Xiao Sun and Pei Qian got out of the car together, and Tang Yishu followed timidly.
She didn't know why the senior brought her, but she didn't dare to ask more.
Zhang Yuan has already greeted him outside the warehouse.
This warehouse is not very big. Zhang Yuan also reported before that the total area of the warehouse is about 4,000 square meters, with only one floor, and the rent is 0.7 yuan/square meter/day.
After all, the monthly rent is more than 80,000 yuan.
Some large warehouses have an area of 10,000 to 20,000 square meters, and the rent is naturally much more expensive. However, the warehouses here mainly store various computer accessories, and now the 4,000 square meters cannot be used at all.
Headwind Logistics is currently only to solve the last mile problem, which is delivered by various other couriers to the Headwind Station, and then delivered to the customer's home by the Headwind Station.
Therefore, Headwind Station shares most of the warehousing functions, and Headwind Logistics currently does not have a particularly strong demand for warehousing.
However, there are also some goods that are temporarily stored in this warehouse for various reasons.
For the Moyu Internet Cafe and ROF installation business that Zhang Yuan is responsible for, it has a mutually beneficial relationship with Headwind Logistics. Headwind Logistics provides door-to-door delivery services to ROF, and the warehouse rented by ROF is used by Headwind Logistics, anyway.
I am a member of my own family, and the money I spend is not my own money, so I can talk easily.
Originally, the warehouses across Jingzhou were just burning money, which was a good help from Mr. Pei.
But now that ROF has turned a loss into a profit, the profits can not only offset the cost of these warehousing, but can also be used to continue to expand the scale, which makes Pei Qian feel very uncomfortable.
Originally, Zhang Yuan regarded this visit as an inspection visit by Mr. Pei and was a little nervous.
But Pei Qian had already said on the phone that it was just a casual look at it on a whim, and don't make a fuss about it.
Zhang Yuan knew that Mr. Pei was a very down-to-earth person and did not like his employees to engage in face-saving projects.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan just came over in advance and ordered his employees to tidy up a little to make the warehouse look tidier. He did not spend a lot of time doing any general cleaning.
He is very confident about the state of the warehouse.
Zhang Yuan led Mr. Pei and his party to the warehouse.
This is Pei Qian's first time coming to this warehouse, and his first impression is good.
Neat, clean and well lit.
Various computer accessories are stacked on the shelves in different sections, and the arrangement is a little chaotic, but it is still neat and orderly.
After all, they are mainly installed accessories, and the largest one is the main chassis, which does not take up much space.
"Mr. Pei, look, here are the shelves for our various accessories. Because our accessories are purchased in large quantities, special vehicles will deliver them regularly."
"After the accessories are delivered, there will be a dedicated person responsible for transporting them to the shelves."
"After that, we have an assembly line."
"It's purely artificial, relatively crude, and made President Pei laugh."
Zhang Yuan took Pei Qian around and introduced him.
It can be seen that he is also quite proud of the ROF installation business, after all, this is his old business.
The so-called assembly line is just a few very long workbenches.
There are crawlers on the workbench, and there are several people evenly distributed. Behind these people are various accessories, and in front of them are machines one by one.
Each person is responsible for a process, and each process takes roughly the same amount of time to complete.
Some relatively long processes, such as more complex cable management, require two people to be responsible for it, each person responsible for one machine.
There is a button in front of everyone. After completing their own process, they press the button. After everyone presses it, the track on the workbench will automatically move one space to the right.
In this way, everyone only needs to complete the process they are responsible for continuously. If they do it quickly, they can take a break. Compared with each person installing a computer, the efficiency should be said to be greatly improved.
From the first step of installing the CPU on the motherboard to the last step of installing the system and lighting it up, everyone is completing the work in an orderly manner.
Machines that have been tested and have no problems after being lit will be packed by dedicated personnel and prepared to be sent to various distribution points in Jingzhou City.
After the customer places the order, the boy from Headwind Logistics picks up the goods directly from the distribution point and delivers them to the customer's home.
Pei Qian felt even more in danger.
This Zhang Yuan is really good. You have played so many tricks on a simple installation business...
"very nice."
Pei Qian complimented a few words against his will, making Zhang Yuanxi smile, and then led Tang Yishu and Xiao Sun to wander in the warehouse.
After turning around, nothing happened.
Pei Qian was a little surprised and felt disappointed.
It stands to reason that in a place like a warehouse, there will always be some safety hazards.
For example, circuit problems, fire protection issues, safety issues, etc.
As Pei Qian walked around the warehouse, he was always on guard against a sudden fire, a sudden power outage in the warehouse, or something suddenly falling off a shelf.
However, after turning around, nothing happened!
I have to say, this is a bit unscientific, oh no, not metaphysical.
He observed carefully and found that there were indeed no safety hazards in the warehouse.
Because the warehouse is very large, the shelves are placed very loosely.
These shelves were purchased just a few months ago. Each one is very strong. They are filled with digital accessories. There is no possibility of them collapsing or falling.
