Xu's Father, I'm Investing Thirty Million!

Being able to rely on one's parents, whether as a child or as a parent, is a cause for great joy.

A child depending on their parents, having a powerful umbrella to shelter them, is a form of good fortune.

"Compared to my memories before transmigration, when I had to study desperately every day just to survive and stay away from my dad, this is like night and day."

Thinking back to his past memories, even though a long time had passed, he still felt a lingering fear.

Xu Yifan was very satisfied with the family he had been reborn into.

According to the images in his memory, this family was harmonious. His father and mother rarely spanked him, unless he was being particularly naughty. It was exactly the parent-child relationship he had always dreamed of.

However, since transmigrating into this body, Xu Yifan hadn't yet met his father and mother.

It wasn't that he didn't want to see them, but he was afraid of meeting the two elders, afraid that his identity as a transmigrator would be discovered by his family.

Although he had studied abroad for a long time, and his parents were busy managing their business, he was mostly looked after by a nanny.

If he really thought about it, after junior high school, he had hardly spent any significant time living with them. It was perfectly normal for there to be some changes compared to when he was little.

But Xu Yifan was still afraid.

"It's like a dreamlike illusion, I'm afraid it will shatter into pieces at the slightest touch..."

"I wonder if the soul of the original owner of this body has dissipated, or if it swapped with my body?"

"I transmigrated after getting tired from work and falling asleep. He probably dozed off after getting tired from looking at documents. Maybe when he wakes up, he'll be in my rented apartment?"

"Heh heh, if that's the case, it's kind of interesting to think about. Transmigrating from being a super rich second generation from a harmonious family to a car engineer.

It's not too bad to transmigrate into my body at this time.

I won't have to personally experience the taste of belts, boiling water, iron rods, fruit knives, and other weapons.

I've already left that home, left that living environment, and am living alone.

It's just me alone, but I still have over a hundred thousand in savings."

With a slight sigh, Xu Yifan finally stopped hesitating.

He took out his Nokia N97 and dialed the number he had carefully saved.

"Dad!"

Ring, ring, ring----

The phone rang twice before being quickly answered.

In a conference room, a middle-aged man took the phone handed to him by his secretary, glanced at it, and then immediately answered.

His voice shifted from the seriousness of the meeting to the affectionate tone of a father: "Yifan, is something wrong? I'm in a meeting."

In the phone, Xu Yifan's voice was a little flustered: "Dad, uh, I want to ask you for some investment!"

The middle-aged man chuckled: "What, is the factory out of funds again?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man at the head of the conference table covered the microphone of his phone, his expression shifting to a serious one as he addressed the managers below.

"Let's pause the meeting for a moment. Everyone, look at the materials first."

After speaking, he turned to walk out the door, putting on a chameleon-like act, and listened intently to his son's voice on the phone.

Facing the guidance from his family that he had craved countless times, Xu Yifan explained the problems he was currently facing over the phone.

"It's been over three months since I took over Jiuzhou Automobile. Although the factory is on the right track and profitable, we can now produce over twenty Jiuzhou Mini models per day, and they all sell out.

After deducting all taxes, materials, employee salaries, and other expenses, the profit per unit is around two thousand yuan.

Moreover, the Jiuzhou Mini model produced by our factory currently occupies a blank blue ocean in the market, with demand exceeding supply. We sell every car we produce, and orders are already backed up for half a month.

Insufficient production capacity is the main problem now. I've ordered the factory to immediately start recruiting more employees. It should show some results in about half a month, and we expect to double production.

However, with this huge blank market, even if we double our company's production capacity and train skilled workers, we'll only have a capacity of sixty to seventy cars per day at most.

Compared to my estimated national market of around twenty million vehicles in circulation, it's still just a drop in the bucket.

The only solution I can think of is to find other automobile factories to produce our company's products through contract manufacturing.

Regarding contract manufacturing, I also have a concern: I'm afraid other factories will notice this blank market.

Only by widening the gap between our factory and others in terms of technology can we maintain our core competitiveness when others notice this market.

Therefore, I need a large sum of R&D funds recently..."

After listening carefully to his son's problem, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and then said.

"Hmm, how about this? As we agreed before, the total investment is around ninety million.

We spent fifty million to purchase Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, and about five million to resolve the factory's previous outstanding issues, leaving over one million in the factory's accounts.

We then put in another five million during the previous Jiuzhou Automobile Factory recruitment and production recovery.

This time, I'll give you the remaining thirty million directly."

"Thank you, Dad!" Xu Yifan's voice was filled with surprise over the phone.

With this large sum of investment, there would be many more avenues for him to explore moving forward.

Perhaps I can develop the new Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Technology as soon as possible!

Hearing his son's happy voice, the middle-aged man smiled, "You're still so polite with your dad. I'll have to teach you a lesson when you come back for Lunar New Year. All my money will be yours in the future!"

After a little joke, the middle-aged man continued seriously.

"Actually, I've been keeping an eye on the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, and you're doing a great job, much better than I originally envisioned.

My original plan was to give you three to five years, gradually invest money, and let you familiarize yourself with factory management step by step, aiming to gain some experience through losses.

Well, Lunar New Year is coming soon. Bring me back a car then.

During Lunar New Year, I'll drive a car produced by the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory and take you to visit several uncles and elder brothers in the provincial capital."

The conversation with his father made Xu Yifan relax a lot, without the nervousness he felt during the phone call.

"Mhm, mhm, actually, the cars we're making now are still a bit embarrassing. They're still a long way from the new energy vehicles I envisioned.

After a few more years...

Forget it, let's just take over the low-speed electric vehicle market first!"

The middle-aged man praised him with satisfaction, "Very good, you're indeed my son!"

"Also, the batch of leather you gave me, Dad, is excellent. According to the feedback from our sales team, many customers are very satisfied with the seats in our Jiuzhou Mini."

"Of course. High-end artificial leather isn't much worse than real leather. I gave it to you at cost price..."

The two chatted a bit more.

After about ten minutes, the call ended. Handing his phone back to his waiting secretary, the middle-aged man's expression turned serious as he spoke to her.

"Immediately contact my private client manager at ICBC. I need to transfer thirty million yuan from my private bank account. I'll handle it after the meeting."

"Yes, boss." The secretary received the order and went to contact the bank's dedicated client manager.

The middle-aged man, meanwhile, returned to the conference room to continue the unfinished meeting.

Sitting back in front of dozens of regional managers from across the country, the middle-aged man said gravely, "The meeting continues. Regarding this year's sales of leather products..."
