Chapter 480: The Science of Time Management is Profound

After the 20th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Jing went to Tangdu on Friday.

Bai Xiyao picked up Zhou Jing at Tangdu Airport and took him to the electronics factory. The production department of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. implemented a four-shift three-shift system. Except for meal breaks, the production line was always open, including Saturdays and Sundays.

"The product is ready to be launched ahead of schedule. We will send a batch to Yu City tomorrow for trial. I am a little excited."

Although Bai Xiyao is confident in the Bluetooth speakers developed and produced by the company, she is inevitably nervous when it comes to launching the product on the market. She doesn't know whether the product will be recognized in the market. The greater the expectations, the more nervous she becomes.

"I'm not nervous, why are you worried?"

Zhou Jing felt calm, but what made him nervous was the smartphones in the second half of the year.

"This is what they call the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. If we can open up the southern market first, sales will be much greater. Compared with the south, the north is much more backward. How is the online store going?"

When they got to the highway, Bai Xiyao drove Zhou Jing's Prado and stepped on the accelerator to over 100 miles per hour.

"Registration is complete, and planning is underway. Sales will start next week."

It was a bit stuffy in the car, so Zhou Jing rolled down the window a little to feel the speed of the wind.

"It won't be long before online shopping becomes mainstream. Have you ever thought about doing e-commerce?"

Bai Xiyao has done several online shopping trips recently and felt good about it. It is very suitable for people who don’t like shopping.

"I thought about it, but it's too late now. It's easy to run a shopping website, and it's not competitive."

"That's right." Bai Xiyao nodded and said, "Do you have a photo of your daughter?"

The day before yesterday, Zhou Jing went to the photo studio to develop a few photos of his children. He brought them back to Tangdu to show his father-in-law, and took out two photos from his bag and handed them to Bai Xiyao.

Bai Xiyao slowed down the car to below 90, looked at the photo and said, "She's very cute. She inherited the good qualities of you and Gu Jia. She will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up. Can you put away your heart after having a child?"

"I can dump Chen Jiaqian before Gu Jia finds out to avoid trouble in the future."

Bai Xiyao added.

"we'll see!"

Zhou Jing’s problem is not just Chen Jiaqian, there is also the helpless Yang Wenwen and her daughter.

Zhou Jing would never give Yang Xin fatherly love and then withdraw. That would be too cruel to the child. It is better not to give fatherly love to a child in the first place than to give him fatherly love and then let him lose it.

"Who will take care of the child after Gu Jia is out of confinement, your mother or your mother-in-law?"

Bai Xiyao said while looking ahead.

"My mom will coax me for a while, and then we'll take turns coaxing each other."

"This is good. It will be much easier if there are more people to help take care of the children."

When they arrived at the electronics factory, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the production workshop first. The upgraded production line had very little noise, and only after entering the factory could they hear the sound of the equipment running.

Employees in the factory wear uniform blue work clothes. Technical engineers shuttle between production line equipment and instruments to check various parameters, and ordinary technicians perform manual assembly and operation on both sides of the assembly line.

"Chairman, Mr. Bai."

The workshop director walked quickly up to Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao.

"The chairman emphasized two points: quality control and safety. Everyone must keep these two points in mind."

Bai Xiyao said to the workshop director.

"Don't worry, Chairman Bai. I will strictly implement the company's requirements and provide safety and technical training to employees on a regular basis."

The workshop director nodded.

"Okay, go and do your work!"

Bai Xiyao nodded and looked around as she walked.

“He is becoming more and more like a leader.”

Zhou Jing said to Bai Xiyao with a smile.

"necessary."

Bai Xiyao said without any modesty.

After visiting the workshop, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the comprehensive office building. The most important department in the office building is the R&D department. The administrative team does not work overtime on Fridays and weekends. After five o'clock, the office building is basically off work, and the R&D department is no exception. Bai Xiyao took the key to the R&D department, opened the door and went in to show the experimental machine of the traditional Ideal mobile phone.

"Once you insert the card, you can perform basic functions such as making and receiving calls and sending text messages."

Bai Xiyao introduced while operating, turned on the music on her phone, and started playing "If you don't love me, give me back my heart. You exchanged love for your youth." The audio and video module is purchased, and the sound effect depends on the level purchased.

Because traditional mobile phone projects focus on quality and low price, the materials used are standard, and the material cost is controlled within 250 yuan. Together with the production and labor costs, the total cost is about 400 yuan. Such a phone can meet basic communication functions, listen to music, surf the Internet, and come with a simplified version of the fun elimination game.

A mobile phone like this will definitely sell well if you sell it for 300 yuan even if you lose 100 or 80 yuan.

"How is Liu Hanyu working here?"

Zhou Jing remembered that Liu Hanyu worked at Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.

"No problem, she's very skilled in finances. Miss her?"

Bai Xiyao said in a strange voice.

"I miss you more."

Zhou Jing couldn't say whether he missed Liu Hanyu or not.

It was getting late, so Zhou Jing went to the company cafeteria for dinner to see what the food was like.

