Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 163 A Genuine Amateur Troupe! (First Update!)

"it is good!"

Lin Yi responded and followed the person in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) into the conference room. The person in charge of SASAC did not go into the conference room, but instead placed the contract next to the seat where Lin Yi had been sitting.

"Mr. Lin, please take a look at the contract first."

After handing the contract to Lin Yi, the head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission turned around and walked into the conference room. Instead of walking to the end, he walked to the middle and pulled a middle-aged man up from behind the Development and Planning Bureau.

After being dragged out, the middle-aged man walked forward with a look of resignation to his fate, and then slowly came to Lin Yi.

The head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission pointed to the middle-aged man:

“Yan Qing, Chairman of Suzhou Urban Development Company. If you need any work in the future, Mr. Lin can contact Mr. Yan directly.”

Yan Qing was pushed forward, touched his nose, and nodded to Lin Yi with a hint of embarrassment:

"Mr. Lin, seeing is believing. Let's look at the contract first."

"Okay, let's look at the contract."

The contract wasn't thick, only about 100 pages. Apart from the first few pages which contained the negotiation terms of the cooperation agreement, the remaining 100-plus pages were all explanations of various terms and corresponding legal clauses.

The first time, Lin Yi quickly went through the contract, closed his eyes, and mentally reviewed it, thoroughly understanding the vocabulary before opening the contract again for a second time.

The second time I read the contract, I was noticeably slower.

But soon, the rustling sound echoed in the conference room, resonating in the hearts of Qin Chao and the others.

An hour later, Lin Yi put down the contract and nodded slightly.

"The contract is fine, we can sign it now."

His words immediately enlivened the previously quiet meeting room.

The head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) pulled Yan Qing to sit opposite Lin Yi and handed her the contract.
"Old Yan, sign it!"

Yan Qing scratched his head, picked up his pen, and elegantly wrote his name and the date on several contracts.

He then pushed the contract in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also picked up the contract and quickly signed his name on it.

He then took the company seal out of his briefcase, placed it on the table, but did not stamp it.

Upon seeing this, Yan Qing decisively took out his phone and made a call.

Less than 10 minutes after the call was made, Xiao He walked into the conference room with a young man in his early twenties carrying a briefcase.

The young man handed the briefcase to Yan Qing with both hands. Yan Qing opened it, took out the official seal, placed it on the table, and then pointed to it with his finger.
"Together!"

"Together!"

The two people take the official seals, one stamps one copy, the other stamps one copy, then they exchange them and stamp each other's seals.

There were a total of 8 contracts. Each side received 4 copies. After the contracts were signed, Yan Qing stood up first, pressed the contract with her left hand, and handed it forward with her right hand.

Lin Yi also stood up, pressed the contract with his left hand, and handed it out with his right hand, shaking hands with Yan Qing.

Beside him, Xiao He took out his camera and snapped a picture of the scene.

After the contract was signed and the two men put it into their briefcases, Qin Chao slowly walked over, leaned against the table, and said:

"It's getting late, let's have a meal in the cafeteria to celebrate our cooperation. I'll have someone take you home tonight."

"it is good!"

After the contract was signed, everyone was happy, and a large group of people followed Qin Chao slowly towards the cafeteria.

When they arrived at the canteen, the chef had already prepared a banquet and served wine.

Upon seeing those large bottles, Lin Yi secretly swallowed.

To die!

After handing the briefcase to Ye Hua and instructing him to keep an eye on it, Lin Yi followed Qin Chao to their seats.

As the host, Qin Chao first exchanged a few polite words, and then raised his wine glass.

Lin Yi also held up his wine glass: "Secretary Qin, I am the junior, and it is the junior who should take the initiative in this kind of thing."

"I'll go first!"

As he spoke, he held the bottle in his left hand and the wine glass in his right, and began to walk around the table.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Seeing that the person was already starting to stagger, Qin Chao raised his glass:

"Today, we are celebrating the birth of a battery giant in Suzhou in the future."

"Since it's a celebration, we should be happy."

"Drinking to your heart's content is a good thing, but drinking too much is not good."

That's all for today.

"Xiao He!"

Secretary Xiao He appeared silently from behind the door and stood quietly at the entrance.

Upon seeing him appear, Qin Chao pointed to the people around him:
"Make sure everyone is taken home and personally handed over to their families."

After giving instructions to Xiao He, he turned back to look at Lin Yi, whose face was flushed:
"Are you alright? Do you want me to arrange for someone to take you home?"

