Chapter 269 A new industry making steady progress
Yang Wendong asked again: "This transistor production line has been finalized in the past few days. When will it arrive in Hong Kong?"
Wang Zhiqun replied: "Transistor production line has been finalized in the past few days." It will take half a month to disassemble and package the production line, and it will take about a month to ship it back from the United States. It is estimated that it will arrive in Hong Kong in early May. After further debugging, small batch production can start in June;
However, this kind of precision production line needs to be transported with caution, so I want to borrow the Shun'an of Changxing Shipping.
When it returns from the United States, I will take this ship back. Including people from Fairchild Company, they also need to board the ship to supervise the equipment at all times, and the ship's speed also needs to be more stable. We can only rely on our own ship, otherwise we can only rent other cargo ships at high prices to help us drive more steadily. ”
"Okay, you go negotiate with Zheng Yuhua and adjust a ship based on your requirements." Yang Wendong agreed.
Moving precision equipment is a headache in any era. In the past life, there were containers that could be fixed, but they also required additional instructions from the shipping company. Even high-precision equipment could only be moved Ship separately.
The freighters of this era are even more chaotic, with tens of millions of goods mixed together. Even if there is a dedicated person responsible for arranging the location of the goods, the core purpose is to ensure that the goods can get on and off the ship quickly, not to ensure that the goods inside are complete It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that it is safe and sound, not to mention precision equipment. It may not be visible on the surface, but it may be damaged internally.
“Okay, this is much more convenient.” Wang Zhiqun said with a smile.
With various resources within the group, development is convenient. Changxing Industrial can provide supply chain support, and Changxing Shipping can provide transportation support. When the company has products in the future, within Hong Kong, Changxing Media will also Can be promoted.
"Then this matter is settled." Yang Wendong then asked: "How is the R&D center in the United States?"
Wang Zhiqun replied: "Lin Sheng has found us a person in Los Angeles. There is an office building of almost 30,000 square feet, and the location is close to Stanford University, which is suitable for recruiting talents;
However, the person in charge of the R&D center has not found a suitable person yet, and the headhunters in the United States are still looking for this person. Once it's in place, it will be quick to form a team later."
"Yes, OK," Yang Wendong nodded.
Wang Zhiqun added: "Yang Sheng, the team here in Hong Kong has been established. Now the electric mosquito swatter project has been approved, and Changxing Industrial is also developing molds based on the external structure we initially designed. ”
"It's pretty fast." Yang Wendong smiled and asked: "Has the voltage conversion been done?"
Wang Zhiqun said: "Yes, we directly convert the 5V battery through transformers, capacitors and transistors. The voltage is 1200V, and your hands will be electrocuted when you touch them, which is a bit painful;
We have tested some small flying insects and they can be electrocuted directly. The same should be true for mosquitoes in theory. "There are no mosquitoes in Hong Kong right now, so it's not easy to test them directly."
"Mosquitoes should be available by next month," Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "But we can't waste this time and put them alone." The circuit unit will be sent to the equatorial area of Southeast Asia with others, where there are many mosquitoes. It will only take a few days for testing."
"Okay, I will arrange for people to go there in the afternoon." Wang Zhiqun agreed.
Yang Wendong asked again: "What about the battery life? How long can it last when two batteries are converted into high voltage?"
Wang Zhiqun said: "The battery life is about 1 hour. This is the time in the standby state. If it is working Shooting mosquitoes will only make it faster."
"There is not enough time," Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "Can the best battery on the market only achieve this result?"
Wang Zhiqun replied: "Yes, I have tried several batteries from Japan and the United States. Basically, the time is about the same. There may be some uncommon high-capacity batteries, but the prices must be very expensive. If our products use this kind of battery, it is not as good as Send a few more batteries to customers, or just use rechargeable batteries. "Well, that's okay," Yang Wendong said, "The first product doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be sufficient." br>
Battery technology involves materials science. This era is definitely far inferior to previous generations, but it would be great to have rechargeable batteries.
Wang Zhiqun added: "Actually, the electric mosquito swatter is for normal household use in most cases. It is also aimed at mosquitoes that are occasionally found. In addition, we have a switch. Generally, the battery will not be used after a week. The problem is, this is enough."
"Okay, let's do this first," Yang Wendong said again: "The first important thing is the transistor, and the Japanese side has already fixed it. The tax on the export of body tubes has been increased. Hong Kong's radio industry has been greatly affected. We need to take over this market as soon as possible before going overseas;
The second one is the electric mosquito swatter, which needs to be made qualified as soon as possible. The product will be launched before the summer in the northern hemisphere. "
"Okay, the finished product of the electric mosquito swatter will be out next month," Wang Zhiqun replied confidently.
"Okay, then I'll wait to see your finished product." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
The electric mosquito swatter was very complicated for Yang Wendong, who was born in 1958, but with his own resources this year, it was too simple.
Thursday, March 22:
On this day, Yang Wendong had just arrived at Changxing Building. Tang Xingzhi, who was in charge of the Four Seasons Hotel business, and Zheng Zhijie, who was in charge of the real estate business, came together.
“Sit down.” After greeting Yang Wendong, he asked: “Has the final design plan for the Four Seasons Hotel been finalized?”
