Wang Chao was getting a little anxious.
What exactly is the problem?
The boss really thinks highly of you!
Wang Chao asked, "Boss Zuo, what's your problem? Is it technical or financial?"
Zuo Dong said, "There shouldn't be any technical problems. The main issue is funding. To be honest, I've invested all my savings in Yamaha engines."
"And your demand is almost to develop a completely new engine."
"This is no small expense."
"Of course, I know that saying this will almost certainly eliminate our chances of cooperation. What kind of client would give me money to do research and development and then make the purchases? I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a good thing."
Wang Chao glanced at Wu Changfeng.
Wu Changfeng smiled and said, "That's something we can think about."
"What!" Zuo Dongteng stood up, quite excited: "So, you'll sponsor me with some money?"
Wu Changfeng nodded very firmly: "Five hundred thousand. You develop it for me and then supply me with a stable supply."
"Too much, too much!" Zuo Dong didn't know what to say and rambled on, "What I mean is, we don't need this much."
“I’m really afraid that if I take the money and then fail to get it done, Mr. Wu, you’ll suffer a huge loss.”
Wu Changfeng said he didn't care, "You're a motorcycle engine tycoon with a net worth of billions in the future, you're bound to achieve something."
If he didn't have a cheat code, no one would dare to give him money in advance to do research.
After all, in this day and age, we've never heard of a customer paying upfront to demand that a manufacturer develop products and then providing them with R&D funding.
This situation almost always occurs in the defense sector; it's quite rare in the private market.
But Wu Changfeng was truly out of options.
Other major state-owned enterprises wouldn't take the job, so Zuo Dong could only be considered as a backup option, and they were forced to accept it.
Wu Changfeng said, "It doesn't matter how much or how little, I'm not short of money. What I need is an engine, you understand?"
“If you put all your effort into research and development but still can’t make it work, then our cooperation ends here. I’ll find someone else, or I can just order it from abroad.”
This really spurred Zuo Dong into a frenzy. His eyes widened. "We don't need it! Absolutely not! We're not lacking in technology! I'll risk everything to provide you with a qualified engine! Don't go looking for foreigners. They're making all the money, it's not good!"
"Okay!" Wu Changfeng stood up: "Then I'll be counting on you. I'll have the company transfer the funds to you. Get ready for research and development and give me the product as soon as possible."
Zuo Dong nodded firmly: "Then I'll risk my life to make you pay."
Wu Changfeng said, "This is a win-win cooperation."
Zuo Dong laughed heartily: "That's right, cooperation and win-win. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner, let's try our local specialty hot pot, please don't refuse."
The three of them indulged in a feast at a hot pot restaurant.
They then discussed other details.
After a drinking session, Zuo Dong collapsed first.
He had no choice but to ask the shop assistants to carry him back.
Wu Changfeng and Wang Chao stayed at the hotel for one night.
They set off for home the next day.
On the way, Wang Chao said with some worry, "Boss, what if this guy runs away after we just give him the money?"
Wu Changfeng smiled: "Isn't it too late to bring this up now?"
Wang Chao shrugged.
"As the saying goes, if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. We're still counting on Zuo Dong to provide us with a large number of engines."
"You know, compared to 500,000, long-term supply is where the real profits lie. If you were in that situation, what would you choose?"
Wang Chao chuckled and said, "I choose to take the money and run away."
Wu Changfeng was amused: "Clean and efficient, haha."
After returning to Jiangcheng, the two did not go back to Chishui County first, but instead went to the land of the Jiangcheng R&D Center and their residence.
At this moment, the place is bustling with activity.
Workers are working diligently on construction.
Building materials were piled up everywhere.
The portly manager, wearing a hard hat, gestured and walked back and forth on the construction site.
"Fatty!" Wang Chao shouted.
The two were of equal rank, so they didn't need to use their titles when addressing each other.
The portly manager turned around and saw Wu Changfeng and Wang Chao, and hurriedly ran over: "Oh, what an honor to have you here! It's an honor to have you here!"
The portly manager led Wu Changfeng and Wang Chao around to look at the place.
The foundation is complete, and we've started adding floors.
Wang Chao asked, "Is there anything else you need? I'll have the purchasing agent expedite it for you."
The chubby manager stroked his chin: "We need some cement here to pave the road surface and build the fence. I submitted the procurement request several days ago but there's been no progress. Could you help me urge them?"
Wang Chao felt embarrassed. "I was just being polite. You actually said that to the boss's face?"
Just mention it in private.
Wu Changfeng glanced at Wang Chao.
Wang Chao quickly replied, "I'll arrange it for you as soon as I get back. Maybe the staff bought too many things, which caused the delay."
The portly manager said, "Hurry up, this paved surface makes it easy for vehicles to come and go. Otherwise, we'll bring mud everywhere, and the city management will keep coming to cause trouble, saying that the trucks are polluting the main road of Jiangcheng."
Wang Chao rolled his eyes: "Definitely, definitely."
After walking around, the three returned to the construction site office.
The temporary shelters were drafty in some places.
Wu Changfeng remarked with emotion, "You've worked hard."
The fat manager didn't care at all: "I've stayed in places that were worse than this, this is much better."
Wu Changfeng drank some tea and then said, "If you're not too busy here, take some time to go home. We need to build a factory there, and this time it will be even bigger. We'll be producing agricultural tricycles."
"What about the funding?" The chubby manager wasn't complaining about the hard work, but rather that with the funding in place, everything could be arranged clearly and efficiently.
