Chapter 235 Mobile Phone Production Line
Zhonghua Group R&D Center.
The engineer testing the phone was holding it with a slight tremor in his hand. He looked up at Lin Zhou, who was standing at the front, and his voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"President Lin, it's a success! Zhonghua mobile phones have been successfully developed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire laboratory erupted in cheers that had been suppressed for a long time.
Several engineers, their eyes bloodshot from exhaustion, slammed their fists on the table, and one of them even took off his glasses to wipe his eyes.
After months of tireless work day and night, and countless revisions, everything has finally come to fruition at this moment.
Lin Zhou stepped forward, picked up the still-warm phone, and ran his hand over the smooth casing, a wave of emotion washing over him.
From having nothing to producing a complete portable mobile communication terminal, he and his team forged a path through sheer hard work.
The appearance, structure, chip layout, battery, signal reception, interaction logic... every part was built from scratch.
He suppressed his emotions, looked at the crowd, and spoke in a calm but firm tone:
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work! Your bonuses will be doubled this month."
"But this is only the first step in our success. Next, we need to move it from the laboratory to the production line."
Vice President Chen Dongsheng immediately stepped forward, his face beaming with excitement:
"Mr. Lin, I've been overseeing the preliminary preparations for the production line for almost half a month. We have contingency plans for the equipment list, factory construction, and personnel training. As long as you give your approval, we can start immediately!"
"Okay." Lin Zhou nodded. "I'll give you three months. I want to see the mobile phone production line running."
"Yes, Mr. Lin, I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Chen Dongsheng straightened his back.
Su Wanqing approached with the test report in her hand and said softly:
"A-Zhou, there's also the matter of patents."
"My legal department and I have done a preliminary count, and the whole machine involves a total of 47 core patents."
"From the exterior design, internal structure, circuit board layout, and antenna solution to the user interface, power management, and signal processing, everything is our own original creation."
"Therefore, we must register simultaneously in major domestic and global markets as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy for others to take advantage of us."
When Su Wanqing learned that Lin Zhou had returned to the mainland, she immediately took her son and flew here.
She has been managing the industrial park here for some time now, after all, she has been the head of the industrial park in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, and has a wealth of management experience.
Lin Zhou took the report and quickly flipped through it, his eyes scanning the list of patents one by one.
Forty-seven items, no more, no less, just enough to create a moat for a groundbreaking product.
He nodded to himself inwardly; Su Wanqing was meticulous and had considered things more thoroughly than he had expected.
"Wanqing, I'm entrusting you with leading this matter. The legal department and the R&D department will fully cooperate with you."
Lin Zhou raised his head. "I want to submit applications simultaneously in China, Europe and America, and Southeast Asia. I want Zhonghua Mobile to be protected by the rules from the day it goes public."
"Okay, I understand!" Su Wanqing replied solemnly.
Old Zhou, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but step forward and sigh:
"Xiao Lin, I've been doing research and development all my life, and I've never met anyone as bold in their thinking as you are, and as capable of putting their ideas into practice."
"This phone, when taken out, not only domestically, but even compared to the major international mobile phone manufacturers, it wouldn't be inferior in the slightest!"
Lin Zhou smiled:
"Mr. Zhou, this is not my achievement alone; it was developed by everyone together."
"You meticulously crafted the internal structure of the phone, millimeter by millimeter, optimizing its size and weight."
"You've repeatedly fine-tuned the battery life and signal strength to achieve a leading position in its class... These are all thanks to your collective abilities."
His few words warmed the hearts of everyone present.
Following General Lin means you won't waste your brain or your people.
In the days that followed, the R&D center went into full-speed operation.
Chen Dongsheng and his production team spent all their time in the factory, personally overseeing every step of the process, from customs clearance for imported equipment to installation, debugging, and calibration.
Lin Zhou was very satisfied with Chen Dongsheng's organizational and coordination skills; he was the one in charge of the overall situation when the industrial park was being built.
So after part of the park was completed, Lin Zhou transferred him to the production department to work and set up the framework as soon as possible.
The construction of the production line is far more complicated than imagined. High-precision patching, casing stamping, screen bonding, battery assembly, whole machine testing... any problem in any link will affect the mass production schedule.
That noon, Chen Dongsheng, covered in dust, stormed into Lin Zhou's office, plopped down, and began to speak:
"President Lin, the first production line is operational! We just ran fifty prototypes, and the yield rate exceeded 92%, fully meeting mass production standards!"
Lin Zhou put down his pen: "Is the equipment stable? How quickly are the workers getting used to it?"
"Stable! The engineers sent by the foreign equipment we purchased were stunned, saying that our construction speed was half as fast as they expected."
Chen Dongsheng chuckled.
"The workers are all highly skilled, and many of them were trained in the factory in Yuen Long. After getting familiar with the production line here, they are very proficient in operating it."
"Then let these experienced people mentor the new ones, and after another half month of adjustment, we can start large-scale production."
Lin Zhou nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. I'm relieved that production is stable."
Almost simultaneously, under the onslaught of money, good news also came regarding patent registration.
Su Wanqing walked in carrying a stack of documents, a relaxed smile on her face.
"Ah Zhou, many countries that recognize international patents have already formally accepted your applications."
"More than a dozen countries and regions, including Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, have also submitted their applications, and the process is going smoothly."
"Forty-seven patents, covering the entire industry chain of the whole machine, others can't get around our barriers even if they want to copy them."
Lin Zhou opened the document and looked at the densely packed patent numbers, feeling completely at ease.
In this era, technology is the power of discourse, and patents are a shield.
With this safeguard, Zhonghua mobile phones can truly go global.
"Well done." Lin Zhou praised sincerely, "Wanqing, you are truly my capable helper! You have once again helped me stabilize the situation."
Su Wanqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly:
"Of course."
"Now that the three major issues of R&D, production, and patents have been settled, the next step is to let the world know about Zhonghua mobile phones."
Lin Zhou leaned back in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the table:
"I've already decided. I'll hold a global product launch event, inviting all the influential media and distributors from home and abroad to showcase our products in public."
Chen Dongsheng's eyes lit up:
"President Lin, this is a grand gesture! A global launch?"
"Yes." Lin Zhou's tone was firm.
"Our mobile phones were never intended for domestic use only from the very beginning."
"If we're going to do it, we'll do it world-class. The press conference will be held at the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, and the date is set for a month from now."
