Chapter 102 Acting with Conscience
After tidying up, An Ning booked the next flight to Germany.
Going to Germany, she had a heavy burden; many foreign goods couldn't be bought with money alone.
As for technical products, especially sets of experimental equipment, exports are restricted overseas. Even if they are exported, there are many restrictions.
She didn't know how many means she would need, how much persuasion, and how many connections she would have to make.
Seeing Li Fan's worried expression, An Ning smiled and straightened his collar.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at Li Fan's eyes with a smile as bright as flowers, "Worried?"
Li Fan sniffed the faint fragrance in the air and advised, "Um... This time, just finalize the main equipment. Don't try to cover every aspect. It's enough to have what we need for now. When you're in a foreign country, don't be too stubborn."
An Ning gave him a look, "Do you men always treat women like children? Do you see me as that fragile?"
At this point, she glanced at Lao Zhang, who had already turned away, and leaned closer to Li Fan's ear, "Don't worry, I won't touch a drop of alcohol this time in Germany..."
Li Fan grinned; I was clearly not worried about that! The way you said it makes it sound like I'm afraid you'll go to Germany to seduce men.
No, we're not a couple, so I'm not afraid you'll seduce men! Uh, wait, seducing men is still not good... Why am I even worried about this issue?!
Li Fan's eyes twitched, sighing, "Ah, you're not weak, you're just too strong-willed, and you tend to dwell on things unnecessarily. It's fine in Tiancheng, at least we can help you there. But in a foreign country where you have no relatives, please don't be so stubborn... How about I go with you?"
"Who says I have no relatives in Germany? I've stayed in Germany for several years. Not to brag, but back then, there were gentlemen lining up for me for hundreds of meters. If I had given in, you would have had a German brother-in-law by now."
Seeing his constipated expression, An Ning couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out her slender fingers and tapped his forehead teasingly, "Your task is more challenging than mine, don't worry about me. Behave at home and finish the model. Besides, I'd rather not be alone with someone who raises the flag every morning. It's more dangerous than getting drunk. Okay, go back now, I should board the plane."
With that, she clasped her hands behind her back, took a step back, and made a playful salute. "Goodbye!"
At this moment, the soft voice of the girl in the waiting hall reminded passengers that the CA1622 flight to Munich was boarding.
An Ning pulled out her boarding pass from her bag, waved, and turned away.
Lao Zhang immediately coughed lightly and waved goodbye to her as she left.
Back at the company, Li Fan didn't hesitate to call the Three Study Buddies and summon them over.
His idea was to have the model ready before An Ning returned, so that it could be thoroughly tested in the lab.
An EA888 engine assembly, more than eighty drawings, over a thousand parts, each one needing a computer model. The workload was immense, and Li Fan couldn't do it all himself, not because he couldn't, but mainly because he was afraid of making mistakes in the midst of busyness.
So the deeper reason for bringing the three of them over was that their modeling was several times better than his.
For EA888, Li Fan couldn't afford to be careless.
This engine had a reputation for being two-tiered; its power and performance were unquestionable, as evidenced by the models it powered. All the models equipped with this engine were the most competitive ones under Volkswagen and Audi. But at the same time, its failure rate was among the highest of all engines.
In life, Li Fan could be carefree and not too particular. But for the matter at hand, he couldn't afford to be a little lax. Even the smallest oversight could cause big trouble and accidents in the future.
So even though the drawings in hand were already in the production stage, he still decided to do the modeling and then have it thoroughly tested in the lab to ensure nothing went wrong.
It might be a bit redundant, it might be a bit costly.
But since it was something he made, he had to take responsibility. Conscience, Li Ma taught him that when he was just a kid.
In the time and space he knew, no matter which country's car company or luxury brand it was, once it entered China, it changed immediately.
Haven't you seen the so-called craftsmen spirit of the Little RB Sheet Metal, as brittle as instant noodles? The meticulous and demanding Germans, they kept it simple and straightforward. In the Chinese market, which seems to be foolish and rich every day, it seems as if they have agreed to collectively dig out these genes from their bodies.
Even the domestic car companies, they learn to imitate. They talk about feelings in front of customers, but behind those feelings, they lose their conscience.
In this world, you can be bullied if you're backward. If you have shortcomings, you will be exploited and market shares will be divided. The rules of the world have always been like this.
These days seemed to pass particularly quickly.
Lao Zhang watched as his disciples worked hard, feeling relieved that there would be someone to carry on after he was gone, urging them on in the workshop every day.
Li Fan, on the other hand, was stuck in his office every day, fighting alongside the Three Study Buddies until dawn. They only had time to call An Ning during meals.
Although An Ning repeatedly assured him over the phone that everything was going smoothly, each call was like a beacon of hope. But Li Fan knew, things couldn't be as beautiful as she described.
The reason was simple; it had been almost a week, and she hadn't mentioned the return.
For this, Li Fan could only repeatedly remind her not to force herself. But this woman's personality was the opposite of her appearance, and he didn't know if she would listen.
There wasn't much time to worry too much. Under Li Fan's high standards, the progress of modeling was slow and the workload was large. The four of them were determined to finish early before An Ning returned to test the prototype.
So they worked as if they were on chicken blood, not even a week had passed, and they had already consumed nine boxes of coffee. They either had the employees bring meals or ate instant noodles directly.
This time, the four of them had a tacit understanding not to tell Cheng Ke. They didn't dare to let this girl come over.
If she saw a room full of instant noodle boxes, the Demon King Cheng Ke would definitely start cooking! They really didn't want to try her cooking skills again.
