"Are you sure your factory can mass-produce various types of Air Motors before the end of the year?" Jin Hao Cheng hurriedly asked after Zhang Yi finished speaking.
"Yes! Boss Jin! I am absolutely certain that Seven Color Stone can produce Air Motors of every model before the end of the year!" Zhang Yi reaffirmed.
"Good!" After saying that, Jin Hao Cheng hesitated before asking, "Boss Zhang, how many of the motors you have in your hand does your factory currently have? If you have any, I would like to order some from your factory."
Zhang Yi found Jin Hao Cheng's question somewhat difficult to answer. After all, most of the components for this motor could currently only be made by Xiao Hua using that old-fashioned lathe. The newly purchased CNC Machine could only process a small portion of them. On average, Xiao Hua alone could manufacture fewer than two hundred units a day.
Thus, Zhang Yi was certain that for quite some time to come, this motor could only be made by Xiao Hua or top students of the same caliber as her. If he had not yet begun producing his Aerodynamic Bicycles, it would not have mattered if he sold some to Jin Hao Cheng. But now that he had started making Aerodynamic Bicycles, it would be difficult. The output was simply too low.
So Zhang Yi said, "Boss Jin, you just saw this engine. The components inside require extremely high precision, and many of the parts are quite complex. Ordinary CNC Machines simply cannot process them. They can only be made by the master craftsmen in our factory."
"So it simply cannot be mass-produced for the time being. Sorry, Boss Jin, but Seven Color Stone Mechanical Factory is temporarily unable to sell this Aerodynamic Motor externally on a large scale." After thinking it over, Zhang Yi still rejected Boss Jin Hao Cheng's request to purchase a batch of these engines.
Jin Hao Cheng was somewhat disappointed by Zhang Yi's reply. He had arrived full of excitement, but now it seemed he could only leave disappointed.
Fortunately, he had not gained nothing. At the very least, he had received Zhang Yi's positive assurance that various models of Aerodynamic Motors could be mass-produced before the end of this year.
However, as he looked at the exquisite motor in his hand, Jin Hao Cheng did not want to give up just like that. Although this Air Motor was very small and did not have much horsepower, it might not work in medium- to large-sized pneumatic tools such as industrial air impact wrenches. But if it were used in smaller pneumatic tools like pneumatic wrenches and pneumatic screwdrivers, its horsepower would definitely be sufficient. Combined with the motor's other performance advantages, it could absolutely raise that line of products at their factory to a whole new level.
At that moment, Jin Hao Cheng suddenly remembered an evaluation of this Air Motor made by one of his factory's designers before he came here. When they had checked the motor's data at the Intellectual Property Center of the Great Hua Empire, they had discovered that its internal components would certainly require considerable precision. An ordinary machinery factory definitely would not be able to produce it.
Before he came, that designer had also told him to be mentally prepared. Even if Seven Color Stone Mechanical Factory could produce this motor, its price definitely would not be low. If the performance of this Air Motor were reduced by one level, it would be even more suitable for use in pneumatic tools.
So he said, "Boss Zhang, since the issue lies with processing, if this Air Motor's performance were reduced by one level, could it then be processed using ordinary CNC Machines? After all, the Air Motors used in our pneumatic tools do not need to be as precise as this one."
After hearing Jin Hao Cheng's words, Zhang Yi did not immediately answer. Instead, he thought it over carefully.
Jin Hao Cheng had made himself very clear, or rather, it was easy to understand. This engine had originally been intended for installation in an Aerodynamic Bicycle, and every bit of compressed air in an Aerodynamic Bicycle had to be calculated precisely so that the compressed air inside could be utilized to the greatest extent possible. That was why the engine's internal components needed to be so precise that ordinary CNC Machines could not process them at all.
But ordinary pneumatic tools did not need to take such things into consideration. Or rather, their requirements were nowhere near as high as the motors used in Aerodynamic Bicycles. If the performance were reduced by one level, manufacturing would not be nearly as troublesome, and the price would certainly be much lower than before.
However, Zhang Yi still could not directly answer Jin Hao Cheng. Instead, he turned to look at Xiao Hua, who was operating the machine tool, and said, "Boss Jin, I cannot decide whether this Air Motor's performance can be reduced by one level. Please wait a moment. I need to ask the master in our factory."
"Alright, Boss Zhang. That is no problem. I can wait. Besides, watching this master from your factory machine parts really is a pleasure," Jin Hao Cheng replied with a smile.
So Zhang Yi and Jin Hao Cheng quietly watched Xiao Hua process the part. Once she had finished it, Zhang Yi told Xiao Hua about the matter and let her make the decision.
"No problem, Boss. If this motor's performance is reduced by one level, then even ordinary CNC Machines can produce it, and the production speed can be greatly increased," Xiao Hua replied without even needing to think.
"Xiao Hua, after this Air Motor's performance is reduced by one level, how would it compare with the Pneumatic Motors in ordinary pneumatic tools?" Zhang Yi was still somewhat uneasy after hearing Xiao Hua's answer. If its performance became worse than the Pneumatic Motors in ordinary pneumatic tools after being reduced by one level, there would be no point in it at all. Or rather, Jin Hao Cheng definitely would not buy it.
"Don't worry about that. Even if this motor's performance is reduced by one level, its overall performance would still be beyond anything ordinary pneumatic tools could compare to. Its utilization of compressed air, noise, vibration, horsepower, and so on would all be incomparable to the motors in ordinary pneumatic tools. At the very least, its performance would be around twice that of similar products of the same grade," Xiao Hua said after thinking for a moment.
In fact, there was one thing Xiao Hua did not say. Even if this Aerodynamic Motor's performance were reduced by one level, not just any CNC Machine could produce it. At the very least, the factory's current CNC Machine would still be unable to manufacture this motor's components without certain modifications. However, after reducing its performance by one level, large-scale industrial production would no longer be difficult.
As long as they hired a few more top students through the system when the time came, they could build a production line for this motor. Both the time and production speed could be greatly improved, while production efficiency would rise significantly. Xiao Hua strongly supported reducing this Aerodynamic Motor's performance by one level.
