Regarding the research and development of new water pumps, Zhao Shanhe's attitude was decisive. He originally thought that he had completed Gao Shaoyuan's work, but he did not expect that Gao Shaoyuan was also hesitant now.
Yes, I also know that there are still many backlogged water pumps piled up in Jiuquan Manufacturing's warehouse.
But is the new water pump we have developed comparable to those old water pumps?
Those water pumps have long been eliminated by the times, and ours are about to rise.
"Mr. Chen, senior engineer, let's not talk about this matter."
"You have worked hard these past two days, so you should take a good vacation and rest."
"As for mass production, I will arrange it." Zhao Shanhe said calmly.
"All right."
Seeing what Chen Jiguo wanted to say, Gao Shaoyuan interrupted him directly.
"Then I will sort out the information on the new water pump in the next two days and seize the time to apply for a national patent."
"good."
Zhao Shanhe nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then turned around and left.
When only Gao Shaoyuan and the others were left here, Chen Jiguo asked with some confusion: "Gao Gong, why didn't you just let me continue to persuade Director Zhao?"
"You must know that this is no small matter. If these new water pumps are to be mass-produced, the investment cost will be quite huge. This is not comparable to the food research of Shanqiu Food."
"Mr. Chen, it's not that I have to stop you, but it's about this. In fact, I told Factory Director Zhao before."
"At that time, Director Zhao was very resolute and said that no matter what, he would let me develop a new type of water pump."
"What I thought at the time was, it doesn't matter, isn't it just research and development?"
"Whatever product is developed is not research and development, so just develop a new type of water pump according to Director Zhao's wishes."
"When it is developed, maybe Director Zhao will change his mind."
"And if he changes his mind, it's not a big deal."
"Let's just treat it as a template for developing a new product and keep it for future use."
"But you have also seen that Director Zhao's thoughts have not changed. They are still the same as before."
"He just wants us to develop a new type of water pump and mass-produce it. He is the most insistent at this time. It is useless no matter what we say. No matter how much we talk, it will be in vain."
"So don't try to persuade me now. Let's find an opportunity to persuade you again."
Chen Jiguo thought for a while and nodded with deep approval: "That's right. I think he seems to be over the top."
"Then wait until he calms down and then we can try to persuade him."
"Anyway, this can't be done in a short while."
"If you want to produce this kind of water pump, you have to set up a new production line and train workers. All of this takes time."
"Mr. Chen, it seems that you still care about Director Zhao." Gao Shaoyuan said with a smile.
"Do you care about him?" Chen Jiguo chuckled and said disapprovingly, "I don't want him to be impulsive and lose the little family fortune he has finally accumulated."
"Why did Jiuquan Hardware go bankrupt at that time? Wasn't it because of the leadership's wrong decision-making?"
"As you know, Hetu Manufacturing and Jiuquan Manufacturing are just on the right track now. It would be a pity if we did something wrong because of impulse and caused irreparable losses."
"That's right!"
Gao Shaoyuan nodded in agreement, then turned to look around him.
"Qiucheng, after all, we are all outsiders, but you are Director Zhao's brother-in-law."
"Well, try to persuade your brother-in-law more. If that doesn't work, you can mobilize your sister to persuade him."
"In short, no matter what, we must let him give up the idea of mass production."
"Okay, I know about this, but..." Li Qiucheng hesitated.
"But what?" Gao Shaoyuan asked.
"But if it really can't be mass produced, wouldn't our research and development these days be in vain?" Li Qiucheng asked puzzledly.
"In vain?"
Gao Shaoyuan laughed loudly, patted Li Qiucheng on the shoulder and said, "Who told you that new products developed must be mass-produced immediately?"
"Do you think that if the new water pump we developed cannot be mass-produced immediately, it will be a waste of time? That's not the case."
"You have to know that the process of developing new products is also a process of learning and accumulating experience, which will be indispensable for us to develop other products in the future."
"Moreover, how dare you say that the new water pump was developed in vain?"
"After all, you have also seen that the advantages of the new water pump are still very obvious, and they are far superior to the old water pumps."
"Based on this alone, if we carry out production, we will have a market advantage."
"And you must know that many engineering water pumps are developed based on this most basic water pump. We can also develop other engineering water pumps in the future."
"I said I won't allow mass production. I just think there is no need for separate mass production of this new type of water pump. Do you understand?"
"Got it!"
Li Qiucheng suddenly understood and smiled.
"Then I know what to do. I'll talk to my sister about it when I get back."
"I'll go talk to Yang E too," Chen Jiguo said.
"Then I'll go find Deputy Director Li." Gao Shaoyuan also said.
"What about us? Why don't we go talk to the teacher about this and let the teacher persuade Factory Director Zhao, otherwise, it will be troublesome when mass production starts." Zhang Du and Wei Ming looked at each other and said.
"Alright."
Gao Shaoyuan thought for a while and then said: "With Teacher Zhai coming forward, I believe Director Zhao will be able to listen."
"Then let's start doing this now. Let's all take action and try to dispel Director Zhao's idea before he gives the order."
"good!"
A few people do what they say, and those who act resolutely take action.
When the people they were looking for heard about this, their first reaction was the same as theirs.
Whether it is Li Qiuya, Li Xiangyang, or Yang E, they will definitely support Zhao Shanhe's decision.
Because from the establishment of Shanqiu Food and Hetu Manufacturing to now, everything has proved that Zhao Shanhe's decision was wise and correct.
But this time there are some exceptions.
They supported the opinions of Gao Shaoyuan and Chen Jiguo.
There is no market for water pumps. If there really was a market, do you think there would still be mountains of water in the Jiuquan manufacturing warehouse?
When you said you wanted to do research and development before, we took it purely as your hobby. We didn't expect you to want to mass-produce it now, which is a bit too much.
Stimulated by this idea, the first person to come to Zhao Shanhe was Yang E.
Who made her feel the most about the whole thing? After all, she had to keep her mouth shut in order to be able to sell those water pumps.
However, even so, not many were sold.
So she couldn't just watch Zhao Shanhe make the same mistake this time.
Once this mistake is made, Zhao Shanhe will leave the industry just like Wu Liande of Jiuquan Hardware, and it will also cause hundreds of workers in Hetu to suffer misfortune.
"Dong dong."
Yang E knocked on the door of Zhao Shanhe's office.
