Chapter 569: After being together for a long time, we are just like sworn brothers

The two devices look not much different from ordinary plotters and engraving machines.

"Don't underestimate this by looking at it from the perspective of an ordinary person. This is something I was inspired by following the advice of an expert..." Wang Defa saw Chen Xi standing there in a daze and thought that the other party had some misunderstanding, so he quickly began to explain the origin of the new product.

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Chen Xi looked interested again.

"Back then, I was participating in an exhibition in a certain country. I got to know a technical genius from Germany very well. We discussed equipment together for three days and three nights... In the end, I made a new product based on his idea. Let me tell you in secret, I got him drunk and got the company's confidential information out of him... It took us three years to develop this equipment, but we have just completed the third test..."

Wang Defa was bragging in all seriousness, and Chen Xi could hardly suppress the smile.

That technical genius from Germany, isn’t that him? This Mr. Wang even changed his nationality from black hair to golden hair. It’s really hilarious.

What about getting people drunk? What about company secrets? He can brag better than me.

Hahaha.

Wang Defa brags so much, I think the equipment is probably a bit watered down.

"Mr. Wang, what's so special about this equipment?" Chen Xi asked, trying not to laugh.

"Let's talk about this new type of plotter first. With the development of motor technology, mechanical technology and computer technology, the accuracy of the control part and mechanical part of the plotter has been greatly improved. Now all manufacturers pay attention to errors. We have achieved error compensation through closed-loop servo systems and feedback adjustments to make the engraving more accurate. At the same time, we have strengthened the adaptability of materials. Most of the materials that can be processed by the plotters include organic materials, soft double-layer materials and various media with a thickness of no more than 1mm, such as reflective film, stickers, car stickers, etc. We knew in advance that Sakura Kuniyama Company was about to launch a new material, and this equipment was specially produced in cooperation with the other party. There are also functions that are not installed. For example, with the development of mobile communication technology and network technology, the plotter has gradually realized networking, supporting remote operation and monitoring, and improving work efficiency and convenience. However, judging from the current network transmission speed, it cannot be realized, so this is still our special idea for the future..."

Wang Defa confidently patted the precious machine in front of him.

New material from Yamamoto?
Chen Xi was shocked when he heard this. People in the advertising industry all knew that Yamamoto was a decades-old brand, and many advertising companies still used their products. If Yamamoto launched new materials and Wang Defa followed closely, if the new materials and equipment performed better than other engraving machines, it would have an impact on the entire market.

Before, Chen Xi thought that outdated equipment like engraving machines would gradually be eliminated, but he didn't expect that Wang Defa would actually come up with an innovation.

In the relatively backward Asia, outdoor billboards are still the mainstream. If the effect of this device is really as amazing as Wang Defa said, then it will be...

"Why, are you surprised? I didn't expect that I could really develop a new device. Let me tell you about my inkjet printer. We have obtained support from other companies to improve the piezoelectric technology and nozzle performance. The on-demand ink supply technology and continuous ink supply technology, as well as the optimization of the nozzle design and control system have enabled the equipment to achieve a very high printing speed. It also uses a low-energy motor and nozzle system, as well as recyclable ink materials, to reduce the impact on the surrounding area..."

Wang Defa's words are very useful.

Outsiders may not be very clear about what happens when an inkjet printer is printing. When Chen Xi was a child, he often played in an advertising company. The inkjet printer would be placed in a separate large room, and the air conditioner would be turned on to dissipate the heat of the machine and quickly dry the ink.

However, the ink smell emitted by the inkjet printer when printing is very pungent, not to mention in the same room.

Normal people can't stay there for long, but they have to check the production of advertisements all the time. Employees of advertising companies usually wear masks and open the door, but the smell will spread to all parts of the company under the effect of air conditioning, which is really overpowering.

There is also what Wang Defa said about improving printing efficiency. Generally, each advertising company only had one inkjet printer because the cost was too high. The equipment cost several million dollars, and that was in the 1990s.

The number of advertising images that a printer can print out every day is very limited, and the company often loses orders because customers are in a hurry to get the products.

This is why Yin Anwei's family received business from Chen Xi's advertising company.

That means I can't do it, so I'll let my younger brother do it.

"What about the engraving machines? Why are there only two types?" Chen Xi looked around and saw several devices covered with waterproof cloth.

