Jiangnan Province Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Group's Peeping

After listening to the executive, Jiang Zhimin immediately asked angrily, "What! What kind of joke are you making?

As far as I know, the factory that manufactures this Aerodynamic Bicycle is just a small factory. Their production equipment is very outdated, just some old machine tools.

They are not even as good as one of our group's subsidiaries. If they can manufacture such an Aerodynamic Bicycle, why can't we? Don't tell me that our group's machine tools and other equipment are not as good as that small workshop."

"Mr. Jiang, we can indeed manufacture most of the parts for this Aerodynamic Bicycle, but the most troublesome aspects are the patent for this bicycle and its core components.

It's not that our group's equipment is inferior to theirs. Based on the judgment made by the Product Research and Development Department after disassembling this bicycle,

The factory that produces this Aerodynamic Bicycle, the core components of this Aerodynamic Bicycle should be manually turned out by the most skilled Lathe Operators using the most ordinary precision machine tools. I suspect that their factory definitely has Lathe Operators of level eight or even higher, and the number is far more than one person.

Therefore, without such level nine Lathe Operators, we simply cannot produce the same Aerodynamic Bicycle as them." After hearing Jiang Zhimin's words, the head of the Product Research and Development Department stepped forward and said.

"I don't care how difficult it is technically, that's your problem. I have given you enough funds and time.

You must solve these difficulties within a month, whether it's purchasing high-performance machine tools or processing with ordinary lathes, that's your problem.

I just want to see our company produce this Aerodynamic Bicycle within a month, otherwise, what's the use of me keeping you people? I'll put my words here first, you all can leave now."

After saying this, he turned to the board of directors and said, "Directors, please stay for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

"Directors, we must give sufficient attention to the new animated Aerodynamic Bicycle appearing on the market. Therefore, I believe we should arrange for someone to contact the general manager of their company. If possible, we should directly acquire their company and the resources they hold.

I believe you also heard what the people from the Product Research and Development Department said just now. The core components of this bicycle are all handcrafted.

That means that although this factory is just a small factory, they have Lathe Operators with skill levels of eight or even higher, and the number is not just one.

If we can acquire these level eight and nine technicians, it will be of great help to our group.

So the purpose of asking you directors to stay is to discuss how much money we should offer to acquire this company?"

The entire Jiangnan Province Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Group has more than 20 directors, but among the more than 20 directors, most are just small shareholders. The real major shareholders, the directors with decision-making power in the company, are only three.

So although Jiang Zhimin asked all the directors present, in reality, he was only asking the two directors who, like him, held a significant number of shares.

"Mr. Jiang! I don't think we need to rush this matter. As far as I know, our company's Product Research and Development Department has been working overtime for many days recently to analyze this bicycle.

I think it won't be long before the Product Research and Development Department gives us a satisfactory answer." After hearing Jiang Zhimin's words, one of the small shareholders present replied.

As soon as this small shareholder finished speaking, some of the small shareholders present also nodded. It was obvious that this group of people did not want to spend money to acquire this small factory. After all, when they initially invested in the Jiangnan Province Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Group, they were only interested in money, and now they were being asked to contribute money, which was extremely difficult.

He did not answer the small shareholder's words but turned his gaze to the other two major shareholders.

"If you're relying on these people from the Product Research and Development Department, then just keep dreaming. Don't you know what kind of people they are? If it weren't for the fact that they are old employees of the company, I would have replaced them long ago. Why wait until now?

Think about it, even a small mechanical factory, no matter how small, can develop a product like the Aerodynamic Bicycle, but what about them? How many products have they developed since the group was established? Even the products that have been developed are just following trends, without any independent innovation or patented technology."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to him again and said, "Mr. Jiang, I agree with your opinion. How much do you think we should offer to acquire this company?"

After one major shareholder finished speaking, the other one also nodded without speaking, clearly indicating his agreement as well.

Seeing that both major shareholders agreed, Jiang Zhimin thought for a moment and said, "My opinion is that anything within 10 million can be considered. Even if it exceeds 10 million, as long as it is below 15 million, it is not impossible, but it absolutely cannot exceed 15 million. Any more than that will affect the operation of our group, as our working capital is not sufficient."

"Okay, I agree."

"I also agree."

It was clear that once the three of them agreed, the opinions of the other small shareholders were already negligible. After all, their combined shares already far exceeded 60%, so the opinions of those other small shareholders were completely ignored by them.

Zhang Yi was extremely happy these past few days. Not only was Huang Jie's sales of the Aerodynamic Bicycle in Hang City incredibly hot, with the thousand Aerodynamic Bicycles selling out in just one day and her urging him several times to ship more quickly, but he had also shipped the goods to Hao Chen Pneumatic and received the final payment. At the same time, Hao Chen Pneumatic had ordered another five thousand Air Motors from him.

Even online sales were steadily climbing, with twenty to thirty units selling every day now. Simultaneously, the Product Research and Development Department's development of the production line for the Aerodynamic Bicycle was progressing exceptionally smoothly.

However, since Zhang Yi's factory was building a production line for the first time, the line being developed this time was only a Semi-Automated Production Line, not a fully automated one.

Despite this, Zhang Feng was already very satisfied. One must know that most electric vehicle manufacturers currently use traditional manual production lines with very limited capacity.

Even if some manufacturers' production lines incorporate some intelligence, their efficiency isn't high. A daily output of one to two hundred units per production line is the absolute maximum.

Based on theoretical calculations, the production line Zhang Yi's factory was building, if running at full capacity, could produce at least a thousand Aerodynamic Bicycles per day on a single Semi-Automated Production Line.

This was a tenfold increase compared to traditional manual production lines, and this was even with the Aerodynamic Bicycle having a much more complex structure than traditional electric bicycles.

Furthermore, this Semi-Automated Production Line could not only produce Aerodynamic Bicycles but also traditional electric vehicles or bicycles with ease, and at a production speed 10 to 15 times faster than traditional production lines.

So, on the afternoon the production line blueprints were completed, Zhang Yi drove his small truck to the Zhou Tai City Patent Office, preparing to apply for a patent for this production line. It's important to note that this production line was different from the previous Aerodynamic Bicycle. The blueprints for the Aerodynamic Bicycle were purchased by Zhang Yi from the Scholar Hiring System, while this Semi-Automated Production Line was developed by them themselves. He also wanted to sell this production line externally when the time was right in the future.
