Chapter 416 - Remolding the Production Line

Chapter 416 Remolding the Production Line

“How did you manage to do that?”

Just as Ding Ning finished speaking, Lisa called Ding Qianlie excitedly saying that several building material traders called them for cooperation.

Ding Qianlie hung up the phone with a bright smile and looked at Ding Ning unblinkingly with strong emotions in her beautiful eyes. This young man could always surprise her and make her feel moved.

Ding Ning felt embarrassed being stared at. He touched his nose shyly and explained, “It’s just a coincidence. The government has been carrying out a fight against corruption and underworld forces. The arrest of Zhu Chang’an and Director Ma happened to become the breaking point. Many corruption cases were exposed. Plus the project about the old area on Fuxing Road is the government’s major project. It’s natural that the leading officials would pay attention to this.”

Though Ding Qianlie knew that Ding Ning was not telling the truth, she did not pursue the matter wisely. Since the most troublesome problem had been solved, Ding Qianlie was in a good mood and even ate one more bowl of porridge.

“By the way, sister, take a look at our refrigerator.”

Ding Ning pulled Ding Qianlie into the kitchen when she ate her fill and stretched herself leisurely.

“What’s wrong with the refrigerator?”

Ding Qianlie opened the refrigerator and found everything normal, so she asked with confusion.

“Is there any sound of refrigerator working?”

Ding Ning showed a mysterious smile.

Ding Qianlie was stunned and her eyes suddenly lit up. She replied in a tone of surprise, “Right. I didn’t notice it before. Why isn’t there any sound of refrigerator working?”

Though she did not enter the kitchen too often, she did hear light glitch noise and noise of gas compressor working when she was in the kitchen sometimes.

However, now, the refrigerator absolutely made no noise. If it had not been for that the light in the refrigerating chamber was on, she would have thought that the refrigerator was power off.

“Take a look at the freezing chamber.”

Ding Ning opened the freezing chamber complacently and took out a piece of pork.

Ding Qianlie looked at him in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong? Isn’t it just a piece of pork?”

Ding Ning threw the pork into her hands with a smile and said, “Feel it with your hands.”

“It’s cold. Hey, why is it not frozen?”

Ding Qianlie was astonished to find that the pork in her hand was cool yet not frozen. It looked very fresh. With a serious expression, she asked eagerly, “When did you put it in?”

“About 3 o’clock in the morning.”

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Ding Ning said in a flaunting tone as if he were a child longing for parents’ praise, “It’s half past eight. During the last five and a half hours, the pork was kept in cold storage, but it was not frozen.”

The ever-composed Ding Qianlie jumped up happily like a little girl. She held Ding Ning’s hand and asked excitedly, “Wow, oh my, how did you manage to do that? It’s amazing.”

“Be patient. Now, take a look at our air conditioner.”

Ding Ning remained silent with a smile as he turned on the air conditioner while holding her hands. As the air conditioner was adjusted to the lowest temperature, a gust of cold wind blew over, which made Ding Qianlie shiver in cold.

“Can you hear any noise from it?”

Ding Ning took her to the air conditioner with a proud face and opened it.

Ding Qianlie was stunned and said with disbelief and excitement in her eyes, “How could it make no noise? It actually worked without any noise.”

Luoxue tilted her head curiously. She held Ding Ning’s hand and kept pestering him, saying, “Brother, I want this kind of air conditioner and refrigerator equipped in my restaurant as well. Especially the refrigerator. It’s really convenient that you don’t need to unfreeze the foods taken out from the freezing chamber.”

“No problem. It’s a piece of cake for me.”

Holding his sister’s hand in one hand and Luoxue’s hand in the other, Ding Ning promised Luoxue generously.

“Tell me quickly, how did you manage to do that?”

Ding Qianlie’s eyes lit up as she waved Ding Ning’s arms and asked eagerly.

“Do you remember that I talked about runes with you a few days ago? It just takes one Soundproof Rune to block the noise. As we all know, when a refrigerator works, the refrigerant gas is compressed to a high pressure which results in rise of temperature. This gas then passes through heat exchanging pipes… I engraved Ice-Condensing Rune, Soundproof Rune, Ice-melting Rune, and Spirit-Drawing Rune in our refrigerator. The Spirit-Drawing Rune will draw the spiritual aura between heaven and earth over here to sustain the operation life of the refrigeration equipment…”

Ding Ning explained the working principals of the refrigerator and the runes patiently and in detail.

Ding Qianlie could not understand the words totally and frowned. Looking disappointed, she said, “It sounds awesome, but it could not be applied to production. Can you engrave runes on each refrigeration equipment when it is produced? You’ll have no time to do other things if you do so.”

“I’ve thought about that as well. It’s not that troublesome.”

Ding Ning said with full confidence, “I can make a mold engraved with runes. According to this mold, we can produce any part of the refrigeration equipment, such as the compressor, even a screw. When this part has been assembled, the rune will start to work.”

Ding Qianlie’s eyes lit up, but soon, she said in a worried tone, “I know what you mean, but I’m worried that these special parts with runes, the core of the refrigeration equipment, will be copied by others once they know it.”

“Don’t worry, sister. Others don’t know the use of the runes. Even if they know and copy it, they could not activate the runes. I’ll engrave a group of activation runes on the machine that produces special parts. In other words, only the parts that our machine produces could be activated, and those copies could not. Besides, they won’t know that such a secondary part is our core secret,” Ding Ning said with a smile. He had considered these problems from long ago.

“Wow, great. You’re so brilliant, brother. Let’s go to transform our machines.”

Ding Qianlie was so excited that her pretty cheeks blushed. She ran outside holding Ding Ning’s eyes in a hurry.

