About an hour and a half later, the "veteran" finally met the legendary big boss, oh no, it was a big customer. At this time, the "veteran" was already on fire. It was said that the devil over there arrived early.
It was an impromptu idea in the middle of the night, and I had to wait for an hour and a half. I imagined that he was a very pompous person. But it was a little unexpected. On the luxury yacht that sailed into the pier, only two people got off, and one was disabled.
...and was pushed down in a wheelchair.
There were a man and a woman. The man was in a wheelchair and seemed younger, but his exact age was hard to tell. The woman looked like a white-bones secretary, with a businesslike and aloof air.
But in the eyes of the "veterans", this woman is the kind of prude and coquettish person who intentionally or unintentionally keeps a close distance from the man in the wheelchair, as if she is afraid that others will not know.
Okudaira Yoshizo no longer had the cold look he had in the factory, and the lines on his ugly face became softer. He led the factory management and came forward to greet him.
The "veteran" followed the greeting team at the end with a straight face, listening to the people's greetings.
The man in the wheelchair didn't say much. He only said that his surname was Mo, and the female secretary named Yin mainly spoke. From their origins, it seemed that they were also important figures in a certain religious group, but they were not from Sakagawa forces, but from across the ocean.
Ticheng. This time I came to Ticheng, mainly to make some investments.
The words sound quite reliable. After all, we are on the Pacific Ocean. The processing of aquatic abnormal raw materials and semi-processed products on both sides compete and complement each other, and they are quite popular in the market.
The Castle Consortium mentioned by Secretary Yin has some brands under it that even relatively closed-minded old guys like "veterans" have heard of. They are very powerful high-end sports brands, which are consistent with the main product lines of the processing factory.
The "veteran" had to admit that if it were a different time and a different situation, he would be very moved. But now, the approaching signals from the secret waterway in the old city made him upset.
The speed over there is getting slower and slower, stumbling, and taking much longer than expected. Is there something wrong?
If the "veteran" was free now, he would definitely rush into Beishan Lake and conduct a careful investigation or provide support. How could he be like now, wasting time with these capitalists!
Especially when I heard Yōzo Okudaira's suggestion to find a place to have a drink first, the "veteran"'s lungs almost exploded.
At this time, the wheelchair-bound man in front of him who just said "Uh-huh" said:
"We are coming here tonight just to have a correct impression of the investment target. I hope that the equipment and technical personnel in the factory are in a better condition. It is relatively late now. We will go directly to the factory to discuss on site."
The other party's expression was a little vague, but his will was very determined. Of course, Okudaira Yoshizo would not refuse.
fine!
Among the crowd, the "veterans" felt a little less angry.
The greeting convoy on the pier quickly turned around and headed back in a mighty manner. The "veteran" and the big customer were not in the same car, and they didn't know how they communicated with Okudaira Yoshizo. They could only tighten their arms and force themselves to believe
, that wheelchair man keeps his word.
Things seem to be slowly getting better from being bad.
Pingmao Market is not the central CBD, and the nightlife is not that rich. At ten o'clock in the evening, the trading center and most of the shops have been closed. The location of the Daze Processing Factory is also relatively remote. The journey was smooth and we returned in about ten minutes.
Go to the factory.
The two parties must have communicated again in the car. After getting off the car, Okuhira Yongzo waved away the irrelevant people and allowed only the production and financial supervisors and the "veteran" senior technician to follow. The group went straight into the factory area and walked along the road.
Detour along the visiting passage.
The production supervisor probably remembered what the man in the wheelchair said. During the introduction, he specifically said: "The production lines in the factory are all reliable equipment that has been proven for many years. We have also been doing orderly updates, and the condition is very good. From the raw materials
Everything from processing to rough processing has been automated... There are many types of distortion materials, such as aggregates, wood, fur, including flesh and blood. It is difficult to subdivide and coordinate major categories and small categories. There are not many similar processing plants that can do what we do.
See."
Idiot, that means the equipment is aging and they specialize in low-end products!
The "veteran" complained. This production supervisor is an old man from the Daze Cult. His level is really average. Usually, he can be ignored by them. The advantage is that it is relatively peaceful. As long as nothing happens on the production line and there is profit every year, he will be happy to be a part of it.
Peace officer. But now he shows his timidity on the spot, which also makes people feel disgraceful.
The man in the wheelchair obviously didn't care about the sales promotion of the production supervisor. He leaned back in his chair and did not look towards the visiting window: "I want to know more about the practical ability of the workers. In this field, the human factor is often more important than the equipment."
more important."
"We are also very good at the practical level of our workers..."
The production supervisor encountered a weak point and was already timid. As he spoke, he stepped back and winked at the "veteran", who just pretended not to see it.
Compared with the production supervisor who is eager to make business, Okuhira Yoshizo is much calmer. According to President Matsudaira's request, not only the processing plant must be dealt with during this period, but also the people of Ezuka and others must be considered.
The "employee joint purchase plan" has complex relationships, and there is no need to rush.
