173: Chapter 173 Going Home, Engine Cooperation Project!

After handling all matters in Longdu, Xu Hao set off to return to Xu's Heavy Industry.

He declined the offers from Old Long, Old Zhou, and others to see him off.

Taking a military special plane, he arrived at Xu's Heavy Industry.

"Phew, I'm back!"

Returning to the entrance of the Xu's Heavy Industry factory area, Wang Qian let out a sigh of exclamation.

Life in Longdu for nearly half a month had been very comfortable.

But the feeling of coming home was much better...

Wang Qian now regarded Xu's Heavy Industry as a 'home'.

Xu Hao smiled.

He took the first step, walking toward the entrance of the Xu's Heavy Industry factory area.

Military sentries stood at the entrance. The moment they saw Xu Hao, they immediately stood at attention and said, "Engineer Xu."

Xu Hao smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Has anything happened recently?"

"Reporting to Engineer Xu, everything is normal!"

The sentry reported in a loud, clear voice.

Xu Hao nodded. "That's good."

"I brought back some specialties from Longdu. When you change shifts later, remember to go to the logistics department to pick them up for the brothers."

Xu Hao instructed.

The brothers from the military had always been conscientious, protecting the safety of Xu's Heavy Industry.

It truly was hard work.

Xu Hao never treated them as his own or Xu's Heavy Industry's bodyguards.

Instead, he viewed them as his good partners and brothers.

Hearing this, the sentry was moved.

"Thank you, Engineer Xu!"

Although it was a small gesture, humans are emotional creatures.

Engineer Xu now held a high position and great power, yet he always treated them like blood brothers and took extra care of them in their daily lives.

Not only that.

Engineer Xu was the same toward the workers in the factory.

Owners of other factories tried every possible way to exploit their workers.

Engineer Xu was exactly the opposite.

During holidays, he would distribute benefits and bonuses to the workers.

Even every two or three days, the cafeteria would provide extra dishes.

The employees went to work with smiles every day, to the point that the turnover rate at Xu's Heavy Industry was almost zero.

After many employees joined Xu's Heavy Industry, they didn't think about leaving at all.

The salary and benefits were good, and the boss didn't even allow overtime.

Where else could one find such a company?

The sentry saw all of this.

He respected Engineer Xu from the bottom of his heart!

Although Engineer Xu was young.

Technically, he was one of the best in Dragon Country, having created many high-end national defense assets for the nation.

As the owner of Xu's Heavy Industry, he was even more dedicated, always thinking of his employees.

Thinking of this, the sentry stood straight and gave Xu Hao a salute.

Xu Hao patted his shoulder, told him to change shifts on time, and then walked toward his office.

The news of Xu Hao's return spread to every employee's ears in an instant.

Suddenly.

The entire factory area was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

During the time Chairman Xu was away, although all work in the factory area proceeded normally.

For some reason, they always felt like they had lost something.

Their hearts felt empty.

Now they realized that they had lost their backbone!

Chairman Xu was the 'soul' of Xu's Heavy Industry, nourishing the entire factory area.

This feeling was elusive, but it certainly existed.

In other words, it was charismatic leadership!

The personal charisma Xu Hao possessed unified the spirit of the employees in the factory.

Xu Hao had Wang Qian distribute the specialties he brought back to the employees one by one.

Although it wasn't much, it was a token of his appreciation.

After the employees received them, they were naturally overjoyed and thanked Xu Hao one after another.

As a result, they worked with even more vigor.

Wang Qian saw all of this and then told Xu Hao.

Xu Hao smiled faintly. Although he didn't say anything, he felt a sense of gratification and sweetness in his heart.

He actually understood.

The best way to improve employee efficiency was to ensure their welfare and benefits were guaranteed.

With food in hand, one doesn't panic while working!

As long as the employees' worries were resolved, there was no need for strict rules and regulations to keep the company and group in perfect order.

However.

This simplest and most efficient method was something many domestic companies were unwilling to do.

They would rather spend a hundred times more time on various assessments, supervision, establishing rules, clocking in, and so on to force employees to work.

They were unwilling to raise wages even a little bit or improve employee benefits.

They hoped one employee could do the work of two to create the maximum benefit for them.

These were common phenomena existing in many Dragon Country companies.

Xu Hao was unwilling to let Xu's Heavy Industry become like that!

"Reject 996, start with me!"

Xu Hao joked to himself.

Of course, this was just what he thought.

As for how other companies in Dragon Country were, it wasn't something a small scientific researcher like him could interfere with.

...

On the third day after his return, the Chairman of Jiangnan Aviation, General Manager Lu Zhiguo, came to visit.

"Engineer Xu, long time no see!"

As soon as he entered the office, General Manager Lu Zhiguo warmly stepped forward to greet Xu Hao.

"General Manager Lu, please have a seat!"

After shaking hands, Xu Hao gestured for General Manager Lu Zhiguo to sit down.

"I heard you returned from Longdu, so I rushed over without stopping."

General Manager Lu Zhiguo had been eager to see Xu Hao lately!

Now, the security investigation against Jiangnan Aviation by the Security Department had been fully completed.

Furthermore, the results of the review from the Longdu side had also come out.

Jiangnan Aviation had passed the security investigation!

Once he got this result, he wanted to immediately sign the cooperation agreement with Xu Hao to start the R&D of the LG-Turbofan Engine.

But Xu Hao had been in Longdu.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo knew he was there to handle some matters, so it was naturally not appropriate to rush to Longdu to find Xu Hao.

He could only wait and wait in Jiang City until now...

Moreover.

During these days, through the news and his own information network, he had learned about Xu Hao's self-development of the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber.

When he heard this news, General Manager Lu Zhiguo was startled.

The A-225 Military Transport Aircraft hadn't been developed for long, and now the H-20 bomber was out?!

Did he have to be this impressive?!

General Manager Lu Zhiguo was completely shocked into silence by Xu Hao's strength.

Xu Hao had been constantly breaking his understanding of him...

At the same time.

He was very glad for his original decision: to create the best LG-Turbofan Engine prototype at all costs!

Then, he finally gained Xu Hao's recognition and became a partner of Xu's Heavy Industry.

Thinking of this, General Manager Lu Zhiguo was extremely excited.

If he had hesitated even slightly back then, it would have been impossible for him to be sitting here today, communicating with Xu Hao face-to-face.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo was jubilant.

Xu Hao didn't know what General Manager Lu Zhiguo was thinking, but he guessed he had come for the cooperation.

"General Manager Lu, you've come for the LG-Turbofan Engine cooperation, right?"

Xu Hao asked.

"Exactly! Chairman Xu truly has divine foresight, haha..."

General Manager Lu Zhiguo was not only decent technically but also had a thick skin.

Knowing his intentions were seen through by Xu Hao, he didn't mind.

He took a document out of his bag.

"Take a look, these are the audit opinions from Longdu and the Security Department."

General Manager Lu Zhiguo held the document with both hands, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xu Hao.

Xu Hao picked up the document and read it carefully.

When it came to security matters, he didn't dare to be negligent.

After ten minutes, Xu Hao finished reading the document and nodded.

"Yes, there are no problems. In that case, Xu's Heavy Industry and Jiangnan Aviation Group have officially reached a cooperation!"

Xu Hao put down the document, smiled, and reached out to shake hands with General Manager Lu Zhiguo.

General Manager Lu Zhiguo laughed and also reached out his hand.

"Happy cooperating!"
