Chapter 51 - 51 New Boss
51 New Boss
The closed machinery manufacturing factory was bought by someone and changed into private property.
The factory was officially named Changhe Machinery Factory. More than a hundred employees were hired, saving more than a hundred families in despair.
Today was the reopening day of the Changhe Machinery Factory. All the employees were energetic and changed into new work clothes to give a good impression to their new boss.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began at eight in the morning.
When everyone saw the new boss, they were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
The new boss was so young. He was definitely not even thirty years old.
The man in the middle of the crowd was tall and straight. He was at least 1.86 meters tall. He had a handsome face, a high nose, and eagle-like eyes under his thick black eyebrows. The first impression of him was that of a famous phrase.
Sharp and firm.
That’s right. It was the term used to describe intelligent and decisive warriors in history.
He was a man that everyone respected yet feared. Her tanned skin was glowing with a healthy and alluring luster. His expression was serious and stern. But when you asked him a question, he would patiently answer.
“Mr. Zhou, this way, please. All the workers in the factory have gathered at the small sports field,” The old factory team leader stood in front of Zhou Hengyang nervously. Even his breathing had become careful.
It was strange that the new boss didn’t show arrogance and gave people a bad attitude. On the contrary, his words and actions were very polite. He was very courteous and respectful to this old man. Yet, why was the old man nervous?
The other team leaders behind the senior staff were also very nervous as they thought, “My God, the new boss is indeed a big shot who can buy the old machinery factory. He’s countless times better than the old damned boss.”
“Okay!” Zhou Hengyang nodded and brought his men over to give an opening speech.
Actually, it wasn’t much. He just said a few words to calm everyone down and dismissed them. Afterward, he organized the technical department’s staff to set up future development plans.
“Stop the development of the machinery factory. In the future, we will be mainly engaged in automobile manufacturing. Before we overcome the engine problem, we will first manufacture sewing machines and bicycles to cope with the current predicament of the factory.”
Zhou Hengyang’s words were earth-shattering, and the people from the technology department were so shocked that their faces turned pale.
The old technician was dumbfounded. After a long time, he said with a trembling voice, “B…Boss, it’s not a big problem for us to make bicycles. It’s not difficult. But … we don’t even know how to make a sewing machine, let alone a car…”
Everyone thought, “Good lords… Is the new boss crazy? He wanted to make cars?”
“Why didn’t he say that he was making an airplane?”
Zhou Heng Yang’s cold and sharp eyes did not waver at all. Instead, he announced calmly, “From today onwards, the technology department will be renamed the Research and Development Center. I will personally lead it. Alright, if there’s nothing else, we’ll end the meeting first. I’m sure you still have a lot of things to do today, so we’ll officially start tomorrow.”
Everyone got back to their work, worried. When they were outside, the old technician grabbed the young man who had contacted them on behalf of the new boss.
“Liu, what does the new boss mean? Why are we making cars? We don’t know how to make it!”
“That’s right. The factory wouldn’t have closed down if we knew how to make cars.
“Liu, please advise the new boss not to follow the old path of the previous factory manager. We have to be down-to-earth when doing things, and we can’t be too overconfident.”
Liu Chun, who was being held back, comforted everyone with a smile. “Don’t worry. Just wait for Mr. Zhou to lead us to a better future!”
This time, everyone understood what he meant.
