An hour later, stations three and four both reported that everything was running normally.
Everyone in the entire workshop was so excited they were dancing and shouting incessantly.
This signified that the new production line was completely stable!
"Boss, these are the products made by our new equipment!"
Xu Ronghua happily held a sample and ran to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan took it and carefully examined the circuit board in his hand. He found that it was more tightly integrated and sturdy than the circuit boards they had produced before, with at least a two-point improvement in quality. It truly lived up to being produced by the most advanced new machines.
Furthermore, efficiency and output had also significantly increased.
The production line before him could produce more than three times the number of circuit boards at once compared to the old machines.
This was absolutely crucial for a factory.
"Hurry and have the workers do the final processing, then put them into testing!" Qin Chuan said.
"Okay, we'll do it right away!"
Xu Ronghua immediately ran off, starting to loudly assign tasks.
Suddenly, several workshops became busy, with everyone clearly divided and attending to their respective duties.
Time always passed the fastest when one was busy.
Unknowingly, it was already afternoon.
As Qin Chuan was inspecting the work situation in each workshop, he received a call from Ye Meiyun.
"Boss, the test was perfect! The circuit boards we've newly produced are a perfect fit for the electronic locker system!"
"Well done!!"
The moment Qin Chuan received the call, even with his calm demeanor, he couldn't help but punch the air forcefully, his chest surging with emotion.
"Notify everyone to attend a meeting immediately!"
Ten minutes later, in the spacious conference room, all the executives of the electronics factory had arrived, and it was packed to capacity.
Qin Chuan sat at the head of the table and began to inquire about many matters.
For instance, based on the current production speed, how many circuit boards could be produced daily, and how many finished products would be available after manual processing?
Could the current number of workers support this production speed? If not, more people would need to be hired!
At the same time, had the various companies cooperating with Xinhua Electronics Factory been communicated with in advance? If not, this must be quickly finalized.
Finally, Qin Chuan stood at the podium, his jet-black eyes carrying immense authority as he scanned the room. He exuded an unprecedented sharpness.
"My goal is very simple: within a month, we must have sufficient product reserves to support us in running advertisements for Xinhua Electronics Factory on CCTV!"
Boom!!!
When Qin Chuan's last sentence fell, it was as if a giant rock had been thrown into a calm lake, creating a tumultuous wave.
In the conference room, everyone was stunned by Qin Chuan's final statement. Even Ye Meiyun, Li Chunsheng, and Xu Ronghua wore similar expressions.
The three of them had been unaware of this beforehand and had never imagined that Qin Chuan's ambition was so grand.
For their first advertisement, they were planning to go to CCTV!
What kind of place was CCTV?
It was undoubtedly the most magnificent and colossal entity in the minds of any enterprise or company, their ultimate goal.
Any product that appeared on CCTV represented an supreme honor, a status, and a quality!
For many small enterprises, small companies, and small factories, this was almost unimaginable.
It wasn't just because of the high cost, but also for many other reasons.
In the minds of many, the products produced by small companies and small factories were not worthy of advertising on a grand platform like CCTV.
Now, Qin Chuan was saying that the electronic locker would advertise on CCTV for its very first advertisement; how could people not be shocked?
However, what surprised everyone even more was not over yet.
At this moment, Qin Chuan, standing on the stage, dropped another bombshell.
"Not only will we be running advertisements on CCTV, but we will also find a suitable brand ambassador for our product!"
"Let's discuss now, what kind of celebrity should we invite to endorse our product?" Qin Chuan said to everyone from the stage.
"Boss!"
Finally, someone was able to interject. The speaker was Ye Meiyun, who also referred to Qin Chuan as "Boss" within the company.
"Isn't this decision a bit too hasty!" Ye Meiyun said, standing up.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not lacking confidence in our product, but I feel our product has just begun, and to invest so much at once, isn't it a bit risky?"
"Do you know the price of a slot on CCTV?"
Qin Chuan asked calmly, "How much?"
Ye Meiyun slowly said, "When I worked at Ziguang Electronics Factory, I once heard a very wealthy boss mention that CCTV is truly a place that devours people without spitting out bones!"
"Advertising there is charged by the second. The more prime time the program, the more expensive the advertising fee!"
"That big boss only advertised on CCTV for a month, and it wasn't even on the most popular CCTV-1. The monthly fee was as high as thirty thousand!"
"He said that if you want to advertise on CCTV-1, even for the shortest five-second advertisement, the monthly fee would be at least a million!"
"If the advertisement were slightly longer, the price would be an astronomical figure!"
As Ye Meiyun finished speaking, there was an immediate collective gasp of disbelief in the conference room. Many people were whispering, clearly completely taken aback by the exorbitant advertising costs.
A million a month, if one wasn't particularly confident in their product, they wouldn't dare to invest so casually.
Perhaps that million would truly be thrown away!
Years of hard-earned money could suddenly become worthless.
"Boss, advertising on CCTV is indeed a bit extravagant!"
"We don't need to be so aggressive. After all, our factory is still a small factory at present..." Xu Ronghua also said.
There was one more thing he didn't say: there was no need to invite celebrities for endorsements either.
The cost of celebrity endorsements was also very high, a number that made people hesitate.
On stage, Qin Chuan's expression remained calm, as if he wasn't at all intimidated by the high advertising fees. He continued to ask, "Does anyone else have any questions? Please speak freely!"
"Boss!"
A middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing glasses, stood up. Her name was Meng Qing, the head of the finance department.
"I don't quite understand your vision, nor do I understand the market."
"But what I want to say is, if you are truly prepared to advertise on CCTV, then the current funds of the finance department will likely be insufficient to support it."
Meng Qing picked up a document from the table and continued.
"Because the current capital of our electronics factory is only 3,545,800 yuan."
"This sum of over three million yuan will later need to be spent on various collaborators, the materials we purchase, and the factory's daily expenses. All of these require money, and the expenses are considerable..."
This time, Qin Chuan finally frowned.
In the end, it all came down to the issue of money. If funds were sufficient, none of this would be a problem.
He also wished that Xinhua Electronics Factory could develop step by step like the Butterfly Clothing Factory, proceeding slowly and steadily, but some people and some matters forced him to take a risk!
In a person's life, there are very few opportunities to get rich. Once certain opportunities are missed, it will be too late to regret them!
The current electronic locker was definitely one of them!
Throughout history, it has always been the first person to eat the crab who reaps the greatest rewards!
If he wanted to enjoy the blessings of multiple women in the future, Qin Chuan had to work hard from now on, earn more money, and rapidly improve his social status.
Otherwise, he couldn't expect anything from "Teacher Yang" or anyone else. Who knows, even the current beautiful factory director might run off with someone else!
