Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 105: Haixing Home Appliance Factory! (Third update!)
Yushan City is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Suzhou. As a capable general of Suzhou Province, Yushan City also has the characteristics of Suzhou Province's rebellion.

The thing that the people of Yushan want to do most is to move their leader from Gusu to Modu.

From then on, he became the CEO, married a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reached the peak of his life.

And the Magic City is also happy to see this happen.

The man has feelings and the woman is willing, so logically speaking, this matter should be successful.

But Gusu didn't want to.

Huajiabang Subdistrict Office, Haixing Home Appliance Factory.

Li Xun stood in front of the God of Wealth, bent over, and raised his hands above his head.

In his hand were three bright yellow sandalwood sticks that had been lit. Wisps of smoke were drifting away, emitting a faint fragrance.

After bowing three times respectfully, Li Xun lowered his hand and slowly inserted the sandalwood incense into the incense burner:

"Ancestors, God of Wealth, I, Li Xun, am risking everything this time. I hope that the ancestors and God of Wealth will bless me, so that I can recover and the Li family's incense can continue."

After offering incense, Li Xun turned around and pulled his wife and son over. He picked up a few incense sticks from the altar and stuffed them into his wife and children's hands one by one:

"Come, you too, come and burn some incense for our ancestors."

While his wife was busy burning incense, he held his son in his arms, let him hold the incense, bowed respectfully, and then spoke, but the words he said were not respectful at all:
"Ancestors, this is the only one in our Li family."

"If I can't get through this, our Li family will be extinct. You, my ancestors, must keep an eye on me from down there and help me get through this difficult time."

Just after he finished speaking, before he could even burn incense, his son was snatched away by his wife, who slapped him in the face with her backhand:
"Can't you just threaten yourself?"

"What do you know? Grandparents are close relatives, do you understand?" Li Xun rolled his eyes at his wife, took the incense from his son's hand, and gently inserted it into the incense burner.

Then he stood there again, muttering softly, "May our ancestors bless you."

Behind this family of three was Han Rui, the technician sent by Lin Yi. Looking at this family of three, he didn't know whether to say that they were superstitious or that they had a simple worldview.

Finally, Li Xun finished worshipping the God of Wealth, and after sending his wife and children upstairs, he turned and walked to Han Rui, "Mr. Han, let's go and pick them up."

"Ah."

The two walked out of the office building lobby one after the other and headed towards the factory gate together.

In the guard room at the gate, the old guard was lazily lying on the windowsill, sleeping soundly.

Li Xun did not wake up the old security guard, but walked out the door directly and stood in the cold wind, looking forward to it.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, an old Santana appeared in the camera's view and slowly stopped in front of Li Xun.

The driver's door opened, Lin Yi got out, walked up to Li Xun and gave him a hug:
"Mr. Li, it's so cold, why are you outside?"

Li Xun gave Lin Yi a hug and said, "Boss Lin is here to guide the work personally. If I don't wait outside, should I wait in the office?"

"Let's go to the office and talk slowly."

Although he said that he wanted to go to the office to talk, Li Xun did not move his feet. Instead, he stood there and kept pulling Lin Yi.

Lin Yi waved his hand and pointed to the factory building not far away:
"Boss Li, where are the other CEOs?"

"The other CEOs are in the office. Mr. Lin, you go first." Li Xun stopped pulling, took a half step back, and pointed with his right hand at the factory building not far away:

"My dears, call them down."

Faced with the invitation, Lin Yi did not go directly to the front. He walked to Han Rui's side and pushed the two forward: "Okay, you go and call them. Han Rui, tell us about the situation in the workshop."

In this way, Han Rui walked in front and introduced as he walked, while Lin Yi lagged behind him half a step, watching as he walked.

"Mr. Li's original production line mainly produced 40-liter and 60-liter water heaters. He only had an assembly workshop, and the main parts were purchased from outside."

“So the transformation this time is not difficult.”

"I cut the 40-liter water heater and adjusted some things on the assembly line. Then, we added some suppliers and replaced some according to the drawings and supplier list you provided, boss."

"Also, I don't know if it's luck, but from what I can see so far, the parts we purchase have a very high yield rate, and the quality is indeed slightly better than that of our competitors. If the supplier can maintain this, then we can increase production and easily spread the costs."

