Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Although Li Huaide is only at the deputy director level now, after all, all those present are his former subordinates and have shown great kindness to Zhang Renkang. Liu Feng was originally the director of a small factory that could not continue to operate after being taken over by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He was not even a deputy director.

Although Qian Minghua was transferred from the Ministry of Industry, he and Li Huaide were acquaintances because they had worked together in the Industrial and Commercial Reform Group after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

He was the oldest among the people present, so he took the main seat.

After everyone finished drinking, Li Huaide smiled and said to Zhang Renkang

"Don't think that you are exhausted as a dog these past two days. For you, this will be your greatest amulet from now on."

"Who dares to touch you?"

"Your coming back means your superiors are very satisfied with you."

"Others are too envious to even notice it, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to be so sullen."

Zhang Renkang explained with a bitter face and shook his head.

"Envy, who is envious?"

"50% chance, either you come out or you don't come out anymore"

Zhang Renkang turned his head and looked at Li Huaide and smiled and said

"The several sets of equipment your factory needs will be transported to Tianjin next month."

"Now that Hong Kong has agreed to open a route to Tianjin with us, it is an opportunity for the North, as it reduces the cost of transshipment from Shanghai."

"I calculated that I saved 10% of the cost."

Li Huaide thought for a while and said with a smile

"Since the industrial chain transformation plan you submitted has been approved, your factory's next move should consider us more."

"I don't quite understand why you don't take your Xinxing Automobile Factory as the core and make us all your branches. Isn't this better than cooperation?"

Li Huaide couldn't understand why Zhang Renkang spent all his money and effort.

After all, no matter how well other units are renovated, it has little to do with their new star, and it will benefit others instead.

Unappreciated

Zhang Renkang smiled, but Liu Feng explained

"Secretary Li, you can't say that."

“We have a weak foundation, especially limited management and technical talent.”

“It’s been three years since the factory was built. Although we now have a certain scale and assets, our strength and foundation are still there.”

"As a result, we will have to bear all their consumption and expenses, and coordinate the production indicators and management of so many units. It is too much for us to bear."

"On one hand, Secretary Zhang meant that if we contribute a little money to assist them in management, at least we will gain friendship and gratitude from them."

"Moreover, each of the selected units with certain processing capabilities has stable management personnel. It is better to cooperate for mutual benefit than to force a merger."

Li Huaide and Qian Minghua were in awe, especially Qian Minghua, who was unaware of Zhang Renkang's thoughts. In the factory, Qian Minghua kept in mind the instructions of the old leader and cooperated with Zhang Renkang in all work. Apart from the affairs of the trade union, he did not fight for power.

He did not know as much as Liu Feng about Zhang Renkang's deployment and strategic thinking.

After hearing what Liu Feng said, Qian Minghua suddenly admired Zhang Renkang. It took a lot of maturity to resist the temptation.

Liu Feng's meaning was actually very clear. There were different factions behind these units. Forcing them to merge into the factory not only brought disputes to the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant, but also offended many factions.

But now it is different. Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Factory does not pursue their management rights and autonomy. It only helps them improve their production technology level in the name of cooperation to meet the production requirements of Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Factory and innovate them according to Xinxing's standards. This not only helps the secretaries and directors of these factories to increase their political achievements, but also invisibly attracts their support for Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Factory from the backstage.

In the future, will they have the nerve to refuse to approve some of the applications and reports from Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing?

Li Huaide said with a smile

"Renkang, you..."

"I really don't know how a young person can understand this person's mind so clearly."

“Even I am ashamed of myself for this skill.”

"Come and drink"

Qian Minghua also smiled and said

"Secretary Renkang is thoughtful"

"The factory has grown bigger and bigger in recent years, all thanks to Renkang."

As time went by, Qian Minghua became more and more familiar with Zhang Renkang and others, and began to call Renkang

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Old Qian, there is no one else like him"

"I definitely have some credit, but you all have it too."

"It was Brother Li who supported our development in the beginning. The first batch of materials for Xinxing was provided by Brother Li."

“Without your support, we probably wouldn’t be here today.”

Zhang Renkang was originally ordered to establish the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant based on the machine repair plant. At that time, the machine repair plant was short of funds and materials. It was Li Huaide who allocated him 500,000 yuan in funds and a large amount of materials before the machine repair plant was separated from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill system.

This is also the reason why the reorganization of the machine repair factory went smoothly. With money and materials, the workers naturally cooperated and their enthusiasm was high.

Li Huaide still couldn't figure it out

"Renkang, you have to clear up my confusion for me."

"You guys went to Hong Kong Island to open a factory. How can John be so generous?"

"The superiors actually agreed?"

"Tell me the ins and outs of this."

"I've been thinking about it over and over again, but I just can't figure it out."

Zhang Renkang explained with a smile

“I didn’t expect this to be so easy to accomplish.”

"I estimate that the negotiations will take at least two years."

"When the production capacity of the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant is increased, the excess capacity will be sent to Hong Kong Island in the form of parts for assembly and then sold."

"But the production tasks in the factory workshops are still far from meeting the requirements."

“We need to rethink how to build and position this factory.”

"At the beginning, I just thought that it would be fruitless for us to develop cars behind closed doors, especially since our domestic engine, gearbox, chassis technology and automotive culture are weak."

“We want to use Hong Kong as a medium to introduce advanced ideas and technical solutions from outside, especially the Western car culture needs to be more developed.”

"There is a strong racing atmosphere, and some advanced technical solutions are developed and improved based on the experience gained from racing events."

"It is a great boost for us to grasp first-class technology and develop first-class products."

Zhang Renkang took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and smiled.

"Now that John is so enthusiastic, we are caught off guard."

"If you don't move for a long time, you will inevitably miss the opportunity."

"My idea is to have the Ministry of Industry take the lead and work with several domestic automobile production units to jointly set up a factory on Hong Kong Island and build an exhibition hall to showcase our industrialization achievements."

“This will break the world’s perception of our backwardness.”

"Technologically speaking, we lag behind the world mainstream, so we are not afraid of having people visit us, but we can also invite others to participate in the exhibition."

“Learn from others’ experience and introduce others’ technological achievements to promote our own progress”

Zhang Renkang was thinking about this on the way

Combined with the future auto show method, not only should we set up an automobile production center in Hong Kong Island, but also a research and development center. After all, the current domestic situation is special, and it is probably not very suitable to attract external talents to China.

The best way is to set up a research and development branch in Hong Kong Island. As part of the free world ruled by the Johns, it is easier for these Western talents to adapt to the environment than in China.
