You promised to build cars, so why did you go into the military industry?

"I've hired two engineering managers. They can only start work after the New Year."

"After the New Year, it's only a month or so away. Let's stop everything at the construction site for now."

Looking at the snow that wouldn't melt outside the window, in this awful weather, the poured cement is likely to have quality problems.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, it's hard for people to focus on work.

The progress was already slow, and then there would be rework due to quality issues; it's terrifying to even think about.

Li Ran decided not to rush the construction.

Upon hearing that the construction site had been completely shut down for the past two years, Zhao Jing's eyes still lit up with joy, even though she hadn't been to the site recently due to bad weather.

Ignoring Zhao Jing's constantly changing expressions, Li Ran looked seriously at Xue Mingyu and Zhao Shuhang:

"Next, I have something to ask of you two. It's important, but not urgent."

For strategic reasons, we need to build our own sales channels and platforms.

Your initial goal is to build at least one self-operated 4S store in every city in the province within four months.

Within six months, it gradually expanded to cover more than 30 first- and second-tier cities across the country.

After that, within a year, we will cover 300 prefecture-level cities across the country, ensuring that each prefecture-level city has at least one self-operated 4S store.

Zhao Shuhang, you'll take the lead on this matter, and Xue Mingyu will oversee the recruitment process for you.

"That must have cost a lot of money, right?" Xue Mingyu clicked his tongue.

"Money is worthless, you can earn it back after you spend it," Zhao Jing suddenly shouted.

"Zhao Jing is right. This money has to be spent."

If our 4S stores can cover first- and second-tier cities across the country, then the sales of Lingyun SU7 will definitely see a major boost.

At that time, our factory's ability to withstand risks will be greatly enhanced.

Okay, that's all for now. Does anyone have anything else to say?

After confirming that no one present had anything to report, Li Ran dismissed everyone from the office.

After locking the door, Li Ran tightened his coat due to the low outdoor temperature.

Skip work and have hot pot.

-----------------

The following morning, the stillness gave way to restlessness.

Li Ran left Guo Shuyan behind and went to the production workshop alone.

From a distance, the 30-meter-tall die forging press is particularly eye-catching.

Every time the worktable closes, it fills one with excitement.

The car body is die-cast during the opening and closing process.

Several workers skillfully operated the machines to polish and refine the freshly die-cast car body.

The whole process was smooth and pleasing to the eye.

After nearly a year of instruction from Wang Bing, combined with its unique characteristics [Peach and Plum Blossoms in Spring Breeze].

The professional skills of the factory's industrial workers have improved considerably.

Among them, the one who made the most progress and who caught Wang Bing's attention the most was electrician Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe's height of 1.8 meters makes him stand out in the crowd.

Yu Guang noticed Li Ran approaching, and Xu Qinghe, who was working with electricity, didn't dare to be distracted.

Standing outside the cordon, Li Ran watched silently.

Although Xu Qinghe was wearing work clothes, his slightly bulging muscles were still visible.

A neat buzz cut is safe and easy to manage.

His skin was tanned dark and shiny, and his eyes were clear and bright.

Soon after, the repairs were completed, and Xu Qinghe packed up his tools.

Stepping out of the police cordon and taking off his gloves, he greeted Li Ran warmly:

Good morning, Mr. Li!

"Please be very careful! Remember to call your Master Wang on New Year's Day."

"I'll never forget it!" Xu Qinghe patted his chest.

His palms were rough like sandpaper, while the backs of his hands were relatively smooth, and there were calluses on the base of his thumb.

The fingerprints were faint, and there was some adhesive residue from the insulating tape on my fingers.

The nails were cut very short, and the edges were rounded by a file, but there was black ash embedded in the nail folds, and the nail bed was slightly wide like a screwdriver head.

Feeling a little shy under Li Ran's gaze, Xu Qinghe smiled and nodded.

Born in a rural area, he had to enter society after graduating from junior high school because his father lost his ability to work due to an accidental injury.

To make a living, he once worked as a porter in the mountain town.

After two years, his body couldn't take it anymore, so he followed another master to learn electrical work.

After a year of hard work, the master craftsman's skills have been almost completely mastered.

When he showed off his newly acquired electrician's certificate to his master.

The master shooed him away with a "Yo!"

Once again working alone, he successfully joined United Industries with his electrician's license and this work experience.

