This was the first time he met a customer who came to do maintenance and even gave him something.
Usually, when he received the product users, the most polite would say a few words of thanks and then urge him to hurry up.
Of course, Huang Chen couldn't accept it, but the other party was obviously an old fox. While forcing it, he also mentioned the friendship between the company's President Xu and Huang Chen's supervisor, Zheng Songli.
He also threatened that if he didn't accept it, they wouldn't do maintenance here and guarantee that the convoy would turn around and leave.
Huang Chen's face flushed red and he could only accept it like a thief.
He was going to take the cigarette to the supervisor and let him handle it.
While the convoy drove into the maintenance workshop, Huang Chen secretly looked at the card in the envelope — a 2,000 yuan shopping card.
Good lord, it was enough for him and his grandfather's food expenses for at least three months.
The maintenance of the Thunderbolt car could be said to be simple, but it could also be said to be complicated.
The simplicity was determined by the unique structure of the electric car. The electric car didn't have the engine and transmission system of a traditional car. The Thunderbolt car only needed to be maintained by the usual liquid level check, gear oil change, circuit check, battery data check, and so on.
The complexity was also determined by the structure.
The Thunderbolt car was a pure electric car made by the Monster Industries' cutting-edge technology.
It was composed of eight standard plasma batteries as the energy core and two rare earth permanent magnet synchronous motors to provide driving power for the four tires.
Other than the Monster Industries, no other maintenance factory could do maintenance work on the plasma batteries.
At this time, there were three Thunderbolt car in the maintenance workshop. These cars had all been in a car accident and couldn't be repaired at the service station, so they could only be sent here for maintenance.
It was funny.
The Thunderbolt car was equipped with an automatic driving function, including automatic obstacle avoidance, emergency braking, and other safety features. It had already reduced the car accident rate to the lowest among the car brands.
However, this still couldn't stop all kinds of car accidents. Some were fiercely rear-ended while waiting at the traffic lights, and some were hit while parked on the side of the road.
There were also drivers who didn't believe in evil and pursued the pure joy of driving. They took the initiative to turn off the safety assistance function and then had a car accident.
Anyway, the cars that were sent to Huang Chen were all serious problems.
Originally, the cars sent here had to be in a queue. Now that the supervisor had said something, Huang Chen could only bite the bullet and cut the line for these six cars.
There were a total of three employees in the maintenance workshop. Two of them were interns without official work cards and one was a technician with a work card.
Huang Chen was able to command the two interns because he was a colleague of the technician.
However, Huang Chen had the authority to sign, so he was considered the person in charge of the maintenance workshop.
He explained to the three of them that this was recommended by the supervisor and that they needed to deal with it urgently. The three of them didn't say anything and just rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
If you don't check, you won't know.
These six Thunderbolt car were only two years old, but the odometer had already reached more than 300,000 kilometers, which was comparable to the annual mileage of the taxis on the streets.
The Thunderbolt car was indeed made by Monster Industries. Huang Chen and the staff in the workshop inspected it. Other than changing the gear oil and air filter, there were no other problems.
Even the state of the plasma batteries was unexpectedly good. After reading the information of the battery chips, Huang Chen found that the power of the batteries of the six cars was only reduced by 40%.
In other words, these six cars had a driving range of 1500 kilometers when they first came out of the factory. Now, they could at least have a driving range of 900 kilometers.
Thunderbolt car's endurance was never in vain.
Of course, this range was definitely under the condition that the air conditioner was not turned on. With the air conditioner on, it could still reach 450 kilometers, which was still better than the brand-new pure electric cars on the market that used other batteries.
But now, the problem happened to be the plasma batteries.
The lead driver smiled and said to Huang Chen, "Look, these six cars should be replaced with second-generation plasma batteries."
The supervisor had also said so in the morning.
Now that the lead driver said so, Huang Chen was of course willing to change.
But the driver said that his boss and your supervisor were friends, and that he had already told him that the batteries of these Thunderbolt car could be replaced through the faulty channel.
The second-generation plasma batteries were only released by Monster Industries last year. In addition to increasing the driving range, the number of cycles of charging also increased greatly.
The Thunderbolt with the second-generation plasma batteries could achieve the same battery life. Under normal circumstances, the batteries could be used with the car for life.
Private car owners who used the first-generation batteries didn't care much about changing the second-generation batteries. The first-generation batteries were enough.
