Chapter 73 Knowing When to Advance and When to Retreat
Li Qing made no attempt to hide anything, and with a wry smile, he explained everything to his superior.
The previously relaxed atmosphere has now caused both city leaders to suppress their smiles.
Gong Cheng listened without saying anything, but simply walked around the workshop with his hands behind his back.
Pei Zhenbang was also very troubled, as they had only considered giving Li Qing the best hardware configuration.
Their plan is to make Li Qing's project a political achievement that can boost the city's economy, and they also plan to make Li Qing's modification plant a new economic engine in the future.
The plan was to provide comprehensive support in one go, but the city leaders overlooked Li Qing's capabilities.
The complete car manufacturing plant covers an area of 500 acres and is equipped with multiple independent production workshops, covering everything from forging and welding to final assembly.
With such a scale, not to mention in Gaoyan, there aren't many that can compare to it, even in the surrounding area.
Such a large factory area, the corresponding rental fees, daily water and electricity maintenance, and factory security expenses are all beyond what Li Qing can afford at present.
Li Qing's project has potential, and he has stable orders and the technology he has mastered, but he lacks substantial financial reserves.
To put it bluntly, everything in the factory area is really damn good, but giving it to Li Qing at this stage is not a lifeline.
Instead, it added a lot of unnecessary burdens to him. If he was not careful, the operation of the factory alone could crush Li Qing.
Pei Zhenbang pondered for a moment, then came to Gong Cheng's side. The two chatted briefly before calling Li Qing back to him.
"You're really honest, kid. If it were anyone else, they would have agreed to rent the whole factory when they saw such a good supporting facility. But you're something else."
Pei Zhenbang shook his head as he spoke to Li Qing, but there was no other expression on his face except for a faint smile.
What could Li Qing say in response to what the other party had said?
He then scratched his head vigorously, his face still showing a helpless expression, and after a moment replied frankly.
"Mayor Pei, I'm the kind of person who says what I think. There's no need for me to hide anything from you two leaders. If I do, I'll be the one who suffers in the end."
Let's be frank. My own financial situation isn't very strong. The motorcycle shop and billiard hall businesses are stable; you can't make a fortune, but you won't starve either.
So I don't have much capital on hand, and these two stores are barely enough to keep me afloat.
I now hold the official authorization for the Great Wall, which seems prestigious, but in reality it's just an empty shell.
I have the technology, and I won't lack orders in the future, but I really can't afford such a huge factory area at this stage.
Actually, to be honest, my factory can only accommodate a limited number of workers initially, probably around 30, that's all.
As Li Qing finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and pointed around.
"In this huge factory area, I can only get orders for a maximum of fifty units a month. I estimate that at the beginning, it was probably just a few units at a time."
If that's the case, this huge factory area will remain vacant for who knows how long, which is a complete waste of resources.
If we actually rent it out, there's a high chance we'll run into losses, ending up not making any money but losing money on rent and other expenses.
After so many years in the business, Li Qing had long since figured out the underlying logic of making money: wear underwear that fits your size.
Underwear that's too big will fall down and expose your buttocks, and underwear that's too small won't hold your buttocks in either. Only underwear that fits well is the best choice.
If he impulsively takes over the entire factory area now, it might seem impressive, but it would be a brainless act.
He got to where he is today not because of recklessness or impulsiveness, but because he acted within his capabilities and assessed the situation carefully.
After listening to what he said, Gong Cheng slowly nodded.
The doubt on his face vanished, replaced by a hint of appreciation for Li Qing.
"Indeed, to be able to recognize oneself so clearly is truly remarkable; one is no ordinary soldier."
"That's great. I'm starting to admire you more and more. And I'm even planning to hand over all the factory areas to you."
As the executive vice mayor in charge of the economy, Gong Cheng has seen too many entrepreneurs, many of whom have high-quality projects and innovative technologies and start by going big.
It may seem promising in the early stages, but in the end, it can only lead to a lack of funds and a failed project.
After listening to Gong Cheng's explanation, Li Qing initially thought that things had taken a turn for the better and that he wouldn't have to rent the entire factory area. However, what Gong Cheng said at the end left him somewhat confused.
Is this all being rented to me, or what? Why can't these leaders just say it clearly?
They're all like this, and after I tell you, I'll make you guess what they are. They're all black sesame dumplings.
Li Qing thought to himself, but on his face he still put on a serious expression and stared straight at Gong Cheng.
Faced with Li Qing's gaze, Gong Cheng stopped beating around the bush and directly told him the result of his discussion with Pei Zhenbang.
"Li Qing, I know you are a very shrewd person. The reason I brought you to the Fengchi assembly plant this time is because the city did not initially investigate the strengths of both sides."
Let's not talk about anything else. I just want to ask you one question: are you satisfied with this factory area?
"Does everything here meet your production needs?"
Hearing Gong Cheng's question, Li Qing answered without hesitation.
"Of course! I couldn't be more satisfied with the entire factory area."
All the equipment here is useful to me, and some of it is exactly what I need right now!
After Li Qing finished speaking, Gong Cheng and Pei Zhenbang, who had been silent until now, clapped their hands at the same time.
"Alright, since you put it that way, then this entire factory area is now in your hands."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing immediately became anxious. Why was he being pressured at the very end? Could it be that the city was trying to get rid of a burden?
Thinking of this, he was already anxious and was about to refuse, but before he could say it, Pei Zhenbang next to him also spoke up.
"Li Qing, don't be hasty. Let Mayor Gong finish speaking. If you have any objections afterward, then you can raise them!"
After Pei Zhenbang finished speaking, he took a step back and hid behind Gong Cheng.
After Pei Zhenbang finished speaking, Gong Cheng continued.
There's a reason why we put you in charge of the entire factory area.
Previously, Fengchi had already used this land to exchange for another plot in the city's new urban area, where Fengchi would develop residential and other commercial buildings.
Therefore, strictly speaking, this property already belongs to the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
Since the ownership is already in the city, and it's not all going to be rented to you, no one else has the capacity to rent such a large area.
Anyway, those places are just sitting empty, so I might as well hand them over to you.
As for the rent, I've decided to reduce it for you. As long as you can make good use of the factory area, that will be the greatest return to the city.
What is the primary mission of our city government? It is to serve the people wholeheartedly.
If you can help some industrial workers live better lives, then it proves that the city's work wasn't in vain.
Upon hearing Gong Cheng's words, Li Qing's mind went completely blank; it was incredibly moving.
At the same time, they also knew that this time they had truly been struck by a windfall.
