Chapter 1339: Chapter 640: The Huge Gap in Targeted Skill Talents_2

Now, there are already various parameters of the Unlimited Power Automobile available in the public opinion.

For example, the fastest acceleration to 100 kilometers takes 2.5 seconds.

For example, the three corresponding gears that can drive the car at its highest persistent speed.

For example, the cost of using the light energy receiver-converter, which is the fee standard for using the automobile. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Of course, the selling price couldn’t be omitted, which is 1.8 million yuan in the domestic sales market.

There are already a lot of messages about these in public opinion.

After the company’s server was overwhelmed, the sales department immediately took action; they couldn’t possibly spend a fortune to buy or lease super-large servers because they weren’t an internet company and wouldn’t have a continuous flow of traffic.

Once the car sales were complete, or after the peak of enthusiasm had passed, the traffic would decrease dramatically, and spending money to buy or lease large servers would be uneconomical.

The sales department’s solution was to collaborate with internet companies, placing the car selling page on the website and inside the APP of the internet company, displaying it on the platform of the internet company. Then, users who paid the reservation deposit could jump to the internal pages for subsequent payment and services.

If the reservation deposit wasn’t paid, it was impossible to access the company’s server, and the corresponding webpage would not open.

But then the next problem arose.

The sales department set the reservation deposit to one thousand yuan, which did not mean the car was reserved for one thousand yuan, but rather, by paying one thousand yuan, one could jump to the company’s page, awaiting the next step of the purchasing operation.

Because the company hadn’t decided when to start official sales to the public, the icon for the next purchasing operation was greyed out, still awaiting the time to be opened.

After Zhao Yi returned to the company, the first thing he was supposed to do was handle this issue. Then, he heard the sales manager, Yu Mengxia, complaining with a wry smile, "There are too many reservations. It’s only been two days, and already seventy thousand people have paid the reservation deposit."

"Sister Yu, did you think of a solution?" Zhao Yi asked, looking up.

"This is simple, draw lots!" Yu Mengxia directly offered the solution, "But it would be best if you explain it yourself. Those who reserved early will definitely be dissatisfied."

"How about this, there’s another method," she continued.

Yu Mengxia went on, "We can offer compensation. For each user who spent 1000 yuan to reserve the car, the refund can be an additional ten yuan. Ten yuan isn’t much, one percent, but it can quell the voices of discontent, at least proving we didn’t earn any interest with their money."

Zhao Yi listened thoughtfully and nodded in satisfaction, "That’s a very good plan. Ten yuan per user, we can afford that. But we need to set a deadline, let’s make it three days. Publish an announcement in advance, stating that there are too many reservations, then explain the refund scheme. Also, negotiate with the internet company so that when the time comes, we’ll draw lots or process refunds as needed."

"Alright!"

Yu Mengxia nodded her head in agreement and left.

Zhao Yi had no time to rest before another manager walked in, Sun Hongwen, the manufacturing supervisor, who brought up the issue of car manufacturing.

The production of Unlimited Power Automobile had already started, but roughly only thirty cars could be assembled per day.

Sun Hongwen said, "The biggest limitation isn’t manufacturing, but calibrating, the calibration of the light energy receiver-converter. We’ve tried everything, but we are severely short-staffed."

"Changyuan Auto on the other hand can have several hundred cars come off the assembly line every day, completing production within a month. But we simply can’t keep up."

Zhao Yi gave it some thought before he realized the issue was the shortage of staff for calibrating the light energy receiver-converters.

The calibration work for the light energy receiver-converter was carried out by Yixing Unlimited Power Company, which involved establishing a communication channel with the Energy-Gathering Satellite.

This task required manual labor and corresponding electronic equipment to perform a series of ’decryption’ adjustments on the micro-light beams within the internal space light energy transmission device.

Each space light energy transmission device corresponded to a unique key, and for each key, adjustments needed to be made to the direction of hundreds, or even thousands, of micro-light beams.

Deciphering keys wasn’t the problem because the company had a technical team designated for setting and decoding keys. Each car was associated with a key that would be issued to the team responsible for calibrating space light energy transmission devices.

The problem lay with the team responsible for calibrating space light energy transmission devices—

There was a severe shortage of staff!

These tasks did not require very high technical demands because they did not involve an understanding of underlying theory nor were they confidential. They only required adjusting the direction of light beams according to the keys, but they still needed a certain technical foundation, much like the simplest electronic repairs, which require some understanding of the inner workings of the electronics.

Clearly,

it was difficult to find people with an in-depth understanding of space connection devices.

Therefore, the team calibrating space light energy transmission devices could not just recruit people from outside; highly educated, technically skilled PhDs had to repeatedly carry out the fine-tuning of light beams when their proper job should have been high-tech research and development.

This was a serious waste of talent!

Zhao Yi thought carefully for a while but couldn’t think of a solution, then he suddenly remembered the space technology information company, which faced the same issue. They had many micro-light beam direction calibrations to carry out, completed by highly educated talents, including professors from electronics, mechanics, optics, and other fields.

"Professional technical talents are still too scarce."
