Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 227 Acting General Manager of the Group Company

The guests left the meeting room, Mr. Cao said to Mr. Deng:
"Mr. Deng, although the money is not much, it is not appropriate to allocate it to foreign companies like this!"

Several other bosses also frowned.

Mr. Yang said hesitantly: "The country has not yet approved the final project of this project, so the construction will start like this. If there is a problem, you have to take risks."

Mr. Deng cast his eyes on Mr. Wan. Mr. Wan hesitated a little, shook his head and said nothing.

"Xiao Zhong, what do you think?"

Mr. Deng saw that the situation was a bit stiff, so he directly ordered Zhong Cheng's general.

How else can I see it, it must be borrowing money!
Just as Zhong Cheng was about to speak, Li Changfeng said first: "I don't think there is a problem of borrowing money. Just buy the Southeast Shipyard and the Southeast Research Institute. This is investment, not borrowing money!"

Li Changfeng's words aroused everyone's interest.

This is a way to get the best of both worlds!

Everyone discussed it, and after some discussion, they all felt that it was feasible. The Southeast Shipyard was just a factory under the Huaxia Shipbuilding Group.

In order to better complete the country's key projects, the Huaxia Shipbuilding Group transferred a factory that was not very profitable, and the higher-ups would not have any objections.

After Mr. Dong invited the guests back to the conference room, Mr. Deng expressed the idea of ​​Red Star Company.

People from Southeast Shipyard and Southeast Research Institute were pleasantly surprised and expressed their willingness to join Red Star Heavy Industry Group.

In the end, the two sides agreed to act in two ends.

Mr. Wan of the Red Star Company took the lead in negotiating the acquisition with Huaxia Shipbuilding Group, and the Southeast Shipyard began to design the giant dock and related factories.

Once the initial results of the acquisition activities are obtained, the construction of the project can be started immediately.

The construction funds were transferred from Red Star Company to Huaxia Shipbuilding Group in the form of acquisition funds, and then transferred from Huaxia Shipbuilding Group to Southeast Shipyard.

This meeting was a joy for all!
2020 7 Month 10 Day.

In the auditorium on the first floor of the new headquarters building of Red Star Heavy Industry Group, the company held the first mid-level and high-level meeting after the relocation of the headquarters.

At the meeting, Mr. Wan introduced the office floors of various departments after the company's relocation, and arranged the liaison offices of each branch in the headquarters building.

The functional departments of the group headquarters are located on the 5th to 20th floors, and the branches are assigned liaison offices on the 21st to 30th floors to strengthen communication and coordination within the group company.

Floors 1-3 are used for conferences, receptions, training, and corporate culture promotion. Floor 4 is a huge staff canteen that can accommodate 1000 people for meals at the same time.

The 31st-33rd floor is the office meeting place for the senior leaders of the group company.

A huge Red Star Plaza was built on the south side of the office building, which is the size of two standard football fields.

On the north side of the office building is a huge employee leisure area.

The new headquarters building adopts the most modern interior decoration, which can be said to be an intelligent building.

After Mr. Wan introduced the functions of the building, Mr. Deng took the stage and personally announced an appointment:
"Appointment of Comrade Zhong Cheng as acting general manager of Red Star Heavy Industry Group Company, this appointment will take effect immediately!"

This news was expected by everyone, but the announcement at this time was unexpected.

After a moment of silence in the venue, there was a loud applause, which lasted for a long time.

The appointment of Zhong Cheng means that Red Star Heavy Industry Group has started the prelude to the replacement of the old and new leadership teams.

As the world's largest company, the replacement of the new and old leadership of Red Star Company has attracted the attention of the world, and it has also been the most concerned issue of millions of Red Star people in the past two years.

Because this determines whether the Red Star Company will continue to move towards greater glory, or whether its rapid development will stop here.

Mr. Deng then announced that he and several senior leaders would retire at the end of this year, which shocked the participants again.

