After Chen Hansheng returned from Xian Ning University, he looked at the time and estimated that the morning classes were about to end.
If he went to the classroom at this time, it would be equivalent to loitering in front of the teacher after class. It would be a direct provocation. He turned the steering wheel and went straight to the New Era Electronics Factory.
The executives in the factory knew that Chen Hansheng was coming over, so they all followed Zheng Guanjin's instructions and politely asked someone to send over this week's report.
The most important thing was naturally the MP3 project. Chen Hansheng compared the sales for this week to the MP3 project. It was much better than the first two weeks.
"This result probably meets the expectations of the other people in the factory, but Zheng Guanjin's goal is definitely higher."
Chen Hansheng felt that it was a pity that the MP3 product was launched too hastily. If they had one more month to prepare, the results would definitely be better.
He thought for a while and drafted an email to Zheng Guanjin.
"This week's sales are okay. We can almost break even. Director Lin and the others are quite satisfied. What do you think?"
After the email was sent, Chen Hansheng leaned back in his chair and tapped his index finger unconsciously. He waited for Zheng Guanjin's next instructions.
Not long after, Zheng Guanjin, who had always been a homebody in Hong Kong, replied.
Zheng Guanjin: The trend looks good, but it's a bit different from my expectations.
Chen Hansheng: Don't worry. When you come back for Chinese New Year, you can preside over the second round of production research and development. At that time, you can add some innovative ideas. It will definitely be a hit in the market.
Zheng Guanjin: I have some problems on my side. The first and second family are fighting for the family property. I can't set a time and the market won't wait for us.
Chen Hansheng: Then calm down. There's no point in being anxious.
Zheng Guanjin didn't reply for a long time. Chen Hansheng thought that she had left the computer, so he drank his coffee and casually browsed the web to read the news. He waited for lunch at the factory cafeteria.
But when it was almost time, a new message popped up in his Yahoo mailbox.
Zheng Guanjin: If you were to preside over the second round of production research and development, what would you do?
Chen Hansheng smiled and replied to the message with a "Pa Pa Pa" sound.
Chen Hansheng: I can't do it.
Zheng Guanyi: "I'm just asking. It's a way of thinking."
Chen Hansheng: "If I'm in charge of production, I'll first improve based on the feedback from the market. Then, I'll add more styles and colors. Finally, I'll clean up the after-sales department. No after-sales products can survive for long."
Zheng Guanyi: "My thoughts are actually similar to yours.
Chen Hansheng: "These are all common opinions. Anyone who has learned a little about management can think of them. My grades in school are quite good, so the difficulty is not thinking, but how to implement them."
Zheng Guanyi: "It's hard for the management to be united."
Chen Hansheng: "It's inevitable. The twenty to thirty managers all have different personalities. They're also very old and experienced. Except for you, they're probably not convinced by anyone else."
Zheng Guanyi: "Have you met Li Xiaokai, who I mentioned before?"
Chen Hansheng: "That chief engineer of the MP3 project? I've met him a few times, but he has a PhD from Caltech. I'm from a second-tier university in China, so we don't have much in common. He doesn't seem to be sensitive to the factions in the factory.
Zheng Guanyi: "Got it. Go have lunch. The cafeteria made braised chicken wings today."
Chen Hansheng was about to type a "Okay, good afternoon," when he suddenly remembered that Zheng Guanyi knew what the factory cafeteria was cooking even though she was far away in Hong Kong. This meant that she was very clear about what was going on in New Era.
"Damn, is there a camera in this room?"
Chen Hansheng looked up and stared at the corner of the room. "If I do a striptease behind closed doors, I wonder if Zheng Guanyi will see me."
Of course, Chen Hansheng didn't do it in the end. It wasn't because he was shy, but because he lacked a pole.
However, Zheng Guanyi's words also seemed to convey a message. It probably meant that she still had control over the factory. Chen Hansheng rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. During lunch, he decisively sat next to Li Xiaokai.
"Brother Kai, let's eat."
Chen Hansheng smiled and greeted him with a tray. He didn't treat him as an outsider at all.
Li Xiaokai was in his thirties. He wore black-rimmed glasses and a slim-fit suit. He was probably the youngest manager in the factory. His clothes were also more fashionable, unlike the current orthodox management personnel.
The factory director, Lin Zhaohui, and the others were dressed more seriously. They wore neat ties and spoke and did things in a methodical manner.
"Hello, Consultant Chen."
Li Xiaokai responded politely and lowered his head to continue eating.
"Not good. The weather is so cold. I don't even have a chance to travel."
Chen Hansheng smiled and asked, "Brother Kai, you've been in China for so long. Have you explored the great rivers and mountains of China?"
"No chance. I've been too busy with work."
