The fortune teller who set up a stall became the first strategist of the Republic of China

After Gao Qingqiu officially became a shareholder of Yang's company, the two began to work closely together to plan the company's future development. With his keen business insight and rich experience, Gao Qingqiu first set his sights on technology research and development and equipment upgrades.

One day, Gao Qingqiu and General Manager Yang were discussing development plans in the company's conference room.

"Mr. Yang, I have carefully studied our company's technical data and market conditions during this period. I believe that our current mining technology still has a lot of room for improvement. If we can introduce advanced foreign mining technology and then optimize it based on our own actual situation, we can not only improve oil extraction efficiency, but also reduce costs and improve product quality. This is crucial for us to further expand the market." Gao Qingqiu said with a focused expression.

Mr. Yang nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Mr. Gao, you have a point. However, introducing new technologies requires a large amount of capital investment, and it also requires professional technical personnel to operate and maintain them. We are currently lacking in this area."

Gao Qingqiu smiled confidently. "Don't worry about the funding. I'll find a way. As for technical talent, I know some experts in this field. I can contact them to see if there's any possibility of cooperation. Alternatively, we can select some of our employees with potential to study advanced technology abroad and use it for us when they return."

After hearing what Gao Qingqiu said, Mr. Yang was delighted: "Mr. Gao, if this is really possible, that would be great! I believe that with your help, our company will be able to achieve greater breakthroughs."

Under Gao Qingqiu's active encouragement, the company quickly took action. First, they imported advanced oil extraction technology from abroad and invited a team of experts to provide technical guidance and training. Second, they sent a group of outstanding employees to study at relevant companies and institutions abroad. Furthermore, the company invested heavily in new extraction equipment, which significantly improved production efficiency and reduced costs.

With the advancement of technology and equipment, the company's oil production and quality have significantly increased. However, market expansion has become increasingly problematic. Although the company has established partnerships with some domestic companies, its international expansion has been slow.

One day, the head of the sales department came to Mr. Yang and Mr. Gao Qingqiu with a worried look on his face. "Mr. Yang, Mr. Gao, we're facing significant difficulties in international market expansion. Competition is fierce overseas, our brand isn't well-known, and customers don't trust our products. Furthermore, we're facing various trade barriers and policy restrictions imposed by local companies, making it very difficult for our products to enter the international market."

Gao Qingqiu pondered for a moment and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative. First, we must increase our brand promotion efforts by participating in various international oil industry exhibitions and seminars to showcase our technological strengths and product advantages, thereby enhancing the company's visibility and reputation. Second, we must actively communicate and negotiate with our foreign partners to find ways to break through trade barriers. For example, we could consider investing in and building factories in the local area to achieve localized production and sales."

Mr. Yang agreed. "Mr. Gao's suggestion is very feasible. We will proceed accordingly. The sales department must quickly develop a detailed international marketing plan, and other departments must fully cooperate."

In the years that followed, all employees worked together, following the established strategy, to actively expand into the international market. Through unremitting efforts, the company successfully entered the international market and signed long-term cooperation agreements with several major foreign companies. The company's business scope continued to expand, covering oil exploration, extraction, processing, and sales. Its scale and employee base grew rapidly, and it became a leading enterprise in the oil industry.

At the company's celebration banquet, President Yang and Gao Qingqiu stood on the stage, looking at the cheering employees below, their hearts filled with emotion.

President Yang raised his glass and said excitedly, "Dear colleagues, today we gather together to celebrate the company's brilliant achievements. Along the way, we have experienced countless difficulties and challenges, but we have never given up. Here, I want to express my special thanks to Mr. Gao. Without his help and support, our company would not be what it is today. Let us raise our glasses and toast to the company's bright future!"

There was warm applause and cheers from the audience, and everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Gao Qingqiu also raised his glass and said with a smile, "This is the result of our joint efforts. In the days ahead, we must continue to maintain the spirit of unity, cooperation, and innovation, and continue to forge ahead, so that our company can move towards an even more glorious future!"
