Wu Lingling spoke with immense confidence and excitement.
Wang Yu was the partner she had specifically chosen.
He possessed advanced technology and excellent products, was personally steady and reserved, and was adept at strategy and maneuvering.
Apart from being a blockhead whose mind was solely filled with oil and gears in that particular aspect, he was almost flawless. Currently, his most pressing need was startup capital.
Moreover, the domestic market was firmly controlled by major monopolistic groups.
For instance, department stores monopolized the retail industry, and agricultural machinery companies dominated the automotive and agricultural machinery sectors.
Under these circumstances, overseas presented an excellent direction for development. Her intention to break into the East Malaya market’s bidding was for this very step.
However, she had not expected Wang Yu to proactively connect with the Bear Country.
The Bear Country was currently facing an unprecedented economic crisis, making Wang Yu a lifesaver for Andre and the factories behind him.
Wang Yu, in turn, could significantly reduce costs through their cheap contract manufacturing, while also addressing the issue of insufficient advanced equipment.
It was a perfect win-win situation.
And...
Before Wu Lingling could finish speaking, Wang Yu interjected.
"The special plan you have in mind, you aren't thinking of going into clothing or processed food, are you?"
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Wu Lingling's face lit up with a smile.
"You guessed it! I want to do it all!
The Bear Country is currently in dire need of food, clothing, and various other light industrial products and daily necessities. I think this is an excellent opportunity!
Also, those small appliances you've been tinkering with can be manufactured through your contract production, allowing us to directly penetrate the Bear Country's market!"
Wu Lingling became more excited as she spoke. Although the Bear Country was in decline, a starving camel was still larger than a horse, let alone a giant bear!
For them, it would surely be enough to feast and make a fortune.
As Wang Yu's largest and most intimate cooperative distributor, Wu Lingling would absolutely not miss this great opportunity!
At that point, let alone achieving her family's small target of one hundred million, even several more would likely be no problem!
"Let's not get into the food business for now. After all, our country has only recently emerged from a phase of material scarcity, and grain is also quite difficult. If we sell at low prices, we won't make a profit, and if we sell at high prices, it will be seen as profiting from national hardship, making us liable for repercussions later," Wang Yu mused before speaking slowly.
"However, clothing and daily necessities are fine. We can acquire small factories and workshops, and then I can specifically design and manufacture machines that improve efficiency and reduce costs for mechanized, centralized, and large-scale production.
For now, we only need them to function. Practicality should be the top priority, and there are no stringent requirements for external aesthetics. This way, we can reduce costs to the absolute minimum, which is most suitable.
Of course, this will also benefit the needs of the common people in our country."
Listening to Wang Yu's words, Wu Lingling's eyes shone brighter.
He had thought of so much more than she had considered? His considerations were even clearer and more detailed than hers!
"I can't believe you've thought it through so comprehensively!" Wu Lingling exclaimed with admiration.
This man, she always thought she understood him completely, yet he always managed to surprise her in unexpected ways!
"Heh, after all, my goal is to stand at the pinnacle of the world, so naturally, I need to integrate all manufacturing resources comprehensively."
Wang Yu smiled at Wu Lingling, his tone filled with confidence.
"Just as I said before, even a multinational giant like Qinglu Group will eventually be trampled under my feet!"
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Wu Lingling couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Are you saying you're going to crush my family's conglomerate right in front of me? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Since I dare to say it to your face, I know you won't be angry. If you were the petty kind, I would have taken your father... cough cough, taken your brother's money and left, abandoning you directly."
Wang Yu's words were not concealed at all, as he believed Wu Lingling was not a shallow person. It was a close call, though; he almost revealed something about her father, Wu Yuanhang, but managed to correct himself just in time.
"Hmph, that's true." Wu Lingling was quite pleased with Wang Yu's compliment and let out a soft hum.
"Consider yourself somewhat discerning. I'm not the kind of narrow-minded little woman who lacks foresight."
Wu Lingling smiled proudly, "My family's business has nothing to do with me anyway. That old traditionalist father left everything to my elder brother.
If my elder brother has the capability to hold onto the family's legacy, he naturally won't fear your challenge.
But if he doesn't have the ability, then rather than it potentially benefiting others later, it's better for us to take it and benefit ourselves, don't you think?"
Listening to Wu Lingling's words, Wang Yu was surprisingly speechless.
Her peculiar line of thinking was logically clear, and he could find no flaws in it!
Wang Yu said nothing further, bid farewell to Wu Lingling, and prepared to return to Jiangyang County.
He had been in the provincial capital for quite some time, and the bet with Qinglu Group had consumed a considerable amount of time.
Whether it was the super bus project with the Bus General Factory, the automated design and production line with Andre, or the large order unexpectedly obtained from Li Mo.
All these required Wang Yu to return quickly and take charge.
Furthermore, with the upcoming Dongzhou Industrial Expo, Wang Yu needed to accelerate the progress of new product development. Even if mass production wasn't possible, having initial prototypes would be good!
Not to mention Wu Lingling's aspiration to penetrate the Bear Country market with clothing and daily necessities production.
Returning to Jiangyang County also meant a pile of matters to handle. The acquisition of the Steel Rolling General Plant had been personally brought up by the Party Secretary, requiring urgent attention.
There were also site expansions, adjustments for the workers of state-owned factories, and other matters. When he tallied it all up, Wang Yu realized he was completely swamped with things!
Just thinking about it gave him a headache!
He had taken too big a step too quickly!
Yet, Wang Yu knew he truly needed to race against time.
This era was the best of times and the worst of times.
Domestically, heroes were emerging everywhere. Old state-owned factories were closing down, while new private enterprises were gradually rising, creating a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.
Meanwhile, powerful foreign entities were eyeing the vast domestic market with predatory intent.
In simple terms, there were "fierce dragons crossing the river" from abroad and "local strong snakes" within.
The new waves were pushing the old ones. If he didn't want to become a "former wave" dying on the beach, Wang Yu had to grow faster and stronger.
"Damn it, with so many things weighing on me, I need to find some capable people to share the load!"
In his room, Wang Yu rubbed his temples in frustration as he pondered under the desk lamp.
He wasn't a god, nor was he made of iron. That was why he had always been cultivating assistants.
Internally, Director Li Ming oversaw production; externally, Feng Daochun was responsible for marketing; Wu Lingling managed the distributor channels; and this time, he encountered technical expert Andre and "master of promotion" Li Mo.
With these individuals, through his intentional or unintentional encounters and connections, a preliminary network had already been formed.
"It would be great to have a chief secretary who could coordinate everything."
Wang Yu pressed his forehead. In his previous life, his favorite book was Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it had a common characteristic among Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan: they were good at utilizing people and had capable subordinates to assist them.
If a leader were to personally handle every single matter, that leader would be an absolute failure!
But where could such talent be found now?
Wang Yu gave a slight wry smile, and suddenly a figure popped into his mind.
Liu Lu, the dispatcher at the Steel Rolling General Plant.
Strange, why did I suddenly think of her?
Wang Yu was briefly stunned, and immediately afterward, he heard a commotion outside the door.
It sounded like someone was crying and shouting, followed by the sounds of a woman and child weeping.
"Liu Lu, where are you running?"
A sharp voice suddenly rang out, piercing through the room door.
