Chapter 554: Lowering Expectations

Changhe Machinery Factory.
During the time Zhou Hengyang was in his hometown, there was no progress at all in the Research and Development Center. In addition to his absence, the remaining workers and old masters could not meet his expectations nor keep up with his pace. If he wanted to develop the most satisfactory engine, he still had to work hard.
However, even if the best engine couldn’t be developed, it was possible to develop an ordinary one.
Looking at the haggard employees around him, he knew that during his absence, everyone did not slack off and worked quite hard. Zhou Hengyang frowned and realized that his previous request was too high. A top-notch engine was not something they could develop.
It was too difficult!
Since that was the case, he could only lower his expectations and take them step by step!
Therefore, he spent four and a half hours reconfirming the next development plan for Changhe Machinery Factory. That was to produce hand-guided tractors, four-wheel tractors, and harvesters.
During his visit to Trinity Village this time, he conducted research with the limited time available and made precise assessments that these three types of machinery would be the most in-demand mainstream products for the next twenty years.
As for twenty years later, with the development of the economy, the most in-demand products would still be cars.
In less than 20 years, cars had already begun to flourish, and the demand was gradually increasing.
After Zhou Hengyang temporarily lowered his expectations, everyone in the research center cheered. At the same time, they were ashamed of themselves for being useless. Zhou Hengyang then called the factory manager over and arranged the next stage of production and sales.
Ordinary machinery was not difficult for Zhou Hengyang at all. Many of the technical problems that were difficult to overcome were solved.
When Pan Yi, the factory manager, looked at the information and production plan in his hand, his eyes almost popped out.
“Big Boss, this, this… Is this a new type of harvester? Could they really not waste food and not have any requirements on the size and height of the fields? Is it really suitable for anywhere?” Pan Yi’s voice was trembling, as if someone had grabbed his neck.
He was ostracized in his original unit, and every time he worked hard to make a profit, it would be snatched away by his connections. He had been working for ten years, but he had never been promoted or given a raise.
He only received a pitiful salary every month.
It would have been fine if he didn’t have the ability, but he had clearly done the most and done the best, yet he was being suppressed the most. This time, he really couldn’t take it anymore and rose up to resist. The result was also very miserable and he was fired.
He was fired in disgrace for stealing from the factory and was even detained for fifteen days.
If he had such a bad reputation, his life would be ruined.
Just as he was at his wit’s end, a client told him, by chance, that the recently popular Changhe Machinery Factory was hiring. Then, he entered the company that everyone envied and dreamed of entering.
He was personally recruited by the big boss and appointed as the factory manager.
The big boss even asked someone to inform his original unit and clear his name of stealing. He would never forget the fear in the eyes of those who had framed him back then. It was the same as the envy and jealousy of his former colleagues when they found out that he had entered Changhe.
He didn’t even mention that he was Changhe’s factory manager.
From that moment on, Pan Yi decided that his life would belong to the big boss.
“If we can really develop such an advanced harvester, then our factory…Our factory is about to soar to the sky. It’s unimaginable… It’s simply unimaginable.” Pan Yi was so excited that he was incoherent. He was still serious and meticulous when he was working..
