Chapter 110 Lin Xiaowen, a Conscientious and Responsible Person
On the afternoon of the third day, Lin Xiaoqiang was running outside when his phone rang.
It was the lady from the fifth floor calling, her voice filled with joy: "Young man! My apartment has been rented out! Just now, a young woman came to see the apartment, fell in love with it at first sight, and said she'd move in tomorrow! She said she saw that sign you posted at the entrance of the market, and it looked reliable!"
Lin Xiaoqiang offered his congratulations repeatedly.
"Thank you!" the eldest sister said repeatedly.
"I'll update your information online right away. Once our website goes live, anyone looking to rent a place can search online!" Lin Xiaoqiang pressed his advantage.
"That's great! My relatives also have rooms to rent, I'll recommend them to you!" the older woman said readily.
The first battle was won.
Several other landlords who tried the service also reported that their properties had been rented out.
While it's not entirely due to the tables, a unified, clear, and well-placed information display undoubtedly greatly increases exposure and success rate.
The news spread within the information gathering team, boosting morale.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Xiaoqiang promoted this "service for authorization" model and asked Lin Xiaowen to optimize the form design based on actual feedback, adding columns such as "real photos of the property" and "schedule a viewing".
Lin Xiaowen's work is becoming increasingly demanding yet well-organized.
As valid information continued to be entered, she found that her initial recording method was no longer sufficient.
Some information fields are missing, and some descriptions are vague, causing trouble for subsequent organization and import into the website.
She also took the initiative to design a "Housing Information Collection Registration Form", printed it out, and distributed it to each team member who went out to collect information.
The form clearly outlines the items to be filled in, and also includes a "Communication Notes" section, requiring the recording of key details and impressions from conversations with the landlord.
She stipulated that every valid piece of information must be entered into a complete registration form; otherwise, it would not be recorded.
Some people initially found it troublesome, but Lin Xiaowen persisted.
She patiently explained, "Spending an extra minute filling it out clearly now will save you ten minutes later on to check and guess. The website needs accurate and useful information, not a bunch of messy notes."
She established an information ledger, with each piece of information having a unique number and a status categorized as "pending verification," "verified," "rented," and "removed from the market."
Before leaving get off work each day, she would summarize the day's data and update it on the whiteboard. It was immediately clear which areas were progressing rapidly and which types of housing were scarce.
Lin Feng once passed by, stood in front of the whiteboard for a while, looked at the ever-increasing numbers and clear classifications, and nodded to Lin Xiaowen: "Well done."
Just those three simple words made Lin Xiaowen feel much less tired after days of exhaustion.
After the model was successfully implemented, the efficiency of information collection improved significantly.
Landlords discovered that these young people weren't just "asking questions," but genuinely helpful, and their attitude shifted from wariness and perfunctoriness to acceptance and welcome.
Some landlords will even proactively provide rental information for their neighbors.
The average number of verified valid housing listings per day has steadily increased from single digits to a dozen or twenty.
Although we are still far from the goal of an "ocean of information," we have finally taken a solid first step.
These days, Lin Xiaowen stays in her office, entering the continuously sent information registration forms into the website's backend one by one.
The keyboard clicked softly, and the number representing valid information on the screen slowly but steadily climbed.
One hundred and sixty, one hundred and seventy... Her eyes were a little dry from staring at the screen for a long time, but she felt at ease.
Every piece of information could become the first place a future renter finds in this city.
That afternoon, she was checking the contact number for a house in Dachong Village.
Lin Feng suddenly summoned Lin Xiaowen, Lin Xiaoqiang, Wu Wenjie, and Zhou Zhongcheng to his office.
"I just received a call from Xinfeng Electronics Factory. A new order for MP3 players, a new batch of 10,000 motherboards has arrived on the production line and surface mount technology has begun. However, for this batch, several key capacitors and resistors have been replaced by a new second-tier supplier."
He looked at Lin Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, I've been putting in charge of data entry for a while now, thank you for your hard work. Your main responsibility is still quality inspection. You must be present for this batch to oversee the incoming material inspection and first article testing. If this batch of boards is fine, we can confidently supply materials for the tens of thousands of sets that follow."
Lin Xiaowen felt a little disappointed. The website information entry had just been sorted out, and her brother's new promotion model was just starting out; it was precisely at this time that they needed manpower.
She also had another plan: if she stayed in the science park to work, she could be with Lin Feng every day. But if she went to be stationed at Xinfeng Electronics Factory, she would be unable to see him for some time.
But she also knew that the MP3 business was the foundation of Lin Feng's business. With the continued success of MP3 sales and capital inflows, "Tongcheng Life Network" could continue to burn money.
As the quality control supervisor, she had no choice but to take on this responsibility.
"I'll do as you say," she replied.
"The task of entering housing information will be temporarily handed over to the Human Resources Department."
"Okay, Mr. Lin. We'll take over immediately," Zhou Zhongcheng nodded.
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded, then looked at Wu Wenjie, "A-Jie, you go to Xinfa with Xiaowen. Coordinate with them to ensure that the factory responds to and implements Xiaowen's quality inspection requirements and material traceability needs as soon as possible."
