Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 293, 250 times! I'm finally exhausted! (Second update!)
In Suzhou at the end of May, the most difficult time of day is not noon or afternoon, but the evening after the sun sets.

The moisture that was evaporated by the high temperature during the day begins to return at this moment.

It gives you the feeling of being in a slow-cooking steamer.

Uncomfortable!

Gao Hai was awakened by the sweltering air. He stared wide-eyed, tried hard to recall, and only then did his brain begin to function.

When she finally came to her senses, she found Lin Ze sitting right next to her, holding a bucket of instant noodles and eating them with great relish.

Further away were Liao Ping and others.

This group of people were also holding instant noodles and eating them.

Although they were eating, these people kept their eyes fixed on the testing platform. Even though there were dark circles under their eyes, they still kept their eyes on the testing platform and dared not look away.

Fully regaining his senses, Gao Hai blew a breath onto Lin Ze and asked:
"Have the test results been released yet?"

Lin Ze shook his head with a regretful expression and pushed a bucket of instant noodles that he had just prepared at his feet in front of Gao Hai: "It's not out yet! Eat something to tide you over, we still have to work out today!"

Spicy beef instant noodles, very fragrant.

It's the name on instant noodles, and it feels a little strange.

The horizontal stroke at the top of the character "师" seems... seems... seems a little crooked.

It doesn't look like Master Kong at all; it looks more like Kang Shuai Fu, no, it's more like Kang Shuai Bo!
Upon seeing the brand of the instant noodles, Gao Hai immediately exploded. He jumped up, pointed at the noodles, and roared at Lin Ze:

"What if Professor Liao and the others get sick from eating this kind of instant noodles of unknown origin?"

Before Lin Ze could speak, Liao Ping said, "It's okay! We often eat this when we work overtime, we're used to it!"

"And I had someone buy it for me, Representative Gao, you can eat it without worry!"

Hearing this, Gao Hai squatted down again, picked up the instant noodles on the ground, stuffed a mouthful into his mouth, nodded towards the testing table not far away, and asked:

How many times?

“184 times!” a young man next to Liao Ping replied, then flipped through the documents at hand:

"The arresting cable showed no obvious deformation, the hydraulic circuit was normal, and the relevant control components also showed no deformation!"

"Anyway, no problem!"

After answering the question, he put the documents aside and continued to eat his instant noodles with his head down.

Having received a response, Gao Hai raised his left hand, only then noticing that the hour hand of his watch had already fallen to 11 p.m.

In other words, they stayed up for 24 hours!

He quickly finished his instant noodles, then squatted down next to Liao Ping and asked in a low voice:
"Professor Liao, do you think this aircraft carrier arresting cable is working?"

"It's basically done!" Liao Ping put down the instant noodle cup, raised his hand, and skillfully wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"184 times is more than enough."

"And you said that the manufacturer said this thing costs 20 yuan each, which means that our cost for each use is 80 yuan."

"With such low usage costs, even if it's only used 100 times, it's still profitable!"

As soon as Liao Ping started speaking, Gao Hai took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote down each sentence Liao Ping said.

After writing down Liao Ping's last words, he touched the words with his fingertips and asked, "So, how many times do you think this arresting cable will last?"

"It needs to be at least 200 times!" Liao Ping calmly uttered a number and turned around.
"What you need to consider now is how to appease the company in Jinling and the research institute in Chang'an."

After speaking, Liao Ping turned his attention to the test bench in the distance.

After hearing what he said, Gao Hai, who was exhausted from staying up all night, finally remembered that just two days ago, he had encouraged the other party at the company in Jinling, telling them to focus on their research without worry.

No matter what happens, the navy will always be their strong support.

But now, the most unexpected situation has occurred!
For a moment, he didn't know how to face that company or cooperate with its research institute.

Hey!
After cursing, Gao Hai also turned his attention to the test bench, watching it run back and forth again and again.

The noise continued, and so did the testing.

As the sunlight streamed into the testing workshop once again, the 250th test came to an end.

The power was off, and the staff numbly picked up their notebooks, numbly walked to the test bench, and numbly collected data.

At that moment, a younger staff member suddenly noticed that the clamps responsible for holding the arresting cable had become slightly loose.

