The entire area was filled with the sound of "Please be careful when backing up."
Old Han thought to himself, "That's it?"
Factory Director Li didn't know what to say. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
It doesn't seem to be like I imagined. There should be a display screen with a circle around it, and a needle sweeping around inside the circle. When it sees a person, a small dot appears, flashing on and off.
If Xing Baohua knew that the factory director had this idea, he would say that once the research and development was completed, he would probably be imprisoned.
That's a real radar!
Even setting aside the consequences of radar scanning a person, the car battery might not even be able to power it on. And even if it did, it would only last a second or two before it was dead.
Furthermore, the danger of radar scanning people is immense! It's not an exaggeration to say it's indirect murder.
"How was it, Factory Director?" Xing Baohua got out of the car and stood next to Factory Director Li, asking.
"It's not very good, it feels like a toy, who would buy it!" Factory Director Li said indifferently. He had previously thought Xing Baohua was omnipotent. Now it seemed he was just so-so. Luckily, the project hadn't started immediately, otherwise this kid would have ruined them.
“Not so great? Isn’t this pretty good?” Xing Baohua said, pointing at the car.
"What's so great about it! It's just a horn. I can just yell it a couple of times when I'm backing up. Why would I need to spend money on this thing?" said driver Lao Han.
That's what they say, but who rolls down their window and yells when they're backing up?
Seeing that the factory manager wasn't interested, Xing Baohua didn't say anything more. Pointing to the car, he said, "How about I take it apart?"
"Let's keep it and try it out for a while. Alright, you can go back to your work now." After saying that, Director Li returned to his office.
Xing Baohua touched his nose and saw the group of onlookers, who were chatting and laughing, pointing and slowly dispersing.
Xing Baohua thought to himself, "This shouldn't be happening!"
Why isn't Director Li interested in such a rare item as a reminder device? Does it have to be installed on electric tricycles to achieve widespread adoption?
Forget it, if Factory Director Li doesn't like it, he'll just produce it himself.
Even small amounts of money count! Xu Shuai is currently training in sales; once he returns, we'll make a few sets and have him visit several car factories.
Xing Baohua went to the fifth workshop for a casual look and then returned to his office.
A short while later, Hong Mingliang knocked on the door and came in with a middle-aged man.
Hong Mingliang smiled and said to Xing Baohua, "I just heard them say you've been doing R&D again, and you even put the product in the factory manager's car. How's the result?"
“Very good.” Xing Baohua said, taking out a cigarette and tossing it to Hong Mingliang and Old Zhao, the former squad leader of the third squad behind him.
Then he turned to Lao Zhao and said, "Lao Zhao, you're transferred to Class One. Get used to it."
"I'll adapt. It's the same work. Actually, I quite like the day shift," Old Zhao said.
That's just nonsense, like saying someone likes working the night shift.
"Alright! Do a good job, and I'll promote you to deputy director in a while!" Xing Baohua said to Hong Mingliang, though his words were somewhat meant to sow discord.
As expected, Hong Mingliang's expression changed slightly, and Lao Zhao looked a little embarrassed, glancing at Hong Mingliang and then at Xing Baohua.
Hong Mingliang initially brought Lao Zhao over with good intentions to pay his respects, since Xing Baohua was the boss of the fifth workshop, but it wouldn't be right for him to come all the way.
But who would have thought that Xing Baohua would set him up? Is it so easy to promote someone to deputy director?
He's still stuck on this hurdle.
Old Zhao chuckled and said, "I'm already very grateful to be transferred to the day shift. I wouldn't dare to dream of becoming a deputy director, nor could I do it."
"It's alright. If you can't be a director, you can learn. Learn more from Director Hong."
Hong Mingliang's expression changed just as Xing Baohua said, "The factory's electronic watch project has been approved. The R&D department is adding two production lines based on the electronic calculator production line. In the next couple of days, you need to organize people to clear out the empty space on the west side and prepare for the production line. Each shift should select a group of people to form the core team."
This was the first time Hong Mingliang had heard about this. Despite their frequent conflicts, Xing Baohua was not one to make empty promises. If the factory was going to go online, then it definitely would.
His expression immediately changed, and he smiled and said okay.
He glanced at Old Zhao again. He immediately understood Xing Baohua's intention, and said with an even wider smile, "The director is so thoughtful!"
"Not at all! Alright, you're all done now. I'll assign some work to Lao Zhao," Xing Baohua said, waving his hand at Hong Mingliang.
There was a purpose to keeping Lao Zhao around.
Regardless of the relationship between Lao Zhao and Hong Mingliang, they're just giving him a piece of the pie to whet his appetite. Once the project news comes out, his position will definitely be promoted, and he'll need to hire more workers and temporary staff. At that point, even more people will be pulling strings.
Xing Baohua wanted to stabilize the workshop before he left. He'd add a deputy production manager to the electronic watch division, while Hou Liwei would remain as the quality control team leader. As for him trying to bring in someone else, with Hong Mingliang blocking him, forget about it.
Xing Baohua can just step aside and watch them play when the time comes.
People's minds change once they have a little power or something. It seems like Lao Zhao listens to Hong Mingliang now, but who knows what will happen in the future?
Let's dig a small pit for them first, leaving some potential problems. Will Hou Liwei, struggling alone, resort to desperate measures?
