Chapter 665 Zhou Tian’s Advice

"Give!"

Xiao Yang handed the ID to the other party.

"Hello, Chief. I'm sorry. I'll notify the factory director right away!"

The security soldier took the certificate and took a look at it. His face instantly turned serious. He turned around and whispered a few words to the security soldier next to him, then turned around and ran into the machinery factory.

Zhou Tian naturally saw this scene while sitting in the car, but he did not stop it.

After a while, an old man and three middle-aged men came running hurriedly over.

However, when the old man saw the sedan in front of the gate, his eyes lit up and he quickly came over and said respectfully, "Commander Zhou, why didn't you inform me when you came so that I could have someone pick you up!"

Zhou Tian smiled, got out of the car, looked at the old man and said, "Okay, Mr. Liu, I just came here on a whim, so I came to see how the order from the machinery factory is being completed."

Since the machinery factory took over orders from Southeast Asian countries last year, TY Machinery Factory has expanded several workshops, and the scale of the factory has also increased by one third, and the number of workers has increased from 13,000 to 15,000.

The agricultural machinery production line can be said to be busy day and night. As soon as the agricultural machinery is assembled, it will be directly towed away and transported to the south by train. Both Mr. Liu and the management of the machinery factory are working around the clock.

This is also the reason why Zhou Tian did not plan to notify anyone.

"Thanks to Chief Zhou, three quarters of the order has been completed. In another three months, it will probably be all completed!"

When Mr. Liu heard Zhou Tian mention the order, he immediately smiled.

"Okay, Xiao Yang, you drive the car in, and I'll get in and accompany the old man around the factory!"

When Zhou Tian heard what Grandpa Liu said, he couldn't help feeling happy. He turned to give an instruction to Yang, then took Liu Yuan, Grandpa Liu and the three middle-aged men and walked side by side towards the factory.

As the six of them walked, Zhou Tian looked at the busy scene in the factory and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He still remembered the first time he came to the machinery factory. At that time, although the machinery factory could not be said to be idle, many workers in the factory still walked leisurely. But now, looking at their hurried footsteps, he felt an indescribable relief in his heart.

"Mr. Liu, have you ever thought about what the main business direction of the factory will be in the future, besides completing orders from those Southeast Asian countries?"

After looking around, Zhou Tian stopped and looked at Mr. Liu and asked.

"this..........."

When Mr. Liu heard this, he was stunned and speechless.

Zhou Tian glanced at the old man and knew that he had not thought about this question at all. He couldn't help but smile and continued, "Old man, as an old industrialist, you should know that no matter which industry you are in, if you want to be the best and the biggest, you have to distinguish between the primary and the secondary!"

"Take the machinery factory as an example. The cranes and rails developed by the machinery factory last year all demonstrated the factory's capabilities. But in the final analysis, these are tasks assigned by the higher-ups. If the machinery factory wants to last for a long time, it needs to have its own main research direction!"

"We have now earned our first foreign exchange through agricultural machinery, but you have to know that we are a machinery factory, not an agricultural machinery factory. Sooner or later, the agricultural machinery project will have to be divested. What should we do then?"

"Just waiting for the state to assign tasks is a bad idea. So, today, on the one hand, I am here to inspect the situation of the machinery factory's agricultural machinery orders. On the other hand, I also hope that everyone will work together to determine the key development direction of the machinery factory in the future. This will benefit the future development of the machinery factory in every way!"

Hearing what Zhou Tian said, several people couldn't help but fall silent. Although they were very satisfied with the current development of the machinery factory, after all, as Zhou Tian said, they were a machinery factory, not an agricultural machinery factory.

If they only want the benefits of agricultural machinery, why don't they simply transform the machinery factory into an agricultural machinery factory? To put it bluntly, the reason they entered the machinery factory was to develop industry for the country, not for themselves.

Thinking about this period of time, they were immersed in the booming sales of agricultural machinery and could not extricate themselves. They never thought about how the machinery factory should develop in the future. Now, after hearing what Zhou Tian said, everyone seemed to be enlightened and woke up instantly.

"Commander Zhou, I'm ashamed to say that I have never thought about this. When the machinery factory was first established, I was complacent and felt that I could lead the machinery factory to grow and develop. But now I think I have also benefited from the founding of the country! I admit this! But perhaps because I am old, to be honest, I can't see the future clearly!"

As Mr. Liu spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was an old industrialist, and he had built the machinery factory from scratch. But to be honest, now he really couldn't see how the machinery factory would develop in the future, which made him feel bitter.

"Mr. Liu, the country is developing, and the world is developing too. We cannot stand still. So if we want the machinery factory to develop better, we need to keep up with the international pace. Nowadays, everything in our country is in ruins, including power generation and railways, which require a lot of construction. Similarly, trains also need to keep up with the trend of the times!"

Zhou Tian naturally knew what Mr. Liu meant, but now was not the time for him to give up. Although many factory leaders had been replaced since he took office, this did not include the old man who regarded the factory as his home.

Perhaps Mr. Liu knows that he is no longer able to lead the machinery factory to grow and develop with his abilities, but before he finds a successor that satisfies him, he still needs him to stay in charge of the machinery factory.

"Commander Zhou, do you mean to study trains?"

When Mr. Liu heard Zhou Tian change the subject, he didn't ask any more questions. But Zhou Tian's next words made his eyes light up.

"Yes, old man, you know that the infrastructure construction speed of our country is growing rapidly, and railways and highways are the focus. Highways are easy to deal with, but the trains on the railways cannot keep up with the speed of national development. This requires us to put a lot of effort into research. So I think the focus of the machinery factory next should be on research on trains. In addition, our machinery factory has a history of research on trains. Doesn't this just fit our position?"

Zhou Tian smiled and nodded. In fact, in his opinion, it would be best for the machinery factory to research a series of mining equipment. However, given the current situation of the machinery factory, it is not suitable to enter this industry. The main reason is that the machinery factory is seriously lacking in talent. If it really enters this industry, the manpower and material resources required will be too great.

This is not the old city, there is not so much talent reserve, at least not in the past few years!
