Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 300 Don’t blame the uneven road for your shortcomings!

Shi Zhengrong looked at Xu Qingshan with an amused expression, but Zhang Wei at the side had already stood up and loudly denied Xu Qingshan's idea.

"You are too young and have never been exposed to actual production. You have no idea how risky a decision such a large-scale adjustment is for Suntech!"

Although Zhang Wei was talking to Xu Qingshan, his peripheral vision was observing Shi Zhengrong.

After seeing the smile on Shi Zhengrong's face, he knew that he had performed well.

"Production practice is not a game. Our Suntech company has a market value of tens of billions. Will a random transformation affect tens of thousands of people?"

Zhang Wei said with disdain.

"We are now almost the world's largest solar cell assembly manufacturer. Our output last year reached 10000MW! Do you know what this means?"

"Besides, we have signed a 06-year polysilicon supply contract with US MEMC since 150. At that time, the retail price of polysilicon was over $80 per kilogram, but when we won the contract, it was $ per kilogram. If we switch to monocrystalline silicon at this time, do you know how much we will have to pay for the buyout penalty?"

"At least $2 million! 15 billion Chinese yuan!"

"Mr. Xu, I beg you! If you don't understand, you can keep silent. If you don't understand, you can go and find out first. Can you please not speak nonsense here without knowing anything?"

Zhang Wei has already started to show his displeasure to Xu Qingshan.

Even though Xu Qingshan's national recognition is not low at this time, he believes that Xu Qingshan would not dare to disclose such things to the outside world.

Firstly, it involved a cooperation project between private enterprises and the government, and secondly, in his opinion Xu Qingshan was completely wrong.

Xu Qingshan ignored Zhang Wei and looked at Shi Zhengrong.

Shi Zhengrong almost laughed out loud. He spread his hands and looked at Xu Qingshan innocently.

"Mr. Xu, please don't look at me. Although I am a technical person, I am definitely not as technically savvy as Xiao Zhang. Maybe your idea is too naive from the very beginning. Hmm? Am I being too offensive? I mean, it's not realistic enough."

After saying that, Shi Zhengrong looked at Qiu Yong, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Professor Qiu, I am a little surprised that you will also support Mr. Xu."

Only then did Shi Zhengrong finally relax.

He felt that the Liangxi government's move of bringing Qiu Yong in to cooperate with him while testing the waters was extremely stupid.

Even Hua Qing is very unreliable!

Shi Zhengrong was very confident in his direction and steering ability. Monocrystalline silicon was never within their consideration. Only a fool would invest so much money in something that would not produce any immediate results.

"Completely impossible?"

After Shi Zhengrong directed his criticism at Qiu Yong, Xu Qingshan spoke up.

Xu Qingshan faced the two faces of Shi Zhengrong and Zhang Wei, and he did not feel angry or ashamed at being ridiculed in person. Instead, he spoke calmly, with the same amusement in his eyes.

"If you are not good enough, don't blame the uneven road."

Xu Qingshan took two steps forward and met Zhang Wei, who was still standing there with his neck stiffened, but his eyes were fixed on Shi Zhengrong.

After saying this, Shi Zhengrong was fine, but Zhang Wei's face changed.

This sentence was directed at him.

"As far as I know, the current international retail price of polysilicon raw materials is almost $50 per kilogram, right?"

Xu Qingshan picked up the lion stone on the table and kept turning it in his hands.

"In 07, Suntech also tried to develop amorphous silicon thin-film batteries and invested $3 million to build a production line. However, in 08 and 09, the prices of crystalline silicon and crystalline silicon batteries fell rapidly, and the project was officially discontinued at the beginning of last year."

Xu Qingshan’s words made Zhang Wei’s face even uglier.

Because what Xu Qingshan said was true.

"Polysilicon is clearly a dead end. If you still want to continue on this path, you will only die a slow death."

Xu Qingshan hung the lion stone upside down and placed it on the table.

"Of course, you are the ones who can make the choice. That's all I have to say."

“Don’t say we didn’t have it then.”

"Mr. Qiu, let's go."

Xu Qingshan turned around and left the office without looking back.

Qiu Yong picked up the information in his hand. Since the other party didn't give him any face, there was no need for him to leave this kind of thing for them to see.

Qiu Yong followed Xu Qingshan and left.

"Shi"

Zhang Wei called out to Shi Zhengrong and wanted to go out and chase him.

Although Xu Qingshan clearly did not show any emotional inclination, Zhang Wei felt as if he had his underwear stolen and was humiliated nakedly.

"return."

Shi Zhengrong said with a sullen face.

"But!"

"I said come back!"

Zhang Wei stopped and stood at the door. Before he turned around, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"Zhang Wei."

