Chapter 193 Chen Yansen: I want the equity of Dongfang!
It was half past ten in the evening, inside a large walled courtyard in Luzhou.
Just as Meng Yuanzhi was about to take a break, he received a reply message from his secretary. He thought about it for more than ten seconds and immediately decided to let the other party contact Orange Technology.
In 2012, Luzhou was not yet a new first-tier city, and its core industries were concentrated in home appliances, automobiles, LCD panels and food.
More than a decade later, Luzhou was nicknamed "Gambling City" by netizens.
First, three years ago, against all odds, it invested 80% of its fiscal revenue in Yidongfang. Second, five years later, it established a joint venture, Changxing Storage Technology, which promoted the localization of storage chips. Lenovo and Xiaomi are both its major customers.
This time, Meng Yuanzhi wanted to take another gamble, and he turned his attention to Orange Technology and Chen Yansen.
If the Orange mobile phone factory is willing to settle in Luzhou, it will provide at least tens of thousands of jobs. At the same time, it will drive the development of supporting industries such as chips, batteries, cameras and mobile phone accessories, attract talent inflows, and add tens of billions of industrial output value each year.
If Xu Zhenhui could understand this truth, Meng Yuanzhi would naturally understand it even more clearly.
After years of ups and downs, how could he not see the opportunities hidden behind this? Meng Yuanzhi looked deep, stroking the teacup in his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "Zhenhui, Zhenhui, you are still too petty. A mere 16 million factory building is just a year's rent for the Shenzhen factory to Chen Yansen. How could the other party agree to you?"
Besides, the transportation convenience of Xucheng cannot compare with that of Luzhou.
How dare Xu Cheng snatch what he wants?
The next morning, Chen Yansen walked into Building 8 and ran into Ye Qiuping who was walking out.
"Good morning, boss!" Ye Qiuping had a ruddy complexion and looked full of energy. She greeted with a smile, as if she had completely forgotten what happened yesterday evening.
Being good at living and not clingy, this is why Chen Yansen likes the older sister.
"Good morning." Chen Yansen nodded slightly, walked away from Ye Qiuping and went straight into the elevator.
"This guy looks like he's ready to pull up his pants and turn his back on us. He's a dog, a real dog!"
Ye Qiuping took a deep breath and couldn't help cursing in her heart.
With a ding, the elevator door slowly opened.
Chen Yansen pushed open the office door, sat down, turned on the computer, and checked the sales data of Pinbei and Orange Mall as usual.
After the release of Orange D1 and Orange C2, the sales volume of Orange C1 was inevitably affected.
Normally, the daily sales volume of the entire network is between 82,000 and 85,000 units. Yesterday, it was only 71,000, a month-on-month decrease of nearly 15%.
When the new product is officially released, the sales rate of Orange C1 may continue to decline.
Chen Yansen then opened Cao Dahua’s work email, and the report mainly focused on production plans, new factory areas and after-sales work.
Since mid-December last year, Orange C1 has switched from pre-sale mode to spot sales. Seeing that Orange D1 and Orange C2 are about to be launched on the market, Cao Dahua adjusted the production plan.
Simply put, after January 14, Orange C1's daily production capacity will be adjusted from 100,000 units to 50,000 units.
Whether there is a need for increase or decrease in the future will be adjusted in real time based on the sales of the three products.
As for the 50,000-square-meter factory that Xu Zhenhui mentioned yesterday, it has just been taken over and only 3,000 employees have been recruited. However, the Human Resources Department has guaranteed that they will be able to complete the recruitment plan for 6,000 people before the Spring Festival holiday.
After all, after Wang Teng’s wave of publicity, the entire southeast coastal manufacturing industry knew the name of the Orange Mobile Phone Factory.
A general worker on the assembly line can earn up to 7,000 yuan a month! In some small factories, only team leaders and supervisors can get this income.
Although the basic salary is not high and employees have to work overtime every day, every overtime pay is paid strictly in accordance with the Labor Law. It can definitely be called a magical factory.
Zhang Jing from the Human Resources Department had just posted the job announcement on the official website when the phone in her office started to flood with calls.
I receive thousands of resumes in my mailbox every day.
When I opened it, I saw that the education level column said technical secondary school or college, and there were even job seekers with bachelor's and master's degrees.
Zhang Jing was at a loss. She only recruited experienced assembly, testing, welding, quality inspection and equipment maintenance engineers. It was useless for her to recruit these college students! First, they had no experience, and second, they were arrogant and difficult to manage.
Therefore, Zhang Jing specifically proposed to Cao Dahua to let the boss make the decision.
After seeing this, Chen Yansen hesitated for a few seconds and decided to recruit 30% of highly educated workers.
These people just chose the wrong major and have difficulty finding jobs, but they are not really stupid. Whether they are thrown into the maintenance department or as management trainees, they have certain potential for training.
Orange Technology Factory’s future competitors are Foxconn, Pegatron, and BYD.
Establishing an employee training system for the Orange Mobile Phone Factory in advance will also facilitate future external expansion. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find management candidates that would satisfy Chen Yansen relying solely on social recruitment channels.
After dealing with work emails, Chen Yansen took out a book called "Advanced Solid State Physics" and started reading it. This was the original version that he asked Zhou Shouzhi to send from overseas, and it had not yet been introduced in China at that time.
