063 plant ready
For Chen Wenhao, the matter of wrenching Apple's wrist is more like an episode. www.biquge.info What he is looking forward to now is that the industrial robots and five-axis ultra-precision machine tools ordered from Germany are coming!
Kevin and David emailed him a few days ago to inform him of the progress, and the industrial robots and precision machine tools have been produced and ready to be shipped according to his requirements. In order to be in a hurry, they did not choose the sea freight, which is the most commonly used for the transportation of large equipment, but deliberately rented a large cargo plane for transportation. This saves almost a month, and of course the shipping costs increase almost eightfold.
Because of the setting of international routes, cargo planes could not fly directly to Jianghai City, and finally chose to fly from Hamburg Airport in Germany to Xiangjiang Airport, complete customs declaration and other procedures in Xiangjiang City, and then transfer Jianghai City. During the period when the equipment was parked in Hong Kong, the staff of Facebook's Hong Kong office was responsible for the formalities.
Of course, Chen Wenhao also helped Norton Rock's lawyers. With the participation of lawyers, coupled with the expense, it only took two days, not to mention that all the procedures were completed, and all the equipment was loaded onto the plane to Jianghai City.
Today is the day this equipment arrives. Kevin and David naturally did not follow the cargo plane, and had rushed to Jianghai City to meet Chen Wenhao a day in advance, followed by two German engineers, who were technical guidance sent by industrial robot manufacturers and machine tool manufacturers. The engineer in charge of the industrial robot is named Frank, and the other is named Hans, both typical German male names.
German engineers are only responsible for technical guidance, and the specific installation work has to be done by the customer himself. However, Chen Wenhao has already made arrangements, and a few days ago, he called Li Jianguo, the new director of the lithium battery factory, and asked him to help contact a service company with a good reputation in the industry, specializing in industrial equipment transportation and installation business.
Today's equipment transfer work is also contracted to this company, and Chen Wenhao only needs to sign the detailed bill. So, he originally wanted to take Kevin, David and two German engineers to the factory first.
As a result, two German engineers insisted that they must go to the transfer site to supervise the process. Chen Wenhao naturally did not discourage the enthusiasm of others, especially the other party still worked for himself, so he naturally arranged a car to send two German engineers to the transfer site.
took Kevin and David to visit the company, contacted the people at the transfer site, and felt that the time was about the same, so he drove himself and drove the two foreigners to the factory.
In the car, the three people, who were already quite familiar, chatted casually. Kevin, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, sat in the back row, because his legs were too long to sit and it was uncomfortable, and he changed his position from time to time in the back row. He complained to Chen Wenhao: "Dear Chen, you are the youngest super-rich man I have ever met, you should consider changing to a good car and learn to enjoy it in order to enter your social role." ”
Chen Wenhao still drove the scooter he bought a few years ago, and he has been so busy recently that he can't think of changing the car at all. He has always been free and easy about money. Since he was a child, his family has not been rich, but it is close to the well-off level, except for a little struggle when buying a house, he does not feel short of money when he has no luxury hobbies. This is also related to the family education he received since he was a child: spend more money if he has money, be frugal if he has no money, don't be a miser, and don't be wronged. If it rises to the height of values, that is: the poor do not fall into ambition, and the rich do not go crazy.
But speaking of which, last time Fang Yuxin also mentioned the company's suggestion to buy a vehicle, at that time he happened to go to Xiangjiang to do business, and after coming back, he completely forgot about it. I was inadvertently mentioned by Kevin today, but I think it's necessary.
Not to mention that with the continuous development of the company in the future, there will definitely be many cases of going out to run errands and welcoming customers, let's just say that the upcoming product launch will be held, and it has been determined that many executives of partner companies will attend, and it is necessary to prepare business vehicles. Although renting a car can also solve the problem, there are a few self-owned vehicles, and it is more convenient to adjust.
When the car stopped at the door of the factory, he called Fang Yuxin and asked her to purchase a few commercial vehicles for the company before the press conference.
"Boss, how many cars do you need to buy? Is there a budget requirement? ”
"Buick's seven-seater business car is more practical, so let's get three first. In addition, buy a passable reception car, with a budget of less than 500,000 yuan. ”
In the short time that he and Fang Yuxin were on the phone, Kevin and David had already finished touring the factory. The main thing is that there is really nothing to look at, a cement vacant space of more than 100 square meters at the entrance of the factory, after walking in, the 2000 square meters of factory building is empty, and there is not even a chair.
There are quite a few people at the scene, and the installation engineering team of the service company has been in place in advance and is directing a forklift to go down from the truck. An executive of the service company knew Chen Wenhao and hurriedly ran over to say hello, "Mr. Chen, our boss followed the delivery team and just called, saying that there is still half an hour to arrive." ”
"Okay, everyone's worked hard, how are you preparing here?"
"No problem, the tools are ready. The boss personally ordered the troops yesterday, and the people who came today are absolutely skilled. ”
After chatting with the people from the service company, Kevin took the time to interject, "Hey, dear Chen, this is your factory?" The space seems to be a little smaller. ”
Chen Wenhao looked at him amusedly, "What do you want to see?" Gigafactory? It's just a small test shop, like your American garage workshop. He shrugged, "You can also understand that every man has a toy dream in his heart." ”
Kevin spread his hands and smiled wryly, "Hey, I can't afford to buy tens of millions of dollars in toys." ”
David's face was full of curiosity, "Chen, I didn't know that you still knew about machine tools." Can you tell us what you plan to do here? ”
When Kevin heard the question, he stopped being funny and listened attentively.
Chen Wenhao looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, "You two, you have been testing since this morning. Really interested? ”
"Of course, I remember you said that you wanted to make a product that detonated the consumer market. We at Accel are more than happy to be a part of it. ”
"Greylock too, and we're sure you'll continue to deliver wonders and surprises."
"Really want to know?" Chen Wenhao looked at the two foreigners standing in front of him, "Wait for the product launch conference, I will consider taking it out to show off." ”
"Already have a sample?" Kevin asked in surprise.
Chen Wenhao no longer paid attention to the two monkey anxious foreigners and walked into the factory.
Compared with the shabby and dilapidated when it was first rented, the current factory has become a new look. He specially invited a security company specializing in high-end customers, and installed a complete set of anti-theft security equipment inside and outside the factory: infrared and ultrasonic intrusion detection instruments, automatic identification and control equipment at the entrance, doors and windows have been cured.
After the security company completed the installation project, it showed Chen Wenhao that if someone forcibly broke into the workshop without authorization, the doors and windows of the workshop would be closed by high-strength alloy security fences and an alarm would be issued. In order to be sure, the security company frantically added a layer of alloy steel to the wall.
Chen Wenhao was very satisfied with this, and simply handed over the security system of the two newly bought houses to them.
However, the biggest hole card that reassures Chen Wenhao is that Xiaoka has made an intelligent program, which resides in the monitoring equipment of the factory and guards the factory 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Remote shock devices are also installed at some nodes in the plant.
The remote electric shock equipment has a certain lethality, and the regular security company will naturally not help install it, and Chen Wenhao only let them reserve the power interface in the node area. According to the guidance of Xiaoka, a batch of long-range stun guns was purchased online, and then fixed to the designated position, a little camouflage is sufficient.
Compared with the big hands of safety engineering, other renovation projects are relatively simple. A professional company was brought in, the factory was renovated, the ground was hardened, air purification equipment was installed, and a 0.8-meter-deep foundation was dug in the area where the precision machine tools were placed.
Everything is ready and waiting for the equipment to arrive!
