Chapter 139: Don't Be a Capitalist, Be an Entrepreneur

"With the completion of the production line of the Zhoujiazui branch, 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 to report to them the recent production situation in the factory.

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

If it was in the past, as the director of Huasheng Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory, Yang Jichuan would definitely give work instructions to the two backbones at this time, telling them what to continue to do next.

But now there is Cheng Nuo, a major shareholder, next to him, and he directly passed him to give instructions, and he was a little uncomfortable.

While the workers were still finishing the line, Yang Jichuan also took out paper and pen, changed the identity of the factory director to the identity of the chief engineer, and turned sideways to report the work.

"Professor Cheng, after Mr. Tesla's improvement of the motor and the efforts of the workers, our new generation of electric fans has been compared with similar products of the American company Singular again, and the test items include rotational speed, wind rate, electricity, utility value and temperature rise, etc., and the results are very good!"

Cheng Nuo put his hands behind his back and said with interest: "I remember that we did a comparative test last time, and the comprehensive performance has been surpassed, this time it is a single value comparison?"

Yang Jichuan helped his glasses with the end of the pencil, flipped the notebook to one of the pages, and said excitedly: "In the past, we fought for comprehensive ability, and some items were tied at most, but now it is different, we can choose one at will, and we can crush it, and we can achieve all-round transcendence without dead ends!"

Swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, Yang Jichuan continued: "I believe that even if the American Strange Company wants to fight back, it will take at least half a year, which is still the most optimistic estimate in the case of product upgrades and ocean transportation, and I have heard the grapevine that they are ready to lower the price and fight a price war with us."

Cheng Nuo nodded while listening: "That means that our quality, output and profit margin have gone up now, and the failure rate has also gone down?"

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

Cheng Nuo nodded, turned sideways to look at the three backbones of Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory, and said with a smile: "The price war is good, what we want is to let foreign old people lower their profile, and in the end it is our people who will benefit." Now that the cost has come down, in order to ensure that it does not affect our business, we will pull out the posture and fight hard.

Create a bright world in our domestic household appliance industry, and tell the world that imported products may not be better than domestic products."

[In view of the general environment,

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

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

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Oh? Could it be that there is something hidden in this?"

"I can't talk about it, it's just that we had some concerns before you came." Yang Jichuan shook his head and explained, "When we heard that the other party was preparing to fight a price war, we were ready to reduce the price, but in this way, the overall profit of the factory may be affected, and you are our major shareholder......

….

Needless to say, Cheng Nuo understood that he was worried that his dividends would be affected, which would make him unhappy.

However, where could Cheng Nuo be such a mercenary person, looking at the three of them and smiling: "There are thousands of businesses that make money, and it is not bad for this time. As long as you don't oppress the people and don't make black money, you don't need to ask about the above things, you can decide for yourself. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and if you miss the opportunity, you really miss it."

The three of them all nodded earnestly, looking at their expressions, and they obviously listened to what they said.

In particular, Yang Jichuan had an even worse expression on his face, and the feeling of trust made him very useful: "The name of our electrical appliance factory is 'Watson', which means 'the rehabilitation of the Chinese nation, Professor Cheng, you can rest assured, no matter when and where, our ideal of industrial salvation will not change."

The boss of the Iron Triangle spoke, and there were only two left

I also wanted to say something, but unfortunately I was interrupted by the sudden noise.

"Leader, we've done all the wiring, and the big red flower is also tied steadily, what is missing?"

The master worker, who was riding on the ladder, was holding his head above the ceiling and shouted to the people below.

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

Cheng Nuo shook his head and said with a smile: "You are the factory director, you know more about the specific technology than me, I, a layman, guide you as an insider, it's not bad if you don't cause trouble, so you should come."

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

After speaking, Yang Jichuan walked straight to the ceiling fan, and after holding the ladder and letting the workers come down, he personally checked all the screws again according to the process, and even the screws on the fan were tightened.

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

"Professor Cheng, everything is fine, just wait for the power to be turned on and see how it works."

"Okay, then come down and stay safe."

"Don't worry, you can't drop me at this height."

Hearing this, Cheng Nuo was willing to let go of his heart, these talents were all dug up by him with hard work, and each of them was very precious, and there was no room for mistakes.

Just trot over and hold the ladder for him.

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

Yang Jichuan was really moved at this time, and immediately had a feeling that the fan did not turn and hung himself up and turned.

I was very nervous to go down the ladder, for fear of stepping on Cheng Nuo below, and finally reached a certain distance and simply jumped down.

Cheng Nuo hurriedly stepped forward to help, and scolded while patting the soil on the other party's body: "Old Yang, what do you say you are doing, if you really fall, I will be sorry for my sister-in-law at that time."

Yang Jichuan smiled innocently: "It's okay, it's not fast."

Cheng Nuo was very helpless, and slapped his hand on his shoulder: "Don't take it as an example, hurry up and power it to see if it goes well."

There were so many workers and masters watching beside him, Yang Jichuan didn't dare to show it too clearly, and bared his teeth and smiled: "Professor Cheng, your body is much more suitable than mine, or you should come."