For a five-star hotel, the most important thing is the early design. If this is done well, everything will be smooth sailing later. If it is not done well, no matter how much money is spent in the next few decades, it may not be able to make up for some early problems.
Therefore, even if Yang Wendong wants to rush to build a hotel, on this issue, he must wait until multiple design companies provide plans before making a decision.
"Yes." Tang Xingzhi said: "A total of 5 international architectural firms submitted bids to us. Zheng Sheng and I finally discussed that Bei Jinming's design was the safest."
"Really, isn't it because he is Chinese?" Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Mutual help between compatriots is actually very common in Hong Kong society today, and it is the same among international Chinese groups;
Even Yang Wendong was optimistic about Bei Jinming when he was bidding for the Four Seasons Hotel in the early stages;
Of course, the reason why he was optimistic was not just because the other party was Chinese, but because he knew the history and knew that this future hotel was the only one in the United States. Chinese architectural academicians also have very high achievements in their lifetime.
"No, Bei Jinming's architectural design is also the best in terms of materials." Tang Xingzhi explained: "Yang Sheng, this document also contains the cost, space, and number of guest rooms for multiple plans. , future energy consumption and many important parameters, you can take a look."
"Well, okay, you guys take a break first." After Yang Wendong finished speaking, he also turned to the page about the comparison. A good architect definitely does not just design a building beautifully, but needs to comprehensively consider many aspects:
Such as safety, cost, energy consumption, area utilization, future convenience of use, etc.
As far as safety is concerned, this kind of large-scale building is definitely not safe just by stacking materials. If the structure is not done well, then everything is in vain.
On the basis of safety, how to use the least materials to build a building is also a test of ability. Too many materials will not only be costly, but will also put too much pressure on the ground. In many areas of land, it is not very The good thing is that this is a top priority.
The area utilization rate is also easy to understand. Energy consumption must take into account the operation in the next few decades. Especially when the entire building is air-conditioned in the summer, the cost of electricity is also very high. How to design it so that the entire building can save money? Electricity is also a very profound knowledge...
...
After looking at it for a while, comparing the data and drawings, Bei Jinming's design was indeed much better.
"Yang Sheng, several construction companies have also sent models, but they are not easy to move over. Please go to the conference room next to them and have a look." Tang Xingzhi said again.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Yang Wendong nodded.
Now it’s hard to choose Bei Jinming’s design, but in the end, it’s still the first sense to take a look at the real model.
Then everyone went to a conference room on the 3rd floor downstairs. Yang Wendong also saw different designs from several construction companies.
"This looks like the beautiful design by Bei Jinming." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
"I feel the same way." Tang Xingzhi nodded, then opened a photo album from the table and said: "In addition, we have also made a sample of the internal room according to Bei Jinming's design. Here are the pictures taken.”
“Let me take a look.” Yang Wendong took the photo album, looked at it for a while and said, “It’s not bad. Where is this scene?”
“A residential building that has just been developed in Admiralty. In the community." Zheng Zhijie said next to him.
Tang Xingzhi asked: "Yang Sheng, I have arranged a car, let's go and have a look together."
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded.
There is no shortage of time, it is always necessary to go and see it.
......
Half an hour later, Yang Wendong and others arrived at the Jinzhong Yufu Garden Community and visited the house type that simulated the interior design of the hotel.
I didn’t see anything bad, and finally Yang Wendong made a decision and said: “Then let’s give this bid to Bei Jinming, but we can discuss the price further.
Tell him that if the cooperation is good, you can cooperate with him on other projects in the future. ”
This is not a lie. In the future, Changxing Real Estate will definitely build various buildings or special buildings on a large scale in Hong Kong. This will also require the cooperation of architectural masters like Bei Jinming. Maybe it can save itself. Go to more than 10 percent of the construction fee.
“Okay, I will reach an agreement with Bei Jinming as soon as possible. "Tang Xingzhi was also overjoyed.
Only when the hotel is completed can he, a professional manager, work with peace of mind, otherwise there will always be a feeling of suspension.
Yang Wendong added: "The construction of the Four Seasons Hotel The fees mainly depend on East Asia and Hang Seng Bank, and you will need to contact them more later. ”
As the boss, he only needs to negotiate general terms with the two bosses of the bank. It is up to his subordinates to decide how to cooperate in the future and how to arrange funds.
Now that his three new industries are making steady progress, he feels much more at ease.
"Okay." Tang Xingzhi agreed.
"That's it for the Four Seasons Hotel." Yang Wendong said with satisfaction.
After making these decisions, the next step is to start construction of the building. Once it is completed, many of your business meetings can be held on your own site.
You don’t have to worry about leaking secrets.
At this moment, Zheng Zhijie on the side said: "Yang Sheng, speaking of banks, I have one thing to tell you. Yesterday I received a notice from HSBC that Sanders is about to take office as the chief executive of HSBC. "
"Oh, it's pretty fast." Yang Wendong smiled.
Although many people know about this, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, so the many rights are not enough.
Now that he has officially ascended the throne, it is considered a major event in Hong Kong’s banking industry and even Hong Kong as a whole.
Zheng Zhijie said: "HSBC is a large cooperative bank of our group, and Sanders is also a partner. I think we should visit him."
