Chapter 136 Meeting
Today is the first public meeting between the military and Yufeng Capital. Both sides have made preparations in advance. Zhang Yuwan booked the meeting room at the hotel where they are staying. Firstly, it is inconvenient for them to enter the military area with their identities, and secondly, the PPT and meeting materials they prepared were ready in advance and did not need to be moved.
At that time, there were no laptops, and it was very inconvenient to move a computer and a projector around.
Time is short and the task is heavy, and our common goal is to set up the factory as soon as possible.
A group of military officers walking in the hotel gave the surrounding guests a very strong sense of shock and oppression. Each of them had an outstanding figure and walked through the crowd, and the crowd automatically separated to form a wide path.
"Commander Song, please come this way!" Cloe, wearing a well-fitting professional suit and high heels, walked in front of the group. Aron stood on Song Changzhou's right and led the crowd.
Zhang Yuwan was wearing a professional haute couture suit and high heels, bending over in front of the computer to debug the equipment.
As everyone filed into the conference room, Zhang Yuwan shook hands with Song Changzhou and the officers with grace and grace. "Welcome Commander Song, all the leaders, please take a seat!"
Several people who knew Zhang Yuwan among the crowd greeted her enthusiastically, "I should call you Ms. Zhang now! Long time no see!"
"You call me Xiao Zhang, which sounds familiar to me." Zhang Yuwan replied with a smile.
Zhang Yuwan invited the leaders to take their seats.
Everyone was amazed by the sophisticated computers and projection screens on the tables! Most of them had only seen pictures and had never seen a computer before, so they thought it was quite high-end. Using a computer for a meeting was quite interesting!
Looking at the projection screen, the pattern played on the screen and the computer were the same, which was very novel. There was a 3D animation of the device they were about to use rotating on the projection screen.
The person who presided over the meeting today was Cloe, with Aron as his assistant.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Cloe, and I'm the chairperson for today's meeting. This is the groundbreaking ceremony for the TV factory we're building in partnership with Yufeng Capital."
Both of them are native Hong Kong people. They speak in a fast pace and in Cantonese, interspersed with a lot of English words.
At this time, one of the officers raised his hand and said, "Miss, could you please speak slower? We can't quite understand you."
Someone nearby nodded and said, "Could you explain it all in Chinese? We don't understand English."
Cloe smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my Mandarin isn't very good. I'll speak slower."
But after Cloe spoke a few sentences, some people in the audience still didn't quite understand.
This is really a bit of a misunderstanding. Zhang Yuwan is with them every day and speaks fluent English, Chinese and Cantonese, so he overlooked this detail.
Zhang Yuwan held his forehead and whispered to Cloe, "Let me do it!"
Cloe shrugged and pulled up a chair to sit nearby.
Zhang Yuwan stood at the front desk, confident yet elegant. She smiled and said, "Excuse me, maybe I'm too familiar with Cloe, so I mistook her Hong Kong Cantonese for normal Mandarin. So, today, let me talk to you about a few issues you need to pay attention to before starting work: 1. Factory facilities, 2. Staff recruitment, and 3. Staff training and organizational structure."
"Let's talk about the factory first. Commander Song mentioned earlier that there's a military warehouse that can be used as a temporary factory. This is the standard for our factory."
"Our main goal is to get at least one production line up and ready for market as soon as possible. I expect the first batch of products to be on the market in three to six months."
This also takes into account whether the recruited people can adapt to the assembly line. They also need training and a process of becoming proficient.
Otherwise, it will take more than a month to produce.
Zhang Yuwan gestured to the big screen, and everyone saw an empty room in the 3D animation. Then, various equipment was added, and the assembly line began to move between the equipment, vividly displaying the areas and functions of the factory. Even the size of the factory was marked out, as well as logistics and distribution, etc.
Coupled with Zhang Yuwan's explanation, not only does it make people's eyes suddenly clear, but it also makes the subtle details clear.
And the structural sequence of the factory building construction is also shown.
"This is our standard for factory buildings. I know your warehouse is definitely not built like this, but I hope you can get as close as possible. Do you understand what I mean? Because we have calculated that this kind of construction has the lowest management costs and the highest work efficiency."
"I'd like to ask what the engineering department can achieve?" Zhang Yuwan asked Song Changzhou.
An officer said, "We have no problem here. The military district's warehouse construction standards are of very high quality. Your standards are fine, but the internal structure needs to be modified."
“How long will the fastest change take?”
"I'll try for five days!"
"It's taken too long. Our equipment will soon arrive in Jinlin. Can it go any faster?" Zhang Yuwan said after a moment of hesitation.
"Let's work in three shifts for three days!" The other party gave a specific date.
Zhang Yuwan finally nodded in satisfaction. Aron next to him was typing away on his computer, projecting the work schedule onto the big screen. A red grid on it indicated the renovation of the engineering department's warehouse, with a completion date of three days later.
The officers present looked at each other. They had never worked electronically before, but seeing how well the three of them worked together, at a fast pace, and looking at the big red progress chart on the wall, they all sat up straight.
This is much more efficient than their meetings, and many people are struggling to adapt and keep up with them.
Zhang Yuwan picked up a laser pen on the table and pressed it. A small red dot appeared. Wherever the red dot was, he would focus on explaining the areas in the chart that needed attention.
"Is everyone clear?" Seeing everyone nodding involuntarily, she didn't hesitate. "Next, we'll hire employees. One assembly line has 2200 employees. We'll go to the warehouse later to see how many lines we can start. I require at least people per line."
“How long will this take approximately?”
……
"Okay, that's all for today. Let's discuss it together! If there is no objection to this schedule, I will send it to you immediately. I hope everyone can complete it on time." Zhang Yuwan asked, looking at everyone.
Aron operated on the computer for a few seconds, and soon the small printer next to it started working, printing out the attendee sign-in sheet, meeting minutes and work progress sheet.
Cloe helped bind the meeting minutes and work schedules and distributed them to everyone.
"Mr. Zhang, your way of working is really amazing! It's as perfect as a work of art." One of the officers with obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't help but admire.
When I think about the current level of work in China, everyone takes notes with notebooks. Even if the factory requires a meeting, it will probably take an hour to speak, and it may not be so clear, and not everyone may understand.
Then compared with the advanced work in the United States, some people feel heavy in their hearts, wondering how many years it will take to catch up!
Cloe smiled and said in her slightly stiff Mandarin, "This meeting method is unique to President Zhang! In the United States, I'm afraid only the world's largest companies hold meetings this way and use computers, but she made the 3D animation herself."
"Mr. Zhang is really amazing. How did you come up with this idea?"
"I'm lazy, so I always think about how to be lazy so as to complete the work." Zhang Yuwan felt a little embarrassed by such commercial flattery. Decades later, a large number of PPTs, animations, online conferences, etc. have become very popular.
"I hope we can use such high-end equipment for work in the future. Can I see how this computer works?"
Zhang Yuwan smiled and nodded, "Okay, you can use it!"
A group of people gathered in front of the computer, looking at it curiously.
"Computers can greatly improve our office efficiency. Not only have we equipped the TV factory office with twelve computers, but we also plan to place one computer in each important cooperative unit." Aron explained while helping everyone operate.
Important cooperation unit!
Put a computer!
Everyone looked at Zhang Yuwan eagerly. Could they give him a computer as a gift? Computers were considered difficult to obtain, but they didn't expect them to give them away!
