Chapter 1281 The Brainpower
Hu Yinglai rolled her eyes at Fu Jingyou.

After all these years, Hu Yinglai has given up on arguing with Fu Jingyou about who is the older brother and who is the younger brother.

If he wants to be the older brother, then let him be.

Hu Yinglai shook her head and said with a smile:
"It's a girl, her name is Aihua."

……

After finishing their business, Fu Jingyou invited Hu Ying to stay for dinner at his home.

When Lu Miao heard that he had a friend over, she came downstairs and chatted with him for a while.

Although Jiang Fan was disgusting, Fu Jingyou had promised Hu Yinglai that he would try to help, and he did indeed start working on the matter afterwards.

It wasn't just because he had promised Hu Ying he would come.

This is because the underlying essence of this matter is to cooperate with the government in handling affairs.

Fu Jingyou had already planned this out.

Even without Hu Ying's involvement, if Jiang Fan had persisted in his pursuit, he would most likely have eventually agreed.

But should I say it or not?

He overestimated Jiang Fan.

This person is not only good at scheming, but also has an extremely strong desire for power and a strong sense of self-interest.

He refuses to relinquish any initiative and only tries to control others to get their cooperation and agreement.

That's really not a very honorable thing to do.

But he himself isn't exactly a person of integrity.

……

On another note, there are two floodgates in Tianjin.

Based on the scale, a total of eight sets of transmission cables are needed.

The outsourcing price was 146,000, which is a very small part of the overall project.

But for Fu Jingyou, it wasn't a small amount either.

Since you're going to give it a try, then do it well.

Fu Jingyou asked Hu Ying for detailed requirements and also requested the parameters of the previous transmission cables.

Afterwards, he took some time to personally conduct on-site research in Jinmen Dam for two days.

When he returned home, based on the data he had collected, he recalculated and deduced the original parameters of the transmission cable from multiple dimensions, including mechanics, motion adaptation, and environmental adaptation.

The calculation result wasn't difficult, but to be on the safe side, Fu Jingyou dared not act rashly.

After repeated calculations and several days of work, he finally settled on the parameters that satisfied him.

But simply calculating the parameters isn't enough; we also need to consider the cost.

Given the current situation, relying solely on the factory's single CNC machine is insufficient to truly begin production.

At least one more stranding machine for twisting multiple strands of steel wire needs to be purchased.

According to his understanding, if the market hasn't changed in the last two years, a qualified heavy-duty stranding machine would cost around 110,000 to 120,000 yuan.

In addition, there are metal building material raw materials and various labor costs...

You wouldn't know until you calculate it carefully, and in the end, you might only get a few dollars.

This is all based on the premise that the production cables are up to standard and the project is secured.

Fu Jingyou capped his pen and looked at the thick stack of draft paper he had written and drawn over and over again.

Startled by the sound of him turning the pages, Lu Miao closed her book, sat down next to him, and asked:

"What's wrong? Still no clue?"

"No."

Fu Jingyou smiled, put down the stack of draft paper, and briefly explained the situation to her.

After listening carefully, Lu Miao said:
“We can give this a try. If we can secure the project, we'll have gained a piece of equipment. If the production quality doesn't match, it's okay if we don't get the cooperation; consider it gaining experience. For the factory to continue developing, it can't rely solely on that one CNC machine. You'll eventually need to expand and acquire other machine tools, big and small.” Fu Jingyou nodded gently, put his arm around her, and smiled, saying:
"I think so too."

Small factories can only survive for a short time. To avoid being eliminated and replaced, they have to expand.

Moreover, professional CNC equipment can be purchased from other factories if you're willing to spend the money.

The reason he has so many avenues for cooperation is largely because he gained an early advantage among numerous private factories.

To continue developing, we need not only to delve deeper into CNC programming technology, but also to equip ourselves with other facilities.

Thinking this way, Fu Jingyou felt a little more at ease.

He smiled and turned to look at Lu Miao:
How have you been feeling these past few days? I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to think about you.

Lu Miao leaned back slightly to create some distance between them, winked at him, and asked with a smile:
"what do you say?"

Lu Miao's face was still pale and bloodless, but her spirits were noticeably better.

It's clear that her recent stay-at-home order and lack of worries has had a significant effect.

Fu Jingyou saw this and smiled slightly as he pulled her into his arms again.
"It's okay if the recovery is slow, as long as there's improvement. The most important thing for you is to focus on getting better and don't worry about anything else."

Lu Miao nodded gently, "I understand."

Although she readily agreed, Lu Miao actually contacted Chen Xiangdong privately once.

It was only because I happened to notice the news that a state-owned detergent factory had gone bankrupt while reading the newspaper a few days ago.

After much deliberation, Lu Miao considered the existing assets and asked Chen Xiangdong to contact someone to see if they could take over that factory.

To this day, their essential oil soaps are still being produced on contracted production lines.

Relying on others is not a long-term solution.

If one day the factory that cooperates with the production line also stops production and goes bankrupt, they will have to scramble to find another partner.

But if they could take over their own factory, this problem wouldn't occur.

Moreover, Lu Miao had carefully read the news reports about that detergent factory.

That factory not only produces soap, but also shampoo.

She had used the shampoo they produced before.

The cleaning ability is good, but she didn't really like the scent at the time, so she switched to another brand later.

Since it can produce, it means that the factory has the corresponding production line.

She's been ill for the past two years, so the company has only been able to release a few new lipstick shades at most.

There were no other independent new products.

It's time to do something innovative...

Although Lu Miao had ideas, she wouldn't force herself to do them despite her physical limitations.

She has always been in a behind-the-scenes role, handling ideas and suggestions and assigning them to Chen Xiangdong.

Chen Xiangdong has been with her for so many years, and he hasn't made no progress at all.

For example, this time, Chen Xiangdong understood immediately.

As soon as she expressed her idea, Chen Xiangdong immediately applied it in a new way, drawing on his previous experience with essential oil soaps.

For example, when taking over a factory, they might also take over the workers.

This would eliminate the cost of producing the formula.

They can then incorporate their own elements into the production process. For example, with shampoo, if Lu Miao doesn't like a certain scent or the general public doesn't like it, they can replace it with something else, and then repackage it to create a new product.

Many brands or factories are failing to survive, partly because they cannot compete with foreign-owned factories.

Another issue is the lack of innovation in both product variety and packaging.

In fact, there is no problem with the product quality.

As for innovation, especially in product packaging, they are extremely experienced.
