Chapter 12: Pier renovation begins
Chapter 12: Pier renovation begins
This news is indeed true. Huayao has placed a large number of chip orders with TSMC. There are at least 9000 million Kirin 1000S alone, and there are also many other chips.
Huayao acted quickly, communicating with TSMC to start production as soon as possible and even adding orders. TSMC actually did so, which bought Huayao a lot of time.
However, this event seems to have happened a lot earlier, at least three months earlier.
It seems that time is running out.
Hu Jiangshan thought about it and decided that the semiconductor production line could be completed in about a month.
However, completion does not mean that mass production can be carried out. The debugging of semiconductor production lines is also very arduous and requires a lot of attempts.
Hu Jiangshan couldn't estimate how long debugging would take, as it depended on the advancement of the semiconductor production line.
So Hu Jiangshan felt quite pressured.
Of course, compared with the development process in the previous life, we should still be more optimistic. After all, Hu Jiangshan is a major variable.
Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.
【Caller ID: Kevin】
Hu Jiangshan immediately pressed the answer button, and Kevin's voice with a slight accent came from the other end.
"Hello, Mr. Hu, do you have time to talk?"
"Yes, of course we have time. Kevin, have you found the construction team?"
Kevin chuckled and said, "Of course, as long as I, Kevin, take action, there is nothing I can't handle."
"That's good. When can we start work?"
"Sir Hu, we can start work tomorrow."
Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and said, "Then tomorrow. By the way, how do you calculate the wages?"
Kevin was very familiar with the small pier on General Island, and he must have already discussed the wages with the foreman.
Kevin said, "Mr. Hu, it costs 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is already discounted."
Hu Jiangshan thought, it’s so damn dark!
Such a small dock, actually there is not much work to do.
But there's nothing we can do about it. Labor is expensive in Hong Kong Island, and construction work is even more expensive. Just doing something a little bit will cost at least HK$100,000.
This is not just about rebuilding a pier. If it is to be rebuilt, it will cost at least one or two million Hong Kong dollars.
A slightly larger dock may even cost over 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although Hu Jiangshan was reluctant, he agreed immediately.
"How long will it take?"
Kevin replied: "About...about a month."
Hu Jiangshan frowned. "One month? Such a short job needs one month? No, ten days. It must be done in ten days. If not, then find someone else."
Kevin immediately said, "Mr. Hu, I don't think it should be a big problem. I'll ask them to hurry up and finish the work in ten days."
"Okay, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Jiangshan waited patiently.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Kevin called again and said that the small pier would definitely be repaired in ten days, with guaranteed quality and quantity, and would definitely give Hu Jiangshan a surprise.
Hu Jiangshan did not comment. Since Kevin said so, he just believed it.
Relatively speaking, Kevin is a very reliable broker.
Of course, you still have to pay enough money.
Early the next morning, Hu Jiangshan went out with the signal amplifier.
Hu Jiangshan has already made an appointment with Kevin that he will take the construction team to General Island this morning to start repairing the small pier.
Of course, Kevin and his friends went there on a small fishing boat.
When Hu Jiangshan arrived at General Island in the Seahorse, he saw that the construction team had already started work.
There were eight or nine people in total, which wasn’t a lot of people, but they were all experienced masters and looked quite skillful.
The leader was called Uncle Gou Ming, a short, fat, bald man in his 50s with dark skin and bright eyes, looking very shrewd.
Hu Jiangshan bought a few cartons of cigarettes in advance and handed them all to Uncle Gou Ming. "Masters, you are so dedicated and have done a good job. We will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Uncle Gou Ming is also an old smoker, and the cigarettes Hu Jiangshan brought are good ones.
Uncle Gou Ming smiled happily: "Okay, don't worry, Sir Hu, we will work hard to ensure the quality and quantity and deliver to a high standard!"
Hu Jiangshan nodded and walked towards the island carrying the box. He just saw Kevin sitting on a rock, wiping his sweat constantly and muttering foreign swear words.
It is really hot today. The sun is shining brightly and people’s faces are burning.
When Kevin saw Hu Jiangshan coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him.
Hu Jiangshan started chatting with Kevin, mainly about the construction plan of the small pier.
The main thing is to repair it according to the previous foundation, and then if there is time, you can build a small wooden house next to it to store some things.
Conditions are limited now, so this is all we can do.
If there is sufficient funding in the future, Hu Jiangshan still decides to build a large dock, or even a port.
This is not just a simple statement of flattery.
After the semiconductor production line is built and can be mass-produced smoothly, chip transportation is also very important, and large ships are definitely needed.
At this time, Kevin looked around and asked, "Mr. Hu, I'm just curious, what are you going to do with this island? Are you going to build a holiday home?"
Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "It's okay to build a holiday home. It's not bad to stay here occasionally for a while."
Kevin chuckled, "That's right, that's right. Sir Hu can also bring a few more beauties to live here and play Deserted Island Survival. It will definitely be fun."
Hu Jiangshan glanced at Kevin. This kid has a lot of clever ideas.
If he were still Hu Jiangshan's original self, he might really adopt Kevin's opinion.
But Hu Jiangshan is not in the mood to do such a thing now. Well, at most he can bring one person over to play Deserted Island Survival.
Kevin added: "Come to think of it, Sir Hu, but it's a bit bad to vacation here."
"What's wrong?"
"There's no fresh water..."
Kevin's words suddenly got stuck and he smiled awkwardly.
Sure enough, Kevin had already known that there was no water source on General Island.
This guy didn't say anything at the time, he was too cunning.
One of the main reasons why this island is so cheap and no one has bought it is that there is no surface water source.
But it doesn’t matter, since the water problem has been solved now.
Kevin looked at his phone and sighed: "The signal here is really bad. I can't make a call at all."
Hu Jiangshan said calmly: "It will be connected soon."
“…Ah? It’s connected? What does that mean?”
Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "It means exactly what it says."
Only then did Kevin realize that Hu Jiangshan was carrying a large box.
"What is this? Sir Hu, a change of clothes?"
"How is that possible? This is something that allows people to make phone calls on the island."
"Huh? This?"
Kevin was confused.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan had already left with the box.
Kevin shouted: "Mr. Hu, where are you going?"
"Lighthouse, come along, I might need your help."
Kevin's eyes widened, he was very curious, and quickly followed Hu Jiangshan towards the lighthouse.
