Only then could S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company be considered a large automobile manufacturing company with fully independent research and development and manufacturing capabilities, completely getting rid of its dependence on external sources for core automobile components, achieving complete self-sufficiency, not having to look after any supplier, and not having to worry about being held hostage or having its weaknesses exploited.

Of course, this only refers to the three core components that are controlled and monopolized by a few manufacturers, especially the major automotive groups.

As for other components such as interior trim, seats, and headlights, which are not technically demanding and are rather miscellaneous, they are still sourced externally to save time and effort.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company has only been established for less than two months, and its development has been very rapid. If it were to complete the production of all components in-house, it would need to purchase a large amount of equipment and hire more personnel. Expanding too much in a short period of time would have a negative impact on management and production.

Moreover, the profit margins for these non-core processes are not very high, so there is absolutely no need to spend a lot of time, energy, and money on them.

Chen Mo wants to develop a high-tech enterprise, not a labor-intensive electronics factory.

Therefore, all low-tech, low-profit, and low-efficiency processes will be outsourced for production.

Manufacturing a car doesn't require producing even the screws yourself. As long as you master the core technologies and production processes, avoid being held hostage by outsiders, and maintain the highest profit margins and production management efficiency, there's no need to handle unimportant, high-investment, low-return processes yourself.

In addition to the adjustments made to the various production departments of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, Chen Mo also separated some personnel from the original processing workshop, assembly workshop, R&D department and other departments to establish a new company.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Mechanical Company!

Having already built automated production lines, they now possess the capability to produce robotic arms and other mechanical equipment. With the completion of the first phase of the industrial park, Chen Mo, while adjusting the various production workshops of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, simply separated the mechanical manufacturing portion and established a new mechanical manufacturing company in the reserved new factory area.

Chen Mo were not simply a matter of splitting the original production workshop into two parts.

From the moment Chen Mo took over the car company, the company's human resources department began to recruit a large number of people for various positions at Chen Mo's request. However, due to J.A.R.V.I.S.'s screening and oversight, a large number of unqualified people were eliminated, and the recruitment speed was not fast. But after more than a month, quite a few people still passed the review and joined the company. It was precisely because of the addition of these people that the automated car production line was able to be built in such a short time with their assistance.

Now that the production line is complete, although "Knight" has received a lot more orders, there are still some spare staff.

This time, the establishment of a separate mechanical manufacturing company was formed by gathering these newly joined employees and using some of the old employees of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company as the backbone.

Since the equipment of the machinery company was purchased separately and not many of the old employees were transferred from the company, the production capacity of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company was not greatly affected. After the machinery company had all the factory buildings, equipment and personnel in place, it quickly put into production. However, this time it was not producing the robotic arms related to the automated production line, but basic industrial equipment such as machine tools and forging presses.

Like the robotic arm, Chen Mo has a complete set of technical data and blueprints, as well as equipment, professional workers, engineers, and technicians. Although there will be some troubles at the beginning, manufacturing it will not be a problem.

Chen Mo copied technical blueprints of various advanced industrial equipment from HYDRA. With this machinery company, these devices could be gradually transformed into finished products and applied to Chen Mo's business empire.

After all, it would be too troublesome for him to bring equipment from the movie world using his spatial abilities. Not only could he only bring back a limited number of items each time, but he also wasn't guaranteed to have any each time.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of a batch of overly advanced equipment would easily arouse suspicion, so Chen Mo placed all the equipment he brought from HYDRA in the Castle's basement for his own use.

Purchasing everything from outside sources would be too costly and have too long a lead time, requiring advance purchases. Also, while it's manageable at the moment because the technology level of our products isn't very high and the externally purchased equipment is sufficient to meet our production needs, as the company grows, we will definitely have more advanced and cutting-edge products in the future, and the current world-class equipment will no longer be able to meet our needs.

Since Chen Mo possesses a complete set of technical data, he can produce it himself.

On the one hand, in order to train and develop the company's employees, and on the other hand, to avoid arousing suspicion by suddenly producing overly advanced equipment, Chen Mo first presented some technical data and drawings of basic industrial equipment that were comparable to the current world's advanced level.

These devices are sufficient for the current needs. As the company develops and the skills and experience of its personnel improve, we can gradually introduce more advanced equipment as needed. This step-by-step approach will not arouse too much suspicion.

Although the first phase of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Industrial Park has been completed, Su Wan has not had a moment to rest. On the one hand, she has to take care of Chen Mo's life, on the other hand, she has to be busy with the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, and she also has to prepare for the upcoming second phase of the industrial park project.

Although the first phase of the industrial park is already very large, in addition to the space already occupied by S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company and the newly established S.H.I.E.L.D. Mechanical Company, as well as the factory buildings reserved for future expansion, there are still quite a few vacant spaces.

However, as the company grows, its expansion speed will be faster and faster. If construction is only started when needed, it will be too late. Therefore, some planned projects must start the construction of factory buildings in advance.

Su Wan's daily workload was not much different from before, so Chen Mo simply handed over the work at S.H.I.E.L.D. Mechanical Company to Anna.

Anna was overjoyed to be so highly regarded by the boss after only being at the company for less than a month. She worked with extra care and effort, and the assembly of S.H.I.E.L.D. Machinery proceeded even faster and more smoothly than Chen Mo had expected.

On this day, Chen Mo made a rare visit to the company. After inspecting the various departments and factory area, he listened to reports from the leaders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, as well as Su Wan and Anna, on their recent work in the conference room.

Sales of the "Knight" remain high, although not as frenzied as before, with nearly a hundred new orders every day.
