Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 202 Evaluation

In the evening, Director Huang invited Wen Qing and the shareholders to have dinner together. The wine they drank was Changxia Qingniang. Director Huang brought back two boxes of wine and told the people in the cafeteria that the machinery factory would only use Changxia wine to entertain guests from now on.

Wen Qing became a shareholder of Ping'an Machinery Factory. She once again convened a meeting of the factory's technical staff and introduced to them the design points, various spare parts and required production conditions of electric bicycles. She explained each item in great detail. After she finished, the technicians seemed to have opened a door and discovered that bicycles could be modified in this way.

He Weixing, who used to be an engineer and is now the deputy director and chief engineer, said: "There are several difficulties in producing electric bicycles. The first is the special battery, the second is the motor, and the third is the bicycle frame, chain, tires, etc. We can produce the bicycle chain and flywheel ourselves, but we just need to change the model and specifications. This is not difficult. How should other problems be solved?"

Wen Qing said: "I know that the batteries produced by a company called Changfeng Battery Factory in Dongyue can meet our needs.

As for the motor, you can ask the motor factory to make it custom-made. Also, the braking system of the electric bicycle is completely different from that of the ordinary bicycle. This one adopts the holding brake, which has better braking performance. The brake pads also need to be customized from the manufacturer, and other parts can be purchased from outside.

The controller can only be produced by ourselves, but of course we can still use our existing production lines to produce frames, saddles, chains, and flywheels ourselves.”

He Weixing: "Okay, Xiao Wen, you list the parts needed for the electric bicycle. Xiao Zhao, Xiao Qin, the two of you help Sister Wen."

Wen Qing is now the deputy director of Ping'an Machinery Factory. Director Huang assigned her an office. She arranged for two young technicians, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Qin, to break down the design drawings. The three of them re-examined the structure of the electric bicycle and disassembled all the parts according to the mechanical and electrical parts.

The mechanical part consists of components that are found on ordinary bicycles, most of which can be produced by their factory or they already have fixed supply channels. The electrical part is the innovation of electric bicycles. The list of parts was given to Director Huang and He Weixing, and they discussed together which ones to purchase from outside and which ones to produce by themselves.

Wen Qing called Director Pang of the Changfeng Battery Factory and told him that Ping'an Machinery Factory was quite interested in their factory's batteries and was going to send someone to inspect them, and hoped that he would give them a good reception.

Director Pang was very happy. He spent more than one million to buy Wen Qing's technology and was now trying to develop it in the market. Wen Qing introduced clients to him, which was something he was very happy about. He immediately promised to receive her friends well.

He Weixing personally led the team to Xieyang, mainly to check whether Changfeng’s battery met the needs of electric bicycles.

The production of electric bicycle frames is not complicated. It is just a matter of cutting the steel pipes short and welding them into shape. The same goes for the handlebars. After forming, various parts are installed. The flywheel of the electric bicycle only needs to adjust the parameters. The controller is a little more complicated. Wen Qing draws the circuit diagram, and he can purchase electrical components from the factory and assemble them himself.

The technical department and the purchasing department did not simply buy things, but made them according to the design requirements. They already had some relationships with the parts manufacturers, so the required samples were obtained quickly.

While Ping'an Machinery Factory was installing and modifying the equipment, Wen Qing also modified her design in a timely manner and recorded the production process to facilitate future training.

He Weixing stayed in Xieyang City, Vietnam Province for three days and hurriedly returned with ten batteries, just in time for the first batch of electric bicycle prototypes to roll off the production line.

Wen Qing installed the battery on the bike and pressed the ignition switch. The electric bike started successfully. Wen Qing rode it for a few laps and then asked Director Huang, He Weixing and Quan Heng to try riding it respectively. Everyone's reactions were very delightful.

After all, not many people can afford cars nowadays, and even motorcycles are not popular yet. When electric bicycles are driven by electricity, they feel like motorcycles, and the riding speed is about 2 to 3 times that of ordinary bicycles.

