116: Formulate ideas for developing new products

The media acted very quickly. Soon, whether it was print media or electronic self-media, news of the Xiao Hang Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle signing a large order was everywhere.

Moreover, the contract cover appeared in every news report, and the two words "civilian" were being promoted everywhere. It seemed the red envelopes given to each reporter were not wasted.

Liu Xiaolin looked at the news gleefully, finally resolving the knot in his heart.

The signing of this contract not only resolved the knot in his heart but also came with an extra large order. Truly, good things come in pairs.

"General Manager Liu, what are you smiling about? So happy!" Shi Hangtian came over and asked, looking at the stunned Liu Xiaolin.

"Haha, have you seen the news about our Xiaohang Drones?" Liu Xiaolin asked with a smile.

"Of course I've seen it all, but I'm not as happy as you are. I inspect the workshop every day and found a small problem," Shi Hangtian said, frowning.

"Ah? What problem?" Liu Xiaolin was so startled that he shot up from his seat.

"Go to the workshop and see for yourself," Shi Hangtian secretly smiled when he saw how scared Liu Xiaolin was.

The two quickly walked a few steps to the workshop.

They saw the workers in the workshop operating in an orderly manner, with no abnormalities at all.

"General Manager Shi, I don't see any problems. Tell me what's going on?" Liu Xiaolin was getting a little anxious.

"It's true that the workers are all working diligently, but don't you notice that their morale isn't very good?" Shi Hangtian said, pointing at the busy workers.

Liu Xiaolin followed Shi Hangtian's finger and looked over. He saw some workers busy with their hands, but their eyes looked like they could barely stay open. Some were coughing incessantly, and some occasionally wiped the cold sweat from their faces. Looking closely, the workers' condition was indeed very poor.

"How could this be? Is our workshop environment not good? But before starting work, our workshop environment was tested and found to be safe, without any formaldehyde," Liu Xiaolin said in surprise.

"That's not the reason you think. It's because our order volume is too large, time is tight, and the tasks are heavy. The workers have been working overtime continuously; many haven't had a single day off in a month, and they don't dare take sick leave for fear of delaying production. Therefore, our workers are currently suffering from fatigue, which is very detrimental for the long-term future," Shi Hangtian said, frowning.

"What should we do then? We can't stop production! But we also need to take care of the workers' health," Liu Xiaolin said with difficulty.

"I'm thinking we should increase the number of workshops and workers. This way, the daily output will increase exponentially, the workers won't have to work overtime, and we can complete the orders we have in about two years. During this time, we also need to develop new civil unmanned aerial vehicles, to develop civil unmanned aerial vehicles that can be closer to people's lives, hoping that Xiaohang Drones can enter thousands of households," Shi Hangtian expressed his thoughts.

Since cooperating with Liu Xiaolin, he has greatly admired the other party's ability, but Liu Xiaolin tends to take one step at a time. This approach lacks foresight and is unfavorable for long-term development.

He could only use his own management experience to communicate with Liu Xiaolin and push him to work harder.

But he couldn't say too much; he hoped Liu Xiaolin could think more and consider the second and third steps after the first.

After listening to Shi Hangtian's suggestion, Liu Xiaolin pondered for a while. Once he figured it out, he suddenly felt enlightened.

"General Manager Shi, let's hold an executive meeting now! The theme of the meeting is to develop new civil unmanned aerial vehicles!" When Liu Xiaolin said this, his eyes were firm and his expression was serious!

Yes, they needed to develop Xiao Hang Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that would enter people's lives and make the civilian aspect a reality.

"Also, we need to cooperate long-term with Southern Selection and have Dong Yuhui specifically promote the civil unmanned aerial vehicles produced by our domestic private company," Shi Hangtian was very happy to see that Liu Xiaolin understood his idea and further reminded him.

"I understand what you mean. Southern Selection, as a popular live-streaming sales company, mainly focuses on food and daily necessities. By promoting our drones, they are classifying our products as daily necessities, right?" Liu Xiaolin really understood things quickly.

Shi Hangtian smiled with satisfaction: "Alright, you can answer ahead now!"

A few minutes later, the executives gathered in the company conference room.

After an hour and a half of debate, discussion, and suggestions, everyone wore a smile.

Liu Xiaolin sat together with Shi Hangtian. The two looked at each other and nodded.

"It's decided! We are going to develop such a civil unmanned aerial vehicle!" Liu Xiaolin stood up and said loudly, "That is the latest model of the Xiaohang Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle! We will remove some functions based on the Xiaohang Drones to make it suitable for genuine civilian use."

"Furthermore, to allow everyone to recover their energy, we will have two days off this week so that everyone can rest well and have the strength to work properly," Shi Hangtian announced.

"Oh, that's great! Finally, I can get two days of good rest. I haven't rested for a month," Zhang Weichen said happily.

"Time off? Will it affect production?" The newly appointed Director Yao Zhou Jingwei was a little anxious, after all, so many orders hadn't been completed.

"Don't worry, we will add a new workshop, and then the daily output can be doubled. Everyone won't have to work overtime every day," Liu Xiaolin announced another piece of news.

"Add a new workshop? Is there enough time?" Zhou Jingwei couldn't believe it.

"There's enough time. The new workshop can be installed during the two days off, and work can start as soon as the workers are back," Liu Xiaolin said.

"But there are still the same number of workers. They can't split into two to operate the equipment," Zhou Jingwei raised a new question.

"We have already recruited a batch of workers and they have all completed their training. At that time, new and old employees will be cross-assigned to positions, and production can get on track as soon as possible," Shi Hangtian said.

Shi Hangtian had long felt that relying on a single workshop was unreliable, so he had been urging the Minister of Human Resources to recruit workers and having the R&D Department personnel train the new workers, precisely so they could start working sooner.

Planning ahead is the winning strategy for a good entrepreneur!

"I believe that once the Xiaohang Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is released, no one will say our drones are military anymore!" Liu Xiaolin thought happily, "Military drones are really something we shouldn't get involved with."

He was frightened by the Great Bear Country's military exercise videos. Although these videos promoted Xiaohang Drones, they branded the private company as a military-industrial enterprise, which was very frightening.

Therefore, to make everyone realize that Xiaohang Drones are indeed civil unmanned aerial vehicles, they could only release pressure on the previous technical parameters. Developing the company towards a safe zone was the current important development route for the company.

"Tonight, I still have to negotiate with the Strongest Manufacturing System!" Liu Xiaolin promised that the new workshop would be successfully installed within two days, so of course, he could only rely on the system!