Li Xiaokai sighed. "I haven't even been to many scenic spots in Jianye City."
Chen Hansheng encouraged him. "Then you have to go there. At this time, the Xixia Maple Leaves are particularly beautiful. The Jiming Temple is also nice. Although Meihua Mountain is relatively remote, it will bloom in December. If you go there when it snows, it will be even more charming."
Chen Hansheng didn't mention the familiar places such as Confucius Temple, Qinhuai River, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and so on. He specifically chose some scenic spots that ordinary people were not familiar with but were a little famous.
Jianye was the ancient capital of the six dynasties. It used to be the political and cultural center of Jiangnan. Many cultural landscapes were hidden in it. Although Li Xiaokai grew up in the United States, he was Chinese after all. He still had a unique feeling for these scenic spots and historical sites.
The two of them didn't have much contact before, but Chen Hansheng found the right topic to talk about. Li Xiaokai listened very carefully.
As for Chen Hansheng, if you asked him to do scientific research, it would be absolutely impossible. However, when it came to eating, drinking, and playing, Chen Hansheng had a lot of social experience.
They talked in full swing. The other forces in the management looked on coldly.
"Why is Chen Hansheng with that American?"
"They are probably relatively young. Chen Hansheng is a college student, and Li Xiaokai is only in his thirties this year. They may have common topics."
"Li Xiaokai's skills are not bad, and his views are also very advanced. It's just that he doesn't understand the fickleness of human nature."
… ….
Others didn't take Chen Hansheng and Li Xiaokai seriously.
After all, one was just a college student who relied on Zheng Guanyun's "favor".
Fortunately, Chen Hansheng usually kept a low profile and didn't compete for the limelight. Therefore, the management generally didn't want to provoke him, and they lived in peace.
The other was a Chinese who grew up drinking milk. He didn't have a foundation in the country and was not enough to pose a threat. It was difficult for him to shake the current forces in the factory.
As the other managers left the canteen one by one, Chen Hansheng and Li Xiaokai's topic had extended from cultural attractions to ancient myths and legends.
"You said that college students like you grew up in the country and went to college."
Li Xiaokai asked curiously, "Do you believe that there are creatures like dragons in the country?"
"Of course."
Chen Hansheng immediately replied, "Although dragon is a kind of totem, it is very life-like. We often encounter dragons in our daily lives."
"Damn, it's true!"
Li Xiaokai became interested, "Is there any strange news in your hometown?"
"I haven't heard of anything in my hometown."
Chen Hansheng said seriously, "But my current leader, Zhong Jiancheng, every time after eating, he would always ask if you want to go to his one-stop service. You see, isn't this everywhere in our daily lives?"
Li Xiaokai went into a daze for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so humorous."
The two then went downstairs together. Li Xiaokai went back to his office, and Chen Hansheng went back to school.
At night, when Chen Hansheng was playing games in the dormitory, Zheng Guanyun suddenly sent a message.
"What do you think of Li Xiaokai as the deputy factory director? Let him be fully responsible for the second round of MP3 research and development, and you will also take a specific position in the factory."
Chen Hansheng's first reaction was that Zheng Guanyun was too anxious. Li Xiaokai's ability was definitely not a problem, but others might not be convinced by him.
MP3 was not something that could be completed by the scientific research department alone. It needed someone to coordinate, just like Zheng Guanyun in the past.
If Li Xiaokai took the lead, something would definitely go wrong.
But from another perspective, if there were loopholes on Li Xiaokai's side, he would find the loopholes in time. This would be the embodiment of the greatest effect.
"When it comes to the adjustment of the higher-ups, what can I, a college student, give my opinion? Brother Jin, you can make the decision."
Chen Hansheng first pushed the responsibility away. He did not agree or disagree. If there was a problem, he would not have to take the blame.
"As for the specific position, I think it is still too early."
Chen Hansheng replied. Taking a specific position meant that he had to stand on Li Xiaokai's side. Chen Hansheng only wanted to maintain his independence.
"Rocket 101 is also very busy. I will continue to be a consultant and do my best to help Li Xiaokai."
Chen Hansheng was thinking of this idea. He would let Li Xiaokai take the lead, and he would come up with ideas from behind.
"Okay, let me think about it."
Zheng Guanyun's message revealed a sense of helplessness.
Chen Hansheng took a look at the message and did not reply.
"Brother Four, hurry up, all of your teammates are dead."
Kim Yang-myung reminded loudly at the side. When Chen Hansheng sent the message, he stopped playing the game. All of his teammates were dead.
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Chen Hansheng had a cigarette in his mouth and said with his eyes squinted, "We are just biding our time. Although all of our teammates died while we were charging, they had also exposed the enemy's position."
"Old Six, watch carefully. With a sniper rifle, I will show you an extreme comeback!"
