The name "Ice Soul NN7" was given to this small SUV assembled in the factory by Li Zhi. The reason for choosing this name is purely personal preference, whatever comes to mind. This is because the car is equipped with an intelligent control drive system called 'Ice Soul 1.0', which maximizes the smoothness of the car's performance in all aspects, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the vehicle.
This car, from the engine to the tires, and even the body metal, is not produced by the Ice Heart Car Factory. The Ice Heart Car Factory is merely an assembly plant.
However, the cars assembled using Li Zhi's modified equipment have differences from cars produced by other companies.
This is because the assembly production line at Ice Heart Car Factory, modified by Li Zhi, has been optimized by the 'Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory' system. The same car, with identical parts, can experience a twenty-five percent performance improvement when assembled by the Ice Heart Car Factory's production line.
"Go and test the car's performance!"
Li Zhi asked the professional mechanic at the factory to conduct a thorough inspection of the car, from top to bottom, and the final results were very satisfactory.
"Please inform all factory employees that every staff member at Ice Heart Car Factory has the opportunity to purchase a car." The market price of 'Ice Soul NN7' starts at 99,000 yuan, and internal employees can purchase it for an additional 20,000 yuan using the 'six-year overdue wages'. Of course, this is voluntary. If they are not willing to buy, they can wait for the factory to clear the overdue wages within three years!
Li Zhi called Huang Zhongtao and mentioned that this was merely a suggestion, and it was ultimately up to the factory employees if they were interested in purchasing it.
"Boss, isn't this price a bit too low?" "Even if the six-year overdue wages are added together, it may not amount to 80,000 yuan," Huang Zhongtao hesitated and said.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Consider it an internal discount." The people in the factory may not necessarily be willing to accept it!
Ice Soul NN7 is a compact SUV, and its production cost is relatively low, totaling just over 10,000 yuan.
"Produce a thousand cars first, and then we'll see the market's response!" After assigning the production tasks, Li Zhi left the Ice Heart Car Factory.
He spent almost the entire month living and eating in the factory. Zhuge Meili called several times to urge Li Zhi to schedule a meeting with Dong Yingshu, but Li Zhi kept postponing it. He was truly busy, and finally, he had to turn off his phone.
Zhuge Meili personally went to the Ice Heart Car Factory to question Li Zhi. Upon seeing him covered in oil stains and rolling his eyes, she decided to leave.
Making cars is big news, isn't it?
It was twenty years ago, but now, it's not such a big deal. Even a high-end modification factory can assemble cars independently.
Unexpectedly, the long-forgotten "Ice Heart Car Factory" resumed car production.
For the residents of Haicheng, the Ice Heart Car Factory is a familiar sight, especially for those over forty years old.
The "Ice Soul Series" made a stunning debut.
The municipal government has assigned someone to monitor the Ice Heart Car Factory. The factory may have been sold, but it does not belong to private ownership until the debts and unpaid wages are cleared.
Li Zhi wasn't surprised by the reaction of outsiders. Modifying equipment and assembling cars didn't seem to require much technical expertise. After some time, the Ice Heart Car Factory would regain vitality and certainly progress towards independent research and development. The first step would be to establish a strong brand identity for the Ice Heart Car Factory and make it renowned.
"Back already?" Dong Xiaorou received a call from Li Zhi and felt somewhat surprised.
"Yeah!" Li Zhi chuckled twice. He didn't consult Dong Xiaorou before acquiring the Ice Heart Car Factory, and he didn't use the money from the 'Happy Fish Ball' account. "I'm tired." "Would you like to come over and cook dinner for me tonight?"
Dong Xiaorou was silent for a moment. Unexpectedly, she replied, "Okay," without refusing, which surprised Li Zhi.
"Then it's settled." "Come over early tonight," Li Zhi said happily.
"The warehouse at the processing plant is already full." I rented a cold storage unit in the city, and it's almost full. Do we need to continue producing fish balls at full capacity? Dong Xiaorou changed the subject and calmly asked. In fact, she had wanted to call Li Zhi for a long time.
"So soon!" Li Zhi muttered.
