Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 615 Keep it up!

The voices within the board of directors were growing louder; they didn't care about the company's dignity, their primary concern was survival.

Ultimately, the board of directors made a resolution that made it very clear: Mr. Huang had to choose to cooperate with Lin Chen.

Back in his office, Boss Huang was extremely frustrated. What should he do? Did he really have to swallow his pride and beg Lin Chen for help?
Moreover, this situation is quite unique. Not only does Mr. Huang have to ask for help, but he also has to report the progress to the board of directors every day. Everyone knows that he is a person who cares about his reputation, but under these circumstances, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and negotiate with them.

Left with no other choice, he had to go to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen simply smiled after hearing this; this matter wasn't so easily resolved. Moreover, everyone knew what kind of person Boss Huang was before this.

"Actually, cooperation isn't out of the question, but now that the entire territory has been assigned to our company, there's no point in cooperating in the old way. How about this, you can just do our renovations. I remember your renovation business is pretty good."

furnish……

Lin Chen had long known that Boss Huang's renovation team was now essentially defunct. In order to enhance the competitiveness of his real estate company, Boss Huang rarely used his own construction team anymore.

In addition, many experienced craftsmen have left to start their own companies, so now Mr. Huang's renovation team is full of new craftsmen.

To ensure the projects went smoothly, he always hired other construction teams to help, and then had his novice workers learn from them. But what happened? After several projects, there was no progress at all.

So Lin Chen was also very troubled by this matter.

"I think you should have a serious talk with the company. Trying to carve out a piece of our territory now is something my company probably won't agree to. Besides, even if we agreed, the higher-ups wouldn't be happy, don't you think?"

Left with no other option, Mr. Huang had to leave disappointed. He had originally hoped to profit from this incident, but instead, he discovered his company's weakness.

When he returned to the company, he found a group of board members waiting there, eagerly awaiting a result.

Did they agree?

"They made it very clear that it's impossible for us to directly participate in the construction of their building project now; they plan to take it all on themselves. However, they can contract the decoration work to us."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"This is great news! Why not take the work? Our company started out in the renovation business, so this is perfect. Let's go and sign the contract right away. That's settled."

The speaker was the second shareholder, who was as excited as if he already had the contract in hand.

"Don't be so hasty. By now, don't you understand the actual situation of the company? Over the years, how much trust has our company placed in the renovation teams? All the skilled craftsmen have started their own companies, leaving mostly novices behind. Do you really think we can handle the work with such a group of people?"

These words immediately created an awkward atmosphere.

Everyone fell silent for a moment. In order to expand their business over the years, they had indeed neglected the decoration team.

"If this won't work, and that won't work, are you just going to sit here and wait to die? Let me tell you, Mr. Huang, this is a golden opportunity. You have to find a way to get the construction team up and this contract must be signed."

"Not always."

Mr. Huang was even more displeased at this point.

"I figured it out on the way back. I don't have to listen to you on everything. Although I am the chairman, your voices are indeed very loud in the board of directors. However, I have always been an open-minded person and am willing to listen to your opinions on everything."

Clearly, Mr. Huang's attitude has changed.

"There are so many properties, are we really going to be upset just because of this one large plot of land? We have our own real estate alliance, so leave this to me. If any of you disagree, then come directly to me. If you want me to step down from this position, then you can do it yourselves, I don't care anymore."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Everyone knew that apart from Boss Huang, no one else could control this company.

They could only swallow their anger, unsure of what to do. Clearly, this was exactly the outcome Boss Huang wanted. That very evening, he invited all the business owners together.

"I think everyone is aware of the current situation. They have already acquired the entire piece of land. Our company initially had the audacious idea of ​​doing renovations for them, but then I realized that we couldn't do it that way."

During the dinner, Mr. Huang directly expressed his thoughts.

"Hey Mr. Huang, isn't it because you think this isn't profitable? If your company's construction team were still as capable as before, I'm sure you would have agreed immediately. It's such a great order, don't you think?"

At this point, Boss Zhao became somewhat unhappy.

"To be honest, I never agreed to it at all. It's just that the spineless people in the company thought it was worth a try. But their tough attitude made us board members unhappy."

His statement shifted all the blame to the board of directors, which actually caused some concern. There's still no consensus on how to handle this matter.

"Anyway, by now, everyone should know what to do. Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say."

"Hey Lao Huang, what are you planning to do? Give us a straight answer. It seems like no one but you can handle this."

Clearly, everyone was worried that if Lin Chen took such a big piece of the "cake," his company would definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future.

"They chose that piece of land in the western suburbs of the city. Do you remember there's also a place with a nice body of water in the eastern suburbs?"

Mentioning the eastern suburbs raises concerns. It's not that the area is bad, but there's too much trouble there. Apparently, there are many cemeteries there, and many people were initially reluctant to build there because those cemeteries belonged to local villagers. If the graves were dug up now, those villagers would likely cause trouble.

"And I've also heard that relocating graves can be quite expensive."

"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to leave this like this? We only have this one chance now, we definitely can't miss it."

Clearly, Mr. Huang's inner turmoil was now fully apparent. Regardless of the final outcome, he had to make this happen.

