Chapter 18 Give Us a Certification
"You want to carry out industrial integration of parts processing?" Xu Yi looked at Freeman opposite with a surprised face, and thought it was a little funny after thinking about it. "Hey, Freeman, surely this isn't a line you came up with?"
Freeman scratched his head and smiled honestly.
"This word was indeed told to me by Kovacs, but he also learned it from the book "Basics of Magic Industrial System Creation" you published earlier. Of course, this idea is really my own, just with the Kovac and the others discussed it."
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at this guy who was just a simple-faced honest farmer when he first met, and thought that even he can come up with the idea of "industrial integration" now, which is really amazing. Change. "Come on, tell me, what do you think?"
Freeman sat down on the chair pointed by Xu Yi, collected himself, and then continued: "That's right. President Xu, do you still remember the batch of screws we provided to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Yi smiled: "I really don't remember much about this. I haven't meddled in these specific matters for a long time. What? What's wrong?"
"No, no problem, very good. But when we provided the same batch of goods to another chamber of commerce, we encountered some problems."
"what is the problem?"
"This...President Xu, didn't your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce set a standard for screws before, divided into thirteen types, suitable for different magic machines. All the screws produced by our Irish Chamber of Commerce so far strictly abide by this standard. Standard, the previous batch of goods is also the same, and it also passed the verification when it was supplied to your chamber of commerce."
"Well. That's what it should be. Then what? Did you supply the same batch of goods to the other chamber of commerce?" Freeman talked for a long time but still didn't get to the point. Xu Yi couldn't help asking a question.
Freeman sighed. Reluctantly spread his hands and replied: "Yes, when this batch of screws was provided to the chamber of commerce, they didn't match the magic fans and air conditioners they produced, so they returned all the screws to us. We lost thousands of gold coins because of it."
"Why doesn't it match?" Xu Yi was a little curious.
"Because...the styles of all the screws on the magic fans and air conditioners they produce are different from ours, so they don't match."
"That's not right." Xu Yi frowned. "Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has clear standards for magic fans and magic air conditioners. Why is this chamber of commerce different?"
"Well, I later asked the people in their chamber of commerce in private. The reason is that when their chamber of commerce first produced magic fans, they used screws provided by another chamber of commerce. The screws produced by that chamber of commerce did not conform to Standard, but cheaper than our chamber of commerce, and then they changed the abrasive tools every time they produced magic fans, which just met the standard of the screws of that chamber of commerce, but they couldn’t match the screws produced by our chamber of commerce.”
"That is to say...is this a chain reaction?" Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head. "The reason why I set strict and detailed standards for every magical machine was to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Unexpectedly, it will still be inevitable."
"Later, I went to the chamber of commerce that provided them with screws before, and found that the magic tooth grinding machines they used to produce screws were not properly tuned from the very beginning, and the skills of several of their workers in controlling the machine tools were also... ... Cough, not good enough. More importantly, they didn't understand the standards given by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all, so they produced screws that didn't meet the standards, and they didn't even know it." Freeman continued .
"If you put it this way, it's a problem of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's standard promotion. Hmm... It seems that we need to pay more attention to this issue in the future." Xu Yi pondered.
Freeman waved his hand quickly: "No, no, President Xu. I didn't mean to accuse you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I just thought, since such a problem has arisen, should we find a way to let us engage in The chamber of commerce for parts processing should be unified, and everyone should try to use the same standard to do things, so that similar situations can be avoided and losses can be reduced.”
"Well, that's a good idea. Freeman, it's rare for you to think of this. I really admire you." Xu Yi nodded approvingly. "Then what are you going to do?"
Freeman rubbed his hands, and said a little embarrassedly: "So I'm here to ask for your support."
"Tell me, if I can help you, I will consider it."
"Uh...President Xu, I hope that if you have time, can you publish a book about the standards of various parts? That is to say, to clarify all these related standards, the most important thing is to let us These people can find evidence at any time."
"This is no problem. In fact, I am also working on these things. It's just that the implementation of the standard still needs enough people's approval, so there is no rush."
