Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 138 Don't Be a Capitalist, Be an Entrepreneur
"With the completion of the production line of the Zhoujiazui branch factory, the manufacturing cost will be further reduced in the future, the production efficiency will be greatly improved, and the failure rate will be greatly reduced."

Ye Youcai, who is currently in charge of the production line, is standing behind Cheng Nuo and Yang Jichuan, reporting to them the recent production situation in the factory area.

Yuan Zongyao, who is in charge of sales on the other side, also said: "The improvement of the production process means that our profit margin can be expanded, and because the shipment volume is guaranteed, the Shanghai area will definitely not be able to satisfy our appetite in the future."

In the past, as the director of Watson Electric Manufacturing Factory, Yang Jichuan would definitely give work instructions to the two backbones at this time, telling them what to do next.

But now that Cheng Nuo, the major shareholder, was next to him, it was a bit embarrassing for him to give instructions directly over him.

While the workers were still arranging the wires, Yang Jichuan also took out a pen and paper, changed his status as the factory manager to the chief engineer, and turned sideways to report on his work.

"Professor Cheng, after Mr. Tesla's improvement of the motor and the efforts of the master workers, our new generation of electric fans have been compared with similar products of the American GENERAL company. The test items include speed, wind speed, power, and utility. values, temperature rise, etc., and the results are excellent!"

Cheng Nuo put his hands behind his back and said with interest: "I remember we did a comparison test last time, and the overall performance has already surpassed. This time is a single value comparison?"

Yang Jichuan adjusted his glasses with the end of a pencil, turned to a page in his notebook, and said excitedly: "In the past, we were fighting for comprehensive ability, and some items were tied at most, but now it's different. Let's choose one at random. It can be crushed and surpassed in all directions without dead ends!"

Swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, Yang Jichuan went on to say: "I believe that even if the American Qiqi company wants to counterattack, it will take at least half a year. This is the most optimistic estimate under the condition of product upgrades and ocean transportation. According to the gossip, they are planning to lower the price and start a price war with us.”

Hearing this, Cheng Nuo couldn't let go of his heart. He had worked so hard to dig out these talents, each of them was very precious, and there was no room for any mistakes.

Yang Jichuan affirmed: "Yes, the situation is like this, everything is developing in an optimistic direction."

After hesitating for a while, Yang Jichuan walked over from the clothes hanger and said seriously: "Professor Cheng, the Watson Electric Laboratory is just a conception, and there is nothing yet. Although you agreed, I decided to change the original address to Zhou's house." The mouth is built next to the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences."

"Hey, good guy, I didn't expect the wind to be so strong. It's much stronger than our small electric fan. I bought one in summer and put it in the main room. It's absolutely comfortable to sleep under."

Are you also worried about the fan blade falling off?Don't worry, our Huasheng Electric Appliance Factory focuses on quality. You should know this better than me. Even if the house collapses, the fan blades will not fly. "

Yang Jichuan turned the faucet very small and rinsed his arms with the water on it: "At the same time, there are three other things: a 10kw alternator, a 60amp electroplating generator and a switchboard. Although Mr. Tesla joined in the front, It speeds up our motor research a lot, but the technological leap is too big, and it has not been digested yet."

Cheng Nuo, who was bent over to wash his face, turned his head and said, "That's right, his stuff is good, but it's not easy to implement it from the laboratory to the factory, and successfully achieve mass production. You can do your own research. , if you encounter difficulties, you can go to him directly."

"In Jiading, that's a bit of a distance." Cheng Nuo slowly wrung the water from the towel, making sure to wring it dry before returning it to the other party: "Let's dry it in the sun."

Yang Jichuan instinctively looked at Cheng Nuo: "Professor Cheng, do you have any other instructions?"

Cheng Nuo nodded as he listened: "That is to say, our quality, output and profit margin have all gone up, and the failure rate has also come down?"

After finishing the second half of the sentence, Yang Jichuan also realized that it was wrong, and quickly slapped himself on the mouth: "Hey, hey, look at what I said, Professor Cheng, don't worry, whether it's a fan or a house, the quality is guaranteed. .”

"Professor Cheng, everything is fine, just wait to turn on the power to see how it works."

Open up a bright world of our domestic household electrical appliances industry, and tell the world that imported products may not be better than domestic products. "

"Why is it so grand that you start using the word 'approval'?" Cheng Nuo got up and turned off the faucet, shook the water from his hands and smiled, "Let's hear it?"