Only half a year is left for Zhong Cheng, the acting general manager, to take over. Can he take over such a huge business smoothly?

Zhong Cheng himself had such doubts, and the news came very suddenly to him.

After the meeting, Zhong Cheng came to Mr. Deng's office next door to him.

"Leader, why are you making a surprise attack?"

President Deng ignored Zhong Cheng's complaint, he picked up a report from his desk and handed it to Zhong Cheng.

"Look first before talking!"

Zhong Cheng scanned the title. It was an application report for additional investment sent by Shao Weimin in the name of the Xihai Engineering Headquarters. It had more than 200 pages.

He turned to the end and looked at the budget summary. He also needed to invest more than 800 billion yuan and transfer more than 1000 engineers and technicians.

"This!"

Zhong Cheng took a deep breath, and only approved an additional budget of 1 billion at the company meeting in January this year, and it has only been used up in half a year?
He was about to take a closer look at what the new items were, when Mr. Deng interrupted him.

"Go down and look again. You are the initiator of the Xihai Project. First, calculate how much the project has cost in less than two years?"

Zhong Cheng did some calculations, and immediately came up with the answer.

"The budget for the first phase of the project is 500 billion, and the second phase is 5000 billion. It will be invested in five years, but it is less than two years now. Not counting the new 800 billion, more than 3500 billion has been used."

Mr. Deng snorted and said, "Up to now, the Lithium Industry Company has started production, and it would be good to have an output value of 200 billion yuan a year!"

Liu Yuzhu reported the status of the project to Zhong Cheng every week, and Zhong Cheng was very clear about the Xihai project.

"Mr. Deng, more than a dozen mining factories will start production this year, and chemical companies will also start production. Next year's output value will exceed 3000 billion. It is no problem to recover the investment within five years."

Zhong Cheng made a pertinent evaluation of the Xihai Project.

Mr. Deng asked rhetorically: "If there is additional investment in the future, 1000 billion, 2000 billion or even trillions of dollars of investment, do you still have to approve it?"

"They will certainly have reasons that we cannot refute, and those reasons will continue until the headquarters can't come up with money."

"This!" Zhong Cheng was stopped by the question.

Mr. Deng pondered for a moment, then solemnly said:
"You have to solve the matter that you have caused. I announced your appointment in advance to give you a 'sword of Shang Fang'. You can handle this matter on my behalf!"

Zhong Cheng secretly complained, now that he has so many things on his hands, he really doesn't want to go to Qaidam.

But Mr. Deng's arrangement is obviously a test for him. If he can't handle this kind of thing well, it will be difficult for him, the "acting general manager", to become a regular.

Since the country and the company have chosen him, even if he doesn't want to be the general manager, he doesn't want to be rejected because of his lack of ability.

"Okay, I'll go to Qaidam to find out the situation and solve this trouble!"

……

Zhong Cheng returned to the office and called Zhou Hu and Yang Shuzhen.

He arranged for Zhou Hu to coordinate the move of the R&D office into the new R&D building at home, and Yang Shuzhen went to Qaidam with him.

Because he was not sure how long it would take to go to Qaidam, he did not leave immediately.

In the afternoon, at the on-site command center of the Nuwa Project, he convened a key meeting of the R&D team.

The sky patching project will be completed soon, and Yang Xi's team will be able to get away as soon as the Qingluan passenger plane rolls off the production line.

Zhong Cheng arranged for Yang Xi and the others in advance to be responsible for the interpretation of the design plan of the Qinglong aircraft carrier and the preparation of the technical drawings.

It is still early for the Nuwa project to end, but the design work has been completed, and most people can also withdraw to the design project of the Qinglong aircraft carrier.

What Zhong Cheng is most worried about is the construction of the benzium-310 synthesis device. The preparatory work has been completed and the civil engineering is already underway.

But progress is slow, and it may not be completed in a year.
