"Everyone, please take a look. This is the sample electronic locker we've developed!"
Ye Meiyun pointed to two lockers and introduced them.
"It's made from carefully selected cold-rolled steel plates, possessing strong compressive resistance, meaning it's not easily damaged."
"Simultaneously, its core is an integrated circuit chip, located right here!"
Ye Meiyun indicated a small, square window in the center of the locker, where a faint red light was blinking.
"This integrated circuit chip incorporates the most advanced scientific research technology, along with a high-tech control system co-developed by our small team. It boasts exceptional security and privacy."
"Now, I will demonstrate it for everyone. Please watch closely!"
Ye Meiyun then began the demonstration herself.
"There are two buttons here, labeled 'Store' and 'Retrieve.' 'Store,' of course, means putting items inside!"
Under many gazes, Ye Meiyun gently pressed the 'Store' button. With a 'click,' a small square iron door on the closed locker sprang open, revealing a dark storage space within.
"This space isn't large, but it's not small either. It's enough for us to store our everyday backpacks or small items, providing great convenience."
As she spoke, Ye Meiyun picked up a cup from the podium, placed it inside, and then closed the small iron door.
A "sizzling" sound could be heard, and a small strip of white paper was ejected from the blinking red window, printed with four numbers.
"Everyone!"
Ye Meiyun tore off the small piece of paper and walked towards the audience.
"Please look closely. The four numbers on this paper are the randomly generated password for this electronic locker. Now, we just need to input these four numbers in sequence and press the 'Retrieve' button, and the small iron door will open."
Ye Meiyun returned to the podium and, following the numbers on the paper, entered them one by one, finally pressing the 'Retrieve' button.
"Click!"
A crisp sound rang out again, and the previously closed small iron door quickly sprang open, revealing the water cup that had just been placed inside.
In the audience, except for Qin Chuan, Li Chunsheng, and Xu Ronghua, everyone else's eyes widened in shock.
After a few seconds of silence, someone, it was unclear who, started clapping. Then, thunderous applause erupted, with every face filled with intense excitement.
It was amazing!
This was true high-tech, a genuine reflection of what an electronics factory should be.
"Boss, you are all too talented! How did you come up with this?"
"Yes, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed it."
"This is what a real electronics factory should look like. Unlike our past, we were just a simple OEM factory, nothing else!"
"Boss, can we try it ourselves?"
The crowd chattered excitedly, their faces filled with enthusiasm and anticipation.
Qin Chuan watched the reactions of the crowd with a smile, very satisfied with the outcome.
"Of course, you can. Anyone who wants to try, please come forward!"
"This thing isn't that delicate. Feel free to mess with it however you like!"
Upon receiving Qin Chuan's instruction, many people surged forward, crowding around the two electronic lockers, their eyes sparkling with eagerness and curiosity.
They looked like children who had just received a novel toy.
Qin Chuan, Li Chunsheng, and Xu Ronghua, seated below, exchanged glances and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
"I'll go first!"
"I'll go!"
"Let's put this cup back in again and see which small iron door it opens this time!"
In front of the electronic lockers, fingers vied to press the 'Store' button. As it was pressed, another small iron door sprang open.
Everyone placed the water cup inside again and closed the small iron door.
"Now it's time to press 'Retrieve'!"
"What are you in a hurry for? Haven't you seen the password hasn't been printed yet!"
After the password was printed, they all read it together: "2...4...5...8"
Click!
The small iron door that had just closed sprang open quickly, delighting many.
"Boss, this thing is too magical!"
"I think our product will definitely sell well!"
someone shouted excitedly.
A long time later, after everyone had tried it, they finally returned to their seats.
However, the atmosphere this time was completely different from before. Everyone's spirit seemed to have been ignited, and their eyes were shining.
"Alright, everyone, please speak freely and share your thoughts on the electronic lockers."
Xu Ronghua said with a smile.
As the deputy factory director, he was in charge of many matters and was qualified to speak.