When I first joined United Industries, the factory was in its early stages.

Factory director Li Ran started a night school.

Those without a high school diploma are forced to attend night school and pass an exam.

If you fail, you're fired, but if you pass, your salary will increase.

Although Xu Qinghe only graduated from junior high school, he did not reject learning, as evidenced by his electrician's certificate.

His year of experience as an electrician made him excel in practical operations and assessments.

Xu Qinghe considers that period to be the happiest and most hopeful time of his life since leaving school.

At the beginning of this year, under the training of his mentor Wang Bing, Xu Qinghe felt that he was making faster progress.

In the latter half of the year, he even completed the high school curriculum on his own.

In the past, I relied more on experience and some unorthodox methods in my work.

Now, no matter how complex a problem is, Xu Qinghe can break it down into smaller parts and then solve it based on his solid foundation.

Xu Qinghe felt deeply grateful to Wang Bing for the changes he had experienced.

He listened attentively to his master Wang Bing's advice.

Recently, Xu Qinghe has been using his free time to read some books he recommended.

Now, he can receive a full 12500 yuan in salary every month!

He calculated that now he lives and eats at the factory, wears work clothes for free, and if he saves up seven or eight months' salary, he can build a small house at home.

He may have a low level of education, but he's not stupid. He knows very well that such a job is rare and hard to come by.

Given his current workload and abilities, he felt he was not worthy of the salary paid by General Manager Li.

After neatly and efficiently tidying up the cordon, Xu Qinghe caught up with Li Ran:

"Mr. Li, through recent routine inspections and maintenance, I have found that as production capacity continues to increase, the factory voltage is somewhat unstable, the equipment power is insufficient, and the transformer temperature is too high."

Simply put, the factory is running out of power.

We need to increase the capacity of transformers as soon as possible to alleviate this problem.

However, increasing the capacity of the transformer means that our factory needs to reapply for a new power distribution quota.

It's best to get this done before the Chinese New Year. Staff shortages during the holidays could cause problems.

Something's not right, something's definitely not right, Li Ran thought to himself.

When the production workshop underwent its second renovation in the first half of the year, were the supporting facilities not maintained at the same time?

Faced with Li Ran's question, Xu Qinghe pursed his lips, unsure whether he should tell the truth.

After all, the factory was too small at the time, so it was understandable that the application was rejected.

That's the truth, though it's a bit too hurtful.

Li Ran understood from Xu Qinghe's hesitant description.

The truth is truly heartbreaking.

But that doesn't matter anymore; the United Industries is now eligible to apply.

Since the problem has arisen, let's solve it; it shouldn't be too difficult.

Li Ran comforted herself in her heart.

But then I thought about it again and realized that wasn't right.

That's not how you play a construction and management game!

Shouldn't it be that the factory is built quickly, the equipment is ready, and then you just need to put in raw materials and wait for the products to come out?

Why are there problems everywhere now?

Was the initial smooth sailing just an illusion?

I've already mass-produced the world's longest-range car, and now I'm facing a power shortage.

Li Ran felt like he had obtained a fake system.

Complaints aside, the problem still needs to be solved.

Back in his office, Li Ran tossed the question to Guo Shuyan.

He then became a hands-off manager.

Seeing Secretary Guo engrossed in organizing the application materials, Li Ran nodded.

This is a real system; it looks reliable at first glance.

I wonder if it's because my conscience is bothering me.

I purchased a set of Talent Jade from the system store and equipped it to Guo Shuyan.

Guo Shuyan, who was focused on her work, suddenly looked up at Li Ran.

Li Ran was not surprised by Guo Shuyan's reaction. Instead, he clenched his right fist and shouted:

"come on!"

"..."

Seeing Guo Shuyan staring at him expressionlessly while her hands continued working without any sign of chaos, he realized that Guo Shuyan was still working.

Li Ran felt that she must possess an extraordinary characteristic.

Could it be Zhou Botong's ambidextrous fighting style?

Without much guesswork, Li Ran closed his eyes to examine the scene.

Multitasking: Possesses extraordinary multitasking capabilities, efficiently handling multiple completely different tasks simultaneously without interference or omission. (Refresh)

Why can Li Ran sit in the boss's seat but a dog can't? Although to me there's no fundamental difference between the two. —Guo Shuyan

"..."

Okay, I've seen what you were thinking!

I'm going to make things difficult for you!
