Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 94 Ice Village
Xu Zhiquan picked up the teapot and took a big sip, then he straightened his face and said:

“The machinery factory has already started liquidation. I contacted Mr. Huang yesterday and asked about the situation.

Looking at it now, taking over this machinery factory is a big challenge, but the opportunities are also great!

Currently, only my father and I know about this matter, so we should plan it underwater first to prevent others from coming in and disrupting the situation..."

Xu Chen smiled and said:

"Dad, you look so determined to win!"

Xu Zhiquan laughed heartily twice:

"During this period of time, I have expanded my network of contacts. If I want to get a job at a machinery factory, I still need some connections to get in.

Dad already has one or two key contacts who can help him get the word out.

The main pressure now is capital. Part of the money can be obtained from the bank, but a large proportion of the principal is still required.

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse in a machinery factory. I also asked about the restructuring of the machinery factory in Laicheng next door.

I roughly estimate that several million in cash will still be needed, maybe tens of millions...

Fortunately, there is still time, and it won’t take just one or two days.

This kind of state-owned enterprise restructuring and bankruptcy will cause them to struggle internally for a while, and it will also give my father more time to raise funds.

Next month, I will receive advance payments for three projects, and two payments for accessories from last year will be refunded.

There are also some reserve funds from previous years.

These are the basics.

Nowadays, land, seedlings, and factory buildings can also be used as collateral to exchange for some cash.

If it's still not enough, Dad still has connections who can lend him more money, but that might involve partnership issues..."

Xu Chen: "It's better not to form a partnership with others. There will be too many troubles in the future."

Xu Zhiquan took a puff of his cigarette and laughed:

"Of course I know, and I am afraid of partnering with others now.

No matter what business it is, it is best to have the final say yourself.

Assuming the prospects are bright, it is better to take out a loan from a bank than to partner with others.

Before, I thought that having a partner would allow me to discuss things with him when I encountered problems.

Now I find that no matter what happens, it is enough to discuss it with my son! "

Xu Chen imitated his father and laughed twice.

It seems that during this period of time, my father Xu Zhiquan has been quietly planning a lot regarding taking over the machinery factory.

He has already been eager to try and determined to win.

Xu Zhiquan rubbed his son's head and said:
"Regarding electric cars, my dad has also been looking for ways to get one recently.

It is indeed just as my son analyzed to me, now is a perfect time to enter the electric vehicle industry.

Battery and motor technology have made relatively good breakthroughs in China in the past two years. In addition, the introduction of motorcycle bans in various places now encourages the development of electric vehicle companies.

There are companies doing this in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in China, and the main one in Tianjin in the north.

I'm planning to take a train to Jiangsu Province next month. It just so happens that an old classmate from middle school has become a small leader in the town over there.

Can I ask him to use some connections to get here, so I can sneak into their factory and learn from them and find out the way.”

Xu Zhiquan took a puff of his cigarette:
“I also asked the engineers from the previous machinery factory, and they were indeed planning to make electric tricycles.

However, internal decision-making tended to be conservative, and there were factional struggles and intrigues, which ultimately led to the plan being stillborn.

He said that making electric cars would be very simple if a production line could be directly introduced.

As for batteries and motors, they can be purchased directly. The technology is mature now and the implementation threshold is not high..."

Xu Chen sat aside and listened quietly.

My father Xu Zhiquan's execution ability is really terrifying...

The father and son chatted in the yard for a while, and Xu Zhiquan was almost drunk.

But after all, I drank a little too much and my walking was a little unsteady.

Li Rui came out from the inner room, started the car, and together with Xu Chen helped Xu Zhiquan into the car.

……

……

The next morning, I got up around noon.

Hearing the sound of "clattering" downstairs, he looked out the window and found that it was Li Rui washing the car. As usual, there was a breakfast on the table outside the house. Xu Chen ate a few bites and went downstairs.

My father was sitting in the living room, reading a newspaper and drinking hot tea.

"Dad, are you sober?"

Xu Zhiquan laughed: "That's just a little bit!"

Xu Chen walked out the door, picked up a cotton mop from the bucket, and started washing the car with Li Rui.

Li Rui, with a cigarette in his mouth, quickly called out "Good morning, Brother Chen".

During this period, Xu Zhiquan often went to Beishan, which was full of muddy roads. The car became dirty after driving for two days.

In a short while, this second-hand black Accord was cleaned inside and out to a shiny finish.

"Brother Chen, please go into the room and take a rest. I will wipe it dry." Li Rui said.

"It's okay. It's rare for me to move around."

Li Rui's cell phone rang. He took it out and took a look. He put down the big towel in his hand and answered the call...

Xu Chen was wiping the car when he saw Li Rui hanging up the phone and he just stood there in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.

Li Rui turned around, looking a little unhappy:
"Grandma passed away..."

Xu Chen was stunned.

"It's...Brother Bing's grandmother."

"..."

Li Rui took a deep puff of cigarette and exhaled a large puff of white:

"The call was from Fang Tao.

He and Brother Bing are from the same village. He said that grandma passed away unexpectedly yesterday, but he doesn’t know the details yet.

Brother Bing just rushed back to the village. He should be taking care of the funeral. Fang Tao has already gone to help."

Xu Chen stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.

His hands were still wet, but he took out his cell phone without wiping them.

Just when he was about to call Xie Bingran, he stopped there.

Li Rui threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said:

"Brother Chen, I have to go take a look.

Fang Tao said that there was no one at Brother Bing's home except her.

Grandma's funeral still needs help."

Fang Tao, the boy with the buzz cut, speaks in a muffled voice.

When I rescued Xie Bingran in the department store before, it was thanks to Fang Tao that I was able to find Brother Bing's whereabouts.

When Xie Bingran and Li Rui were expelled, Fang Tao was also given a serious warning.

Xu Chen had recovered from his shock. He nodded and said:

"I'll come with you!"

Xu Zhiquan heard the noise outside and walked out with a newspaper in his hand.

"what happened?"

Xu Chen and Li Rui turned around, both with ugly expressions.

Xu Zhiquan frowned in confusion. He rarely saw his son look like this:

"What happened?"

Xu Chen: "Dad, Li Rui and I have to go out for a while, please lend us the car."

Xu Zhiquan: "What's the matter with using the car casually?"

Xu Chen: "One of my classmate's grandmother passed away, and she is the only one left at home. Let's go and help her."

Xu Zhiquan: "I have to help with this kind of thing. I'll give you some money..."

Having said that he went back into the house.

After a while, Xu Zhiquan came out with a briefcase and said:
"Let me come with you. You two kids can't handle the funeral!"
