Ling Xuan was delighted to hear Sister Xiao Ning praise him so much and smiled, "The Ling family's hotels are spread across many countries. I've been involved in hotel management since I was a child, so I'm quite experienced, which is why I'm able to do it quite smoothly. You gave me a lot of advice on the Shenzhen hotel, which is why I'm doing so well."
Managing a hotel is very different from managing a factory, and I still have a lot to learn. I also really enjoy building factories. Starting with piling on a vacant lot and then building a factory piece by piece, from scratch, there's so much to learn. I've learned a lot from participating in the construction of this glass factory, and it's been incredibly beneficial.
Once the glass factory reopens, I'll have to check out the hotels. I've been in Haizhou for too long."
Ye Shuning also knew that Ling Xuan had a lot of work to do. Now that the Ling family's business had gradually been handed over to Ling Xuan, there were many things that needed Ling Xuan's attention. This time, Ling Xuan had been delayed in Haizhou for too long because of the construction of the glass factory.
Li Shaozhong said, "After you hand over the work to Jingwen, you can go back to your work. You should also check out the hotels in Shenzhou. But have you ever thought about building a hotel in Haizhou? You can open multiple chain hotels in the mainland in the future. With the economic development of the mainland, the catering and hotel service industry will surely develop rapidly. You should seize this opportunity."
Ling Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Third brother, what you said makes sense. It's really feasible to open a hotel in Haizhou, just build it in Jiangdong."
Ye Shuning said, "I think Haizhou is so big, one is not enough. We should build at least two. We can build one in the old city first, and then build one in Jiangdong. We can choose a location first. In the old city, we can demolish the old buildings and build a new hotel. In Jiangdong, it will be easier. We can just choose a vacant lot. It won't cost much to buy land."
The three of them discussed the location of the hotel while eating.
There is construction going on in many places in Jiangdong now, and it is a busy scene everywhere. People with vision can foresee that Jiangdong will develop rapidly and become prosperous in the future.
Ye Shuning and Li Shaozhong both understood the future development trends and knew that Jiangdong would develop even better than the old city. Therefore, Ling Xuan would definitely make money by building a hotel in Jiangdong.
Ye Shuning said, "Not only can we open a hotel, we can also work together to build a commercial district, and then attract foreign investment. We can sell shops or rent them out. By then, we will be able to make a lot of money just from rent."
Ling Xuan felt that when he was with Xiao Ning and Third Brother Li, he could often hear them come up with many good ideas, which often made him feel enlightened. This was one of the reasons why he really enjoyed being with them.
But he has other work to do, so he has to leave Haizhou for a while.
Ling Xuan said, "Since Engineer Yan is the director of the glass factory, I will hand over some of the work to him. I will go to inspect the hotel after the factory is up and running."
Li Shaozhong swallowed his food, took a sip of soup, and said, "No need. We are here. Just hand over your work and go inspect your hotel. You have been in Haizhou for quite a while. It's time to go home and have a look."
I'm just discussing building a hotel in Haizhou with Uncle Ling and the others. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Jiangdong will develop quickly, and land prices will rise accordingly. You have to seize the opportunity."
Ling Xuan nodded. "I understand. After I hand over my work to Director Yan, I'll go back to Nangang. I think my grandfather and father will definitely support this proposal. Then I'll come back as soon as possible to select sites for the two hotels."
Ye Shuning smiled and said, "Now you'll be busy again."
Ling Xuan really enjoyed staying in Haizhou. It was a bustling city, more open than other inland cities. He got along well with the Li family. Most importantly, he learned a lot and gained a lot of experience here.
If a hotel is built in Haizhou in the future, he can stay in Haizhou more often.
Since Yan Jingwen has decided to be the director of Mingyao Glass Factory, he will do his best to live up to the trust of Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning.
Yan Jingwen also began to enrich himself purposefully, as he felt he still had a lot to learn, especially in management.
He shared his idea with Li Shaozhong, who then gave him some information on management knowledge, which Li Shaozhong had copied after finding it in Ye Shuning's space.
Li Shaozhong said, "These materials are very valuable. Some are internal documents of major foreign companies. If you take a good look, you can learn a lot. Many state-owned factories in China have rigid management mechanisms and bloated subsidiary organizations, which will be very disadvantageous for the future development of the market economy."
We must take a new path, think more flexibly, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of workers, work hard to innovate products, and produce products that cater to the market.
Our first priority is to produce automotive glass, aiming to replace most of the imported auto glass market within the next few years and achieve domestic production of auto glass. This will significantly reduce the cost of automobiles."
Yan Jingwen asked, "So you've already developed qualified automotive glass? Can it be industrialized?"
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "Xiao Ning started researching automotive glass as early as when Haizhou Automobile Factory was negotiating with foreign automobile manufacturers. We already have mature technology, and we can realize industrialized production once the glass factory is built.
I mentioned earlier that I wanted to build several machinery factories around Haizhou. One would produce machine tools and other mechanical equipment, and another would produce auto parts. Surrounding the existing Haizhou Auto Factory, we would gradually localize auto parts. When the time is right, we would build our own auto factory and truly realize the localization of sedans.
Yan Jingwen was also excited when he heard Li Shaozhong's plan, but a car has tens of thousands of parts, especially the core component of the car engine, it is very difficult to achieve independent research and development and production.
"Shaozhong, the engine of a car is the key. Many domestic research institutes are researching engines. You know how difficult this is. It's not a tough nut to crack."
Li Shaozhong nodded. "Yes, the engine has always been a big problem, but I am confident. In fact, after I found out Xiao Ning's whereabouts and found a way to go to Nangang, I have been trying to collect information and research the engine. Xiao Ning has always supported me. I have accumulated a lot of experience and have made great breakthroughs.
Next, I will establish a dedicated engine research team at Qixing to continue researching engines. No matter how difficult it is, we must keep doing research. One day, we will develop our own engine."
Li Shaozhong would certainly not tell Yan Jingwen that he had mastered more advanced technology and it was only a matter of time before they developed their own engine.
This needs to be done step by step, not all at once, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.
