Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 121 Orders Surge! (First Update!)

Lin Yi spoke in a tone that was both impassioned and righteous.

At that perfect moment, the female reporter showed an expression of admiration, then excitedly thrust the microphone forward again:

Have you considered other people's reactions?

“From the early days of reform and opening up to now, after so many years of competition, these unspoken rules have been able to continue to this day. Even if they are not appropriate, they must have some unique aspects.”

"By doing this, you are undoubtedly declaring war on those who have vested interests. Have you considered that they might launch an attack on you after they realize that their interests have been harmed?"

"Your declaration may be very inspiring, but your road ahead will inevitably be full of thorns and obstacles."

"Do you want to continue?"

As her voice gradually lowered, a sense of loneliness and regret slowly crept onto the female reporter's fair and jade-like face.

Seeing the female reporter's changing expressions, Lin Yi could only silently think to himself, "Professionals are awesome."

Just as the female reporter took a deep breath and abruptly looked up, Lin Yi stepped forward at the perfect moment, pointed to himself, and then pointed to his surroundings:

Do you remember what this place looked like 40 years ago?

The sudden question left the female reporter somewhat bewildered: What was it like 40 years ago?

She's in her early twenties, still a virgin, how could she possibly remember what this place looked like 40 years ago?
But soon, she understood the meaning behind Lin Yi's words.

He shook his head, then nodded: "I don't remember what this place looked like 40 years ago, because I was only in my twenties then."

"But I can piece together what it originally looked like from my grandparents' accounts."

The female reporter then turned around and pointed towards the residential area. The camera followed, focusing on the figure's back and watching as the person raised their hand.
"This way, there's a very dilapidated alley, full of low-rise tiled houses."

"This way, there is a field, a field crisscrossed by irrigation canals."

"Over the past 40 years, the people of Suzhou have gradually transformed this land into what it is today."

After saying this, the female reporter turned to look at Lin Yi, her bright eyes filled with admiration:
"So, do you want to use your own strength to slowly, little by little, change the current situation?"

"Yes!" Lin Yi raised his head, straightened his back, looked firmly into the camera, and answered with a resounding voice:

"This is indeed a difficult task, but there is a saying that everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you start, it will become easier later."

"Moreover, beautiful things are happening in the world every moment."

“My personal strength is insignificant, but it begins with me and will not end with me.”

"More and more people will join in, and as long as there is an opportunity, we can gradually make the world a better place."

"Moreover, I believe in the Party and the country, and I believe in the people!"

As he spoke, Lin Yi subtly took out a badge from his pocket and gently hung it on his left chest.

Party Member Badge.

The cameraman was very quick to react, immediately turning the camera to focus on the Party badge hanging on Lin Yi's chest.

The female reporter didn't continue asking questions. She silently put down the microphone and raised her hand to clap gently.

After standing in front of the camera for a while, Lin Yi decisively raised his hand and pointed into the residential area, saying softly:
"I shouldn't be the one enjoying the applause; it should be our workers who are enjoying it."

The female reporter stopped clapping and quickly followed up on Lin Yi's topic:

"Mr. Lin is right. One person's strength is small, but the strength of everyone is great."

"Mr. Lin deserves applause, and our workers deserve it even more."

"Let's go see our workers!"

The two men led the way, with the cameraman following closely behind. As soon as they entered the residential area, the cameraman, guided by Lin Yi, captured images of the installation workers operating at height.

The camera slowly focused, and Lin Yi walked to the cameraman's side and began to act as a narrator:
"These workers were our most beloved People's Liberation Army uncles just two months ago."

"This month, he will become our dearest worker brother."

"They took up guns to defend their homeland, and when they put down their guns, they picked up tools to build their country."

"With them around, I believe the future will definitely get better."

As his narration ended, the cameraman controlled the camera, slowly following the worker on the high place as he moved little by little.

The interview and filming continued until noon. After lunch, the reporter asked Lin Yi for his editing suggestions, then turned and left with the cameraman to prepare for the evening's news.

