Chapter 176 Seed Racer

80年代，国庆节的法定假期只有3天，从10月1日到10月3日。

Therefore, many workers from this province have returned home, but those from other provinces basically remain in the factories.

BYD's Phase I factory is not very large, but the necessary facilities are quite complete.

Workers staying in the factory during the holidays are not restricted in their movements as long as they do not enter the workshop or confidential areas.

Of course, male workers are not allowed to enter the female workers' dormitory, and vice versa.

So, when Boss Fang and a group of managers came to the cafeteria, many people were already eating inside.

The managers were also somewhat helpless. After all, they usually went to the 6th floor and rarely ate on the lower floors.

But now, following the boss to the first floor to experience the local customs, I have to pretend to be very down-to-earth.

Fang Hexuan asked the accompanying management to make their own arrangements, while he, his bodyguard and Xiao Luo received their tableware and lined up obediently to get their meals.

What can BYD's leaders do? If the big boss is doing this, how can we not follow suit?
Therefore, those ordinary workers who were busy eating just now started to make comments when they saw a row of people in suits and ties queuing up obediently.

"Hey, isn't that the factory director? I remember him. He seemed to be a Japanese. Why is he eating on the first floor?"

"Hey, maybe some leader is here to inspect again, so they just pretend to be nice."

"So who do you think is the leader?"

".It seems not. Aren't the leaders all wearing Zhongshan suits? I didn't see any!"

"In my opinion, the tallest, youngest, and most handsome one should be the leader?"

"Are you blind? Have you ever seen a leader at the age of 20 wearing a suit?"

"I don't think he's even 20 years old, younger than my kid!"

"You are blind. You are really ignorant. The real boss of our factory is a Hong Konger. He is only 21 years old. CCTV and many newspapers have reported on him. Don't you see it?"

"Why are you looking at those things? They have nothing to do with us. Is he really our boss? Oh my goodness!"

"How rich must his old man be to allow him to act like this?"

"It's absolutely true that you are ignorant. He started from scratch and is now the richest man in Hong Kong. Do you think everyone is like you?"

"Are you bragging?"

······
Discussions like this take place at many tables where groups of three or five people gather together for dinner.

Many of BYD's workers were recruited later, so it was normal that they did not know Fang Hexuan, but there were also many who knew that he was the real boss.

Finally it was Fang Hexuan's turn to order his meal. He looked at the 20 dishes in total, 12 of which were meat dishes and 8 were vegetarian dishes. Meat soup was also considered a meat dish, but vegetarian soups such as tomato and egg drop soup were not counted as vegetarian dishes and their supply was not restricted.

He looked at the 12 meat dishes and found basically no problem.

Unlike some factories in later generations, many so-called meat dishes are basically made with frozen meat, which tastes and is much worse than fresh ingredients in terms of nutrition.

I ordered five of them at random, carried the dishes myself and found an empty table.

The bodyguards knew the rules and sat at other tables around the boss.

Several senior executives including Uchiyama Hisahiko came to Fang Hexuan's table to please him.

I just saw the boss nodding while eating, and I finally felt relieved.

"The ingredients and taste are good, I have to keep it up. I don't want others to think that I, the richest man in Hong Kong, would mistreat my employees."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, I will personally supervise your diet."

"Jiuyan-kun is thoughtful, but I have a suggestion."

"Mr. Fang, please speak."

"We provide an extra serving of fruit for lunch and dinner to ensure that employees have enough vitamin intake."

"This"

"Why hesitate? It's just the money for the fruit. How much more will it cost in a year?"

"But Mr. Fang, BYD has not sold a single car yet. We are still a long way from making a real profit. We can completely cut unnecessary expenses."

"Jiuyan-kun, I'm glad you can think about the company, but as the president of BYD, you can't be too narrow-minded. We seem to have spent unnecessary money, but it has strengthened the physical fitness of the workers, which can also indirectly improve production efficiency. At the same time, it also enhances the workers' sense of belonging to BYD. To put it in a utilitarian way, winning people's hearts is very important to BYD and myself."

". Mr. Fang has a brilliant idea. I'm sorry that I am short-sighted." "No, it's not your fault. You came from Toyota, and the concept of lean production has been deeply rooted in your bones. But this is also the reason why I asked you to take the helm of BYD."

"Thank you Mr. Fang for your trust."

When Fang Hexuan ordered the food just now, he asked the chef to add less, and he ate quickly, so he had already cleared his plate before many workers had finished eating.

For no other reason, he just wanted to go to the upper floors to see if the quality of the food was the same as on the first floor.

When inspecting other workshops in the afternoon, Xiao Luo found an opportunity to get close to Fang Hexuan. His hesitant look made Fang Hexuan considerately ask:
"Xiao Luo, do you have something to tell me?"

"Well, Mr. Fang, that..."

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, fart now!"

“I want to buy an EVO!”

Ronaldinho finally plucked up the courage to express his wish.

"Haha, Xiao Luo, you have a good vision, but I have to advise you that the current EVO is not finalized and mature yet. It may need to be modified later. It would be safer for you to wait until next year to buy the mass-produced model."

"Mr. Fang, I can't wait. Whether it is a mature mass-produced model or not is not very important to me. I know how to modify cars myself, and repairing them is even easier."

"Okay, even if what you said is correct, but, as far as I know, Xiao Luo, you are not yet 18 years old, right?"

"Ok?"

"I don't mean any other things. I'm just worried that you can't come up with enough Hong Kong dollars to buy a pre-production EVO."

"Mr. Fang, how much does that EVO cost?"

"I haven't seen the specific figures, but I have read the cost analysis report. Since it is a trial production car, many processes and molds will be adjusted later. In other words, its cost is much higher than that of a mass-produced car."

"."

"Xiao Luo, if you really want one, there are other ways."

"any solution?"

"Working for BYD!"

"Mr. Fang, you've confused me. Don't I have BYD employees now?"

"Haha, okay, I mean you should change your position."

".But I only know how to do maintenance work."

"No, you know a lot more than you think!"

"."

"Have you forgotten what you did this morning?"

"Test drive the EVO, Mr. Fang, are you asking me to be the test driver?"

“Not really, but it’s almost the same!”

"Even if I were asked to be a test driver, I would be willing!"

"Haha, most people can be a test driver, but the job I want you to do is really not something that most people can do!"

"Fang Sheng, stop playing tricks on me and just tell me what you are doing!"

"Haha, you should have heard a piece of news internally that BYD will participate in WRC in the future?"

".You want me to be a racing driver?"

Hearing his boss's words, Xiao Luo's breathing began to quicken.

"Well, I hope BYD can have its own Chinese racers instead of spending a lot of money to invite them from other countries."

"Yeah, yeah! Chinese people can also play racing, Fang Sheng, you don't know, I really like racing in private!"

"Xiao Luo, it's a waste of your talent to work as a maintenance worker. You should be a professional racing driver for BYD in the future. I hope to see your wonderful performance in the WRC in two years!"

"Well, thank you Mr. Fang, thank you Mr. Fang for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely not let you down!"

"Haha, then I'll wait and see!"