….

Cheng Nuo didn't continue to talk nonsense, and directly pushed it over: "Mother-in-law, what does your mother look like, let you go, then hurry up."

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

When he came to the gate knife, Yang Jichuan stopped saying a word and decisively closed the gate knife.

Under the gaze of everyone, the ceiling fan began to rotate slowly, and then the wind became stronger and stronger, and everyone could feel a gust of cold wind coming from afar.

"Oh, good guy, I didn't expect the wind to be so strong, it's much more powerful than our small electric fan, buy one in the summer and put it in the hall, it's absolutely comfortable to sleep underneath."

"The wind is strong, but the fan blades are not small, and there is no net to stop it, do you think there will be someone falling asleep below, one day the fan leaves will fly down, and the person will just look up...... Hiss, I shudder just thinking about it."

"Phew, Ge Erdan, are you talking about human words, do you believe in the design of the professor, or can't you believe in the technology of Director Yang? Let me tell you, I personally beat the blade, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed, even if you are gone, this fan can continue to rotate, and there will be nothing at all!"

When everyone was still talking about it, and they didn't dare to step forward because of the power, Yang Jichuan ran directly under the fan, spread his hands to feel its gust of wind, and said excitedly:

"Professor Cheng, Youcai, Zong Yao, masters, come and see, our first self-designed and independently manufactured fan in the real sense, it has turned up, we have succeeded, we have succeeded!"

Ye Youcai took off his glasses, wiped the moist places in the corners of his eyes, and said with words in his mouth: "Okay, okay, we can also make things that foreigners can't make."

Yuan Zongyao patted his friend's back and comforted: "Don't worry, with everyone here, our things will only get better and better, this is just the beginning, sooner or later, we will sell the things in the factory to all over the world!"

did not participate in everyone's carnival, although Cheng Nuo was far away, the breeze could still stir the bangs on his forehead from time to time, and he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Before the foreigners researched the ceiling fan, he led the Chinese people to manufacture it first, in order to seize the opportunity, swallow the potential market first, and establish its hegemony in the electric fan industry.

When the time is ripe in the future, we will open the factory to Beijing, one south and one north, completely stabilize the leading position in the household appliance industry, and gradually establish branches overseas, and strive to make the "Watson" brand popular at home and abroad.

After all, no matter how cheap the electric fan is, in terms of the domestic reality, there are still a few people who can afford it, and it is far less complete than the European and American countries that are more thorough than the second industrial revolution.

Thinking of this, Cheng Nuo's route for his future development is clearer, relying on the three horses of industry, agriculture and education, the whip of production, education and research, and the carriage of the Academy of Sciences, carrying the expectations of everyone, its speed will only get faster and faster, until it is unstoppable and changes the day.

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

Just when Cheng Nuo was still in reverie, 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, how hot it is here, why don't you feel the wind of our ceiling fan, with the cold mung bean soup, it is absolutely refreshing from head to toe."

….

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

After saying the second half of the sentence, Yang Jichuan also realized that something was wrong with his words, and quickly slapped his mouth: "Bah, bah, look at what I said, Professor Cheng, don't worry, whether it is a fan or a house, the quality is guaranteed."

Seeing that the other party misunderstood what he meant, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but laugh: "Lao Yang, that ceiling fan was designed by me, can I still not know the specific situation, I didn't go to do it so as not to disturb the fun of those workers and masters, and it has been hard these days, let them relax and relax."

"I see." Looking back at those workers and masters, sure enough, after they left, they all relaxed a lot, and even took off their short sleeves directly, sat on the ground shirtless, bragging and spanking, Yang Jichuan said thoughtfully: "These guys, it's really like this."

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

Turning his head back, Yang Jichuan also smiled and said, "Let's go, let these masters feel the ceiling fans they made themselves, and I won't block them."

When I came to the outside of the factory, it was the row of washbasins again, the difference was that this time they were all pasted with white tiles, which looked a lot clean and tidy.

Unscrewed the faucet, Cheng Nuo took a handful of water and splashed it on his face: "In addition to this ceiling fan, does the factory do anything?"

Yang Jichuan turned on the faucet very small and rinsed his arm with the water on it: "At the same time, there are three kinds of 10 kilowatt alternators, 60 amp electroplating generators and switchboards.

Cheng Nuo, who bowed down to wash his face, turned his head and said, "It's also true, his things are good, but it is still very difficult to implement them from the laboratory to the factory and successfully achieve mass production.

Yang Jichuan turned off the faucet, hesitated for a moment and said, "Dean Cheng, I want to do one more thing, and I need your approval?"

"What's so grand that you start to use the word 'approved,'" Cheng Nuo got up and turned off the faucet, shook the water in his hand and smiled, "Tell me about it?"

"That's the case, isn't our Academy of Sciences preparing for the Electrical Society, and the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences will also be established in Shanghai?" Yang Jichuan handed over a clean towel and said.