Ding Ning looked back and gave Luoxue an apologetic smile. However, Luoxue waved her hands at him and said with a sweet smile, “Go with sister. My business is not urgent.”

“Well, Luoxue, don’t buy any refrigeration equipment. When my factory succeeds in producing them, I’ll give one to you.”

Ding Qianlie realized that she was too overexcited, so she stopped walking and said to Luoxue apologetically.

“Haha, then, I can save a lot of money. Thank you, sister.”

Luoxue replied with a happy smile.

Binghai Refrigeration Equipment Factory was a subsidiary of Huake Electrical Appliance Company, which was one of the nine companies Longteng Group acquired when it entered Ninghai.

Binghai Refrigeration possessed a huge production capacity for it had 24 production lines. However, it lacked core technology and was uncompetitive in the market. As a result, the company performed not well and made little profits. For this reason, the research team specialized in production technology research that was hired by Ding Qianlie a high salary felt very abashed.

Standing in front of Binghai Refrigeration, Ding Qianlie was no longer excited and was as calm and wise as usual. “Brother, how about we specially set up a separate conversion shop to produce rune parts?”

“No, because that will be equal to telling others we’re producing some special parts there. We’ll arouse suspicion from others. Show me around, and I’ll secretly transform the machine that is used to produce parts. The fewer the people who know about this are, the better it will be.”

Ding Ning shook her head as she replied, “But you have to arrange a person that you trust to inspect the quality of the products before they leave the factory. The person will supervise the assembling of the refrigeration equipment so as to make sure that every refrigeration equipment we produced is equipped with this rune part.”

“That’s easy. I’ll handle it after you decide which shop to serve as the conversion shop.”

Ding Qianlie kept nodding her head.

Chen Kewen, the head of Binghai Refrigeration, was so surprised that the group leader came to Binghai Refrigeration to inspect work personally. He led other directors of the factory to welcome Ding Qianlie and Ding Ning hurriedly. They stood in two lines in front of the gate as if they were troops being reviewed.

“Alright, Mr. Chen, I’m just looking around here. Tell others to go on with their work and not retard our production. I just need you to arrange a person to lead the way for me.”

Ding Qianlie was gentle to the conscientious Chen Kewen, which made Chen Kewen feel extremely flattered. He said, “President, since you came here to inspect work personally, how about I lead you around?”

“Okay. Just show us around in the workshops.”

Ding Qianlie agreed with Chen Kewen after seeing that Ding Ning did not object to the idea.

However, the obscure eye contact between Ding Qianlie and Ding Ning made Chen Kewen feel uneasy. He wondered who the young man was. “Binghai Refrigeration doesn’t make many profits. Is president thinking about replacing me with this young man?”

Though Longteng Group had been established just for two hours in Ninghai, it was well-known for its high salary. Chen Kewen, an insignificant head of the factory, received an annual salary of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. He was paid more highly than many people, thus, he did not want to lose the job.

Thinking of this, he became even more perturbed and behaved more respectfully toward Ding Qianlie. Seeing his look, Ding Ning was amused.

“Mr. Chen, how is the annual production capacity of Binghai Refrigeration?”

They looked around several workshops roughly. When they arrived in one workshop, Ding Qianlie paused her steps and started to chat with Chen Kewen when she saw Ding Ning nod at her.

Ding Ning pretended to be curious about the machines, but in fact, he took the chance and engraved some runes on the machines secretly. As an inconspicuous burst of Spiritual Energy spread, Ding Ning nodded with satisfaction. They started to move on.

After remolding five workshops, Ding Ning thought it was enough and signaled Ding Qianlie, who said to Chen Kewen with a serious expression, “Mr. Chen, did you prepare the refrigerators as I told you yesterday?”

“Yes. I placed them in the warehouse separately and was waiting for your call. You can take them away at any time. Those are the most advanced refrigeration equipment in our factory and could absolutely produce cold wind without causing frost.”

Chen Kewen wiped off the heavy sweat on his forehead and felt nervous. The technology of producing cold wind without causing frost was not a patent of Binghai Refrigeration. The refrigeration equipment with such a function in the factory were just some products following the trend. The research team did not make any breakthrough in it.

“Show them to me then.”

Ding Qianlie’s noncommittal tone made Chen Kewen feel even uneasier. He led the way in fear.

In front of a small warehouse, the storeman opened the door. However, Ding Qianlie did not go in but chatted with the storeman, who was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Ding Ning walked into the warehouse alone.

Chen Kewen was confused by the scene and did not know what Ding Qianlie was doing.

Ten minutes later, Ding Ning walked out with a smile and nodded his head. After that, Ding Qianlie told the storeman to leave while she led Chen Kewen into the warehouse.

“Old Chen, you’ve worked for Binghai Refrigeration for many years, so I trust you very much. From this moment on, keep in mind every single word I said and do not leak it out; otherwise, you’ll lose your job,” Ding Qianlie said to Chen Kewen with a serious expression.

Cold sweat formed on Chen Kewen’s forehead. He nodded and bowed as he replied, “Yes, president. Rest assured that I won’t leak a single word out.”

He let out a sigh of relief secretly as he realized that Ding Qianlie was not going to fire him.

Half an hour later, Chen Kewen watched the Rolls-Royce Phantom leave with an astonished expression as if he had seen a ghost. His mind was in a mess, and a question kept sounding in his mind—how did he manage to do that?

However, it was not the point. The point was that Ding Qianlie said that his annual salary would be doubled if he could accomplish what she told and keep the secret.

Earning a million every year was what he never dared to dream about. However, now, it was within his reach.