Zhou Tianming and Lin Yi went over the morning's work together to confirm that it was done well. Only then did Zhou Tianming leave to meet with the other groups.

Lin Yi, along with the remaining work orders and the 30 people behind him, continued working on the remaining work orders in a large group.

…………

At 7:35 p.m., Suzhou TV started broadcasting local news on time. After introducing some policies, the studio screen switched to the morning's interviews.

In the Grand Canal residential area, Chen Fen put down her chopsticks and had just called her son to the dining table when she caught a glimpse of the news playing on the television.

Below the TV, the huge Mijia logo and the large Xiaomi Heavy Industry logo immediately caught her attention.

On television, Lin Yi, dressed in work clothes and looking exceptionally neat and handsome, spoke eloquently and boldly about his vision for the future, making those who saw him unable to help but feel a sense of goodwill.

Chen Fen tapped the table with her hand and pointed at the television, saying:

“Honey, look, this young man looks like the owner of the exhibition I went to.”

"I feel like he's right!"

Zhou Yaohui looked up and saw that the person on TV was more handsome than him. He frowned slightly and was about to say something when the interview camera switched to the workers who were working while wearing safety ropes.

His main job is as a safety officer at the factory.

As the camera zoomed in, he could clearly see the safety ropes on the installation workers.

Full set of safety belts, 1 main and 1 secondary safety rope, and two sets of spare safety ropes.

Safety helmets are available.

There are reflective vests.

not bad.

Even if this person is putting on a show, he does a good job on camera.

I'll forgive this person for being more handsome than me for now.

He shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth before looking up at Chen Fen:
"So, are you sure you want to buy their home appliances?"

"Hmm!" Chen Fen nodded, pointing to the television screen as she added:

"Don't we earn money to make our lives better?"

"Let's buy them!"

Having received a response, Zhou Yaohui lowered his head and continued shoveling rice into his mouth. While eating, he said, "Then I'll take a day off tomorrow and go with you to choose."

"it is good!"

…………

In the Gree office in the industrial park, Wang Tian watched the images on the TV and listened to the righteous words spoken on the screen. He couldn't help but grab his water glass and smash it directly onto the TV.

"They're really fucking audacious. They think they can challenge everyone just because they've developed some amazing technology."

"They don't even know their own limitations."

"Saying something like that, you must have never died before." The water in the glass spilled out the moment it hit the TV, completely destroying the television.

The water collided with the circuit board, instantly flashing out a crazy burst of electric sparks.

In just two or three seconds, the television set started crackling and emitting blue smoke.

So Wang Tian's anger only lasted a few seconds before he frantically rushed to the socket and yanked the TV plug out.

He immediately took off his clothes and started banging on the flames coming from the television.

The flickering flames were extinguished, and his clothes were ruined.

He tossed the clothes with burn holes aside, grabbed his phone from the nearby desk, scrolled through it, found several regional distributor numbers, and casually dialed them:

"I've reserved a table at Wan Hua Lou, come over and have a chat."

"The usual place, Wan Hua Lou, I'll be waiting for you in the private room."

"Wan Hua Lou, the old private room."

After making those calls, Wang Tian took a new coat from his closet, put it on, tidied his hair, and then turned off the office lights and left.

He had to teach that arrogant brat a lesson.

Let him know why the flowers are so red.

Wang Tian got into his BMW in the parking lot, turned the steering wheel, and drove out of the parking lot and out of the industrial zone with a cheerful smile.

He didn't notice that as he left the factory, a pair of eyes were watching him from the darkness across the street.

Through the dim light, one could vaguely make out that it was a woman.

…………

"Give me two 1.5 horsepower air conditioners and a 32-inch LCD TV."

"Okay sir, please make the payment here and fill in your address."

"The money is here, just click it. You've filled in the address."

"Okay, bro, I need to verify your address now. Your address is in Shanghai...bro, in Shanghai..."

"Stop right there. The money has already been paid and the address has been filled in. If you don't deliver it to my door, I'll go to the TV station today and tear you down."