"There's nothing much to say, just two words - amazing!"
"It's truly high-tech, Deputy Director. How did you all come up with the idea to undertake this electronic locker project?"
"Yes, we are all very curious!"
Hearing this question, Xu Ronghua felt a little awkward and finally touched his nose, saying, "The idea for the electronic locker was first proposed by our boss!"
"After discussing it with Director Ye, they felt this project was very feasible, and then they brought me and Director Li in to participate."
"We two were responsible for the technology, and they provided the funds. It was that simple."
Everyone suddenly understood and looked at Qin Chuan, who sat calmly in his seat, their eyes filled with deep admiration.
Such a miraculous and ingenious idea, they thought, was something only the boss could come up with.
"I have a question!"
Suddenly, Jiang Wanpeng raised his hand.
"Supervisor Jiang, please speak."
Ye Meiyun gestured.
"We just saw that the way to open the locker is with a four-digit password. But what if a customer accidentally loses the password?"
Hearing this question, the four of them exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Wanpeng, as the supervisor of the technical department, indeed had a unique perspective and had asked the same question that Qin Chuan had once asked.
"It's simple. Our control system has a master control. If a customer truly loses their password, it can be retrieved through the master control."
Ye Meiyun replied.
"Then, what is the probability of our control system malfunctioning?"
Jiang Wanpeng continued to ask.
This time, it was Li Chunsheng's turn to answer: "We've calculated it with computers. On average, there's a possibility of one error occurring for every one hundred thousand uses."
This error rate could be considered very low, one in a hundred thousand, and even then, it was only a possibility.
"I have no more questions. All I can say is, our product is truly amazing!"
Jiang Wanpeng gave a thumbs-up and returned to his seat.
His remark made everyone laugh.
The atmosphere in the conference room was joyous.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down!"
Ye Meiyun knocked on the table and announced loudly, "I now declare that starting today, all departments will focus on the development of the electronic locker!"
"Our Xinhua Electronics Factory is in its infancy. Whether we can be revitalized and regain our glory depends on how well we fight this battle!"
"Deputy Director Xu!"
"Here!"
Xu Ronghua stood up.
"The most important integrated circuit boards and chip materials for the electronic locker will be your responsibility! You must prepare them in advance. Once our machine qualification rate improves, we will begin mass production!"
"Yes!"
Xu Ronghua accepted the order.
"Zhang Haiyang!"
Ye Meiyun called out another name.
"Here!"
A lean man stood up; he was the supervisor of the planning department.
"I'm giving you three days to lead your team and create a detailed marketing plan!"
Ye Meiyun said.
"Yes!"
Zhang Haiyang sat back down.
"Ge Lan!"
"Here!"
"From now on, quickly have people investigate whether anyone in our country has developed similar electronic locker products to date."
"Yes!"
"Liu Shengli!"
"Here!"
"Have your administrative department cooperate as much as possible with the liaison between departments. Absolutely no mistakes are allowed!"
"Yes!"
Qin Chuan sat in his chair, with his legs crossed, quietly watching Ye Meiyun methodically arrange one task after another, feeling very pleased.
This proved that his decision was correct; Ye Meiyun was very suitable for the position of factory director.
Previously, at the Ziguang Electronics Factory in Shicheng City, Ye Meiyun was the general manager, holding a high position with considerable authority, and often issued commands.
Now, she was handling the position of factory director with great ease.
Everything was proceeding perfectly according to his plan, because Qin Chuan had never intended to actually take on the role of factory director himself, dealing with all sorts of messy matters every day.
If he did, he would never dare to establish so many businesses; he would be worked to death.
He intended to be the behind-the-scenes Boss, manipulating everything from the shadows, cultivating a qualified spokesperson for each industry.
Only in this way could he enjoy a leisurely life, earning money and relaxing at the same time.
Otherwise, like a robot, busy with one thing after another every day, what would be the point of life?
