rebirth against the times

When the elevator reached the ground floor of the building, the door opened and Bai Shuo's thoughts were brought back again.

Xiao Lin got out of the elevator first and pressed the button. Bai Shuo pulled Luo Zhiyuan out of the elevator together.

"Lao Luo, do you know why the founding ceremony of the new company will be held today?" Bai Shuo asked calmly.

Luo Zhiyuan thought for a while: "In a few hours, General Motors will also announce that it will emerge from bankruptcy protection and establish a new General Motors Company. Mr. Bai, do you want to compete with the New General Motors?"

Bai Shuo smiled slightly: "We and General Motors are on the same starting line from today on. Although we don't have as deep a foundation as they do, this is not our disadvantage. On the contrary, we don't have so much baggage and worries, and we still have

With the latest concepts and a team of employees who are loyal, reliable and good at enduring hardships, I believe that we and GM, old and new enemies, will continue to compete for a long time in the future."

After a slight pause, Bai Shuo continued: "Competition is also a good thing. Winning or losing sometimes doesn't matter. It's also a good thing to make progress together."

Luo Zhiyuan looked at Bai Shuo with some surprise: "Mr. Bai, I thought you would be very hostile to GM, but I didn't expect..."

"So what if we are hostile? I won't really argue with them. What we should do is to do a good job in our current company and contribute more to the progress of our country's automobile industry."

"Mr. Bai, you are not only broad-minded, but you also always have an overall view of things..."

"Okay, don't put your hat on me. The way you compliment people is so fake. I think you show your true colors best when you are discussing technical issues and criticizing people."

After a few words, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

The ceremony began soon. The square was filled with colorful flags and huge crowds of people. Thousands of employees from automobile companies wore brand-new uniforms and were neatly arranged into ten square formations. In the front row were hundreds of guests from all walks of life and the core backbone of the company.

personnel.

After the host announced the start of the ceremony, a promotional video introducing the company was played on the big screen. The promotional video was produced under Bai Shuo's personal guidance. Bai Shuo incorporated many elements from later generations to make the film look

It is very grand and majestic, but at the same time it starts with details, which well explains the company's positioning and corporate culture, and makes people have infinite longing for the company's future.

After the 5-minute promotional video was played, amid warm applause, the host introduced the guests one by one, and then invited superior leaders, local government representatives, and cooperative unit representatives to deliver speeches. Bai Shuo also served as the host to the establishment of the company.

gave a speech.

When Bai Shuo took the speech and stood on the podium, he, who had always been easy-going and humorous, became extremely serious. At this time, scenes of the past about this new company came to mind again. In the midst of excitement and emotion, Bai Shuo resolutely

I threw away my speech notes and spoke to everyone in the simplest language:

"Everyone who knows me well knows that I never like to speak on such occasions, but there are some things I have to say today. Because the road to the establishment of this company is very tortuous and bumpy. There are too many challenges along the way.

Throbbing and penetrating, accompanied by too much bitterness and pain..."

"Some people say that our company is made up of picking up things that others don't want and patching them together. Here I am very responsible to tell you that we are not picking up people's dregs. We have independent technology and the latest design concepts.

The important thing is that we still have a team of employees who dare to fight hard. I believe that in the near future, we will definitely become a top automobile manufacturing company..."

Bai Shuo's speech was not very exciting. It was out of touch with the original speech and even had some unclear words. He was more expressing his feelings, but because there were too many things that were inconvenient to express clearly, most people couldn't.

I understand the profound meaning. However, everyone who has been with this new company along the way was deeply touched by Bai Shuo's speech, which is enough for Bai Shuo.

In the subsequent ribbon-cutting and unveiling ceremony, accompanied by exciting music, Bai Shuo and four other guest representatives walked onto the stage under the guidance of the hostess. However, everyone was surprised to find that among the five people cutting the ribbon, there was a young man.

A beautiful, blond and blue-eyed Western beauty. Most people don't know where this beauty came from, but she was able to cut the ribbon with four other heavyweights, which shows that her identity is not simple.

Of course, many people in the audience recognized this beauty. She was Hans' fiancée Lisa.

During the ribbon-cutting process, Bai Shuo inadvertently glanced at Lisa beside him. Suddenly he remembered all the past events with Hans.

It was the first time I met Hans, or the first communication. At that time, Bai Shuo was in China and discussed with Liu Shu and others in the United States through online video to deal with the subprime mortgage crisis. That time Hans did not cause any problems.

