Chapter 235: The central figure

Han Songlin's gaze fell on Rong Hongshun. Although Rong Hongshun was old, he was still very sharp. Lin Wei had also spoken loudly, so Rong Hongshun naturally heard. A six-cylinder engine!

Rong Hongshun's expression changed involuntarily. Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory had fallen into its current state because of this six-cylinder engine.

The factory supported the research into this six-cylinder engine with all its might.

The engine was developed, but it had various problems.

A four-cylinder engine had been developed and produced before, but in the face of mature technology imported from abroad, the Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory's engine was technologically backward.

Since the four-cylinder engine was backward, research into a more advanced engine was carried out.

Rong Hongshun, as the factory manager, was determined and responsible, and the research and development of this six-cylinder engine was launched directly.

It has to be said that Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory did have a technical foundation.

It was also very impressive.

It really managed to develop the six-cylinder engine.

But even though it managed to develop it, the engine was immature.

How could an immature product be sold?

Sorry, the market simply would not pay.

No car company would want it either.

So the engine, which had been developed with huge investments, gobbled up a large amount of the factory's funds.

In addition, the market for single-cylinder engines at Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory was also shrinking.

The entire factory began to fall into difficulties.

Last year, the factory was still in the red.

This year, the losses have widened even further.

A group of people came out of the production workshop and did not look around.

One good thing about this old factory is that the environment inside the factory is quite nice.

The trees planted in the past have now grown up, and there are green lines on both sides of the factory road.

Rong Hongshun led the way, walking through the factory.

The entire factory is quite large, and Han Songlin even saw a vegetable garden inside.

Rong Hongshun said with a smile, 'Our employees planted that vegetable garden.'

'The vegetables are growing quite well!' Han Songlin said with a light smile, not at all surprised by the situation.

This is because in the factories he has been to in the past, employees often grew vegetables in the factory grounds.

Of course, this was usually the case with older factories.

In new factories, employees are not allowed to grow vegetables inside.

Oh, there is also a type of factory, a factory that is about to go bankrupt, where the old security guard will open up a piece of land and grow something.

Wang Huicheng also looked on with a smile. He knew this when he came for the last inspection.

When Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory was at its peak, it occupied more than 50% of the market for single-cylinder diesel engines in China.

You can imagine the prosperity back then.

Incidentally, Fuxing Industry and Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory are also related.

When Xingxing Industry moved to Yanghe back then, the workers came from Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory.

What's the feeling like?

The technical department of the internal combustion engine factory is in a courtyard with a large area.

The houses have the characteristics of the times, with grey-black brick walls and tiled roofs.

This kind of building is relatively rare in the city.

To be honest, it can still be used for decades.

'This is our technical department!' Rong Hongshun shouted as he led the way in, 'Lao Yan, Lao Yan, come out quickly, the mayor and the head of Fuxing Industry are here!'

Hearing that people from Fuxing Industry were here made many people curious.

The news that Fuxing Industry wanted to acquire Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory had been around for a long time.

In the face of the rumours of being acquired, the internal combustion engine factory did not appear to be in a state of panic.

Production continued as normal.

Everyone went to work as usual, and there were no internal problems.

Unlike some factories, which would cause a commotion when they heard they were going to be acquired.

Or perhaps factories in this situation have problems in the first place.

In fact, a situation like the internal combustion engine factory is the norm.

An old man came out of a room. He was relatively tall, but his back was a little stooped due to old age.

Yan Jun looked at the people in the courtyard and, without saying anything, slowly walked to the door of a room. He pushed open the old wooden door and turned to the group, saying, 'Come in!'

With a crack, Yan Jun pulled the lamp string and the incandescent light bulb on the ceiling came on.

The room, which had been a little dark, brightened up a little under the light.

After entering the room, Han Songlin first took a look at the surroundings.

It was amazing!

The room was full of books and all kinds of drawings.

Han Songlin casually picked up a book nearby. The title of the book was not mentioned, but it was obviously a science and engineering book.

It was about machinery.

The sound of the pages flipping quickly was a little loud in the quiet room.

Everyone who came in was shocked by the sight of the room.

After entering, Lin Wei did not look at the piles of books on the floor, but instead surveyed the bookshelves.

There were many file folders on the shelves, each of which was numbered.

Pulling out one of the folders, she found it full of design drawings and explanations.

Is this all of it?

Looking at the rows of bookshelves, Lin Wei had a fleeting moment of doubt.

'Yan, let me introduce you. This is our Mayor Wang from Jiangzhong, and this is Mr. Han Songlin, the president of Fuxing Industry.'

Yan Jun tidied up the drawings on the table and noticed that a young girl had taken the clip off the bookshelf without saying a word.

Yan Jun's gaze lingered on Han Songlin for a long time. This young man is the owner who wants to buy the factory?

Yan Jun had already heard of Fuxing Industrial. One of his apprentices had already joined Fuxing Industrial. When he came back to look at him, he talked to Yan Jun about the management and system of Fuxing Industrial.

Compared to state-owned enterprises, the management system of Fuxing Industrial is high wages, high benefits, and high requirements.

In Fuxing Industrial, people with real talent and knowledge have a very comfortable life, just like being in heaven.

But people who are not capable cannot even stay in Fuxing Industrial, and it feels like hell.

The hierarchical treatment is a kind of screening of employees' abilities.

The best people stay, and the worst people leave.

Yan Jun's gaze rested on Rong Hongshun again, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There are too many people in the factory who shouldn't be there.

Although Yan Jun has been obsessed with research, he also knows that the factory has taken in a lot of people who are useless.

Two or even three people are now assigned to do the work of one person.

A few are okay, but now most of the factory is like this.

'Hello, Yan Gong, nice to meet you!' Looking at Yan Jun, who wears glasses, Han Songlin knows that this person must have been buried in drawings for a long time.

If the internal combustion engine factory is really to be acquired, then Yan Gong's living conditions and so on must be greatly improved.

For example, this lamp seems to be many years old at a glance.

And the table, the paint on it has almost all fallen off.

Yan Jun doesn't know what Han Songlin is thinking, and if he did, he wouldn't know what to say. This lamp and table have been with him since he first came to the factory.

Over the years, they have developed a bond.
