63: Chapter 63 The engineer's crazy actions drove the boss crazy!
Mid-August.
Yaodong District, Xingchen Technology Park construction site.
The main steel frame structure rose from the ground, casting crisscrossing shadows under the sun.
The progress was one-third faster than what Wang Jianguo had estimated.
This experienced chief engineer was now leading his team in three shifts, eating and living right at the construction site.
Meanwhile, twenty kilometers away at the Xingchen Machinery Factory on the East Third Ring Road.
The office door was slammed open.
Old Zhang rushed in, his forehead covered in sweat, clutching a thick stack of orders in his hand.
"General Manager Chen!"
"Orders! They've exploded again!"
He rushed to the desk and slapped the stack of papers onto the desktop with a "slap" sound.
"We're producing over six hundred units a day, and it's still not enough for the distributors!"
"This is the latest statistic; the backlog of orders has already exceeded five thousand units!"
Old Zhang leaned against the desk, gasping for air.
"Huang Dashan is the most persistent one pushing us, saying the display model of the Storm in his shop is almost worn bald from customers touching it!"
"Liu Yuan in Jinling is even more exaggerated, calling three times a day just to ask one question: 'When will the Gale hit the market?' He's already got the money ready!"
Chen Xu picked up the heavy stack of orders and flipped through them casually.
Demand exceeded supply.
He put down the orders and picked up the phone.
"Chen Yi, Chen Er, Chen Si, Chen Shiyi, come to my office."
Five minutes later.
All four of them arrived at Chen Xu's office.
"At the end of next month is the Yu City Motorcycle Trade Show."
Chen Xu leaned back in his chair and got straight to the point.
"What are your thoughts on our booth and the debut of the 'Gale'?"
The office fell silent.
The few of them looked at each other.
Finally, Chen Yi was the first to speak.
"Boss, I think we should focus on showcasing our hard technical strength."
"We can build a fully transparent explosion-proof test bench at our booth and live-stream the nail penetration, fire, and high-altitude drop tests of the super battery."
Chen Er immediately added.
"Yes! And we should release the detailed parameters of the hub motor equipped in the 'Gale' in real-time, especially the peak torque curve and energy conversion efficiency chart, using data to crush all competitors."
Chen Si nodded along.
Finally, as the CTO with the highest technical level, Chen Shiyi made a concluding statement.
"Their proposals are all feasible."
"I suggest that I take the stage to give a presentation, using thirty minutes to explain in detail, from the molecular structure level, our solid-state electrolyte's chemical stability to all guests and media, as well as its mathematical model of ionic conductivity under extreme working conditions."
"..."
Old Zhang stood to the side, his eyelids twitching as he listened, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly.
Nail penetration test?
Torque curve?
Ionic conductivity model?
Is this a product launch or an academic report at the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
He wanted to say something, but looking at these young people with their "we are very professional" expressions, he felt as if an entire universe separated him from them.
Chen Xu finished listening to everyone's "genius plans."
He didn't speak.
He just leaned back in his chair quietly, looking at the people in front of him.
They were the best mechanical experts and engineers in the world.
But their understanding of the market was simply a disaster.
They were using a product manual to attend an industry event.
They didn't understand what brand story, user pain points, marketing rhythm, or viral communication meant.
At this moment, Chen Xu suddenly realized a problem more serious than the production capacity bottleneck.
He himself didn't actually understand it either.
He could rely on the system to bring out epoch-making technology, but a group could never rely solely on technology.
Star Technology, from the boss to the employees, was unexpectedly just a group of craftsmen who only knew how to bury their heads in technology and build things.
This wouldn't do.
This absolutely wouldn't do.
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Xu waved his hand, interrupting their desire to continue in-depth discussions.
"Your ideas are good, but... they need a little bit of optimization. Everyone go back to work first."
The few of them didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave the office.
Old Zhang looked at Chen Xu, his lips moved, but he couldn't hold it back.
"General Manager Chen, those things they said... I didn't understand a single word. But my intuition tells me that if the press conference is really held this way..."
"I know."
Chen Xu stood up and walked to the window, his gaze deep.
He needed a sales professional who knew how to package technology.
Relying on himself to figure it out was too slow.
After Old Zhang also left, he was the only one left in the office.
Chen Xu closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the system.
The familiar tech-blue interface unfolded instantly.
He didn't hesitate at all, directly opening the search box of the [technology library] and typing two characters.
Management.
The interface refreshed.
A row of brand-new categories lit up.
[ Bionic Human (Management Type) ]
[ Lv1 (Supervisor Level): Proficient in team management, capable of effectively executing superior strategies, and improving team execution. Price: 500 technology points/person. ]
[ Lv2 (Manager Level): Proficient in professional strategies within the field, skilled in system construction and channel management, capable of independently being in charge of a department. Price: 1000 technology points/person. ]
[ Lv3 (Director Level): Cross-disciplinary strategic expert, possessing keen market insight and resource integration capabilities, capable of being responsible for company-level strategic planning. Price: 100,000 technology points/person. ]
Chen Xu stopped at a sub-option under [ Lv2 (Manager Level) ].
[ Lv2: Sales Manager ]
[ Ability Description: Proficient in various sales techniques and market strategies, skilled in brand positioning, channel management, and customer negotiation, capable of independently completing the construction of a sales system from 0 to 1. ]
[ Passive Aura: The sales team under their direct jurisdiction has +30% work efficiency and +25% performance conversion rate. ]
[ Price: 1000 technology points/person. ]
Brand positioning!
Channel management!
Sales system construction!
Isn't this exactly what he needs right now!
Chen Xu no longer had any hesitation in his heart.
"System, recharge one million RMB for me."
[ Recharge successful, host's current balance: 1000 technology points. ]
"Redeem one Lv2 Sales Manager Bionic Human, female."
[ Confirm redemption of one Lv2 Sales Manager (female), consuming 1000 technology points, remaining 0 points. ]
[ Does the host need to set a background identity for this unit? ]
"Yes."
Chen Xu had already thought of a draft.
"Set her identity as a sales director at a top domestic marketing consulting firm, who resigned due to conflicting philosophies and was poached by me with a million-dollar annual salary and stock options. Report to my office tomorrow at 9:00 AM sharp."
[ Identity information implantation in progress... Setting complete. ]
[ Management-type Bionic Human G-001 deployment ready, will arrive at the designated location at the specified time. ]
Chen Xu slowly opened his eyes.
The office was empty.
He walked to the window and watched the workers in the factory busy at work.
Chen Xu was full of anticipation.