"When the time comes, what you said, boss, is that under the premise of the same price, the quality is 50% higher than that of the competitors. It will not be impossible."

"I also applied for 3C certification, using the name of a facelift. The appearance hasn't changed much, so I just added a label."

"Now all we have to do is put these parts together and see if our new water heater can save 50% of energy."

"If we can achieve that, then I can confidently say that, at least in the Yangtze River Delta, we have no rivals."

While talking, the two of them also walked into the factory.

Lin Yi stood at the entrance gate, his eyes scrutinizing as he scanned the factory building bit by bit.

Just as Han Rui said just now, there is only one production line in the factory.

This production line extends from the entrance of the factory to the end of the factory.

The positions on both sides of the production line are already filled with workers in uniform.

These workers stood there with firm eyes and serious expressions, looking very professional.

While Lin Yi was studying the production line, Han Rui's explanation was also heard nearby, but there was a hint of a smile in his voice:

"These workers were selected by Mr. Li after I arrived here."

"To put it in one sentence, they were able to communicate normally, they listened to what we explained, and they followed our instructions."

"Boss, do you want to say a few words?"

Facing Han Rui's suggestion, Lin Yi turned his head slightly. When their eyes met, they both saw the smile in each other's eyes, as well as a hint of understanding. Lin Yi then waved his hand and pointed his chin at the production line:
"Don't waste time. Once Mr. Li and his team arrive, we can start running the test right away. Problems on the production line can only be found by running the line."

"Today is January 13th, and Chinese New Year is on the 13th of next month. We don't have much time left, and we don't have time to waste."

Han Rui nodded, turned and walked towards the production line.

Soon, there was a commotion behind Lin Yi. Turning around, he saw Li Xun, Zhou Hongjiang and others.

After meeting, they nodded to each other as a greeting.

Li Xun naturally took a step forward, then abruptly raised his hands, clapped them vigorously, and shouted loudly to the workers on the production line:
"Dear colleagues, this is Mr. Lin, the general manager of Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group."

"He is also our company's largest shareholder, holding 55% of the shares of our Haixing Home Appliance Factory."

"Today, he has come to our company to provide technical guidance for the trial operation of our production line."

"Now, raise your hands and applaud our General Lin." After shouting, Li Xun raised his hands above his head and was the first to applaud.

The workers beside the production line were stunned when they suddenly heard Li Xun's words. After sorting out the so-called major shareholder relationship, these workers followed Li Xun's actions and raised their hands to applaud.

55% of the shares almost means that the factory already belongs to Mr. Lin.

If the factory collapses, it is impossible for Mr. Lin to just stand by and watch.

Thinking of this, the applauding workers clapped their hands even harder.

Amid the applause, Lin Yi glanced at Li Xun indifferently, without refutation or scolding, but raised his hand and clapped along with the rhythm.

The applause gradually died down. Lin Yi raised his right hand, drawing the attention of the workers present to himself, and then shouted loudly:

"My last name is Lin Yi, and I'm very happy to be able to invest in the Haixing Home Appliance Factory."

"The future of Haixing Home Appliance Factory rests on your shoulders. The road ahead is long and arduous. The revolution has not yet succeeded, so comrades must continue to work hard."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We are now starting the trial run of the production line and producing products."

"Han Rui, turn on the power."

After a loud shout, a crisp clicking sound came from the other end of the production line, the lights on the production line lit up, and the conveyor belt started to move.

The workers guarding both ends of the production line immediately started working when they saw the conveyor belt start.

Feeding, assembly, every step is in order.

After the production line started, Han Rui took a notebook and started from one end of the production line, moving along with the first part. When the part arrived at a position, he made a record, and when it arrived at the next position, he made another record.

Because it was the first time to use the modified production line, the workers' movements were not very agile, and they would occasionally make mistakes due to nervousness.

When these workers made mistakes, Han Rui would stop recording and provide careful guidance.

Lin Yi was very satisfied with Han Rui's behavior. Xiaomi Heavy Industry will become very big in the future, and it is impossible for him to take care of everything alone.

At that time, someone will be needed to implement the orders, so the more careful people like Han Rui there are, the better.

Two hours later, the first water heater after the renovation of Haixing Home Appliance Factory finally came off the production line with some bumps.

