5: Chapter 5: Xu's Heavy Industry is beyond saving.

"Engineer Li, what do you think of the collaboration between Xu Hao and that film company?"

The employee who just spoke, Xiao Wang, asked Engineer Li.

After resigning from Xu's Heavy Industry with Engineer Li, he had followed him to Tangs Heavy Industry thanks to his connection.

After arriving at Tangs Heavy Industry, his compensation had improved; it was countless times better than when he was at Xu's Heavy Industry.

Therefore, he felt more or less grateful toward Engineer Li and held him in high regard.

"Collaboration? Hmph! In my opinion... Xu Hao doesn't know how to spell the word 'death'!"

Engineer Li snorted coldly and said bluntly.

"Do you also think Xu's Heavy Industry has no hope left?"

Xiao Wang raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

It was the first time he had seen Engineer Li speak so directly about someone else's faults.

"Heh... Xu Hao is still too young!"

Engineer Li shook his head and continued:

"Xu Hao took over Xu's Heavy Industry from his father, but his performance shows that he is completely incapable of shouldering this heavy burden!"

"He is impetuous and lacks foresight."

"For a heavy industry enterprise to choose to collaborate with a film company is simply nonsense!"

By the end, Engineer Li's voice had grown louder.

"Just wait and see. In a few months, Xu's Heavy Industry will be completely ruined in Xu Hao's hands."

"It's just a pity for those old employees who still choose to believe in Xu Hao; they will have to pay the price for his irresponsible actions, sigh..."

Engineer Li sighed.

...

Meanwhile, at Tangs Heavy Industry Group.

Tangs Heavy Industry was a newly emerged heavy industry enterprise in the Dragon Kingdom.

In just a few years, it had developed rapidly.

Relying on new technology and numerous innovative products, it had captured a large market in the northwest region of the Dragon Kingdom.

After establishing a firm foothold in the northwest market of the Dragon Kingdom, Tangs Heavy Industry had intended to advance into the Jiangnan region in recent years.

In recent years, it had been recruiting talent extensively and investing large sums of capital into the research and development of new products, with its momentum growing stronger and stronger.

At this moment, in the office of the chairman of Tangs Heavy Industry.

"Chairman." A secretary wearing a professional suit knocked on the door and walked in from the outside.

"What is it?" President Tang Minghui flicked his cigarette, letting the ash fall into the ashtray.

"The market analysis report indicates that Xu's Heavy Industry Group in Jiangnan seems to have undergone a project transformation."

The female secretary, wearing high heels, carried a laptop in her hands. She walked to President Tang Minghui's desk, placed the laptop in front of him, and then stood obediently to the side.

"Xus Group... project transformation?" When President Tang Minghui first heard Xus Group, his face showed slight confusion. It took him a while to react, "Xus Group hasn't had any new technology in years; they're almost unable to continue operating, right?"

President Tang Minghui asked while moving the mouse, looking at the file on the computer.

"What is this? Signed a collaboration with a film company?" However, when President Tang Minghui saw the information, his expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously thought he had misread it.

"Is the chairman of Xu's Heavy Industry kicked in the head, or is he just grasping at straws?"

"Helping a film company produce props? Hahaha..."

Seeing the information about Xu's Heavy Industry's collaboration project, President Tang Minghui finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It seems Xu's Heavy Industry has really reached the end of its road, accepting even this kind of collaboration. Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

President Tang Minghui shook his head, his face full of disdain. Making props for a film company, what kind of profit could there be in that?

Besides, it was a collaboration with an unknown film company, and the investment was in a science fiction movie.

"Is Xu Hao, the chairman of Xu's Heavy Industry, really stupid, or was he deceived? How could he dare to collaborate on this?"

"Sigh, back in the day, Xu's Heavy Industry was a leading heavy industry group, but now it has fallen to this point. It's a pity, it's pathetic, it's laughable..."

President Tang Minghui took a puff of his cigarette and sighed. Xu's Heavy Industry, I'm afraid it's going to be completely finished...

...

Meanwhile, on the other side. Baili Heavy Industry Group, also a long-established heavy industry group.

Relying on its strong capital and reputation, it operated steadily. Although it was slightly inferior to Tangs Heavy Industry in terms of innovative products.

But the quality of Baili Heavy Industry's large-scale machinery was guaranteed, and many large machinery factories, and even foreign heavy-duty companies, had cooperative relationships with Baili Heavy Industry.

