Chapter 1445 The Wedding Cannot Be Simple

After lunch, Zheng Song went home happily. Tomorrow he would set off for Longjiang to pick up Zang Yunli and bring her to Beiliao.

Take Zang Yunli over and the two of them will decide what to do.

After watching Zheng Song leave, Wan Feng took a walk around Happy Entertainment City.

The first floor of the entertainment city is still crowded, most of whom are students.

These students should be on vacation after their final exams, otherwise there shouldn't be so many students at this time.

Xu Bin finally replaced the two bars on the first floor that were made up of tables with a real bar.

There is a bar with a circular corner in the front and a small door near the inner wall.

There was a closet on each wall at the corner, with drinks and cigarettes on it.

Xu Bin was sitting in the corner, crunching melon seeds.

"Brother! You're back?" Xu Bin smiled when he saw Wan Feng pushing the door open.

Wan Feng walked to the counter and sat down next to Xu Bin. He reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them while chatting.

"I came back last night. Gungunyuan brought you ten of the latest substrates, but the goods are on Zhang Shiqian's fleet truck, so it will probably take another two days to arrive."

Before returning, Wan Feng also purchased some of the latest electronic components in SEG Market, which were packaged together with Xu Bin's substrates and loaded by Zhang Shiqian's fleet.

"Is business good?"

"good."

"What about the game console business?"

"I bought a house and converted it into a processing workshop. I hired six carpenters from other brigades to make game console cases for me, and I hired four people in Xiaoshu Village to assemble the consoles. On average, I can sell five or six consoles every day."

This should have been done a long time ago. The work is not done by one person. Xu Bin used to do it himself, but that was a rustic way of doing things.

Xu Bin has taken root in this industry. If he manages it properly, he can keep it going until around 2000.

Internet cafes became popular at that time, and he could seamlessly transfer to the Internet cafe business.

But the production of the game console is nonsense.

But by then he should have a net worth of at least one million, so he could definitely switch to assembling computers.

At that time, a medium-sized computer cost around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, which was affordable for people with relatively stable incomes.

There is little hope of becoming rich, but becoming a local wealthy person is not a problem.

The current net profit of a game console is around 1,500 to 2,000 yuan, but the profit will become lower and lower as its popularity increases and the price of electronic components falls.

The law of the market is a very strange thing. Usually, as prices go up, profits will increase. Conversely, if prices fall, profits will decrease.

In a word: the cheaper you are, the less money you make.

The game console industry is the least profitable, but it is not a problem to make three or two hundred yuan from a game console.

There are still some girls with good taste. Wan Feng has already noticed that some girls are winking at Xu Bin.

Xu Bin is not ugly and is now a rich man, so it is not surprising that some girls pursue him.

If Gungunyuan wants to take over, it will probably face some competitors.

Men are all fickle. If Teng Yuanyuan is not with Xu Bin, Xu Bin might be seduced by her beauty and have sex with someone else one day.

This problem seems to have nothing to do with him, so there is no need to worry about it.

Wan Feng sat here until after one o'clock. He probably came to the Nanwan factory after the factory started working.

This time I must go and say hello to Chen Dao and Li Da, otherwise I might get scolded.

In the engine research department on the first floor of the scientific research building, Wan Feng met Chen Dao who was supervising the production line for manufacturing 200,000 engines.

The engine research department under Chen Dao's supervision includes the development and production of engine production lines, as well as the research and development of motorcycle engines.

Sometimes I would be temporarily transferred to other departments to handle public relations, which was very busy.

Because of the large number and heavy workload, the engine department is the strongest.

Two-thirds of the factory's technical backbones are in this department.

Now there is another car engine to explore and understand. The Volga has been dismantled into parts.

"You kid are planning to tire me to death, bringing a car here." Chen Dao said with a smile.

"You can't be exhausted to death. I'm counting on you to help Sister Qi Hong give birth to something. How can she give birth without you?"

"You're bullshitting as soon as you get here!"

There are still more than ten days left before Chen Dao's wedding, and Wan Feng thinks that the two of them should take a break to prepare for the wedding.

Chen Dao shook his head and said, "Why take a holiday? On that day, we can just change clothes and hold a ceremony. There's no time to prepare for a wedding."

"What are you talking about? Do you think you can fool people because you're getting married for the second time? But this is Sister Qi Hong's first time, and this is a big deal. You don't take it seriously, but I do. Starting tomorrow, you have to take a day off to prepare for the wedding."

"Not now. Let's wait a couple of days. I only need three days to prepare. There's not much to prepare. I can just prepare a few tables of banquet at the hotel and have a gathering with colleagues and friends. That'll be it."

But it can't be that simple, it must be more grand.

It's time to ask Yan Ling to come over. In addition to discussing some advertising, he should plan the wedding for Chen Dao.

It's only natural for an advertising company to plan a wedding.

"Uncle Chen! When will this line be completed?"

"With the experience gained from the previous 100,000-unit production line, this one will be much faster. Manufacturing-wise, there aren't many changes compared to the 100,000-unit line. The main changes are the few manual processes that will be replaced by computer programs. During the time you were away, Qin Guanghui and Gu Hongzhong, after their learning machine technology was frozen, came here to study for a few days. They believe those manual processes can be completely automated with CNC, making this line fully automatic and significantly improving efficiency. Once the transformation is successful, achieving the 200,000-unit production target will be a no-brainer."

"Can it be modified?"

"That should be no problem. Our factory is now capable of producing CNC machine tools. Making two CNC programs and CNC equipment shouldn't be a difficult task."

Not a big deal? It's a big deal.

Only Chen Dao, who doesn't know much about computers, dares to say such things.

But Wan Feng was still very confident that Qin Guanghui and Gu Hongzhong could design the program. They could design the program, and Li Da and others could make corresponding equipment based on these programs. This line was not far from success.

"Can this May Day line be produced?"

"Today is December 29th, January, February, March, April... almost there! We'll try to get this line started on May 1st, replace the first 50,000-unit line in July, and the second in September. We'll try to have all four lines operating at 200,000 units by the end of the year."

If the main factory is converted to a production capacity of 800,000 engines, plus the other two production lines modified to produce 100,000 engines and placed in Zhang Shiqian's hometown, the Nanwan factory will have a production capacity of one million engines.

In that way, temporarily meeting market demand will not be a problem.
