Almost all of these masters came from Beiliao, from a variety of companies. Almost all of them came to Wahou to apply for jobs after seeing advertisements on TV and decided to give it a try.
One reason why they were able to stay was the high salary offered by the recruiting company, and another reason was the strong industrial and commercial atmosphere in Wahou.
These two points were beyond their expectations. They had all heard of the Wahou Market, but knew little about the industrial level of Wahou. Although some people had come into contact with the tractors, tricycles and motorcycles produced in Wahou, they still did not expect that the industrial atmosphere here was so strong.
Some of them are veteran workers who have just retired, while others are adventurers who are in their prime and have been put on unpaid leave due to poor performance in their original units.
During this time in Waihou, they heard that the boss was a young man, a very legendary young man, but they did not expect that such a young man would be so powerful. He was too young.
Although these technical experts who are usually very arrogant in their respective units look down on Wan Feng's age, no one shows arrogance in front of Wan Feng.
They knew that Wahou had gone from being a poor mountain village that was no different from any other ordinary rural village to what it is today, and that this young man was behind all of this.
If building a rubber shoe factory or a big market here is not something that these technicians would be impressed by, but a machinery factory that can produce tractors, tricycles and motorcycles will make these people who have been tinkering with machinery for years stunned.
When Luo Zhongxing took them to visit the machinery factory when they first arrived in Wahou, they were so heartbroken.
"Young Factory Manager, everyone in Wahou says that everything in Wahou developed under your guidance. Is this true?"
A relatively young technician asked at the table next to him.
Wan Feng smiled and said, "You can't say that. I just offered some advice. As for development, I haven't even moved a single brick."
It seems like an understatement, but these people all know the meaning behind it.
"That's amazing! I heard that the first project in Wahou was to build a brick and tile factory. I think it was around the summer or autumn of 1980. You were thirteen then, right?"
Wan Feng nodded: "It should be."
"I can only describe you as a genius. No other explanation makes sense."
"Master, you're too kind. I'm actually no different from everyone else, except that I tend to daydream. I often come up with ideas that others would consider to be wild and fantastical. Some of these ideas are simply impossible to realize and are simply wishful thinking, but some, through hard work, practice, and development, can be realized. It's that simple."
Li Da, a level 7 technician sitting across from Wan Feng, spoke up: "People like you dare to think of things others dare not, and work hard to achieve them. This is probably the difference between geniuses and ordinary people."
"Let's not talk about genius or anything like that, young factory manager. What exactly do you want to do by recruiting us? Although we have seen the construction of your large-scale factory delivery room, we don't know what you are going to do specifically, and the person in charge of recruiting us has not told us." Another level seven technician said.
It’s not that Luo Zhongxing and Yan Ling didn’t tell them, but they didn’t know what Wan Feng was going to do.
"That's a good question. This is the focus of my meeting with you all today. When I advertised for you, to be honest, I only had a general idea but hadn't yet finalized what I wanted to do."
"Ah! Why are you hiring people before you've even thought about it?"
Normal people would plan a project first and then look for talents related to the project, but this weirdo looked for people first and then thought about the project.
It all felt unreliable. If this happened to someone else, they would be scolded by these masters, but no one had this idea in front of Wan Feng.
This is probably a reflection of one's soft power.
"That's about right, but not entirely true. I only had a vague idea at the time because I didn't know if I could get the equipment. But now that problem has been solved, I've got the equipment in Wahou."
These masters who have been tinkering with mechanical equipment for years showed interest: "Tell me, what is the project?"
"Come on, keep your cup and chopsticks, Uncle Chen! If even you stop drinking, won't this drinking party be dull? Now the wine is up to you."
Chen Dao picked up the bowl and said, "Everyone, have one."
"Young Factory Director, it's not very decent of you to ask Master Chen to toast you. Even if we get some, we can't beat him. Let him go and cool off."
There was laughter at the table.
Wan Feng snapped his fingers and called the waiter in: "Bring in two packs of the most expensive cigarettes."
The waiter went out and came back with two packs of Da'anshan cigarettes, the most expensive cigarettes in Beiliao store at that time.
Wan Feng opened the cigarette boxes and threw one to each of the seventeen people. There were three boxes left, and Chen Dao and the two seventh-level masters each got one extra box.
"Before discussing specific projects, I'd like to discuss the future direction of our factory. Our new enterprise will focus on machinery production. I envision the development direction starting with motorcycles and tricycles, and eventually expanding into large tractors, trucks, various mining machinery, and even small vehicles. If opportunities arise, we may also expand into the materials field."
The engineers were all dumbfounded. If Wan Feng had only mentioned motorcycles, tricycles, and tractors, they wouldn't have been surprised. Since the machinery factory only made those three products, trucks, and mining machinery wouldn't have surprised them much. Some of them had come from those kinds of units themselves, but what on earth was he talking about? Could it be that the young factory manager was planning to produce cars?
"This is the company's future plan, but plans don't always come to fruition. Right now, the project we're researching and launching is primarily motorcycles, which is our most important project right now."
"Young Factory Manager, let me interject. Are you talking about the motorcycles made at the Wahou Machinery Factory?"
"Haha, if we're making that kind of motorcycle, why would we bother with research? We can just take the specifications and produce it. It has nothing in common with the small motorcycles from the Wahou Machinery Factory."
These masters are confused. The only motorcycles available in the Chinese market now are Jialing 50, Jiangwei 50 and Xingfu Erbaiwu.
It is said that a small motorcycle called Mulan will be launched soon, and Jialing Group is also researching the 70 motorcycle.
What else is there besides these?
"We're going to make a different kind of motorcycle. This kind of motorcycle isn't available in China right now. The production line and technology are from Japan. The equipment is currently in a warehouse in Wahou. I've brought the technical introduction of the product here. The drawings and other materials are still in the warehouse. Everyone can take a look at the project we're about to launch."
Wan Feng bent down and took out a bag from under the table, then pulled out a stack of printed booklets.
These booklets passed around among the masters.
