Chapter 198 Competition
Bailey looked calm on the surface, but his restless hand movements still betrayed him.
Evan had almost harsh requirements for his company's first TV. Since Bailey jumped to take over the project, the design plan they gave was beaten back three times in Evan. If other details were added, there were countless people who were criticized. Almost every group in the project team had received ruthless criticism from Evan himself.
Only those who are in it can truly understand the pressure that Evan brings to the project team. The consequence is that in less than three months, the project team will have resignations. It is not that the person is fired, but that he cannot stand the pressure and leaves voluntarily.
However, even so, Evan still did not make any changes. Or, this was exactly what he wanted.
Evan firmly believes that high-level products can only be produced in high-demand environments. What he needs is a research and development department that strives for excellence, and does not need to be a person who can just live a slut.
Evan had actually known most of the content of Bailey's report today, but he still asked a few questions on the spot.
The questions are targeted not only by the R&D department represented by Bailey, but also the marketing department that helps the R&D department conduct questionnaires.
Everyone answered Evan’s questions one by one.
Finally, Evan stood in front of the second prototype, stroked the pattern of the wooden shell with both hands, and said expressionlessly:
"Now it seems that No. 2 (prototype) is the most popular, and it represents our highest level in both design and technology."
"Willes, how long will it take if it is mass-produced?"
Hearing Evan's question, Bailey showed joy and turned his head to his immediate boss.
Wells nodded to Bailey, but did not forget to answer Evan's question: "According to the advance preparation, as long as the relevant suppliers do not lose their chains and the labor force in Los Angeles does not have a gap, it will take thirty days."
"Then do a good job as a supplier." Evan turned around, looked at Wells and Carl, and said: "Supply chain management needs to be paid attention to. Unlike companies such as Magic Seven, the number of suppliers in Applied Physical Systems companies is one order of magnitude more. Any problem with any supplier may affect our product quality and output."
"Well, forget it, let's talk about it later..." Evan nodded at Bailey: "Belly, thank you for your hard work."
Bailey waved his hand and said, "Not hard, not hard at all."
"How could it not be hard!" Evan smiled, and he patted the machine with his right hand, saying, "How could he make it without hard work?"
"Today's theme is to determine our first product. You have given the answer, and I agree with this result."
"Thank you all this time, Bailey, please arrange a time and I will celebrate with everyone from the R&D department."
"Really? Evan, then I have to plan a good plan." After more than half a year of contact, Bailey's understanding of Evan will naturally not be limited to work. As far as he knows, Evan rarely attends parties, so he can ask him to celebrate together, which shows how satisfied he is with the TV project team.
The motivated Bailey naturally would not miss this opportunity. At this moment, he had already planned the celebration party in his mind.
Bailey asked, "Evan, do you have any requirements for time?"
"No!" Evan said: "Of course, it's better to arrange it in the time I have time."
Bailey thought for a while and asked, "Tomorrow is the weekend, so how about tomorrow?"
"Of course, it's OK..." Although the weekend is Evan's rest day,... attending a celebration party is not a job, and Audrey shouldn't have any objections, "But, I'm a little anxious... Can you arrange it in time?"
Bailey said confidently: "No problem, come here..."
"If you don't believe me, please ask everyone..."
Bailey said this, and immediately a person from the R&D department came out happily and said, "That's right, BOSS, just come."
I will never let this opportunity to get close to BOSS.
After a mess, the meeting finally continued.
Spencer's microwave project team was not as concerned or urgency as TV projects, but Evan did not relax his requirements.
The prototype of the microwave oven has been successfully built for a long time, but it is not very practical. It has many problems, not only high energy consumption, but also large machine, but also has not good heating efficiency. In order to solve these problems, the project team invested a lot of time, money and manpower.
"After testing, the new magnetron and control circuit have increased its power by about 30%, basically meeting the practical minimum requirements."
Spencer's report was another good news, and Evan didn't hear the news in advance, so he was a little surprised.
Obviously Spencer was going to surprise Evan.
At the end of the report, Spencer asked: "Evan, the magnetron has met the requirements. The large microwave oven you mentioned before for the kitchen, I want to try to start, okay?"
Evan did not agree immediately and asked, "Can the manpower be distributed?"
Spencer said: "No problem."
Even if there is a problem, Spencer will not say it out now. Seeing that the TV is about to enter mass production, his own group is still doing technical research and development, Spencer is competing.
As the head of the same large group, Spencer doesn't want it to be much different.
Evan saw a trace of dissatisfaction flashing through Spencer's eyes. After a moment of silence, he agreed to Spencer's request.
Spencer breathed a sigh of relief when he achieved his goal. Now he could easily attend tomorrow's celebration party.
The next day, Evan showed up at Santa Monica Beach with Audrey.
Time is tight, and Bailey and his colleagues discussed it and simply opened the party here.
Sunshine, beaches, waves, women in conservative swimsuits, and cold drinks are the main elements of today.
Although bikini swimsuits that are both fabric-saving and eye-catching have been invented, they are not accepted and recognized by the public. Although they are sold on the market, almost no women dare to wear them in front of the public.
Evan expressed some regrets about this.
"Evan... come here..."
Standing in the water, wearing a black swimsuit, Audrey, holding her hands on a white surfboard, waved to Evan on the shore, "I want to give it a try."
Evan was stunned, and the water droplets on Audrey's face shone on the sunlight, filling her smile with charming magic.
"Come soon!"
After coming back to his senses, Evan immediately ran towards Audrey.