If you encounter any excuses, try communicating with Boss Chen first. If that doesn't work, then I'll contact Boss Chen. Also, keep an eye on the production schedule to ensure on-time delivery, and contact me by phone immediately if there are any problems.
"Understood!" Wu Wenjie replied smoothly.
Finally, Lin Feng looked at Lin Xiaoqiang: "Information gathering cannot stop for a moment. Our website will be launched soon, and the quantity and authenticity of the content are key."
Your new on-the-ground promotion model seems effective at first glance. You should continue to deepen and refine it, aiming to accumulate at least three hundred genuine and valid property listings before the website officially launches. Any questions?
Lin Xiaoqiang firmly stated, "No problem, boss! I'll personally lead the data collection team, and we'll continue to optimize the process."
"Okay!" Lin Feng continued, "Get ready now. We'll be heading to Xinfeng Factory in an hour. Xiaowen, send Zhou Zhongcheng your ledger specifications, data entry instructions, and current information list."
After leaving Lin Feng's office, Lin Xiaowen immediately returned to her seat and quickly compiled a "Key Points for Information Entry Review and Current Ledger Explanation," which she then printed out and handed to Zhou Zhongcheng.
Lin Xiaoqiang seized the time and reminded Zhou Zhongcheng again about several properties that were currently being followed up on and had the greatest potential.
An hour later, Wu Wenjie found a car and drove Lin Feng and Lin Xiaowen to Xinfeng Electronics Factory outside the pass.
The scenery outside the car window gradually changed from a bustling science park to a somewhat chaotic industrial area.
Everyone understands that local life websites are the future, but MP3 orders are the guarantee of living in the present; neither side can afford to go wrong.
It was already 3 p.m. when we arrived at Xinfeng Electronics Factory.
They were received by Mr. Chen, the owner of Xinfeng Electronics Factory, and a production vice president surnamed Zhao.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Boss Chen led them directly to the workshop, his face bearing the polite smile typical of businessmen, but a hint of tension lurked in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin! We've reviewed the qualifications of the new supplier, and the sample tests have passed." Boss Chen said as he walked. "It's just that when the bulk order arrives, according to the rules, you need to confirm the first piece."
"Boss Chen is methodical in his work," Lin Feng praised, but his attitude was meticulous. "This batch of materials is crucial. It's not just about this batch of 10,000 units; it also relates to whether the supply of tens of thousands more sets can use the same channel. Stable quality is essential for smooth subsequent orders."
He stopped and looked at Boss Chen: "Xiaowen is my quality control supervisor, and her judgment represents my judgment. During this on-site assignment, the factory should provide as much support as possible in terms of testing conditions, data retrieval, and her personal office and temporary accommodation."
Ah Jie will coordinate. If you need anything, just communicate with him. If he can't solve it, contact me directly.
The words were addressed to Boss Chen, but Vice President Zhao, who was standing to the side, understood that this was setting the tone and also supporting Lin Xiaowen and Wu Wenjie.
Boss Chen nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course. Everything is arranged, Mr. Lin, please rest assured. Mr. Zhao, please cooperate fully with Supervisor Lin and General Manager Wu."
Upon entering the somewhat noisy SMT workshop, Lin Xiaowen quickly got into the zone.
She first had a brief exchange with Vice President Zhao and the factory's QC (Quality Control) team leader, reviewing the specifications for the new materials, the incoming inspection report, and the COC (Certificate of Conformity) provided by the supplier. Then, she requested to see the sealed samples of the materials and the first piece of board that had already been mounted.
"Manager Lin, this way please." The QC team leader led her to the testing station.
Lin Xiaowen put on anti-static gloves and turned on the instrument.
She worked quickly, first using an LCR meter to measure the capacitance and equivalent series resistance, and then testing the leakage current.
Next, a precision bridge was used to test the resistance value and accuracy of the resistors, and the temperature drift coefficient was inquired about.
Her question was very specific: "Are there any records of the storage humidity for this batch of materials?"
"Was baking carried out according to regulations before going live? What were the baking temperature and time?"
"What solder paste grade was used? Could you please show me the reflow oven temperature profile?"
Vice President Zhao and the QC team leader could answer some of the questions immediately, while others required checking records on-site or asking the process engineer.
Wu Wenjie followed beside him, quietly recording every point that needed coordination or confirmation. Occasionally, during a break in the wait, he would pass a message to the person in charge to urge them on the progress.
Lin Feng mostly just watched from the sidelines, occasionally exchanging a few words with Boss Chen in low voices to learn about the overall production schedule and capacity.
He didn't interfere with Lin Xiaowen's specific work, but that silent attention itself was a form of invisible support.
After the initial electrical performance test of the first board passed, Lin Xiaowen insisted on conducting an X-ray inspection of the mounting quality to check for potential problems such as cold solder joints, bridging, and missing components.
This process took some more time.
Ultimately, all the test data fell within the acceptable range, and some parameters were even better than the standard.
After carefully checking the last report, Lin Xiaowen looked up and said to Vice President Zhao, who had been waiting beside her:
"Mr. Zhao, the first test data meets the requirements. You can notify the production line to start mass production of this batch according to the existing process parameters."
Standing to the side, Lin Feng watched Lin Xiaowen's earnest and responsible demeanor and grew to admire the girl more and more.
