Chapter 172 I'm Not Afraid, What Are You Afraid Of?
Zhuang Ziqing left without saying goodbye, which caught Yang Huan by surprise.

After making a phone call to inquire, Zhuang Ziqing said that something urgent happened at home and he could no longer work here.

Yang Huan saw that she had made up her mind to go, so of course she wouldn't force her to stay, because Zhuang Ziqing's departure would at best make him lose a man around him, that's all.

The legal counsel of WeChat Company has been recruited again.

And Zhuang Ziqing didn't really involve any core secrets during this period of time.

On the contrary, she still hasn't received her salary for more than one month, which is nearly 20 RMB.

Yang Huan also specifically asked if she needed help, and she said no, and she was very sorry for the sudden resignation and so on.

It came suddenly, and the resignation was also sudden.

But what can be done?

He is still in the probationary period, and there is no formal contract, so we can't force him to stay, right?

Besides, everyone has already left.

"Forget it, let's go, it's just a pity for my four golden flowers!"

Originally, Yang Huan was still thinking about finding a chance to show off the four golden flowers Zhang Ning, Zhuang Ziqing, Lin Yuner and Horikita Maki beside him, but now that one of them is missing, it's like playing mahjong.

But Yang Huan's mood was not affected by Zhuang Ziqing's departure, isn't he just a more beautiful employee?

What's more, he is really busy.

On the second day of the Sea and Sky Feast, Sunseeker Yachting CEO Steward McEntire brought the company's core management team to China and participated in the Sea and Sky Feast.

During this period, on behalf of Yang Huan, he signed a luxury contract of [-] yachts with the Yang Group. The total amount is astonishing, and the transaction amount will exceed ten figures every year in the next five years.

Once the contract was signed, it immediately detonated the entire Haitian Feast.

Everyone was shocked by this amazing deal, and the Haitian Feast officials also felt very proud, and specially held a huge press conference to promote this deal grandly, and let Sunseeker Yachts be exposed to the media again.

With the help of this press conference, McEntire also solemnly announced that the construction of Sunseeker Yachts' manufacturing base and R&D center in Longhai City will start, and it is expected to be officially put into use one year later.

"This will be the world's top and most professional yacht manufacturing and technology research and development base!"

At the same time, McIntyre also announced a brand new superyacht project from Sunseeker Yachting named Zeus.

"The Zeus project is an important plan we have formulated for all high-end customers. The most important point of this plan is the high degree of private customization of customers. The most popular saying is DIY!"

McIntyre's words immediately caused an uproar among journalists and professionals familiar with yachts below.

Now even yachts are starting to DIY?
“By integrating related technologies, we will provide all customers with maximum private customization services under the premise of ensuring safety and quality, including yacht superstructure, interior structure and layout, plywood design, etc., and even if conditions permit, the power system will also be moderately released for customization.”

Now all world-famous yachts basically do not give too much freedom in private customization, and they even take very strong measures to force customers to bow their heads, because they are high-ranking famous brands.

But this time, the private customization of Sunseeker Yachts is to provide customers with the best and highest quality products and services.

"The name of this project is Zeus, which means that our customers are God!"

McIntyre’s words and Sunseeker’s plan not only aroused strong repercussions in the Chinese yacht industry, but also attracted the attention and discussion of countless counterparts and the yacht industry around the world.

Because according to this plan, customers will have a very large sense of autonomy and participation in the design and construction of a yacht, which is unacceptable for other luxury yachts.

Coincidentally, Aston Martin also announced on the same day that the Zeus private customization plan will also be launched next year, with the simultaneous launch of three new models, so that customers can truly participate in the customization process of their favorite cars and encourage customers to give full play to their imagination of cars.

"In the next year, we will set up official flagship stores in China's capital, Longhai and other first-tier cities. Each flagship store will be equipped with a genius. He may be from our company's design team or an old employee of our company."

"What we can promise is that these geniuses know every model of Aston Martin and every service. They will provide all customers with the highest quality consulting services and professional opinions face-to-face in each flagship store to ensure the success of Zeus's private customization."

Dr. Ulrich Bates, who came to China from the UK to participate in the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Aston Martin Automobile Manufacturing Base in Longhai City, also had very high expectations for private customization.

As for why it was not launched before, Ulrich Bates explained to reporters that it was because the technology was immature.

"In the past six months, we have invested 2000 million pounds in the research and development of various technologies. We have restarted the research and development that has been interrupted in the past few years, including a new smart platform, which makes private customization possible."

As for being acquired by capital from China, Ulrich Bates said that Aston Martin will usher in unprecedented development opportunities.

"The main reason why we put the first overseas manufacturing base in China is that China is the most powerful and developed manufacturing country in the world, and we will integrate the most efficient supply system and industrial chain here."

"Of course, we have no intention of completely withdrawing from the UK, not now, nor ever."

"Gayton headquarters will continue to operate as before, all our employees, teams will be as usual, and even the R&D department will hire more design and R&D talents."

