Chapter 172 I'm Not Afraid, What Are You Afraid Of?

Zhuang Ziqing's unannounced farewell caught Yang Huan by surprise.

After making a phone call to inquire, Zhuang Ziqing said that something urgent happened at home and he could no longer work here.

Yang Huan saw that she had made up her mind to leave, so of course she wouldn't force her to stay, because Zhuang Ziqing's departure would at best make him one less person to call on, that's all.

The legal counsel of WeChat company has been re-appointed.

And Zhuang Ziqing didn't really involve any core secrets during this period of time.

On the contrary, she still hasn't received her salary for more than a month, which is nearly 200,000 yuan.

Yang Huan also specifically asked if she needed help, and she said no, and she felt very sorry for her sudden resignation.

It came very suddenly, and it left very suddenly.

But what can be done?

People are still in the probation period, and there is no formal contract, so they can't be forced to stay, right?

Then again, everyone is gone.

"Forget it, let's go, it's just a pity for my four golden flowers!"

Originally, Yang Huan was still thinking that he had to find an opportunity to show off the four golden flowers, Zhang Ning, Zhuang Ziqing, Lin Yuner and Horikita Maki, who were beside him.

But Yang Huan didn't affect his mood because of Zhuang Ziqing's departure. Isn't he a prettier employee?

More importantly, he is really busy.

On the second day of the Haitian Feast, Stewold McEntire, CEO of Sunseeker Yachts, came to China with the company's core management team and participated in the Haitian Feast.

During this period, on behalf of Yang Huan, he signed a luxury contract for 50 yachts with the Yang Group. The total amount is very staggering, and the transaction amount will exceed ten digits every year in the next five years.

Once the contract was signed, the entire Haitian feast was immediately detonated.

Everyone was shocked by this amazing deal, and the official Haitian Feast also felt very proud, and held a huge press conference to promote this deal grandly, and let Sunseeker Yachts be exposed to the media again. .

With this press conference,

McEntire also solemnly announced that the construction of Sunseeker's manufacturing base and R&D center in Longhai City will start, and it is expected to be officially put into use in a year.

"This will be the world's top and most professional yacht manufacturing and technology research and development base!"

At the same time, McEntire also announced a brand-new superyacht project from Sunseeker, named [Zeus].

"The Zeus project is an important plan we have developed for all high-end customers. The most important point of this plan is the high degree of personal customization of customers. In the most popular way, it is!"

McEntire's remarks immediately caused an uproar among journalists and professionals familiar with yachts below.

Now even the yacht has started?

"We will provide all customers with the maximum customization service by integrating relevant technologies, on the premise of ensuring safety and quality, including the yacht's superstructure, interior structure and layout, plywood design, etc., even if the conditions If allowed, the powertrain will also be moderately released for customization.”

Now all the world famous yachts basically do not give too much freedom in personal customization, and even they will take very tough measures to force customers to bow their heads, because they are famous brands.

But this time, Sunseeker's private order is to provide customers with the best and highest quality products and services.

"The name of this program is Zeus, which means, our client is God!"

McEntire's remarks and this plan of Sunseeker yachts not only aroused strong repercussions in the field of yachting in China, but were also concerned and discussed by countless colleagues around the world and the yachting industry.

Because under this program, customers will gain a great deal of autonomy and participation in the design and construction of a yacht, which is unacceptable for other luxury yachts.

Coincidentally, Aston Martin also announced on the same day that the Zeus private customization plan will also be launched next year, with the simultaneous launch of three new models, allowing customers to truly participate in the customization process of the car, and encourage customers to play infinitely. their imagination of the car.

"We will set up official flagship stores in China's capital, Longhai and other first-tier cities in the next year, and each flagship store will be equipped with a genius, who may be from our company's design team, or we old employees of the company."

"What we can promise is that these geniuses know every model and every service of Aston Martin, and they will provide all customers with the highest quality consulting services and professionalism face-to-face in each flagship store. Opinions to ensure the success of Zeus's private order."

Dr. Ulrich Bates, who made a special trip from the UK to China to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Aston Martin automobile manufacturing base in Longhai, also had very high expectations for private customization.

As for why it was not launched before, Ulrich Bates explained to reporters that it was because the technology was immature.

"In the past six months, we have invested 20 million pounds in the research and development of various technologies, and we have restarted various research and development that have been interrupted in the past few years, including a new intelligent platform, which makes private customization become possible.”

As for the acquisition by capital from China, Ulrich Bates said that Aston Martin will usher in unprecedented development opportunities.

"The main reason why we put our first overseas manufacturing base in China is that China is the most powerful and developed country in the world's manufacturing industry, and we will integrate the most efficient supply system and industrial chain here. ."

"Certainly, we have no idea of ​​a complete withdrawal from the UK, not now and not in the future."

"The Gayton headquarters will continue to operate as before, all our employees, teams will be as usual, and even the R&D department will hire more design and R&D talents."

