708: Chapter 708: Aweso, My Bro!
The setting sun was like blood.
Alarm sirens wailed, and warning lights flashed.
In the lively factory area, peace finally returned as the domineering fleet departed.
Following the departure of the police cars stationed outside the factory, cheers erupted from behind Wu Jie.
Suddenly!
Wu Jie was hoisted into the air, thrown skyward amidst the cheers over and over again.
It was as if he had won a monuntal victory!
Fang Qingya did not join in; she and so other female employees stood aside, watching with great excitent.
Too aweso!
Too impressive!
Tianyuan Green Energy Auto, established for quite so ti, had always been unknown and obscure.
Fang Qingya once thought that the company would continue to operate in an ordinary and unremarkable fashion.
Even though the vehicles had attractive designs, advanced and practical configurations, and decent manufacturing processes…
Ultimately, due to the limitations of battery performance, sales would not be optimistic, struggling to win the favor of the general public.
And this was the typical “barrel effect.”
How much water a barrel can hold depends on its shortest plank.
Similarly, the ultimate performance of an electric vehicle depends on the quality of its battery.
Thus, they were fated to be lukewarm like other electric vehicle companies.
Even facing the prospect of expenses outweighing inco and, ultimately, closure.
But who could have imagined…
With Wu Jie’s arrival, there was a groundbreaking shift.
The Graphene Composite Battery instantly bridged their proverbial shortfall.
Moreover, the innovative concept of battery-exchange stations was introduced, which solved the economic and practical aspects as well.
Today.
So many leaders and experts ca for an inspection.
Through hands-on test rides, personal driving experience, and intense technical Q&A…
Wu Jie had thoroughly cleared the way through policies, ensuring no restrictions or issues.
He had single-handedly carved a bloody path for the company, winning a radiant future!
What the company was poised to tap into was a colossal market worth trillions!
Battery-electric vehicles, priced between two or three hundred thousand a piece; selling just ten thousand would equate to billions in sales.
A hundred thousand would be twenty or thirty billion, a million, ten million…
With over a hundred million vehicles in the nation, just imagine the sum involved!
Plus, after selling the cars, they could continue profiting from spare parts sales.
Furthermore, standardizing and modularizing Graphene Composite Batteries could bring profit by selling to other automotive companies.
And those battery-exchange stations, they were akin to 24-hour printing presses, tirelessly churning out money.
Envisioning the glowing future left Fang Qingya utterly enchanted.
Excited!
Thrilled!
Frenetic!
She was dying to throw her arms up and let out a mighty roar.
However, the wild celebration didn’t last long.
After Wu Jie called it off, he imdiately summoned an office-wide eting on-site.
The future was bright and beautiful, but the work would be arduous and daunting.
First and foremost.
The problem at hand was obtaining certification.
Whether it was Graphene Composite Batteries or various electric car models, production licenses were a must for going to market.
Therefore, they had to complete internal testing and enhancents swiftly, finalize the models, and pass the regulatory inspections.
During this process, it was crucial to finalize production techniques, assembly procedures, and quality control systems to prepare for mass production.
Moreover, the concept of battery-exchange stations was novel and would require construction nationwide.
Decisions on how to build, operate, and secure them, alongside the necessary equipnt and workflows, had to be professional and standardized.
…
Next.
In electric vehicles, the most critical aspects—the battery and the vehicle’s appearance—must be patent-protected.
Post-launch, the battery would surely be disassembled and studied by competitors and subjected to reverse engineering.
While Wu Jie could keep the production process and formula confidential, patent protection was equally imperative to prevent unauthorized use and infringent.
And the three vehicle designs of the company were masterpieces labored over with dedication by Fang Qingya and her wealthy peers.
They had to secure patents, or else, once on the market, designers from certain companies would undoubtedly capture and asure them to quickly produce high-quality replicas.
…
Lastly.
Since esteed leaders like Tan and nurous experts felt excellent about their test drives,
it was unquestionable that the company’s electric vehicles would have no trouble finding buyers.
Therefore, Tianyuan Green Energy Auto had to expand its current production scale, technical equipnt, and talent pool both qualitatively and quantitatively.
It also had to swiftly establish a three-tiered sales and service system at the provincial, city, and county levels across the country.
…
Beyond this.
There was a multitude of other tasks, such as maintaining a substantial reserve of key core components and having backup suppliers.
In case of issues with suppliers, replacents had to be facilitated promptly.
For the costlier parts, independent research or market strategies were needed to reduce prices.
Lowering costs ant increasing profits.
A battery-electric vehicle priced between two or three hundred thousand, if costs could be efficiently cut by a thousand, would yield an extra thousand in profit.
And while small-scale production of a few dozen units might be problem-free,
what about consistently maintaining quality when producing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of units a month?
They couldn’t comnce grand sales celebrations, only to swiftly deteriorate to recalls and poor reputation due to various defects and malfunctions.
That indeed would be a major embarrassnt.
…
The eting continued on-site until dark.
Fang Qingya couldn’t help but admire Wu Jie wholeheartedly.
Three days and nights without sleep!
And yet he stood strong!
Moreover, he could still think clearly, have a flexible mind, and plan for the future with great foresight.
What was even more astonishing…
After the eting ended, he joined various departnts in identifying issues on-site and providing suggestions for improvent.
He ensured that the departnts knew what to do and what their future work plans were.
Following along the entire way, Fang Qingya’s legs grew weak, and her back ached.
She desperately wanted to lie in bed and sleep soundly.
But think about resting?
Wishful thinking!
While the employees could leave, Wu Jie kept Fang Qingya and Huo Bin behind to discuss over dinner in the cafeteria.
He laid out plans for production managent, materials procurent, market sales, and technological confidentiality, among other aspects.
And the summary of it all was one word—”recruitnt.”