Upon seeing this loosening, he quickly put down his notebook, took out a magnifying glass from his chest, and examined the loosened area bit by bit.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the originally very tight restraint cable had loosened.

Several strands of metal wire inside showed obvious deformation.

Seeing this slight change, he jumped up excitedly, pointed at the spot, and shouted:
"There's obvious deformation here! Hurry, there's deformation here!"

Upon hearing this, the staff members nearby quickly put down their work, rushed over, and carefully examined the barrier rope in the direction the young man was pointing.

With the guidance of the young people, they also saw that slight change.

Then, hot tears slid down their cheeks:
"Finally, finally..."

Before he could finish speaking, the worker who had climbed onto the test bench to check the position of the arresting hook let out an even louder roar:

"There is very obvious deformation here!"

"Come over here and take a picture to remember this!"

His words immediately drew the attention of the people gathered around the clamp.

A group of people, seeing the obvious deformation on the barrier cable, let out a series of wailing and howling sounds.

"Heaven helps those who help themselves, this thing has finally broken!"

"Heavens above, earth below, I can finally go home!"

Liao Ping listened attentively to everything said at the control panel.

He calmly picked up the walkie-talkie and calmly issued his commands:
"Take photos, take photos of places with obvious traces, and record the data."

"Once the data is recorded and archived, everyone can go and rest!"

"Finish it quickly so you can get some rest!"

After giving the order, he also picked up a notebook and joined the data recording work.

Half an hour later, a group of people who couldn't stay still finished recording the data, archived the records, and locked them away.

After assigning someone to guard them, the group scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing back to their dormitory like the wind.

After the younger ones had all left, Liao Ping and Wang Chuan came up to Gao Hai, exchanged a glance, and Liao Ping spoke first:

"Representative Gao, the arresting cable you brought back has proven its strength through its quality."

"Now I want to tell you something else."

"So you said that the company can also process special alloys."

"I'm thinking, could we also have this company manufacture some of the special parts we need?"

Liao Ping's words made Gao Hai fall into deep thought.

Jiangnan Shipyard needs a lot of specialized parts, and normally these parts should be supplied by suppliers in the shipbuilding industry chain.

This approach ensures quality and guarantees that suppliers will fully understand the process. Because different industries are like different worlds.

There are people who dig wells and end up repairing chimneys.

But Liao Ping's words were like a needle, silently piercing Gao Hai's heart.

The requirements for aircraft carrier arresting cables are extremely high; no research institute would take on such a job without orders.

But Xiaomi Heavy Industry did it, and did it better than anyone else!

Excluding the hydraulic equipment and clamps, a single arresting cable costs 20 and can be used 250 times.

This is practically free!
Liao Ping's suggestion was absolutely brilliant.

If Xiaomi Heavy Industry were to manufacture those parts, they might be able to achieve a breakthrough.

This will only benefit China, and will not cause any harm.

Seeing that Gao Hai remained silent for a long time, Liao Ping couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then said in a low voice, "If it involves confidentiality, then forget it."

"Safety is the most important thing after all!"

“No!” Gao Hai shook his head first, then added:
"Professor Liao, your idea is excellent."

"And there's no need to worry about leaks, because Xiaomi Heavy Industry has an equipment cooperation agreement with the Navy!"

"They can take on those jobs."

"Our only concern is how we should face the research institutes and companies that were originally responsible for producing these parts after Xiaomi Heavy Industry snatched these businesses away."

Gao Hai's words reminded Liao Ping of something he had said not long ago.

He was joking with Gao Hai at the time, but little did he know that his joke would become a reality.

Right now, we only need to deal with one company in Jinling and one research institute in Chang'an. If Xiaomi Heavy Industry snatches the business away, then we'll have to deal with many more companies and research institutes.

Beside him, Gao Hai frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution. Seeing that Liao Ping was still beside him, he quickly waved his hand:
"Professor Liao, you should get some rest. I'll contact Yanjing and see what they have to say."

"Okay!" Liao Ping nodded emphatically, turned around, and walked towards the dormitory.

Gao Hai, who remained where he was, checked the time, took out his phone, and called his superior.