Lin Yi rubbed his flushed cheeks and reached out to pull Meng Hai up from beside him: "I'm alright, I still need to talk to Professor Meng about something."

After saying that, he shook Meng Hai vigorously, waking him up again from his drunken stupor:
"Professor Meng, it's time to close up shop. Don't go to sleep."

Meng Hai was groggily shaken awake, not noticing his surroundings. He shook his head, then vaguely grasped his wine glass: "Oh—let's continue."

Seeing his expression, Qin Chao shook his head and gave him some advice:
"You and your secretary must deliver the person home. I will personally call to inquire about it."

Hearing the instructions, Lin Yi straightened up abruptly and saluted, saying, "I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

After saying that, he dragged Meng Hai outside.

Qin Chao remained seated until the very end, until Xiao He had settled everyone in, before he got up and left.

After getting into the car, Xiao He started the engine. While waiting at the traffic light, he sighed:

"After hearing the conditions that General Manager Lin mentioned today, I still didn't think the city would agree to them."

He had barely finished speaking when he heard a soft chuckle behind him, followed by Qin Chao's deep voice:
"Don't agree?"

"Xiao He, as a liberal arts student, what you lack most is an objective understanding of things."

"To put it bluntly, it's called being lazy and ignorant of farming."

"From your perspective, Lin Yi is almost no different from those other people who have tried to trick us into investing."

But what's the reality?

"No, completely different."

“In the past, the people who came to us for support had nothing to offer. At most, they had PPT presentations or some fancy technical stuff.”

"No matter how much they talk, they're only talking about uncertain things. Their product is still on PowerPoint presentations. They need time for research and development, then production, and finally, market validation."

“But Lin Yi’s products are different; they are far beyond what ordinary products are made.”

“He doesn’t need to do anything. He just needs to show those things, and there will be plenty of people who want to work with him.”

"If other people knew that I, Qin Chao, rejected a giant that was bound to grow, they would laugh at me, they would definitely mock me mercilessly."

“Once the news gets out, everyone in Suzhou will curse me, and then the other twelve cities in Jiangsu Province, as well as the surrounding cities, will definitely laugh at me.”

"Do you understand?" "You are still young. What you need to train most right now is your eyes. You need to make your eyes see through the surface and get to the essence."

After finishing his speech, Qin Chao reached out and rolled down the car window. The cool air rushed into the car, making him feel much more awake.

After a while, he instructed again: "Xiao He, tomorrow morning, go to the Investment Promotion Bureau and have the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau take two people to Xiaomi Heavy Industry."

"Look at that Iraqi!"

"Go under the guise of investment promotion, and just say that you listened to Lin Yi's words and heard that there are foreign businessmen here. The investment promotion bureau thought that we could sit down and ask and chat to see what inconveniences the international businessmen have encountered here. Don't ask too many questions or interfere too much."

"You can handle the paperwork next. The day after tomorrow, we'll arrange the factory groundbreaking ceremony, and we'll hand over the paperwork to Lin Yi on site."

"Understood!" Xiao He nodded, and the vehicle slowly turned and entered a quiet residential area.

Meanwhile, Ye Hua drove his Santana and dropped Meng Hai and Lin Yi off at Meng Hai's apartment building.

When they arrived at their doorstep, Meng Hai didn't rush upstairs. Instead, he bought a pack of cigarettes at the convenience store at the entrance of the community, gave one to Lin Yi, and took the other for himself, squatting down by the roadside to smoke it.

He took a couple of puffs, and a strange laugh came from his mouth, followed by loud laughter. Lin Yi ignored him and just watched him laugh.

After laughing for a while, Meng Hai stood up and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder:
"Why are there so many researchers who don't believe in superstitions?"

"Yun Tingxuan?" Lin Yi tilted his head and asked.

“Yes! It’s those two!” Meng Hai laughed again when he mentioned the two people with bandages from the meeting.

"Several mayors were skeptical, so they called them over to do the tests."

"After testing, they weren't very convinced that the battery could be made, so they decided to make it themselves."

“I showed them the video I made, but they still didn’t believe me. They thought I was bad at it.”

"Then they blew it up too."

"They've stopped saying I'm bad at the game!"

"Ha ha!"

After a while, his smile faded, and he crossed his arms as he looked at Lin Yi: "You came to see me alone because of the battery raw materials?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Yi's right thumb held up in front of his eyes:
"Correct!"