The prototype was successfully made, and its performance was unexpectedly good. Director Huang's confidence in the market prospects of electric bicycles increased greatly.

Based on the production process and equipment list sorted out by Wen Qing, he ordered the corresponding equipment and also adjusted the existing production equipment. Through this transformation, some of the original manually operated production links were changed to automated production, and the use of lathes, milling machines, grinders, drilling machines and welding machines was increased.

For this production line to be fully automated, we still need to wait for the development of computer technology and the production of automated equipment.

By the time the production line at Ping'an Machinery Factory was installed, Wen Qing had been out for more than two months. Wang Jianguo called and urged her to go back as soon as possible to participate in the national selection of famous and high-quality products.

Changxia Liquor easily passed the municipal famous and high-quality product selection. As the only strong-flavor liquor in Pingjing, it participated in the national famous and high-quality liquor selection. This is a major event related to the future development of Changxia Liquor Industry, and Wen Qing is also worried.

She emphasized some key production links to Factory Director Huang and the technicians, then bought a train ticket and went directly to Taiping City, Shanxi Province, to participate in the national famous wine competition.

It was already the day before the selection when Wen Qing arrived in Taiping City. She went to the hotel to meet up with the main group.

The wine submitted by Changxia Winery is Changxia Special Brew. Wang Jianguo has already sent the wine and information to the judging committee. The next day, the leader of the unit where the product is produced will give an on-site defense.

Wen Qing read through all the information overnight and asked about the process of the city-level famous and high-quality product selection so that she could have a clear idea of ​​the process.

The next morning, Wen Qing put on a thin women's suit and stood on the stage to report the Changxia Special Brew to the judges and answer questions raised by the judges.

Wen Qing's humble, confident and natural speaking style left the judges with a good impression of Changxia Winery. However, according to the results announced a few days later, Changxia Special Brew lost to the China Famous Wine Gold Award by a small margin and only won the Silver Award.

According to the judges' feedback, Changxia Special Brewing is still too young compared with the first-class famous wines, but compared with other local famous wines, Changxia Special Brewing performs very well in all aspects, allowing Changxia Wine Industry to continue its efforts.

Liu Quan and his team were very disappointed with the result, but Wen Qing was not discouraged. He privately found the experts on the jury and humbly sought advice. The experts also pointed out the shortcomings of Changxia Special Brewing, which was mainly due to the lack of strong cellar aroma and a slight lack of fusion of various aromas. They also encouraged them to keep working hard.

Changxia Special Brew won the silver medal, which basically met Wen Qing's minimum expectations. She also knew that Changxia Winery had only been established for ten years, and winning the silver medal was already a very good result. She knew that the road ahead was long and she was not in a hurry.

After returning to the capital, Wen Qing gave Liu Quan 50 yuan and asked him to purchase the eight famous wines that won the gold medal this time as the cellar of Changxia Wine Industry in the future, mainly purchasing vintage wines and strong wines.

Soon, batches of famous liquors were transported back to Changxia Winery. Wen Qing had them all put into the underground wine warehouse. The underground wine warehouse adopted traditional methods and tried to maintain a constant temperature and humidity, so the liquor could be stored there for a long time.

At that time, Moutai was only 20 yuan a bottle, but 30 years later it rose to more than yuan a bottle, an increase of dozens of times, which is higher than the profit from buying a house.

Last year she asked Wang Jianguo to buy a batch, and this year Liu Quan bought another batch. Wen Qing looked at this warehouse and felt secretly happy.

Speaking of investment, Wen Qing also wants to buy a house in Songjiang or Pengcheng. The cash in her hands will depreciate if she doesn't use it.

After returning to Erxia Village, Wen Qing held a celebration banquet for all employees of the factory and gave everyone a bonus of 500 yuan. Several key backbones received 2000 yuan, which exceeded the year-end bonus. The enthusiasm of employees throughout the factory was high, and they strived to achieve even better results in the selection of famous and high-quality wines five years later.