Bai Shuo paid too much attention, so it can only be said that it was a relatively normal first acquaintance.

The first real meeting was when Liang Ying was injured and Bai Shuo rushed to the United States to take command for the first time. At that time, Bai Shuo's English speaking skills were still very poor. Although everyone tried to speak as slowly as possible.

Bai Shuo, but only Hans actually exchanged Chinese with Bai Shuo. Looking at Hans whose Chinese pronunciation was very poor, Bai Shuo finally no longer felt so embarrassed.

What really made Bai Shuo pay more attention to Hans was Hans' performance during the Lehman Brothers incident. With only a temporary capture of subtle information, he was able to accurately analyze the opponent's next move based on the current situation.

The reason why Bai Shuo and Hans got closer and closer was that Hans loved Chinese culture very much and went to China many times to get along with Bai Shuo’s friends. He ate hot pot, drank Erguotou, wore Hanfu, and visited China several times.

Asked Bai Shuo to allow him to settle and work in China.

Bai Shuo clearly remembered that he promised Hans that when the matter was over, he would take Lisa to China and hold an oriental-style wedding for them. But now...

Thinking of this, Bai Shuo's mood suddenly became extremely fluctuating, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"Bai, I will fight with you again. Life will not end, and the fighting will not stop..."

"The new company building will have an office for me when the time comes."

"Boss, General Motors is yours!"

"Boss, I will fight to the death to keep these things for you..."

Life goes on... the fight goes on... life goes on... the fight goes on...

As the scissors cut through the red silk, Hans's voice and smile and the most profound memory of Bai Shuo suddenly came to his heart. Bai Shuo could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

At this time, the huge curtain hanging on the building also slowly fell. In the eyes of everyone, the golden characters officially showed its brilliance to the world - Hanshi Automobile.

This name was given by Bai Shuo himself.

When we were discussing the company name and brand name, Bai Shuo told everyone that this company was bought by Hans with his own life. Without Hans, the automobile company today would not have been established. In order to commemorate Hans forever

Everything we have done for this company. The company's name and main brand will be named after "Hans Lion", which is a homophony of Hans's name.

Someone once described the country of China as the sleeping lion in the East. From now on, the world must see what this great Han lion looks like after it wakes up. The homophony and English pronunciation of this name are the same as Hans's name, which means "being favored by God"

” means.

At the same time, Hans will serve as the eternal honorary chairman of the automobile company, and will designate the best room in the company as the honorary chairman's office, leaving it to the deceased Hans forever. This also fulfills Bai Shuo's wishes to Hans.

promise.

However, thirty years later, this office welcomed a young man who was most qualified to become its new owner, and he continued Hans' mission and glory here. This is a story later.

When the hustle and bustle of the day was over and the guests had dispersed, the Hanshi Automobile Building returned to calm. However, Hanshi Automobile Company officially began its less-than-quiet journey.

Before Lisa left, she came to the office left for Hans and personally placed a photo of Hans in the frame on the desk.

"I think you will like it here." Lisa said affectionately to Hans's photo.

Bai Shuo, Liang Ying, William and others also accompanied Lisa and had another long conversation in this office.

In addition to remembering Hans and reminiscing about past friendships, Bai Shuo also mentioned the detailed arrangements he had made for the future of Lisa and her baby. However, although Lisa was not planning to return to the United States, she

She was not prepared to accept Bai Shuo's kindness. She planned to wait until the child in her belly was born, then find a place she liked to settle down in China, live by her own efforts, and then raise the child well.

.

Of course, she will keep in touch with Bai Shuo and Liang Ying in the future, and will often bring her children to gather with them. But as a liberal, Lisa hopes that she and her children can have a new, independent space.

begin a new life.

After some consolation, Bai Shuo and Liang Ying finally respected Lisa's decision.

"Have you decided what the child's name will be?" Bai Shuo asked.

"George, um, yes, if it's a boy, he'll be called George. But maybe I'll give him a Chinese name." Lisa stroked her belly and said sweetly.

"What if it's a girl?" Liang Ying asked again.

"If it's a girl, I think she can call her Susan. But I still prefer him to be a boy."

"Why?"

Lisa thought for a while: "I hope he can become a person like his father."

Bai Shuo's eyes turned red again, and after a long time he said again: "Lisa, when the child becomes sensible, please be sure to tell him that his father is a great man."

Lisa's voice suddenly became choked: "Well, I will, he will be proud of his father."