“I am a nobody with little influence. Even if Director Qian leads the way, there will definitely be people who outwardly comply but inwardly defy him.”

"Therefore, I need someone who can keep things under control."

Having figured out why Lin Yi had come, Meng Hai raised his left hand and glanced at his watch: "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, and then we'll go find Director Qian together."

"It's settled then!" Lin Yi waved to Meng Hai, turned around, and slowly walked towards the beat-up Santana.

Once he got in the car, he closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.

When I woke up again, the car had already returned to the factory.

Just as I returned to the office, Ji Shuangshuang followed me in carrying a thermos:
"Drink your porridge before you go to sleep."

"Wake me up at 7 a.m. tomorrow."

"Won't you take a break?"

"We need to make money!"

"it is good!"

After finishing his porridge and quickly washing up, Lin Yi lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

There was a knock on the door.

Hearing the angry pounding on the door, he opened his eyes. The old plaque on the wall showed the current time.

【2010年2月17日 7:11】

When the door opened, Ji Shuangshuang, wrapped in thick pajamas, stood outside, holding a toothbrush in her right hand and a toothbrush cup in her left.

Looking up and seeing Lin Yi, she spoke first: "You said it was 7 a.m., but it's already 7:12!"

After saying that, she turned and left, not giving Lin Yi any chance to refute her.

In one sentence, Lin Yi's pent-up complaints were completely shut down.

After cleaning himself up, he went to the staff dormitory and dragged Cao Bin and others out.

After finishing breakfast by the roadside and preparing the truck loaded with raw materials, a group of people waited at the door for Meng Hai to arrive.

It was almost 8 o'clock when Meng Hai's car finally arrived.

Seeing the truck parked on the side of the road, Meng Hai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he swallowed the words back.

The original intention was simply to find someone else's equipment to build something.

It would be pointless to use someone else's materials again.

After checking all the materials, Lin Yi got into Meng Hai's car. Meng Hai started the car and, with the convoy behind him, swaggered toward the address given by Qian Jiangchao.

Hongfa Advanced Materials Co., Ltd.

At the company entrance, the boss, Gao Hongfa, stood behind Qian Jiangchao, occasionally glancing over the tidal bore to look ahead, then turning back when he saw no one.

On the fifth attempt, the Qiantang River tide finally turned around:

"busy?"

"It's nothing!" Gao Hongfa shook his head repeatedly, then forced a smile and said to Qian Jiangchao:
"Brother-in-law, it's an honor to have you here. Even if you have something to do, it's alright."

"It's alright!" Qian Jiangchao waved his hand and continued to look at the roadside with his arms crossed.

At this moment, Gao Hongfa followed behind and looked over as well, then continued:
"Brother-in-law, you haven't been scammed, have you?"

"In all my years of running a company, this is the first time I've ever heard of a company needing to ask others for help and borrow equipment from other companies to produce its products."

"If that's the case, why doesn't he just find an OEM manufacturer?"

"You must have been deceived."

"This is definitely a fraudulent, makeshift operation!"

Qian Jiangchao turned around, rolled his eyes, and said, "Why don't you just go and do your thing?"

He had just finished speaking when a convoy of cars drove up from the intersection not far away.

Qian Jiangchao recognized the license plate of the lead car; it belonged to Meng Hai.

They've arrived!
He took two steps forward, stood by the roadside, and then waved continuously at the convoy.

Under his guidance, the convoy slowly drove into the factory and into the unloading area.

Upon arriving at the unloading area, Gao Hongfa quickly followed and instructed his workers to help unload the truck.

After unloading the goods, Qian Jiangchao approached him first: "Remember, when others are operating later, you should watch carefully and learn from them."

"From now on, follow others and work hard."

"Stop spending all your time playing mahjong and drinking with your buddies, and making me bail you out every day."

"Understand?"

After giving his instructions, Qian Jiangchao grabbed Gao Hongfa by the collar and dragged him in front of Lin Yi:
"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Lin, but I'm your brother-in-law. I'd appreciate your guidance today."

"No problem! We believe in education for all!" Lin Yi waved his hand, answering decisively.

After the factory's technical manager finished inspecting the equipment, Cao Bin and others, with the help of the workers, delivered the materials little by little to the production workshop.

With all procedures completed, Cao Bin and the others changed into their work clothes and followed the factory workers toward the equipment.