"And we can promise that, relying on China's strong manufacturing and industrial chain, coupled with our Aston Martin's consistent strict quality requirements and quality control capabilities, our quality and service will not decline, but will greatly improve. increase in magnitude.”

At the scene, a reporter from the United States stationed in China asked whether Aston Martin chose to enter China, whether it valued the Chinese auto market, and when the salary of Chinese labor was low, Ulrich Bates denied it.

"If anyone is still saying now that he entered China because of low wages, he doesn't understand manufacturing at all."

Ulrich Bates answered his opinion very frankly.

"Before our boss Mr. Yang invested in Aston Martin, I didn't have much impression of China's manufacturing industry. I learned more from newspapers. I also thought that the reason why the manufacturing industry here is developed is because of low wages. ."

"But later, Mr. Yang told me that you should go to my motherland to take a good look and investigate."

"In less than half a year, I brought my team to China for inspection three times, and I found that there are more engineers, a more flexible workforce, and a large number of supporting factories that can immediately increase production capacity. the entire industry chain.”

"You need to customize special screws, turn left when you go out, you need tires, turn right when you go out, you need aluminum alloy wheels, walk two blocks ahead, whatever you want, it's all here, and you can find it very quickly, and it's there Provide it to you in the shortest possible time."

"But in the UK, we need to order from overseas, ship to Southampton on a cargo ship, and ship from Southampton to Guyton. How long does the whole process take? How much is the waste?"

"Our new factory needs thousands of industrial technicians and employees. When I visited, I said that it will start next year, whether to start recruiting now, because in the UK, to recruit so many technicians, it will take at least a year or so time."

"But people in China told me, no, it can be done in three weeks at most."

"I was stunned at the time, you know? What we may not be able to do in a year, in China, we can do it in two to three weeks."

"That's why we came to China!"

Ulrich Bates, as a highly respected figure in the automotive industry, said what he said was indeed a bit shocking.

Especially when there is widespread prejudice against Chinese manufacturing at home and abroad.

Listening to his tone, it is simply to regard China as a dream paradise for manufacturers.

For the various practices of Ulrich Bates, Aston Martin and Sunseeker Yachts, there is praise and support in China.

But abroad, there are two common voices.

One is support, thinking that going to China, where the manufacturing industry is the strongest and most complete, is in line with the trend.

For Aston Martin and Sunseeker, it is also the best way out of the predicament.

But there are other voices who think this is a conspiracy by Chinese investors.

Some even believe that the UK manufacturing bases of both companies will be announced to close in the near future.

But as soon as such remarks appeared in the media, Aston Martin and Sunseeker Yachts responded immediately, announcing that they would recruit another 500 and 300 employees respectively to cope with the increase in production capacity of the two companies.

This also makes the latter statement self-defeating.

Back to Haitian Feast.

Entering the fourth day of the exhibition, Sunseeker once again welcomed a heavyweight guest.

That is the British national treasure-level architectural design master, Norman? Foster!

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of many domestic media reporters and fans.

Norman Foster has designed the cabin structure and interior decoration layout for Sunseeker Yachts before. This time, he made a special trip to China for the platform of Sunseeker Yachts. He also came to discuss two business deals with Yang Huan.

"Master Huan, I took the group to the site for inspection."

On Yang Huan's yacht, Norman Foster felt a headache about the project he was about to take over.

"It is really difficult to build a large football field and a top luxury hotel at the confluence of the Test River and the Ichin River."

Needless to say, the football field, Yang Huan's request is to follow the standards of Camp Nou and the Bernabeu.

That is a football field that can accommodate 100,000 people. How big does it have to be?

There is also a hotel, which is not only a hotel, but also a yacht club and a yacht marina. Helicopters must also be parked on it. Centered on these two landmark buildings, a sea-crossing bridge is used to connect Southampton and Iraq. Nutley on the north bank of the Solent Strait on the east bank of the Chin River, and Hayes on the south bank of the Solent Strait.

Just looking at it this way, the project does not seem to be amazing. After all, China has more super projects that are more shocking than this one.

But the problem is, Southampton is the largest cargo and passenger terminal in the UK.

That is to say, in these two major projects, as well as under the bridge across the river, it is necessary to be able to drive large freighters and passenger ships.

In addition, the construction of football fields and hotels has to consider issues such as transportation, water, electricity, and sewage, and football fields have to consider ventilation effects.

This is pretty tricky!

"Norman, seriously, if it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't be interested in doing it!"

Yang Huan was not polite to him at all.

"I want to work on these two projects to make the impossible become a reality, just like the Dubai people have built such an oasis in the desert, and I want to make everyone amazed by these two projects."

Norman Foster felt that it would be no exaggeration to say that if it did become a reality.

After all, the straight width of the Solent Strait is only three or four kilometers.

"I do my best!" Norman Foster also felt that this was a challenge.

"Don't worry, Norman, since I believe you can do it, then I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?"

Norman Foster shook his head and laughed.

Yes, the big money owner is not afraid, what is there to be afraid of?

"However, Young Master Huan, I still have a request." ()