Just then, the phone on the table rang.
Chen Yansen raised his head and took a look. It was an unfamiliar landline number, but it was not difficult to tell from the area code in front that the call was from Luzhou.
"Hello, who is this?"
He hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am Tao Jingwen from the Luzhou Central Office." A steady, middle-aged male voice came from the phone.
Chen Yansen frowned slightly, and while responding politely, he opened the official website of the Central Office and found Tao Jingwen's name.
Meng Yuanzhi’s personal secretary!
He had heard from Tang Qingshan before that Meng Yuanzhi wanted Orange Technology and Pinbei to move their headquarters to Luzhou, but was stopped by Xu Zhenhui.
This time he was approached directly, most likely because of this matter, or maybe his goal was the same as Xu Zhenhui's, which was to get him to build a branch factory in Luzhou.
"Hello, Secretary Tao, do you have any instructions for me?" Chen Yansen asked knowingly.
"Mr. Chen, if you are free, can you come to Luzhou? Boss Meng wants to see you."
Tao Jingwen looked like she was asking for Chen Yansen's opinion, but she used a declarative tone.
In his opinion, given Meng Yuanzhi's status in the province, it would be difficult to find an entrepreneur who dared not give him face.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Tao, I really don't have time these two days because I can't leave for the final exams at school. What's the matter? I can go to Luzhou to visit Mr. Meng after the exams are over."
Chen Yansen pondered for a moment and replied with a smile.
Final exam?
What's the reason? Tao Jingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had already inquired about it. Chen Yansen had only walked into the classroom a few times since he entered college. If it weren't for Tang Qingshan's protection, he would have failed the course and had to retake it.
He thought for a moment and then explained straight to the point: "The boss wants Mr. Chen to build a branch factory in Luzhou, and has reserved a 100,000 square meter factory building for Mr. Chen in Luyang District. As long as the Orange Mobile Factory can achieve a certain investment scale, per-mu tax revenue and output value, this factory building will be permanently owned by Orange Technology for free use."
100,000 square meters, free to use? As expected of a Luzhou boss, he is indeed more generous than Xu Zhenhui.
Meng Yuanzhi didn't care about the little profit from selling the land at all. He valued more the positive value that the Orange mobile phone factory would bring to Luzhou's digital industry after it went into production.
Moreover, he definitely knew that Xu Zhenhui had contacted him, otherwise he would not have asked Tao Jingwen to deliberately emphasize that this was a ready-made factory building of 100,000 square meters, rather than a barren industrial land.
Chen Yansen sighed. Orange Technology has really become a hot commodity nowadays.
No wonder that more than a decade later, Lei Yijun's Xiaomi automobile factory chose the suburbs of Yanjing as its first choice and was ultimately unable to move beyond Yanjing.
The big guys above give you money, resources, and policies, and what they want is for you to create value for their promotion.
"Mr. Chen, if you have any concerns, please feel free to tell me. As long as it is possible, I can help you solve it." Tao Jingwen added.
Chen Yansen smiled and said calmly, "I want the equity of Dongfang. Can Secretary Tao help me?"
Tao Jingwen was stunned after hearing this, and then he realized that before making this call, he heard someone say that people from Senlian Capital had contact with Dongfang.
But Dongfang is different from ordinary companies. Behind it are bigwigs and venture capital institutions from Yanjing and Luzhou.
The total shareholdings held by Luzhou Construction Investment and Xincheng International account for less than 20%.
Tao Jingwen really has no say in this request. Everyone, including Meng Yuanzhi, has to coordinate the interests of all parties before there is a chance to make this happen.
"Mr. Chen, do you have any other requests?" Tao Jingwen asked calmly.
Anyway, since he couldn't handle the problem himself, there were people from above to support him, so he just had to get Chen Yansen to agree to build a factory in Luzhou.
There is always a solution to the following problems.
"No more." Chen Yansen answered directly and straightforwardly.
Tao Jingwen would help him get things like land use preferences, tax exemptions, subsidies for high-tech enterprises and talent policy support without him having to ask.
If he said it directly, it would make Chen Yansen seem shallow and incompetent.
"Okay, then we'll contact each other later." Tao Jingwen hung up the phone, turned and walked into the boss's office, intending to report the progress.
"Dongfang equity? This guy has big ambitions. He has been in the industry for less than a year and he has already started to lay out the supply chain. I heard that Senlian Capital has also invested in Desay Battery."
Meng Yuanzhi stood up and chuckled.
"It is true. Senlian Capital used Orange Mobile's orders and 300 million in cash to purchase a 5% stake in Desay Industrial. In addition, Senlian Capital started buying Class A shares of Dongfang in the circulation market last November, and currently holds 4.9% of the shares."
Tao Jingwen nodded in response.
"Please arrange for the person in charge of Jiantou and Xincheng International to come for a meeting this afternoon."
Meng Yuanzhi thought for a moment and gave instructions to Tao Jingwen.
"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away."
Tao Jingwen responded quickly.
Although he felt that it was not cost-effective to give up the shares of Dongfang for the sake of an Orange mobile phone factory, he also understood one thing: never question the boss's decision.
As a secretary, just execute.
