Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If they could not mass produce it, Lu Ming Corporation might collapse.
‘Then the Tang family would have a chance to swallow them up and take the new energy technology and flying car as their own! Their achievements would all go to someone else. At the thought of this, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier.
‘There was no way out.
He fell into despair once again.
He had used all his connections to secure the partnerships, but they were cut off by the Tang family in just a few days. They even used their power to suppress them.
It was terrible.
He did not know what to do to salvage the situation.
“Sigh.”
He Xiaopeng lay on the back of the car. He wondered if he was not suited to do big things. Perhaps… ‘m too incompetent? I can’t even do such a small thing. I’ve really let down those people’s trust in me.
Ineed you and your talents!
Lu Ming’s words from back then echoed in his mind again. He rubbed his reddened eyes. His boss trusted him so much. How could he give up just like that?
He pulled himself together and thought to himself that they have to deliver the best results successfully at the upcoming Global Automotive Development Forum, which would be held in three months.
In other words, the car had to be mass-produced within three months! Time was tight, and he had to grasp every minute and second. He could not continue to be so dispirited! He had to do what he could!
At the thought of this, he took out his slightly hot phone and dialed a number. “The suppliers that we had previously engaged have all defaulted. They would rather pay the penalty than continue working together. I hope you can prepare the team for this.”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Xia Heng asked in disbelief, “Are you sure? They all broke the agreement? How is that possible?! Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”
“Tm sure. I’ve already met them personally. For now, we’ll just make as many cars as we can. I’ll think of a way as soon as possible. Who knows, we might suddenly work overtime like crazy when we get close to the deadline.”
He Xiaopeng said with a grave expression. He hoped that everyone in the team was a night owl.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll try to calm them down.”
It would be bad if working overtime suddenly gave them a nervous breakdown.
After hanging up, Xia Heng clapped three times to attract the attention of the others and said, “Something happened to the supply chain at the last minute. Do as much as you can now. Brother Peng has already tried his best to negotiate. It might be hard on you in the future. You have to make enough
within a short timeframe!”
‘When this news was out, everyone’s expression turned ugly!
“E*ck! It can’t be, right? We barely made it according to the plan, and now there’s actually a problem? Oh my god! I feel like I can’t breathe! Our factory doesn’t have many people to begin with, and we still have to do this and that! Just thinking about it makes me tired!”
“wish I was dreaming! I thought that I could completely relax after producing a prototype, but who knew that I would have to work overnight? Although the salary is indeed quite high, but… compared to this, I’d rather have less salary and easier work.”
“Twant to jump ship. This is too tiring, right? Even a donkey from the production team can’t be so rushed, right? I want to die on the spot. I really don’t want to face this reality. My body and mind are exhausted. After finishing this job, I definitely need to rest for more than half a year to adjust!”
He Xiaopeng called Lu Ming again. “Boss, those suppliers regret their decision at the last minute and are unwilling to collaborate with us. The Tang family is behind this. They did it to stop us.”
“Tang family?”
Lu Ming, who was in the office, was a little surprised. He had thought that the Tang family did not exist at the moment! He did not expect the other party to come knocking on his door!
He chuckled and said, “Interesting,”
An unexpected response.
However, for some reason, He Xiaopeng felt relieved. He could not help but ask, “Boss, did you expect this?”
“Who do you think I am? A god?”
Lu Ming continued, “This is not difficult. I have already prepared a backup plan. We can definitely build the target number of cars within the specified time.”
A gasp could be heard from the other end. Everything is ready. If he’s not a god, what is he?he thought.
He Xiaopeng’s tense nerves finally relaxed. “That’s good, that’s good. Oh right, I told Xia Heng about this just now. You can tell them the good news too!”
“Okay.”
Putting away his cell phone, Lu Ming put down his pen and rushed to the factory. The moment he entered, he noticed that the people looked a lot more dispirited. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Why do you look like you are not fully awake?”
“Tjust heard bad news.”
He Tao went forward and asked softly, “Have you thought of a solution to the matter of the spare parts?”
The employees who were working pricked their ears.
Seeing this, Lu Ming could not help but laugh. “I came here to talk about this. Since everyone is here, let’s put down our work and listen to me.”
They obediently put down their work and looked at him.
“Tknow that you guys contributed greatly to the successful production of the new car. When I came over previously, I saw some of you sleeping on the ground from exhaustion. The effort you guys put in is definitely not less than mine. Now, you guys have to make a certain number of cars in a hurry. I
think anyone would be frustrated.”
Lu Ming paused for a moment and continued, “But you don’t have to worry. I will resolve this matter. I won’t let you bear all the pressure! Buck up! My requirements are not high. Do as much as you can. At the same time, I hope that you can guarantee the quality!
Think of the shocked gazes of future generations when cars are launched! Think of how your family would look like sitting in a car that you personally designed! I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. You’ve put in all your effort, so I’ll naturally return the favor! After the mass production is over, each of
our employees—above middle management—will be rewarded with 2 million yuan! Each of our front-line employees will receive 500 thousand yuan!”
In his opinion, monetary reward was the most practical thing to give. After all, in life, money was needed for everything.
‘When those employees heard this, their eyes lit up!
“Two million yuan!? What the f*ck! Boss is so generous! This is the first time I’ve seen such a big reward! I suddenly feel hot-blooded! Working overtime is not a problem!”
“So that’s what happened! The last time, I fell asleep on the floor in a daze, but when I woke up, I found myself in the lounge. I thought it was a colleague who did that! I didn’t expect it to be the boss! Isn’t this too gentle?”
“I told my family that I’m researching this project. I even promised them that I’ll bring them out to play after I’m done! Wouldn’t it be cool to drive a new car out?! That’d be pretty cool!”
