“Why? Why is this? These damn Huaxia people, they can’t make such a foolish decision. Cooperating with us at Ling San Heavy Industries is their best choice. Apart from us, no group in the world is willing to pay such a tremendous price.” As soon as Kenji Ono heard the news, he leapt up in a fit of rage. It was as if someone had stepped on his tail; he was incredibly crazed and began bellowing at the person next to him without any decorum.

Lin Jianyi viewed Kenji Ono’s attitude with disdain, snorting coldly, “Bastard, shut your mouth. Stop putting on such a condescending act. Can’t you see the situation clearly now?”

At this moment, Lin Jianyi felt like exploding with anger. These subordinates of his were too ignorant of the market situation. The current state of affairs had already been made clear. The Hongjiang Provincial Committee had made its decision. As the CEO of Ling San Heavy Industries’ vast Huaxia region, Lin Jianyi had been in Huaxia for many years. He had connections with many local governments and was very clear about the intricacies of Huaxia’s officialdom. The ways of Huaxia’s bureaucracy could not be judged or reasoned with using a regular mindset, nor looked upon with the rules of the business world. Now that Ling San Heavy Industries had received a message from the other party, it indicated that the authorities of Hongjiang Province had completely abandoned them.

Seeing Lin Jianyi lose his temper, Kenji Ono could not care about his own bruised ego and was somewhat shocked, saying to Lin Jianyi, “Mr. Kobayashi, has Hongjiang Province gone mad? Without us, are they not afraid that the people from Hongcheng Machinery Factory will cause trouble?”

Lin Jianyi was infuriated by Kenji Ono’s ignorance, but he managed to hold back. It wasn’t Ono’s fault, after all–Lin Jianyi had arranged for him to focus solely on the Hongcheng Machinery Factory front, so naturally, Ono was unclear about other matters.

Lin Jianyi paused before adding, “According to the information I’ve received, Moving Mountain Group has already sent signals to the Hongjiang Provincial Committee. It’s very likely that they have already reached an agreement with the province.”

As he finished speaking, Lin Jianyi told the two men, “Moreover, according to reliable information, Director Fu and others from Hongcheng Machinery Factory have been taken into custody by the police. You two must return home immediately. We can only abandon this endeavor.”

Hongjiang Provincial Government Building

Inside the conference room,

at this very moment, all members of the Hongcheng Machinery Factory restructuring leadership group were seated, including He Yusheng. Representatives from the Hongjiang Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Hongcheng City Government, and the factory and worker representatives of Hongcheng Machinery Factory were all sitting in the conference room. Across from them were representatives of Moving Mountain Group, a well-known domestic heavy industry enterprise.

To demonstrate the importance Moving Mountain Group placed on these business negotiations, Ou Jinnian, the chairman of the group, personally participated throughout.

At this moment, both Ou Jinnian and He Yusheng stood up simultaneously. Across the conference table, both men extended their hands and shook. Smiles appeared on both their faces.

“Governor He, it’s a pleasure to cooperate! Here, I assure everyone that choosing Moving Mountain Group is undoubtedly the best option for Hongcheng Machinery Factory. None of the leaders here will regret this decision,” Ou Jinnian expressed confidently.

Ou Jinnian was serious with his words. With the acquisition of international patents for hydraulic technology, Moving Mountain Group could break through foreign technological barriers for many of its heavy industry products, thereby opening up to the international market without incurring additional costs. Even more importantly, relying on this patent, they could set international standards and collect patent fees from others, enhancing Moving Mountain Group’s status in the global heavy industry sector. This was what Ou Jinnian valued most.

He Yusheng was also very pleased at this moment. After two days of tough negotiations and clashing interests, both parties had finally reached an agreement. For Hongjiang Province, Moving Mountain Group would invest in building a main production base in Hongcheng over the next five years, based on Hongcheng Machinery Factory, with a total investment reaching fifty billion yuan. This alone was a significant victory.

Besides, Moving Mountain Group would fully handle the transfer of social security and medical insurance for retired workers from Hongcheng Machinery Factory. For the current employees, they would adopt a train-then-assess approach, retaining the workers to the greatest extent, which was undoubtedly a major concession. As for those who couldn’t pass the assessment after training, there was nothing more to say. In every state-owned enterprise, there are inevitably some who loaf around, and they are tolerated if the enterprise is doing well. But for a restructuring enterprise, no one wants to keep slackers. The opportunity had been fought for them; if they still didn’t cherish it, then no one else was to blame. “The pitiable have a contemptible aspect – some things can’t be helped,” they were told.

He Yusheng then smiled and said, “Chairman Ou, the pleasure is all mine. We can foresee that Moving Mountain Group’s investment in Hongjiang will be a mutually beneficial and excellent affair for both parties.”

