Start with a blacksmith shop.

Li Zhenhua only uttered one word, and then fell into deep thought.

He can build the motorcycle himself right now, but what happens after the prototype is built?

Does he have to do everything himself? A person's energy is limited, and besides, this isn't something he's good at.

At that time, manpower will inevitably be needed to manage the company's affairs, both large and small.

Of course, these aren't the only problems. The biggest problem is that he doesn't have many connections.

In the Kyushu society, where personal connections are paramount, without them, even small matters become incredibly difficult to navigate.

Although the situation has improved a lot since the anti-corruption campaign began, it has shifted from being overt to covert.

Liu Xiaodong could be considered a local tyrant in the county, which was largely due to his family's concrete mixing plant business.

In the initial stages, his involvement will make some things simpler.

Thinking of this, he recalled Guo Shugui, whom he had recently met. Compared to Liu Xiaodong, Guo Shugui's connections were much more high-end.

Liu Xiaodong's family could only contact people at the county level, and at most, at the city level.

But Guo Shugui's situation is different. His family's real estate business is located all over the country, which allows them to access higher-level resources.

With these two people joining, his plans could have a more positive impact.

"Fatty, what made you decide to get involved with my business? What about your family business?"

Instead of answering Liu Xiaodong's question, he asked him a question, wanting to see what he was thinking.

When faced with Li Zhenhua's question, Liu Xiaodong only thought for a short time before answering him.

"Zhenhua, let my dad run this family business from now on. I don't want to get involved anymore."

The business of concrete mixing plants is getting harder and harder to run these days. Environmental protection departments are checking, safety departments are checking, and various other departments are checking.

Moreover, when the air quality is poor, the county government has to make my family stop production.

While working, they also have to deal with problems encountered by the cement mixer truck on the road.

In the past six months, I've been to the traffic police station at least fifty times to bail someone out, so I'm thinking of changing careers.

By following you in this business, I haven't really lost the concrete mixing plant business, especially since I still have my dad.

If we succeed, I'll have made a name for myself outside the construction industry.

At this moment, Li Zhenhua also knew what the fat man was thinking. Although they were good brothers, some things still needed to be clarified.

"Fatty, there are some things we need to clarify."

You should also know the situation in Kyushu, right?

To alleviate traffic congestion, many cities are banning motorcycles. The industry we've chosen can be considered a sunset industry.

The future prospects are uncertain; are you sure you want to invest?

Liu Xiaodong looked at him with an expression as if he were being humiliated by a woman, and then heard him say, "Do I look stupid to you? I feel like you're trying to fool me."

Seriously, you're just kidding me.

These two motorcycles you designed are not ordinary commuting vehicles; they are high-end toys designed for motorcycle enthusiasts.

People like this are usually not short of money, and I feel that your target market for these two cars isn't just the domestic market.

Even if this car doesn't sell well domestically, it can be exported and sold to people overseas.

I believe they will definitely buy it. With the kind of car you designed, if you put it next to Harleys and Indians, people who are curious will also choose to buy your car.

Of course, the premise is that it can't be too much more expensive than those cars. If it's too much more expensive, they won't buy it!

So, if you agree, I absolutely will not back down on this matter of taking a stake.

Watching him speak so eloquently, it became clear that he had already thought through and determined the future sales direction and target customers for the motorcycles.

It would be inappropriate to refuse at this point, especially since we still need to rely on his connections!

"Okay, that's a pretty thorough analysis. Then you'll be included."

Um, Fatty, there's something else. I'm planning to bring Guo Shugui in too.

As far as our two companies are concerned, we are still too small in scale; we simply cannot fully protect our achievements.

Therefore, we need to find someone understanding and generous; during the development phase, we need them to shield us from trouble.

"As long as we develop and grow in size, it won't matter! What do you think?"

Liu Xiaodong gave Li Zhenhua a thumbs up.

"Okay, you're right. My impression of Guo Shugui is that he's easy to get along with. I have no objection to letting him in."

The two then began discussing the future organizational structure, starting with the company's composition, which currently consists of three shareholders: Li Zhenhua, Liu Xiaodong, and Guo Shugui.

Li Zhenhua invested 200,000 yuan, plus two motorcycle designs and the patents generated from those designs, as a technology contribution, giving him a total of 60% of the company's shares.

The remaining 40% will be split equally between the two remaining individuals, with each receiving 20%.

As for the funds they will invest, it is two million each, which is equivalent to one million for each share. However, when all of these are added together, the total value of the company reaches tens of millions.

After the two of them had discussed these matters, Li Zhenhua realized that they had not yet called the third person, so he immediately called Guo Shugui.

After a short wait, the third person arrived at the blacksmith's shop.

With all three of them together, they went through the entire plan again.

The three agreed on the previous plan, but with the arrival of the third person, some adjustments were made to the details of the plan.

All the problems that have been discovered so far have been discussed by the three of them, and solutions have been proposed.

At this point, Guo Shugui, who arrived last, asked Li Zhenhua a question.

"Now that we've both invested our funds, is it still necessary to continue the live streaming?"

He originally thought that once he brought up this topic, he would get the support of the two of them, and he wouldn't need to start the live stream.

Unexpectedly, the two people opposite him answered him in unison.

"Of course we must continue." *2

At this moment, Guo Shugui really couldn't understand why someone would need to raise funds through live streaming when they already had enough money.

Even if the funds aren't needed later, he and Liu Xiaodong can just increase their investment!

Seeing Guo Shugui's puzzled look, Li Zhenhua then explained it to him.

"Guoba, it's still necessary for us to continue this live stream."

Why? It's not just about funding; this is part of our company's initial promotional plan.

Think about it, if we do a live stream according to my plan, it's bound to become a hit.

Currently, there is no live streaming platform that can broadcast continuously without ever ending the stream.

In other words, our car was built entirely in front of everyone.

I think this will also pique people's curiosity, even though they won't stay in our live stream to watch forever.

However, as long as our live stream exists, people will inevitably come back to check on my progress in building the motorcycle by hand whenever they have time.

Taking everything into consideration, I think live streaming is still necessary!

I originally thought live streaming was optional, but now I realize it's an indispensable part of my plan.