Shi Zhengrong's voice was very low.

There is a kind of majesty that cannot be offended.

"Mr. Shi."

Zhang Wei drooped his shoulders and slowly turned his head. He had a smile on his face, but his smile was uglier than crying.

He could already sense Shi Zhengrong's low mood.

"Zhang Wei, sit down."

Shi Zhengrong raised his hand.

Zhang Wei returned to his position obediently.

“There are some things I don’t want to have to say a second time.”

Shi Zhengrong said softly.

But there is a will that cannot be violated in his words.

"it is good."

Zhang Wei's butt was only one-third of the way on the chair, his legs were tightly together, and he looked very restrained, even a little guilty.

Shi Zhengrong looked Zhang Wei up and down and asked softly.

"Old Zhang, although you are young, you have been working at Suntech since you graduated. You were promoted to this position a few years ago, so you can be considered my direct descendant."

Shi Zhengrong's voice was very slow and gentle, sounding like he was chatting about family matters or reminiscing about the past gently.

But people who are familiar with Shi Zhengrong know that Shi Zhengrong is definitely going to lose his temper at this time.

"Yes."

Zhang Wei didn't dare to say anything more. He could only nod repeatedly and listen to his boss's teachings.

"Regarding the direction Xu Qingshan mentioned, I hope you can seriously investigate it."

Shi Zhengrong picked up the lion stone that Xu Qingshan had just held in his hand and placed it in front of him, observing it carefully.

"But, Mr. Shi, that..."

"Ok?"

Shi Zhengrong raised his eyes, which reminded Zhang Wei of what Shi Zhengrong had just said. He shuddered and stood up immediately.

"Yes! Chairman, I promise to complete the task!"

Zhang Wei's attitude was extremely respectful, and only then did Shi Zhengrong nod his head in approval.

He really enjoys this state.

"Zhang Wei."

Shi Zhengrong looked at Zhang Wei, somewhat relaxed.

"I hope you won't let me down and make choices and judgments that are in line with our company." Shi Zhengrong looked confident and confident of winning.

Zhang Wei became a little confused for a moment.

What does Shi Zhengrong’s request mean?
Didn't he just ask me to try to check along the direction Xu Qingshan gave me? Why did he turn around and say this to me again?

"Just experience it yourself. You go out first. I need to rest for a while."

Shi Zhengrong waved his hand, and Zhang Wei walked out of the office door a little confused, but as soon as he walked out of the office door, he realized something was wrong.

Only after he walked out the door and stood in the porch did he figure out what Shi Zhengrong had just said.

That is, the direction mentioned by Xu Qingshan must be studied, but the results of the research must be unacceptable, so as not to undermine Shi Zhengrong's dignity and status within Suntech.

Because Shi Zhengrong was the ultimate host of all decisions made by Suntech so far. If Xu Qingshan's approach was correct, it would mean that Shi Zhengrong's previous decisions were wrong. For this arrogant and conceited founder, this would be a major blow to his reputation, which he would never be able to accept.

But Zhang Wei also knew that for someone like Shi Zhengrong, making such a decision would also mean another result.

If things develop as Xu Qingshan predicted, and Shi Zhengrong's decision becomes a real mistake, then the person who needs to take the blame will be himself.

In an instant, Zhang Wei broke out in a sweat.

"Shi Zhengrong, you old dog!"

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, his face looking painful, but he could only keep the curse in his throat and didn't dare to say it out loud because there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the office building.

Judging from the internal atmosphere of Liangxi Shangde, if he dared to curse Shi Zhengrong loudly in the corridor today, then this matter would reach Shi Zhengrong's ears the next day, no, even that night.

Zhang Wei now has no way out and can only find a way to fulfill Shi Zhengrong's request.

The best result is to verify Xu Qingshan's direction and find that it is really not feasible.

And the other side.

After Xu Qingshan brought Qiu Yong out of the office building, they did not go back to the hotel directly. Instead, they found a quiet tea room, asked for a private room with good soundproofing, and sat down to drink tea and chat.

"What do you think of the current photovoltaic industry and Suntech?"

After sitting down, Qiu Yong's face did not show any dissatisfaction as if he was offended by Shi Zhengrong and the others. Instead, he asked Xu Qingshan with a smile about his opinion on Suntech.

"After all, China's photovoltaic industry is still an emerging industry. In the absence of international experience, most companies make decisions that are too radical and rash. Among these companies, Suntech is the most obvious example. In particular, Suntech is still attacking multiple fronts, trying a little bit of everything, taking risks, and ultimately wasting a lot of energy, material resources, manpower and funds."

Xu Qingshan took a sip of tea.