Afterwards, He Yusheng continued, “Chairman Ou, the draft for negotiations has been set. Next, our administrative personnel on both sides will work overtime to produce the final contract. My intention is to hold a major and solemn signing ceremony at Hongcheng Machinery Factory. In addition, I would like to invite Secretary Nie to attend and hold an onsite office meeting at Hongcheng Machinery Factory as a celebration of Moving Mountain Group’s entry. What do you think?”

Upon hearing He Yusheng’s proposal, Ou Jinnian only hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Governor He, such a great opportunity is naturally something I would be eager to seek.”

Ou Jinnian’s words were not the least bit insincere; they were entirely heartfelt. Nie Zhenbang was the top leader in Hongjiang Province, and if he could be persuaded to attend, it would be a significant event for Moving Mountain Group, potentially saving the company a substantial amount in investment costs in Hongjiang. More importantly, it could reduce a lot of trouble. As the saying goes, ‘one shows respect for the monk out of respect for the Buddha.’ If Nie, the Secretary himself, gave such attention to the investment project, anyone in the province who dared to cause trouble would be foolishly courting death, wouldn’t they?

The end of March and the beginning of April mark the season when spring flowers bloom.

Today, it’s a rare, sunny day with clear skies.

By 8 a.m., the entrance to Hongcheng Machinery Factory was already swarming with people. Today was not only the day for an on-site work meeting at the Hongcheng Machinery Factory but also the moment for the signing ceremony of Moving Mountain Group’s acquisition of the Factory.

At the entrance of the plant area, along both sidewalks, hydrogen balloons were lined up, one every fifty meters, each hanging a banner. They all carried congratulatory slogans from various units in Hongcheng City as well as the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

On the walls and railings on both sides of the plant area, colored flags fluttered vigorously in the wind every two meters. Inside the plant area, in front of the office building of Hongcheng Machinery Factory, a stage had already been set up, with a red carpet laid out all the way to the gate of the plant. Above the stage, a large red banner hung. “Yishan Group Red River Project Signing Ceremony.”

At 8 a.m. sharp, employees and their families had already gathered on both sides of the road, leaving a central pathway clear.

Right on time at ten, the special car carrying Nie Zhenbang had arrived at the gate of the plant area, where He Yusheng and Ou Jinnian walked side by side to greet him.

The car door opened, and Nie Zhenbang stepped down, smiling and waving to the crowd on both sides.

“Secretary, you’ve arrived,” He Yusheng had already approached with a smile. At this moment, He Yusheng was very proud. Since the new team took charge in Hongjiang Province, with Wen Baogui responsible for the Travel Expo and himself responsible for Hongcheng Machinery Factory, the entire province’s leadership was watching this event. Undoubtedly, at this time, bringing in Moving Mountain Group to invest in Hongcheng Machinery Factory, and with such generous investment terms, he had already won the first round.

Nie Zhenbang also smiled as he shook hands with He Yusheng, saying, “Comrade Yusheng, this time you’ve done well. Tapping into Moving Mountain Group, a heavy industry conglomerate famous even internationally, is a major victory for Hongjiang in terms of attracting investment.”

Then, turning to Ou Jinnian, Nie Zhenbang extended his hand and said, “Director Ou, on behalf of Hongjiang Provincial Committee, I extend a warm welcome to Moving Mountain Group for investing in Hongjiang.”

Following that, under the witness of Nie Zhenbang and chaired by Yao Dingguo, the Hongcheng City Municipal Committee Secretary, He Yusheng and Ou Jinnian, representing Hongjiang Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the investing party, respectively, signed the cooperation agreement. This signified the official acquisition of Hongcheng Machinery Factory by Moving Mountain Group.

With the official signing, the venue immediately erupted into thunderous applause. He Yusheng gave an enthusiastic speech on behalf of the Hongjiang Provincial Government. Following that, Ou Jinnian stood up and made a speech as well.

After this, Ou Jinnian changed the tone of his speech and loudly said, “Now please welcome Mr. Qin Fangwen, an engineer from Hongcheng Machinery Factory.”

Qin Fangwen, the developer and applicant of the international hydraulic patent, had placed the ownership of the patent in the name of Hongcheng Machinery Factory. It can be said that the confidence of the Hongjiang Provincial Committee and Government largely depended on Qin Fangwen’s patent.

Qin Fangwen never anticipated that he would have a role to play in such a setting. As soon as he stepped on stage, Ou Jinnian took a red booklet from the staff next to him and loudly announced, “Next, I declare that Yishan Group Red River Co., Ltd. will hire Mr. Qin Fangwen with an annual salary of two million yuan as the Chief Engineer of Yishan Group’s Red River company. Additionally, in recognition of Mr. Qin Fangwen’s contributions to the company, an extra reward of ten million yuan and a villa will be granted to him.”

This sudden announcement instantaneously caused an uproar at the venue, surprising everyone. Even Nie Zhenbang had not expected this. His view of Ou Jinnian changed as well. It seemed Ou Jinnian’s success wasn’t just luck. This move alone proved Ou Jinnian’s worth. (To be continued.