"No, you don't need to be so scruples at all. With the status of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is no need for others to agree with you. As long as you clearly set the standard, I'm sure no one will dare to violate it. For example Speaking of the matter I just mentioned, if there had been this standard book, I could have directly troubled that chamber of commerce with the book, saying that they did not follow the standard, and it has nothing to do with our Irish United Chamber of Commerce. "
Xu Yi laughed, thinking that Freeman had been talking for a long time, but he was still thinking about his Irish United Chamber of Commerce after all.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, and what he said is very reasonable.
Xu Yi was unwilling to impose standards before, because he hoped to make everyone get used to various standards through subtle influence.
Now it seems that the effect of doing this is not as good as Xu Yi imagined.
If it is really enforced according to what Freeman said, it may really save a lot of trouble.
"Then the industrial integration you mentioned just now is just for me to help you come up with an industry standard for parts?" Xu Yi asked again.
"No, it's not just these. I've thought about it. Our Irish United Chamber of Commerce should be the largest of all chambers of commerce that process parts, so we should set an example."
Freeman paused, and squeezed his fist hard, as if to encourage himself.
"So I decided that we should help other chambers of commerce responsible for parts processing. For example, the chamber of commerce for processing screws I mentioned just now, I have already discussed with them, and will send several skilled workers from our chamber of commerce Help them readjust the magic tooth grinding machine, and help them train their skilled workers, so that the screws they produce can meet the standards, and the quality is more stable."
"Oh?" Xu Yi was really shocked this time. "Freeman, I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect you to be so grand in your actions now. This is really beyond my expectation."
"It's all President Xu's usual teaching." Freeman said with a chuckle. "But it's no problem to unite with one chamber of commerce in this way, and there will be many difficulties in uniting with other chambers of commerce. So President Xu... I hope that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can give us a special certification for the Irish United Chamber of Commerce and recognize our Irish United Chamber of Commerce. Parts processing standards, so that other chambers of commerce will be convinced by us, and it will be easier for us to discuss with them."
"Is that really all that is?"
Xu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at Freeman, thinking that this guy had always behaved honestly and honestly before, but unexpectedly he was quite ambitious.
If I really agreed to his request and identified the Irish United Chamber of Commerce as a parts processing chamber specially certified by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then in this environment where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is almost the only authority in the magic machinery industry, it is equivalent to confirming the Irish United Chamber of Commerce The highest position in the parts processing industry.
The benefits of this to the Irish United Chamber of Commerce are self-evident.
But Xu Yi didn't dislike Freeman's ambition.
He agrees with and supports Freeman's idea of integrating the parts processing industry from the bottom of his heart.
Because, as shown in the example given by Freeman just now, if there is a unified and clear standard with an industry authority in it, it will save a lot of labor and resources that are repeatedly wasted, and increase the cost of the entire parts. The development of industry played a great role.
The current magic industry is far from being limited to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and a prototype of an industrial system has gradually emerged.
It is impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to take care of everything, so it is an inevitable choice to hand over some of them to other people and other chambers of commerce.
Now the Irish United Chamber of Commerce, represented by Freeman, took the initiative to propose this idea, which happened to meet Xu Yi's expectations.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi nodded and said: "Okay, Freeman, I agree with your idea in principle. But if you agree or not, we still need to wait for our actual inspection and certification of your chamber of commerce. You have to be mentally prepared. Prepare, I have very strict requirements on this aspect, if your Irish United Chamber of Commerce fails to meet my requirements, then no matter how good our relationship is, there is no sympathy to talk about."
Hearing Xu Yi's promise, Freeman immediately stood up excitedly, beat his chest hard, bowed to Xu Yi, and said loudly: "President Xu, don't worry, the United Irish Chamber of Commerce has already done it from top to bottom. Well prepared, you can wait for your assessment and certification at any time!"
Xu also couldn't help smiling.
Freeman's posture is almost like reporting to the leader.
However, it can also be heard from his words that he has not been thinking about this for a day or two. I am afraid that the Irish United Chamber of Commerce is really prepared. (To be continued..)
