Chapter 94 Ice Village
Xu Zhiquan picked up the teapot and took a big sip, then straightened up and said:
"The machinery factory has begun to liquidate internally. I contacted Boss Huang yesterday and asked about the situation.
Looking at it now, winning this machinery factory is a big challenge, but the opportunities are also huge!
At present, only the father and son know about this matter, so we should plan it underwater first to prevent anyone from coming in to disrupt the situation..."
Xu Chen smiled and said:
"Dad, looking at you like this, you are bound to win!"
Xu Zhiquan laughed heartily:
"During this period, I have developed some connections. If I want to get a machine factory, I still need some connections.
Dad already has one or two key contacts who can help with the conversation.
The most important thing now is the pressure on funds. Part of the money can be obtained from the bank, but a large proportion of the principal is still required.
The lean camels in the machinery factory are bigger than horses. I also asked about the restructuring of the machinery factory in Laicheng next door.
I roughly estimate that I still have to shell out several million in cash, maybe tens of millions...
Fortunately, there is still time, and it won’t be a matter of a day or two.
With this kind of state-owned enterprise restructuring and bankruptcy, they will still have to fight internally for a while, which will also give Dad more time to raise funds.
Next month, the advance payment for three projects can be obtained first, and the money for two accessories from last year can be returned.
There are also some reserve funds from previous years.
These are the foundation.
The current land, seedlings, and factory buildings can also be mortgaged in exchange for some cash.
If it’s not enough, dad also has connections to borrow more money, but it may involve partnership issues..."
Xu Chen: "It's best not to partner with others. There will be too many troubles in the future."
Xu Zhiquan took a puff of cigarette and laughed:
"Of course I know, I'm also afraid of partnering with others now.
No matter what kind of business it is, it is best to have the final say yourself.
As long as the prospects are bright, it is better to get a loan from a bank than to form a partnership.
I used to think that if I had a partner, I could still discuss things when things happened.
Now I find that no matter what happens, just discussing it with my son is enough! ”
Xu Chen imitated his father's behavior and laughed innocently.
It seems that during this period of time, his father Xu Zhiquan has been quietly planning a lot for taking over the machinery factory.
He was already eager to try and determined to win.
Xu Zhiquan rubbed his son's head and said again:
“As for electric cars, my dad has also been asking about it during this time.
Indeed, as my son analyzed to me, now is an excellent time to enter the electric vehicle industry.
In terms of battery and motor technology, there have been relatively good breakthroughs in the country in the past two years. Coupled with the introduction of motorcycle bans in various places, the development of electric vehicle companies is now encouraged.
Domestic companies are doing this in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, as well as in Tianjin, the main city in the north.
I am planning to take a train to Jiangsu Province next month, and I happen to have an old classmate from middle school who is a small leader in the town there.
If you can ask him to get some connections, I'll see if I can sneak into their factory to learn from them and learn the ropes. ”
Xu Zhiquan took a puff of cigarette:
“I also asked the engineers at the previous machinery factory, and they were indeed planning to make electric tricycles before.
However, internal decision-making tended to be conservative, and there were factional struggles and intrigues. In the end, it was stillborn.
He said that electric vehicles would be very simple if they could directly introduce a production line.
As for batteries and motors, they can be purchased directly. Now that the technology is mature, the implementation threshold is not high..."
Xu Chen sat aside and listened silently.
Father Xu Zhiquan’s execution ability is really frightening...
The father and son chatted in the yard for a while, and Xu Zhiquan's drunkenness was almost gone.
But after all, I drank a little too much and walked a little unsteadily.
Li Rui came out of the back room, started the car, and helped Xu Zhiquan into the car with Xu Chen.
……
……
Early the next morning, I didn't get up until about three o'clock in the morning.
Hearing a "crash" sound downstairs, I looked out the window and found that Li Rui was washing the car there. A breakfast was placed on the table outside the house as usual. Xu Chen simply took a few bites and then went downstairs.
My father was sitting in the living room, flipping through the newspaper and drinking hot tea.
"Dad, are you sober?"
Xu Zhiquan laughed: "That's just a small amount!"
Xu Chen walked out, picked up a cotton mop in the bucket, and started washing the car with Li Rui.
Li Rui had a cigarette in his mouth and quickly called out "Good morning, Brother Chen."
During this time, Xu Zhiquan also kept running up Beishan Mountain. The roads were all dirt and dirt, and the car became dirty after driving for two days.
After a while, this second-hand black Accord was cleaned inside and out.
"Brother Chen, please go inside and rest. I'll just dry you off." Li Rui said.
"It's okay, I rarely move around."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Li Rui's cell phone rang. He took it out, took a look, put down the big towel in his hand and answered the call...
Xu Chen was wiping the car when he noticed that Li Rui hung up the phone and froze there.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.
Li Rui turned around, looking a little ugly:
"Grandma passed away..."
Xu Chen was stunned.
"It's...Brother Bing's grandma."
"..."
Li Rui took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled a large white ball:
"The call is from Fang Tao.
He and Brother Bing are from the same village. He said that his grandma passed away unexpectedly yesterday, and he didn't know the specific circumstances.
Brother Bing had just rushed back to the village and was probably preparing for the funeral. Fang Tao had already run to help. ”
Xu Chen was stunned there, speechless for a moment.
His hands were still wet, but he took out his phone before he could wipe them off.
I was about to make a call to Xie Bingran, but stopped there.
Li Rui threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said:
"Brother Chen, I have to take a look.
Fang Tao said that since there was no one in Brother Bing’s family, she was the only one.
When grandma is in mourning, someone still needs help. ”
Fang Tao is the boy with short hair and speaks in a deep voice.
It was thanks to Fang Tao that he found Brother Bing's trace when he rescued Xie Bingran in the department store.
When Xie Bingran and Li Rui were expelled, Fang Tao was also punished and recorded a major demerit.
Xu Chen had already recovered, he nodded and said:
"Let me go there together!"
Xu Zhiquan heard the noise outside and walked out with a newspaper in his hand.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Chen and Li Rui turned around, their expressions ugly.
Xu Zhiquan frowned and felt confused. He rarely saw his son look like this:
"Did something happen?"
Xu Chen: "Dad, Li Rui and I have to go out. Can you lend us the car?"
Xu Zhiquan: "You can use the car casually, what's going on?"
Xu Chen: "There is a classmate whose grandmother passed away, and she is the only one left at home. Let's go and help."
Xu Zhiquan: "You have to help with this kind of thing. I'll get you some money..."
With that said, he returned to the house.
After a while, Xu Zhiquan came out carrying a leather bag and said:
"I'll go with you. We have to organize the funeral, and you two kids can't handle it!"
