93: Zhang Zhehan and his group finally arrived
A few minutes later, Ministers from several departments arrived one after another, and even Wang Shengjun, who had rested for two days, came to work today.
"General Manager Liu, why is Chunfeng Changan Group conducting a surprise inspection?" Wang Shengjun asked worriedly as soon as he entered.
"It's alright, our Factory is currently in its best phase, we're not afraid even of a surprise inspection," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"That's right, anyone who comes to see our Factory now will be satisfied." Everyone else thought the same.
"Alright, General Manager Zhang and the others should be arriving soon, let's all go wait at the Factory entrance," Liu Xiaolin said, "I hope today brings good results."
The group slowly walked to the Factory entrance and stood there waiting.
It was the transition season between spring and summer, the weather was neither cold nor hot, the sky was azure, the flowers were still blooming brightly, and the swallows sang happily.
Liu Xiaolin was in a good mood; he felt that something very good was bound to happen today.
Two small cars sped towards them.
"They're here." Zhao Rui had sharp eyes and spotted them instantly.
The cars stopped at the Factory entrance, and a total of six people got out from the two vehicles.
Liu Xiaolin led the group forward to greet them.
"General Manager Zhang, long time no see, you're looking better and better," Liu Xiaolin walked over enthusiastically, held Zhang Zhehan's hands, and said with a smile.
"You look even better; you're young and energetic, and increasingly at ease. I watched your live stream last night, and you spoke so well, so after an emergency meeting with our Group's leaders, we placed an order. It didn't scare you, did it?" Zhang Zhehan said with a smile.
"How could I be scared? I'm just filled with gratitude and emotion," Liu Xiaolin expressed his true feelings.
"It's good you weren't scared. Come, let me introduce you, this is Li Yezhi, the Minister of our Group's Procurement Department, this is Shi Hangtian, General Manager Shi, the General Manager of another branch of our Chunfeng Changan Group, and these are Xiao Han, Xiao Hou, and Xiao Ye, staff members from the Procurement Department," Zhang Zhehan introduced them one by one.
"Welcome, Minister Zhang, welcome, General Manager Shi, welcome, the three of you," Liu Xiaolin greeted them politely.
Then he introduced the Ministers of the Jiangnan Machinery Factory to them.
Both sides exchanged pleasantries very politely.
"Let's not stand at the entrance, let's go to the conference room," Zhao Rui reminded them.
"Let's go see the workshop first," Zhang Zhehan immediately refused to go to the conference room and suggested going to the workshop instead.
"Okay, then we'll go to the workshop first," Wang Shengjun said with full confidence.
A group of about ten people marched towards the workshop.
"General Manager Liu, General Manager Shi, whom I just introduced to you, might have something to talk to you about," Zhang Zhehan whispered to Liu Xiaolin.
"Do you know what it is?" Liu Xiaolin looked puzzled at the mysterious Zhang Zhehan.
"Let's talk about it after we've seen the workshop," Zhang Zhehan followed everyone into the workshop.
The workshop workers were used to people coming for inspections, so they weren't surprised by the large number of visitors this time and continued to be busy with their own tasks.
Qi Qingan, on the other hand, took the group from Chunfeng Changan Group to visit each process one by one.
Zhang Zhehan was an industry insider, so after looking around, he praised the management of Jiangnan Machinery Factory profusely: "Your production process design here is excellent, it can be said to be flawless."
"I don't deserve such praise," Liu Xiaolin was very modest.
"No need to be modest. Before coming here, I had already inspected three or four companies; I've seen all kinds of companies, big and small, but Jiangnan Machinery Factory left the deepest impression on me," Zhang Zhehan said.
"We emerged from a difficult situation, so everyone is holding their breath, wanting to make the Factory bigger and stronger and restore its glory," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.
"Hmm, this is a culture of striving upwards, very good, very good," Shi Hangtian, who had been silent, chimed in.
"Alright, we've seen the workshop, let's go to the conference room to chat," Zhang Zhehan felt that there was no need to waste time looking further after seeing this.
The group arrived at the conference room and took their seats, the guests and hosts separated.
"Before we came, we looked at many engine manufacturing companies, but none of them caught our eye. After watching General Manager Liu's live stream yesterday, we decided to come today on a whim," Zhang Zhehan said, "I didn't expect my surprise inspection wouldn't catch you off guard; you showed us your ordinary everyday, but it's precisely this authenticity that gave me an extremely strong desire for long-term cooperation with Jiangnan Machinery Factory."
"Yes, I've followed General Manager Zhang to many companies for on-site inspections, and none had such a good spirit as you. I just communicated with General Manager Zhang, and shortly I will send a long-term cooperation proposal regarding Jiangnan Machinery Factory to the email of the Group's senior management. Once approved, we will sign a long-term cooperation contract with you," Li Yezhi, the Minister of the Procurement Department, nodded and said with satisfaction.
"General Manager Zhang and Minister Li have both expressed their thoughts. What I want to talk about is not closely related to engines; I want to cooperate with Minister Li on drone manufacturing. To put it simply, I'm here to help General Manager Liu fulfill his dream," Shi Hangtian finally stated the purpose of his trip.
Everyone else was astonished, but only Liu Xiaolin was overwhelmed with surprise and joy.
"General Manager Shi? Are you serious?" Liu Xiaolin couldn't believe it.
"How could I lie to you in front of so many people? I am the General Manager of Chunfeng Changan Group Aerospace Manufacturing Branch, and the purpose of this trip is to meet you," Shi Hangtian said solemnly.
"Then, should we talk alone?" At this moment, Liu Xiaolin only had eyes for Shi Hangtian and didn't want to talk to anyone else.
"You two go to the General Manager's office to talk, and the others can disperse. I'll just discuss the specific contract details with your Sales Department," Zhang Zhehan said very understandingly.
"Okay, okay!" Liu Xiaolin agreed repeatedly, ignoring the surprised looks of the other Ministers, and quickly took Shi Hangtian back to his office at the fastest speed.
"General Manager Shi, we can cooperate on the research and development of new drone products!" Liu Xiaolin couldn't wait to speak after Shi Hangtian was seated.
His dream of over a decade was within reach, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity. Although the Strongest Manufacturing System had given him a workshop and technology, he didn't have the technical talent or skilled workers himself, and relying on the people at Jiangnan Machinery Factory made it impossible to realize his dream. But Shi Hangtian was different; he was the General Manager of the Aerospace Manufacturing Branch, which meant he had the relevant talent, so cooperating with him would definitely allow him to realize his dream in a short time.
"I came this time precisely to talk to you about this," Shi Hangtian was very satisfied with Liu Xiaolin's eager expression; only passion is the best teacher.
Last night, he was drinking and chatting at Zhang Zhehan's house and happened to watch Liu Xiaolin's live stream together. He was very interested in how Liu Xiaolin spoke tirelessly about drones in the live room and developed the idea of cooperation.
The cooperation model he originally envisioned was to invite Liu Xiaolin to work for him part-time as a technical staff member, specifically responsible for the design phase of drones. This kind of work didn't have to be completed at the company; as long as there was a computer, it could be completed independently.
However, what he didn't know was that Liu Xiaolin already had the blueprints and the workshop; everything was ready except for the final push, meaning he only lacked talent.
