Chapter 239: Factory
On the day of the wedding, the groom disappeared, which is undoubtedly a huge joke.
Su Mu walked out of the door and looked at the grass of the neighbor's house next to him, only to see a group of guests gathering to talk about something, chickens flying and dogs jumping, and a girl in a white wedding dress shouted loudly, and threw her veil on the ground and stepped on it hard, that figure was fatter than Li Ping'an's mother.
Wearing a wedding dress on the wedding day, he was undoubtedly the bride, and he vaguely understood why the handsome young man last night was so drunk, and after thinking about it, he felt that if he got involved in this marriage, he would probably have to run away.
"What about being a senator, it's not that you can even abandon your son for the sake of your career, after today, whether it is Lieutenant Governor Mr. McCarthy or the new Secretary of the Treasury, they will lose face. ”
It's not a big deal to see the excitement, Su Mu held a meat bun in his hand and muttered to himself. The buns have been prepared for a long time, put them in the refrigerator and freeze them, and they only need to be reheated when they want to eat them, which will not have much impact on the taste in the short term.
Old Tom's housekeeper thought he was talking to himself, and his tone was regretful: "It's really pitiful, I don't want to get married and say no in advance, why do I have to wait until the wedding day to leave, maybe I will come back again, I heard that after many people get married, they live their own lives, just nominal husband and wife, and start a family." ”
"Let's keep that bottle of wine for the time being, we can't deliver it today. ”
Other people's family affairs, Su Mu didn't know much about that wheat and tsi, so he didn't comment on anything, gave up the idea of joining in the fun, and returned to the table to get another bun.
Eating Chinese food, except for Chinatown, it is difficult to eat authentic food in other places in the United States, when Du Zhong and Li Ping'an go home, they will always help Su Mu bring some things that he used to eat from there, such as stinky tofu, kraft candy, etc., and the buns he ate today are also brought from Chinatown.
Last night she went to bed too late, Lily hadn't gotten up yet, and Su Mu wanted her to sleep a little longer, so he didn't wake her up.
At this time, Du Zhong went downstairs, looked tired, and opened his mouth to ask, "I'm hungry, what to eat?"
Not polite at all, as if it was his own home, Su Mu replied angrily: "I was so diligent last night, and I really should be hungry, it's rare to get up so early, I don't know how to be quiet?"
"At that point, who can remember to whisper, Li Ping'an, that bastard, actually knocked on my door last night and was half scared to death!"
Su Mu already knew about Du Zhong's amorous character, and after throwing out a roll of his eyes, he told the housekeeper: "Remember to disinfect the room where he lives, and throw away the quilt cover and bed sheets, if the bed is not valuable, it should be thrown away along with the bed." ”

After breakfast, it's time to go to school, and it's time to go to work.
Lily plans to take Jennifer to San Francisco Bay, speaking of Silicon Valley, there are not many tourist attractions, the nearest is only the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway 1, these are almost all seen by Californians.
Li Ping'an didn't give up, and volunteered to help them drive, Lily agreed, so Su Mu drove the Ferrari to the company by himself, he had something to do today, and he didn't want to go to the boring beach, so he casually found an excuse to sneak out.
Go straight to the Penguin computer assembly factory.
Penguin rented buildings from other companies to produce Walkmans in the early eighties, and then moved the production line to Malaysia as labor costs increased, leaving the five factories with a total area of about 9,000 square meters unused.
Three as a warehouse, the other two for two production lines, recently the daily production capacity has stabilized at about 1,000 units, if you are in a hurry to get the goods, you can also increase the production capacity, but unfortunately the industry competition is too big, the production of so many computers most of the time is enough to sell.
After the new generation of personal computers was put into production, the production of the previous generation of products has been temporarily suspended, and there are still more than 20,000 units in stock in the warehouse, plus the inventory on the dealer's side, it is already good to be able to digest the old products.
It's hard to imagine that such a company renting a factory and buying accessories for assembly can be worth half a billion dollars, mainly because the brand fame of the sales channel is valuable, the first choice when people buy computers is still IBM and Apple, Penguin has been ranked in the second echelon, in fact, in addition to fame, the quality of each computer is not much different, Penguin is relying on after-sales service and convenient customized services, under the encirclement of giants to seize a small part of the market.
Parking the car in the yard of the factory, signaling that the bodyguards did not need to follow, Secretary Allen came in advance, trotted a few steps to Su Mu, and told him: "Boss, there was an operator in the company who died suddenly last night, it seems that it was because of a heart attack, and Blake asked if you need to give her family a pension?"
Su Mu's eyes widened and asked, "Who died, do I know me?"
"A girl named Sophie just came to work in our company at the end of last year. ”
"Hmm...... Seems to be a little impressed. ”
The image of a round-faced girl with freckles appeared in his head, not a few years older than Su Mu, and the good people said that it would be gone, he nodded and continued to speak: "Let Blake give her family a pension, a little higher than the normal standard, if I know which day the funeral will be, I will attend." ”
In 1987, an employee of a Qugou supermarket was involved in a car accident while on vacation with his family, and this is not the company's business.
Alan didn't turn his head: "You're going to participate?"
"Yes, I think it's important to tell her family in person that she's serious about her work, or that Blake can attend. ”
After Su Mu finished speaking, Assistant Allen, who had studied business management, finally reacted, and guessed that Su Mu was using this to express his grief and buy the company's hearts by the way.
Suddenly sighed No wonder when I was in class, the teacher always said that I should learn from successful people, and the textbook would not tell them how to improve employee loyalty, in fact, Alan thought too much about himself, Su Mu simply felt that the company's employees died, and he should go to the boss.
The number of assemblies in the computer factory every day is not much, and the number of employees is naturally not much, a semi-finished computer is on the assembly line, and there are employees sitting next to it, each of whom is only responsible for a program, much like the scene in Chaplin's "Modern Times", but the conveyor belt is not fast, and the workers are still in the mood to chat.
Su Mu walked past them, occasionally saw the workers he was familiar with, and went to say hello, and then came to the "Penguin R&D Department" separated by wall tiles, in fact, there were only six employees, and they used various computer parts on the market to assemble the first Penguin computer......
