Chapter 1520: Benchmark
No bodyguards, no outsiders, no other nonsense.
There were only Li Zitao who was driving the car, Jia Bao who was sitting in the co-pilot, and Lilith who was in the back seat.
End a morning of fun trip.
At noon they chose to have dinner at the Golden Arches, and then they were going to send Lilith to school.
"The air here is much better." On the way here, Jiabao noticed that the air and environment had greatly improved.
Li Zitao is ordering food with Lilith, "I want three hamburger set meals, and another glass of Coke... By the way, there is also my favorite cone."
"Have you noticed the various instruments in the roadside soil?" Li Zitao pointed to the machines in the roadside soil outside and said, "They are used to detect the air."
"Every change is logged, and someone comes in three times a week to make sure it's working, gather information ... $65 each."
"What?" Garbo said incredulously, "Who will pay for this?"
She was so surprised because the machines were everywhere, and at $65 each, that was a lot of money.
"What do you think?" Li Zitao said amusedly.
Who else would have paid such a large sum of money for this, except for him, who had been taken for a ride.
Washington, the state government, those politicians?
With their pitiful salaries, they need their own sponsorship to get a new car, so don't make things difficult for them.
"Maybe you should do more things like this, after all, you have a lot of money." Lilith was quite supportive of this.
"Li's Real Estate's investment in environmental protection is increasing by 5% every year. Forests and land are what we care about most."
Hearing what she said, Li Zitao and Jiabao looked at each other in blank dismay; "I thought you stopped paying attention to the company's affairs for a long time."
"Just looking at it casually." Lilith said as she tore the beef in the hamburger; "Those meeting briefings, financial statements... are clearly written in them, aren't they?"
Li Zitao was startled at first, then smiled proudly and said, "That's right, they recorded it very clearly."
In fact, it is not easy for someone who is not involved in the operation of the company to draw such detailed conclusions from the minutes and presentations.
But for Lilith, it was even more surprising to the point of unbelievable.
"Lilith, I actually talked to your mother." Li Zitao looked at her and said seriously; "We think that when you enter university, you can get in touch with the management of the company again."
They thought this news would make Lilith excited, but what they saw was shaking their heads in rejection.
"No, I refuse." Lilith said with certainty.
"Why?" Li Zitao and Jia Bao asked puzzledly, didn't she have been waiting for this opportunity?
"I want to have my own time in college. The company's affairs are well managed by the management, so I don't need to do it myself."
Lilith's growth is remarkable, she is understanding who she is, a leader, not a pawn who does everything herself.
"Very well, this is what you deserve. Let's talk about other things later." Li Zitao pressed her hand and said; "But it will always be yours."
Just after Li Zitao finished speaking, Jia Bao beside her obviously relaxed her tense body. As a mother, some things and thoughts are out of her control, and it has always been like this...
During the conversation, he ate pills for a meal, Li Zitao cleared the table, and the three of them got into the car and headed towards the school.
"I wish you a pleasant afternoon." Li Zitao stuck his head out of the car window to say goodbye to her.
Lilith raised her hand without looking back, and waved it as a response.
"A good start, isn't it?" Li Zitao looked at Jiabao with embarrassment and joy.
Garbo smiled at his optimism, at least as he put it, it was off to a good start.
Just how long it can last, Garbo has no hope for it.
two weeks!
It took longer than anyone expected, the length of his stay in Los Angeles.
During this period, Li Zitao visited the new design and finalization of Skunk, participated in the important discussion meeting of the team, and visited the new production line.
Automated assembly lines are spreading from the automobile industry to the whole society.
In Skunk's new factory, the semi-automated assembly workshop has been officially put into use, which greatly reduces personnel costs and reduces the risk of production.
In addition, the production speed and quality are also strengthened, which is the most satisfactory place for the management.
"The Swiss are one step ahead in automated precision machining. I really don't know what the companies in our country are doing. Are they all drunk?"
Although very satisfied with the production line, the Skunk was severely slaughtered by the Swedes in terms of purchase price.
What business is best to do?
Monopoly, monopoly, monopoly!
These two words will never be outdated. No matter what time it is, the monopoly business is the best and the most profitable.
Donimac, a manufacturer of multi-station combined machine tools established in Sweden, has a monopoly position in micro-precision machining.
It is unrealistic to break this monopoly in the short term. All they can do is to try to lower the price by relying on the order volume.
It's just that the effect of this method is limited. Donald, who led the team to visit and negotiate, was so angry that he is still a little unhappy.
"Okay." Li Zitao clapped his hands and said; "It is impossible for us to gain an advantage in all fields. What you have to do is to do what you are doing well."
"In addition, I heard that the Italians intend to compete with the Swedes in this respect." Speaking of this, Li Zitao smiled; "Although they are funny on the battlefield, they still have great potential in terms of creativity. "
"Hopefully their inspiration can become a reality soon, I don't want to deal with those arrogant Swedes again."
Amidst Donald's complaints, the exchange meeting came to an end.
"Johnson." Called Kelly Johnson to leave together, "Are our orders still saturated?"
"Yes." Johnson said affirmatively; "Although it has declined compared to the war period, the profit has also increased. There is no difference."
"Yes." Li Zitao nodded and said, "I just need you to guarantee one thing, quality."
"Every product sold by you must be a perfect boutique, and no mistakes in design or production are allowed. We are the industry benchmark."
Kelly Johnson smiled confidently: "We are."
Excellent service and product quality are not only the standard and benchmark of the United States, but also the object and goal that various industries around the world are vying to emulate.
"By the way." Johnson suddenly remembered the upcoming event, "Hughes plans to hold a party in the near future, so that everyone can relax."
Li Zitao thought for a while and said, "Do you want me to sponsor a case of beer?"
What, this is not the answer he wanted.
Since when did your boss lose interest in parties?
