306: A tour of the workshops

"This lithography machine modification is a matter of practice makes perfect. We gained experience when we directly modified the 2.0 Lithography Machine last time. We prepared the parts in advance, installed the semi-finished products, and then directly installed them onto the lithography machine, and it was successful." Li Zhaolong already had a lot of experience with lithography machine modifications, and when he spoke, it was based on experience.

"You are getting better and better! Has the production efficiency greatly improved now?" Liu Xiaolin praised, giving a thumbs up!

"Haha, the production efficiency has indeed improved a lot. Let me tell you, I can't praise myself, but I still have to commend our R&D personnel. They are all diligent and hardworking employees, and I greatly appreciate them. But I heard you gave bonuses to the lithography machine Production Workshop and the Sales Department, and only our Chip Production Workshop didn't get any, which means our work isn't quite up to par yet. Haha." Li Zhaolong said with a laugh.

How smart Liu Xiaolin was. As soon as he heard it, he knew Li Zhaolong was hinting at him for giving bonuses to other departments.

"Oh, I was in a hurry that day and forgot to tell Professor Li about the 500,000 bonus for your workshop. See, as soon as I got back to the company, I came directly to find you, just to tell you this news." Liu Xiaolin immediately seized the opportunity to give the Chip Production Workshop a bonus.

The reason Liu Xiaolin gave the Chip Production Workshop a 500,000 bonus was that there were a quarter more R&D personnel here than in the lithography machine Production Workshop, so proportionally, 500,000 was about right.

"Really? You were indeed in too much of a hurry that day. I didn't even have time to say a word to you, and you left." Li Zhaolong said with satisfaction. Since Liu Xiaolin had proposed giving a bonus to the Chip Production Workshop under his management, he no longer argued with Liu Xiaolin.

"Now, immediately have Xiao Wang or Xiao Liu print a payment application. After I sign it, you can go to the Finance Department to collect the funds." Liu Xiaolin seemed even more anxious than Li Zhaolong.

This made Li Zhaolong even more satisfied: "Okay, I'll have Xiao Liu go print it. To be honest, I wouldn't take a single cent of the bonus, but I can't let the team I lead feel undervalued."

"No, no, no, how could I not value your R&D team? I value them very much." Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

Three minutes later, Xiao Liu walked over with the newly printed payment application: "General Manager Liu, Professor Li, the payment application is printed."

Liu Xiaolin took the payment application, took the pen from Li Zhaolong's hand, and quickly signed his name.

"It's signed. Go to the Finance Department to collect the funds." Liu Xiaolin handed the signed payment application to Xiao Liu.

"Xiao Liu, hurry and go." Li Zhaolong also said.

Xiao Liu took the payment application and left happily.

Liu Xiaolin looked at the smiling Li Zhaolong and thought to himself how lucky he was to react quickly, otherwise, it would have been troublesome to anger Professor Li. That was close.

"Professor Li, you're busy. I still need to go see other workshops." Seeing that everything was going smoothly here, Liu Xiaolin naturally didn't need to wander around aimlessly anymore.

"Okay, you go ahead. I still need to keep an eye on the production data." Li Zhaolong said, waving his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaolin turned and walked out, heading straight for the lithography machine Production Workshop.

The lithography machine Production Workshop was still bustling with activity at this moment. The R&D personnel and technical workers cooperated seamlessly, clearly having achieved a high level of coordination.

"General Manager Liu, you're back?" Zhuang Wuya and Lu Yifan were watching the technical workers install mechanical arms. They looked up and saw Liu Xiaolin, and quickly greeted him.

"Yes, I just went to see the Chip Production Workshop, and then I came here." Liu Xiaolin said, nodding.

"You're worried about our installation speed, aren't you?" Zhuang Wuya smiled: "Don't worry, we're getting more and more experienced. This time, we've divided into several groups to install parts of the components separately. As long as the parts are in place, we install them immediately. We install whatever components we have parts for first, unlike before where we rigidly waited for every single step. The speed has increased significantly."

"Oh? Does this mean the components can be installed a bit faster?" Liu Xiaolin listened excitedly.

"I can't be sure if it will be faster, but preparing more batches of components will save more time for the next step," Lu Yifan said.

"Understood. The idea is to assemble as many components as possible first, so they can be used readily later, right?" Liu Xiaolin understood immediately.

"Exactly, that's the meaning. There are too many parts for our lithography machine, and the time required has already been compressed as much as possible. About ten days is already the fastest efficiency." Zhuang Wuya said.

"Okay, I understand. I was a bit too anxious," Liu Xiaolin said awkwardly.

"It's alright, it's alright. I understand how you feel," Zhuang Wuya said.

"Alright, you guys stay busy. I'll go visit other workshops." Seeing that the Chip Production Workshop and the lithography machine Production Workshop, which he was most concerned about, were both running smoothly, Liu Xiaolin thought about how he hadn't visited Jiantuan Electronics' original processing workshop for a long time.

Although the original processing workshop was self-contained, it wasn't quite appropriate for the Headquarters to visit often, as it might seem like he didn't value those workshops, potentially leading to complaints from the workshop personnel.

As expected, when he walked into the processing workshop, the management and R&D personnel there were very surprised.

"General Manager Liu, you haven't been to our processing workshop for a long time. I thought you had forgotten about us having this processing workshop," the Director Yao said.

"How could I forget? I come to check on your production status whenever I have time. I read your reports every day," Liu Xiaolin said while walking and looking around. "Besides, your processing workshop has long had a mature workflow. Whether I come or not, you can all do a great job, and I don't need to worry."

"That's true. Whether or not a leader comes to check on our processing workshop, we all work diligently and never slack off just because there's no leader," the Director Yao said very proudly.

"Exactly, exactly. You are all experienced employees, and you are very proactive in your work. I've always known that." Liu Xiaolin said, while worrying that they might find out about the bonus he just gave to the Chip Production Workshop.

Although he had given out generous bonuses, it was because those three departments had indeed made significant contributions. If the processing workshop also asked for a bonus, he definitely wouldn't agree, after all, they were just working according to the established procedures, how could they be given an extra bonus?

"No, I shouldn't wander around anymore. I should leave quickly." Thinking this, Liu Xiaolin spoke up: "Knowing that your processing workshop is doing very well, I am relieved. You all continue to be busy, I'll go visit other departments."

The Director Yao, who had already received verbal praise from the Boss, did not know Liu Xiaolin's thoughts and still said happily: "General Manager Liu, I know you are busy. I will be very happy if you have time to visit our workshop in the future."
