The kidney-deficient young man's tone was arrogant, but he indeed had the capital. With the pressure from eight major provinces on Guānjiāng Province, Wang Yu had no choice but to bow his head.
Especially after information about Wang Yu spread in the past two days, it made them even more smug.
Weren't you very arrogant and powerful?
Weren't you setting prices arbitrarily and taking the opportunity to increase the price of engines you supplied us?
Weren't you always crushing overseas experts and stepping on the Great Island companies?
Weren't you receiving large orders of 3,000 vehicles at once, and your coaches were praised by representatives from various provinces?
Now, aren't you still obediently bowing to us!
With the big shots from the ministries behind them making a move, can't your small automobile factory be easily manipulated? Don't take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you are, and you still dare to demand exorbitant conditions from us!
The kidney-deficient young man sneered. Although each of them had to pay one million, totaling eight million for the so-called technical transfer fee, they still had to show some respect to the Guānjiāng provincial authorities. It was like giving alms to a beggar.
As long as they colluded to divide the domestic market and then ventured overseas!
The fuel-assisted vehicle was simply a perfect product. It could seize the motorcycle market from above and be compatible with bicycle needs from below. Such a good thing falling into the hands of an amateur like Wang Yu was like a pearl being covered in dust!
This money should be earned by us!
The kidney-deficient young man's face became even more smug, "Where is Wang Yu? Tell him to get out here!"
"You... I told you, our little factory director is not here. If you have something to say, you can tell me."
Han Jun puffed out his chest, trying to maintain the facade, "He's not here? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling you, I..."
Before the kidney-deficient young man could finish, he was interrupted by the middle-aged woman from Yongwang Bicycle Factory reaching out her hand.
"Alright, we didn't come here to curse. Wang Yu, that turtle egg, is clearly too ashamed to hide and doesn't want to see us. There's no need to see him specifically; looking at him irritates me."
After speaking, the middle-aged woman extended her fair palm towards Han Jun, "It doesn't matter if Wang Yu, that turtle egg, isn't here. Just give us the engine technology, that's why we're here."
"You..." Hearing this old woman call their little factory director a turtle egg repeatedly, Han Jun was naturally very unwilling, but for the sake of the overall situation, he calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and produced a stack of files that had been prepared long ago.
"The engine technology and drawings are all here, including various detailed parameters. As for the production line you need, you can come to Jiāngyáng County to take over it directly after the eight million arrives."
Han Jun said with a cold face, handing over the files.
The moment the files were handed over, heartache, reluctance, grievance, and helplessness... various emotions appeared on Han Jun's face, looking complex and mixed. His hand holding the files even trembled.
"Heh heh, wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? You had to waste everyone's time."
The middle-aged old woman said with a cold laugh, taking the files. Looking at Han Jun's heartbroken expression, she put them away without even looking at them.
They believed that under the joint sanctions of the eight major provinces, even if Wang Yu had the guts of heaven, he wouldn't dare to tamper with these drawings and files.
Besides, even if they were given these things, they wouldn't understand them! The drawings and parameters on them were like playing the lute to a cow for them, completely useless. In any case, they would have specialized technicians to handle them back there.
"Don't worry, we have already arranged for people to take over your production line in Jiāngyáng County. We will settle the fees directly at that time. We are not like you uncivilized bumpkins who have never seen the world. We won't owe you this small amount of money."
The middle-aged man with narrowed eyes said magnanimously, then led everyone away, leaving only their arrogant and triumphant backs.
"Pah! What's there to be so smug about?"
A worker from the automobile factory couldn't help but spit at them, looking very indignant.
"Heh heh, it's alright. The little factory director said that the higher you stand, the harder you fall. I hope these guys don't regret their decision today in the future!"
Han Jun chuckled, completely losing the sadness and pain from before, and said directly, "As per the little factory director's instructions, have all the bicycle and motorcycle manufacturers been notified?"
"They have all been notified. Although many of them think we are deceiving them and don't believe we would selflessly offer the technology, none of them have objected."
The worker replied.
"That's natural. Everyone is not a fool; they are waiting and seeing. Anyway, there's no loss for them to get the technology for free. If it's real, it's naturally a great bargain, and if the technology is fake, it won't affect them... After all, not everyone is like our former director, that idiot, who invested heavily in research and development of products without even understanding whether it was real or fake."
Han Jun chuckled, and also took the opportunity to complain about his former director. That guy was just messing around. If it weren't for Wang Yu's sudden appearance, they might still be eating coarse grain and drinking thin gruel now!
"Alright, enough nonsense! You go and give all these technologies, including all the design drafts and component parameters for the fuel-assisted vehicles, to each of them.
Those who can attend the meeting will get one copy per person. Those who are not qualified to attend will have it mailed to them directly."
As he spoke, Han Jun took out files that were even thicker than the ones given to the representatives of the eight major bicycle factories. Dozens of copies were packed into several large cardboard boxes.
"Yes! Section Chief Han."
The workers agreed, and one of them asked Han Jun doubtfully, "But what if they don't want it after we give it to them?"
"Don't worry, the little factory director said one thing: no matter how unwilling they are, the market will help them make a choice!" m..oΓg
Han Jun said this meaningfully.
...
In Jiāngyáng County, Secretary Yang directly arrived at the automobile factory industrial park.
Wang Yu's mobilization of the entire county yesterday to invite workers to work was naturally approved by him.
After all, the higher authorities had just let Wang Yu down, so Secretary Yang felt it was appropriate to compensate him a little.
Moreover, Wang Yu offered a high hourly wage of ten yuan for temporary labor, which was a good thing for the livelihoods of Jiāngyáng County. Secretary Yang had no reason to refuse.
It's just that now, with everyone in the county heating their furnaces and casting molds, the large amount of black smoke is quite bad for the environment.
However, Wang Yu had also explained that it was only temporary for a few days and would not have a significant impact on the environment.
This was fundamentally due to the inadequacy of their own equipment and processes, forcing them to use old, traditional methods for smelting.
In the future, they would still rely on practical doers like Wang Yu to gradually improve their industrial foundation, which was the correct path!
Secretary Yang pondered as he passed by several workers using makeshift methods of plaster casting molds and then crude embryo smelting.
Seeing Secretary Yang's arrival, the workers quickly stepped forward to bow and greet him.
"Mm, you may continue your work."
Waving his hand, Secretary Yang signaled them to ignore him and then asked, "Where is Wang Yu?"
"The little factory director? He's in the office!"
A worker from the automobile factory pointed to Wang Yu's office not far away.
"Since the automated mechanized production line began operating after being debugged last night, the little factory director and Miss Línglíng have been holed up in the office and haven't come out since."
"Oh? It seems he must be working very hard, with so many things to do." Secretary Yang sighed slightly.
"Under pressure from the eight major provinces, the higher authorities sacrificed Wang Yu's interests. He must be very upset! That's why he's locked himself in the office and won't come out. Fine, I'll go and comfort him."
Thinking this, Secretary Yang walked to the door of Wang Yu's office. Just as he was about to knock, he heard a strange sound from inside.