"That...that...engraving machines require high precision, high efficiency, and versatility. We have introduced high-performance DSP motion control technology, such as 32-bit single-chip microcomputers and drive motors. The supporting software system is also constantly upgraded to provide richer engraving modes and parameter settings, making operations more flexible and convenient. However, this precision issue is also related to materials. You know the mainland's Huade Company, it excels in this area, but its software is not as good as ours. So far, our materials are obtained in cooperation with a German company, but the numerical values ​​are not ideal, so we are currently powerless with the new engraving machine..." Wang Defa lifted the waterproof cloth on the side, and there was an unfinished device underneath.

Looking at the dust on the waterproof cloth, Chen Xizhi knew that JMM had also been developing it, but might have given up halfway, so this device had been ignored for a long time.

"I just heard you mention Huade. Mr. Wang seems to be very familiar with Huade." Chen Xi suddenly wanted to look up and asked.

"More than familiarity, the CEO of Huade is simply unethical. We went to the mainland with great enthusiasm to open up the market. It is said that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, but Chen Yifeng insisted on dominating the market. He is simply too overbearing."

Wang Defa gritted his teeth in anger when he thought about this.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Chen Xi did not ask about the equipment anymore, but changed the subject.

In order to meet the needs of customers and criticize competitors at the same time, Wang Defa said, "When we went to the mainland to open up the market, we established a brand called Woodpecker. The engraving machine is shaped like a bird, isn't it very descriptive? At that time, we were ranked second in the mainland, and when we were about to become the first, the president of Huade actually came up with a bunch of new brands, and then put labels of those new brands on all of Huade's equipment, and then started a price war. They relied on their familiarity with the local market and fast after-sales service, which directly caused our sales volume to plummet. That's fine, but Chen Yifeng is not honest. After these brands became famous, he started using domestic materials, so the quality was definitely not as good as before, but he claimed that it was shipped from Germany. Those customers also knew it, but the price was really cheap, so they didn't expose it..." Wang Defa kept denouncing Chen Yifeng for fraud and using tricks to suppress competitors.

"It seems that this person is indeed a little dishonest." Chen Xi nodded in agreement.

He had no idea about these things because Chen Yifeng always acted like a gentleman in front of him.

"That's not all. Let me tell you, this guy..." Wang Defa found out that Chen Xi supported him, so he started complaining again, wanting to pour out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

Haha, this Wang Defa is really funny.

I was bullied by my father, so I ran to the other party’s son to complain.

If he knew my true identity, I would be doomed.

Luckily he couldn't remember who I was.

"Well, this approach is indeed a bit unwise. However, the competition in the mainland market is very fierce, and it is difficult to stand out. You also started a price war at the beginning, but this is only effective temporarily. After a long time, you will be suppressed by others..."

"That's right. Competition is fierce in every industry in your mainland. It all comes down to the large number of people. I wonder how many equipment Mr. Chen wants to order this time?" After Wang Defa chatted with Chen Xi for a while, they returned to the main topic.

"Of course I need a lot, but I don't know if you can supply it."

Machine tool equipment generally has a limited annual production volume. Chen Xi's family used to have three factories in Xinlu, but the production volume still could not meet the market demand. However, engraving machines can be shipped in large quantities.

"We still have a lot of inventory, but there may be some problems with maintenance. Mr. Chen, you said that graphic stores are all over the country, but we have limited manpower here. Even if we send all the maintenance personnel from the mainland, we still won't be able to handle it..." "I will plan the provinces to be responsible for according to the number of your employees. We also have maintenance personnel in our company. We will purchase the damaged parts from you at the price..."

"This……"

Wang Defa began to hesitate after hearing this. He had such a big order in front of him, but he could not take on the subsequent maintenance project, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, it is not easy to train a maintenance worker, as he must be familiar with all types of equipment. If we train maintenance workers in large quantities and the other party stops buying equipment later, it will be troublesome for these people to be dismissed. The cost of training is ridiculously high.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Defa finally nodded in agreement.

"So, does Mr. Chen plan to purchase this new equipment?"

"Of course I will buy it, but you have to demonstrate it to me first, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, sorry, I forgot about this. These two devices have not completed the final test yet... You operate them and show them to Mr. Chen." Wang Defa pointed to an employee next to him.