"Oh, I don't mean we shouldn't care. We need to consider the costs carefully, don't you think?"

Clearly, Mr. Huang had made up his mind at this point, and no matter what others thought, he was determined to acquire that piece of land.

"You can decide for yourselves. If you want to join, just sign this agreement. I will definitely get that land through my superiors."

It turned out he had made thorough preparations for this matter. No matter what happened, even if his company ultimately had to bear the burden alone, he would find a way to finalize the deal through loans or other means; otherwise, there would truly be no other opportunity. Meanwhile, Lin Chen also encountered a major problem. Despite having set high environmental protection standards at the construction site, the dust problem remained difficult to solve. The use of various industrial materials sometimes brought other troubles. Although they had controlled the problem at its source, various types of dust were unavoidable as long as construction was underway.

Many workers have to wear masks while working every day, since the construction site uses new materials.

"What can we do? If this problem isn't solved, the workers are likely to get sick in the long run, which would be a huge problem."

Lin Chen began to worry. If this matter was not handled properly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing his appearance, Li Xue seemed to understand; the boss was probably going to dive headfirst into the lab again.

"Li Xue, please keep an eye on the construction work lately. If you have any questions, just come to me. The materials we're using now are the most environmentally friendly, but as you've seen, we're always choked by the fumes when we come back from the construction site."

The main problem is that while these new materials have ensured everyone's health to a certain extent, the dust problem on construction sites remains a major challenge.

Moreover, the city is quite windy; sometimes a strong gust of wind can sweep up all the mud and sand on the ground.

If this silt isn't dealt with promptly, it could cause serious problems. The best solution right now is to spray water throughout the entire construction site.

The problem is that doing so would significantly increase costs, since water is a very precious resource.

"You mean you're going back to the lab to do research, right?"

Hearing this, Li Xue felt somewhat helpless.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will always be your strong support. But on this matter, you must listen to me and support me."

"All right!"

Actually, Li Xue doesn't have much to say now.

Lin Chen finally felt a sense of relief.

Now he can work in the lab with peace of mind, and perhaps that's the real reason he came to this place.

Back in the lab, he turned on his computer. By then, Sunday had passed and he had rested for a long time, though he was still updating it.

"Old buddy, you've been so busy lately, you've completely forgotten about me."

I didn't expect them to start complaining at this time of day, on a Sunday. The main issue is that this matter has indeed gone too far, especially since every computer has its own lifespan, and prolonged disuse can cause irreversible damage.

"I'm sorry, I've been really tired lately. Due to some work-related reasons, I could only handle the urgent matters first. But now we have a new project to work on. Do you know what the current environment of our city is like?"

When it comes to the urban environment, they certainly have some say.

"Our urban environment is relatively good, but in some underdeveloped areas, the problem is more serious."

"That's right! Let's put aside what's going on abroad for now and look at the situation back home. Although we can sometimes see blue skies and white clouds now, how long can this good weather last? In winter, some places, especially heavy industrial cities, experience unbearable smog."

"Yes! Those places are really terrible. People have to wear masks to make sure there won't be any problems."

Sunday immediately thought of that matter as well, after all, through various photos and materials gathered online, it knew that this was a very big problem.

"The problem we need to solve now is the issue of air purifiers."

“Master, let me be clear with you, this may not be easy. Because there are already many air purifiers like this all over the world.”

"No!"

Lin Chen smiled.

"The kind you're talking about is actually for home use, you know what I mean? What I'm trying to tell you is that what I'm making this time is a device that can purify the air of an entire city. This thing can't be too big, but it can at least improve the environment. For example, if you put a few of these devices on a construction site, the whole site can become very clean, wouldn't that be great?"

Upon hearing this, Sunday immediately realized what was going on.

"this is a good idea!"

"Then let's not hesitate, let's start the research. Let's do it the old way, I'll be in charge of drawing the design, and you'll be in charge of the calculations."...

One person, one machine, and they plunged back into their demanding work.

However, this time the situation is different from the past. There are no more problems or difficulties than before, because everyone knows what they need to do.

"I think we've at least found a point of convergence now, so let's work together to plan things out."

Lin Chen sat down and began to think seriously. They had previously made some small-scale devices and had indeed achieved some success in this area, but whether they could reach a consensus on making a large-scale air purification device was still hard to say.

Moreover, the existing conflicts may escalate further, and if they are not resolved immediately, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As usual, Lin Chen used the new imaging technology to draw up the design sketches. However, this time the progress was not smooth, and several design sketches failed to meet their expectations.

"I think we should stop talking about indoor air purification solutions and stop considering existing air purifiers. We need to find a more perfect way to solve this problem."

But how to solve it has become a difficult problem.

Lin Chen felt his inspiration dried up once again. Before, he could relax by playing chess and find solutions to problems through it, but now it seemed that no one wanted to play chess with him anymore.

This is a real headache. If it can't be resolved, he'll have to bear all the consequences himself.

"Actually, I think the owner may have fallen into a misconception. You can think about the operating principles of the equipment we made before. Your theories can sometimes be applied in a comprehensive way, but we can't completely copy past experiences now."

Past experience?