Liangxi is not considered to be a major tea producing area, at least Xu Qingshan has never heard of the famous tea produced in Liangxi. However, the tea he brewed today is said to be produced from the local tea trees in Liangxi. It tastes pretty good and is unexpectedly refreshing.

"Then you should also understand that their bullish attempts are essentially due to the poor production and operation of the enterprises, and they are subconsciously looking for a breakthrough."

Qiu Yong also tasted it and nodded.

"This tea is good."

"Then let's buy some later so we can take them as souvenirs when we go back."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Then what do you think of Shi Zhengrong?"

Qiu Yong asked curiously.

"He looks fierce but is timid, is good at making plans without decision, is careful about his body when doing great things, forgets his life when he sees little profit, and is like a withered bone in a tomb."

Xu Qingshan thought the atmosphere was good and said a few words.

"You must have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms quite a lot."

Qiu Yong said with a smile.

"He is too narrow-minded and is not someone who can accomplish great things. The reason why Liangxi Suntech has been able to achieve its current level is mainly because of the dividends of our country's support for the photovoltaic industry."

Qiu Yong concluded.

"In addition, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions are very supportive of private enterprises. The Liangxi government in particular is eager to support the local photovoltaic industry in Liangxi. All banks and departments have given the green light to Suntech. At the beginning, they did not even consider some selfish motives. Unexpectedly, such a thing was cultivated."

Qiu Yong sighed.

Xu Qingshan was a little curious.

"Teacher Qiu, why do I feel like you know Liang Xi so well?"

"Hahaha."

Qiu Yong smiled.

"Is it so obvious?"

"No, it feels like you are the mayor of Liangxi."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

"It's almost the same. The current deputy mayor of Liangxi is my close friend. Liangxi Suntech is the company he manages. If nothing goes wrong and the municipal party committee team is handed over normally, he will become the acting mayor next year. After six months of observation, he can become the mayor."

As Qiu Yong said this, Xu Qingshan finally understood the relationship.

"Liangxi Shangde is considered the top private enterprise in Liangxi. If Liangxi Shangde goes bankrupt and encounters major problems, it will be difficult for your friend, Mr. Qiu, to continue doing business there, right?"

"That's the truth."

Qiu Yong nodded.

"I see."

Xu Qingshan nodded, and his mind became active.

If he originally just had some thoughts, then the relationship revealed by Qiu Yong now made him feel that there was great potential in it.

"Teacher Qiu, can you invite your friend, that..."

"Zhu Kejiang, Deputy Mayor Zhu."

Qiu Yong knew what Xu Qingshan was asking, and he didn't hide it, so he spoke directly.

"Can we meet with Mayor Zhu?"

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, Qiu Yong nodded immediately.

"Of course no problem, I can call him now and ask him to come here."

After saying that, Qiu Yongzhen picked up his phone and wanted to make a call, but was stopped by Xu Qingshan.

"not now."

Xu Qingshan pointed at the information that Qiu Yong had just placed on the table.

"If we want to convince Mayor Zhu to help, then we need to make this thing more perfect."

Xu Qingshan said with confidence.

"Since Suntech is unwilling to accept our suggestions, we must first obtain the consent of the Liangxi government and gain the right to speak or even control Liangxi Suntech. Mr. Qiu, you have also seen that people like Shi Zhengrong will definitely not easily agree to any of our team's opinions."

"Yes, it is difficult to get things done under such resistance."

Qiu Yong nodded.

"Then Mr. Qiu, I'd like to trouble you to get me as much detailed information about Suntech's internal situation and business operations as possible. It's okay if you don't have it, but it would be even better if you do."

Xu Qingshan's eyes flickered, and his mind had already begun to conceive the plan he wanted to implement.

"it is good."

"Then I'll go back and sort out the information. Once it's sorted, we'll make a special appointment with Mayor Zhu."

"Uh-huh."

After Xu Qingshan left, Qiu Yong sat alone in the tea room, flipping through the materials compiled and summarized by Xu Qingshan. Although he had read it several times, he still liked it very much.

The main reason was that Xu Qingshan showed strong ideas in industrial design, but before that, Qiu Yongke had never heard that any industrial design teacher at Peking University had contact with Xu Qingshan.

Could it be that this kid really learned everything by himself?

As he was thinking, Qiu Yong suddenly came to his senses.

That's not right! Didn't I come here to work on technology? Why do I feel like Xu Qingshan is leading me to start a business war and politics?
Even the business operations have been sorted out?

For a moment, Qiu Yong, who was sitting in the tea room, began to become confused.

Yesterday, because the information was too complicated and the relationships were also quite complex, my writing was a bit messy. Today, I feel like I’m back to my old ways. I’ll write more tomorrow!