Seeing that the other party misunderstood what he meant, Cheng Nuo couldn't laugh or cry: "Old Yang, I designed that ceiling fan by myself, so why don't you know the details? I didn't go because I didn't want to disturb the happiness of those workers. No less hard work, let them relax."

Not participating in the carnival of the crowd, even though Cheng Nuo was far away, the breeze could still shake the bangs on his forehead from time to time, and he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

This time Yang Jichuan was really moved, and immediately felt like the electric fan was not turning, and he was hanging himself on it.

While everyone was still discussing and afraid to go forward because of the power, Yang Jichuan ran directly under the fan, spread his hands to feel the gusts of wind, and said excitedly:

Yang Jichuan said slowly: "Professor Cheng, what we want is your words."

"Don't worry, I can't fall from this height."

"No, Professor Cheng, I also want to build a similar research institute to serve the factory area." Yang Jichuan held his own towel in his hand, so nervous that he didn't dare to wipe his face first.

When he said those words just now, he was very timid. After all, Zhoujiazui’s Electrical Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences has already started construction. It seems that he is going to set up a laboratory at this time, which seems to be superfluous.

When the time is right in the future, the factory will be opened in Beijing, one south and one north, to completely secure the leading position in the household appliance industry, and gradually establish overseas branch factories, striving to make the "Watson" brand popular at home and abroad.

After pushing, he still didn't forget to shout to the crowd over there: "Make room for Director Yang, don't stand around the fan, step back."

And you can also take this opportunity to test the achievements of these Chinese Vocational Education Associations. If the students are really as good as the president Huang Yanpei said, you don't have to worry about skilled workers who will build aircraft and ships in the future.

After all, no matter how cheap electric fans are, in terms of domestic reality, there are still a few who can afford them. It is far inferior to European and American countries where the second industrial revolution is more thorough. At that time, it is completely possible to increase the price abroad and feed back the benefits to the domestic people. .

Cheng Nuo was very helpless, and patted his shoulder heavily with his hand patting the dirt: "This is not an example, just turn on the power and see if it goes well."

Hearing this, Yang Jichuan finally felt a trace of anger in his body.

Turning on the faucet, Cheng Nuo took a handful of water and splashed it on his face: "Apart from this ceiling fan, is there anything else the factory does?"

"It's like this. Isn't our Academy of Sciences preparing for the Institute of Electrical Engineering, and the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences in Shanghai?" Yang Jichuan said, handing over a clean towel.

Turning his head back, Yang Jichuan also smiled and said: "Let's go, let these masters have a good experience of the ceiling fan that I personally made, and I won't disturb them."

Cheng Nuo hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and while patting the dirt on the opponent's body, he blamed him: "Old Yang, what do you think you are doing, if you really fall, I will feel sorry for my sister-in-law."

Under everyone's gaze, the ceiling fan began to rotate slowly, and then the wind became stronger and stronger, and everyone could feel the cold wind coming from a long distance away.

Yang Jichuan turned off the tap, hesitated for a moment and said, "Dean Cheng, I want to do something else, and I need your approval?"

"Can you tell me more about it?" After wiping his face, Cheng Nuo slowly washed the towel under the faucet, and outsiders couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Even if this is just a hint of independence, whether the other party is intentional or not, Cheng Nuo will kill it, so as to prevent other subordinate organizations from following suit in the future and causing chaos.

With so many master workers watching, Yang Jichuan didn't dare to show it too clearly, and grinned, "Professor Cheng, your body is much more suitable than mine, why don't you come here."

"Yes, there is such a thing. Didn't Watson Electric Appliance Factory receive the invitation letter? As for the Electrical Research Institute, Mr. Tesla will be in charge, and the research results will be given priority to us for our own use. Worry about that." Picking up a towel to wipe the water off his face, Cheng Nuo asked.

The master worker riding on the ladder, with his head on the ceiling, shouted to the people below.

Ye Youcai took off his glasses, wiped the moist corners of his eyes, and muttered: "Okay, okay, we can make things that foreigners can't make."

In the future, more and more people will sit in, and the situation will get better and better.

Yang Jichuan said, "Professor Cheng, please tell me."

Cheng Nuo shook his head and said with a smile: "You are the director of the factory, and you know more about specific techniques than I do. I, an amateur, can guide you, an expert, so it's good enough not to cause trouble. You should do it."

