36: Finalize product packaging

Liu Xiaolin suddenly remembered the issue of the Factory Director's Assistant candidate and felt it was a good opportunity to mention it to the Old Factory Director.

"Uncle Wang, I have a good candidate to be your assistant," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Oh? Who has earned your favor?" Wang Shengjun was very interested.

"Zhao Rui from the Comprehensive Department!" Liu Xiaolin said excitedly.

"Him? Isn't he a bit too young?" Wang Shengjun said, frowning slightly.

"Aren't we supposed to be nurturing young people?" Liu Xiaolin said with a smile, "Besides, I'm even younger than Zhao Rui, and haven't I been constantly learning and improving?"

"What you said is right, nurturing young people is more beneficial for the future development of Jiangnan Machinery Factory. Young people can keep up with the times and seize opportunities," Wang Shengjun said.

"There's no need to decide now. Let's observe more and see if there are other suitable candidates," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Alright, being cautious is better. I will observe Zhao Rui more closely recently. If he is indeed suitable, we will use him directly," Wang Shengjun said.

The two chatted while drinking tea, and time passed quickly.

In the middle, Liu Xiaolin's phone vibrated. It was a message from Dong Yuhui: "Yijiangnan Private Kitchen, Elegant Room 206, six o'clock in the evening."

Liu Xiaolin calmly replied, "Received, see you there."

Seeing Liu Xiaolin looking at his phone, Wang Shengjun feared disturbing his work and prepared to get up and leave.

Although he was chatting with Liu Xiaolin here, he was constantly thinking about the situation in the workshop.

Liu Xiaolin looking at his phone just gave him an excuse to leave for the workshop.

"I see you're quite busy, so I won't talk anymore. I still need to go check on the workshop. It's almost time to finish work, and I need to look at the afternoon's production data," Wang Shengjun said, walking as he spoke, without waiting for Liu Xiaolin's agreement.

Liu Xiaolin knew he couldn't stop him. He thought, he's rested for half the day, so let him go look. I'll go with him too.

"Please wait for me, I'll go with you to take a look." Liu Xiaolin stood up and followed Wang Shengjun's steps.

The two quickly arrived at the workshop. The machines were still roaring, and everyone was sticking to their equipment, completing their respective processes.

"General Manager Liu, Deputy Factory Director Wang, you've both come," Qi Qingan came over to greet them after seeing the two.

"How is it? No problems, right?" Wang Shengjun asked with concern.

"Everything is going smoothly. Every process has quality inspection, and finished products undergo test runs. Technical parameters are strictly controlled. So, the quality of our 1.0t engine is excellent!" Qi Qingan said proudly.

"Our first batch order is for 5000 units. Once production is complete, they will be packaged immediately and then shipped," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Right, we must print a few eye-catching words on our packaging: 1.0t engine!" Wang Shengjun said, "Also, all the parameters should be listed in the manual. This is like a second advertisement."

"These tasks should be done by the Procurement Department, right? We haven't seen Minister Yang show us the design for the outer packaging yet," Liu Xiaolin was reminded.

Before he finished speaking, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Yang Xiaoxia calling.

"Hello, Minister Yang."

"General Manager Liu, where are you? I went to your office but didn't see you," Yang Xiaoxia said on the other end of the phone.

"I'm in the workshop. Is there anything you need?" Liu Xiaolin said.

"I need to discuss the outer packaging design with you. When will you be back?"

It was truly a case of 'think of something, and it appears'. Just as they were talking about the outer packaging, Yang Xiaoxia wanted to discuss this very issue with him.

"I'll head back now," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Deputy Factory Director Wang, Minister Yang said she wants to discuss the outer packaging design. You have experience, so please come with me to take a look," Liu Xiaolin still wanted to bring Wang Shengjun back to the office.

Wang Shengjun also attached great importance to product packaging, so he naturally agreed.

The two hurried back to the office.

Yang Xiaoxia was waiting at the door. Seeing the two return, she followed them inside.

"General Manager Liu, here are three outer packaging designs provided by the advertising department of the carton factory we've cooperated with for many years. Which one would you like to choose?" Yang Xiaoxia handed Liu Xiaolin a document.

"Okay, let me take a look first." Liu Xiaolin took the document and started looking through it with Wang Shengjun.

"This design isn't very good. The font isn't large enough, and it's not aesthetically pleasing. Pass."

"This design is just average, conventional, and lacks any distinct features."

"Deputy Factory Director Wang, take a look at this design. I think it's good. The font is nice and very eye-catching. Below, there are technical parameters, providing a comprehensive introduction." Liu Xiaolin was not satisfied with the first two design options, but the concept of the last one was very consistent with their requirements from earlier.

"Yes, I also think it's good. This is the one." Wang Shengjun was also very satisfied.

"Okay, I'll contact the advertising department of the carton factory right away," Yang Xiaoxia said.

"Has the design for the manual come out?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"The manual is just a thin booklet. Please take a look." Yang Xiaoxia took out a sample manual and handed it to Liu Xiaolin.

"Hmm, it's not bad, simple and elegant. This is it." Liu Xiaolin felt that a manual should just be simple and elegant, there was no need for it to be flashy.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from outside the door.

"The afternoon's production data has been compiled!"