"Boss, I think some of our plans might need to be adjusted!"

…………

"What was that Japanese guy's name again?" Lin Yi stuffed half a fried dough stick into his mouth, thought for a long time, but couldn't remember what his manager at the company in Japan was called.

That guy sent Ji Shuangshuang a message yesterday, saying that he would be arriving in China today with a delegation to formally begin talks with Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

However, Xiaomi Heavy Industry did not receive any email from this company expressing its intention to negotiate.

Lin Yi had ample reason to suspect that this guy was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

Across from him, Ji Shuangshuang opened her blood-red mouth wide and, without smudging her lipstick, drank a bowl of soy milk.

He closed his gaping maw, wiped the traces from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, and said softly:
"Yoshigo Hidehiro took the flight yesterday afternoon. Judging by the time, he should have arrived around 3 a.m.

"According to the time he posted, the negotiations are supposed to start at 3 PM this afternoon, but it's only 9 AM now, it's still early!"

Knowing that it was still early, Lin Yi smiled and then lowered his head to continue eating.

Ji Shuangshuang watched for a while, then picked up her phone, got up, went to the balcony, and began to remotely control Yoshitsugu Hidehiro.

Suzhou Moonlight Waterside Hotel.

When the alarm clock rang at 9 a.m., Yoshihiro Yoshitaka woke up from his sleep, stood by the window, drank two large glasses of water, then got dressed and went downstairs to find something to eat.

I had just finished eating and drinking and returned to my room when my phone rang.

I took out my phone, only to find an email notification in my inbox.

Remembering what the boss he had never met had said, Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu dared not be negligent. He turned on his computer and logged into his email.

An email lay quietly in my inbox.

Download the email and open it.

Upon seeing that the email contained only simplified drawings and the unit price for OEM services, the Japanese professional manager breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This time, I brought people here to negotiate with Xiaomi Heavy Industry, hoping that Xiaomi Heavy Industry would manufacture a product for us.

But his generous boss didn't give him anything until he went downstairs for breakfast.

just now.

The blueprints are ready.

The unit price is also available.

This is a case of everything being ready except for the final push.

Now all he needs to do is go to Xiaomi Heavy Industry, find someone there, and lay out his conditions. The other party will then be able to make a decision on whether to outsource the manufacturing.

Having memorized the important information from the drawings and price list, Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu took a deep breath, closed his notebook, stuffed it into his briefcase, and then headed to the restroom to tidy himself up.

Ten minutes later, having styled himself neatly, Hidehiro Yoshitsugu went out and knocked on the two doors next door:
"It's time for us to go!"

With the sound, the door opened, and two men and two women walked out of their respective rooms.

The two men and two women exchanged glances, then followed closely behind Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu.

Yoshihiro Yoshitaka, along with the four temporarily assembled team members, took a taxi and headed towards Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

After registering at the entrance, the group was led by Han Shun to the conference room on the 7th floor.

In the conference room, Lin Yi sat casually in the main seat. Seeing the people who entered, he began introducing himself in fluent Japanese:
"My name is Lin Yi, the boss of Xiaomi Heavy Industry."

"Here, my word is law!"

"We undertake various businesses, including but not limited to the processing of special metal parts, design and construction of communication base stations, architectural design, and electronic product manufacturing."

"I wonder what business you gentlemen have come here for today?"

After asking the question, he looked innocently at Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu and the others, as if trying to get the answer from their faces.

Across from him, after hearing his self-introduction, Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu quickly bowed:

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

He bent over, and the four people behind him, not wanting to remain standing, followed suit.

After greeting everyone, Yoshihiro Yoshitsugu naturally walked over and sat down opposite Lin Yi, and then naturally invited the four people he had brought with him to sit down as well.

After settling everyone in, he turned on the computer, found the blueprints and documents on it, and then said softly:
"Mr. Lin, we've come here today to ask you to manufacture a product for us."

"I have some relevant drawings on my computer."

"Of course, these drawings are not important. You are free to look at them and take notes as you please."

As he spoke, the laptop, which had been used for who knows how many years, was pushed in front of Lin Yi.

Looking at the familiar blueprints, Lin Yi wanted to complain, but had nowhere to vent.

He's the one who did all of this!