Cheng Nuo smiled gratifiedly, and then stretched out the third finger: "Third, in addition to focusing on research and development, we must apply for a patent as soon as possible."

"Okay, then come down, pay attention to safety."

Cheng Nuo didn't continue talking nonsense, and just pushed her over: "What do mother-in-law and mother-in-law look like, if you are told to go, then go quickly."

"The wind is strong, but the fan blades are not small, and there is no protective net to stop them. Do you think someone will fall asleep below, and one day the fan leaves will fly down, and that person just raised his head... Hey, think about it. Just shiver."

Hearing the second item, Yang Jichuan didn't hesitate too much, and directly agreed that skilled workers were also in short supply for him, and he didn't even mention the salary. It seemed like a request, but it could actually help him a lot.

Yuan Zongyao patted his friend on the back and comforted him: "Don't worry, with everyone here, our products will only get better and better. This is just the beginning. Sooner or later, the products in the factory will be sold all over the world!"

Outside the factory area, there is another row of sinks. The difference is that this time they are all covered with white tiles, making them look much cleaner and tidy.

The three of them glanced at each other, all relieved.

"Professor Cheng, Youcai, Zong Yao, masters, come and see, our first self-designed and independently-manufactured fan in the true sense, it works, we succeeded, succeeded!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Nuo's path for his future development became clearer. Relying on the three horses of industry, agriculture, and education to be the whip of production, learning and research, coupled with the carriage of the Academy of Sciences, it carries the expectations of everyone, and its speed will only be faster. Come faster and faster until it is overwhelming, another day.

But he also has considerations in doing so. After all, it is a research institute hosted by Tesla. Yang Jichuan has also visited and studied it himself. The things are good, but there is still a long way to go when it comes to actual products.

Needless to say, Cheng Nuo understood the rest. He was worried that his dividend would be affected, which would make him unhappy.

"Bah, Ge Erdan, are you talking in human terms? Do you trust Professor Cheng's design, or do you not trust Director Yang's technology? Let me tell you, I made that leaf myself, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. God, you are gone, this fan can continue to run when it should, nothing will happen!"

Cheng Nuo nodded, and stretched out two fingers: "Second, the treatment of workers must be guaranteed. If possible, we can cooperate with the China Vocational Education Association for school-enterprise training, so that when we build a factory again to recruit workers , can save a lot of training costs, and is also good for students.”

Yang Jichuan smiled honestly: "It's okay, it's coming down quickly."

It seems that there is only a two-word difference between the research institute and the laboratory, but the actual content is that one is biased towards scientific research, and the other is biased toward use. The actual difference is still very large, but out of the emphasis on technology and quality, he still insists on doing so.

For example, Tesla has one site, and you have two sites. As for whether it will be built in Zhoujiazui or Jiading, your factory decides for itself, but the general direction is not allowed to change. "

All three of them nodded seriously. Looking at their expressions, they obviously listened to what they said.

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "Can you guarantee that you can surpass the overall level of the market in terms of technology at any time? Even if this is the case in our country, can you speak so well overseas?"

"It doesn't matter if the machine is broken, people can't have problems, come down quickly, be careful."

After checking everything and making sure that there were no mistakes, Yang Jichuan, who was riding on the ladder, was already sweating profusely. He wiped it with his arm casually, and then gestured downward.

Yang Jichuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll check again."

The boss of the Audio-Technica had spoken, and the other two were also thinking about what to say, but they were interrupted by the sudden noise.

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Oh? Could there be something hidden here?"

"So that's how it is." Looking back at the workers and masters, after he left, they all relaxed a lot, and even took off their short sleeves, sat on the ground in twos and threes, shirtless, bragging and farting, Yang Jichuan was thoughtful Said: "These guys are really like this."

Yang Jichuan was a little embarrassed: "It's not that we haven't applied for a patent before. Every time we have to be slaughtered by the public, it may be convenient for others in the end. Why don't we keep researching and developing to ensure that the technology exceeds the overall level of the market."

Before foreigners developed the ceiling fan, he led the Chinese to manufacture it first, just to seize the opportunity, swallow the potential market first, and establish his dominance in the electric fan industry.

After speaking, Yang Jichuan went straight to the ceiling fan. After holding the ladder to let the master worker down, he himself followed the procedure and checked everything again, even the screws on the fan to see if they were tightened.

While the other party was busy, Cheng Nuo smiled and said: "It seems that you have planned for a long time, I support you, let's go ahead, strive for the continuous innovation of the factory's technology, manufacture more practical electrical equipment, and let more people people benefit."