"Yes, yes

There is such a thing, didn't Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory receive an invitation letter? As for the electrical research institute, Mr. Tesla is in charge, and the results of the research will be given priority to our own use, so we don't have to worry about that." Picking up a towel to wipe the water on his face, Cheng Nuo asked.

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

"Can you elaborate on that?" Cheng Nuo, who wiped his face, slowly washed the towel under the faucet, and outsiders couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

….

Now Yang Jichuan was even more nervous, and there was faint sweat oozing from his face: "Yes...... In this case, I plan to set up a Watson Electric Laboratory in Nanxiang, which specializes in purchasing international advanced instruments, so as to strictly control the quality of products on the one hand, and continuously improve and develop new products on the other hand."

"In Jiading, that's a bit of a distance." Cheng Nuo slowly wrung the water on the towel, and made sure that it was wrung out before returning it to the other party: "Let it dry in the sun."

"Okay." Yang Jichuan hesitated, but still took the towel and walked to the drying rack to put the towel up.

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

Hearing this, Yang Jichuan's body finally felt a trace of anger.

He was very timid when he said those words just now, after all, the Electrical Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences in Zhoujiazui had already begun to be built, and he went to set up a laboratory at this time, which seemed to be a bit of a problem.

But he also did it with consideration, after all, it was a research institute hosted by Tesla, and Yang Jichuan himself went to inspect and study, and the things were good, but when it came to the actual product, there was still a way to go.

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

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Jichuan walked over from the drying rack and said seriously: "Professor Cheng, now the Watson Electric Laboratory is just an idea, and there is nothing yet, although you agreed, I decided to change the original address to Zhoujiazui, which is built next to the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences."

Cheng Nuo thought for a moment, nodded and said, "When it comes to the future development of Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory, I have three requirements here, you'd better remember them."

Yang Jichuan said, "Professor Cheng, please speak."

Cheng Nuo stretched out a finger: "First, I allow you to establish an electrical laboratory, people can be your people, and the things researched can also be supplied to you first, but they must be attached to the brand of the Academy of Sciences and obey the unified arrangement from above.

For example, Tesla is one place, you are two, as for whether it is built in Zhoujiazui or Jiading, this is set by your own factory, but the general direction is not allowed to change."

Although Cheng Nuo will not manage these people under him everywhere like a master of micro-manipulation, he is not fully decentralized, at least this structural framework must be decided by him to prevent the future from going astray and having bloated personnel, resulting in low efficiency.

Even if this is just a hint of independence, whether the other party is intentional or unintentional, Cheng Nuo must strangle it to prevent other subordinate institutions from following the same example in the future and messing up.

Speaking of Yang Jichuan, although it was different from what he thought at the beginning, the result was still good, and he said with relief: "Okay, let's go back and add it up carefully."

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 Society to provide school-enterprise training, so that when we build a factory again to recruit workers, we can save a lot of training costs, and it is also beneficial to students."

….

As the backbone of the China Vocational Education Society, Cheng Nuo is also ashamed, since he participated in the conference, he has not asked them about the specific situation. Now that we have factories under our hands, it is really unreasonable not to give priority to hiring those students under the same conditions.

And you can also take advantage of this

If the students are really as good as President Huang Yanpei said, there will be no need to worry about the technical workers who will build aircraft and shipbuilding in the future.

Hearing this second article, Yang Jichuan did not hesitate too much, and directly agreed, skilled workers are also in short supply to him, and he did not say anything about the treatment, which seems to be a request, but can actually help him a lot.

"Okay, I'll go to Mr. Huang tomorrow and ask him to move the student's internship room to me, so that the student can get started as soon as possible to ensure a seamless transition after graduation. In terms of treatment, I can guarantee that if it can be so good, the whole of Shanghai Tang belongs to our family."

Cheng Nuo smiled with satisfaction, and then stretched out his third finger: "Third, in addition to immersing yourself in research and development, we must apply for a patent as soon as possible."

Yang Jichuan was a little embarrassed: "It's not that we haven't applied for patents, every time we have to be slaughtered by those people in the government, and in the end it may be convenient for others, so it is better for us to continue to develop and ensure that the technology exceeds the overall level of the market."

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "Can you guarantee that we can surpass the overall market level in technology at any time, even if it is like this in our country, can we talk so much overseas?"

Yang Jichuan's face was bitter, and his own situation was clear, so he could only shake his head: "Not for the time being."

Cheng Nuo sighed: "This world is either white or black, more of a chaotic gray, don't be reluctant to make a little money, dredge the relationship when you should dredge the relationship, in the future, when the business grows, there will always be people who are red-eyed, maybe one day they will put a cold arrow in their back, this is not certain."

As for patents, not only domestic ones must be applied, but also foreign ones must be applied for at the same time, for example, the last time you used cast aluminum instead of copper bar welding technology, you can apply for a patent, learn to use foreign weapons to defend yourself, and we will go out in the future."

After a pause, Cheng Nuo patted Yang Jichuan on the shoulder, looked back at the factory area with the roar of the machine, and sighed: "We must shoulder the responsibility of society, don't be a capitalist, be an entrepreneur!"

Stinging thunder