In terms of power lines, they should be strictly in accordance with safety standards and relevant regulations on safe use of electricity. The power supply should be equipped with a branch circuit, the power switch should be installed outside the warehouse, and it should be inspected and maintained regularly.
In short, at this stage, it is difficult to find any safety hazards!
After completing a circle, Pei Qian felt very melancholy.
I've already moved Sister Tang here, but there's still nothing I can do?
Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, are you trying to defy heaven?
Pei Qian walked around in a circle and still found nothing, so he could only return to the computer assembly area of the warehouse and find a chair to sit down.
At this time, Pei Qian noticed that this production line was actually a specially customized lifting workbench, and there were chairs behind the guy in charge of assembly.
Every once in a while, the workbench will be raised or lowered. The guys responsible for assembly will stand for a while if they sit for a long time, and sit for a while if they are tired of standing. Their physical health issues are also fully taken into consideration.
Zhang Yuan's face was full of pride: "How about Mr. Pei? I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Pei Qian said melancholy: "Well, you did a good job..."
He didn't expect such a script before coming here, and Zhang Yuan's performance was simply impeccable.
Came here with the halo effect, but didn’t find any flaw?
This is simply unreasonable!
Tang Yishu was sitting next to her, and she instinctively felt a little cramped in this environment.
Someone next to me handed over a can of iced Coke and a bottle of warm green tea.
After all, it is in a warehouse and does not have as good conditions as an Internet cafe. Zhang Yuan specially prepared a convenience store refrigerator and a constant-temperature heating refrigerator so that everyone can have some drinks to relieve their fatigue when they are tired from work.
Pei Qian drank iced Coke and retreated in his heart.
As the saying goes, it's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen.
Looking at the current situation, God is probably going to kill me.
In this case, let him go. Even if I make money by installing rof, I can just think of other ways to spend it unexpectedly...
However, Pei Qian had just taken two sips of Coke when he heard a boy on the production line ahead say "Eh".
Pei Qian's eyes lit up, as if his hope was rekindled.
He clearly saw that the computer was not lit!
This means that there is something wrong with this computer and it cannot work properly!
These installation guys are all skilled workers, and the possibility of problems with their techniques is very slim, so the only explanation is that the accessories are faulty!
This guy was obviously very aware that a leader was inspecting it, so he didn't dare to say anything. He just silently handed the console to the guy in charge of quality inspection next to him to check which accessory had the problem.
The next computer on the assembly line soon came again, and the boy continued to test the next computer. This time, no problems were found, and he let out a sigh of relief.
But the guy on the assembly line in front of him found that the computer he had just installed had a blue screen.
The guy scratched his head in confusion and didn't say anything. He just handed the computer to the guy next to him who was responsible for maintenance.
Pei Qian drank Coke and pretended not to see it.
Zhang Yuan, who was sitting aside, felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
What's going on!
It's been fine all along, but why did Mr. Pei make such a fuss with me when he came to inspect?
These people are all skilled workers and have installed so many computers, so there must be no big problem with their techniques.
But it fails to light up and has a blue screen, which is obviously a hardware problem.
For example, a broken motherboard, broken CPU, broken hard drive, broken memory... will all cause computer failure.
These accessories do have a certain failure rate, but... there is no reason to catch up with two units in such a short period of time, right?
Pei Qian drank the Coke silently, with an imperceptible smile on his face.
He stood up and said: "The situation in the warehouse is good, keep working hard, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Zhang Yuanru was granted amnesty and hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Pei, you are welcome to come and check at any time!"
…
After sending Mr. Pei away, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Mr. Pei didn’t seem to notice!
If a problem happens to occur during Mr. Pei's inspection, and Mr. Pei discovers it, there will be no excuse.
If I were to explain to Mr. Pei that everything was fine before and it was only when you came that the problem arose, then Mr. Pei would not believe it!
Zhang Yuan hurriedly came to the assembly line and asked: "What's going on? Wasn't everything fine before?"
The guy in charge of maintenance looked confused: "I don't know, either? The hardware is faulty..."
Zhang Yuan was speechless: "Hurry up and check it. Return the items that can be returned, and send them for repair if you can't."
This batch of goods has just been replenished, and most of them have not passed the seven-day no-reason return period.
Although some accessories do not support seven-day no-reason returns, they are still covered by the warranty.
However, whether it is placing a new order after returning the product or sending it for repair, it will take time.
Logistics has to come and go, which is very time-consuming.
Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "Buy another batch of fragile hardware, such as power supplies, motherboards, mechanical hard drives, memory, etc. By the way, buy more memory."
Although memory is not an accessory with a particularly high failure rate, the problem is that ROF sells high-end customized hosts. Those high-end models that cost more than 10,000 yuan have basically full memory modules.
A computer only needs a CPU, a motherboard and a discrete graphics card, but it requires four memory sticks, so the probability of problems is obviously greater.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan felt that it was necessary to have a good lead time. The current price of memory modules was not high, so there was no harm in buying more.
