With a prepayment of 200 million plus the previous 8.8 million yuan, Xia Lei sold the ownership of the smart machine tool he brought back from Germany. From then on, he no longer built such smart machine tools, nor would he transfer drawings and related technologies to anyone. However, he not only stole Joseph's secrets in Germany, but during his time in Germany, he "sees" a lot of things and learns a lot of things that can't be bought with money.

Although Shenzhou Industrial Group bought out the ownership of Joseph's smart machine tool, it could not buy Xia Lei's knowledge and technology. After a year and a half, he could have made the most advanced machine tool suitable for Leima Manufacturing Company. Therefore, Mu Jianfeng proposed to buy it, and he agreed to sell it without thinking.

The transaction between the two parties was completed on the same day. Shenzhou Industrial Group paid Xia Lei 200 million in cash, and there was no need to pay tax. In addition, Shenzhou Industrial Group will provide 20 different types of mechanical processing equipment for Leima Manufacturing Company, lathes, drilling machines, milling machines, etc., which are all given according to the most advanced standards in China. In addition, Shenzhou Industrial Group will build a larger comprehensive workshop for Leima Manufacturing Company. The total cost is about five million. It seems that there is not much money, but the equipment sent by Shenzhou Industrial Group will be installed and debugged by the people of Shenzhou Industrial Group, which is what the tightly-manned Leima Manufacturing Company is happy to see.

In the afternoon of the same day, Shenzhou Industrial Group transported the intelligent machine tool away by a large truck. When it was transferred from the studio, Xia Lei's exclusive studio was also removed because he could not go out. When it was transported away, the machine was covered with thick tarpaulin, which looked very mysterious.

Mu Jianfeng and his group took the heavy truck away, and even declined the dinner invited by Xia Lei.

After seeing off Mu Jianfeng and his group, Xia Lei also announced something. All employees of the Leima Manufacturing Company gave 10,000 bonuses, Zhou Xiaohong, Yang Bencai, Liu Xuebing and other workshop directors gave 30,000 bonuses. The employees of the R&D department gave 10,000 bonuses, Han Bo and Yin Hao gave 30,000 bonuses. Guan Lingshan from the Finance Department also gave 30,000 bonuses, and employees of the Sales Department also had the same bonuses.

Once the bonus was given, more than one million was gone. During this period, the profit of the Lima Manufacturing Company was only about two million, which was equivalent to returning most of the profits to the employees. In addition, the five insurances and one fund that needed to be paid to the employees, Lima Manufacturing Company was equivalent to not making any profit.

As soon as Xia Lei announced to the employee, Liang Siyao pulled him aside, leaned against his ear, and whispered: "Why did you give employees such a high bonus? Now it is not the year-end bonus that is given at the end of the year. You have sent out all the money you earned during this period. It will be the end of the year soon. The year-end bonus must be paid. At that time, it can't be less than now, right? The company hasn't made so much money!"

Liang Siyao already has the attribute of a housewife, and this attribute is in its growth stage.

Xia Lei smiled, "The company didn't make much money. I made it here. What's the point of giving the employees some money?"

Liang Siyao gave him a blank look, "Then you can't do this."

Xia Lei whispered: "I actually have my ideas. The company's scale will expand immediately, and its manufacturing level and productivity will increase. We need more talents. I will give them such a bonus and our treatment is so good, and talents will come to us. Don't you always say that talents in the 21st century are the most important? As long as we accumulate more outstanding talents, our company will not worry about not being able to do big."

"But no one knows except ourselves. Do you want to go to the TV station to do an advertisement and tell others how much bonus you gave today?" Liang Siyao couldn't let it go. It was more than one million. Moreover, it was the end of the year soon, and it would take a lot of money to pay the year-end bonus! She felt sorry!

"I have a better way than advertising," Xia Lei said.

"What's the solution?" Liang Siyao looked at Xia Lei with curious eyes.

"Look at it." Xia Lei walked back to the front of the workers gathered in the open space and said loudly: "The company will expand its scale. You are all fresh graduates who graduated from universities and technical schools. Go back and contact your classmates. As long as they are willing to come, I will open the door to collect it."

"Mr. Xia, several of my buddies have gone to work in other companies. If they want to come, can the insurance they bought there be taken?" asked an employee who graduated from a technical school.

Xia Lei said: "If they come to our company to pick them up and buy them according to the same standards as you. Now the social security account is unified nationwide, and the procedures are very simple."

"Hehe, then I will contact them when I go back. Their skills are good, but I can't make much money in other companies, so I'm much less than me." The employee who graduated from the technical school looked very proud.

Another technician from a graduate of the University of Science and Technology spoke out: "Mr. Xia, several of my classmates have not found jobs yet. They have very high requirements. I wonder if they can accept them?"

Xia Lei said: "Tell them that young people should not be too high or too low. If they have real materials, I will not treat them badly, but they just came and they will only be treated the same as everyone else."

"Well! They will definitely agree." The employee who graduated from the School of Science and Technology said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to follow such a good boss as Mr. Xia? When I say it, they will definitely come!"

Xia Lei talked and laughed with the employees, and a recruitment problem was solved.

