"Let's start with five hundred!" Fangfang said!

"Alright! Sister Fang, I'll arrange for the factory to ship the goods as soon as I get back tomorrow." Zhang Yi immediately agreed to Hu Yifang's words.

When Zhang Yi finished his work, it was already past six in the evening, so he said to Zhang Yingying, "Yingying! I'm really sorry for making you wait so long! Let's go eat! Sister Fang, why don't you join us for dinner?"

"No! I still have some things to do at the shop, and I don't want to disturb your time together, being a third wheel! But you have to ship the goods to me quickly!" Hu Yifang said.

"Alright! Then we'll be going now! Goodbye, Sister Fang."

"Fangfang! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Zhang Yi got into his small truck and drove to the nearest hotel. As for the car he bought, the 4S shop would naturally deliver it back to Zhang Yi.

During dinner, Zhang Yi and Zhang Yingying had a very enjoyable meal, chatting and laughing. This also significantly increased their good feelings for each other.

After finishing dinner and sending Zhang Yingying home, Zhang Yi found that it was already past ten in the evening. Therefore, Zhang Yi decided not to drive at night. Although the roads were very smooth and wide now, driving at night still had certain dangers. So, Zhang Yi booked a room nearby and planned to return tomorrow.

Just as Zhang Yi finished booking the hotel and was about to go to sleep, his phone rang. Zhang Yi saw that it was Xiao Hua calling, so he immediately answered!

"Brother! Why haven't you come back yet! Mom is so worried!" After Zhang Yi answered, it was indeed Xiao Hua urging him to come home.

"Okay! Xiao Hua, tell Mom that I won't be coming back tonight. After all, it's already this late, and driving at night isn't good. By the way, Xiao Hua, nothing happened at the factory today, right?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Yes! Brother, with me here, what could happen? But today I received a call at the factory. The other party said they were from the Jiangnan Province Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Group and wanted to acquire our company. I refused, but they didn't give up and said they would send someone to discuss it in detail with us tomorrow." Xiao Hua thought for a moment, then said!

"Good job refusing! If you receive calls like that in the future, just refuse them directly. Although our factory's funds are not abundant, we are not at the point of selling the factory or shares. What's more, I found another agent today." Zhang Yi said.

"Okay! Brother! I understand. Brother, let's talk up to here. I'm going to rest now. Good night." Xiao Hua was different from others. If it were someone else, they would likely first ask for Zhang Yi's opinion, but Xiao Hua directly refused. This was because Xiao Hua was not only Zhang Yi's mother's goddaughter, but as the first scholar Zhang Yi hired through the system, after this period of interaction, she was very clear that with the Scholar Hiring System, Zhang Yi's future was infinitely bright. To put it nicely, Earthlings could no longer stop his rise.

"Good night!" After saying that, Zhang Yi took his pajamas and walked towards the bathroom.

The next day, Zhang Yi didn't return to the factory until past nine in the morning. At this time, the factory had already started building the production line, and the speed was very fast. When he returned, most of the parts for the production line were basically processed and ready for assembly.

Zhang Yi also went up to help. The production line was finally assembled in the afternoon, and after the assembly was completed, Zhang Yi and the others immediately conducted a trial run.

This production line had been running for nearly an hour, and it was running very well with no errors in between. And in just one hour, the production line had already produced dozens of Aerodynamic Bicycles, and the quality of the Aerodynamic Bicycles produced was also very good, with no problems occurring.

So Zhang Yi called for a few trucks and sent these five hundred Aerodynamic Bicycles to Sister Fang in Zhou Tai City.

Watching all the trucks loaded with Aerodynamic Bicycles drive away, Zhang Yi was full of confidence for the future. One must know that this was just his first product. Now that this product had achieved success, he had to start preparing for the second product.

However, Zhang Yi hadn't thought about what the second product should be. Just at this moment, Zhang Yi found that the production line, which had been running very smoothly, had stopped, and Xiao Hua and the others were inspecting the production line.

"What's wrong! Is there a design flaw in the production line?" Seeing the production line stop, Zhang Yi also came to the side of the production line and asked Xiao Hua!

"Director Zhang! The design problem is not big, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to run for so long. I think this production line might have other problems. The specifics can only be determined after the inspection." Listening to Zhang Yi's question, Jia Qing, as one of the designers of this production line, said.

As expected, Xiao Hua and the others quickly found the problem with the production line.

"Director Zhang! The production line problem is indeed not a design issue, but a bearing issue." Saying that, Jia Qing handed over the bearing he held in his hand.

The bearings used in this production line were just ordinary bearings, not high-performance bearings. After all, truly high-performance bearings were difficult to find in a small place like Xian County. Even if they were available, they might be fake or very expensive. Originally, Zhang Yi and the others thought that the bearings on this production line did not need to be high-performance bearings, as the production line's operating speed was not fast, only requiring high precision. But who would have thought that problems would still occur?

"It seems that using ordinary bearings is useless! In less than two hours, the bearings on this production line are already failing." Looking at the bearing in his hand, Zhang Yi couldn't help but say.

However, this was unavoidable. Most of the high-performance bearings in China were imported from foreign countries. There were very few domestic high-performance bearings, and their performance was far inferior to imported ones. At the same time, there was no price advantage either.

"Since this bearing has a problem, are the other bearings on this production line also not good? Let's open them up and see." After looking at the bearing, Zhang Yi found that the production line had only been running for a few hours since it started, but the bearing in his hand already had a large gap, and even iron filings were coming out of it.

Soon, the key parts of the production line were disassembled by them, and at the same time, all the bearings inside were also removed.

After inspection, Zhang Yi and the others indeed found that these bearings all had more or less excessive clearance. It was obvious that these bearings simply did not meet the requirements of this production line.

Since the problem had been found, solving the subsequent issues became much easier. It was simply a matter of purchasing high-performance bearings to use.

However, when Zhang Yi and the others arrived at the largest hardware store in their county, they found that these bearings were already the best ones in their store. If they wanted to buy bearings with higher performance, they would have to go to the mechanical parts market in Zhou Tai City to purchase them.

Left with no choice, the next day Zhang Yi and the others could only rush to the mechanical parts market in Zhou Tai City. Here, Zhang Yi and the others could indeed see various high-performance bearings, including many imported ones. However, the prices, whether for domestic high-performance bearings or imported ones, were very high, but the performance of the imported ones was much better.

For Zhang Yi and the others, of course, the higher the performance, the better. Although his production line produced bicycles, these were not ordinary bicycles. The requirements for precision were simply not comparable to ordinary bicycles, especially for the aerodynamic motor. Moreover, he did not want the events of yesterday to happen again.
