These equipment were imported from abroad, and it was also the first time that their factory would be using this equipment.

The assistant really didn’t take into account some details—most of the equipment they used before only needed the parts to be moved into the factory. Then they’d ask a technician to come over and assemble it. He didn’t expect that this company’s equipment would have such strict requirements.

“Is the technician here? Can he come over now?” the supervisor asked.

“The technician and debugger arranged by the other company are not yet in our city. They will arrive the day after tomorrow,” the assistant replied.

After thinking about it, the assistant suggested, “How about we let the workers unload the boxes first and put them in the open space against the wall by the entrance of the factory, and then wait until the other party’s technicians come over the day after tomorrow. Then we can move them in at that time and install them together?”

As soon as the assistant said this, a clamor arose from the temporary porters on site.

“We’ve all come here tonight, you can’t just let us do it halfway.”

“That’s right. If it wasn’t for the sake of our previous work with you, I wouldn’t have come today. I originally had another job of unloading goods tonight.”

“We have already began moving boxes, and the arrival of the truck has even been delayed. Today’s wages still have to be paid to us as mentioned before at 8 yuan per unit.”

The supervisor also frowned and said disapprovingly, “Today all these boxes need to be unloaded from the truck anyway. If we have to find porters again for the day after tomorrow or ask our own factory workers to move it then, we will incur more costs, and the original installation cost would be more. Usually these outer packaging are handled and even cleaned up by the porters, but if we go with that plan, we would still have to work hard to open them when the technicians arrive.

“The additional cost is not high, but who will pay for it? Will it be deducted from your salary?” The supervisor looked at the assistant and asked.

“And I’ve already called in the report, saying that the equipment would be in place tonight and can be debugged and put into trial operation by tomorrow. Now you’re telling me that the technician over there won’t arrive until the day after tomorrow?”

Facing the supervisor’s rebuke, the assistant lowered his head.

“Where are Master Liu and Master Zeng from our factory? Does anyone know how to install this?” the supervisor asked. Without waiting for the assistant’s answer, she looked around the scene again and asked, “Are there any mechanics on site who could look at this?”

Hearing this, the assistant seemed to have thought of something and found Huang Yang and another person in the crowd, “Xiao Huang, Xiao Li, aren’t you mechanics? Let’s see if you can do this installation.”

Huang Yang, whose name was called, looked at the boxes in front of him in confusion.

When he helped unload in this factory before, he would occasionally help them with simple equipment installation, but that was just tightening a screw here and there and doing some small welding work. This kind of foreign equipment assembly was really not in line with his expertise.

Huang Yang looked at several boxes carefully and finally shook his head.

The other repairman who was named also looked at the packaging of the equipment, studying it, and finally said, “It should be based on the box numbers. This one should be placed against the wall, and this one…”

The repairman began giving out instructions.

Just when several people were about to adjust the position of the equipment according to the repairman’s instructions, they were interrupted by Lin Cheng.

“Turn this box 180 degrees. The outward side would then be facing inward, close to the power box,” Lin Cheng said.

“Turn it around?” Everyone looked at Lin Cheng with puzzled faces.

Lin Cheng pointed to a symbol on the outer box and explained to everyone, “This symbol means connect to the power input.”

Everyone looked at what Lin Cheng’s finger was pointing to, and sure enough they saw a logo in an inconspicuous place, as well as a row of incomprehensible text labels.

Lin Cheng looked at the mark on the carton on the other side and said, “In addition, place No. 2 box at a distance of 1±0.5cm.”

“Brother Cheng, can you do this? Have you done it before?” Huang Yang asked, looking at Lin Cheng in surprise.

Even the supervisor on the side heard the question and looked at Lin Cheng.

“No,” Lin Cheng said calmly.

After finishing speaking, Lin Cheng looked at the several pieces of fully boxed equipments and said, “But it shouldn’t be difficult.”

“Is there an instruction manual?” Lin Cheng asked.

“Yes,” the assistant on the side quickly found an instruction manual in the information package sent with the goods and handed it to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng took the manual and read it briefly.

Seeing Lin Cheng’s serious look, Huang Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Cheng, can you understand English?”

“Yes, but…”

“Ah?”

“This is German,” Lin Cheng explained and directly translated the first page of the instruction manual into Chinese for them.

The supervisor took the manual and translated the page using the translation software in her mobile phone, and realized that what Lin Cheng said was correct.

Suddenly, the supervisor looked at Lin Cheng with a bit of surprise and trust in her eyes.

Lin Cheng carefully read the equipment assembly, installation and debugging instructions at the back of the manual.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Cheng looked at the supervisor in front of him and said, “I should be able to unpack and assemble these equipment, right up to the before the final step of technical debugging.”

“Are you sure?” The supervisor looked at Lin Cheng doubtfully. She read the contents of the manual using translation software, and she could barely understand the words. But even if she understood the text, she still didn’t understand the installation part. She didn’t even understand how to dismantle the outer box and those disposable positioning and stabilizing parts. Therefore, the supervisor did not believe that Lin Cheng would be able to install it after reading the instructions.

“Just this one, you can let me try it first,” Lin Cheng pointed to the three boxes next to him that had already been placed in their proper position under his instructions.