The electronics factory canteen is in the living area. It is neither big nor small. When you enter the canteen, you can see a row of meal windows. The company canteen has a relatively rich variety of food, including self-selected fast food, pasta, freshly fried dishes, and casseroles.

The morning shift gets off work at 5pm, and at this time the cafeteria is full of people from the morning and night shifts eating.

"What to eat?"

Bai Xiyao glanced at Zhou Jingdao.

"What's good to eat here?"

“Stir-fry, of course.”

“I eat fried noodles.”

Zhou Jing looked around and found that the hygiene of the cafeteria seemed good.

Bai Xiyao ordered a bowl of fried noodles with meat for Zhou Jing and asked for a casserole for herself.

“Where can I buy vegetables for the cafeteria?”

Zhou Jing opened the can of Coke that Bai Xiyao brought and took a sip.

"We buy large pots of food in the suburbs. Our company's small truck goes there every day to buy a load to ensure freshness."

Bai Xiyao usually eats in the company cafeteria more often and has higher requirements for the cafeteria's ingredients.

"Not bad, what do we do with the leftovers?"

Zhou Jing nodded. If one didn’t have too much ability, running an electronics factory like this in Tangdu would be a pretty comfortable life.

"For the pig farm, now it's just a matter of profitability. If the Bluetooth speakers can sell 100,000 per month, it still depends on mobile phones."

Bai Xiyao made a rough calculation and found that it would be a long time before they could achieve profitability relying solely on existing products. If they sold 100,000 speakers a month, the net profit for each speaker would be around 20 million, which means 2 million a month and more than 20 million a year. The electronics factory has already invested more than 200 million.

In the evening, Zhou Jing went to his father-in-law's house. His father-in-law was very pleased when he saw the photos of his granddaughter.

At Gu's age, the only thing that can bother him is his children getting married and adding new life to the family.

After staying for one night, Zhou Jing returned to Qing County the next day.

On his way to the county town, Zhou Jing passed by his uncle's pancake shop and went in to eat something.

There was a make-up class on Saturday of the third year of junior high school. My father was at school and couldn't leave. There was no one at home in the county town. Zhou Jing bought some things in the county town and went to the countryside to visit his grandparents. Zhou Jing didn't tell the old man and the old lady in advance to avoid them being busy cooking.

"Wang Wang Wang."

The chickens raised in my hometown in the countryside were harassed by owls at night last winter. The old lady also raised a dog, a small yellow dog. At this time, Ah Huang was barking at Zhou Jing.

"Why didn't you tell me Jing was back? Stop calling me. We're family. Did Jing eat?"

The old lady's eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Jing, and she walked out and waved to the dog.

"Eat it, silly dog. You can have more food when I come back."

Zhou Jing touched the dog's head, took out a rib from the bag and threw it into the dog bowl. Ah Huang wagged his tail and took the bone to the nest to chew. "Is the child okay?"

The old lady is also thinking about her great-grandson.

"very good."

Zhou Jing put down his things and took out two photos and gave them to the old man and the old lady.

The old lady looked at the photo, wrinkles crinkled around her eyes, and smiled, "Looks like when you were a kid."

"The eyes are like me, and the mouth and nose are like Jiajia."

"Jun's balls."

The old lady liked it more and more as she looked at it.

Zhou Jing had nothing else to do when he returned to the countryside, except to show the old man and the old lady photos of their children. It was a happy thing to have four generations living under one roof in the family.

After sitting in the house for a while, Zhou Jing went to the small courtyard in the yard. The vegetable garden had not been planted with vegetables yet, and the whole yard was dominated by chickens. In order to prevent the chickens from flying out of the courtyard wall, the old man bought wire mesh and surrounded the wall with another circle. More than 30 chickens were chirping in the yard, and the ground was covered with chicken shit. The vegetables would definitely grow well after being planted.

"Your grandfather and I can't go to the baby's one-month-old birthday party, so use this money to buy something for the baby."

The old lady gave Zhou Jing a thousand yuan in change and tied a red string around it.

"No, I'm going to give it to you."

Zhou Jing knew he had to refuse but he still refused.

"We are not short of money at home. This is for the baby."

The old lady said as she stuffed the money into Zhou Jing’s pocket.

Zhou Jing couldn't resist and accepted it. It was a token of the old man's kindness.

After the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather gradually warms up. My hometown in the countryside is in a sunny place, and the sunlight brings rays of warmth. If you look closely, you can find that tender green grass is beginning to emerge on the ground, which is a symbol of the arrival of spring.

After resting for a while in the countryside, Zhou Jing drove back to the county town and waited for his father to get off work so that they could have dinner together.

The third-year junior high school students did not have evening self-study on Saturday night, so Zhou Jing and his father had dinner and went home, where they stayed overnight. On Sunday morning, Zhou Jing went to the new county town. With the completion of the power system and network system projects, the infrastructure of the new county town was basically completed, and the hospital was installing medical equipment.

Xincheng County Hospital is expected to be put into use in July. The hospital information system contracted by Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. is progressing smoothly and is expected to be completed by the end of March. Zhou Jing reported the progress of the hospital information system to the relevant person in charge of the county hospital, and then learned some information about the hospital to make the information system more targeted.