Because the workers made many mistakes, the first water heater off the production line had a lot of scratches on it.

Looking at this water heater, Han Rui did not rush to stop the production line, but asked the production line to produce another nine units before shutting down the production line.

There are a total of 10 water heaters. Except for the first one which looks rather shabby, the skills of the assemblers for the next 9 units seem to have made a leap forward. Han Rui searched for a long time with a magnifying glass, even turning over all the screw holes, but he couldn't find the scratches that are most easily caused during assembly.

After inspecting the appearance of the 10 water heaters and recording the results in his notebook, Han Rui waved his hand:
"Pull it to the test workshop and start performance testing."

The testing workshop is next to the production workshop, but the entrances are not the same and you need to enter from another direction.

Lin Yi and Li Xun took the lead, lifted the first rather ugly-looking water heater, walked out of the production workshop door, and entered the testing workshop from the other side.

The testing workshop is not big and a bit old. In sharp contrast to the oldness of the workshop are the testing tools and equipment in the workshop, as well as the brick wall in the middle with ten new water heaters hanging on it.

Except for a few devices that can be seen as old at a glance, the rest of the equipment is new.

At just one glance, Lin Yi knew that these equipment were purchased urgently after Han Rui came.

Seeing this, he turned his head and glanced at Li Xun meaningfully.

No wonder this guy was controlled by Liu Qiming. He didn't even go through the full test. It would be strange if he wasn't controlled.

After walking around the test workshop, Lin Yi returned to Li Xun, patted him on the shoulder, and turned towards Li Xun, Zhou Hongjiang and others, and whispered:
“Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn’t matter if the things sold to foreigners are a little worse, but the things in the future will mainly be sold to the country and to our compatriots.”

"I hope you remember one thing: technology is to serve the people."

"Okay?"

Without waiting for Li Xun's response, Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder and turned to help Han Rui install the water heater.

In less than an hour, all 10 water heaters were installed on the middle wall, connected to electricity and water.

After checking the water and electricity connections and connecting the testing equipment, Han Rui came to Lin Yi and Li Xun:
"Boss Lin, Boss Li, who will start it?"

"Mr. Li, this Starfish appliance belongs to him after all. This is the first time, so our Mr. Li has to come." Lin Yi took a half step back and handed the task of opening the switch to Li Xun.

Li Xun also wanted to retreat, but his retreat had been blocked by Lin Yi, and the workers next to him were still looking at him.

Gritting his teeth, he walked towards the switch not far away and gently turned on the power.

The water heater is powered on and a beeping sound is heard when it starts to start.

Under everyone's gaze, the indicator lights on the water heater control panel flashed. In the end, only the light next to the word "Off" and the water inlet indicator light were still on.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Han Rui called the tester over:

"Water heater No. 1 has started the insulation resistance test, water heater No. 2 has started the withstand voltage test, water heater No. 3 has started the leakage current test, and water heater No. 4 has started the ground resistance test."

"After the testing of these four water heaters is completed, the test content will be changed and the testing will continue."

"Water heater No. 5 and water heater No. 6 are undergoing internal tank pressure testing and anti-dry burn testing respectively."

"Change the test content after the test is completed."

"Numbers 7 and 8, record the water temperature before heating, conduct thermal efficiency tests and heating speed tests, and also conduct power saving tests."

"Number 9, number 10, simulated flow adaptability test, low water pressure test."

At the command, the workers assigned to the work began to test the content they were responsible for according to the work flow they had learned before.

After these people were busy, Li Xun and his group came to No. 7 and No. 8 at the same time. Three pairs of eyes were staring at the four electricity meters under the two water heaters.

Two electricity meters are connected to lines 7 and 8, and there are two more electricity meters connected to the two water heaters on the wall behind.

Same 60 liter water heater.

Original water heater with Starfish appliances.

The water heater valve was opened and cold water poured out from the pipe. Han Rui placed the thermometer on the valve mouth and let the cold water flush.

After leaving it alone for 5 minutes, he found the current temperature of the cold water in the water heater tank - 2 degrees Celsius.

After recording the data, he called another tester over, and the two of them pressed the temperature control knobs of the two water heaters at the same time, separated by a wall.

"Turn it to 70 degrees."