Liang Siyao was just blaming Xia Lei for not spending money, but at this time she smiled and secretly admired Xia Lei's strategy. These young employees all have classmates, and they are all knowledgeable and skilled talents. They contact their former classmates. Those classmates know how good they are in the Leima Manufacturing Company. Will those classmates not come?

"Well, then that's it." Xia Lei made the conclusion, "Go and contact your classmates. I'll express my opinion here. As long as you recommend it, sign a contract with our company and recommend one, the recommender will receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan."

After a rush, employees from the technical school and the staff from the Institute of Technology all took out their cell phones in a hurry and called to contact their former classmates, for fear that they would be contacted by others if they were late.

Liang Siyao quietly punched Xia Lei, "You, you really underestimated you. Do you have so many good ideas in your mind?"

Xia Lei smiled and said, "Let's go, I have never made so much money in my life. Let's find a better place and have a good meal. How about celebrating?"

"Okay." Liang Siyao agreed without even thinking.

Xia Lei said again: "Well, let's call the master."

Liang Siyao's little mouth suddenly rose up. She didn't say anything, but she felt a little unhappy and said secretly: "What are you taking my dad to do with this wood? Don't he understand what the two-person world is?"

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from the direction of the factory gate, "Xia Lei."

Xia Lei turned around and saw Hu Hou. He came alone, and his car was parked by the factory gate.

Xia Lei greeted him and said with a smile: "Mayor Hu, welcome, come to my office and sit down."

"I won't go to your office anymore. I'll have something to ask you for trouble." Hu Hou said.

Xia Lei said: "What's wrong with Mayor Hu looking for me?"

Mayor Hu said, "You are fine now, right?"

Xia Lei said: "Just finished the meeting for the employees, it's okay now."

Hu Hou smiled, "It seems that I'm a coincidence. So, let's go with me, let's talk about it on the way."

"Mayor Hu, what's going on?" Xia Lei said tentatively.

"Of course it's a good thing, is it a bad thing? Let's go." Hu Hou pulled Xia Lei and left.

Xia Lei looked back at Liang Siyao with helpless look on his face.

"Go and go." Liang Siyao looked very understanding.

Xia Lei got on the Buick business car driven by Hu Hou, and Hu Hou drove towards the direction of the municipal government.

He said he told Xia Lei on the road, but Hu Hou kept his mouth shut and said nothing. In the end, Xia Lei couldn't hold back his anger and said tentatively: "Mayor Hu, didn't you tell me on the road? Tell me what's going on, you're almost anxious to death."

Hu Hou then spoke: "It's true. The current economic environment is not good, the real economy is in recession, especially the manufacturing industry, and the situation is worrying. The Haizhu Municipal Government is preparing to hold a party to "revitalize the real economy". Those who come to the party are the bosses of various companies in Haizhu City. You are one of the important guests we request."

Xia Lei looked at Hu Hou's face and suddenly smiled, "Maybe Mayor Hu, your secretary forgot to write my name on the invitation list? You came to pick me up when you found out."

For such an evening party, the person invited was the boss of various companies. The invitation letter was probably sent out yesterday or even earlier, but Hu Hou rushed to pick him up immediately just as the evening party was about to begin. What is this situation not forgotten?

Hu Hou shook his head with a wry smile, "You, you can see this kind of thing at a glance. You are really not simple. You are right. I didn't see your name when I checked the conference table cards for the last time. I found out that I missed you after checking the list. I clearly told my secretary, but he still forgot you. For this matter, I scolded him fiercely."

Xia Lei smiled and said, "It's okay, Mayor Hu, you come to pick me up in person. I feel very proud, haha."

"I'll be relieved if you can think of this." Hu Hou drove the car, was silent for a moment before saying again: "There is one more thing, I want to ask you for your opinion."

"Mayor Hu, just say it." Xia Lei has always had a good impression of Hu Hou, and he doesn't feel restrained when he is with a mayor like Hu Hou.

"Do you want your company to go public?" Hu Hou said suddenly.

"Let's go public?" Xia Lei was slightly stunned, "I haven't thought that the company is so small and just started, so how can I have the qualification to go public?"

Hu Hou said: "Scale is definitely not a problem. Your company's profitability is not good. It's not a big problem to go to the GEM. If you want to go to the market, I can help you operate."

Xia Lei thought for a moment, "This is not a trivial matter, let me consider it and then give you a reply."

"Of course I have to consider it. I won't urge you. Once you have thought about it, I'll send me a reply." Hu Hou said.

Xia Lei nodded, but thought in his heart, "For no reason, why did he ask me to go public? The company has only one purpose, that is, to raise funds and use the money of shareholders to develop the company, but I am not short of money. Why do I do if I have nothing to do? If I encounter a business opponent who sniped my stocks, I will not get any benefits and cause trouble and go to a ghost market."

It took some time to consider it, but Xia Lei thought about it within two minutes after closing his mouth and was not short of money. What market should he go to?

In China, there are many examples of profitable companies not going public. The most famous ones are Huawei, Lao Ganma, etc. The Leima Manufacturing Company is now unable to compare with such large companies, but listing is really unnecessary.
