Chapter 237: Star Sea

Rong Hongshun couldn't sit still. After sitting with Han Songlin for a while, he wanted to get to work. It would be good to go and check on production.

'President Han, it's getting late, let's go eat first?'

Han Songlin looked at the time with his hand raised, and indeed, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Looking around the office, he saw that the discussion and exchanges were still going on, and he knew that they had to end.

Nothing is more important than eating!

Going out to eat, Han Songlin took the initiative to ask Rong Hongshun to call the workshop director and other management to join them.

The place to eat was at a restaurant outside. Jiangzhong is worthy of being a city, and its economic development is indeed much better than that of the county.

You can see all kinds of restaurants everywhere on the streets.

Naturally, the dinner table was a good time to exchange ideas, and Han Songlin introduced Rong Hongshun and Yan Jun to one of Fuxing Industrial's future development goals:

to become the most powerful industrial group in China and even the world.

'Compared with the United States, the most technologically advanced country in the world, there is still a big gap between our country and the world. But I believe that through the hard work of our generation, the country we pass on to the next generation will be a country with strong technology, economic prosperity, and an abundant life for the people.' Han Songlin was telling the truth. After the hard work of previous generations, China can now compete directly with the United States after 30 years.

This is something that no one would have imagined.

Why am I saying all this? Because the workers at state-owned enterprises nowadays have a strong sense of ownership of the whole country.

'Let's not talk about these big things for now. After Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory is merged into Fuxing Industry, everyone's treatment will definitely be greatly improved. I understand that everyone is not doing well right now, and they can't even afford to feed their children meat at home.'

'But I promise that everyone will be able to eat meat at home every meal in the future.'

Eating meat every meal, even the landlords didn't have this kind of treatment back then.

'Fuxing Industry has the same treatment as you, and the management is the same.'

Rong Hongshun watched as Han Songlin's few words aroused everyone's enthusiasm. He knew that with Fuxing Industry taking over, there would be no obstacles in the future.

He didn't want to create any obstacles either.

If the factory was acquired, then he would be able to retire.

At this moment, the tension that had been building up in Rong Hongshun's heart suddenly released.

It was as if a mountain had been lifted from his shoulders, and his breathing became smooth.

As Han Songlin finished speaking, there was a round of applause.

Everyone wants a good life.

Over the next two days, Han Songlin went to Shuchuan Gear Factory and the forging factory.

The importance of gears in modern industry needs no further elaboration.

Gears are indispensable in machinery.

Shuchuan Gear Factory is technically OK, but the machinery and equipment are a bit outdated.

That's fine, anything that can be solved with money is a trivial matter.

As for the forging factory, the technology and equipment are OK.

Some of the parts used by Fuxing Industry need to be imported from here.

The whole acquisition negotiation was quite fast. After an evaluation of the factory land, equipment and technology, a deal was quickly reached.

The land and equipment were easy to evaluate, but as for the technology, there was only a rough figure.

No one could say for sure how much the technology was worth.

Worth it?

Compared to foreign countries, this technology is nothing.

In China, it is quite good.

Therefore, the entire technology was valued at 5 million yuan and acquired in its entirety.

It seems like a pretty high price.

The three factories, along with their affiliated schools, hospitals, and a three-story building in the city centre, cost Fuxing Industry a total of 40 million yuan, and Han Songlin took on 30 million yuan in debt.

The debt belonged to the bank, and Han Songlin was willing to take it on, so the bank naturally did not put up any obstacles, but instead actively cooperated.

After the acquisition, Shuchuan Internal Combustion Engine Factory was renamed Fuxing Power Company, Gear Factory was renamed Fuxing Precision Company, and Forging Factory was renamed Fuxing Forging.

Zhang Leping was responsible for the internal restructuring of the three factories.

Han Songlin also registered a new company called Xinghai Holdings; Xinghai Holdings held 100% of the shares of Fuxing Industrial, Fuxing Power, Fuxing Forging and Fuxing Precision.

In addition, Xinghai Holdings also held 80% of the shares of Fule Wine Industry.

And 100% of the shares of Han's Luwei.

And Han Songlin held 100% of the shares of Xinghai Holdings.

The name Xinghai comes from the simple fact that it means 'the sea of stars'!

Xinghai Holdings is registered not in Jiangzhong, but in Rongcheng.

Compared to Jiangzhong, Rongcheng is naturally much better.

At this time, Han Songlin is not concerned with the company's affairs, but is standing in front of a building.

This building previously belonged to Fuxing Precision.

It has now been allocated by Han Songlin alone and has become an asset of the newly established Xinghai Real Estate.

What does Han Songlin want to do with this building?

A supermarket!

Han Songlin's long-cherished dream is finally about to come true.

Han Songlin has long wanted to set up a supermarket.

But due to the problems at Fuxing Industry, he never got around to it.

Han Songlin had even given up hope.

However, when he acquired the company, he discovered that the Gear Factory actually owned a building in the city centre.

The building has three floors and is relatively short.

However, it is particularly suitable for use as a supermarket.

The building was constructed for the purpose of opening a department store. It was an attempt at a side business for the gear factory.

However, after the department store opened, there was a serious backlog of goods, internal management was chaotic, and there were persistent losses.

Needless to say, it went out of business.

Then the building stood empty for two or three years.

Rent it?

No one is renting it now.

When Han Songlin learned that there was such a building, he was quite surprised.

He quickly came over to take a look, and the idea of opening a supermarket grew stronger in his heart.

This has to be done!

Of course, to open a supermarket, it is not the case that if you say you want to do it today, you can just do it.

To create the kind of supermarket we usually see, was it possible in the mid-1990s?

Han Songlin said very definitely, yes.

Absolutely.

It's basically concentrated in the first-tier cities, on the cashier equipment.

Especially in the capital city, which now concentrates the best intellectual resources in the country.

So, if Han Songlin wanted to set up a supermarket, the cashier equipment, as well as the commodity coding equipment and the like, he still had to go to the capital city to find it.

First, the decoration had to be done.

Han Songlin didn't say he was going to find another decoration company. Previously, when the Han's Marinated Delicacies renovated the store, they had cooperated with a decoration company.

They had already cooperated once, so a second time would seem quite normal.

If they wanted to compete with the existing supermarkets in a differentiated way, then they would have to have something of their own.

So Han Songlin directly added a fresh food supermarket.

After the supermarket decoration was settled, it was almost October.
