Chapter 261: Unqualified

When Linda walked out of the office, her expression immediately returned to its original appearance - cold as ice.

As she walked through the common office area and up the stairs to the third floor, Linda suddenly snickered with joy.

Thankfully, Evan didn't ask me to leave the company.

Although I was very upset about the words that amounted to a face-to-face rejection, I could bear it.

Who I am, I'm Linda.

is the smartest and strongest Sproul.

So, hold on, Linda, and you'll reap the most delicious fruits.

Linda cheered herself up and was determined to stay with the company.

On the way, Linda remembered something and couldn't help but snort coldly in displeasure.

Evan would suddenly talk to himself, and it must have been something Virginia had said.

Hmph, you said you were going to keep it secret...... Failure to keep promises.

……

After dealing with Linda's affairs, Evan continued to devote himself to his work. For failing to "fire" Linda as Virginia requested, Evan is ready to be taught a lesson by her.

Leaving Linda in the company, Evan also knew that it might not be a good fit, and he really couldn't bear it.

It's always easy for a woman to fight for love, and Evan is no exception. Although he couldn't respond, he didn't want to hurt people's hearts too much.

It's not that he has any dirty thoughts about opening a harem, but he just thinks that maybe with the passage of time and the deepening of his understanding, Linda may wake up one day.

In the future, anything can happen.

I only hope that Linda can meet his true son one day sooner.

Evan worked extra today and was already past seven o'clock in the evening when he returned to San Marino.

However, even so, as soon as he returned home, what awaited Evan was a delicious meal that was still hot, and Audrey's warm waiting.

After dinner, the expected phone call came as scheduled. Evan was lectured by Virginia for several minutes, and he didn't reply, after all, he was the one who was the first to lose.

However, what Evan doesn't know is that after Virginia teaches him a lesson, she is also blamed by Linda for a night.

……

Caltech's spring break is short, with a total of 10 days.

The last day of March is also the last day of spring break.

This day is an important day for Xerox that deserves to be recorded in the company's history.

On this day, trial production was carried out on the Xerox photocopier production line in Wilmington, along with SONY TV/Cooker and Bondi Band-Aid, and the mass-produced photocopier successfully rolled off the production line.

As a product that attracted much attention from Evan, he and Carlson watched each component of the photocopier be assembled on the assembly line on this day, and he was the first user when the first photocopier was over-aligned. After confirming the effect of the photocopy, he asked the quality inspection team to take over.

How the performance of the machine, of course, is not something that Evan can draw conclusions with a look, whether the trial production is successful or not, whether it can be mass-produced, must be professionally tested.

There are dozens of projects for the quality inspection of photocopiers, and it takes a lot of time to complete them all. As a result, the first series production machine, which was completed in the morning, was completed in the afternoon, in addition to the time-consuming and labor-intensive reliability tests.

"BOSS, the results are in. ”

Carlson, who followed up on the test himself, took the report and walked into a lounge-turned-office of the factory without even knocking on the door, where he sat down with Evan and other executives who had been waiting.

"Tell me how it turned out. ”

Evan and the others were looking forward to it.

Under the gaze of everyone, Magnus waved the report, and did not say the conclusion first, but elaborated: "With this ModelA, we tested all the items that took less time, including the quality of the copy, the failure rate of 100 operations, the accuracy of the assembly, etc......."

"In terms of copy quality, the original target ...... has been basically achieved"

"In terms of failure rate, it is a little higher than the prototypes made in the laboratory, which should be the reason for the slightly worse assembly quality of the mass product, which can be corroborated by the results of the assembly accuracy test......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

All in all, based on the current test results, the quality inspection team gave a qualified evaluation result. ”

That's the main content of the report. ”

After Carlson finished speaking, he was about to take the lead in applauding and celebrating, only to find the boss Evan frowning.

"Evan ......" Carlson handed the report to Evan and asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Evan took the report and flipped through the pages to see that it was made up of different test forms, the numbers on them were all handwritten, and the notes for each project were different.

Evan looked at the report without saying a word, and the others looked at each other.

After a while, Carlson couldn't help but ask, "Evan, what's the problem?"

Evan nodded, beckoned to Carlsen, pointed to the open report, and said, "Carlson, don't you think this assembly accuracy is a little too bad?"

Carlson's standards for each test item of the photocopier were set by Carlson, and Evan was not very involved, and he felt that with Carlson's ability, he should be able to develop appropriate and practical standards. Seeing the reality today, Evan found that he seemed too naΓ―ve.

"Carlson, with this accuracy, it is no wonder that the failure rate of mass production ports is not high. ”

Carlson explained: "Evan, I also wanted to raise some standards, but I couldn't help it, and if the accuracy was high, not only would the production speed be reduced a lot, but the training time of the workers would also increase. ”

"What's more, if you do that, you won't be able to get the production line done in March. ”

Of course, the latter sentence Carlson only passed in his heart for a while, and did not say it.

After hearing this, Evan shook his head and said, "That's not good, Carlson, you're putting the cart before the horse." ”

"I've emphasized before that quality and effectiveness are key to the success of a product. The latter, which is determined by the design phase and usually requires a flash of genius, a certain amount of luck, and a great vision, which is more difficult, while the former is extremely important but more controllable, because as long as the manager is willing to take the time, he will definitely improve. ”

"Judging from the test results, this failure rate is unacceptable. I don't think any customer will buy a machine that needs to be repaired once a day, and this machine is not cheap. ”

Speaking of which, Evan looked at Girard, "Girard, what do you think?"

Girard glanced at Carlsen and nodded, "BOSS, I agree with you. ”

Carlson asked with a tangled face, "So, Evan, do you think the products produced now are substandard?"

"Yes!" Evan thought for a moment and said in a commanding tone, "Carlson, Wells, I'll give you some more time to improve the accuracy...... Well, at least 20%"

"As for today's trial production, it's not a failure, and it's time to celebrate. ”

"Whew!"

Everyone was relieved to hear Evan say that the celebration would continue as usual.