Dong Xiaorou smiled wryly and said, "We produce 18,000 kilograms a day." The warehouse is almost filled with hundreds of tons! Even if all sixty branches in Haicheng were opened, hundreds of tons of fish balls would only last a few days. Excessive production without a market is undoubtedly a disaster. It not only ties up capital but also requires money for warehouse rental.
"Okay, I'll find someone to deal with it." "Tell Heizi to produce as much as possible; there's no need to worry about excess!" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Dong Xiaorou didn't ask how Li Zhi would handle it. After hanging up the phone, Li Zhi prepared to contact the 67th Interstellar Business Alliance on Earth and sell the fish balls to them. At 24 yuan per kilogram, the price was low, but the volume was the advantage.
200,000 kilograms of fish balls would amount to 4.8 million yuan, minus ten percent for the 'transaction fee'.
"Ding!" You have received a business alliance order!
Li Zhi looked at the message on his phone and was stunned. Is it a business alliance order? Upon closer inspection, it was sent by the 67th Interstellar Business Alliance, reminding Li Zhi that someone wanted to order 50 million tons of fish balls.
The price was 500 yuan per kilogram.
The price per ton was 500,000 yuan!
50 million tons?
50 million tons?
Li Zhi could handle 5,000 tons, but the word 'million' stunned him. Even if the processing plant operated at full capacity, producing 18,000 kilograms a day, it would only amount to 9 tons at most.
In a month, it could produce a maximum of 270 tons.
The current factory would take nearly two years to produce 50,000 tons at its current scale. 50 million tons? Even the grandchildren would not be able to reproduce it!
Order deadline: one month!
This is ridiculous!
A big deal is a significant matter, but the crucial point is that Li Zhi dared not accept it, as he would not be able to fulfill it.
Looking at his phone, Li Zhi couldn't help but curse, "Who the heck is this, deliberately making things difficult for me!" I'm just a "low-level" manufacturer. They're asking for 50 million tons out of nowhere. "Are they trying to make my life difficult?"
Even if the processing plant expanded, it would still be challenging to process 50 million tons of raw materials.
Hint: You can access the "Factory World Map" to discover unique production sites!
Li Zhi was puzzled. This was the second time his mind had spoken, the first being when he became a 'weak-level' manufacturer.
"What is the Factory World Map?" Li Zhi frowned and asked.
"Ding: The Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory System has powerful manufacturing capabilities." A single world cannot fully satisfy the needs of the Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory System, so manufacturers need to find more suitable worlds to place the Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory. The Factory World Map represents the range, location, and area of the manufacturer's factory construction.
A special production location refers to a region abundant in a single valuable resource, known as a special production location.
"Can I go there?" Li Zhi asked.
"Ding: Absolutely, the manufacturer must develop a 'standard interstellar core' and establish a dedicated regional teleportation gate!"
A blueprint appeared in his mind.
"Sea Star 5 Fishing Ground World 'Teleportation Gate'."
It wasn't a miniaturized machine gate, but a formal "teleportation gate" powered by a "standard interstellar core."
Li Zhi took a deep breath. The area had already surpassed the boundaries of a single universe. It was truly unimaginable. There was nothing the Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory System couldn't do.
However, to construct a "teleportation gate," a "standard-level" interstellar core was required, and even the micro interstellar core in Li Zhi's safe couldn't be utilized.
"How many times can a standard-level interstellar core be used to locate a teleportation gate?" Li Zhi suddenly asked.
"Ding: 10,000 times!"
Li Zhi grinned. The cost of a standard-level interstellar core was equivalent to 10 billion US dollars. Using it once to "locate a teleportation gate" would cost a whopping one million USD. Even with a business producing 50 million tons of fish balls, there was no profit, and it would even result in a complete loss.
It's worth noting that even if Li Zhi manufactured a 'teleportation gate' using the location blueprint provided by the Nebula I9 system, it wouldn't immediately have 'fish balls'. In the Factory World Map, Li Zhi would also have to build a factory and purchase raw materials!
Moreover, Li Zhi did not possess a "standard-level" interstellar core. Even if he robbed a bank, it wouldn't be easy to get it back ten or twenty times.
But Li Zhi discovered that the Nebula I9 Intelligent Factory System also featured an exclusive 'Factory World Map'!
