With the successful development of a new high-precision transmission, the factory's order volume surged like a tide, the production line was running day and night, and the workers worked overtime, but Zhou Ziwen's brows were never fully relaxed.
He knew very well that this was just the starting point for the factory to reach the peak of the industry, and the road ahead was still long and there were more challenges.
Zhou Ziwen stood in front of the whiteboard of the R&D center, watching the team members sit around, everyone's faces with expectation and tension.
He picked up the marker pen, wrote down the big words "intelligent machinery" on the whiteboard, and then turned to look at everyone:
"Everyone, we have achieved good results, but the market will not stop. Next, we will explore intelligent machinery and automated production lines, which is the future development direction."
He paused and continued, "Intelligent machinery can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce labor costs and improve product stability and accuracy."
Xiao Li, a major in mechanical engineering, made the first speech: "Brother Zhou, I have studied some foreign intelligent machinery cases before, and most of them use advanced sensor technology and automated control systems. We can start from this aspect."
Xiao Zhang, a major in materials science, also added: "Yes, and intelligent machinery has higher requirements for materials. We can consider developing a new type of composite material that can withstand high-strength mechanical stresses and adapt to complex electronics." Environment.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Very good, Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang, you are responsible for the research and development of sensor technology and new materials respectively. Other colleagues are also taking action separately, and we strive to come up with a preliminary plan within three months."

At the same time, Zhou Chaoyang is leading the market research team to conduct research on the supply of raw materials in surrounding cities.
They stopped at the entrance of a small steel factory. Zhou Chaoyang frowned and looked at the piles of raw materials, but his heart was full of worries.
"Brother Chaoyang, I found that the price of steel has fluctuated greatly recently, and the supply has become increasingly unstable." said Xiao Wang, a member of the team.
Zhou Chaoyang nodded: "I have noticed it too. In recent months, the prices of raw materials have been rising, and the delivery time of suppliers has become increasingly unreliable. This has had a great impact on our factory."
He found Zhou Ziwen and discussed with him, "Brother Zhou, I found that there may be a problem with the supply of raw materials. Prices fluctuate greatly and the supply is unstable, so we have to find a way to solve it."
After hearing this, Zhou Ziwen was silent for a moment: "I understand, Chaoyang. Don't worry first, let's discuss it."
Zhou Ziwen sat in the conference room, opposite to him were representatives of several raw material suppliers.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit tense, and the suppliers obviously felt the tough attitude of the factory.
"Everyone, we have been working together for so long and have always been very happy."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile, "But the recent instability and price fluctuations in raw material supply have made us very worried. We hope you can ensure the stability of the supply and the rationality of the price."
The supplier representatives looked at each other, and one of them said, "Director Zhou, everyone knows that price fluctuations are inevitable. But we can try our best to ensure the stability of supply."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head: "Not enough. We need a long-term and stable supply agreement, and the prices must also fluctuate within a reasonable range. Otherwise, we can only consider other suppliers."
The suppliers realized Zhou Ziwen's determination and finally agreed to sign a long-term supply agreement to ensure a stable supply of raw materials.
Back at the office, Zhou Ziwen called Chen Qiaoyi.
She just came back from the finance department and held a thick financial statement in her hand.
"Qiaoyi, how are your financial situation recently?" Zhou Ziwen asked. Chen Qiaoyi nodded: "It's pretty good. The order for new transmissions has given us a lot of capital flow. However, the rise in raw material prices also puts some pressure on us."
Zhou Ziwen nodded: "I plan to increase my investment in the research and development of intelligent machinery, which requires a lot of funds. Do you think we can bear it?" Chen Qiaoyi thought seriously: "From the current financial situation Look, we can support it. However, we have to optimize the cost and reduce unnecessary expenses."
"Okay, that's it." Zhou Ziwen said, "Qiaoyi, you are responsible for formulating a detailed financial budget to ensure sufficient R&D funds. We cannot delay the progress of the project due to funding issues."
Zhou Ziwen was about to continue to discuss the details of the financial budget with Chen Qiaoyi. He raised his eyes inadvertently and found that Chen Qiaoyi's face was a little pale, and her originally rosy lips were a little dry at this moment, and a hint of fatigue was revealed in her eyes.
He felt nervous and asked with concern: "Qiaoyi, are you feeling uncomfortable? It depends on your bad face."
Chen Qiaoyi shook her head gently, and said with a strong spirit, "Maybe it's because she's busy with finances recently. She's a little tired. No big problem, don't worry."
But Zhou Ziwen doesn't think so. With his accumulated medical skills over the years, he always feels that things are not that simple.
He walked to Chen Qiaoyi, held her hand, and said, "Come on, I'll take your pulse."
Chen Qiaoyi couldn't resist him, so she had to stretch out her hand.
Zhou Ziwen focused on taking Chen Qiaoyi's pulse. After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then turned into surprise. He said excitedly: "Qiaoyi, you have it again! We are about to usher in a new life. ! ”
Chen Qiaoyi was stunned at first, then her eyes turned red, and she was surprised and happy: "Really? I thought I was just too tired..."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
I have to say that people in this era are in good health, and children can have it if they say they have it.
This is because Zhou Ziwen pays more attention to it. Otherwise, with their hard work, there will be a lot of children.
After a brief surprise, a hint of worry appeared on Chen Qiaoyi's face.
She looked at Zhou Ziwen and said with some concern: "Brother Ziwen, we are still in school now. Is this child a little bit awkward? You are so busy with work, I have to take care of the family and finances. Don't know what to do."
"Hi, what's the matter? There are still people in our school who come to class with their children on their backs!"
"Besides, the factory actually has nothing to be busy with. In the future, you can do it when you have time and rest at home if you don't have time."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head indifferently.
No matter how important a factory is, it is not as important as a daughter-in-law or child.
Besides, with his management experience, it is not difficult to manage a small factory.
Zhou Ziwen gently held Chen Qiaoyi's hand, and his tone was firm and gentle: "Qiaoyi, don't worry, this child is our blessing."
"I will adjust my work schedule to make sure you have enough time to rest and take care of yourself. Things can be taken slowly in the factory, and the health of my family is the most important thing."
Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen, and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes: "Brother Ziwen, I...I'm afraid of causing trouble for you. You have been very busy with work recently..."
Zhou Ziwen interrupted her and said with a smile: "Follower, how could you and your children be in trouble? You are my wife, and the children are our future. I will arrange everything, you just need to take care of your baby. ”(The end of this chapter)
