Zhen were no ordinary work.
But when the product is actually released...
Lu Fan was also immersed in the joyful atmosphere of everyone.
