The testing workshop was bustling with company executives around nine in the morning, all keenly focused on the testing process.
This testing was of utmost importance to the automobile factory. If the tests went smoothly, the company's new car could be produced on schedule. Conversely, if this trial run failed, the new car project would likely be shelved indefinitely, which would be a severe blow to the company's future development.
Even before Liu Kai Xuan arrived, discussions within the workshop were already heated and continuous. The onlookers were divided into optimists and pessimists, engaged in lively debate.
The optimists argued:
"This prototype was designed and manufactured through relentless hard work, day and night, by the chairman and everyone else!"
"In fact, we already conducted an initial test run before!"
"The design is very reasonable; there shouldn't be any issues!"
As long as this engine could be delivered on time, the company's new model would be completely stable. In the future, under the chairman's brilliant leadership, the automobile factory would surely soar to success and achieve great things!
However, the pessimists held entirely different views.
"Engine research and development, is it really that simple?"
"A classic engine from a foreign company, from design, research, testing to application!"
"It takes at least three years of operation before there's any hope of success!"
They possessed technology decades ahead of them, yet developing a new engine was still so troublesome!
"We have no technical accumulation here and are starting research from scratch."
"How can we expect to succeed in less than a year?"
"I'm afraid this prototype test will likely end up like the last one!"
"It'll break down as soon as it's on the test bench!"
Just then, Liu Kai Xuan entered the workshop.
With Liu Kai Xuan's arrival, the previously noisy testing workshop suddenly became quiet. The murmuring crowd instantly calmed down. Liu Kai Xuan wasted no time, briefly introducing the technical parameters of the new machine to everyone. Then, the new machine testing officially began.
"Rumble..."
A sharp engine roar echoed, and the engine on the test bench started operating normally. Those watching from below craned their necks, their eyes wide, closely observing every movement on the platform.
Liu Kai Xuan had conducted a similar test a few months prior. The engine at that time had successfully ignited.
"It's a pity, though, that it stalled after running for only a short while!"
If the developed product had serious quality defects, this trial run was also destined to be unsuccessful!
...
Time ticked by. After 30 minutes, meeting the expected test results, the technicians shut down the testing machine.
"Clap, clap, clap..." A round of crisp applause erupted from the audience.
This testing process was, for the most part, a success!
"Boss, you are truly amazing!" Liu Yu Qian exclaimed, practically dancing with joy. "I always knew that if you set your mind to something, there's nothing you can't accomplish!"
Liu Kai Xuan waved his hand with a smile. "Alright, Liu Yu Qian, what kind of propriety is this, showering me with praise in front of so many people?" "Our company needs down-to-earth talent for development, not sycophants!"
Liu Yu Qian's face turned red. "Boss, you say that!" "I was just too excited, and I couldn't control myself for a moment!" "Think about it, boss, how have we been doing for the past half year?" "We've been working tirelessly every day, diligently and conscientiously!" "This past half year has truly exhausted me!"
Liu Yu Qian's words now were not at all a sign of her being overly dramatic. In her opinion, Liu Kai Xuan's behavior was sometimes difficult to understand. Currently, Liu Kai Xuan's assets, both domestic and international, were worth approximately over five billion. With such immense wealth, Liu Kai Xuan could live in luxury without lifting a finger for the rest of his life. Being such a wealthy owner, yet still working so hard. Liu Yu Qian felt that Liu Kai Xuan should be enjoying his life as a rich man, which would be the best option.
Of course, Liu Yu Qian was unaware that the business world is like a battlefield! Although Liu Kai Xuan now possessed vast assets, most of them were not easily convertible to cash. Every step in the company's development had to be taken with caution and a focus on stability. A single wrong decision by the leadership could lead to the collapse of a colossal business empire and its demise at any moment. This was absolutely not an alarmist exaggeration; Liu Kai Xuan, with his memories from a previous life, remembered it all too clearly. Back then, who among the once well-known industry giants like Jiya Mobile and Ke Da Film were not household names? When a company's leadership and strategic direction went awry, the speed of its collapse was far greater than its speed of development.
Therefore, even though the company now had considerable assets, Liu Kai Xuan absolutely could not afford to become lax or complacent. The company's future direction needed to be clear! All potential issues that could affect the company's development had to be resolved. Only after all uncertainties that might hinder the company's progress were eliminated could he relax and enjoy himself.
...
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Leaving the testing workshop and returning to his office, Liu Kai Xuan heard the urgent ringing of the telephone.
"Hello, who is this?" Liu Kai Xuan asked.
"Who do you think I am?" Ouyang Yu's indignant voice came through the receiver. "Boss, what on earth are you up to?" "You promised that once you handled things domestically, you'd come right over!" "I think you've forgotten all about the industries here?" "Oh, hehe..." Liu Kai Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. "I was wondering who it was; it's the little City Lord of Xiaoyú!" "I actually have some good news to tell you!" "Our automobile factory's engine is finally ready; the test run was just successful!" Ouyang Yu pouted. "That's truly cause for celebration!" "By the way, boss, there have been some new developments regarding the oil field!" "Kaiya Dun has basically dominated the situation, and his attitude towards us hasn't been very friendly lately." "I think you need to come back in person and have a good talk with Kaiya Dun!" Liu Kai Xuan replied calmly, "Alright, I understand." "You hold the fort for now, and I'll be there as soon as possible!"
