According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Zhao Shanhai notified Shuangxi TV Factory to first send fifty TV sets to the electronics factory.
The other party replied that they hadn't come up with a pricing plan yet and told him to wait for news.
Actually, it was because he was dissatisfied with the price Xing Baohua had previously offered.
Selling below the factory price can easily lead to accusations of asset loss, and who can afford to bear that responsibility?
Zhao Shanhai hurriedly reported the situation to Xing Baohua, saying that Shuangxi had not yet figured out the price, so should they wait on the TV issue or find another factory to cooperate with?
Xing Baohua picked up the phone and called Director Zhang of Luchuan Chenguang.
The factory that supplies components for Taishan TVs asked him to help them contact fifty 12-inch black and white TVs.
About ten minutes later, Factory Director Zhang called back and said, "Taishan TV Factory is offering a factory price of 286 yuan per unit, including shipping. Ask Xing Baohua when he wants it."
"Could you lower the price for me? I need 10,000 units."
"Wait for my call?" Factory Director Zhang said before hanging up the phone.
Finally, we shipped 10,000 units at a friendly price of 280 yuan per unit, including shipping. We also sent a deputy factory manager and a sales manager to accompany the first batch of goods to sign the contract.
Xing Baohua assigned Zhao Shanhai to be in charge of receiving the goods.
At the same time, Zhao Shanhai was instructed to notify the publicity department to cooperate and inform local and provincial media that their factory wanted to give back to the community by holding the "Hope Star Program".
Just as Zhao Shanhai was about to leave after receiving his orders, Xing Baohua called him back.
Have the secretary notify the publicity department to come over for a short meeting!
This guy felt that simply donating was too low-key, and that it would be better to have multiple departments collaborate on this.
Although it's called the publicity department, it actually consists of only three or four people, mainly exterior designers who draw renderings.
Guo Kai, the chief designer, is currently temporarily taking on the role of publicity, which is not about public relations with the media, but rather about product advertising.
The problem is that Xing Baohua currently has no one else available; many people hold multiple positions.
Once everyone had arrived, Xing Baohua began to explain the plan that had suddenly come to him, while his secretary took notes.
Xing Baohua's first thought was to cooperate with the Good Children's Palace, where there was also a donation point.
The Children's Palace organizes a programming competition every month.
The event will still be sponsored by Dami Technology. The first, second, and third place winners will each receive a monetary prize of 20, 15, and 10 yuan respectively. The remaining participants will receive 5 yuan and 2 yuan respectively.
The top three winners of the year will receive more rewards, and among these students, those who are admitted to university will have their tuition fees subsidized by Dami Technology based on their ranking.
If you sign an employment agreement with Dami Technology in advance, all tuition fees will be provided by Dami Technology. However, there is a prerequisite: if you are expelled or unable to complete your studies for other reasons, the tuition fees and bonuses provided will be recovered.
Students who fail each semester will have their tuition sponsorship terminated, etc.
Students who are admitted to university not only receive tuition subsidies, but also various material rewards based on their grades, such as real computers, Walkmans, and language repeaters.
Xing Baohua couldn't compete with the allocation system for talent. The number of positions he finally managed to get was far too small—only a dozen, twenty, or thirty were enough.
Early training and early retention.
This forced Xing Baohua to resort to underhanded tactics to attract talent. Of course, it cost a considerable amount. But compared to the creativity and revenue brought by these talents, it's negligible. How much does it cost each year?
Ten or twenty million at most!
Large-scale donations have one minor consequence: a lack of teachers.
The only solution is to have teachers from various schools come to the electronics factory to learn basic programming first, and then teach them so they can teach students.
To get on the right track quickly, use a split learning approach: one person teaches two, two teach four, four teach eight...
Then, a teaching team will be formed and distributed to the donated schools across the country to teach substitute teachers.
Xing Baohua refused to believe that if things were done this way for ten years, no talent would emerge in China.
Xing Baohua put forward the general concept, and let them help refine the rest!
Three days later, the first batch of about fifty televisions ordered by Xing Baohua arrived, and Zhao Shanhai was responsible for receiving the goods. Xing Baohua was the one who ultimately signed the agreement.
Xu Shuai, his good brother, officially took office as the head of the logistics department.
From then on, logistics management will gradually become standardized, with separate warehouses and parts catalogs.
Under the framework set by Xing Baohua, the software team began developing logistics system software, financial system software, and so on.
After learning that Xing Baohua had purchased televisions from Taishan Television Factory, the two-way television factory complained to its supervisor.
They say Xing Baohua is untrustworthy; it was agreed that they would cover all the goods in their warehouse. They haven't given a quote yet because they haven't finalized a plan; couldn't they wait a couple more days?
Despite the complaints, the leader still had to accompany him to the electronics factory to find Xing Baohua again.
It's said that Taishan TV Factory only delivered fifty units, thankfully the quantity isn't large. This means there's still hope for Shuangxi TVs.
To everyone's surprise, Xing Baohua had already signed numerous purchase agreements, all with payment upon delivery. Such a good deal is rare; it's clear the electronics factory has plenty of money.
Taishan TV Factory is truly grateful, as those who make black and white TVs are currently facing tough times.
Those with money have all switched to color TVs, while those without are working even harder to save up for one. As for black and white TVs, there's a bit of overcapacity, and the technology is outdated.
It was no use when people from Shuangxi TV Factory came to Xing Baohua; they couldn't give him the price he wanted.
This guy doesn't want to be ripped off and spend more money. Wouldn't it be better to use the saved money for something else?
To give back to society, you first need to establish your brand, which is essentially like advertising.
Xing Baohua personally showed them the price in the order contract with Taishan: 280 yuan per unit. If Shuangxi offered that price, Xing Baohua would take them all without hesitation.
