Preparing a deep-water light source is time-consuming, especially since Liu Yong suggested that the compression depth should be at least 800 meters.
After Qiu Yang left, Liu Yong checked his calendar and recalled the last time Zhao Zhenbiao had visited him. During that visit, Zhao Zhenbiao entrusted his friend to transport two high-precision CNC machining centers from RB, and it had already been a week since then.
Liu Yong knew that delivery within two or three days would be impossible, as more time would be needed to make a round trip from RB.
However, Liu Yong had a solution to this problem. He remembered that Bawang could handle the delivery in a shorter time frame. In fact, Bawang could deliver the two machine tools in less than a day.
The machines had already been placed in the warehouse for several days and were ready to be handed over to Zhou Zhengming.
"This shipping fee is worth 10 million,"
Liu Yong thought to himself, considering the impressive amount of money he would receive as pocket money.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zhengming was at the processing site, the largest workshop in his company with the highest degree of automation and the most CNC processing equipment.
The place was busy and looked very prosperous, but Zhou Zhengming needed to be in a better mood despite this grand occasion.
Those who knew him well could see a trace of sadness in his brow.
The reason for his worry was the two high-precision CNC machining centers purchased from RB.
Deng Hemin, the workshop director, approached Zhou Zhengming wearing a safety helmet, glasses, and clean overalls with a white shirt and tie underneath.
He informed Zhou that the parts requested by customers from country F might be ready after a few days and could be in breach of contract.
The workshop not only processed parts for Zhou's company but also had surplus processing capacity and received valuable workpieces from the market for processing.
These valuable workpieces generally required high-precision processing, and the cost was ideal.
The parts needed for this batch of customers from country F cost more than $10,000 each to process, but the processing accuracy was also very high.
The processing of this batch of parts was coming to an end, with only a few processes left.
Among them, the process of fine boring was to process a total of eight precision holes, which was a very challenging task.
Zhou Zhengming has been very concerned about this matter since yesterday. A customer from country F called to inquire about the progress of this batch of parts.
Zhou Zhengming confidently reassured everyone that the parts would be delivered on schedule. Still, in reality, he knew that the success of the process of fine boring relied heavily on the high-precision machine tools purchased by the two RBs. With them, it would be easier to achieve the required machining accuracy.
Without hesitation, Zhou led the group to the CNC machining center, where the batch of parts was placed next to the machine tool. The machine operator and several technicians were already there. Zhou asked sincerely about the progress, how many pieces had been processed, and whether any were qualified.
The leading technician replied that two parts had been processed, but despite trying various methods, both needed to be qualified and still required to process the third part.
Workshop Director Deng Hemin chimed in, expressing his frustration that the most precise CNC machining center they had was still unable to achieve the required accuracy.
The technician in charge explained that the problem was with the machine tool itself, not their processing methods or CNC programs. If they had access to a higher-precision machine tool, they could guarantee the processing would be qualified.
This realization was a significant setback, as with the necessary tools, it would be possible to fulfill the contract with the customer in country F, and the reputation of Zhou Zhengming's company would be at stake.
Deng Hemin shared his desire for a high-precision CNC machining center, as they could only compete with other companies with one.
Zhou Zhengming was acutely aware of the limitations of their situation, unable to import high-precision machine tools from developed countries due to the embargo.
As the group grappled with the issue, Zhou's phone rang, interrupting their discussion.
After picking up the phone, Liu Yong's strong voice resounded through the phone, and he got straight to the point,
"Mr. Zhou, I can't wait any longer for those two machine tools."
Zhou Zhengming's heart skipped a beat. He was pleasantly surprised that Liu Yong had taken the initiative to call and check if the two machines had arrived.
His hopes began to rise.
"Mr. Liu, we can't wait any longer. Have the machine tools been shipped back?" Zhou Zhengming asked anxiously.
Liu Yong replied, "They've been transported back and are in my warehouse, intact. It would be best if you come to pick them up now to avoid occupying my warehouse."
What a relief!
The machines were already shipped back from RB!
Zhou Zhengming's gloomy face suddenly lit up, and the people around him could see the change in his expression. "Mr. Liu, this is excellent news. Please tell me the location, and I'll go and collect the machine tools immediately."
The surprise came too suddenly!
Zhou Zhengming had expected it would take at least ten days or even half a month for the machines to be shipped back.
But within just one week, they had been returned without any issues.
Zhou Zhengming was overjoyed and couldn't help but admire Universal's efficiency in getting the machines back.
Liu Yong continued, "Mr. Zhou, I'll send you the location. You can come directly to my warehouse, and I'll be waiting for you there."
"Okay, we'll be there shortly," Zhou Zhengming replied.
Liu Yong added with a smile, "Please prepare a 10 million cash check. Of course, a transfer is also acceptable. The machines have been inspected and accepted correctly, and my 10 million shipping fee should not be delayed."
Zhou Zhengming quickly responded, "No problem, I'll come personally with the cash check."
As Zhou Zhengming hung up the phone, he noticed that everyone around him was watching him with curiosity.
He was now in a great mood, feeling grateful that the machines had arrived safely and excited to have them in his possession finally.
Zhou Zhengming couldn't contain his excitement and shared the good news with everyone around him.
"Great news! The two high-precision machine tools we bought from RB have arrived. Director Deng, please arrange for people to prepare the car, and I'll take one of the machine tools back with me."
Deng Hemin was thrilled to hear this news. He knew the value of these machine tools and understood the potential profit they could bring.
These machines could produce high-precision parts for customers from country F and expand their business further.
Zhou Zhengming was also delighted to use these machines to create more revenue. He couldn't wait to see them in action and said, "I'll personally bring the machine tool back."
Zhou Zhengming waved his hand, and everyone around him shared his excitement. The arrival of these machines was a huge win for their company, and it promised a brighter future.