Although Cheng Nuo will not be like a master of micromanagement, managing these people everywhere, but it is not a full delegation of authority. At least this structural framework must be decided by him to prevent the future from going astray, bloated staff, and resulting in inefficiency low.

"Okay." Yang Jichuan hesitated for a moment, then took the towel and went to the drying rack to set the towel up.

Now Yang Jichuan was even more nervous, with sweat dripping from his face: "Yes...it's like this. I'm going to build a Watson Electric Laboratory in Nanxiang to buy international advanced instruments. On the one hand, I can strictly control the quality of the products. On the other hand, it is also good to keep improving and developing new products.”

As the backbone of the China Vocational Education Association, Cheng Nuo was ashamed to say that since he attended the meeting, he never asked them about their specific situation.Now that he has a factory under his command, it is really unreasonable not to give priority to those students under the same conditions.

When he came to the switch knife, Yang Jichuan didn't say anything else, and closed the switch knife decisively.

Speaking of Yang Jichuan, although it was different from what he had originally thought, the result was still good, and he said with relief: "Okay, let's make a careful calculation later."

"Leader, we have finished wiring and the big red flower has been fastened. Let's see what's missing?"

Simply trot over by yourself and help him hold the ladder.

Cheng Nuo thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I have three requirements concerning the future development of Huasheng Electric Manufacturing Factory, you'd better remember them."

Cheng Nuo stretched out a finger: "First, I allow you to establish an electrical laboratory. The people can be your people, and the researched things can also be given priority to you, but they must be affiliated with the Academy of Sciences and obey the unified authority of the above." arrange.

Cheng Nuo nodded, turned sideways to look at the three backbones of Watson Electric Factory, and said with a smile: "The price war is good, what we want is to make the gringos lower their stance, and the people under us will benefit in the end. Right now The cost has come down, and while ensuring that our business operations are not affected, we will fight hard.

However, Cheng Nuo is not such a mercenary person. Looking at the three of them, he smiled and said, "There are tens of thousands of money-making businesses, and this is not a bad time. As long as you don't bully the people and don't make black-hearted money, you don't have to worry about such things." , you can decide for yourself. Shopping malls are like battlefields, if you miss the opportunity, you will really miss it.”

Cheng Nuo smiled: "Do you want to go outside?"

Especially Yang Jichuan, the expression on his face was even worse, and the feeling of trust made him very useful: "Our electrical appliance factory is named 'Watson', which means 'rebirth of the Chinese nation', Professor Cheng, don't worry, no matter when and where , our ideal of saving the country through industry will not change.”

He was very nervous holding the ladder down, afraid of stepping on Cheng Nuo below, and finally reached a certain distance, so he simply jumped down.

"It's not about hidden feelings, but we had some concerns before you came." Yang Jichuan shook his head and explained: "When we heard that the other party was planning to fight a price war, we were ready to cut the price, but in this way, the overall profit of the factory area will be reduced. It may be affected, and you are our major shareholder..."

While Cheng Nuo was still dreaming, Yang Jichuan under the ceiling fan noticed the situation here, squeezed over from the crowd, and said with concern: "Professor Cheng, why don't you go over here, it's so hot here, why don't you go and feel our The wind from the ceiling fan, coupled with the cold mung bean soup, is absolutely refreshing from head to toe.

"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Huang tomorrow, and ask him to move the students' practice room to me, and let the students get started as soon as possible, so that they can seamlessly connect after graduation. I can guarantee that the salary will be so good. , the entire Shanghai Beach belongs to our family.”

Yang Jichuan had a bitter face, he knew the situation of his own family, so he could only shake his head: "Not for the time being."

Cheng Nuo sighed: "The world is either white or black, and it's more of a chaotic gray. Don't be reluctant to give up small money. If you need to clear up the relationship, clear the relationship. In the future, when the business grows, there will always be people who are jealous. Putting cold arrows in the back, this is not sure.

As for patents, not only domestic ones have to be applied for, but also foreign ones. For example, the last time you used cast aluminum instead of copper bar welding technology, you can apply for patents and learn to use foreign weapons for self-defense. In the future, we will go out. "

After a pause, Cheng Nuo patted Yang Jichuan on the shoulder, looked back at the factory where the machines were roaring, and said with emotion: "We must shoulder social responsibilities, not to be capitalists, but to be entrepreneurs!"