But it was precisely because of the issue of "employee stock ownership" that in order to make future arrangements more natural, he hoped that the key figure of "veteran" could show his face in front of investors and leave an impression. Therefore, he also asked
The "veteran" signaled for this awkward old guy to push up.
The "veteran" was so determined tonight that he still pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Okhira Yoshizo frowned.
At this time, Secretary Yin projected a virtual workspace, and a series of data charts were displayed on it. She flicked it a few times and said: "From what I know so far, you have been carrying out customization business, but the performance is not outstanding.
With all due respect, in the homeless exchange and the outside world, this is a very important standard. Whether there is unique technology or a well-known craftsman in the industry, the difference is very big."
"Technology and talent require a more detailed inspection." Okuhira Yoshizo finally said, "Let's invite Mr. Mo to visit the assembly workshop, which uses the most labor and is also a core link."
The man in the wheelchair asked casually: "Are there any ongoing projects?"
This time it was Okuhira Yoshizo's turn to say nothing, and turned to look at the "veteran", focusing the fire with the attention of others.
The "veteran's" eyelids twitched, but finally succeeded, and responded in a hoarse voice: "It's just the routine orders, underwater thrusters, deep diving equipment, etc..."
"Deep diving suit?"
The man in the wheelchair clucked his tongue and agreed to Yuzo Okudaira's suggestion. It took them five minutes to transfer to the assembly workshop.
As Okudaira Yoshizo said, the number of workers in the assembly workshop seems to be more than the previous workshops combined. Also because of the large number of people, even though everyone is in work clothes and few people talk when going back and forth, there is still a
The atmosphere is completely different from that of the cold machine production line, and you can feel it through the visiting window.
"Veteran" likes this kind of atmosphere best, it makes him feel like he is back in the wilderness, in a dilapidated cave dwelling, assembling rough but life-saving equipment with the old guys.
The young men in the workshop were in small groups, shouting chants and counting in a low voice, and the habit of synchronizing the rhythm was undoubtedly taught by him.
Old-fashioned, rough, but exciting!
The "veteran" unconsciously raised his chest, like a lion patrolling his own territory, arrogant.
At this moment, Secretary Yin flipped through the information again and said, "The ratio of workers employed in the factory to wilderness nomads and reformed people is quite high."
Hey city folk!
The "veteran" curled his lips. He had seen this kind of thing too many times and he didn't even bother to get angry now.
On the other hand, Okuhira Yoshizo replied calmly: "Here, they are the main force."
"That's right, after all, it is the world's largest colony of modified humans, and it is also a semi-public experimental base for aberration-infected people... We have no discrimination against this, and we cannot avoid this kind of thing when investing in the flat trade market, but the relevant labor insurance
Measures must be carefully considered and are also for the benefit of workers."
A bunch of black-hearted capitalists!
"Veteran" hated this hypocritical tone the most, so he simply walked away. At this time, another voice came into his ears:
"Is this the 'deep-diving suit' that Master Shou said?"
It seems that the curiosity of the man in the wheelchair has continued to this day. When communicating alone, he is quite polite, but he looks like a junior, with a low posture.
The "veteran" twitched his lips and smiled.
The man in the wheelchair straightened up and looked through the visiting window to watch the workers' operations.
"Deep Diving Equipment" is a mid-range diving equipment that uses steel, plastic, fabric and other mass-produced parts and materials, but they are all in a auxiliary position. The key is to use special materials from aquatic abnormalities as the central axis.
, make a good match.
The accessories are all assembly line products, but the main materials have to take into account the particularity of the material properties and achieve balance. Each set has slight differences, so it can only be done manually.
The "veteran" could tell that the man in the wheelchair was observing very carefully and was very methodical. He stared at a group of people from beginning to end to understand the assembly process, and then based on the main materials, he found a group with the closest properties.
, and then watch the whole process...
The same thing happened again and again. After seven or eight minutes, the man in the wheelchair spoke again and sighed: "It has a very unique sense of design and a perfect combination of practicality and refinement. Is this the 'wilderness style'?"
"Where is this?"
"Old hands" are immune to such superficial admiration.
"The shaping strip on the back has a high wear rate?"
"Hey, expert!"
Just by relying on the man in the wheelchair's grasp of the properties of the main ingredients, the "veteran" knew that this man had great vision. But he didn't expect that he also had a knack for design.
"It's inevitable when it comes to force-generating movements. But it also depends on how to use it. It's definitely fine if you adjust it slowly and adjust it, but young people nowadays are so anxious."
"Yes, it needs to be run-in in advance. But we can do more work on refining the characteristics and warming them up beforehand. There may be room for changes in the formula technology for the extraction of the relevant characteristics. Can you let me know about it?"
The "veteran" looked solemn, and after thinking for a while he said: "The formula and craftsmanship are our bread and butter. But if technology is allowed to become a shareholder, everything can be easily discussed..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the veteran wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
There are so many details!
The man in the wheelchair was noncommittal: "I probably understand... Let's stop here tonight."
