Dawn 1.0 Is Raging

Chapter 45: Dawn 1.0 is Hot (25)

The discussions with the Huaxia Electric Grid continued until the afternoon. The rich ideas and collaborative approaches made the executives from Huaxia Electric Grid envision a brighter future for Huaxia. Although there were many aspects that still needed refinement, the prospect of a partnership solely on the power distribution system had already impressed everyone.

After seeing off the group from Huaxia Electric Grid, the few of them grabbed their boxed lunches and ate casually in the conference room.

"Brother Chuan, Yuehua's construction team has already started work. Based on the design blueprints for the southern part of the Tianzhi Electronics Factory provided by Achen, they've begun infrastructure construction. According to the plan, all factory buildings will use reinforced concrete frames and metal roofs, and are expected to be completed in about two weeks. My dad has mobilized all of Yuehua's cooperating construction teams, and they're working 24 hours a day," Zhao Wanyu said, then took a bite of rice drenched in sauce.

Chen Mengchuan nodded and looked at Toni.

Toni pushed his glasses up with his bamboo chopsticks and said, "The fees for all 300-plus production lines include transportation, installation, and delivery. When the construction is nearing completion, they will be transported here and installation will begin. Delivery will be completed within five days, and they can start production."

"Brother Xu, what's the status of the factory's raw material reserves?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"We have enough raw materials stockpiled for now, but if we increase to 300 production lines, it will obviously be far from enough. However, Brother Sun has already made all the necessary arrangements," Xu Shuwei said slowly.

Sun Zhongyong nodded. "Mengchuan, I've already finalized all the arrangements for the raw materials. Starting next week, they will be gradually transported from all over Huaxia. This will ensure that by the time these production lines are operational, we'll have sufficient raw materials for production. All suppliers have signed long-term supply contracts. Because of the large volume, suppliers will give us prices below market value and prioritize our orders."

"Xiaoxiao, how's the expansion of the cables and the supercomputer going?" Chen Mengchuan turned to Gu Xiaoxiao, who was drinking soup.

"The cabling plan for the new factory area is complete and will be integrated along with the renovation progress. Achen will be able to start connecting everything as soon as possible. The new procurement order for the Tianzhi supercomputer has been placed, totaling 190 million US dollars for hardware, to be delivered and paid in six installments. Delivery will take about three weeks," Gu Xiaoxiao replied.

"Wanyu, how are the sales of Dawn 1.0 going?" Chen Mengchuan asked Zhao Wanyu.

"It's sold out. The number of registered members on the Tianzhi official website has reached over 42 million. Every day, when pre-orders are about to open, there are over 20 million online users. We are now releasing inventory four times a day, with 50,000 units of Dawn 1.0 each time. We can pre-order 200,000 sets a day, but it's still not enough to meet demand. Feedback from the first batch of users who received the Dawn 1.0 chargers has also come in, causing a sensation on major video websites. There are also various imitation test videos, and even quite a few people have posted disassembly videos, trying to uncover the secrets of Dawn 1.0," Zhao Wanyu said slowly.

Chen Mengchuan nodded. Based on the current pre-orders of 200,000 units per day, that equates to nearly 90 million Huaxia Yuan in revenue daily.

"What about the logistics? Can it support this shipping volume?" Chen Mengchuan asked again.

Sun Zhongyong answered, "The current logistics shipping volume can support 200,000 shipments, but if the new production lines become operational, it definitely won't be enough."

After a moment of thought, Chen Mengchuan said, "Achen, please help us allocate orders by region based on the daily order summary and re-optimize the order printing sequence. Coordinate with logistics to calculate how much time this can save."

"Okay, Father, the calculation is complete. After optimizing the logistics and shipping structure, we can increase current efficiency by 72%. It can be implemented now," Achen replied.

The current factory logistics and distribution process involves workers manually affixing different shipping orders to the finished and packaged products from the production line. These are then sent to the shipping areas of the 12 partner express logistics companies according to their respective assembly lines. After that, the delivery personnel collect the packages and enter their respective logistics shipping systems.

"Thank you, Achen. Please implement it. Let's improve efficiency as much as possible," Chen Mengchuan nodded.

The group continued to discuss plans and progress until late into the night.

Zhao Wanyu drove Chen Mengchuan towards Peninsula Mansion.

"Brother Chuan."

"Hmm?" Chen Mengchuan, who had been looking out at the night scenery, turned his head.

"Your mother called me today."

"What did she ask?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

Zhao Wanyu's face flushed slightly. "She said she went to your apartment in Su City but couldn't find you. When she opened the door, she saw it hadn't been tidied up in a long time and asked if you were staying with me."

Chen Mengchuan sat up a little straighter. He had completely forgotten that his mother had the key to his apartment in Su City.

"Did you tell her?" Chen Mengchuan's old face turned red.

Zhao Wanyu nodded. "I told her I had a few empty rooms... You are indeed staying with me now, after all, it's closer to the company."

"It's fine if you told her," Chen Mengchuan smiled, feeling somewhat relieved.

His complicated relationship with his family in his dreams had many sources of conflict, primarily with his father. Sun Weijie had also told him that ever since he went to Japan, his mother would go to his apartment in Su City every week to clean it and never wanted to rent it out.

Chen Mengchuan didn't know how many times his mother must have cried while cleaning his empty apartment alone. With his marriage to Ayase Sonoko, he had lost many things, and the regrets in his heart were something Chen Mengchuan still didn't want to face.

"She said she called you but you didn't answer, and she was worried you were busy, so she asked me to tell you to come home for dinner when you have time. Your Aunt Gan sent over several old hens," Zhao Wanyu said slowly.

Chen Mengchuan's eyes became a little hazy as he looked out the car window and nodded.

"Then I'll go back after work tomorrow. Wanyu, will you come back with me tomorrow?" Chen Mengchuan looked back at Zhao Wanyu.

Zhao Wanyu's heart warmed, and she replied, "There's a lot of work at the company tomorrow, I might not have time. I'll see."

Chen Mengchuan rolled his eyes. "Come on~!"

"Alright then, I'll accompany you back. I haven't had homemade chicken soup in a long time," Zhao Wanyu smiled.
