The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 393 Training
"Please forgive me for being blunt, but never judge a gentleman by your own standards." Ju Wei said bluntly, "Of course, the gentleman I'm referring to isn't me. I originally wanted to take over your company, but my boss said, 'Even if you're made of iron, how many nails can you hammer? Even a hero needs three helpers.'"

These people knew Liu Hua's name to some extent, so someone asked, "Director Ju, why didn't Boss Liu come to the meeting?"

"What kind of meetings does our boss usually hold? What level are yours? Why would our boss come here?" Ju Wei shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for being blunt, but our boss usually holds meetings with other leaders, and only those of a certain rank can attend."

This is so damn insulting! If this happened at any other time, place, or occasion, these bosses would definitely have stormed off in anger. But right now, they just can't muster any anger. Boss Liu has appeared on the front page of authoritative newspapers several times. His level is something they can't even dream of.

"Director Ju, just say what you have to say. We are just rough men, we don't even know many words, we can't compare to your Boss Liu."

Ju Wei nodded: "Then I'll be frank. Taiyi Heavy Industry is very busy with orders. We all do machining, and we all know that there are different levels of quality in this field. For some simple parts, our factory is no longer planning to process them ourselves and wants to subcontract them to you."

This statement is like a drop of water spilled into a hot oil pan. These people are enterprising and passionate. In the early stages of starting a business, they are not afraid of hardship or suffering.

What I fear most is not making money, what I fear most is letting down my parents, wife and children, enduring great hardship and sweating profusely, only to end up not being able to bring money home – that's what's truly devastating.

Taiyi Heavy Industry is now outsourcing parts to him. Although the technical difficulty is relatively low, it is undoubtedly a stable source of income.

"Is Director Ju really telling the truth?"

“This was decided by our boss,” Ju Wei emphasized. “Our boss said that with foreign capital entering the country on a large scale, if our domestic enterprises want to develop, we have to form a united front. We can be the vanguard, but we need a continuous reserve of talent. Now, our boss wants to cultivate you to become our reserve force.”

Only then did these people realize that this was the truth, and that they had truly been judging others by their own petty standards.

One boss gave a thumbs up: "No doubt about it, Mr. Liu's awareness is absolutely top-notch. Since Mr. Liu thinks highly of me, Lao Zhang, then I'll go all out. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"The factory is still yours; we will not interfere in your operation and management."

Ju Wei's words reassured them; no one wants their hard work to be criticized by others.

"But we will provide you with training, both in business and technology."

"What a wonderful thing!" another boss said with a smile. "We're just ordinary folks, and we don't know any rules or methods. Now that Boss Liu doesn't mind our stupidity and is willing to teach us, it's like our ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."

"The reason we chose you is because the boss has high hopes for you. Your unconventional methods have their advantages, but the boss also said that when a company is small, unconventional methods can help it develop. However, when you enter a large company, you must follow the rules. That's the significance of our training."

A dozen or so small business owners emerged, each more excited than the last; who wouldn't want to grow their business bigger and stronger?

"I have initially selected about a dozen of you, but that doesn't mean I've chosen you all. The final result will depend on your training performance."

These people all share a common trait: they may not have had good grades in school, but they have an unwavering desire to learn new skills. The Taiyi Classroom has started, and every evening either master craftsmen from the factory or business owners come to teach—technical people come to learn technical skills, and management people come to learn management.

The teachers Liu Hua found for them were not the kind who simply taught from the textbook, but rather the treasures he had gathered over the years through careful investigation and research. Most of them were former retired workers from state-owned enterprises or outstanding employees.

They taught based on practical experience, their lectures were fluent and easy to understand, and the classroom results were excellent.

After learning, these small factories achieved significant development. Three months later, Taiyi Heavy Industry re-evaluated them, and all of them passed the standards.

As a result, they received the order they had been dreaming of. Taiyi Heavy Industry is a company of immense size, not to mention its domestic motorcycle engine production, it is now also supplying some engines to Japan.

Taiyi Heavy Industry signed a one-year contract with them, and the monthly production volume is several times that of their existing business.

Some of the bosses were at a loss and started gesturing wildly, while others were practically in tears.

Over the years, they've begged and pleaded for business, and even then, they often couldn't get orders. But by working with Taiyi Heavy Industry, just by passing the assessment, they immediately got so many orders. They're incredibly grateful.

That's why they say the most important thing in life is meeting the right person.

These factories continued to develop alongside Taiyi Heavy Industry, developing their own unique characteristics and becoming backbone enterprises in the northern machinery processing industry.

Liu Hua's training courses never stopped. Even after these bosses had become billionaires, they still took time out of their busy schedules to attend the courses every year. However, at that time, the lectures were no longer given by the management or engineers of the companies and factories, but by specially hired experts and professors. Sometimes, Liu Hua himself would even give the lectures, talking to them about future market development trends.

As we all know, our older generation likes to complain. For example, when educating children, they will say that they couldn't afford to go to school because their family was poor. Now that you have such good conditions, why don't you study hard?

These entrepreneurs also educate their children in the same way, but it's interesting how their children respond.

"Was it really because your family was poor that you didn't go to school back then? Grandma told me that you were even more mischievous than me back then. Besides, you're like a mouse pulling a wooden shovel, the big end is yet to come. You didn't study in school back then, but now you have academicians teaching you. Did I ever get that kind of treatment in school?"

Later, the training course became famous, and many entrepreneurs from all over the country wanted to attend. However, the number of places was limited, and those who wanted to get in had to listen to what the instructor said and observe what he did.

Entrepreneurs who are not dedicated to real industry and committed to revitalizing national industry should not even be allowed to enter the door.

Liu Hua made outstanding contributions to the development of the country's industry and cultivated generation after generation of heroes from humble backgrounds.