The lead driver said to change the second-generation batteries. Under normal circumstances, the first-generation batteries could be replaced with the second-generation batteries, and the recovery price could be given based on the first-generation batteries' usage.
The better the battery's condition, the higher the recovery price.
The six Thunderbolts in front of him could circle the earth almost ten times with the odometer. How could the recovery price be high?
Huang Chen wanted to play dumb. "What … faulty channel?"
"It's just some malfunction problems. Brother Huang, you just have to sign on the list." The lead driver obviously knew the process. "Brother Huang, look, our cars have run hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and there are some malfunctions in the battery circuit. Isn't it normal?"
Monster Industries provided a lifetime battery warranty service for the plasma batteries. No matter how magical the plasma batteries were, they couldn't withstand the strange torment of these car owners in life.
For example, Huang Chen knew that many car owners liked to buy third-party adapters, and then use the plasma batteries as an oversized mobile power source when they went camping.
Some also liked to go to car beauty shops and modify the Thunderbolt car's lights, sound, on-board equipment, and so on, which involved circuit modification.
There were also some strange car accidents caused by.
These would cause changes in the working state of the plasma batteries, but once they arrived at the after-sales maintenance station, these car owners all became model drivers who could go to the driving school examination hall.
What, changing the car, not using it according to the manual?
That's impossible. How can we do (admit) this kind of thing that doesn't meet the standards?
Ah ~
Why do you think the lights changed?
I crashed it and went to repair it. The repair shop replaced it for me. I clearly specified that I wanted the original parts. It must be the repair shop that cheated me with the goods of the auxiliary factory.
Pulling back and forth, there was no way to explain.
Therefore, in the actual after-sales maintenance, it was usually the engineer in charge of maintenance who made his own judgment based on the battery's working data.
Huang Chen had the right to decide. He could move his head and make up a few glitches on the list to make the recycling price of these first-generation batteries higher.
Huang Chen was in a dilemma for a while. According to the voice of the supervisor in the morning, he should make up a few more glitches.
This could help Ruida save at least twenty to thirty thousand replacement costs.
Six cars were twenty to thirty thousand, and there were more than fifty cars lined up behind, which added up to two to three hundred thousand.
Was it difficult to make up such a glitch?
It wasn't difficult. None of the Thunderbolt car in the hands of users could guarantee perfect use. Everyone more or less had some irregularities, and the glitches were strange.
It wasn't difficult, but if he dared to do this on ordinary days, it would be easy to be detected because of the concentration of numbers.
Then the superiors in charge of the audit work would report the matter to the supervisor and let him know.
Now that the supervisor had spoken directly, there was a high probability that he could land safely.
But this kind of behavior went against his work spirit.
Huang Chen knew that this kind of behavior that harmed the company's interests for personal gain was not something that could be stopped by any company.
The company's rules and regulations often only had strong restrictions on the bottom level.
The higher the level, the weaker the restrictions.
Huang Chen had joined Monster Industries with ideals and ambition.
He didn't expect that the seemingly serious and responsible supervisor would be such a person.
Shaking his head, Huang Chen walked into his office.
Although he had his own work spirit, he couldn't go against the will of the supervisor.
What were the consequences of going against the supervisor?
At worst, he might be fired.
The best possibility was …
The best possibility was that Huang Chen didn't dare to gamble. He could only follow the supervisor's instructions and make up some glitches on these replacement receipts to make the recycling price of these batteries higher.
Huang Chen decided to go back at night and think carefully before making a decision.
But when Huang Chen took these receipts and handed them to the lead driver for him to sign for confirmation.
After the lead driver looked at the receipts, not only did he not look satisfied, but he looked at Huang Chen with surprise.
"Brother Huang, the receipt is wrong."
"Wrong …?" This time, it was Huang Chen's turn to be surprised. These glitches were carefully summarized by him based on his work experience. He couldn't find any problems, so how could it be wrong?
"The glitch is wrong."
The lead driver looked at the other employees who were doing maintenance on the cars in the distance and said in a low voice, "Brother Huang, these batteries have been running for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and we don't take care of them at all. We often run until there is no power left before we charge them. The overdischarge is serious."
"So the glitch is too light."
"Forget about this batch of batteries. We'll replace the second-generation plasma batteries at the original price."
Huang Chen:???
