After nearly a week of hard work, Feng Haidong's cart was finally finished.
The edges and corners of the cart, as well as some welding points, were polished.
Tang Anguo even installed two small doors and a drawer on one side of the cart, and also provided Feng Haidong with a lock so that he could lock the cabinet doors and drawers to prevent the things inside from being stolen.
Tang Anguo also bumped into the wheel of the cart, but he could step on it to hold the wheel in place and keep the cart stationary.
Feng Haidong was truly amazed when he received such a stroller.
“Brother Tang, your skills are still so good. With such skills, you will definitely not go hungry in the future. If the factory really goes out of business, listen to me and open a small shop to make these kinds of pushcarts. I think your business will definitely do well.”
When Feng Haidong saw the cart that Tang Anguo had welded for him, he suddenly envisioned a path for Tang Anguo in his mind.
That means opening a small shop to take on all kinds of welding jobs.
We can weld these kinds of trolleys for people, and in the future we can also undertake welding of steel windows, steel doors and billboards.
If you expand your business and reputation in the future, you might even be able to start your own company and take on some of the projects in the city's infrastructure planning.
In his excitement, Feng Haidong also mentioned some things that would happen in the future.
Tang Anguo was stunned. After a long while, he came to his senses and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Hahaha, Haidong, you really dare to think this far ahead. You're even thinking about the 21st century?"
Feng Haidong also realized that he had indeed said too much, and many of the things he said were still too advanced for his time.
However, he quickly laughed it off and said, "The 21st century is just around the corner, so we need to have a long-term vision. Brother Tang, you can trust me."
Tang Anguo had been helping Feng Haidong weld carts these past few days, chatting with him while working, and was gradually being persuaded by Feng Haidong's ideas.
Now, after listening to the path Feng Haidong had planned for him, Tang Anguo felt that the latter part was too far-fetched.
However, Tang Anguo felt that the first part was definitely worth a try.
So he smiled and said to Feng Haidong, "Okay, if the factory really doesn't work out, I'll listen to you and open a small shop to do welding. But Haidong, you'll have to come and help your brother out then, I don't know anything about doing business."
Seeing that Tang Anguo had listened to what he had said these past few days, Feng Haidong said happily, "No problem, I'll make time to help Brother Tang when I have time."
Tang Anguo smiled and nodded, then looked at the cart and asked, "Haidong, how are you going to get this cart back?"
Feng Haidong said confidently, "I'll ride my bicycle and push you back later."
Tang Anguo asked with some doubt, "Will that work? It's not a short walk from the factory to your home."
Feng Haidong said, "No problem. We specially reinforced the wheels before, and we used good new wheels. If it can't even be pushed home, how am I supposed to push it out to do business in the future?"
Tang Anguo nodded and said, "That's true, but you have to be careful on the road if you're riding a bicycle and pushing this bike."
Feng Haidong agreed, saying, "Okay, Brother Tang, I understand. I'll leave now, so I don't miss the lunch break when it gets crowded on the road."
Tang Anguo said, "Yes, yes, let's push it back now. Otherwise, it's not good if other people in the factory see it."
Feng Haidong didn't care at all: "We've been working together for so many days, we know what we need to know, there's nothing wrong with that. I've already spoken to Director Nian."
Tang Anguo laughed and said, "So Haidong, you're quite resourceful, aren't you? Only you dared to tell Factory Director Nian this directly. I doubt anyone else would have dared to."
Feng Haidong said, "There's nothing wrong with saying this. We didn't use any materials from the factory. We used scrap materials, and we bought all the important parts ourselves. If they come to the conclusion, I'll just pay the factory for those welding rods."
Tang Anguo said, "You really don't need to pay for the welding rods. I didn't use the factory's welding rods; I used the ones I had saved up myself."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "That's fine then. Brother Tang, I'll push the cart back first. When I officially set up my stall, you and your wife can bring our nephew to try my cooking."
Tang Anguo nodded in agreement: "Okay, we'll definitely come and support you then."
Without wasting any time, Feng Haidong pushed the welded cart away.
Although he had informed the factory manager, Feng Haidong was still stopped by the gatekeeper when he swaggered out of the factory pushing a cart.
Left with no other option, Feng Haidong had to wait at the gate and have the gatekeeper call the factory manager's office to inquire.
Not long after the gatekeeper finished making the call, it wasn't Director Nian who arrived, but rather a deputy director from the factory.
When Feng Haidong saw the deputy factory director rushing over in a hurry, his expression immediately changed.
He felt a pang of helplessness: How could he have forgotten about him? This guy is now the deputy factory director; it's really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road today.
The deputy factory manager is named Lin Youzhi. He seems to care a lot about his fellow workers, has a strong sense of belonging to the factory, and is also very righteous.
But in reality, Feng Haidong knew very well that this guy was a complete hypocrite.
In his previous life, when the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, Lin Youzhi seized the opportunity to use his power to transfer a lot of the factory's assets, and later used those assets as his own capital.
After the factory went bankrupt, he was the first to return to the subcontracted workshop.
Leveraging his reputation built up in the factory, he traveled around persuading most of his former coworkers to return and help him.