The equipment was quickly powered on and running, and the workers placed the materials on the machine and operated it on the computer.

The effect is just as Wang Defa said before, the odor of the inkjet printer is indeed much smaller, and the durability and appearance of the engraving machine have reached a very high level after using new materials.

"What's the price of this new material from Yamamoto?" Chen Xi picked up the materials on the table and looked at them left and right.

In his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to these things, because Huade had basically given up the production of equipment such as engraving machines in the later period. One of the reasons was that the profit was too low and he could only make money by quantity.

“It’s more than 20% higher than the old material.”

"It's too expensive. Customers don't care about durability. They would rather spend money to have it redone. Stores close so quickly nowadays, there's no need to worry about fading."

"Indeed, but this material has a feature, which is that it can reflect light during the day and has a fluorescent effect at night. Advertising is all about spreading the word, so the door sign must be clearly visible to others."

"That makes sense, but it's a bit far-fetched. If we can get the price of the materials down, then this new equipment will still be useful. Do you mind if I take some samples back to have a look?"

"No problem at all. We still have a lot of these things. We'll give you some when you leave. But this equipment..." Wang Defa looked at Chen Xi nervously, because the other party's words just now showed that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the equipment.

"Yes, I will buy one of the new equipment and try it out. Please give me a few more rolls of materials. This stuff is not available outside. If the merchant is willing to use the new equipment, I will purchase a large number of them."

"Okay, okay. I'll ship the goods directly to your company." Wang Defa changed the address and directly changed "you" to "you".

"Mr. Wang, I wonder which company the technical genius you mentioned before belongs to. Why don't you recruit him to your company?" Chen Xi looked at the other party with a smile.

"Ah... He is German. He doesn't want to develop here. You know, the treatment in Europe has always been very good, and there are medical benefits..."

"Yes, then let's discuss the specific purchase matters."

"Please come, please come. You have been here for such a long time, but I haven't made you a cup of tea yet. I am really neglecting you. You must try our local specialty - Dongding Oolong Tea!"

Wang Defa made a gesture of invitation, and bent his waist as low as possible.

In the shopping mall near JMM company.

"Shanshan, do you think my dress looks good?" Ma Zhongyuan turned in front of the mirror wearing a light green long dress.

She has a cute appearance and her dressing style is fresh and clean, which is completely different from Zhao Lingshan's mature and elegant style.

The clothing store was cleared out, leaving only the clerk and the two women.

"It looks pretty good. How come Chen Xi hasn't come back yet?" Zhao Lingshan's mind was obviously not on shopping.

"Look how worried you are. It's only been a short time since we last met. Don't be afraid. My dad is the district chief. Who would dare to attack my friend? I have sent people to protect him. Don't worry." The smart Ma Zhongyuan saw what Zhao Lingshan was worried about at a glance.

"Shanshan, don't you want to buy some clothes? I see that what you wear is quite mature. Do you want to change the style? Men should like novelty." Ma Zhongyuan put a set of clothes in front of Zhao Lingshan and gestured.

In the past, Zhao Lingshan dressed similarly to Ma Zhongyuan, but under the influence of her mother, her dressing style gradually became more mature.

When she heard what Ma Zhongyuan said and thought of the cute Saori, she also had some ideas.

"I didn't expect your underwear to be so sexy. I always wear cartoon-style underwear. Do you wear it just for your boyfriend to see?"

"Yuanyuan, stop touching me, just touch yourself."

In the fitting room, Ma Zhongyuan played a prank on Zhao Lingshan with a wicked smile, which made the other person blush.

"Did you do that with Chen Xi? Was it comfortable? When I was studying in Tuao, the girls around me slept in the same bed with their boyfriends every day..."

"I...I..." Zhao Lingshan was a little confused by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Wow, you two are not in a spiritual relationship, are you? Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that men don't have much interest in the bodies of their childhood sweethearts, after all, you grew up together. I heard that the relationship between men and women who grew up together is like that of brothers. It's like a couple who have been together for more than ten years, just like sworn brothers." Although Ma Zhongyuan has never been in a relationship, he has watched a lot of TV dramas and surfed the Internet.

"Ah? No wonder... That's what I told you..." Zhao Lingshan was stunned at first, and then she started talking to herself.

No wonder Chen Xi has not touched her until now. It turns out that he has grown up with her as a brother... (End of this chapter)
