Wu Changfeng walked from the last row to the front of the stage.
This is necessary.
Old Zhou's hardware capabilities are too poor.
Nobody knew him, and nobody knew him.
Even if your words carry weight, it depends on who you're talking to.
Everyone present was from a large state-owned factory.
A private processing plant suddenly appeared.
It's absolutely hilarious.
This is a national mission!
In this era, what business is it of your private processing plant?
Get out of here, okay?
It's not that I look down on you, it's that I really look down on you!
Even if it were a different local processing plant, Minister Xu would still have to give Wu Changfeng face.
But private processing plants are definitely not an option.
so.
The three of them must stand in front and give a good performance.
Wu Changfeng said to Minister Xu, "Minister Xu, I would like to recommend to you a processing enterprise that has been deeply involved in the industry for many years and has complete processing equipment to undertake the supporting equipment."
"This is Old Zhou, the factory director of the No. 1 processing plant in Chishui County, Jiyang Province."
"I need to clarify in advance that this is a privately owned processing plant."
With a loud bang.
The entire audience was shocked and laughed.
Even the top leader was dumbfounded.
What!
Wu Changfeng, why did you bring up private factories?!
What are you trying to do?!
Director Wang was taken aback; this kid always surprises people!
The factory leaders below began to discuss the matter:
"Am I seeing things? It's a private workshop!"
"Damn, is there no one left in Jiyang Province?"
"That's not how you save face."
"What individual strength do you have that can compare to ours?"
"How ignorant! This is a national mission; how can it be entrusted to an individual?"
"Can he afford to take that responsibility?! This is utter nonsense!"
"They'll take any kind of job, even the worst fish and shrimp?"
"Don't worry, Minister Xu would never dare to entrust this kind of task to a private individual."
"That's right. If a private business fails, they just run away. Who are you going to turn to?"
Old Zhou and Zhou Huanxiong also heard the discussions.
His face flushed instantly, realizing he had acted rashly.
I really shouldn't have come to this place.
It's embarrassing that everyone is so pessimistic about me.
Wu Changfeng coughed to calm the two down.
This is nothing.
The real bombshell came next.
really.
Minister Xu frowned even more and glanced at Minister Tang.
Is this the face you want?
What a load of bull!
Minister Tang coughed and asked Wu Changfeng, "Changfeng, are you alright?"
"I am fine."
"So what are you up to?"
"Take on jobs."
"A private processing plant taking on the job?" Minister Tang questioned, "You understand the importance of this matter better than I do!"
“Look at the factory managers here, aren’t they all high-ranking and powerful with deep influence?”
"Doing it this way makes us look low-class, you know that?"
Wu Changfeng laughed and said, "Minister Tang is right, we all share the same neck and head."
"They're all factory managers, is there any difference in rank?"
"Everyone has a few lathes. Does lathe manufacturing industry have the same arrogance as state-owned enterprises and private enterprises?"
"It's all about taking on jobs, processing, and finishing products."
"What state-owned enterprise employees can do, private enterprise employees can also do."
"Director Zhou's hardware conditions are not bad, there is no doubt about that."
"All that's needed now is an attitude."
Wu Changfeng said to Lao Zhou, "Lao Zhou, you tell us."
Old Zhou nodded, then looked at Minister Xu.
He hesitated to meet Minister Xu's gaze.
Such a high-ranking leader is not someone who can be easily fooled, like a town mayor.
But Lao Zhou quickly changed his mindset.
He recalled his hardships.
The factory didn't have much work to begin with; they only did what they could, such as bearings, valves, steel structures, and even pressure vessels.
What you put in the basket is vegetables.
But this is not a long-term solution. Old Zhou felt that they had to do something big.
To keep his factory stable.
so.
He arrived, and he first went to find Wu Changfeng.
Now, standing before this crowd, whether I live or die is up to me.
Old Zhou remembered Wu Changfeng's advice: have passion, have a broad perspective, and never focus solely on money.
Don't ask how much a set of supporting equipment costs, or how much it would cost to manufacture it yourself.
These don't work!
The problem with a country is not a lack of money, but a lack of qualifications!
This is an opportunity!
If I seize this opportunity, I will be able to stand on equal footing with those big companies!
Old Zhou raised his voice, and his first words stunned Minister Xu: "Minister Xu, I don't care about profits."
Minister Xu scoffed, "Let's put aside the nature of your factory for now. So what do you care about?"
Old Zhou said firmly, "To be honest, although I have a small factory, we have excellent technology. However, we are not well-known, so I want to take on a supporting project."
"Do it seriously and do it well! Winning a good reputation for the factory will also help us get more work in the future."
Minister Xu was taken aback.
That sounds kind of true.
For fame, for future profits.
Isn't that the underlying message?
Sure enough, private business owners feel bad when they're not making money.
Minister Xu said, "Even if your factory has good facilities, why should I assign such an important task to you?"
Old Zhou was a little confused.
How am I supposed to respond to that?
Wu Changfeng promptly remarked, "The experience of the Americans shows that private enterprises can also become an important part of manufacturing. Take Boeing and other large companies, for example; didn't they develop in this way?"