"And we can promise that, relying on China's strong manufacturing and industrial chain, coupled with Aston Martin's consistent strict quality requirements and quality control capabilities, our quality and service will not decline, but will be greatly improved."

At the scene, an American reporter stationed in China asked whether Aston Martin chose to enter China, whether it valued the Chinese auto market, and when Chinese labor salaries were relatively low, Ulrich Bates denied it.

"If someone still says that they entered China because of low wages, then they don't understand manufacturing at all."

Ulrich Bates answered his opinion very frankly.

"Before our boss, Mr. Yang, invested in Aston Martin, I didn't have much impression of China's manufacturing industry. I learned more about it from newspapers. I also thought that the reason why the manufacturing industry is developed here is because of low wages."

"But later, Mr. Yang told me that you should go to my motherland to take a good look and investigate."

"In less than half a year, I brought my team to China for inspection three times. I found that there are more engineers, more flexible labor force, and a large number of supporting factories that can immediately increase production capacity. There is an entire industrial chain of automobiles here."

"You want to customize special screws, turn left when you go out, you want tires, turn right when you go out, you want aluminum alloy wheels, walk two streets forward, whatever you want, you can find it here, and you can find it very quickly, and provide it to you in the shortest time."

"But in the UK, we need to order from overseas, then transport it to Southampton by cargo ship, and then transport it from Southampton to Gayton. How much time will it take for the whole process? How much cost will it cost?"

"Our new factory needs thousands of industrial technicians and employees. When I was inspecting, I said that it will start next year. Do we need to start recruiting now, because in the UK, it will take at least a year to recruit so many technicians."

"But people in China told me, no, everything can be done in a maximum of three weeks."

"I was stunned at the time, do you know? Things that we may not be able to do in a year, in China, can be done in two to three weeks."

"That's why we came to China!"

As a highly respected figure in the automotive industry, Ulrich Bates' words are indeed somewhat shocking.

Especially when there is widespread prejudice against Chinese manufacturing at home and abroad.

Hearing his tone, he simply regards China as a dream paradise for manufacturers.

For the various practices of Ulrich Bates, Aston Martin and Sunseeker Yachts, there is a lot of praise and support in China.

But abroad, there are generally two voices.

One is support, thinking that going to China, where the manufacturing industry is the strongest and most complete, to produce and manufacture is in line with the trend.

For Aston Martin and Sunseeker Yachting, it is also the best way out of the predicament.

But there is another voice that thinks this is a conspiracy by Chinese investors.

Some people even think that in the near future, the British manufacturing bases of both companies will announce the closure.

But as soon as this kind of remarks appeared in the media, Aston Martin and Sunseeker Yachts responded immediately, announcing that they would recruit another [-] and [-] employees respectively to cope with the increase in production capacity of the two companies.

This also makes the latter statement self-defeating.

Back to Sea and Sky Feast.

Entering the fourth day of the exhibition, Sunseeker Yachts once again ushered in a heavyweight guest.

That is Norman Foster, the British national treasure-level architectural design master!
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of many domestic media reporters and fans.

Norman Foster had previously designed the cabin structure and interior decoration layout for Sunseeker Yachts. This time, he made a special trip to China for the Sunseeker Yacht platform, and at the same time came to discuss two business deals with Yang Huan.

"Master Huan, I took a group to inspect the scene."

On Yang Huan's yacht, Norman Foster felt a headache about the project he was about to take over.

"It is really very difficult to build an artificial island, a large football field and a top luxury hotel at the confluence of the Test River and the Yiqin River."

Needless to say the football field, Yang Huan's request is to follow the standards of the Nou Camp and the Bernabéu.

That's a football field that can accommodate 10 people. How big does it have to be?
There is also a hotel, which is not just a hotel, but also a yacht club and a marina, on which helicopters can be parked. With these two landmark buildings as the center, a cross-sea bridge is used to connect Southampton, Nutley on the north bank of the Solent on the east bank of the Yiqin River, and Hayes on the south bank of the Solent Channel.

Just looking at it this way, the project does not seem to be amazing. After all, China has more super projects that are more shocking than this one.

But the thing is, Southampton is the largest cargo and passenger terminal in the UK.

In other words, under the two major projects and the river-crossing bridge, it is necessary to be able to drive large freighters and passenger ships.

In addition, the construction of football fields and hotels has to consider issues such as transportation, water, electricity, and sewage, and the football field has to consider ventilation effects.

This is pretty tricky!
"Norman, to be honest, if it's not difficult, I'm not interested in doing it!"

Yang Huan was not polite to him at all.

"I want to engage in these two projects to make the impossible a reality, just like the people of Dubai created such an oasis in the desert. I want everyone to be amazed by these two projects."

Norman Foster thought it would be an understatement to be amazed if it did become a reality.

After all, the straight-line width of the Solent Strait is only three or four kilometers.

"I will do my best!" Norman Foster also felt that this was a challenge.

"Don't worry, Norman, since even I believe you can do it, then I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Norman Foster shook his head and laughed.

That's right, the big benefactors are not afraid, so what do you have to be afraid of?

"However, Master Huan, I still have a request."