After taking care of the matters at Xincheng Hospital, Zhou Jing went home to have lunch with his father, and then went to Yulin City.

The senior students of Experimental Middle School held a mock exam this weekend. Yang Wenwen was at home marking the papers without an invigilator. Yang's mother and Yang Xin were also at home. After Zhou Jing entered the city, Yang Wenwen took her daughter to wait outside the community.

"Dad, why didn't you come back for so long?"

The little girl ran up to Zhou Jing and asked in a questioning tone. Her hair was loose at the moment, and the hair in front of her was blown by the wind onto her slightly chubby face, making her look very cute and fierce.

"Dad makes a little money. He doesn't even live a good life just to make a little money. How old is the little cutie this year?"

Zhou Jing opened the trunk of the car and took out the things he bought in Tangdu. He bought Tangdu specialties for the little girl and also bought a children's electronic keyboard. He spent more than one thousand yuan on the keyboard. Although it was a children's model, the sound quality was not bad at all.

"Six years old, what is this, Dad?"

The little girl asked while rummaging through the electronic keyboard case.

"Electronic piano, let's look at it when we get back." Yang Wenwen took the luggage and said to Zhou Jing, "Are you cold wearing so little?"

"It's not cold. The weather was nice at noon. I haven't gained any weight after the Chinese New Year."

Zhou Jing pinched Yang Wenwen's round face and said.

"Just stay where you are now. You can't lose weight, and you can't get any fatter."

Yang Wenwen said with a smile.

"How's your little cutie doing since school started?"

Zhou Jing held the electronic piano in his left hand and held the little girl's hand with his right hand.

"The teacher gave me a certificate for first place."

The little girl said with great pride.

Yang Wenwen smiled and said, "I got first place in the final exam last year."

"You are amazing, little cutie. The electronic piano is your reward for getting first place in the exam. Even if you did well in the exam, you can't be proud."

Zhou Jing shook the little girl's hand.

"Pride holds people back, you know?"

Yang Wenwen rubbed her daughter's head and said.

The little girl nodded.

"Has Xiao Zhou eaten yet?"

When they got home, Yang's mother said to Zhou Jing.

"I ate it. Happy New Year, Auntie."

Zhou Jing wished a happy new year to Yang's mother.

The little girl couldn't wait to unpack the keyboard. Yang Wenwen was worried that the child might break something, so she put the keyboard on the sofa, took it out, and put it on the coffee table, saying, "Wait, Mommy plug it in."

Yang Wenwen untied the wires and plugged them in.

"I'm a pianist."

The little girl pressed her fingers on the keyboard one by one, and the electronic organ made crisp sounds.

"Did the music teacher teach you how to play the piano?"

Zhou Jing pinched the little girl's face.

"No, the music teacher only taught us to sing, and my father taught me."

"Dad doesn't know either, learn from this."

Zhou Jing opened the nursery rhyme tutorial book.

"Just figure it out slowly by yourself, and let Dad rest for a while."

Yang Wenwen said to her daughter.

After playing with the little girl for a while, Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen went to the bedroom. Zhou Jing picked up the Chinese mock test paper on the table and said, "It's less than a hundred days before the college entrance examination. I can recite all the ancient poems this time."

“This mock exam is quite difficult.”

Yang Wenwen leaned on the table and said with a smile.

"It's time to get tough. The mock exams in March and April are the toughest, right?"

"Well, the top three students in the class all received the scholarships you sponsored. At the end of last year, Feng Yuhua ranked second in our class."

Yang Wenwen has been a teacher at Experimental Middle School for almost nine years. From last year to this year, student welfare has been the best, and enrollment should be even better next semester.

"This kid has made great progress."

Zhou Jing was not surprised. Feng Yuhua's father taught him math in junior high school, and Zhou Jing taught him math in the first year of high school. As long as one is good at math to study science, the progress will be obvious after the division of subjects. Teachers are the most important educational resources. Students can benefit a lot from meeting a good teacher. If they meet a half-baked teacher, they can only wish for good luck. Even the smartest students need guidance from a master teacher.

"Dad, my rabbit piggy bank has accumulated a lot of small coins."

The little girl played with the electronic piano for a while, then came to the bedroom holding the rabbit piggy bank.

"Save money well. Dad will buy you another one when this one is full." Zhou Jing picked up the money jar, looked at it and said to Yang Wenwen, "How much money have you saved, little cutie?"

"It should be about five or six thousand."

Yang Wenwen has not embezzled her daughter's money in the past two years. Zhou Jing alone has given her about 4,000 yuan. Including the things she bought, Zhou Jing has spent tens of thousands of yuan on his daughter.

It was still early, so Zhou Jing took Yang Wenwen and her daughter to the cinema to watch a movie.

Now that Gu Jia has a child, Zhou Jing’s chances of returning to Yulin City will decrease, and he can only use his limited time to spend with Yang Wenwen and her daughter.

According to the current situation, Zhou Jing simply won't be able to accompany Chen Jiaqian after she graduates. Zhou Jing doesn't know how the scumbags in novels manage their time when they have five, six, or even more than ten scumbags.

Time management is a profound subject.