If Tangs Heavy Industry was a young wild leopard, then Baili Heavy Industry was a steady and powerful lion king.

"Yo, the chairman of Xu's Heavy Industry has quite a lot of courage; he actually collaborated with a film company."

Chairman Dong Baili saw this news on the enterprise's internal forum. As a chairman in this industry, he had long heard of Xu's Heavy Industry.

However, to see news about Xu's Heavy Industry again, and it was actually a collaboration with the film industry... this was unexpected.

"Young people are ultimately too impetuous; they are unwilling to be down-to-earth and seriously engage in real industry, only engaging in these illusory things."

"Unlike us, we focus on the real economy, seriously engaging in research and design, and our business is flourishing."

Chairman Dong Baili shook his head repeatedly, looking deeply moved.

"Chairman, do you think this collaboration by Xu's Heavy Industry will be effective?" the secretary standing by and waiting asked,

"Effective? Heh..." Chairman Dong Baili shook his head and exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth.

"This collaboration by Xu's Heavy Industry can be said to have completely ruined its own future."

Chairman Dong Baili put his legs up on the desk, striking the pose of someone who understood the situation.

"Tell the people below to prepare an acquisition plan for Xu's Heavy Industry."

"Although Xu's Heavy Industry currently has no advanced technology, their site is relatively large, and I estimate that other heavy industry enterprises are also eyeing it."

Since the news had already spread through internal channels, other heavy industry enterprises would likely take action as well.

Nowadays, it is difficult to get land approved. If they could take over this huge site of Xu's Heavy Industry, their Tangs Heavy Industry could expand their construction scale.

"An acquisition plan?" The secretary was slightly startled.

"Chairman, but according to relevant personnel, that science fiction movie seems to have invited famous actors to participate. Could this..."

Chairman Dong Baili raised his hand, interrupting the secretary's next words.

"No matter how good this movie is, what does it have to do with Xu's Heavy Industry?"

"Even if the movie becomes famous, it is merely a prop manufacturer. Who would notice?"

Chairman Dong Baili sneered, clearly knowing what the secretary was going to say next.

"Listen to me, tell the various departments below to hurry up and prepare the acquisition plan, lest another enterprise gets there first."

Hearing this, the secretary said no more. Following Chairman Dong Baili's instructions, he went to have the various departments prepare the relevant acquisition documents.

For a time, the news of Xu's Heavy Industry Group's collaboration with a film company caused a stir in the heavy industry group's internal forum.

Xu's Heavy Industry, which had previously not received much attention, had also received attention from several long-established heavy industry groups in the past few days.

Of course, they were generally pessimistic about Xu's Heavy Industry's collaboration this time.

Based on this, the top few heavy industry groups in the Dragon Kingdom had more or less launched some actions in secret.

The large site of Xu's Heavy Industry was a big piece of cake.

Xu Hao was aware of everything happening on the heavy industry forum. However, he did not take it to heart.

In order to get the Giant Transport Vehicle and other props ready before the filming of 'The Wandering Earth' began, the new factory area of Xu's Heavy Industry was running around the clock almost every day.

Two technical teams of one hundred people were specially assembled. One team was responsible for the construction work during the day, and one team took over to continue processing at night.

The entire workshop was running at full power, efficiently, seriously, and striving for perfection to build the Giant Transport Vehicle.

Although they were just film props, Xu Hao's goal was not limited to this.

Xu's Heavy Industry used to be a top 100 heavy industry enterprise, but now it had gradually declined and lost its market.

But this time, it was a huge opportunity. If they were going to fight, they would fight a beautiful comeback battle!!

This was Xu Hao's first goal.

Not only that. With the help of the [ MOSS System ], using Xu's Heavy Industry Group as the rear base, he wanted to build more new technological products.

To let Xu's Heavy Industry re-establish itself in the Dragon Kingdom market and create unique Xu's Heavy Industry innovative technological products!!

The production and construction work was proceeding in full swing. In a flash, three months passed.

Director Guo Fan finally perfected all the work for the filming.

On this day, netizens who opened their phones to browse Weibo as usual discovered something. An inexplicable topic appeared in the top ten of the trending searches without any warning.

Director Guo Fan: * The surreal sci-fi masterpiece 'The Wandering Earth' has officially started filming, please look forward to it!
