It is no secret that gasoline engine factories are tinkering with motorcycles; it is all public knowledge.
The young man didn't think it was anything important. Only a fool would trade such public things for a meal. He just happened to not have eaten breakfast yet.
Wan Feng pointed to a restaurant across the street and said, "Let's just go to the door. It's right there. What kind of fragrance is that? Seven-mile Fragrant Osmanthus fragrans! That's it."
The young man collected his remaining two pots of flowers and placed them on a flat plate on the bicycle rack, securing them there. He then followed Wan Feng to the restaurant called Qilixiang.
It's not even eleven o'clock yet, so there aren't too many people in the restaurant.
Wan Feng ordered four main dishes and six glasses of draft beer. After the dishes were served, the three of them started eating.
Eat and chat.
After one drink, both parties exchanged names.
The young man is called Qi Xingcheng, he is 25 years old this year. He took over the gasoline engine factory after his father retired four years ago.
Three months ago, the gasoline engine factory established a motorcycle branch, and he was transferred to work in the branch. However, the branch has been arguing and has not started work yet, so the workers who were transferred to the branch have been idle.
The flowers he sells are the ones his father raised after he retired and had nothing to do. His father saw that he had nothing to do, so he asked him to sell flowers.
This guy has been in the market for a few months and has become quite knowledgeable about Clivia.
However, Wan Feng invited him to drink not to talk about Clivia.
"Brother Qi, you just said that the new leadership at your factory has always been against introducing this project? Can you elaborate on this?"
Qi Xingcheng's face lit up with self-mockery. "This isn't a secret, and there's nothing wrong with talking about it. Every unit has its conflicts within its leadership, but it's rare to see such deep-seated conflicts within our factory's leadership. They're no longer internal conflicts among the people, but have escalated into conflicts between us and the enemy, like a deep-seated blood feud. The previous factory director advocated for the introduction of this motorcycle technology, but the former deputy director, now the new director, was adamantly opposed. Whether I was right or wrong, I was against it. Just think about it, if the previous director was transferred and he took over, how could this project still succeed?"
Wan Feng understood. This was just like the party elections in those Western democratic countries. When one party was in power, the other party would do everything in its power to obstruct and disrupt the other party's policy agenda, create trouble for you and hold you back in order to achieve their goal of getting the other party out of power.
Regardless of whether the decision made by the ruling party is right or wrong, I will oppose it. If it is right, I will oppose smearing and obstruction, and if it is wrong, I will oppose it even more resolutely.
Just oppose for the sake of opposing.
Therefore, in Western countries, it is often strange that a small project takes several years, dozens of years or even decades to build.
When the ruling party's term is up and the opposition party comes to power, all decisions made by the previous ruling party, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, will be overturned. I will come up with my own set of rules.
This has left their societies in a state of stagnation and serious internal strife.
This created a vicious cycle. The West was clearly ahead of China for decades or even hundreds of years, but was caught up with and even surpassed by China in just thirty years.
This is the difference in results caused by different systems.
Later, the West also discovered the fatal weaknesses of their system, but they could not let go of their sense of superiority and were too obsessed with face to admit the flaws of their own system. Instead, they used the discourse power they held to fiercely attack China's system, and put all kinds of labels such as dark, dictatorial, undemocratic and unfree on China's head like snowflakes.
But it was of no use. After their self-deceiving rhetoric failed, they realized that China's rise was unstoppable.
Unfortunately, something happened to Wan Feng in his previous life at this moment, and he did not see the day when Hua Guo would rule the world.
Fortunately, he was reborn, which allowed him to once again be part of the wave of China's revival and make corresponding contributions compared to his previous life.
The current situation at the Changchun Gasoline Engine Factory is just like an election in the West. Now that the former factory director is gone, the opposition will naturally deny all the achievements of their predecessor. Even if the projects left behind by the predecessor can benefit the workers, they will resolutely deny them.
If this project can only prove the greatness of his predecessor and highlight his incompetence, it would be strange if he supports it.
"So your project is going to be stillborn?"
"That's about right. Now the equipment is just sitting in the warehouse. No one cares about it, and there's no sign of it being installed, researched, or put into production."
"Wouldn't the country's investment be wasted?"
"This project was not initiated by the government, but was invested and introduced by our factory ourselves."
Huh? How could this be?
A factory independently invested in and introduced foreign technology? That's quite a feat.
How were they successfully introduced? Where did they get the foreign exchange?
However, this is not the problem that Wan Feng needs to consider. It has nothing to do with him what channels others use to introduce the technology. What he needs to consider is whether it is possible to buy this production line and technology.
Since it was introduced through independent investment, he has the possibility to move these technologies and production lines to Wahou.
"So your factory has the potential to handle these devices?"
Qi Xingcheng shook his head: "There is no sign of this yet, but one thing is certain: even if the factory does not deal with these devices, it will not allow them to be put into use."
"Eat, eat, don't stop. Talking doesn't interfere with eating. Come on, Brother Qi, let's go!"
Wan Feng picked up his cup and clinked it with Qi Xingcheng's.
This guy can drink a lot. He can talk clearly after two big cups.
"So how much did your factory spend on these technologies and production lines, which you raised funds to introduce?"
"I don't know the exact amount, but it's said to be over five million."
Damn, more than five million. If the other party is willing to sell it, he can’t afford it!
The possibility of these devices being disposed of is very large, and they always need to recover funds, right?
More than five million is not a small amount. It is 100% borrowed from the bank. Once the bank asks for payment, you have to repay the loan.
Wan Feng knew that when the Clivia craze came to fruition two months later, banks in Changchun City had added Clivia loans.
This is also a huge investment. If the gasoline engine factory had put these equipment into operation, the bank would not have any idea about the amount. Now if you buy this thing and leave it in the warehouse to rust, the bank will definitely have an opinion and may even come to your door to ask for money.
Then the best thing to do for gasoline engines is to dispose of the equipment and return the money to the bank.
All he has to do now is prepare his money.
His current assets are only over 3 million. Luan Feng did not explain how much he earned in the first few months after returning to Wa because of the rush of time, but it was only 500,000 or 600,000. Adding up all his assets now, it is about 3.6 to 3.7 million, which is obviously not enough!
Unless you deal with the seedlings in two months, that will be enough.
