"In fact, it's really not worth it. If I directly hire a team from the United States to do it, the price will be much lower, and the speed will be much faster."
Do you know why I did this?
Host Zhao: ...
Good heavens, are you about to open fire?
Despite feeling somewhat bitter, Host Zhao still wore a puzzled expression: "Why?"
"Because we people also need to grow. I work in the automotive industry, and only I know how many hardships I've gone through, from individual parts to a complete car. When a car is finally finished, do you know what I'm thinking?"
What are you thinking about?
"I hope my luck will be good from now on."
“Luck?” Host Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly; that was not a good word.
"That's right, it's all about luck. Even after it left the factory, I didn't know if the car would actually work or if any strange problems would arise. Even after several months of testing, I still didn't know if there were any issues. Fortunately, so far, there haven't been any problems. But only I know how many times it failed."
"This is a long process, a process of catching up. The time and effort required in this process are much higher than those of mature factories abroad."
Can the latecomer surpass the first?
How could such a thing happen so easily?
"Therefore, I am willing to spend some money to help our country catch up. Perhaps you don't understand what this design means..." Wang Shouren only briefly mentioned it before explaining the benefits of the design: "Here, and here." Pointing to the map, he introduced to the viewers in front of the television: "These two main roads, and several auxiliary roads running alongside them. They can quickly help me transport supplies, from here to here, and also..."
The ordinary people sitting in front of the television were confused but impressed.
But it was only when the factory managers sat in front of the television that they realized just how amazing this design was.
Anyone who has ever run a factory knows that their own factory area has some problems, more or less. Light industry factories are relatively better off; if the roads are bad, they can manage with small trailers or similar vehicles. But for large steel rolling mills and the like, the design of the industrial park is extremely important. For one thing, the efficiency improvements that roads can make are significant.
As Wang Shouren introduced the topic, the factory managers watching on television couldn't help but take out their notebooks to take notes.
Some officials have also started to wonder if they should invite designers to produce some blueprints and give this industrial park a makeover, since it is truly beautiful.
As Wang Shouren continued his presentation, time ticked by. The half-hour session ended amidst sighs of wistfulness.
Yesterday's half hour was just for fun.
Today's half hour was different; it wasn't just about entertainment anymore. It was about a new method and approach.
The Eastern Family.
The two men from the Dongfang family watched Wang Shouren's eloquent speech on television.
Dongfang Fuxing couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy is really meticulous."
Dongfang Xingxue glared at him: "He created the famous 'mind map' and the five-star management system. Not to mention anything else, every factory in our country, if you take a stroll through his factory, you're bound to gain something."
"What a talent!"
On the other side, Liu, the factory director, and Wu, the deputy factory director, who also run a motorcycle factory, huddled together studying Wang Shouren's industrial park.
"What a talent... This design is simply too intricate."
Others may not know, but how could they not know? They hadn't paid much attention before, but now that these things were in front of them, they felt that their factory was somehow out of place.
They have designated times for receiving and shipping goods, and the channels are specially built. They even have various kinds of hidden material transport routes. It takes incredible attention to detail to come up with something like that.
Actually, when Wang Shouren visited this park, he was also incredibly surprised.
Even in later generations, he hadn't seen such detail. The construction process in later generations was roughly that an engineer would come to the site, ask what type of structure was needed, then fit it into a template, and finally, construction would be complete. As for any problems that arose later, the factory manager would have to figure them out and make the necessary modifications. The key point of Wang Shouren's industrial park was that he provided far too much.
I feel embarrassed to visit other people's places so often.
This level of design fee, just for designing a factory site?
It must be perfect.
When will the goods be shipped? When will the materials arrive, and what is the area of the materials to be delivered?
The investigation of the factory area alone took two full weeks, with ample redundancy and every detail meticulously considered. They even referenced Wang Shouren's five-star management system to create this industrial park. In terms of quality, Wang Shouren believed it far surpassed ordinary industrial parks of later generations.
I've never seen such a meticulously matched park.
"You really spent that much money on the design?" Qin Jingru looked at Wang Shouren in shock.
"Ah." Wang Shouren nodded: "In order to fool those old men, who keep talking about Western architecture all the time, I thought it would be good to study the things of our ancestors. At least, the combination of modern and ancient is very beautiful."
"So, they were convinced by you?"
"No, no, they said I was talking nonsense."
"No, how is that nonsense?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.
"Because I asked them to incorporate feng shui principles to improve the feng shui of the park."
Qin Jingru: ...
Qin Huairu: ...
"Ouch...it hurts..."
"Are you really not afraid of death?! You're in this state and you're still doing this!"
“That makes some sense!” Wang Shouren slapped away Qin Huairu, who was pinching his ear, and Qin Jingru, who was pinching his waist.
Qin Huairu was genuinely afraid, while Qin Jingru was just there for the fun of it.
"In short, I gave them a lot of money, so they did the research. I don't care how they did it, but once it was built, it was definitely more comfortable than other places."
Wang Shouren believed a little in things like the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Yin and Yang, and Feng Shui, but not much. In short, he thought there was some truth to them and would use them if they could. At least, it would be a good thing for domestic architecture to start out and not just follow the West all the time, but to have its own style.
Actually, this is quite a difficult subject. Ancient Chinese metaphysics and feng shui are vast systems, and studying them isn't easy. But Wang Shouren offered so much money, so let's combine them; researching them wouldn't be a bad thing.