The current managent team simply couldn’t et the future’s demands.
Since it aid to beco one of the top 500 enterprises in the world, it was essential to have a professional and high-quality managent team.
But the regrettable thing was…
Wu Jie lacked experience in managent.
Moreover, there were no managent skills available in the system mall.
Why?
Managent is directed at people, at flesh and blood humans with emotions.
Managent experience is accumulated day by day through work, not sothing you can learn by reading a few dozen books.
Just like a teacher can’t graduate from a normal school and imdiately beco a great teacher.
One must interact with students in the long course of teaching work, explore and summarize in actual teaching practice, and accumulate rich experience before one can beco an excellent teacher.
Therefore, managent skills are not like driving, cooking, flying, and other skills that one can quickly possess after exchanging them.
Wu Jie could only raise, one after another, the issues he had seen and learned at Tanglong Industrial Group.
As for how to solve them?
Fang Qingya’s thod was straightforward, to directly seek out Tang Xiao.
After all, Wu Jie held a 49% shareholding, equivalent to Tanglong Industrial Group having control.
With a business generating annual revenues of hundreds of billions, Tang Xiao couldn’t possibly ignore it.
…
Finally!
Fang Qingya had waited and waited, and finally, the end ca.
And by this ti, it was past eight in the evening.
Fang Qingya was genuinely worried that Wu Jie, having not slept for three days and nights, might fall asleep at the wheel and have an accident.
So she took the initiative and offered to drive him back herself.
Once they got into the Audi,
Fang Qingya had thought that Wu Jie would drop his act, reveal his true exhausted self, and lie down to sleep.
But what happened?
Wu Jie took out his laptop and began to busy himself again.
“Oh my God!
You…
aren’t you tired, dear?
After not sleeping for three days and nights, are you made of iron?”
Fang Qingya couldn’t contain her curiosity and turned her head to ask in shock.
Wu Jie simply smiled lightly.
“Tired?
Haven’t you heard the saying?”
“Why sleep longer in life when after death, one will sleep forever!
In short, there will be plenty of ti to sleep after death!”
In the midst of the banter, Wu Jie’s fingers flew over the keyboard as he got busy once again.
Upon seeing this, Fang Qingya instantly rolled her eyes and shook her head in succession.
“I am really at my wits’ end with you!”
“Such fighting spirit, your wife Tang Xiao must be so happy!”
She made a joke, but Wu Jie turned a deaf ear.
Feeling awkward, Fang Qingya laughed it off and started up Wu Jie’s Audi S8, slowly driving away from the company.
Before leaving, they still went through a check.
There was no choice!
Possessing the Graphene Composite Battery that could affect national economic developnt, the company had been marked as a key protection target.
If it weren’t for Wu Jie’s strong opposition, Tan would have even arranged for guards to protect him around the clock.
As tough as I am, do I need guards for protection?
Should they accompany to the toilet as well?
The very thought made refuse.
Vroom!
Once the Audi S8 left the company premises, it suddenly accelerated.
In the dark night, it shot like a streak of light towards the bustling city center.
…
Tianyuan Haoting.
The Rural Dishes restaurant had seen even better business these past couple of days.
But Zhang Yong and his wife couldn’t quite delight in it.
The reason…
Many custors were coming in groups of in-laws and relatives.
The dining was secondary; the main purpose was to arrange a blind date with their son, Zhang Hao.
The family conditions of the suitors were one better than the next.
The girls were prettier than the last, and many were well-educated and sensible, not minding that Zhang Hao was uneducated, a rough man from a rural area, or that he had no house, no car, no savings.
They demanded no dowry, nor any material conditions.
At the start, the couple was pleased.
After all, Zhang Hao had been single for years, and they had always wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but poverty made it difficult.
Now that prospective brides were thronging to their door, it felt like their threshold was about to be worn down.
Did Zhang Hao start a run of good luck with won after getting mixed up with that witch Joy?
However…
Zhang Yong and his wife noticed.
Actually, these people ca for blind dates not really for Zhang Hao, but rather to climb the social ladder.
Everyone knew that Zhang Hao was Wu Jie’s good brother, and Wu Jie was the son-in-law of the Tianyuan Tang Family…
A simple blind date turned into sothing else.
And since it was a blind date, it wouldn’t be proper to make the girl pay, right?
They couldn’t serve poor dishes either, and had to offer good food and drinks.
One or two groups might have been fine to treat,
But after so many, was the money earned ant to be squandered on these strangers’ food and drinks?
If word got out, and all future custors claid they were there for a blind date with Zhang Hao, where would that leave them?
Would the restaurant still make money, or would it just serve as a spot for others to freeload?
Don’t bla the country folks for being stingy; there were just too many suitors.
Tonight was even more outrageous!
Five tables arrived at the sa ti, the whole families turned out, filling up the big round tables.
Signature and special dishes were ordered generously, beverages and alcohol flowed freely; each table’s bill was at least two to three thousand.
Were they to treat these people for free, again?
The couple couldn’t take it anymore and directly called their ‘prospective daughter-in-law’ Joy back.
Although they previously felt Joy was like a siren, utterly unreliable, and that no good would co of her association with Zhang Hao,
They now felt sowhat better about Joy.
At least by calling her back to serve as a shield for the ti being, to put off the suitors, seed quite good.
At nine in the evening,
They finally sent off the last table of ‘matchmaking’ guests.
Zhang Hao finally managed to persuade his parents to go ho after much talking.
Just when he was considering whether to go out with Joy for the night, a staff mber inford him that a custor was looking for him.
Thinking it was another suitor, Zhang Hao imdiately rushed over in a fury.
Before he even reached the cashier, he saw a woman, her eyes brimming with tears, rushing towards him.
With a thud, she knelt before him…
