Chapter 2117: Seeing a Ghost

"Stop talking that useless fart." Zhou Andong greeted everyone to sit down. "Did I arrive late?"

Young Master Pu snorted. "Although you didn't arrive late, but..."

"But is a chicken feather."

Zhou Andong looked at the color of Young Master Pu's skin, which had deepened by another degree. He wanted to tease him, but finally sighed secretly.

For the sake of ideals, for the sake of the nation, for the sake of the country, he had been digging soil in Longjiang Province, so he must respect him.

"Young Master Pu!" Zhou Andong raised the beer bottle, looking at Young Master Pu affectionately. "For more than a year, you've worked hard. Brother toasts you."

Seeing Zhou Andong, who was full of affection, Young Master Pu shuddered violently, feeling his hair stand up all over his body, and cold wind blowing from his spine.

"You—can you be normal?"

"Young Master Pu, what kind of expression is that." Zhou Andong looked aggrieved. "I just feel that you've worked too hard digging soil in Longjiang Province for the sake of ideals, the nation, and the country, and you deserve everyone's respect, so I toasted you."

"Stop!"

Young Master Pu had grown up and had never seen a ghost, but he had seen everything else. But as the saying goes, if you stand by the river often, you will get your shoes wet. Today, he saw a ghost, and goosebumps rose layer after layer.

"I can drink this glass of wine, but you have to be normal."

Zhou Andong held back his laughter, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly. "Then drink it."

Young Master Pu actually raised the beer bottle and drank half a bottle in one breath.

"Alright, let's talk about business."

He was really afraid that Zhou Andong would make trouble. This guy seemed to be possessed by something unclean; it was too scary.

Zhou Andong laughed heartily, stopped joking, looked at Shen Mingsheng, and said, "Tell me about the situation."

Shen Mingsheng organized his language and said, "Actually, what I liked was the Feihu Car Manufacturing Factory, established in 1978, a military-to-civilian enterprise, formerly the Huaihai Machinery Factory, but their cars are not worried about selling, so they won't even talk.

There was no other way, so I turned my target to the Haining Bus Factory, which is Qiguan Car. It was originally a township repair shop, and later developed into a car modification factory.

Ten years ago, Haining's car industry already had a considerable scale. At that time, Yanguan Town gathered five or six companies producing cars, such as Shuibo, Feidie, etc.

Qiguan initially only produced pickups, because trucks couldn't enter Shanghai, but the pickups produced by Qiguan could, so Qiguan cars sold very well, and many ran on the streets of Shanghai.

Later, they produced sedans, because they were cheap and good, and they were in short supply, so sales were also very hot, and they were even sold to Xiangjiang. But because the production process was relatively backward, many parts on the car were made by hand, and there was almost no after-sales service.

Plus, the boss suddenly passed away, and there were serious problems in operation, so they had to sell, and we were considered to have picked up a bargain."

Zhou Andong asked, "How is their R&D?"

Shen Mingsheng sighed. "There is technology, but that's about it."

"As long as there is their own technology, the most important thing is the birth certificate." Zhou Andong pondered for a moment. "After signing the contract, move the factory to Jiangzhou."

"Move the factory?" Shen Mingsheng was stunned. "Haining side probably won't agree."

"If they don't agree, it's nothing more than the employees can't be arranged." Zhou Andong took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Hua. "Tell them that Yugong Group will build a bottling plant in Haining to receive the employees of the car factory."

"As long as the car factory employees can be arranged, there will be no problem." Shen Mingsheng nodded. "It's just those technicians and R&D personnel, what if they don't go to Jiangzhou?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile, "We only want licenses and technology. As for R&D personnel, Haining Car Factory was originally a repair department. How strong can their R&D capability be?

Don't say they won't go to Jiangzhou. Even if they do, we have to go to other car factories to poach people. And if we want to poach people, we go to those big factories with names."

Shen Mingsheng said with some lack of confidence, "We are just a newly established car factory. Can we poach people from those big factories?"

"Remove the 'can,' I can tell you, definitely can."

Knowing that Yugong Group has several little experts in digging walls, Zhou Andong has full confidence in poaching people.

"Don't talk about other factories, just talk about BAIC. The country gives them hundreds of millions or billions of R&D funds, but after so many years, why haven't they even developed a car wheel?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Andong, like children who had just entered kindergarten, looking thirsty for knowledge.

"Because BAIC didn't put their minds on R&D at all. Can those R&D personnel be happy in their hearts?"

Zhou Andong smoked a cigarette and looked at Shen Mingsheng and the others. "So, as long as they are given enough R&D funds, don't talk about ordinary R&D personnel, even those technical big shots will follow us without hesitation."

"Damn it!" Zhang Hua said excitedly. "Then go to BAIC to poach. Since they don't value R&D, why spend money to support those technical personnel? It's better to give it to us."

Zhou Andong laughed. "Not just BAIC, but FAW, they are all the same. In addition, there are dozens or hundreds of car manufacturing factories in Sanbei Province.

I won't say to end them all, just poach ten or twenty from each factory, and we will have enough for the time being."

"Good, if there are no people, we will go poach." Shen Mingsheng said passionately. "I will set off tomorrow to sign the contract in Haining."

"Come!" Zhang Hua raised the beer bottle. "Cheers for the take-off of our car business."

Everyone raised their glasses and touched them together, then tilted their heads, no matter how much was left, and poured it into their stomachs in one breath.

"Old Qian once said to the Minister of Jinan Car Factory, if the car carrying missiles can't be made, the missiles will have to be carried. I'll carry the front, and you carry the back."

Zhou Andong put down the empty bottle and let out a long breath. "When Shen Zong found me and said he wanted to invest in a car manufacturing factory, I agreed without hesitation.

Because I was thinking at the time, we can research missiles, why can't we research a car? Since regular armies like BAIC and FAW are not promising, let us scattered soldiers do it."

Liu Zongmin took a banana and bit half of it in one bite. "I am really looking forward to it now. When our first sedan is built, I will definitely drive it around Chang'an Street a few times."

"Boss!"

A shout suddenly came from behind Zhou Andong, giving him a start. He turned his head to see it was Zhang Xuan, with several other people behind her, both men and women.

"Boss Zhou!"

"Boss Zhou!"

"Boss Zhou!"

"..."

Several people greeted Zhou Andong one after another. Some spoke Mandarin very well, and some didn't, but they could understand it.

Zhou Andong stood up to shake hands with them. Zhang Xuan introduced them to him one by one; they were all from Xiangjiang, the team she had brought over.

Zhang Hua and the others did not know Zhang Xuan, but Young Master Pu did. This guy sized Zhang Xuan up.

"You girl, we haven't seen each other for two or three years, you are really getting more and more beautiful."

Zhang Xuan glared: "Can you even talk? You sound so old-fashioned, as if you're much older than me."
