Chapter 212 Problems in the shipyard
Ma Mingfeng did not expect that the other party would have such an attitude. However, when he saw the other party's words were sincere, he was not polite and said to Liu Kongzhao: "If it was in front of others, my nephew would have no objection. But in private occasions, you must not call him this, otherwise my father would not break my legs?"
The two of them joked for a while, then Liu Kongzhao personally led Ma Mingfeng to Nanjing Shipyard and announced to everyone that they had changed their new owner.
The workers in the shipyard have no objection to the new owner. No matter who they change, they will be rewarded. For example, an official shipyard like this, does it work well and does it badly, does it work less and does it less, and does it work the same as if it does not, as long as you can get the money on time.
Because he had just accepted it and there was Liu Kongzhao next to him, Ma Mingfeng didn't say much, but simply said a few words to praise Liu Kongzhao and reminded everyone to do it well and make some achievements.
Everyone applauded and cheered numbly, but in the crowd there was a man in his thirties just sneering at him, with a hint of disdain on his face.
Ma Mingfeng looked at the man deeply. He remembered the man's appearance and thought that this person was not an ordinary person. So he gave Zhao Liangdong a wink and asked him to inquire about this person secretly.
Then Ma Mingfeng left the shipyard with Liu Kongzhao and specially invited Liu Kongzhao to the best restaurant in Nanjing for a meal to thank him for his affection.
Liu Kongzhao did not refuse such a request. He just understood many things in his heart and had to make it clear, which would expand the boundary between people.
This table was naturally a joy for the guests and hosts. The two of them sang and exchanged each other, which was so happy.
After the banquet ended, Zhao Liangdong also rushed over and not only investigated the identity of the man, but also brought him directly.
Ma Mingfeng couldn't help but look at Zhao Liangdong with admiration. This young man seemed to have strong ability to do things and could learn from one example.
It turned out that this man was named Kan Qingquan. His ancestors were the chief shipbuilding craftsmen during the Zheng He period. This technology was already the ninth generation when it was passed down by him. Kan Qingquan was born a genius of shipbuilding. Not only did he master the ancestral shipbuilding technology to perfection, but he also absorbed some of the advantages of Western shipbuilding. Unfortunately, many of his wonderful ideas are now just in fantasy and have no chance to become reality.
After hearing this, Ma Mingfeng nodded secretly, thinking that if the news was true, Kan Qingquan would be an ideal talent.
The Ma Mingfeng ordered someone to take Kan Qingquan to a separate room, served him a pot of good tea, then asked him to sit down, and asked, "Do you know why I invited you here?"
Kan Qingquan knew that Ma Mingfeng was the owner of this shipyard, but he did not know his other identity. However, even the owner of the shipyard was not something that ordinary craftsmen like him could provoke.
However, Kan Qingquan was not afraid, but said with a sneer on his face: "Of course I know that when you took over the shipyard today, you once said a big talk, asking us to do it well and drive out of the name. I felt disdainful at that time, so I sneered. Isn't it obvious that you brought me here? I want to revenge on my disdain and establish my authority for yourself."
After hearing this, Ma Mingfeng smiled faintly and said, "If I intentionally take revenge, I have to invite you here and treat you with good tea? I tell you that my pot of tea is worth ten taels of silver. Even if I have money, I won't waste it like this, right?"
"Ten, ten taels of silver, this is my annual salary." Kan Qingquan couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this: "The things that rich people make are different. Drinking this pot of tea is my annual salary."
"Then what does it mean when you come here?" Kan Qingquan quickly took a sip of the tea worth ten taels of silver a pot of tea, and suddenly felt the fragrance of her mouth and felt comfortable all over. She secretly praised the tea for being very good, no wonder it was so expensive.
But when Ma Mingfeng smiled, he said, "Of course, it's a kindness, but I asked you, you sneered when I said today. What does this mean? First of all, I declare that I don't want to retaliate, but I sincerely want to ask for advice. Do you think my words are not sincere enough, or do you think I can't realize what I said at all?"
"You really let me tell the truth?" Kan Qingquan looked at Ma Mingfeng, saw him nodding, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you said that, I'm not polite. I would rather leave my head open, and I would rather say everything in my heart."
Then Kan Qingquan took a sip of tea and said with a serious expression: "To be honest, I am very disagreeing with what you said today. It is not that I disagree with the goal you proposed, but that the goal you proposed is not sincere in itself. At the same time, I also think that what you said cannot be achieved under the current system. However, since I have found me here and asked me so sincerely, I think now, you are still sincere, but it is probably not that easy to revitalize the shipyard."
"Oh? Let's talk about the problems facing the shipyard now. Let's discuss them to see if there is a solution." Ma Mingfeng became interested when he heard this and asked Kan Qingquan.
Kan Qingquan took another sip of tea and said slowly: "The problem is complicated. These days, the villain has thought about it day and night and summarized the following four points. First, the person is overly erratic. Although the Admiral is a good person, he basically doesn't care much about the factory affairs. Now the power of the shipyard is in the hands of Niu Dayong, and these people are not doing serious work all day long. They know that corruption and bribery, oppression and goodness. Anyone who flatters them has become officials, while those who are truly skilled and capable are rejected. So now, the entire shipyard wants to do things without the conditions and those who have the conditions are incapable of doing things. So now no one in the whole shipyard has the idea of doing things, and everyone is just going to live by it."
"Well, it's the same as if it's good to do it, it's the same as if it's good to do it, it's the same as if it's good to do it?" Ma Mingfeng looked at Kan Qingquan and murmured.
"Yes, that's what the adults said. Oh, a good shipyard is now in a mess, which is really unbearable." Kan Qingquan looked heartbroken and sighed uncontrollably.