"No, brother! Please don't. Because our main service area is currently in Suzhou, we prioritize delivery to the Suzhou area. Delivery to neighboring cities will be delayed, and installation will also be delayed. If you can wait, I'll fill out this form for you."

"I can wait, just get it installed before the New Year."

"Okay, bro, I'll fill out your form right away. Come over here and have a drink of water."

After organizing the information and checking it several times to make sure there were no errors, Li Hua, the clerk, handed the receipt to the person in front of her.

After seeing the customer off, just as I was about to catch my breath, another wad of cash was handed to me:

"A water heater, 60 liters."

The bright red banknotes were dangling in front of him. If it had been a day earlier, Li Hua would have been very happy. As a sales clerk, he would have received a 20 yuan commission for each order he signed.

If you sign 10 contracts, that's 200 yuan.

The problem is, he has already signed a total of 57 orders since this morning.

These 57 orders started in the morning, one after another, as soon as one was delivered, the next one would arrive immediately.

Each order takes about 10 minutes, which means he has been on duty for a full 570 minutes without going to the toilet, eating, or drinking.

Painful?
pain.

are you happy?
happy.

But this feeling of pain and pleasure tormented him repeatedly, making him feel miserable.

wanna die.

In the monitoring room of the sports center, Li Xun and his group watched the footage in silence.

Before yesterday's interview, they had imagined that today would be a hit, but they did not expect it to be this popular.

One order after another brought them both joy and fear.

There are too many orders.

It far exceeded their production capacity.

They were originally a small factory, so their production capacity wasn't very good.

Even though capacity expansion was carried out in advance during the renovation, the problem is that skilled workers are hard to find, and capacity increase takes time.

Their original plan was to follow Lin Yi to gradually secure orders, then gradually increase production capacity, and finally become rich.

But to my surprise, yesterday's interview went so well, even better than the previous advertisements.

Or rather, their previous advertisements had already deeply resonated with people, and yesterday's interview was simply a reassurance to those who had been hesitant.

To give those who are hesitant the courage to buy their products.

As a result, orders exploded.

When there are no orders, a group of people beg and plead, even if it means losing money, to get some orders so that the factory can keep running.

As long as the factory can operate, it will survive one day.

But now, orders have exploded.

They dared not go out or speak, for fear that if they went out and said a word, others would catch them, shove them into the factory, onto the production line, and make them tighten screws.

After a long silence, Yu Jixuan weakly called out to Lin Yi, "President Lin, what should we do?"

Lin Yi, who was staring at the computer screen, suddenly heard a shout. He slowly turned around and looked at Yu Jixuan, who had called out to him, and said:

"That's not my problem. My rice cooker has enough capacity."

“If your production capacity is insufficient, then find a way to address it yourselves. Besides, I’ve already sent people to you.”

These words were ruthless and cold, making Yu Jixuan tremble.

He sighed helplessly, turned around, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the people around him:

"I'm going now, I'm going back to tighten the screws. Goodbye."

He strode away, and the remaining few people whose production capacity was severely lagging behind also clasped their hands in farewell.

Within minutes, Lin Yi was the only one left in the huge monitoring room.

After watching the surveillance footage for a while, Lin Yi packed up his things and got up, ready to go back. Just then, the door to the surveillance room was pushed open, and the sports center security guards who were out on patrol appeared at the door with a slightly overweight middle-aged woman.

The team leader pointed at the woman: "President Lin, this woman was wandering around outside, and when she saw our people, she said she wanted to see you, and that she had something that you were interested in."

This statement piqued Lin Yi's interest, and he looked the woman up and down, not missing a single detail.

After scrutinizing her, he was quite certain that he had never seen this woman before.

and so……

How could the other person possibly know my preferences?
Just then, the slightly plump middle-aged woman pointed to herself:
"My name is Xie Lin, and I am the head of the Public Relations Emergency Response and Information Team for the Suzhou region of Gree Electric Appliances."

"The people who were crying at the graves on the second day of your exhibition were arranged by me."
